I'm a thirteen year old female. Recently Iv'e started eating super healthy. When I'm at home eating the food there, or eating foods with nutrition information I'm fine, but whenever I eat at someone else's house or eat out and the food served looks fattening or sugary I panic. I don't know whats in it and so on. Sometimes I make up excuses for not eating things. My friends jokingly said I was anorexic before. That didn't bother me. However, now they have started to say it seriously and my own mum said I was eating in an anorexic way. I know people suffering from anorexia have poor self image, but I think I am at a perfect weight. Please tell me if I am anorexic or not. Honestly. (link)

Plain and simple... if you are eating, then you aren't anorexic.

Hey. I'm a cashier at a store thats like Linens and Things. Its my first job (i'm sixteen) and I've realized that its not the kind of job I want. I don't like the fact that its a big place and its busy allll the time. I enjoy interacting with my co workers. At my place, I feel like I can't do that. We're all busy helping out the customers, which is good... but I feel like I don't know the people I work with well. What are some good places to work at, where you're working...but you still have opportunities to get to know your co-workers? Preferably not a fast food restaraunt, a grocery store, or big places. I want something small and fun. I was thinking about working at a tanning salon?? Does anyone have any good ideas? (link)
| |
OK well many of my ideas were already taken but I would suggest thinking of a small store that you like because employees usually get discounts, right? So personally, I would look into Claires because then you can get discounts on their stuff.

Emo is "EMO"tional music like when you express yourself through the music.

im 14 with a 2 year old 1/2 sister. i love her to death but sometimes i get fed up. i only see her every other weekend but if im trying to do my homework shes always trying to play with me. I feel bad to leave her, and i always feel im obligated to stay. my dad and stepmom dont really help no matter how much i stress i need to do my home work (link)
| |
OK... well I don't know what the question was but that okay. Since she only comes over every other weekend and shes little I am sure she is wicked excited to see you and wants to spend tiem with you. All I can think of right now is to talk to your parents and get as much homework done as you can before she comes over.

ok there's this new kid in my skool , nd he's in everyone of my classes, nd he chose to sit next to me in every one of them. but the thing is i lik him , and he's alwayz flirtin wit me , nd i flirt bak. but when he came here , me nd my b/f juss started goin out,nd som1 tld me tht he liked me bak. and everyone says tht we would mak a good couple. but the other day my best friend saw my b/f kiss his ex-gf , nd he said he didnt,so wut should i do? Should i break up wit my b/f , nd go out wit the new kid? or Should i give my b/f another chance, nd juss be friends wit the new kid? nd im 13/f
Signed really confused (link)
| |
Follow your heart. It seems like your boyfriend is rude to kiss his ex-girlfriend. Best friends don't lie if they are truely best friends so obviously he has no resepct for you. If you liek the other boy then break up with your boyfriend. I don't thin kyou can truely be in love and like someone else at the same time.

for some odd reason.. i start to cry when i see people helping me, answering me questions. i dont even cry in the saddest movies.. or if a friend does something that hurts me. maybe its because seeing people who care who i dont even know are helping me more than any of my friends or anyone i know would. any more thoughts? (link)
| |
Yea I know it is kind of weird asking complete strangers some of your deepest questions and the fact that a lot of people on here actually answer them and think about it and CARE... well that is really special. This website is liek a community I think it is a great place for peopel to come together and help people. It isn't always easy to ask yuor friends for help becuase they don't take it seriously or they tell someone else behidn your back. These people don't judge you though... I just want to say Thanks guys! It means a lot and I have gotten tons of help on this site!

for excersise I am walking every other day the other days doing taebo. I do curl ups squats and the ab lounger everyday. I eat oatmeal for breakfast and a smart choice meal for lunch and dinner how much could I possibly loose in 2 in a half months and what could I do to speed it up? I am overweight and I really wanna do this....plus theres a guy :) (link)
| |
Hey wow you seem really determined that's awesome! I am impressed! I heard you should only lose up to 3 pounds a week healthily even though the other person said 2 pounds.. I am not positive you could look that up... In 2 and a half months I have seen people lose up to 30 pounds! It all ranges on people's body type, and workout plan and dedication. However, you wil be in great shape I would think if you did this for 2 months. Good luck!

Ok so at school there is this really hot/nice guy. We talked to eachother before but not alot. He has a girlfriend but he has told a few people that he likes me too. He also says that hes going to stay with his girlfriend. But one day at PE he came sat by me there was no room by me so he asked my friend to move over so he could sit by me. I kinda do and kinda dont want them to break up. i just hate it because i cant ever get a boyfriend. I really like this guy what should i do??? (link)
| |
He kind of sounds like a player honestly... but yea I knwo it would be mean to break them up but if he really likes you and you like him you can't stop it. It wouldn't be fair anyways for him to keep going out with the girl he he liked you.

im 14 years old(male) and i keep cutting myself. I've tried to stop but i keep doing it. I ve talked with my friends to see if they could help me out and one of them started to cut too! i really dont know what to do please help me out. (link)
| |
Gte phsycological help ASAP!!! This could very very easily lead to death... or a worse habit. Obviously it is out of your reach and you need other to help you. If you feel uncomfortable going to your parents/guardians then go to the school guidance conselor. You said you have tried to stop and that's good that you want to but now you have to have other peple help you.

do you think it's better if a 17 year old dates a 25 old?! or do you think it's better for me wait until i'm 27 and he's 35?! (link)

As long as they don't have sex, becyase it's illegal then I don't think it matter which age! If you really like someone go for it.

i am deeply in love with a girl, im 13m and shes 13f, but the thing is i will never be able to go out with her or even get to see her that much. this is all because i moved away, and when i say moved i mean like far far away. after knowing her for a year and loving her for about half of that time, i can just never get her outta my head or stop thinkin about her. she knows how i feel about her but i only get small chances to evre see her agian. but i personally think shes the one... i have no clue wat to do... and i wont give her up... (link)

If you really love someone distance won't matter. Dp you have her number/address/screen name? if you don't, no offense, but your kind of screwed. If you don't try to get it from one of your friends that you are still in contact with. If you do then call her up or IM her!!! Let her know how you feel. It'll be hundreds of times easier since you won't be face to face and you live so far away.

I can do sprints, I'm fast at that, but I dread the mile because it's hard for me. does anyone know how to get in shape for long distance running? (link)
| |
Start off going small distances. It is going to take a lot of effort and dedication but if you go a 1/4 mile one day for a few weeks then slowly raise it until half a mile and keep going like that you will build up your endurance and be able the mile with no problem.

um this sounds kind of dumb... but are big heads a turn-off or like a bad quality that would turn a guy away from a girl... my heads pretty big and i hate it but theres nothing i can do.. its a big deal to me but is it a big deal to other people.. what do you think, any advice? (link)
| |
Just some advice... people might take it the wrong way, what kind of 'head' are you talking about? If it;s the one above you neck, lol, then I don't think anyone would care they shouldn't anyways. Unless it is like HUGE that might scare some people. Maybe you could joke around and says it's because you have a huge brain.

ok...im 13/f 7th grade... this might sound crazy... but i no i am in love!! i have a boyfriend and i am completely in love with him!! ive never felt this way about any of my other boyfriends and i know he feels the same about me... he makes me smile just thinking about him... i melt when i see him! theres only one thing... this is wierd... but since we're young and all... is there any chance this could last forever (link)
| |
Hey! I am really happy for you and don't let anyone tell you you aren't in love becuase I believe you can fall in love at any age and ONLY you can tell if you are really truely in love. If he feels the same way and their is a connection it could last forever. I am not going to lie though it might not it just depends.

I have music playing out of my PC and I have NO IDEA where it's coming from!! I'm not sure when it started because I left the PC while it was starting up. There's nothing on the toolbar, desktop or when I press ctrl alt + delete that suggests music - there's nothing that isn't normally there. It's almost like a radio station. I've checked my CD drive, media player and there are no pop ups or anything this music could be coming from. Does anyone have any idea what it is or how I could stop it?
Thanks loads!! (link)
| |
Hey, someone could have music on their site or on AIM so just turn off you volume =) If that doesn't work then restart your computer.

Ok, well lately, many of my friends have been smoking weed. I tell them that it's stupid and that it can harm your health, and stuff such as that, but they keep telling me that weed doesn't harm your body in any way what-so-ever. If anyone knows, can you please tell me what side-effects you may get from smoking weed? (I'm a 14/f, if that's important, which I don't think it is.) (link)
|
I have a history so I can help you... oh and I want to say your a really good friends for trying to stop your friends from smoking weed. I admire that.
There are short and long term effects...
1. Risk of Bad Marijuana - Marijuana could be laced without your knowledge with anything making it even more dangerous. If it is mixed with other drugs or poisons, it can do physical damage to your body (sometimes deadly).
2. Decreased Mental Abilities - You may put yourself in situations where you practice unsafe sex, which can lead to a sexually transmitted disease. You may also get behind the wheel of a car to drive, leading to a deadly accident.
3. Difficulty with Concentration & Mental Confusion – Marijuana may cause you to forget easily, and have difficulty studying and learning.
4. Bloodshot Eyes - It just doesn't look good!
5. Excessive hunger - You may eat unhealthy food that you are craving due to marijuana use. This can lead to weight gain.
6. Sleepiness - Your weekend's no fun if you sleep through it.
Long term effects are:
1. Psychological Dependence - You may start feeling like you need the drug to get by in your daily living, which is not good for you and very expensive.
2. Increased Tolerance - Your body may require more and more marijuana to get the desired effect.
3. Sexual Issues - Marijuana affects your hormone levels causing a lack of sexual pleasure, decreased sperm count in males and infertility in females.

Well I take that back because you might live in Florida or somehting but I live in New England and it is deifntely warmer there. Sorry, but that's really all you need to do is google information.

Everytime I fight with someone I start shaking, is this normal? (link)
| |
I've heard of people doing some really weird things when they are mad. So personally, I do not think you are weird. It may not be common, but I would say it's normal. It might scare some people though.

my best guy friend and i tried to start a bf and gf relationship but we feel uncomfortable being that. we just wanna be really close friends. i was wondering should i ask him to the prom and just say we can go as friends?! and when should i ask him?! (link)
| |
Go for it! As long as you both know you guys aren't going as like a couple that might make him uncomfotable. Make sure you tell him it's only as friends! I would ask him as soon as you can before anyone else asks him. Then you'll regret for like everrr not asking him sooner

when i get older im thinking about like adopting 2 kids and having 2 kids, does anyone have any ideas on why this would be a bad idea? i want to adopt because i dont want all my kids to have the same traits as me, but then i wanna have 2 of my own because having a baby that came from you is..good, right? do you think i would favor the kids i created over the ones a adopted?? suggestions, please??! thank you~~~!!!!!! (link)
| |
Wow I just want to say that is really inspirational and a great idea. I understand how you want to have your own kids I do too. That is really cool and I think it'd be a great idea! I have seen it work out before. My neighbor had a boy then adopted a boy then had a girl. She loved them all the same. Althoguh she was worried becuase the boy she adopted didn't look like the other 2 and might feel left out when he grows up. However, the fact that you want to adopt 2 and have 2 is great becuase then they have some one to relate to. Good luck!
