Oh my gosh! I can't stand it! I have this fat on the back of my upper thighs and my butt. I don't know if it's "cellulite", but I HATE it! When I wear a bathing suit, it looks all flabby and nasty. What are some excersizes to help? I know leg lifts are supposed to work & my outer thighs are like rocks from doin so many of them , but they don't help by my butt. Please don't name anything obvious. I'm 14, about 5'4, and I weigh about 120. Some people think that's alot for 14 years old, but I have alot of arm and stomach muscle. Well, thanks for your help! I rate 5's.

alright. get on your hands and knees in the dog position. square yuor shuolders with the floor and balance on one leg. (we will say left.) take your right leg and thrust it into the air pointing your toe and keeping your knee straight. you should try to raise it as far as you can go. do as many as you can until it burns. do both legs! you will feel it in yuor butt area.

15/f...i went out with this guy ive been best friends with since sixth grade and were now in 9th and so it was a few months and everything was perfect and i just told myself everything was wrong but it wasnt and so i broke up with him for no reason at all i was just like its over.. and so its been about two months and he went out with this other chick and they broke up and now i realize what a big mistake ive made and we were BEST friends we told each other everything and after he wouldnt even look at me and the past week ive been just trying to make small talk and he'll talk to me and he gives me that look like " make it better please" but he doesnt act like that you know?..i want him back so bad i miss him soo much but i dont expect that i just want it to be the way it was before..

It sounds dramatic! Being in this situation, I'm going to tell you that the only way to make it better is to come out and say it. Work up the guts to call him or talk to him online, and tell him flat out exactly how you feel. Tell him that he was special to you and the real reason why you broke up with him. If it was just to push him away, admit to him that you were wrong and you would make everything better if he were to ever give you a second chance. Once you have everything out in the open, back off a little bit. Guys are attracted to girls who aren't all on them. Once you've made yourself clear about what you want, stand back and wait for prince charming to come running back. You'll be surprised how well this could work if you give it a shot!

I've liked this guy who's in my grade for a few months now, and it doesn't feel like it's going to go away anytime soon. I feel like he would never like me back because he's pretty hot and I'm...not. I feel like I act like a bitch around him, but my friends tell me I don't. He sorta acts like he likes me, but I'm not sure. He lives kinda far away, so even if he does, what do I do? Here are the reasons why he may like me:

-He stares at me. He looks away when I look at him.
-He says really random things to me out of nowhere that have nothing to do with anything. I don't know if he does that to other girls or not.
-He seems to touch me randomly. He'll poke me, or one time he was complimenting my voice and he slapped me on the back.

I don't know if I'm imagining these things, or if he's just trying to be friendly. Help!

It seems like he's being a normal flirt. Although, the staring thing could be a key factor. You know personally if you act like a bitch to him or not. Sometimes girls flirt by playing hard to get, and we don't even realize it. We can be "viscious" and think that it makes guys like us more. But the truth is, they don't like it at all. The kind of girl most guys are attracted to is a playful, fun flirty girl who is nothing but herself. Open up to this guy! Don't hold back. Pass him a note in class, invite him over for a "study date," or find out his screen name. The best way to get a guy to like you is to get to know him and open up to him. If he likes you, you'll get the vibe. If he doesn't, youll get that vibe, too. Don't worry, if he's not right for you then there will be plenty of other guys. And don't be so down on yourself! Everyone's beautiful in their own way.

ok. i`ve been knowing thiss guy.. since 6th grade and i`ve fallen for him. *since 6th grade* but i was a fat girl and he wasn`t so he didn`t like me. we were kool, kinda friends i guess, but you can tell he didn`t like me cause i used to ask him out all the time. well throughout middle school, my like for him got stronger and stronger. and i lost weight during summer b4 9th grade. well in 9th grade, he started talking to me more, and more. and we evolved a friend ship. he had a girl friend, but she could nvr do nething durin the weekends, so i used to do stuff with him all the time, and he used to cuddle with me. well they broke up and we started talkin, and he asked me out on his birthday. well we broke up but even tho we were broken up we were still actin like we were goin out. he had another g/f and he cheated on her with me and was still tellin me he loved me, and i cheated on my b/f with him. well now he has no g/f and i have no b/f and we tell each other tht we arent goin to get one. but i dont understand why WE D0NT G0 BACK 0UT. i mean we tell each other we love each other, and spend each minute with each other, everyday @ school and everyweekend. but he is goin off to a school next year tht is like 5 hours from here. only gonna come down once a month, but idk. we`re at the end of out 10th grade year. and we have been talking since october of 2004 so almost 2 years. but we don`t go out but we act like we do and everyone at school thinks we do. please i need advice.

I have gone through the exact same thing. Although, I think the reason he won't rush into anything is because he likes the way it is now. When he asks you out, he stands the risk of losing you AGAIN. He won't ask you out because the way you guys act like you're together without having to really call it a "commitment" seems like a better option. I say if you want to take things to the next level, talk to him about how you want to take things back up a knotch. Reassure him that yuo only have eyes for him, and that you will fight to make it work. After all, "love" is a strong term and if that is what you feel towards this boy, and he says it's how he feels about you, then you should have no problem convincing him that you two should be together. If that doesn't work, try pulling away alittle. Guys always wont what they can't seem to have, so if you bump up the hard-to-get knotch, he'll come running back in no time :) About the schol situation: If you don't think yuo can manage a long distance realtionship, I think you shuold seriously think twice before you talk to him about being together. Good Luck! I'm here for followup.

Ok, so I have always hated my highschool, and thought that everyone in it was a shallow dimwit! But I recently got advice to try to get to now some people, mingle & be social, and maybe IƤll start liking it more. Right, so I did. I started talking to these two guys, who are best friends, pretty popular and pretty much WANTED by every girl in school, but I just wanted to be friends, right..so I started talking to these guys for the first time yesterday, and it was just for 15 minutes, helping them study, but I felt an immediate attraction to both of them, one of them is outgoing, loud, charming..and oh so popular, and the other one is also pretty popular (because he's hott) but really shy, quite, and looks pretty insecure. Now, the thingh is the're both BEST FRIENDS, and I would never start flirting with two bff that could end up terrible! But I know I'm gonna start liking these guys, so I would like to decide WHICH ONE to like, and just go for him, flirt with him, instead of with both of them, because what if they both end up liking me..that could be terrible!! So how do you decide which one to like? And also, what would be hard is that they both like different type of girls, so its better to just focus on one of the guys..15/f thank you!

Guys are very tricky to deal with. Luckily, they don't get as worked up over girls as we think they do. Get to know these two boys, and if you think that one or the other could make a good boyfriend, then GO for it! You will be surprised that the other guy will more than likely not be offended by it. Girl you're only fifteen so live it up! If these two guys don't seem to be the ones for you, find someone else! Good luck to you

I am 15 nad I really like this guy named andrew. well he talks to me every day but only for a minute but everytime we see each other in the hallways he waves at me. He has a girlfriend, but I lkie him a lot. does he like me????? what should I do???
please help.

Most guys are very flirty. Even when they are in a relationship, sometimes they need to fufill their satisfaction by checking out other girls. (It's the testosterone, hunny.) I say that unless this guy confronts YOU about him having feelings, leave it be. You don't want to start drama with the girl, or break someone up.

Okay, so last Friday, this guy I liked, who is also one of my good friends, totally scarred my heart by asking my other really good friend out when he knew I liked him. Most of my friends told me to not jump into any relationships just to get over him and I know they are right. I've seen the effects of a reboudn relationship.

Anywayz, today this guy who I used to like and even went out with for like a few months (not a super long relationship, but not too short for middle school) was totally flirting with me and making it wicked noticeable. I had like so many people come up to me and tell me. Well, the truth is, I thik my feelings for him might be coming back.

Am I just rushing into things? Should I act on my feelings? Talk to him about it?

Wow. The first guy sounds like a complete loser. Coming from experience, and yes this has happened to me as well, the second guy sounds like the one to go for. For one, if you spend too much time dwelling on the first, how are you supposed to meet and be happy with any other guys? And two, if there is this really great guy going after you, who makes you laugh and smile, what are you waiting for? There is no rebound in your situation! Girl you are full on crushing on him. If you are deciding to be in a relationship, make sure you are interested in the kind of boyfriend he will be for you. If he doesn't seem to be what you want, wait for the next guy and keep him as a flirty friend. It's all about you here! Don't let your life revolve around any guy. Good luck!

My friend went on the Depo shot sometime around the middle of March and lost her virginity (unprotected) maybe a couple weeks after that. Thing is, she hasn't started her period yet. It's now nearly 7 weeks later and she's scared. The only time she's bled on the shot is after having sex. She has only had PROTECTED sex once of twice but has had unprotected sex many times. She says she's not going to worry about it but I can tell she is and I don't know what to tell her. Is it normal for her not to spot or start her period or is this something she should see her doctor about or take a test for? Please help, I rate high! Thank you.

Yes. It is better to be safe than sorry.
