Q: what do i tell my friend. to make her stop. im worried about her. becuase her boyfriend jsut broke up with her . her dad hasnt talked to her in a month . and im really worried. i dont no what to tell her! please help!
Well. If she has bullemia there is really nothing that you can do considering its a disease/disorder. When people are bullemic, as I'm sure you already know, they throw up their food after eating. They go on binge eating spree's, and then throw up afterwords so they dont "eat the calories". After a while of doing it, it becomes voluntary. Meaning, they dont do it intentionally. Their body will be so used to throwing up food that everytime they put something in their mouth and swallow, it will trigger something inside them to throw it back up again. If she just recently started doing this, caution her that it can ruin her digestive system, and her throat. It can deteriorate her throat as if she has cancer, and will make her teeth stained yellow and possibly fall out. The bile and stomach acids in our stomach are in fact ACIDS. They will eat away at things if theyre in contact with them frequently, which is why they need to stay inside our stomach, since the lining protects them from getting out. Just warn her of what can happen and encourage her to talk to someone, or anyone that she can trust with that type of information. If shes in the early stages, she can get better, but if its worse than your mentioning up there, and she throws up automatically without trying then you need to tell a parent or counselor and get her into a hospital for medical treatment because it can get even more serious.

Q: so I just met this guy friday. My friend made me go to the school football game. I have seen this Guy lets just call him Bob around my school and thought he was really hot, and now that I have met him he is hot, nice, and funny. well he is a skater punk and thoose are the guys I like. Im a prep but I dont go for the preppy guys. But once agian we are going to the football game this friday. So now that you have the facts, my question is what do i saw around him to make conversation and hopefully him srart to like me. Im not a shy person its just i dont want to say something stupid like I always do (im known to be ditzy) but this time I really like the person and dont want to mess up
My best advice would be to just be yourself. If your ditzy then be ditzy. If you're really smart t hen be really smart. Just be who you would around anyone else, and if he likes that then hes worth it. If you try to impress him the first day, he'll expect that all the time, and you're bound to slip up sometime, you know? So dont confuse him by being somewhat fake the first time you guys actually talk. Just be real with him, and I'm sure he'll find you to be wonderful =]

Q: Ok, im a 14/f, and i don't think im fat AT ALL, but, i would like to lose a little weight in my stomach area, i have a little fat like in the belly button area(lol sry it sounds weird) but like ok i am a totaly prep and i love wearing the tight shirts, but then again i hate it because i have that bulge and u can see my fat, my friend says im stuped because she thinks its just muscle, but i seriosuly don't think so, but does any one have any good ideas so loose some weight in the tummy area, and i also eat alot when im depressed, and lately ive been eating alot because my boyfriend is being a jerk, so any one have any ideas on what to eat, and how to loose a little weight in the tummy area?
Ahhh. This question is perfect for me to answer haha. My stomach muscles actually kill right about now, because I did maybe 150-200 situps today, and then some DDR. If you want to lose that "fat", then you'll have to tone your stomach. Do some situps. They really work the lower abdomen. Then if you want, crunches are good too. Situps, in my opinion, are the best for that sort of thing. It should tone up, though. I cant tell you how long it will be till you see results, because it varies. but do it when you wake up in the morning because it gets your metabolism going =], and then before bed. Those are the times i do it at =]]

Q:
i have a friend who thinks everyone is fat. the girls she thinks are fat i dont think are fat at all. i think they are beautiful girls. their bodies arent perfect ... but whatever i dont think theres much of a difference between a size 3 and a size 8. i told her some people have more muscle and others are just skinnier. if someone has a pretty flat stomach but has little lovehandles and are liek a size 3 she thinks thats fat. i dont even wanna know what she thinks about me. i have bigger legs but they are mostly muscle. my stomach isnt flat but its definately not fat either. im pretty comfortable with how i look, but it bothers me how shes so negative about everyones bodies. what exactly IS considered fat?
There is no general rule for "fat". What some people find fat, others done. There are people who find larger people gorgeous, fat, attractive, not. Then there are people who find someone whos skin and bones either attractive or "fat" (In the eyes of an anorexic) It all depends on whos perspective it is. personally, I think your friend isnt comfortable with how she looks, and doesnt know how to cope with that, or want it to show. Her way of dealing with it would be making a negative statement towards someone who is bigger than her. (not much, but just a decent ammount) In doing this, she will gain some sort oof self esteem because she knows that when shes feeling down she can think, "well.. so and so is bigger than me.. so i dont have much to worry about". Either that or she has the mind of an anorexic and sees people who are small, to be bigger than they really are. I think you and your friend just have different perceptions of beauty. Shes very critical, whereas you dont care either way. People are people, thats how I think of it as.
