Im Holly. Im 17 years old and im here to help, so ask me anything. I would love to help you.

advice

im 15,16 in like two months

im 5'6 almost 5'7

i weight 110

i also have 34dd boobs

if that makes any differance

im contantly thinking im overweight

sometimes my friends will make stupid jokes kinda hinting at it

but i dont know whats normal for a girl my age and height and everything

soo yeahh what is?

am i normal/overweight?

Your Body Mass Index is 17.8. If your underweight your BMI would be under 18.5. So you are underweight. If you dont know what body mass index is its: A measurement of the relative percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body, in which weight in kilograms is divided by height in meters and the result used as an index of obesity. So dont listen to what your friends are saying.

I have a really bad cramp right now. I've already taken medicine and it hasn't gone away. I can barly stand up for more then 30 seconds because I have such a bad cramp. My flow is also pretty heavy right now, is this making it worse?
What are something I can do to realive the pain? Please help me!

I had the same problem you do a few days ago and i asked my mom and she said take a warm bath. It helped me and when i got out the rest of the day i was fine. I hope it helps you if you try it.

i heard somewhere that when you have your period you could lose weight..is that true?? cus that'd be pretty awesome haha =)

thanks!!

Thats not true. You are bloated when your on your period and you will actually weigh more than normal. I dont know where that rumor started, but yea that would be nice. lol

Omg, can anyone help me? It's almost 3 in the morning where I'm at, and my gum's hurting really bad. It's in the back, where I used to have wisdom teeth. I got them taken out way back in Oct. and haven't had a problem since. It's not my tooth, it's my gum, but I don't know. I don't think it's gingivitis, because it's not red at all. I checked for anything there, like food, but found nothing. So far, I've tried brushing my teeth and using rinse, but that didn't help. I took some painkillers about a half hour ago, but it hasn't helped much either. Does anyone know what this could be? And what can I do to stop the pain? Thanks so much, I'll rate.

When should girls start to wear tampons?

When you think you are ready for one

I got my first period in January. I haven't gotten it since then! I know I'm not pregnat.

What's wrong with me?

it will be irregular but the longer u have your period before the more regular it is so dont worry your not pregnant x0o

OK. I usually have a really heavy flow. Today, blood soaked all the way through my pad, through my underwear, and through my pants!!!! I was so embarassed! Second, i feel like i smell bad during my period. What can i do to control the smell other than changing the pad frequently, because i do. Should i wear perfume?

I could use some help.

Try scented pads or a tampon! if u use scented pads it will cover up the odor but then the only problem is the leaking thing! the tampons will not leak as easily but you have to change them more often than pads purfume would help also but youd have to put a lot on

hi!! omg..in the middle of the night of when im in bed and i stretch..i get a cramp on the bottom of my left or right leg and it hurts like hell. i swear to God it hurts so bad i want to yell but it hurts to bad to yell and i just hold it and its like rock hard i dont know what to do and the pain is just soo unbearable im like OWWWW oh godd....soemoen please help me i dont wanna get another one!! and they happen outta nowhere! someone please please help me!

that happens to me too and ur right it does hurt like hell!! i get them in the middle of the night and it usually happens to me when i run a lot i just get up and stand on it EVEN THOUGH IT HURTS && walk around then go take some motrin or tylenol or something for pain

I'm going on a school trip Wed-Fri. and I've got my period the heaviest it's ever been. It's like I have to change my pad every hour. I've never gotten cramps and now I have them really bad. During the trip we are going to make a couple rest stops off the bus. I can't put a pad in my pocket because it will be obvious..This is going to ruin my whole trip! I won't feel well and all my friends are going to have fun. I can't bring medicine either...it isn't allowed. I might have to wear a couple pads at once and like two pairs of underwear until I can quitely try to change it. Please help me get through this because I don't know what to do! I will remember this trip forever too. =/

bring tampons they are easier to hide! but if u dont want to or dont use tampons then try to bring like a purse or bag or somthing but i think tampons are way easier to use!

i just turned 14 and in janurary or feburary i got my first period. now its april and i havent had it since, i know irreguar periods are normal but for this long?!?!

its completly normal dont worry about a thing it will become more regular the longer you have it

hey there. im thinking about using proactive for my zits. the ones i usually get are either small painful ones, and these huge, cystic ones. they scar, and i have so many scars on my face from acne..and i was wondering if proactive works for both the little ones and the big lump ones that are really painful and beneath the skin, does anyone know what i mean? well if anyone has any personal experiences with the zits im talking about, and/or proactive, please help me!! im just wondering if proactive is right for my kind of skin? thank you!!

it does work but sometimes your skin does not react to it or it takes a while for the results to show up but i know a lot of people who use it and love it because it helped them so much and yes they work for any size zit or anything like that

is it safe to try inserting a tampon if you dont hae your period? (just for practice)

only if you do it a few times because you could get toxic shock syndrome so it is perfectly fine to try it a few times so u can learn how to do it properly

I am 15 and 5'3 and 142 pounds..I used to be 112 when I was 12..I had gained 30 pounds :-x..I can't do sit ups for some reason or anything like that, I need to use my elbow to help me up. I have a breathing problem and I can't really run w/o having to stop and catch my breath every few yards. Is there anyways I can get to about 120 by summer?

start eating healthier and do as much working out as your body will let you do i dont think you will loose all that weight by the summer but you will loose some! try taking out all the fats and sweets that you might be eating and eat more healthier foods!
