Q: HELP!!! I'm 5'3 and about 107 pounds. I feel really fat even thought i play tennis 5 days per week. Is there a way that I can lose around 5 pounds by the time my school starts? (a week from monday). i really want to get toned. i do 100 situps a day but i want to tone my arms. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!! i'll give good ratings to anyone who answers!!
Well, youre at a healthy weight right now. Try eating fruit, not like alot of fruit cups cause the fruit is all dipped in syrup which somewhat ruins the nutrition. take count of your calorie intake and fat grams. less bread and carbs helped me. if you workout alot then you could actually gain weight in muscle, which isnt bad but dont stress over what the scale says. Youre not going to be walking around with a sign that says your weight, people are going to be looking at you, not what the scale says.
less dairie products, try eating frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, if youre a icecream fanatic; its half the calories and less fat.
walking always helps too, working up a sweat. hmm.. popsicles, try looking for sugarfree popsicles, looking at the calories. decrease amount of pastries and fatty foods.

hope i helped, feel free to ask any more questions.

Q: Why are guys so embarassed to admit their virgins in like, highschool?
Some guys are different, but usually because they think theyre more "manly" or "cooler" if theyve "gotten pussy" or whatever.

Q: What does unenthused mean?
enterprising. in other words, marked by imagination, ready for new adventures.

Q: i kinda want sex now but i want to wait till marige. and i want to not be a freakin virgin
should i have sex or wait till marrage?
If you arent totally and completely sure that you want to have sex right now, then you shouldnt. You'll end up regretting it. Nobody can tell you how you feel, and if you should or shouldnt. its based on if youre ready, and completly positive its what you want. Make sure youre close with the person if you do end up going all the way.

Q: What does it mean when somebody says "you're an epic"
it means that you are very impressive, or imposing.

Q: My parents found a dog at the mall. It was at the mall for so long without a home and the man needed someone to take it... So I told my parents to do it and they did. We took it home and we gave it some food because it was very skinny and now it's being really bad. It runs lose all the time and just now it was chasing after a car and we thought we would never see it ever again. I was getting tears in my eyes, even though I didn't like him that much. I'm actually afraid of him. He scares me. I don't like it when dogs jump all over. We're thinking about giving him away... But I don't know. I think someone is going to treat it poorly, but he's really a pain in the butt... so should I give him away? I don't know what to do...
yea just give it away, he'll find a good home. its ok.

Q: i broke up with this boy lastnight thinking it was the right thing but really how i feel is like i`ve made the biggest mistake in my life && all i wish i could do was turn back time .. but now i just dont know what to do or say to my ex` who i wish i was still with right now.. what do you think i should do???

i think that you should stop coming to me for advice when all you do is tell your friend madi that i need to stop getting involved when you are coming to me for advice and telling me to shut up.

well heres my advice :
if he cares for you and truely wants you, he'll take you back. talk to him, at least hang out with him instead of ur girlfriends i mean its bad enough you dont see him at all in school or anything anymore. youre supposed to have someone to love and hold and actually WANT to see them every moment you can. but thats not what youre doing. and you need to tell him how you feel.

Q: 13/f hm.. well theres this guy i like and i know he broke up with his ex like maybe 3 weeks ago.. last year my friend told me he liked me but i didnt say anything.. now i sorta like him but i dont know if he'd like me again bc i wasnt with him before and i dont wanna seem like an idiot telling him i like him and if he doesnt, bc around my school things go around FAST.. we also talk to each other a lot (like once we talked online from 9pm-12am on a school night) and sometimes he like makes fun of me but in kind of i think a flirty way and in school we have stupid movie days where we watch boring stuff n sometimes i catch him lookin at me not in a bad way though.. another thing is when he was with his gf he was telling me how they both piss each other off n he invited me to a chat with the two of them and they were like "oh you piss me off" to each other then out of now where he was like to me "your hott" idk if that means he likes me or anything but yeah.. HELPPPPPPPP!!!
wow.. um. i deff. think that you should let him know how you feel, that its ok if he doesnt like you but you sortof like him but dont wanna feel wierd if he doesnt feel the same way back. and just you know, take chances, everything happens for a reason! and if he doesnt like you back, its alright, there will be other guys, and if he does, then great! i know .. its hard to tell someone you like them but you never know if he feels the same way and if he does then you'll never know. so just talk to him, tell him how you feel and that you like him, and if he doesnt then still be friends. and everything will be cool.

Q: me and my b/f broke up and my friend told me that she wouldnt go out with him then i turn around and BOOM!.... she is dating him
wow, you should talk to her and tell her that you dont really want her to go out with him, and its not worth losing a friendship over. you probably still have feelings for him which makes it worse, so just talk to her and if she doesnt understand or do anything about it .. shes not a true friend.



-Mel.

Q: 14/male. me and this girl were both crushin hard on each other but we never dated it was apparent she liked me more then i did her tho.there was a little bit difference in age so we never saw each other in school. i started thinking about it and i felt mayb we werent as compatable as i thought. we were very different people. i didnt want to leed her on so i told her that i might not have the same feelings for her that i did. she was upset for a while but still likes me. now theres this other girl who i am good friends with. i think i mite be starting to like her now but im not sure. shes hung up on one asshole that has hurt her before. im fighting in my head what to do. am i to picky with to high of expecttions, or should i go with this new girl?

-sorry if there as spelling errors
well .. i think that you should just give it a little time before you go after the new girl, because, if it was me, then i would be crushed ( after knowing i had a chance with a guy who liked me, but then found another girl instead ). but you should give it a little time, be friends with the girl and tell her you only want to be friends, and after a couple weeks, then get to know the new girl and see if you would want her more. because, if she has a guy in her head from a past relationship, there is a high chance the relationship wont work out, because she isnt over the guy yet. and trust me, i know what thats like, not being over a guy, and dating a guy that was totally into me, and then crushing him because i couldnt stop thinking about a past relationship. and if you really want to be with the new girl, then let the first girl understand that the age difference wasnt going to work out, stay friends with her ( you didnt say if you already are ) and just dont change how you act and everything or act all weird if you get a girlfriend, thats the worst thing when a guy all goes and changes. well hope i helped, if you need any more questions or help feel free to ask.

Q: Okay. well, there's this guy that asked me out two days ago. I told him no yesterday because I don't go out with cheaters and emilee went out with him, and I love emilee you know? well my friend, Stephanie told him for me. Well, he said "I don't care" and Stephanie said that he said it in a way that sounded like he DiD care. so after fifth period of yesterday... he goes to imani 'she said no. omg she just has her head up her ass and only likes harry' okay. well that deffinately did not make sense at all and i don't like harry. today... hmm. I was wearing these capris. so at lunch, when I was going to get my DORiTOS
you should deff. tell him to shut the fuck up and leave you alone and get over the fact that youre too good for him and totally not interested in him, like .. right to his face, totally diss him and tell him hes bothering you and needs to stop, immediately. you shouldnt let a guy stress you out. i mean, alot of guys are like that, cause their just immature like that and want it to seem like they dont care, when they actually care, ya know ? yeah. oviously thats what he's doing, he's making fun of you, getting on your nerves, saying all this crap to try to get you to think he doesnt give a shit if you turned him down, he wants to look all tough and strong and shit in front of everyone to hide how he feels, so just confront him, tell him to get over it and leave you alone, or you'll do something serious about it.

Q: I`m totally in love with this boy but im home schooled now so i dont think i would see him as much soo what do you think i should do about this??

- Paige
i think that you should get how the boy thinks about everything and if you guys can see eachother outside of school, [ plus summers coming up ] then it could work, if youre in love with him then you should tell him u still would like to be with him and see if it works out, but you know.. theres other things like him flirting with girls and you dont know it [ in school ] . but thats what friends are there for and if it doesnt work out that way.. then you guys shouldnt date. if depends how you feel and he feels and if it will work out, plus .. boys arent everything, and theres plenty other guys out there if it doesnt work out !

Q: im 13/f and ive been getting really close with this guy in my grade, like friend ship close. and hes been opening up to me and told me he cuts and i cut to. so weve been talking and im really afraid and i want to stop him from cutting but i dont know what to do.. any suggestions??

oo and theres another problem with this guy.. people have been telling me that we should go out because we talk on the phone for hours and we know each other inside and out, but hes hung up on this one girl like really really hung up on her but shes totally wrong for him and we both know that. is there any way i can help him get over her?
um, well. first of all, cutting isnt that good for you. and if you expect him to stop cutting, you should expect yourself to also stop. just tell him the consiquences, and how bad it is, and he'll feel worse if he cuts, -- adults will find out and screw everything up for him, and trust me, i know this. i was a recent cutter and when my mom and adults find out, everything was screwed up, and trust me, they will find out eventually. and you'll deff. regret it. but thats not the point, its not good for you, and can lead you to do other things, you wont want to do.



and, you shouldnt help him get over her if he really likes her, tell him how you feel about him and if he likes you and feels the same way, great! but if he doesnt, im sorry, but you cant change how a person feels about someone if their really into him, and you should never get involved with a relationship or you'll hurt someone.

Q: So okay i guess you could say me and my friend are somewhat pretty except shes skinny and im a little more normal and maybe a little bit bigger but not big i dont think..it seems as though she gets all these guys andim not jelous im happy for her i just dont see why i cant..does it have to do with my weight?i dont think im fat at all but apparently not skinny to the eyes of guys...
so is it the fact im overweight, or mayb ejust not talkative becasue i am a shy person who i guess seems boring..i guess im just depressed cuz i always put myself down
aw, well i dont think you should put yourself down, ever. some guys are weird and they like a girl for a certain reason other than her looks. like .. all the guys at my school go for the real tiny girls, and im not real tiny, and i dont get as many guys, and im talkative and fun too ! so it doesnt mean its my weight, and it doesnt mean your fat. it could possibly be that you are shy, and just dont go in the croud and be loud like some of the girls do, but you shouldnt change for guys .. be yourself, and eventually a guy will come along, it just hasnt been the right time for you. remember, guys arent everything! so dont stress yourself over them, it'll make things worse for you.


-Mel.

Q: lucky guess
haha.

Q: yea u do
ummm...?? j.l.m??

Q: well tell me who u think she likes more...chase or me
well, i dont know who this girl is. and i dont know who you are. so, im sorry, but i cant really help you with this one.

Q: and wut if she likes some guy named chase n not me?
ask her, find out, get how she feels.. if she likes the guy named chase, then she does, if she doesnt, then she doesnt, you cant change how a girl feels.

Q: well she acts like she likes me online but in person she acts like she hates me
maybe shes going through something, and scared to make a move to see how you'll react, if this is the same person, then you said shes younger right? that could be part of it.

Q: how do i know if she likes me
ask her how she feels, and if that's too hard.. then get your friend to ask her, or you'll be able to tell if she flirts with you and stuff like that.
