Hey! I'm a small girl-13 and I'm pretty fit everywhere except for my tummy! I do crunches all the time since im a dancer. That has worked with my upper abs, but has't done much to my lower abs. I know about leg lifts and those sort of excersizes, but im never really motivated to do them! Any suggestions?

Some side info: My tummy is really skinny when I wake up, but as the day moves on and as I eta my meals I get fatter. This is so frustrating!! How can I avoid this also?! (link)
yeah it's weird , i've talked to a lot of people about that second thing. my stomach's really flat when i wake up like it almost caves in , but then the instant i eat something it gets bigger. you just have to eat less fatty foods in the morning and eat them slower and your stomach will still get a little bigger as the day goes on but not by much. just don't eat french toast, waffles, or anything like that for breakfast. try an apple, banana, any fruit, etc. you could try doing the exercises right before you go to bed if you can't go to sleep. or right when you wake up if you don't wanna get outta bed right away. ♥

why are christians so afraid to share there faith! im a christian and im not afraid at all. why cant the "christians" who wont die for God stop calling themselves christians! (link)
It's really not fair for you to claim that those who would be scared to die for God aren't Christians. It's hard for people to grasp the concept of death, and you say you would die for Him right now, but how can you be so positive that if you were actually put in the situation that you would follow through with your word? These people are just being honest and saying that they'd be afraid. Can you honestly say that if someone put your face up to a burning stove and said "Do you believe in God?" you would say yes? Also, it's a sin to be proud and degrade your fellow Christians.

I am seventeen, and I've had my period for about 4 years. It has always been regular [never late. always early or on time.] Right now it's 2 weeks late, and I know irregular periods are completely normal for someone who's had it for a couple years. But shouldn't it be pretty regular by now? I am NOT sexually active, so there is no way I am pregnant. (My mom is freaking out and telling me to confess already, ha.) Anyways, should I be a little worried that it's THIS late? (link)
HEY! DON`T WORRY -- I`M SIXTEEN AND I`VE HAD MY PERIOD FOR A lONG TIME TOO, AND I WAS SERIOUSlY IN lIKE THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AS YOU. MY PERIOD HAD BEEN REGUlAR EVER SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. I COUlD lIKE KNOW THE EXACT DATE I WOUlD GET IT AND AlMOST THE TIME, HAHA. NO SERIOUSlY THO. THEN JUST lAST MONTH, IT WAS A MONTH lATE. BUT WHEN I GOT IT AGAIN, IT WAS FINE. I`M NOT SEXUAllY ACTIVE AT All EITHER, IN FACT I`M PRETTY GREEN. WEll I HOPE THIS HElPS. IT`S NOT WEIRD EVEN FOR SOMEONE WHO`S BEEN REGUlAR


How does anorexia harm you or your body? I know pukeing will stain your teeth but what else?? cuz if thats it, then whats the harm right? (link)
ANOREXIA HARMS YOUR BODY IN MANY WAYS OTHER THAN STAINING YOUR TEETH. IF YOU DEPRIVE YOUR BODY OF NUTRIENTS, YOU ARE MUCH MORE lIKElY TO SUFFER CARDIAC ARRYTHMIA WHICH EITHER PUTS YOU IN A COMA OR CAN GIVE YOU A HEART ATTACK. ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO MINIMAl BODY WEIGHT, YOU BODY WIll START TO FEED ON MUSClES FIRST, THEN FAT, THEN OTHER TISSUE AND POSSIBlY ORGANS. IT IS A lIFE THREATENING DISEASE, AND IT IS VERY PROBABlE TO DIE FROM IT IF UNTREATED. AlSO, IT lEADS TO MENTAl DISEASES SUCH AS DEPRESSION. YOU ARE MORE lIKElY TO GET SICKNESSES AND COlDS BECAUSE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WIll lACK NECESSARY NUTRIENTS THAT IT NEEDS TO FUNCTION.

i need help in my spirtul life with god. im a christian an all that but i wan to grow mor with god!
how can i get closer to god?
(link)
Hey, it's really great that you wanna get closer to God!! He's already working in you spiritually if you have that desire. If you haven't already, start going to church on Sunday mornings and if you can on Wednesday or Friday nights! (whenever they are offered) I don't know if your church has a youth group, but that helped me a lot in my faith. Ask one of your friends who's also a Christian to be your partner and keep you accountable for things like reading your Bible, praying, etc. Just bring all your requests to God and trust Him, and soon, you'll be closer to Him than you could have imagined! Best of luck to ya

Ok, I love my friends very much don't get me wrong. I have so much fun with them. But tonight I just broke down and started crying because I was so pissed and upset. I feel like I'm always the one being laughed at. We all make fun of eachother, and we laugh together, but I feel like I'm hardly ever taken seriously. One of my friends kept saying stuff, saying I live in the ghetto when I don't. And he knows it, he just wants something to laugh at. I didn't care, and it was funny, but it kept building up. Does this happen with anyone else? What do you do? I'd really like to talk to anyone in the same situation. Thank you so much. (link)
Hey! I'm been in the exact same situation as you lately. My friends recently have just been cracking jokes about me being Asian all the time and just never.. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm sure you know. I haven't really done anything about it yet, but I'm planning on talking to just one girl first -- one of my closest friends in the group. I'm just gonna confront her online, [because it might be harder to explain in person] that it really bothers me when she continuously does that because to me, it was maybe funny the first few times, but now it's gotten a little... tired. Then when you're around her, maybe when your other friends crack jokes about you or certain other things, your friend will stick up for you and just be like, "hey guys, that's not really funny". Eventually it will get down to a lower level and then they'll finally stop. I hope this helps! Good luck with your friends


I'm 13/f && I'll admit it, I have a big nose. I know I'm too young for plastic surgery but I'm really self consious of it so is there any way I could minimize it? Like is there a way I could do my makeup to make it less noticeable?

xO* GiiRL iiN NEED (link)
*There are many tips you can use to make your nose less noticeable and draw attention to other parts of your face. For one, parting your hair on either your left or right side rather then the middle draws attention AWAY from your nose and on to your eyes and lips. Another suggestion is wearing a bright color on both your lips and eyes. Nude or pastel colors do not have the same effect, although they may work a little bit in focusing on your eyes and other parts of your face. Bright colors will make people first notice your eyes, and then your lips while you are talking to them. In terms of your diet, you may want to cut back on your intake of Vitamin E and Iron as they are the essentials in the cartilage of your nose. (found in spinach, eggs, etc..) I hope this helps!!


I'm having a camping party by the sea for my 18th birthday in July but the only campsite available is quite expensive.

The charge is £5 per head for camping and I want to invite 20+ people. My total budget for the party is £100. I'm providing food and drinks, and even tents for some people. Do you think it would be reasonable to ask my friends to help out with their camping fee and if so how much should I ask them for? I thought about asking for at least £2.50 each otherwise I'll have to severely limit the number of people.

Thanks.
*Girlwithamansname (link)
Hey! Of course, that is VERY reasonable to have them do this for you... especially your eighteenth birthday! (Happy bday by the way =]) I just had my party, and I had my friends pay for some of their own way too, and they were perfectly FINE with it! Your friends won't care, and if you feel guilty or anything, you could just ask them to like.... deduct a little from your present or whatever! $2.50 should be fine for everyone, and some may even give you $3 just because they don't want to have to deal with change. I hope you have a great bday.... having a budget really stinks, but I'm sure you'll have a great time!!

*Hey sweetie.... I'm so sry this all happened! Girls are so mean these days, but this also happened to my friend when she started hanging out with popular people, and what she did worked really well. She joined a sports team, (which popular people are typically not on because they're afraid it'll mess up their physical appearance) and the girls on the team were extremely nice to her. At first, some didn't talk to her because of the rumors, but after a while, they ended up hanging out a lot together. After all, everyone always says "teammates are for life." Try joining the cross country team - they tend to be really close, almost like a family. Just start saying hey to people and being friendly, it almost never fails. Be nice to everyone, even the people who may seem like "losers" or "nerds" to you, because you never know: they may end up being the ones that stick up for you and defend you if that girl ever confronts you again. Also, be confident in yourself because that's something those girls can never take away. If they ever try making fun of you to your face again, simply look them in the eye, and then turn and walk away. Or continue what you were doing - all they want to do is get a rise out of you, and when you act mad, it makes them happy and want to continue. Also ask the new friends you make, (which you will!) to stick up for you some time. There's always strength in numbers. I hope this helps


how come guys get horny so fast and girls dont? i mean it takes my bf 5 minutes to get horny and then like 30 minutes for me. how come? and is there a way to change that? thanks (link)
Guys naturally have a higher, (and more powerful) level of testosterone, the male hormone, than girls have the female hormone, estrogen. This is why they tend to get horny faster than girls. They are also more turned on by girls' body parts than girls are by guys' body parts. You could try doing something eccentric, like a threesome, or something that might spark your interest faster. Otherwise, the only other way is to have him give you pleasurable experiences. That way, the next time you do something together, you might anticipate it and get horny at the thought of it.


Well I am pretty short for my age. My parents say that if I sleep a lot I will grow. I am a night person, meaning I will go to sleep at 3 or 4 and wake up around 12 or so, and that's on a light day. Now that it's summer I will be going to sleep a lot later, but I will be getting more sleep because I'm gonna be sleeping in and stuff. So, do you think I can grow if I continue to sleep an average of 12 hours most of the time? And if sleeping and growth have no relation, what else can I do? I eat healthy, by the way. (link)
Getting a lot of sleep really does help your growth a LOT, but it's also dependent on the time that you fall asleep. Most of the time, your brain needs rest and slows its functioning at around 10:00, so if at all possible, you should try to sleep at that time. You waking up late in the afternoon, (12) is your body's way of telling you that you aren't getting to sleep early enough. If you try hitting the sack just a little earlier, you may see a lot of difference in your height and your overall healthiness. (It also helps boost your metabolism which eventually makes you thinner!!) Also, exercise increases the flow of oxygen in the blood, so try going out for a jog early in the morning when the air is crisp and clean. =]


My friend is having a pool party in a couple of days and my crush is gonna be there! What are some tihngs i could do to make him like me more, question for the guys- whta would u want a girl to do for u too liek thme, anytihng i could wear or do?



THnaks!!

5 for everyone! (link)
Make sure, no matter what you were, that you act very confident in yourself!! My guy friends have told me that they luv that in a girl. Try to get a flattering swimsuit, solid, bright colors usually attract guys the most! And wear cute, non-rusting jewelry around your ankles, which is also a turn-on for guys. Try to wet your hair before and use hairspray to make it look tousled and cute. Overall, just talk to him a lot, and don't be afraid to try anything new!! xox
