this upcoming friday i'm going to a private gymnastics lesson, is there anything i should know in advance? i'm learning my backhand spring cause i need it for cheerleading next year.

i can't do a split right now so any advice on getting one quick; like by april? and toe touches?

for the back walkover, any easy ways to walk over? i can do a bridge but i can't quite walk over yet. i don't know why not cause i feel confident lol

:]
any tips for gymnastics or whatever, let me know please! (link)
for the backwalkover dont go to your toes when your in the bridge about to kick over.it stops you and gives you less force to push off with.so feep your feet flat on the ground.

hope i helped:)


Ok well I was in gymnastics when I was 4 and I went till I was 6. Then I basicly taught myself how to do everything like a front handspring, back walkover, etc. The problem is that I want to do a backhand spring. I know I could probably do it Im just too scared to try. I can do a backflip on the trampoline. So how should I start to do one? Like all the steps? Do I need a running start? Can I build it off of a back walk-over? (link)
well i can already do a backhandspring because im in gymnastics.what i did was learn the backhandspring first then the flip but it works the other way around too.all you have to do is be on a trampoline and do what you would do for a backflip except go lower and put yuor hands back.to get you started you can just do backflips and just put your hands back.well , thats about all there is to it you just have to do it a few times even though your scared and sooner or later you should get used to it and you wont be scared anymore.

hope i helped(atleast a little) :)


ok. i run track but i am soooo out of shape.. my friend and i are getting in shape and track tryouts are in less than a month. making it is not the problem.. i no ill make it i was on the teamm last year and my coach always talks to me and my friend about what events we are doing this year. but anyway. i guess u would have to no us to understand but our track coach expects ALOT from us so in gym we have to run a mile and he wants us to do it in under 7 minutes b/c we are in 8 grade and he said track runners in 8 grade should be able to run a mile in under 7 min. well we both have no endurance and are strictly sprinters. anybody have any tips in running a mile?
sorry its so long (link)
well, im a 7th grade track star and i no that this is hard for you.i just got my physical yesterday and did great but tryouts are on monday and the most ive run in past 6 months, at one time, is 2 miles.i ran that in the time it took me to run 3.1 miles the year before.what i would suggest is strecht as much as you possibly can,best if you do it every day up until tryouts, and then run a mile every day and time yourself each time and work towards beating your time for each new day.

there isnt really to much more you can do except hope for the best.hope this helps atleast a pinch:)


I have 2 best friends. One of them has been getting on my last nerve constantly lately. She always thinks she is right, and she is kinda over weight a lot, and she wears tight jeans and low cut shirts, and she's like.. "my boobs are so big, those guys keep looking at them" no they arent that big, its that she's kinda a lot fat. I dont mean to be mean, but she's fat, and very much overweight, and my other friend and I are just sick of her bragging all the time that she thinks guys are checking her out, when really the way she is dressing is drawing attention to her fat... and thats all.

what do i do? (link)
just tell her this in a nice way though.also, try taking her to a health clinic or something so that she relizes she is fat then start working out with her to make her feel better about being oblivious to the jelly rolls that she had for ,like, ever!

hope this helps:)


Ok so i'm gonna start working out and i would like to just start working on my trouble areas so what are some good exercises to do for my stomach my arms and my thighs????? please help (link)
stomach- im a gymast and for my stomach i do hallow body holds which is where you lay on the ground and lift your legs about 3 inches of the ground and round your shoulders and hold your arms out in front of you next to you sides.your head needs to be lifted also.hold that for 30 second intervals with rests of 10 seconds in between each.do about 50 or so of these every day.


How do you START a fight to END a friendship?

I've written many questions about one of my "best friends" on here, and i've come to a conclusion (please don't try to talk me out of it.. i think this is the wisest thing to do) i need our friendship to end, and the only way to end it is by having a HUGE fight.

Only problem is, she would NEVER pick a fight with me, no matter what i do wrong, so she needs to do something wrong that i could "not forgive" her for.. you know? but its not like i can GET HER to do something wrong, is there? and if so, what?

i know it's supid, but seriously.. my question is.. how can i pick a fight with my best friend that could end with me saying "shut up, you annoy the hell out of me..bye" or something along those lines??? (link)
you could get one of your other friends that you know wont tell her what your planning, to say somethings about youn that your other friend doesnt know about you (or make it up)until finally she says she didnt know that and then say some stuff like"how does he/she know that about mew but my bff doesnt?!i guess that you just arent a true friend then!" then you walk away from her and just stop talking to her for about a week or until she is always continuosly trying to talk about it and then yell "i hate you and i hope you die!"or "i hate you and i never want to see your face, now get out of my face about this!"


hope i helped:)

hope this helps:)

Wel in america you lot have size zeros
In uk,england, we dont

So what is a size zero in england - a six or a 13-14 yrs? (link)
it took me a long time to find the answer to this question but i'll do pretty much anything for my fellow help needers

i finally found out that a size 0 in the U.S. is the same as a size 4 in england

hope this helps:)


(freshmen)at school i have no friends it not cuz im weird it is because i just dont fit in anywhere there are many cliques and i dont fit in is because i came from a different school area and because i am in advanced classes i still dont rele no anyone, all my friends from my middle school went to different schools but we r still tight. the thing is i have been very depressed over that all i do is hw i dont participate in school activties because i have no one to enjoy it with and i cant join clubs it is too late and i also feel very different because i am black and go to a prodominant white school i dont no wat to do, my other friends are also dealing wit this problem i feel rejected so the question is how so i become accepted in a world where i feel rejectedand also does this get better as i further my high school education (link)
do not wait it out cause its only going to get worse.wat u gotta do is join as many groups as possible like sports. also, if you hear a conversation that you can contribute to, do it but dont just jump into it,you have to ease your way in so people will know that your ok.also, if you see someone in the hall struggling with their locker or picking up some books that they dropped, hel them.or maybe while your in the library and you see someone reading one of the books you've already read then just sit maybe a chair away from them(so that your not getting too close to them) and tell them how you liked that book or strike up some kind of conversation with them about that book and slowly it might lead up to that person talking about their little brother and then that she will see you at lunch.

this stuff might seem a little scary to do at first , just walkin up to someone and just start talkin, but it works.im possitive.


ohkay so its like this. last year
me and my best friend were in all
of the same classes and we were
together 24/7. this year we dont
have 1 class together and never
see each other so we dont talk.
i really miss her and i talk to
her online but we never have anything
to say and shes like a stranger to me
and its weird knowing we used to be
best friends... i really wanna be her bff
again but shes always busy and can never
hang out so we keep growing farther and farther
apart.i wanna be her friend again
help =/ (link)
its the same way for me and my bff.we also have alot going on and dont always have to much time together. but we devot lunches together and in between classes. also everother weekend we try to do stuff together. also we are doing sports together.
hope these examples of my life will give you some fresh ideas on your bff problem:)


I am really bored.People tell me to get a life.How do I do that.Please tell me how I should get a life,get rid of my boredom,meet new people and make new friends. Any answers are appreciated
(link)
you can get a life by going out more often with your friends(or the ones you do have) and get them to bring along some of their friends that you havnt met yet and just get to know them then do the same thing with their friends and slowly(but surely) yor social life will grow AND youll get more friends in the process(and youll be meeting new people)

hope this works:)


I have straight, long, and layered hair. I have no bangs. Can someone give me ideas on what to do with my hair, like a different style for each day of the week. Thanks! But don't suggest scrunching unless you have good tips because my hair is too straight to be scrunched, it would only stay scrunched for like an hour. (link)
monday-
braided pigtails laid over each shoulder with skinny ribbons tied to each braid

tuesday-
french braid from the very top of your head with like two different ribbons braided in with the french braid

wednesday-
today dont plit your hair down the middle,split it all wacky like and pull your hair back into a tight bun

thursday-
leave your hair down today and take a headband and put it in your hair but take some of the other side of your hair and pull it to the other side of your hair to make it look like bangs.

well there is a start
hope this helps:)


I really want to empress people because i have the personality but my family doesnt have alot of money to buy me new cloths. how can i put an outfit//hairstyle//makeup together to make me look like a million bucks? =] (link)
it is true about the whole inside and not outside thing but im pretty sure you have a great personality.anyway ,my family isnt the richest either so i have to use what i can. i especially like the target tees in the juniors section, especially like the tight fitting ones.and at jc pennies they have these really good fitting jeans for me(14 slim)and just shop around at target and walmart for cheap makeup.as long as you find the right collors and blend the right stuff your makeup will look like its ment just for you.


please only girls answer.
what types of clothes/outfits do girls like on guys?? Im not interested in things like emo style or goth, no offense to those that are, i just dont like the style. any help would be appriciated. ..thanx.. (link)
i really like it when a guy wheres surfer clothes. what i mean is baggy knee length shorts with am. eagle tee's(soft) i especially like the color pine green or blue on a guy and over the shirt an (unbottoned) long sleeved tee with the sleeves rolled up loosely to about an inch before the elbow. with skater shoes like ythe big ones


okay i want to get a new hairstyle cuz mine is pretty plain.
so i have blonde hair and its like 3 inches past my shoulders and its layered.
but i want something not so boring but veryy cute.
is there any suggestions? or pictures?



im 13 years young (link)
well im 13 years YOUNGE, lol, just like you and i have brown hair that comes about 2 inches past my shoulders but its not layered but i want it to be, and i have layered bangs down to my earlobe

anyway, i think you should get your hair cut about an inch or two cut off and get layers and layered side swept bangs that come from way on the other side of your head and (if you are allowed to) get very thin brown highlights, but without the highl it would look just as great.

um, well i found a picture that looks exactly how im telling you to cut your hair but it wont let me past it on here no matter how many times i tried so if you have a email address or a screenname i can let you see it.so tell me your email address and i will send the pic to you.


This is gonna be long. Sorry. =[
Thanks in advance, though.

Mk, I have been BEST friends with this girl, Madison since I was eight. We're in eighth grade now and I seriously can't take her much longer. SHE GETS MAD OVER EVERY SINGLE THING! Anytime I get mad about something, she turns the whole thing around and starts cussing at me. She didn't do it this time but, she invited like eight girls over right in front of my face and didn't even invite me. Obviously, that pissed me off so I just hung out with my other friends the rest of the day cause every time I went over near her she'd start talking about Friday and what she's doing with everyone but me. Whenever I came home from school she IMed me and was like, "are you mad at me?" and then obviously she was talking about me cause some girl who I never even see at school was like, "are you mad at madison?" i just said sort of and then they were like, "oh, well it seemed like it." and then I told them why and Madison got all pissed off at me. She was saying, "I DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE THING WITH YOU! YOU INVITE YOURSELF OVER EVERY SINGLE DAY!" First of all, I know that. She doesn't have to invite people over in front of my face...I don't ever do that to her. Second of all, what the heck? NO I DON'T. She invites me over AND it isn't every day. It's like once a week. The only time I do is cause my dad is abusive and she the only one who I've told -- I only do that about once a month though. Then today I was talking to her about my profile on IM and she's like, "Well, you practically copied mine. I mean all the screen names are bolded and it's in black and white. So thanks?" I wanted to say, "OKAY! WHAT THE CRAP!? Every single person bolds the screen name like that or the name if they have conversations in their profile. Second of all, you copied Jordan's(This other girl who she acts like it's her best friend and then she tells me that she's a bitch. She's not a bitch. At least she doesn't get mad for no reason). Third of all, mine are ALWAYS black and white. I wasn't even trying to copy you. Why are you even making such a big deal about it!? It's a freaking profile." But instead I just said, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to." and she didn't say anything. For about two weeks, anytime I say anything when she's around someone she just glares at me and says something rude or sarcastic back. I've become really good friends with some of the people who she says are her friends, so I don't know if she's just jealous about that or what. Gah, what should I do? If I talk to her about it, she'll freak out. (link)
i would just give her time to cool off then get one of the girls you say she is frinds with and so are you to go and tell her that you talk to them about not knowing why you hate her so much and that all you ever did was try to be her friend.then she will feel sorry that she did that to you and she wont have a reason to yell at you because you should tell your friend to add that she wasnt supposed to tell her but she thought it was very important.hope this works:)

im not sure what age you are so if you wouldnt mind, try asking me this question with your age in it and it would be way easier if you go to my column to co this to me personally so that i dont have to find your question again.


i am an eigth grader who is slightly overwieght. when my friends joke about my weight, it makes me feel sad. i try to joke around about myself to lighten the moment, but they end up laughing harder.

is this what you call true friends? (link)
i wuold say not.this is because if they were the one with the weight problem then they wouldnt like to be the one being laughed at.if this starts to happen just tell them you dont appreciate it and that you would like it if they stop.but if ur makin jokes bout your self then it tells them that its ok with u if they laugh at you.so you should try to stop doing that even though it might help at the moment to make you feel a LITTLE better it does alot more pain in the long run.
