ok so i REALLY wanna be in cheer/and dance. kuz i love to cheer and dance. although i've never been in any groups or anything like that. well..... my problem is: i just recently turned 13 and i weigh about 140. i know thats absoloutly terrible!!!! tell me what i can do to lose about 20 to 30 pounds. do u think i can be in a after school program, or something like that for dance and cheer right now? do you know any good, healty ways to lose weight? and do you know any sites or links for cheer?
as much help as possible please!!!! (link)
cheerleading and dance are actually great ways to lose weight all by themselves. But if you can't do that I'd recommend a good cardio workout. You could walk for 1 hour each day. And eat breakfast, that will start up your metabolism and you'll burn more calories for the rest of the day. If you skip breakfast you are more apt to gain weight. Eat something light and healthy for breakfast like yogurt and cheerios with skim milk. But realize that if you are going to lose weight the healthy way it will take some time to lose 20-30 pounds. But 140 isn't alot, especially if you are tall (i don't know if you are). Good luck!

Well, with the period thing that is just one of those things you are going to have to push yourself through. When I got my period I was 11 and very shy. I couldn't even bring that stuff up to my mom but I just had to go ahead and do it. And when you tell your dad, I really doubt he'll ask questions. I've noticed that men kind of get freaked out by the whole period issue. I think he realizes that you are getting older and he's taken that aspect of your life into account and knows it's coming soon too though. You don't even have to necessarily say "hey dad, i got my period" you could say something like "hey dad do you think i could have $10 for girl things?" he'll probably know what you are trying to say.

Ahh shaving. I also know how you feel on that one. I don't know why for some girls it's embarrassing but it is! It was for me! If you are the humorous type you could lighten up with situation by making a joke about it. You could tell him you feel like a french woman and/or gorilla and it's about time you got some shaving equipment. Or you could show him your under arms and tell him it's not becoming of a young lady. I really doubt that if you ask him to buy a razor and some shaving cream he'll think your odd or anything. For adults that tends not to be an akward subject. Don't sweat it too much!
