Honestly the only thing that has ever worked for me is running. You can't just do crunches and lunges to look better when you have fat on top of your muscles...it's just not going to work. You first need to get rid of some of the fat on top before you start toning up.

Over the summer I ran on the trails behind me house which have some large hills and i would challenge myself to run up every hill. It worked wonders on my butt and abs! I know its winter but if you really want to get a better body i really think cardio is all you can go to get results fast.

I'm 4'11" as well and had the same exact situation two years ago. I went to an endocrinologist and they explained these growth hormone shots to me. It sounded soooo nice i mean come on i could GROW! But there are side effects to these shots that are undiscovered and I decided that it wasn't worth messing with mother nature. Especially when i could be perfectly healthy without it. Theres just a little too much risk. Honestly, I am perfectly fine with my height. I have learned to embrace it and I know that I would be a different person if I was taller :] I suggest that you don't use them. Being petite is beautiful and I absolutely LOVE it. I play sports and I'm fine! Field hockey and pole vaulting are my thing. And being short has NOTHING to do with my successes.

Stretch marks occur when you grow, gain weight, or loose weight quickly. They sell creams to help, but they take months to work unfortunately.

Try wearing shorts over your bathing suit bottoms or buy board shorts. Bathing suit season is almost over, so you should be fine. They'll go away in a couple months i promise.

I would strongly recommend that you DON't do that. 8 hours is the maximum and even that is still dangerous. What if your alarm clock broke or something? Don't put yourself at risk. Just wear a pad for sleeping (:

It is not normal to get severe cramps like that! You should contact your doctor so they can put you on the pill. The pill will control your hormone levels, so your cramps won't be as severe. Every "girl talk" book I have has said to do that, so save yourself the misery and call the doc!!

Tampons are like the portable sleeping bag of the period world. They're amazing and convenient! Please try using them! Your periods will be 10 times better!

Your body is basically made up of water. To replensish your supply you should ALWAYS drink as much water as possible to have healthy skin and eyes. Water is an excellent way to diet because you aren't harming yur body in any way such as Atkins diet will by depriving you of much needed carbs. If you drink lots if water you will be full and not want to eat as much. Good luck!

Love Always:.Arielle.:

Use a blush brush and dip it in baby powder. Brush your roots lightly with the powder and it should absorb the oil. I heard that works so try it in the morning before you go to school. Don't put too much or it will look like you have dandruff :]

I have a puppy and to get him to stop chewing shoes, we sprayed out shoes with this product called Foohey. Supposively it was supposed to stop our dog from eating out shoes, but it had a MAJOR effect on us too! My hands tasted discusting and i no longer wanted to put them in my mouth. I suggest you go to a pet store and get this stuff cuz it REALLY works on humans. It doesn't smell like anything so you can spray your fingers with it.

Good luck breaking your nasty habbit!!

My mom always told me to take the year you first started getting discharge and you'll get your period two years after that. Lets say you started in 6th grade...so you'd get it in 8th grade. In your question, you say that you started last year, so i'd say in another year. You can also determine from your hair (down there). If you have just wisps of hair, thats nothing. BUt, if you have like a carpet... then you'll get it soon. Your boobs have really nothing to do with it because when I go my period i wasn't even an A yet! Hope that helped. Oh and by the way, your period SUCKS so enjoy the years you have without worrying about it okay?!

It happened to me once. I think maybe it happens to everyone! The best thing is to forget about it and really IT WAS ONE GUY!!! Think how much worse it could have been there was a story on here once about this girl who was gunna ask her crush out and then he said "Uh whats on your pants?" See MUCH worse!! You are so lucky you are not her!! If that kid does that to you just shake it off!! DOn't let some dumb thing like that ruin your school life!! You have awhole life ahead of you and you're gunna dwell on this??? NAH!!!!

Personally i like wings because sometimees blood sneaks into the sides of your underwear. They are also sort of annoying but protect you better!

THe "spot" closest to your butt hole. God that was awkward! When your sitting on the toilet its natural so don't worry!

I always find putting a warm waterbottle of your abodomin helps. Go to sleep with it, but just make sure it doesn't spillall over your bed(that happened once)! Also, excercising minimized cramps so maybe go for a run!! Tylonol may help for some people but steer away from advil and asperin because i've heard that is dangerous!

Whenever im nauseous my parents always tell me to eat bread and butter because it's very bland. So, try things that don't have much to them, like crackers are good.

YOU are not the only one with gross feet. there are so many people with weird toes and stuff. You know how I know? Because they all wear flip flops!! Be comfortable with yourself and wear flip flops if you feel like it. If they make fun of you just laugh along!! Not many people realy look at your feet anyway.

It doesn't turn out all gross. It's barely noticeable when you haven't shaved in a while. If you have blond hairs though, i wouldn't shave above your knees because it takes up more time and you can barely see the hairs!

Well, since you get embarassed easily, slip a note in a cabinet. Like, one in her bathroom or a place she uses a lot. That way you don't have to talk to her

I have really thick hair too. Mine is just below the shoulders, so that might help. If you cut your hair to short, because it is so thick it will be really poofy, so that is something to think about. About your dry hair, I use Dove and it works pretty good, so you could try that. It has special moisturizers in it to make your hair really soft!

Good luck♥

My hair is starting to fall out a lot too. I'm pretty sure it is because the weather is getting warmer.At least thats what my mom told ME!
