for a teenage girl who wants to lose weight...
Would you consider it "dangerous" to consume 500 calories per day and do an hour or more of cardiovascular exercise plus crunches/push-ups/leg lifts/jumping jacks ever day?

extremely. jews in concentration camps got 800 per day. 500 per day and lying around doing nothing is unhealthy.
basically if you are active, 2000 per day would still make you lose weight. you can speed up a little with 1800, but definitely don't go below 1500. and make sure you get all proper nutrients

Yes!!! You are almost certainly burning more than you take in. Your body needs at least 1000 calories for normal function, and more if you are exercising. You should be eating three times that amount.

it's very dangerous. the other columnists have outlined it for you very well, but normal people get around 2000 calories a day. it's especially dangerous because you are a teenager and still developing. it could really screw up your body... not just for a few years, but for your whole life. exercise is good, but balance it out with your food intake.

Absolutely. That's a starvation diet. Not only does it make exercise dangerous, but it will also lead to your body eating its own muscle to survive.
Eat properly, at least 1200 calories, preferably more, and you'll feel better, look better, and lose just as much weight if not more. Not only that, but you'll be healthy.

yes, you should consume at least 1500-2500 calories per day.
