Some people say that diet soda is worse for you then regular soda. is this true????? (link)
Well, you must compare. YOur regular soda has atleast 8-9 tablespoons of sugar in ONE can. Diet soda as fake sugar such as splenda, which contains aspartame and studies have shown that this ingredient is known to "fry" your brain cells. I myself, have cut out pop all together because their are zero health benefits, is empty calories and eats away at your teeth.
hopeee it helped:)


well i weigh 130lbs and im 5'4. im a 13/f, I know this is fat but i was wondering if you know anyways i can lose weight. thanksss a bunch i want to look nice for when i have my pool party at the end of the school year for grad. (link)
Oh my, you are not fat at all. Id say your biggest goal right now is to just get healthy. Eat lots of healthy foods. for example, instead of chips at night, have a fruit smoothie..you can do this my adding som ice, orange juice, strawberries, bananas, rasperries, etc (whatever kind of fruit you like) into a blender, add yogurt and any other things you like. blend until thick. Enjoy:) Also, insetad of white breads, try whole wheats. Just cutting out junk food alone will help alot as well. By starting to work out, even just going for walks, joing a team, etc you will feel and look healthier.
hope it helps. and btw, dont think your fat, thats just putting negative thoughts into your head and is going to ruin your confidence, you are not by any means, fat.

my hair is very boring and lifeless. what is something easy i can do with my hair that doesn't take very long to do?

and what are some good makeup tips? what would be good to do with my makeup? thanks in advance. (link)
maybe try an east "poof"? lots of stars are doing it this days and its very easy to do. just pin up some of your bangs on the top of your head, not flat but, as the name says it, poofy. your hair is a nice colour too..so it should look good. also, you could curl it.. not tight ringlets but loose curls are always nice..
as for your makeup, it looks good...maybe using some colours that bring out theblue in your eyes some more...try maybe some light pinks and for blue eyes and blonde hair, the best colours are browns and lavendars. also maybe some blush, a compact powder and mascara is fine. hope this works.


So there's this girl that i like. It just started out as a casual thing after i met her at a festival. We were seeing each other quite regularly and I thought our relationship was starting to develop. I started to talk to her about things getting more serious and she said there was "another guy". I was really cut up over it but she said that he was goin away to university and that she was going to just get over him and that i would just have to give her some time. I did, and things started going well again, then when I was going to see about furthering our relationship she said she was going out with this other guy. She led me on and i was upset, but i still like her, and now im worried that with him being at university he's going to cheat on her and hurt her but she won't listen to me because she just thinks that i'll be doing it to be petty. I still have feelings for her and I want her to be happy whether thats with me or without, but anyone know how i could talk to her about this? (link)
hello. Tell her you are a guy, and you know how many of them function. if this guy is away at college, where there will be many new girls of all sorts, he wil probably be tempted. If you really really like her, tell her you'll be there for her through thick and then, you just wish she would listen to you right now, because you know how things could turn out with her current boyfriend, and you know how things could turn out between you and her.


I am a 21 woman (living at college) and my neighbor at home is a 15 yr old boy and he got to talking to me about stuff, he calls quite a bit and that's fine, he doesn't really have people to talk to a lot because he's very popular in the high school so he has to maintain an image or whatever, you know how high school is, so he can't really open up to anybody. Anyway he calls me about stuff and I give advice whatever, he treats me like I'm his mom or something (his own mom was never in the picture really) so anyway his dad got re-married last spring and he was fine with the stepmom at first but after a while he started changing and he was calling late at night really upset. Finally he told me why, he said his stepmom's been coming in his room at night and doing stuff with him, I won't be graphic but you can probably figure it out. So I called CPS and they ended up dropping the case, and his dad thinks he was lying, but I know he's not. He's been able to keep his stepmom out of his room and is staying weekends with his aunt and uncle, but it just sucks that he has to go thru this and he's got a lot of trust issues now. Sorry to be so long but you kinda had to know the backstory in order to answer my question, which is how can I help him thru this, what do I say to him? All I've told him so far is that I believe him and I don't think it was his fault. (link)
hello. My opinion in all of this is that maybe you could confront and explain the situation to the father. He may begin to wonder things about why his son is telling you this, but you could explain that he has no one else. Its worse that he doesnt have his mother in the.picture to help him through this, but in the end it will mean a lot to him that you backed him up adn supported him in this. Just keep supporting him, help him with where to go with this and if he wants to confront his father, tellhim if he needs it, youll be with him when he does. Also maybe talk to a councellor or something that could help him with the deeper part of this because you cant make him better, he needs further help from a professional. All the best luck


okay well my best guy friend ever, likes me...and i think i like him and he is going to ask me to homecoming,
but i just dont want things screwing up if something bad goes wrong, like if he asks me out, and we break up and wont be the same again, thats what im afraid of. but all my friends say that having a good friendship first makes the best relationships..
so should i just go and see where it takes me or what?

oh im f/15 (link)
I think you should go for it. If you dont take a chance, you will never know what it could have been and you will be hung up on him. Also if you dont take a risk and go for it, he might get tired of waiting and go to some other girl, which will make you uncomfortable and heartbroken. Be strong and independant and do what your heart tells you.

I know the saying is that people change over time. But this is different. I met this girl last year and we had some things in commen, so we decided to become best friends. Well over the summer something happend and i'm not sure what exactly... Since the first day of school (september 5) ALL she's been talking about is her guy friend ((not her boyfriend)) and her other best friend. Either those 2 people or else Dance. It bugs me soo much! for example- today in school I wanted to show her my school pictures, so I said "hey come to my locker, I want to show you my pictures" so I started heading for my locker and she was behind me.. or WAS. I turned around and she wasnt't there. I looked for her and found her at her other friends locker laughing and talking with her. So I said "did you forget about me????" and she gave me such a weird look and said "noooo..."
What in the world is that supposed to mean??? I mean did she purposly ditch me or what? Another example was She and her other friend were talking and heading out for the buses after school. I usually walk with her, so I just walked right next to them. I wasn't really paying attention until they started laughing... I asked them what was so funny and what are they talking about. Then again she gave me that weird look and said "nothing... whatever" and then left to her bus. AGHH what is wrong with me or her?? I basically have no friends.. I mean I have FRIENDS.. but not any BEST FRIENDS.... All of my other friends are always hanging out with their other friends... at lunch I sit with that girl and she never really includes me in anything. I'm sorry that this is sooo long but I really need advice on what to do about this. I feel like the only people in the world that love me is my family. I feel like the guy I have a crush on doesnt even know I exist. I feel that NOBODY knows I exist only my family. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I ALREADY HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES!!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND HELPING ME. (link)
I have the similar thing going on right now. My friend is angry with me for no reason. all i can say is, talk to her about it, ask her if she realizes she makes u upset and that u arent overreacting. Also, try making other friends, get closer to them as well. Focusing on just one person all the time is a recipe for disaster. ...if talking to her doesnt work..move on .. maybe shes trying to give you signs that shes moved on from your friendship. Thatsdoesnt mean she has any right to do that, and its selfish. but girls especially teenagers, are like that sometimes. hop[e it helps good luck:)
