How do you keep fit? i mean in summer i get super lazy.. do you have any ideas? (link)
Hey there. Yeah i was just actually thinking the same about two weeks ago. I decided that i should have a plan for each week about what activites i can do to stay fit. So i decided that i would take a jog around my block 1-3 times around 2-4 times a week. I will try my best to do about 25 sit-ups each day. Either when i wake up or before i go to bed. and other little stuff along the week. In summer i get very lazy, and i am very care-free. So i decided that i would change & have a daily plan. This plan has been working for me. Just start off each day fresh, and step by step. If you have any other questions just ask! i hope i helped!

how come no one rates people?!?!?!?!!?!? =)

Sincerely,
Me (link)
When i ask questions and someone answers them i try my best to remember to rate them. I can't really speak for everyone hear because some people i guess just choose not to rate, but i like when people rate me because then i know if i am giving out good advice or not. Its really just up to the people that asked the question if the should rate you or not. I hope i helped, i know my answer was a bit confusing. lol if you give me your advicenators name i can have my friends ask you some questions and rate you if you like?

wat is insomania?
(link)
I believe it is when someone has a hard time trying to fall asleep. Its basically a sleeping disorder. The definition of insomnia is a chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time. I hope i helped. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I have been having these major break outs around my hairline and on my nose..I have tryed alot of stuff that just dont seem to work any ideas? (link)
Hey, some of my friends have had a problem with acne breaking out around the hair line, and around the nose, too. Just make sure you wash your face right when you wake up in the morning, and right before you go to bed. do NOT put lotion on your face where the break-outs are happening because this will either irritate it or make it even worse & spread all over your face. I would recommend *Neutrogena-- Clear Pore Treatment*, i use it right before i go to bed. I think it helps out a lot because I have like no acne what so ever. You can buy that product at any local convienent store like walgreens, target..etc. I really hope i helped. If that product didn't work, i will recommend some more product. I will ask my friends and see what they think works best. So get back to me if that didn't help.

My boy friend andi i have been going out for a little over a month now and i dont think we are quit on the same page i mean he s a complete punk and he is bbie polar im just kinda a different of personalities i want to be punk because i could just be my self and not worry what other people think but i dont want him to think imm turning punk to copie him what do i do? (link)
Hey-- For starters, do you want you want to do. Tell him how you feel about being punk. Asure him that you are not doing it to copy him, but to just be yourself- {inside & out}. If he still think you are just copying him, then he is not worth it at all. No one should stop you from becoming who you really are. He should be supportive. Well i hope i helped!

Hey Taylor. I know that baby-sitting isn't one of your top 3 topics. but i am 12 and i am going to start baby-sitting soon. I just wanted to know what your rates were. I just need someone else's opinion. Thx a bunch! (link)
Hey there! well i began baby-sitting around your age too. Its a good way to become more responsible. My rates are 3 dollars and hour plus an additional dollar for another kid. For example say i was baby-sitting 3 kids for 2 hours. I would make a total of $10. However, for most people i baby-sit for they set their own rates. I really hoped i helped. i Know the rates can kind of get confusing! Have fun baby-sitting, its an adventure i tell you! lol

well i was in gym one time and i fell off of the rope i was climbing. i hurt my arm really bad and my gym teacher told me to stretch it out. he didnt let me go to a nurse. when i got home i went to the emergency room because it hurt really bad. they x rayed it and turns out i fractured it. what should i do about my teacher? (link)
I think you should tell your parents the situation and how your teacher failed to help. Then you & your parents should go up to the school and talk to the principal about how you got injured & the gym teacher told you to *stretch it out* instead of seeing the school nurse. Luckily, the gym teacher will get fined & learn his/her lesson! i hope i helped!

well the past 3 years me and my ex have been talkin every single day on da phone.. he calls me everyday and he is so sweet to me and so am i but we havent seen each other for 3 years never.......i kno its weird but i kinda liked da way he waz with me and how he called me everyday anywayz today i went to see him and omg i think i like him alottttttttttttttttttt......but i dont know what to do he called me today and we were talking about each other and eerything please help me i like him alot (link)
Hey-- i think you should give him another chance, i mean everyone deserves a second chance. If you like the way you guys are together, the way he treated you, then i think that you should tell him how you feel. Maybe he feels the same way about you. If you don't tell him you might regret it and always wonder *what if*.. i know because i have done that in the past. well i hope i helped! if you have any other questions feel free to ask me! keep me posted on the relationship!

xox tay


okay.. i have been wondering about this.. do you have to shave {down there}? do guys prefer? which is most common? sorry im very curious! lol (link)
Hey there-- well it really depends on how you feel. Guys really don't care, but some do. I think it is actually more common that girls don't shave down there. Some girls do though because they think its more comfortable. Do what you feel is best. You might want to ask your doctor, for her opinion-- because you could end up gettin razor burns for example. I have heard those are irritating! well i hope i helped & if you have any other questions i am here to help!

Hey! my name is soulsista. I need some good advice on this situation.you see, my friend is going to junior high as a seventh grader. She has only dated twice.Once from kindergarten to 1st grade and another in about 4th or 5th grade.
she really needs to know if she should start dating again or just stay single for now. (link)
Hey Soulsista-- well for starters personally i don't think elementary school *dating* really counts as a relationship or dating. because you really don't know what it means to date or be a boyfriend/girlfriend. She should stay single for now, since she is just starting junior high, and if she meets a boy that interests you take it slow. First, she should talk to him like a regular guy friend. then start flirting a lil bit each day, {don't flirt a lot in the beginning, that could be a turn-down}. I hope everything i helped out your friend! if you have any other questions feel free to ask me!

i need help because i am so ready to begin a serouse relationship but my mom thinks im to young! im ready to kiss a guy or make out but im scared my mom will find out! hat do i do! (link)
Hey-- i have been in your position before and i am sure a lot of young girls have. Think to yourself though if deep down inside if you are really ready to begin a serious relationship. Just because other people at school are, or even your friends doesn't mean you have to. But if you think you are ready, then i wish you the best of luck! I didn't tell my mom when i kissed a guy/ or made-out until a lil bit later. Because i wasn't comfortable to tell her. Tell your mom when you are ready & comfortable. i really hope i helped! please keep me informed with your love life and tell me how things go with your serious relationship! if you have any other questions feel free to ask me!

i constantly feel like im fat i weigh 108 im 5'4 and 13 i want to slim up my abs thighs and i think they call them love-handles i want those gone but i want them gone fast! can you help me please? (link)
Hey-- you are not fat at all! you are probably under-average. You are only 13, so don't worry about your weight. You are perfect sized. But if you really want to get rid of those *love handles* i suggest doing exercises everyday. Start day by day- not all at once. Running around your block or on the tread-mill{i don't think i spelt it right.. oops} would help out a lot! well i hope i helped! if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

i love my best friend she is so awesome but i guess lately ive been succeding in a lot of things and shes always telling me how much better i am at things than she is and i think shes kinda getting upset about it. i try to reassure that w/e she does is awesome cause it is but i guess it just really gets her down when i am "better" at something... what should i do?? (link)
hey there-- well it looks like your friend has low self-esteem. She is probably good at stuff but doesn't even realize it. Try and help her point things out that she is good at. Try to do stuff that she is really good at and just have fun with it. Tell her that it doesn't matter who is "better", everyone is good at something in life, maybe she hasn't noticed what she is good at, or maybe she hasn't found something she is good at. It all takes time! i hope i helped! If you have anymore questions i am here to help!

in 5th grade i moved up north. and i met this boy named *j*, who happened to be my neighbor. the first time i saw him, i had a crush on him. i mean im a girl who never even thought about boys, until i saw him. i found out later he liked me and we went out in 6th grade-- for 9 months, then i broke up with him because he never talked to me like he used to. and he understood where i was coming from, and yet we still liked each other-- a lot. in 7th grade, we went out, and then his friend came riding around the block saying that he didn't want to go out with me. the same year, i decided to give him another chance, but he dumped me again. then there i was sitting there with a broken heart. and i promised myself as well as my best friend that i would never ever go out with him again. well soon enough, in 8th grade, i gave him another chance, i thought he would change-- but he didn't. we went out for about 3-4 months. i was at my neighbor's house, and i found out he liked this girl behind my back. i found this conversation at his house, and it was all this perverted crap with her. i was furious. so of course we broke up-- again. this time was different, we didn't talk for about 3 months. then slowly we started becoming friends again, and 5 more months after that we got closer and i kissed him. and we also cuddled a lot. all my feelings started rushing back. i mean he was the first guy i ever liked, and cared about. a few days later he asked me out-- and i had the guts to say no. it hurt me so bad, because i liked him soo much, but i couldn't stand getting another heart break. that night i found out he started telling people he liked my best friend. my bestfriend & i both knew that he was just trying to get revenge on me because i turned him down. and later we found out that it was all just an act. he was mad at me for awhile, and i didn't blame him for being mad because i would be too. and then we became close friends again, and just recently we have became friends with benefits. he likes this other girl(lets call her *A*). and me too. but A would never go out with him. but now i regret saying no to him, because he is telling people that he will never ask me out again because i rejected him. but i really do like him, im just scared to get hurt again. do you think i should just forget him-- cuz highschool is next year(remember i have to see him everyday of summer because he is my neighbor and friends with my brother). should i give him one last chance? i really need your opinion on this. i have been confused for years, and i just can't seem to let him go. do you have any tips? anything would help at this point.

-confused (link)
I would personally just see how things go. Summer is coming up, and you will see plenty of him. See if your feelings for him are true, or maybe it is really just a strong friendship. Highschool is right around the corner, and there will be plenty or more guys. Im not saying just forget about him, but he isn't the only guy for you. Just keep an open mind-- anything can happen. i wish you the best of luck-- and keep me updated and let me know what happens.

xoxo
