My dad says that I'm too skinny and need to put on about 10 pounds. I'm 5"1.5, and I'm 86 pounds.

I'm almost literally skin and bone. If I put on weight, where would the weight go? Is there any way to control where it goes, so it doesn't all go to my belly or my thighs?

Now you do not weigh very much, but you are also not very tall. While you do need to gain weight, be carefull to make sure that you don't gain more then 20lbs, because with your hight it is easy to be over weight.

When i was in junior high (im a hs senior now) i would get random chest pains on my left side of my chest. I didnt think that it was possible (is it?) to have 'heart attacks' or anything similar when you were around 14 years old so i never really had it checked. I guess im just wondering if it's something like a heart attack or something different? Because i get it randomly, sometimes while im walking around or walking up the stairs or just suddenly sometimes.

Now if you were getting heart attacks that often you'd be dead, but it could be a bunch of different medical problems. The best sugestion I have is to go to a doctor and have them check it out.

I'm 13 years old and i still dont wear a bra. In the locker rooms during PE everyone does, and i dont. My older sis only started wearing one when she was 15! I want to wear one, but i'm scared to ask my mom. what should i do?

Just ask her! They have training bra's so you are wearing one, but they aren't as big as regular bras. And you also have to remember that everyone matures differently. Not wearing a bra is no big deal if you don't need one, but if you really want one just sit don't and talk to your mom.

Hi, my name is dannielle, and im a little shy and very sensitive. I just started college in august and i have been felling very lonely, the campus is big and i am always walking usually alone, but every now and then i find one of my highschool friends to hang with, but rarely. I jus feel like no one likes me, and i feel so alone there, i don't know why. Im always caring what others think about me and i hate that i jus want to be myself but im scared to cuz poeople might not like me, so i where clothes that im sure others will not criticize me for, im just so tired of being so paraoid, and feeling so down on myself. can u help me, anything would help!! thanks :)

First I'm going to say that I know how you feel, I felt the same why when I moved to a high school of 1,000 kids from a small farming town. Now that I'm in college, I'm past all that and you'll get past it too. The one thing you have to remember is that if someone doesn't like you, then it is there loss. Lately, I've just been talking to random people at my college, and most of them are nicer then nice. Anouther good way to make friends is to set up some study groups.. then you are learning and hanging out at the same time! I hope I helped. Good luck.

I broke up with my bf of nearly 4 years about 3 months ago. He was emotionally and mentally abusive to me. I had been in councelling for a while and I thought I had nearly got over him. Well yesterday I decided to sign up for a dating site. I actually received about 4 responses to my profile. Instead of contacting these guys that wrote me; I got freaked out and deleted my profile. Does anyone know what is wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you! You just are not ready for that much attention yet, give it time. After you've been in a horrible relationship.. its hard to get in a healthy one. But you will do it, when your mind is ready. Just give it time.

can have your period and masterbate too, but wearing a pad not a tampon. thanks

I wouldn't sugest it. I imagine it would be really nasty, but I don't think any harm would come from your body from doing it

hi im 14 and about 5 foot 10, i weigh about 165 pounds...do i need to loose weight or am i oaky the way i am?

p.s i can take constructive critisism

You are a little overweight for your age, but as far as your height you don't need to loose much. Maybe 10lbs. I know its hard to be tall at your age, because the guys are just starting to grow! I also know that todays media pushes us to be thin, but honestly, if you were say 18.. 165 wouldn't be that bad at all. I don't think you should go down to 140 because one, its not needed, two you'd probably look funny that thin. Like for example I am 5'6 .. 18yrs old and I should weigh 150lbs. Now I don't, but I should and I'm loosing weight, but I'd never got below 150. This is a long answer, sorry, hope it helps.

i like this girl but she one of my best friends and she only want to be my friend and nothing else what shall i do

Let me ask you this first.. Have you told her exactly how you feel? If not, then you should.. there is a chance that she may feel the same way. Now if you guys have talked about it and you know 100% she has no interest in you, then I'd say you better move on. You guys can stay friends, but find another girl that is dating material.

Is facial hair on a 15/m attractive or is it showing that your a some kind of beast

Well, when I was 15 I thought it was corny for guys my age to have facial hair because it was kinda weird looking, but once you hit 18 or 19 it looks ok.

what does it mean when a guy says to you when you gonna pound? or a girl says your just trying to pound him. if you could let me know i would appreciate it. thanks.

Since you are asking this, I'm assuming you are too young for it anyway! But yes, it is a sexual reference.

i know this is kind of gross but i used a banana to try and pop my cherry to get the pain over with. but i havent got my period yet. will this hurt my body? will i get my period?

The bannana has nothing to do with you not getting your period. It could cause some weird infection, and in the future you should refrian from molesting produce, but you're period is late for anouther reason. Stress and wait loss can cause late periods.

i have a boyfriend that really does'nt treat me right he makes fun of me with his friends hardly ever spend time with me so i dumped him. but i miss him so much i feel soo empty inside. should i get back togther with him even after all he has done to me? but how bout he has moved on should i tell him i still like him?
-help me thank you

Dont' give him the joy of knowing that you still need him. He wants to hear you say that you need him to be complete, but that is a lie. You do not need anyone, you have to feel complete with just yourself. Have you ever heard someone say that you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else? Well its true! The relationship you were in also sounded like it could get dangerious in the future, so please stay away!

hi, i was just wandering how much a small animal would cost? i live in the uk, and there are only 2 shops that sell live stock. one only sells birds and the other sells fish, small animals, and birds. the first is really crappy and in poor condition. the other is really good, and big. i was just wandering how much a small animal like rats, hamsters, gerbils will cost? also, how long can a fish live in a plastic bag for(with water obviousely) thanks. please answer back because i need to know by wednesday. thanks in advance

I sugest a rat. I don't know how much they cost over there, but here they are cheap and not that expensive to take care of. The best part is, belive it or not, having a rat is like having a tiny weird looking dog. They are protective, easily trained, and very loyal.

I just got out of a 5 1/2 year relationship (we were engaged) in July and I'm finding it very hard to deal with.

I left him because after a while, I realized that it was more of a friendship. I love him very much but I guess I'm just not in love with him anymore. I didn't feel that SPARK or that passion.

He was my best friend for so many years and I guess a part of me just wishes I felt the same as him. I know he loves me and is in love with me and it breaks my heart to hurt him this way.

Sometimes, I just feel like running back to him because I want so badly to just take away his pain and make everything better but I know it wouldn't be fair to do that.

I just don't know how to deal with everything. I don't know how to move on and deal with the way I feel.

It's hard to explain. I just feel like a terrible person because I've made him hurt this way. Everyone tells me that I what I've done is for the best. Everyone supports me. I've been told several times that he just wasn't the one for me and it was obvious.

So in a way I know what I've done is the best for ME but it's just so hard to move on.

I don't know if I'm making any sense. If anyone has gone through this, how did you deal with the breakup? How did you get over feeling so horrible about hurting someone you care very much about?

I know this is hard for you and trust me, you make perfect sense. I went through something simular and I want to tell you that once you realize that you had to break it off with him you will be able to move on. You arn't a horrible person, what you did was for the best. You couldn't marry him and be unhappy for the rest of your life. I broke up with my fiancee a month ago, and I still think about him, but I know that what I did was the best for both of us, even if he didn't realize it at the time. I haven't had any contact with him, and I think that is also helping me get over the whole thing.

I used to work at Walmart, until yesterday when I got fired for stealing $50 out of the cash register, to buy a present for my boyfriend for his birthday.

I loved my job more then anything, like it didn't even feel like a job, just because I had so many friends there, and going there was actually fun. I have to pay them back the money & stuff, so I'm not worried about anything happening, because we've already discussed it.

But it's really hard to get over. My parents are so disapointed in me, because my mom told me when I started the job, "Never to steal, you'll ALWAYS get caught." Obviously I didn't listen to her advice, but I just don't know what to say to them anymore, I know it's going to take time. But what can I do to gain their trust back? I get good grades in school, I'm always doing good things for other people, this just happened to be something bad that occured and I got caught.

Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
16/female.

Thanks.

I know that you learned from this experience, which is important. Just talk to your parents, they love you no matter what you do and just want the best for you.

Flight 5191 should not have crashed in Kentucky today. Where was God? And does he not love them?

This doesn't seam like you are really asking for advice since none of us can tell you God's exact opinion on what happened. What I can tell you is that my personal beifs are that God loves us all.

sorry if this is long but i really need advice ok i live with my dad, and i need to get bras, i need/want a cupped bra, but
1. i don't know wat size i am and i dont know how to figure it out.
2. and i dont know which 1 would be right for me
i would like to have 1 regular sports bra, 1 regular cupped bra, and 1 sports bra that is sorta cupped. how many bras do you think i should need? how do i get those bras with my dad?
as much advice as possible plz help me!! thx

I know it can be embarressing, but you can go to any department store and get mesured. Just ask your dad to take you to the store and if you two arn't comfy with going through the process together, ask him to do something he likes, such as look at tools, while you are getting fitted and the sales lady will help you pick the right one.

I enjoy self harm. Friends say, they wouldnt mind if there wasnt a risk o blood poisoning. What are the causes/symptoms of this?

The link someone already gave explains it all, but let me tell you that the risks are much greater then that. You are ruining your body and your mind. Stop while you can! I use to cut and even though I don't do it anymore I think about it every time things get bad.
