Q: Okay. Well, I just turned 13, and I'm 5'7. The average weight for a person that is 5'7 is 135 lbs. I'm 130 but I feel over weight. I ask people that I know would tell me the truth if I was fat and they say no. I have large breasts as well, would that be a reason?
Am I fat?

No your are not fat. Your are at a perfectly healthy weight for you. The problem is most girl always feel as though they are bigger then they actually are. Trust me when I was your age almost 10 years ago I felt that I was fat too. I look at old pictures and realize it's not true. Larger breast also can make you feel fatter because I too have large breast it runs in my family. So don't worry about your weight because like I said your perfectly healthy.

Q: In the pepsi commercial with Mariah Carey, what is the song that she is singing?
The song is called Time of your Life. I looked it up to make sure.

Q: I want to have a sweet sixteen, but I can't have anything too big because I already had a bat mitzvah. Does anybody have any good, not extrememly expensive ideas for a cute sweet sixteen party? Also, I want some good themes as well.
Instead of an expensive cake you could make cupcake at home which would be just as good. Plus it's a more personal touch to make it yourself. You can always go to the dollar store to find alot of decorations for your party. As for themes...it depends on you and what you enjoy. If you enjoy make-up perhaps you can have a makeover themed party unless your having boys there too and then they may not enjoy that too much. :-) A Luau theme seems like it could be kinda fun. You could also do a hollywood themed party as well.

Q: okay, so i have curly and frizzy and not very shiny hair ..does anyone know a good product for straightening? something that can get it unfrizzed and straighten and make it shiny if possible? i need something that really works, please help! i will rate highh!
Ok...I myself have curly and frizzy hair. It's a pain in the butt to have this type of hair huh?? So the product I use I get from my hair salon so I'm not sure if you can get these around you but here's a website if you can't... http://www.frizzy2silky.com/shop/index.php
Once you go to this site search for By Framesi and purchase the WIO Strait Balm and the Frozen Glaze. It's a little pricey but should last you a while since you don't need alot. Use about a quater size amount of the glaze and a nickle sized amount of the WIO Balm. Apply it when your hair is wet...brush your hair before applying it as well. I use a vent brush when I dry mine but the bottles say a paddle brush. Anyways these gels worked wonders on my own hair. I also use a ceramic straitening iron after my hair is dry which really helps with the frizz and adds shine. Anyhow, I say give it a try and I hope it helps you.

Q: I am 16 years old and im overweight..i weight almost 200lbs. I feel really bad about it and i was wondering if anyone had any dieting tips or anything on how i could loose weight before the summer is over...THANKS!!!
The best thing for you is to try cutting out soda, fried foods, and junk food. Eat alot of baked/grilled chicken, if you like fish eat baked fish too. Veggies and fruits make great snacks besides you should be eating alot of them anyways. Don't skip meals because it's not healthy instead try eating 5-6 small meals. Go to your doctor and I'm sure he/she could give you a meal plan that will be appropriate for you. Plus be active it doesn't matter how just as long as your moving. Oh yeah water is your best friend drink alot of it. Good Luck. :-)

Q: im only in the 9th grade but i like to plan ahead to know where im going in life ant things like that i really dont like having to decide things at the last moment like what i want to be when im older. does anyone know any websites where you can take tests and then they give you the best occupation for you based on what you answer. or does anyone have any occupation ideas for someone like me who wants to have a higher amount of income, is in advanced classes now in high school, and likes sports. i know theres alot of options but can you think of a few based on what you would think of being if you were like me.. anything helps.

thanks
I'm 22 years old and I have changed what I wanna do about 6 times. I was going to college for food service management and now I wanna be a pet groomer. Anyways try going to this website

http://web.tickle.com/tests/

Honestly I'm not sure how accurate they are but it might give you an idea. Just remember that as you get older and try different things your passions just might change. Anyways Good luck and i sure you'll be successful no matter what you choose.

Q: I put the wrong email account I ment to put @gmail.com but instead I put @hotmail.com cause i wasn't really paying attention but anyways I tried emailing the person that had the account while ago but what happens if they won't switch the email account.. what would I do?
When you log into your account it takes you to that first page where you can edit your profile. Click on account settings and change your email address in there. I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

Q: My best friends boyfriend is transferring schools and they are going to break up on the last day of school because they think its too hard to stay together.. she is crying sll the time and i really feel so sorry for her, but what should I tell her?

Thanks I rate 5s for everyone.
Aww I know that's gotta be tough. They should try to seperate themselves from each other before school ends. It will get easier and easier for your friend to be without him trust me. She's gonna be sad and cry and there isn't much you can do. Try to get her to hang out with you and other friends. Avoid any subject involving love...no love songs or romantic movies or anything that might spark a memory where he was involved. Hope your friend recovers fast.
:-)

Q: I have an odd obsession with languages. I get very excited about learning them but do you think it's a bad idea to learn more than one-two at a time?

I'm going to take German next year so I'm trying to remember the basics and such.

My boyfriend is taking Spanish and so I am also trying to learn some of that.

But before any of this... I was already studying Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Russian.

I love all languages.. But I'm pretty sure it's not good to learn all at the same time..

So which ones do you think is easier to learn and I should stick with for now?
Hey there is nothing wrong with wanting to learn languages. Um but I do think you should pace yourself. I would say take two at a time and see how it goes. Make sure they are different so you don't start getting confused. But if it becomes to much maybe trim down to one. However I admire your desire to learn languages I want to but I lack the time to devote to it.

Q: Does anyone know what the beginning stages of falling in love are like? Because I think I'm falling for a guy at work. These are my symptoms: constantly thinking about him with a smile on my face; friends asking me why I'm smiling (I'm not even aware of it it's because I'm thinking about him); getting butterflies when I see him; blushing when he looks at me. I also think he feels the same way about me. He works at the same store as me. About a month ago I went for drinks with him and some other co-workers. He was staring at me and smiling at me when I was dancing; and at work lately he's been staring at me and when I walked into the staffroom the other day as soon as I walked in he was staring at me and held my gaze. When he walks down my department he will look down the aisle to see if I'm working.
Do you think I'm in love with him? And more importantly do you think he's falling in love with me? When we look at each other I feel like I can't breathe.
I'm in the same situation with a guy I work with. I'm 22 and he makes me feel like a giddy teenager. I got it all too...the butterflies, smiling while thinking about him, and my guy also looks and me and seems to be interested. It's tough especially since it's someone at work and that can be awkward if he doesn't. Anyways you got a huge crush just like I do. I think the guy might feel the same way just as I think my guy likes me. Men are hard to figure out. I just can't believe someone is in the same situation as me. Oh also see how he treats others in the office and if he's different with them then with you it might even be more possible. Me and my guy act like a couple of little kids around each other. It's cute. Hope it works out for ya.
:-)

Q: ok. im 12. somewhat skinny, and 100 lbs. i havent eatn in about 6 days,but i drink water a lot. i want to eat, but then i feel bad and ill just make myself throw up. i geuss im afraid to eat or gain weight. i keep passing out and only a few ppl know why. help anyone?
I'm gonna stress that it's crucial that you go to a doctor and maybe even a therapist. You could die if you don't get the proper nutrition. Drinking water is great but that's not enough. I know the pressure to be thin but you can't do it that way. Tell you parents and get help fast. Then have a doctor give you an eating plan that will help you be at a healthy weight. I'm someone that says its better to be a tiny bit overweight then severely underweight.

Q: I am a female from Canada.
I am in a serious committed relationship with my bf and he does not know that I am bi-sexual. I have been considering telling him because of my re-occuring problems about fantasizing being in a relationship with a female.
I love my bf as well and we have a healthy relationship. I want to tell him because I don't feel right keeping secrets from him. We are very open to each other. Should I tell him? How should I put it so he won't feel threatened?
Advice please?
I have a friend who is Bi and she has a boyfriend. I'm pretty sure he knows and doesn;t seem to mind. Um I don't think she ever has relationships with girls but I know she finds girls attractive. My advice is to tell him that your bi but that you still love him and wanna be with him. He hopefully won't mind but you have to be open and honest in a relationship. If he can't accept you how you are then it's not worth your time. He might be stunned at first but if he cares for you he'll get over it. I'm a straight girl myself so I can't imagine how you feel but I still think the direct approach is best for anything. Good Luck. Hope it turns out ok.

Q: What are some easy recipes that make good food. I want to empress this guy with my cooking. I think we might be hanging out soon and when it comes around lunch time I want to wip something nice up! but not to fancy.
I went to college for Food Service Managment so I am an expert on this subject. You should know what your guy likes to eat to really impress him. But, I say an italian meal would be perfect. At the store pick up a jar of Alfredo sauce...I would typically make my own but you want quick so the jarred stuff is good. Also buy some kind of pasta...i would say Fettuccine noodle. Make sure you have olive oil. And of course grated Parmesan cheese is a must for an italian meal. Also if you want a great dessert go to the freezer ailse and introduce yourself to Sara Lee(best choice) or similar brands frozen desserts require nothing but thawing. Now follow the instruction on the package of noodle for cooking time typically it should be between 7-10 minutes. It's important to not over or under cook the noodles. Then once you got the pasta in the boiling water which by the way before you boil water put in a a tsp of olive oil and a 1/4 tsp of salt. Prevents noodles from sticking to much. Throw the alfredo sauce into a pan on a real low heat and make sure to stir it because it can burn fast. Do this after the noodles are in the boiling water because it won't take long to heat the sauce. Once you have the noodles cooked and sauce heated toss it together and be careful not to add too much sauce though put the reeat in a dish on the side you add more at the table. Top with the grated parmesan cheese. Also use the idea of the salad and dressing. Because salads are a snap to throw together. Trust me he'll love it. The only thing is you might need to add salt and pepper once your eating for extra flavor. Good luck. :-)


Q: my dog will not eat and he is looseing weight rappidly. where can I find a clinic or is something I can buy him to help him get better
I don't know if your dog is having this problem but recently my dog wouldn't eat and she was bloated and constipated. Try feeling your dogs belly and if it feel real tight and hard he may be bloated from eating something that made him sick. Take him to a vet because they can give the dog vitamins and nutrients to help him. Or maybe it's something more serious then what I had experienced. I hope your dog feels better.

Q: Okay so there's this boy:). blah blah blah. He's so cute & all. He sits behind me in 7th period and I have 1st & 8th with him as well. We flirt ALOT & alot of people think we should go out. We're always together except outside of school. I signed his yearbook & he got mad because I didn't write my number! He can't stand me to be mad at him & will give me this pity sort of thing. I'm 5'2 5'3ish so I'm not exactly Shaq. The thing is, he's a little shorter than me! It really bothers me with a guy being shorter. I like him and all but I'm afraid that if I went out with him it would be wierd. I don't know what to do please help! I'll rate for GOOD answers.
OK...I know we all tend to get hung up on the physical appearance or age of a person. Trust me I wasn't allowing myself to like this guy because he was three years younger then me I'm 22 and he is 19. Then i looked past the age thing because he is the sweetest guy I have ever known. Anyways my point is don't get concerned over this height thing or what other people think. Buy him a nice pair of high heels...hehe. Take him as he his or if you don't some other girl might. I know you don't want that. :-)

ok i hope this is good but if this isnt please help me out and tell me what to do.
thx
OK, I have recently lost about 15 pounds. I did Turbo Jam which is alot of fun it's kickboxing/dance. Whole grain and vitamins are very important. Stay way from processed meat and lunch meats as alot contain high salf. Fish and Grilled chicken is the way to go. Fruits and veggies are important look on the internet for the correct portion of them to eat. You should drink a gallon of water a day...throughout the day. I did it and it's hard but it helped. Try not to eat the same thing everyday or you'll get frustrated and bored. Plus talk to your doctor about an eating plan that will work for you. Absolutely stay away from anything with artificial sweetner it's awful for you. I don't care what people say about it. Good luck and if you need support just ask me. I'm right there with ya.
