advice

My legs are slim, Its just ma stomach stickes out any way i could slim it down and tone it?

I know you might not want to do this and your question is really old but SWIMMING is really good! It tones you and give syou tons of muscle!!! Also cutting cals helps your weight. Legs are hereditary so if they r thin it doesnt mean the rest of you is, but thtas npot ur case, you just need to do some sit ups or swim!

what does it mean to be anemic? my friend used to be and she thinks i am now...i don't eat red meat and i always get these really big bruises, that don't really hurt, but i don't know how i get them? and they don't go away for a week or 2. does anyone know what's going on?

hey ilooked it up in an encyclopedia:

it said"Anemia is a lower than normal number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the blood, usually measured by a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment in red blood cells that transports oxygen."

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000560.htm#Definition - thats the website if u need anything else and it shows what it looks like to have it!

Hope I could help!

can anyone buy hydroxycut? if you have any stories to share about people you know who used it please share. i am a 17/f who is 200 lbs. i reeeally want to try this.

I havent tried it but 200 pounds isnt that much if ur like 6'4 or sumthin. Anyway it doesnt work. I kno wbecause once you stop suing it u gian it all back..I recommend swimming and cutting carbs.

What are some really good love books? For young girls. That make you say like "awww!! how cute!" and it just makes you read them over and over. :) Any book will do though. Thank you . :)

The Clique, Prep, Gossip Girls, and the A-list are the BEST books eva!

It's a fairly simple question (I think) but I need some help! You could say I'm a pretty preppy girl... not like (omg I'm really flippin annoying and too perky and I'm stuck-up!) not that kind of preppy. But, I wear polos, jeans, cute shirts from like... american eagle, aeropostale, abercrombie and fitch etc., sweatpants all that stuff that's so called, "preppy". I also like chucks... converse, whatever you would like to call them! But... some people say that converse don't really go with the whole preppy look.

What do you think? Would it be okay if I got them?

Thanks always, Christine

Converses are rocker shoes...well a lot of rocks and goths wear them and honestly I don't think it goes with the look, but you donjt have to have a look you can wear all different types of things.

heyy there everyone. i want to make my thighs slimmer. i have a really tiny body but my thighs are massive...like no joke! and it looks really stupidd. i would also like to loose a little bit in my stomach...like mostly around my abs. i work out every night and drink 3-4 water bottles per day but i dont really see a result. is there anything i could do to make my thighs slimmer and abs tighterr? also how long should it take?

kthanks...i will rate 5's!

The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to excercize and cut calories...a teen ager cna eat up to 1800 calories and still lose weight. (I got that from a diet book so its true). Also, it varies how lang it takes someone who needs to lose less it will take longer. I dont have an exact time months porbably. I recommend swimming for your abs. It REALLY helps keep your weight off and it gives you TONS of muscle. Hope I could help!

I'm going to be 17 soon..and I've never had a boyfriend..I've never been kissed...This is really embaressing for me to write..All my friends have had boyfriends..even the not-so-pretty ones..I'm sad..at dances, no one dances with me..I feel so sad because everyone has one now...What should I do?? I'm afraid one day someone is going to confront me about my prude-ness...gossshh this is so sad for a 17 year old..help :(

Don't feel bad. You could get one if you wanted, I'm sure. All it means is that you aren't being slutty and going after any guy that will take you, you are waiting untill you love the guy whihc is BEST! There is nothng wrong with you...Guys may like you but be too shy to ask you to dance or maybe they are waiting for you to show interest guys get like that. Theres this guy that I think likes me and I love him but I always say that I dont whenever I talk to him cuz he says that he wants to aks soimeone else out b ut he relaly doesnt. He has to wait untill I like him before he goes for it. Guys dont wanna get turned down they wait untill you like them too. SHow some interest. Also, In the end you will end up on top because guys won't be afraid of getting hert with you. Girls who go out with like 4 guys a week are less likely to get a nice hott, shy guy because they will be afraid of getting hurt. Its not just you..they save the best for last when something could ACTUALLY happen not those stupid 7th grade relationships where nothing real will ever happen so whats the point. They don't wanna blow it on you before they actaully can have some fun with you. I think that guys take the most vulnerable girls first because of fear of getting turned down as I said. and come on millions of women wait and they are the ones happily married with wonderful children and a PERFECT husband! Flirt a little but act confident, but not stuck up you know! You'll get one soon! Wait your turn and You'll end up on top! Hope I could help

I'm in this advanced choir. There's this new girl who just joined. She's 13, like me, only she's a grade ahead of me (I'm a 7th grader). I have to admit, she's pretty good. Everyone knows that she's got this beautiful high voice, a little like Sarah Brightman's. She's a bitch! She's always flaunting her voice. During camp, we all had to watch this documentary on opera, and she goes "I bet I could sing opera..." Jesus! She's only 13, right?!!!! She had to share a bunk with me. She's was a disgusting bunk mate. She was always spilling her milk all over my papers, bringing food into the dorm, not eating it, and soon there would be moldy peaches everywhere. She can NEVER stop talking about herself. It's always me, me, me, me, me, my voice, my hair, and my boyfriend. Once she was talking about herself and says "my friend and I were watching the Phantom of the Opera and I could sing that really high note at the end of the song 'The Phantom of the Opera.' " She sings the note and asks "Can you sing it?" So I tried, and of course I couldn't, because I'm not even a soprano, and she goes "ha-ha! i can sing the high E and you're all strained up. That's hilarious..." and goes off into another monologue about herself. Now I have to sit on the risers right next to her, and she's getting worse. She's also a brownnoser. She's always sucking up to our choir teacher, and so on...what can I do to put up with her? I don't want anyone to say "talk to her about it." It's not like she's my friend or anything.

one simple answer IGNORE her, I know its not a great answer but what else can you do? Its her personality! People who are full of themselves are usually fakes or have something that they are hiding. She probably just a sad person trying to make you sound inferior when really she is. Ignore her and spend as little time with her as you can! Sorry..it wasnt the best, but its all I could think of! I hope it helps!!! I try even if its not the best lol ok sorry!

I have a question about this guy that isnt my boyfriend, he is just a friend of mine. Well I was talking to him one day about my grandmother and how she was coming down from her city which is about a 6 hour drive away to see my appartment for the first time. While anyways, after telling him this he said quote " and how is grandma doing"? I thought this was strange since he isnt even my boyfriend to refer to her as "grandma" instead of "your grandma". I mean by the way he said it it sounded like he already thinks of my grandma as his grandma too! Does anyone else find what he said strange? I would never refer to his mom or grandma like that!!

No offense but sometimes when people say that they are making fun of you! As in ooo ur such a grandmas girl or something. This might not be true it depends on the tone of hi svoice. If he likes you he was probably just trying to shorten his words you know guys. I doubt that he was thinking that she would be his grandmother soon. It depends how old he is. It could be what you think, but I highly doubt it. Hope I could help

i'm a really dark brunette.
and i've been considering going blonde

yes or no?

and if i did get it done,
they'd be able to dye my eyebrows too right?

oh and is it true that if you have dark hair
you're eyebrows shld be atleast one shade lighter than you're hair color?

thanks, i rate.

It really depends on your feature because some people look better brunette and some look better blonde. I can't tell you what to do because I have never seen your hair, but I think if you think that blonde will look good and so do others then go for it! You can always die it dark brown again, but if you every want to go back to your natural it will TAKE FOREVER to go back unless you die it. Yes, I think it is true that your eye brows are a shade lighter than your hair. and YES I believe they can die your eyebrows, but I have never tried so I may be wrong. Ask your hair person just to make sure! Hope I could help!

Much Love~Mackie

My bestfriend and her boyfriend have been together for about 4 months now. Problem is: he says he likes me! And I'm kind of into him too! I don't know what to do, thats like my bestfriend. I sure don't want to ruin our friendship but oh my goodness I am really into this boy!

I know the guy may seem more important, but unless its okay with her your friends exs or boyfriends are OFFLIMITS (unless you get their approval) tell her what he said its not your fault explain what he said and let her down easily she will want you to comfort her! be nice and understanding!

On the lower part of the left side of my back I have this hard lump. It almost feels like a bug bite whenever I poke it, but it's just really hard. It's shaped almost like an egg. I have no idea what this is, does anyone else know??

hey I know your questions was from a while ago but my dad had something like that on his arm. It could be just a lump filled with puss or it may be a bump from hitting yourself. It might go away over time my dads did. I can't be sure because unfortunately I am not a doctor aqnd I have not seen the bump, but as someone else said before it is NOT scoliosis dont worry she was wrong because I KNOW what scoliosis is I got x-rays for it! To be sure see a doctor or tell your parents! hope it helps much luv

Hey omg I used to have pimples on mya face..it wa ssoo gross. I use this clenser every night and in just a few weeks they were gone and if you use it everynight they stay gone. its called neutrogena clenser they sell it at the cvs with NO prescripton. You cant get rid of them over night, but my stuff works VERY Well it takes a few weeks to get them completely gone but in just a week or less they are faded and small. It may take less I dont knwo the exact amount of time, but after that they keep your skin BEAUTIFUL!!! Also dont worry people LOVE you for YOU not because of the way you look! much love

18/f. I have a very close guy-friend. Occasionally when he comes over to mine (or I go to his), and he (or I) can't get home (e.g. he comes to my place on his bike, I don't like him to ride home at 3am, it's not too safe around here) then he stays over. He'll sleep in my (single) bed, and we usually end up snuggled up to close each other (e.g. both lying on our sides facing the same way with his arm around me).
My question is - is this ok for our relationship? - I don't want to date him, I don't want our friendship to turn into something further. We are both single. Is it ok to sleep together like this, or will it damage our friendship in the long run?

Personally, I think its fine! Just make sure he knows that you only want to be friends. If he really liked you in that way he woul djust ask you out. If guys like you they wont be afraid to ask you out and he hasnt so I dont think there is anything to worfry about. I would just make sure that there are clothes on both of you and you dont end up on top of eachother. It isnt wrong to have a sleepover with someone of the opposite sex and not want sex. I think its coool that you dont make him walk home at 3. Its fine and it wont make ur relationship any different. If anything you will just become stronger friends, but nothing more!

14/f........one of my new friends named kate switches the guys that she likes pretty often. the thing about her is that she likes a guy until she knows that they like her..kinda weird i kno but anyways.....she started liking this one guy named phil...later he liked her and she was over him. then she liked some guy named john...she got over him b/c of a new guy..miles...at this point she still likes miles but here's the thing...i like phil..i mean i dont really know him but i kinda like him. i kno that if i start talking to him and stuff that kate will SERCRETLY be a little defensive...i'm just worried that if i make a move she'll find out and get mad at me either for making a move, not telling her, or w/e..anybody have any ideas about this situation??

Elle, if she is really your friend she will understand. Its hard to control who you like you just like them...been there. Don't be mean when you tell her just be shy and say well I think I kind of like Phil, but I don't wanna go out with him if it make u feel bad. See what she says. If she says no then seriously think about why you were friends with her. No guy is worth breaking a friendship up though. She will probably say i dont care if you go out with him thats what my friend said to me! dont worry:)
