Has anyone adopted/fostered a troubled teen? Did you have other children? How did it affect the household? Any advice?Has anyone adopted a teen? Any advice?
Oh geez.
I stayed in a foster home as a teen and the family had 2 other children, younger than me. I was very troubled....but ';troubled'; means I was screaming out for someone to care, someone to set boundaries, someone to take an interest in me, and someone to ';parent me.';
When my foster parents set appropriate boundaries, ';taught me'; appropriate behaviors, encouraged me to respect myself and them, and took an interest in me, it all worked out. It took time, but they did not give up.
(Email me if you want some details about ways they parented a troubled teen.)
When you decide to foster children, you are not deciding to have children in your home who are perfect. Most foster kids come from traumatic backgrounds and respond 100% appropriately for what they have experienced. It's not easy, but if you apply appropriate parenting tools, it can be a joy to watch the changes.Has anyone adopted a teen? Any advice?
I can speak of my own experience but a close friend fostered teens some stayed a few weeks some months all of which troubled they have a 15 year old daughter which is Very well grounded although they have had some problems which is to be expected none of which made an impact to they re daughter. before they started to foster they asked her what she thought of it she was for it! they have also had some Very troubled teens one in particular with which they had great success with and became a part of the family even years later so it has its ups and its downs there is support and advice for the fostering agency so you re not on you re own you ll have a Case worker but my advice would be to insure you re children are happy with it and are settled in they re day to day living before you make a Major change good luck I think its a wonder full thing to be able to do giving a troubled child a good Home and a chance x x
Well mine was 10 when he came to live with me, just on the cusp of being a teen. We had a hard time for a while because he was so difficult, but I wouldn't change it for the world. He grew up in time and overcame most of his issues.
In the beginning I had to deal with a lot of drinking and disrespect, and some other things. He never stole from me, but one of his friends did.
Not all teens have major problems, though. Some of them take the other route and try to become the perfect child. It just all depends on the kid himself. Take the time to get to know him/her first.
Well, it wasn't an adoption or a fostering situation, but my VERY troubled teenage stepdaughter came to live with us for a short while last year and it was a nightmare. She consistently broke every rule we set for her (and we weren't expecting much from her; it was rules like ';no smoking'; and ';no drugs';), she flunked most of her classes at school, she lied constantly about EVERYTHING, she stole money from us, she gave her boyfriend chlamydia, she tried to convince my husband that he'd be better off if he left me, she stole money and jewelry from her BF's mother, she got grounded for skipping school and promptly ran off and stayed out all night, only to be brought home by the police the following morning, etc. etc. etc. When she declared that living with us was ';too hard'; and she had decided to move back with her mom, it was the happiest day of my life. A couple of days after she left, I discovered that she had stolen my son's wallet containing $160 (he was nine at the time; do you have any idea how long it takes a kid that age to save up that kind of money?). I understand that she had a really crappy upbringing (she was raised by her crazy mother, who prevented her from having any kind of relationship with her father, my husband), but a crappy upbringing doesn't excuse screwing over the ONLY people who want to help you and give you a chance at a better life, and definitely doesn't excuse stealing from your own little brother. She's not welcome here anymore, and if she does want to come and visit her father at some point, my four kids and I will vacate the premises until she's gone again. And of course I'll take any valuables with me for safekeeping, because she'll steal anything that's not red hot or nailed down.
Sorry to be such a downer, and I'm not saying your situation would turn out ANYTHING like ours, but make sure you're very aware of what you're getting yourself and your family into before you do this. I hope it works out for you.
We foster two teens and with one of the teens we had a child a yr younger. It was not detrimental to her.
If you have younger children in your home I would NOT take in teens.
My husband's mother adopted three teenage boys. It was great. They were happy and healthy and lived a better life than they had before.

Teen girl advice books?
All teen girls out there have any of you read one of those 'Guide to being a teen'; type books out there. ( by Kaz Cooke for example).
If you have, what did you think of them, specifically the language used to try and sound 'cool'.Teen girl advice books?
I'm cynical so I tended to dislike them but kudos to them for trying to help teens. As to your other question, the language was a bit corny in some of them but I do remember one that used humour in a really effective way which got the message across. Wish I could remember the name of it...blush

Teen needs advice! on weight loss?
I work out 30mins a day on the treadmill and i still can't lose a pound. What should I do? My weight is 200 and my height is 5 foot 3 inches. Help MeTeen needs advice! on weight loss?
the first 20-30min of cardio body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat so you should do 45min 4-6 times a week and combine it with light weight training.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)Teen needs advice! on weight loss?
Try not to eat anything startchy (Bread, crackers, noodles, rice, etc.) after lunch time. I did that - cut out startchy carbs after lunch and lost a bit of weight and did not go hungry. :=) Best of luck to you!
Just eat foods sparingly. Still eat the things you like but in proportions .
eat foods with less calories and always watch what you eat. and try maybe excersising for an hour instead.
what you eat is more then 70% of what you look like. you need to start a diet, look up some diets, dont just not eat cuase thats even worse for you.
Try dance dance revolution on workout mode.
It's a very fun way to be active. =]
Work out for more than 30 minutes. You won't start burning fat until you're walking for at least 30 minutes. Try substituting water for your usual drinks. Go for 500 - 1000 calorie cutting a day. Thats 1-2 lbs weekly. Results won't come quickly but they'll come.
start early in the morning then dont eat until an hour and 15 minutes later.. speaking mainly cardio/aerobics.. you should work for 40 minutes to an hour..

What words of advice would you have for a teen who is facing parenthood?
need some help, cant think of any right nowWhat words of advice would you have for a teen who is facing parenthood?
Keep your head high, don't let others get to you, and you can do whatever you want in life if you put your heart and mind to it.What words of advice would you have for a teen who is facing parenthood?
Dont listen to what other people tell you about being too young to be a good mother...prove them wrong
Implore her to put the kid up for adoption. Children have the best chance when they have two parents who were expecting them and are fully prepared to do everything they can to see that the kid is raised in a loving home.
Don't let there
be a next time!!
Good luck (laughs).
As a new mom (no matter what your age) you get a lot of ';hand patting, you're just over reacting';. If you truly feel something is wrong with you or your child and your/child's Dr. won't do anything, go to another Dr.
it's going to be very very hard. most teen who get pregnant and want to keep their babies think it's going to be easy to take cares of a child because they have babysat for years and helped take care of their younger brothers and sisters. however, taking care of your own children is completely different. it's hard enough when you are actually older, stable, and have a husband to help you. let alone when you are doing it underaged and by yourself.
'; How much are those condoms, please miss'; - then it wouldn't have happened !
why did you have sex in the first place?
you shoould be asking about high school classes and prom.
1. Continue with your education. It is the way to a better life for you and your baby.
2. Try to stay with the baby's father. Notice I didn't say marry him-only do that if you were going to anyhow. However, dad has a right to see his child, and he can be a source of financial support. Your child has a right to know his father.
3. Have a life of your own. Try to go out for a few hours a week. Leave the baby with dad, your parents, or a babysitter. It will help you be a better parent.
4. READ TO YOUR CHILD! I cannot stress this enough.
DON'T GIVE WAY TO EVERY ADULT THAT THINKS THEY KNOW MORE THEN A 'STUPID TEENAGER'! Raise your child the way you see best and don't let others pressure into doing things you don't want to do. Age doesn't always make you smarter.
Be responsible for your actions, treat your child like you would like to grow up. Learn from your mistakes and teach others, don't be pushed around by people that think they know more than you.
I would tell a teen the following:
It's going to be hard. You will have to be stronger than most mothers. You will be frowned at by many people because you are young. Some people are just very judgemental. Keep your head high. Always follow your instincts and never let anybody get you down. You are a wonderful person for facing this problem face on, and you will make an excellent mother as long as you love your child and give him/her the best life anybody possibly could.

make up flyer's and walk your neighborhood (with a parent) Knock on doors and see if any of your neighbors would like to work for them. You can also post your flyer's at you local park, vets and animal shelters with your parents name and let your parents handle this to keep you safe. When you do get a job ask them all of the training the dog has and make a list of the commands and habits of this dog to help you with the handling(do not take a dog that you can not manage IE. not leash trained hard to handle aggressive as this will cause those problem that might create legal problems). If you are contacted by someone with an untrained dog charge more for taking it to a training class with a local trainer. Remember all dogs bite it is only the circumstances that it takes to make a dog bite that keeps you or someone else from getting bitten so when you have a dog under your control please keep others away to prevent this from happening and getting you in troubleStarting dog walking job %26amp;im a teen...help/advice?

I have always wondered this, late teen + female advice much appeciated :)?
If you really like a guy and things become sexual between you, does pubic hair bother you as much as it bothers guys??? I personally cant stand my body hair n trim/shave etc u name it. i can only deal with the 'snail trail'.I have always wondered this, late teen + female advice much appeciated :)?
erm yeah, sumtyms body hair does get on my nerves and other times its good. erm its hard to put this but it depends on what you are doing at the time. eg. a bj isnt very easy when hair goes up your nose.
but usually i prefer to look at a guy who has hair- i mean u dont wanna be more hairy than ur bf.well i dont.
but its always good or the hair to look tidyI have always wondered this, late teen + female advice much appeciated :)?
ha my boyfriend is the same way and pubic hair really doesn't bother me but i like it better hair free
I like it to be tidy, not real bushy....but at the same time I don't really like for my guy to shave. Just keep it trimmed up!
actually i like guys who shave and keep that stuff under control
yes it does!
I call it the landing strip. i dont like a lot of hair, its somewhat gross
im maybe its just what everyone goes through just ask a guardian you trust ... like a nurse or doctor
yes in appearance and in satisfaction. it needs to be shone to have a great experience.

:(Changing High school in the middle of the semester ? Teen advice,suggestions ? ?
Think of it as a new start. It's scary at first, but once you get over that fear then it will be fun. Even if your shy, don't show it. I moved from my hometown to another town to live with my sister. I was not in school so it was harder to make new friends. I got a job working with the public, instead of being shy, I acted like I wasn't. That move ended up making me a ton of new friends. Crack jokes if your uncomfortable. And think of this, all the girls at your new school are going to be wondering who the new guy is.Changing High school in the middle of the semester ?

you just have to be yourself. people want to get to know you by who you are and not someone you're trying to be. you may not get all of the friends you want, but then again you may get all of them. if it doesn't work out good, you can still talk to your old friends.
omg i feel really sorry! for there's not much you can do since the chose isn't yourz all you can do is be friendlly and use you persoonality to make friends!!
btw: check out my question n give me sum advice! plzblush

Teen in need of some credit advice?
I am a college freshman, and being so i have virtually no credit history, I am trying to establish a credit score so that this summer I can take out a small car loan on a pre owned car, (less then 5k) and want a good score to try to back it up. I have money in my saving and checking, make a good amount of money for where I am at, but any application i fill out online just states the same thing ';insufficient credit history'; what can I do?Teen in need of some credit advice?
Your just going to have to keep building your credit history up. You obviously dont have enough information that shows youd be a reliable person on your credit history. Wherever you live, put all the bills in your name.. A lot of power/phone/water company's do report to the Credit Bureaus.Teen in need of some credit advice?
Get a secured credit card...the kind where your credit limit is equal to your security deposit and use that to build a history of on time payments. This is a good way to build a solid credit history.
Start small - and don't worry, I'm 32 and still have insufficient credit to buy a car, haha! Whatever you decide to do to improve your credit, make sure you make all your payments on time, pay more than the minimum due, and you'll be fine.
There are stores that cater to teens - like Gap and American Eagle - that might be able to set you up with your first credit account. There's no extra fees on those, like annual fees or application fees, stuff like that, so they won't cost you, as long as you use the card and pay the balance in full when it's due.
I agree with the person that suggested a secured bank loan - just go to your bank, ask for a secured bank loan, and they'll help you define what amount, what payment, and what form of security, etc. Last time I did one of those, it was $500, I put $500 in my savings, they gave me $500, and then each month they automatically withdrew the payment amount from my savings account out of the $500 i'd put in there. It's a no-brainer, you don't have to do anything.
Go to the bank and get a credit card. I got mine when I had no credit history at all by applying to one of those card for college student where they only asked for my program and license. Mine only had a 300 dollar limit but you gotta start somewhere.
Buy simple stuff and pay them on time every month. It's important to use the credit card when you have the money to pay for it at the moment and not when you think you can earn that money by next month. Don't spend to the point where the debt is close to the limit of the card (that doesn't help the score). Anyway, ask the people at the bank.
The other thing you can do is to get your parents to sign for you. I don't remember what's it called but it's basically a paper that states that if you don't pay for the car, your parents are going to have to pay for it or their score will be affected. Your not-on-time payments will affect their score as well.
Sometimes your bank should be able to allow you to set up a secured credit card, and move it to an unsecured credit card. Also, some times going with a department store helps IF AND ONLY IF you can afford to pay off what you're going to buy the next month. Another little trick is get a loan from your bank - say like 300 dollars, and offer 300 dollars for collateral, and pay it off starting the following week, in like 3 weeks, do it again a few times - it should show some creditability.

Go to the bank and get a credit card. I got mine when I had no credit history at all by applying to one of those card for college student where they only asked for my program and license. Mine only had a 300 dollar limit but you gotta start somewhere.
Buy simple stuff and pay them on time every month. It's important to use the credit card when you have the money to pay for it at the moment and not when you think you can earn that money by next month. Don't spend to the point where the debt is close to the limit of the card (that doesn't help the score). Anyway, ask the people at the bank.
The other thing you can do is to get your parents to sign for you. I don't remember what's it called but it's basically a paper that states that if you don't pay for the car, your parents are going to have to pay for it or their score will be affected. Your not-on-time payments will affect their score as well.
Sometimes your bank should be able to allow you to set up a secured credit card, and move it to an unsecured credit card. Also, some times going with a department store helps IF AND ONLY IF you can afford to pay off what you're going to buy the next month. Another little trick is get a loan from your bank - say like 300 dollars, and offer 300 dollars for collateral, and pay it off starting the following week, in like 3 weeks, do it again a few times - it should show some creditability.
Parental Advice on Teen Dating?
I have a son who is finishing his freshman year in high school. He met a girl several weeks ago at a concert and they want to be together. The girl invited my son to her house over the weekend. I told my son that even though there was going to be adult supervision at her house, it is unhealthy and immoral for him to be at a girls house. My son is extremely upset and angry with me. Do you think I made the correct decision?Parental Advice on Teen Dating?
He will get over it. Teen dating is useless *most of the time* because; from my experience - it never lasts/works out and someone always ends up heart broken. You made the correct decision. He may not fess up to it - and she may not either, but we ALL know what they were planning!Parental Advice on Teen Dating?
I think that you need to let go a bit personally. I know its hard for all parents to do that, and know when it is the right time to do so, but I do not believe it is 'unhealthy' or 'immoral' for a freshman to be at a girls house. Her parents are going to be there anyway.
If you do not let go, he will just start lying to you and going behind you back because he knows that you will be angry if he tells you the truth that you dont want to hear.
You need to be slightly more liberal (not so much so that he goes off the rails) but enought to make him realise that he can talk to you about girls and stuff without you flying off the handles. He is so much more likely to talk to you and be open with you if you make yourself approachable and less strict. Hope this helps, just my personal opinion.
Good luck! X
in my eyes, i think you made the wrong decision.
was he just invited over, or invited to stay over?
if it was invited over, then i think what you did was wrong, he was only visiting the girls house and parents would be there. it is not unhealthy and its certainly not immoral; girls and boys are meant to be friends and intereact with each other.
if its stay over, i understand where you are going from as they only met several weeks ago, however there is supervision.
i personally wouldn't let my son, i think you made the right decision. the best thing you can do is educate him about sex because sooner or later they will go behind your back and do it anyways.
most of the ones here that said you made a wrong decision are teens themselves so obviously they won't agree. also i never said don't let him go at all i just simply meant i wouldn't allow him to spent the weekend. and its not unhealthy its just inappropriate simple like that.
How old is he.
I'm 16 and I'm in a relationship. We started dating just under a year ago, currently my boyfriend is living with me and my parents, we are very happy together.
I would advise you let him have this relationship, if he doesn't like it it's his loss, if he does and your stopping him.... well you get the picture.
We only grow up with experiance - greenhouse plants aren't as strong as plants that have survived the elements.
p.s. prehaps you should sit down with your son and tell him your veiw and ask for his. That way you'll both know what's going on.
No, I don't think you did. Now he'll do it behind your back instead.
How is it unhealthy? Do you such little faith in him and in your own parenting that you just assume he is immediately going to jump into bed with her? Haven't you instilled correct morals in him at this point?
Who don't you give him a chance to be responsible and mature?
Why could you not have the girl over at your house instead?
I would not say immoral or unhealthy just to be at the girls house. It would not be appropriate for him to stay overnight unless it was an organized and chaperoned party. I would not assume that they are going to get naked and have wild monkey sex., at least not if her parents are paying attention.
I dont believe in parents interferring ( as long as they are taught about contraception at school, and that you would be pis*ed off if they had a kid whe nthey were too young i.e 14/15) is a good thing . just let them get on with life, and make there own way with girls/guys... Its kinda of sad he cant be at a girls house, this sounds to me american, us brits are very much laid back, let them go and have fun
it's got to happen at some point, if he does this now you will find out just how responsible he is. all boys want to go to their girl friends houses and most boys don't push a girl into something so it should be ok as long as he promises not to do any thing neither of them are ready for.
Let him have his experience, if he doesn't like it, then he`ll never do it again. But if he does, let him and he`ll learn the pros/cons in a relationship or anything similar.
You made the wrong decision. He's in highschool, don't stop him dating. You said youself there'll be adults there, so just let him go. Trust him.
Hes in high school now you should just let him date. If you dont he will probley just date and hide it from you. You should trust him to make smart decisions.
Depends on the personallity of the boy and the girl
i think you should let him go cause he is getting old enough
It's your son. You know him and what he is like, we don't. Do you think you make the right choice?
You definitely made the right decision. It is your responsibility to guide your child. You don't know what the girl's parents views on morality are, so you cannot trust that nothing untoward would happen. His anger will be short lived. A baby or STD however, is for life.

Is it my weight or what (overweight teen.advice,help tips please be mature)?
Hi : )
i find it really hard to breath at times and it's difficult for sleeping because i feel like i'm going to stop breathing in my sleep i'm having a pain in my chest and my mum said i must have pulled a musle and i find it so hard to breath at times and as i was doing exercise i now feel weak and did'nt use to feel like this i dont know if its because i'm an overweight teen i noticed it i think after i had a panic attack because of depression but its just confuzing i know my sleeping pattern has changed as i stay up alot later now and then i dont get up till the afternoon please help and give advice?
if its my weight is there any tips and advice you can give??
things that it may be?
i'm overweight.
panic attack (depression)
and i'm always needing fizzy juice i've became to obsessed with it that i'm always thirsty for it.

p.s i'm very sorry for it being this long i've wrote my life story.
i'm from the uk so yeah.
and i'm 5ft something and 12 stone.:(Is it my weight or what (overweight teen.advice,help tips please be mature)?
sounds like you could have sleep apnea. when you sleep on your back, your weight is pressing down on your body and causing you to stop breathing. you should go to a doctor and have him do a sleep test to see if you do have sleep apnea. if that's what it is, you can lose weight to help stop that or there are machines you can use to help you keep breathing; my cousin has one.

Can I get some ADULT (non-teen) advice? (man issue)?
For the last 3 months I have had a crush on a guy I work with. At one point I was sure the attraction was mutual, so I expressed interest, but he didn't pursue me. So I just let it go and figured he changed his mind or wasn't that into me. We developed a fun work relationship/friendship.
About 1 month ago I decided to move out of state to be closer to my family. I told my crush and he was pretty surprised. I leave in 2 weeks. Over the last week and especially the last few days, he has either been flirtatious or borderline rude. One hour he is coming to my desk poking me with a ruler and the next he is making snide comments, that almost hurt my feelings.
His seat is being moved to the other side of the office (he sits right next to me, in the next cubicle, now) so the other day he goes ';Now that I'm sitting over there, I don't have any reason to come to this side of the office.'; wtf? I don't know why he would want to make me dislike him. Especially since I'm leaving. Whats the deal?Can I get some ADULT (non-teen) advice? (man issue)?
Jaylee, he's either mad at you or mad at himself. You didn't give enough details for me to figure it out. If he's pretty young, early 20's, then he's probably mad (upset) at you for not giving him enough interest to work on. Guys don't take hints well, and women don't understand that. You call us dumb, yet drop ';hints'; that Machiavelli wouldn't understand. I'm going to guess he is pretty young, and you're not much older, if at all. If he is older, he would be mad at himself, but older guys don't act like we're in high school anymore (most of us). If you care to send me an email with more details, do so, and I'll try to help. I'm 30, by the way.Can I get some ADULT (non-teen) advice? (man issue)?
plain and simple, he is a jerk. even if he didn't find you attractive or liked you, he should not be making smart comments or remarks... he could be upset that you are leaving, but that is no way to show it. the good thing is that you are moving. star a new life and find a guy who is worth your time. at least you won't be regretting the decision of moving since he is being a jerk.
guys are weird. he probably liked you and now you are moving and he is mad at himself. so he wants to either get you mad so its easier on him. or he just wants to be with you physically and thats all, he can be himself now, because you are leaving so no loss there. i say stay away and have a nice time by your family
sounds like to me that he really liked you and doesnt like the fact you are leaving....i would approach him with it...what have you got to lose you are leaving anyway...maybe he will open up to you and then develope a long distant relationship and maybe he will move to where you are going....
i think he feels why should he be too concerned about you, since your moving. sounds like hes mad because you are leaving. if i were you, i would just let him go, maybe you can find someone where you move to.
He is trying to get over the fact that he likes you and you are moving. he wants to try and hurt your feelings in order to get you off his mind.
He likes you and was unable to say it. That's his juvenile way of saying he's going to miss you. Men are total idiots. Just ignore him and be glad you weren't dating.
Sorry, but no adults read these types of things.
You're not going to get any answers.
hmmmm maybe this could be his way of dealing with the fact that you are moving. in his mind hes thinking oh ok if i make her dislike me it wont be as hard to say goodbye to her. PLUS you know when we were young and the only way a boy could show a girl that he liked her is by being mean to her well sounds like this guy hasnt grown out of that phase yet lol. seriously though try not to make too big a deal cuz hes probly hurting too hes losing a friend and possibly someone he was interested in.

Pleaaase help, in need of some teen advice?
In one of my classes a sit in a group of guys. they are all my friends, and i like one of them. today he stole my glasses from me, so i leaned on his shoulders/chest to get them back. My teacher is usually nice but she then moved me to another table.
I really like this guy. class is the only time we talk aside from an occasional group-outing/MSN. i talked to my teacher after class asking if i could sit back there again and she said ';maybe, just as long as you start talking and flirting less'; and laughed so i think she meant yes. what should i do about this guy? what happens if she moves him? PLEASE help, what should i do?Pleaaase help, in need of some teen advice?
Obviously, if you two are going to date, you'll have to set aside time other than group-outings, MSN and class, so why not start now? Why wait until you're already dating to set aside social time with him? Start creating social time with him now, rather then waiting for dating to begin. That way, when you do begin dating, it wont seem odd.
Ask him to spend time with you outside of class, away from group-outings and MSN. That time together will begin as friends and will transition into dating, as you get to know one another. Talk to him about it before class, or on MSN. Don't talk to him about it during a group-outing though, because that could be an awkward conversation to have on a group-outing.
';I'm going to ____ movie/play/concert/party, and I'd really love if you'd join me. I really enjoy your company and I think we'd have a lot of fun together. Just me and you.'; That's not a question. You aren't asking him out. You are indicating interest and indicating that you have an active social life. You are asking to include him in that active social life. He doesn't have to make a decision, he just has to agree to join you. Even if he says no, he isn't saying no to you, he's just saying no to this one event, so you can always ask again and again. He's not turning you down. He's just turning this one event down. So, you're not actually being rejected. He may even say yes. Infact he's more likely to say yes, because he already likes you, at least as a friend.
Also, guys are more likely to say yes to a woman asking them out, then a woman is to a guy asking them out. Why? Women are asked-out more often then men are. Because men are asked-out so infrequently, they are more likely to accept offers, because it happens less often. When you combine that with the fact you're already friends, it's very likely he'll say yes.
Avoid flirting during class. It's just that simple. If you want to flirt, do it before and after class. It seems like your teacher is being a pretty good sport about this. She's been there. She knows what it's like, and she's willing to give you two a second chance. If she were your boss and you two were co-workers, it may not go as smoothly, so learn a life leason from this now, so you can avoid problems in the future.
Best of luck in life and love. :-)Pleaaase help, in need of some teen advice?

Have a group hang out and make sure he goes. Tell everyone you want to go lazer tagging paint balling or bowling this weekend. If there not up to it make it a competition, boys love that. Then have everyone go out for pizza or back to someones house for video games and make sure you sit with him. Hanging out in groups always works best and clue in a best friend telling him or her the game plan that your getting your flirt on.
Scavenger hunts are a big there in my school. You make teams and make of list of things you need to do around town. It fun for everyone.
Football is good too. That way your getting some physical contact but having fun.
Good luck!PLEAAAASE help, i need some good teen advice?
Try to keep your flirtation down to only when the teacher isn't actually teaching (ie, when you're doing group work, etc).
Honestly, your teacher probably knows that you like him which is why she said she'd let you sit back there as long as you talk less ;) She's trying to give you a break, too, but don't make it hard for her!
You should just start calling him on the phone in the evening, don't worry too much about what you can't control (i.e. your teacher). Even if your teacher moves you back, you'll have to stop talking to him a lot in class anyway otherwise she'll just move you again.
As for what you should do about him, tell him you like him... what's the worst that can happen? :)
well, maybe he likes you back. just talk less when the teacher isn't looking, pass notes maybe, just dont get into trouble that will make you/him get moved. see if he likes you when you guys are hanging out with the group, but not to obvious. i hope it helps, good luck.
It sounds like you already handled this problem. Bring your teacher a gift and promice you will be good. Take your relationship a step further outside the classroom. This can't be the only place you can talk at school. Be creative. He will like you for it.
awe =) if she moves him, start talking to him more... any ways you can... if youre friends invite a group or ppl to see a movie and bring him, sit by him, talk to him, but dont ignore the other peopleand be too obvious. =) MUCH LUCK!
before he or you get moved again, you can try to become closer to him by asking him his number so that you can call him. and maybe plan a study date but not really study.or something of that sort.
say: hey want to come over?blush
I really like this guy. class is the only time we talk aside from an occasional group-outing/MSN. i talked to my teacher after class asking if i could sit back there again and she said ';maybe, just as long as you start talking less'; and laughed so i think she meant yes. what should i do about this guy? what happens if she moves him?because she thinks we flirt lol PLEASE help, what should i do?PLEAAAASE help, i need some good teen advice?
Have a group hang out and make sure he goes. Tell everyone you want to go lazer tagging paint balling or bowling this weekend. If there not up to it make it a competition, boys love that. Then have everyone go out for pizza or back to someones house for video games and make sure you sit with him. Hanging out in groups always works best and clue in a best friend telling him or her the game plan that your getting your flirt on.
Scavenger hunts are a big there in my school. You make teams and make of list of things you need to do around town. It fun for everyone.
Football is good too. That way your getting some physical contact but having fun.
Good luck!PLEAAAASE help, i need some good teen advice?
Try to keep your flirtation down to only when the teacher isn't actually teaching (ie, when you're doing group work, etc).
Honestly, your teacher probably knows that you like him which is why she said she'd let you sit back there as long as you talk less ;) She's trying to give you a break, too, but don't make it hard for her!

How can i create a teen advice site? 10 points?
I want to create a teen advice site where teens can go to and ask questions and they will be answered. What kind of programs would I need to use? What site? I need some really good explaination. I want my site to be like a teen site, where teens can look at whats hot and not, what to do if this happens, quizzes, fun stuff like that on the page.. and stuff they can look at.
Where can I do this? How can I do this? Please answer in full details.

It sounds like you need a social networking site. Social networks are the way of the future, and a way to keep people coming back time and time again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_netw鈥?/a> There are many ways of doing such without having to be a web programmer or hiring one. http://www.kickapps.com/ being #1 in that market. They make it easy to create a social media and networking site that can very easily be made into your teen advice site. You can also create a site like that using the http://www.squarespace.com/ service. Or if you have lots of funding for the project you can hire a programmer to make a custom web application. Keep in mind there are hundreds of teen advice site already on the web. You will want to make sure yours stands out. Use search engine optimization and search engine marketing to make sure you stay on top of your competitors %26amp; keep the traffic coming back. Good LuckHow can i create a teen advice site? 10 points?
A website of this nature would require some server-side programming. Typically, this means knowledge in at least one of the following:
JAVA
PHP
.NET
Simple websites require knowledge in JavaScript, HTML, CSS.
You will need a domain name, a webhost (with database support MYSQL or MS SQL).
An answer in details would be impossible on this forum.
If you want to know more, then feel free to email me: irishtek@yahoo.com
I can disucss some of the efforts you will have in creating such a site. Let me know what your background is with creating websites so I can give you better guidance.
if you dont want to pay for a domain
you can use piczo or freewebs or another free domain site.

I'm trying to work on my html skills, so I decided to make an advice site.
[No, I'm not trying to compete with this site. Duh. Hahaaa.]
Can y'all check it out and tell me what needs to be done with it??
I know that there aren't any questions on it yet. I just set it up tonight.
Also, how can I get the word out and get people to check it out?
Thanks!!Will you help with my teen advice site? [repost]?
well I can't get to the site but as for getting the word out, posters and flyers work well, and judging by the site address it would be good to put them in places where teens hang out, youth clubs, parks, cafes etc.
also if you have a newsletter at your school/workplace maybe asking them to put a small advert in there should be either free or cheap to do.Will you help with my teen advice site? [repost]?

Proboards and InvisionFree are both very quick and simple for making forums (I've used InvisionFree to make a forum, and it was really quick and easy). For something a bit more complex, go for phpBB
PM me when you've done, and I'll register, as I'm a teen, and could use advice.
But it'll probably be quite difficult to get traffic. There are already quite a few teen advice sites out there.I want to create a teen advice site... 10 points?
As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your forum website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you鈥檙e going to create a forum site at your own domain without any forced ads, you need a web host providing forum tools (phpbb or vbulletin).

I'm a teen girl doing p90x and would like some advice?
At my highest I was 146.
I've been doing the program for 35 days or so, and have yet to see any real results.
I am a girl and was wondering when I will be able to tell?
Should I be witnessing better results?
I follow the diet to the best of my ability (taking into account school and work...)
I just want to know if results are coming or if I need to adjust my diet to better fit the workout plan.I'm a teen girl doing p90x and would like some advice?
the best info is from hereI'm a teen girl doing p90x and would like some advice?
I have tried every diet known to mankind but nothing worked as well as acai berry. I know they say that pills do not work, but they sure worked for me, and they've been shown on CNN too. There's a free trial happening at the moment at http://papapn.neonpolis.com , why not check it out, what's the worst that could happen?blush

Women say my penis is too big? It was flattering when i was a teen.Now its ruining my relationship.Any advice?
Im confused i thought women like'em big now all of a sudden there is a TOO big! So what should i do stay with my girl orr move on to someone who would be more cofortable with my size? Women say my penis is too big? It was flattering when i was a teen.Now its ruining my relationship.Any advice?
Of course there is a too big.. Just how big is it? I know I prefer them to be average size.. Otherwise sex can get uncomfortable and sore.. You just need to talk to her and find out if it will affect the relationship or not? If she says she can handle it then don't worry about it.. If she wants to break up then become a porn star! Even put yourself on one of those ';sex/relationship'; websites and let the girls know its big if they want you!Women say my penis is too big? It was flattering when i was a teen.Now its ruining my relationship.Any advice?
If you really love each other, you will stay together. A relationship is more then just the size of your penis. But I can imagine that it really is a problem. There are different positions in sex that you can use in which it doesn't hurt. Some positions make you go deeper then others.
Try some things out, experiment some.
The thing is with a really big penis, it absolutely looks great and is within the fantasies of many women, but in reality many women will have a physical problem with it.
So, stay with your loved one, and find yourself some new positions that are good for you both.
If your current relationship is only about sex then finding a new partner is a viable option. If you wish to stay with her there are a few things you can do. A back massage will relax all her muscles so that she isn't tense and squeezing when you slide in. Use plenty of lube and and use your fingers first to gently stretch her out. the above is great for your lady no matter what your size and is guaranteed to make you popular in the bedroom! Try entering from a few different positions too. Some are easier than others.
If you sole preoccupation is the size of the garage into which your car fits comfortably, then sell the house and move on.
I'm sure the garage owner would be happy / grateful too ...if that is the sole basis upon which you measure, judge and value your relationship.
( and of course, your 'Mr Texas' really does say a rather LARGE amount about you too )
It's a really tough life for some of us.
Sash.
I'm a girl and belive me, big is not always better. My man is big and it hurts everytime. I try to pretend eveything is ok but...I have no idea what an orgasm is.
Guys, you just want to thrust and thrust, until its all in, damn, it hurts and the bigger you are, the worse it is
Dear, an action should be taken from your side.
You need to sit down with her and discus it in professional way.... to see it there is chance to continue or not.
Asking specialist is recommended.
Medo
woooooooooohhhh dude you can come to me lol they are just sook's obviously they cant handle anything lool no if yous love each other stay cause in time she will get used to it trust me ok, good luck give her some time

Do any members of the churches of Christ have advice on teen relationships?
I'm a member of the church %26amp; so is my boyfriend but it's very hard to avoid being ';worldly';. any advice?Do any members of the churches of Christ have advice on teen relationships?
Start your dates with a prayer. This sets a positive tone from the beginning.
If you are going somewhere and you would feel uneasy if your mother or your preacher saw you there, you shouldn't be there either.
Read your Bible every day. With God's word fresh in your mind it will help you resist temptations. Remember, when Jesus was tempted, He said, ';It is written...';
Don't stay up too late. When you are tired, your resolve to resist temptation is weakened.
Don't drink alcoholic beverages, for the same reason. Studies show that even a little alcohol reduces your resolve to resist temptation, even before you begin to feel a ';buzz';.
Dress modestly.
Choose entertainment carefully. If, for example, you go to a movie that has a strong sexual theme, that idea is placed in your mind even before you are alone.
Limit how much time you spend alone with your date. Even when you are alone, be in a public place. (a restaurant, a park, etc.)
Choose activities that will serve others and serve God. You can't do good and evil at the same time.
Don't forsake the assemblies of the church. (Heb 10:25)
Have a friend, your mother, your preacher, or someone else you can trust check up on you. Have someone you can trust to ask you every day if you have remained pure. (This person should be someone who will be dependable and will keep your answers confidential.) It will be easier to resist temptation if you know you will have to give an accounting the next day. (Answer the questions truthfully.)
I admire your desire to do what is right! I will pray for you!

12] make a floral wreath or swag with eucalyptus wreath, room color flowers, and hang above dresser or wherever there is a blank spot
ORGANIZATION:
1] throw away/donate/give away/store all clothes that are too small, too big, too ugly, or ragged [ toss ]
2] go thru books, toys, games, old school or artwork, etc.
3] get two underbed storage chests for bed
4] get shelf dividers for closet - first section for winter hats, gloves, scarves; second for sweaters, long sleeve Ts, and henleys; third for handags, filed on bottoms like books; and fourth for summer hats, totes, sunglasses, etc.
5] shoe rack or racks on bottom - winter boots; closed toe shoes; athletic shoes; summer sandals, slides, open toes.
Put dressiest shoes in back, and plainer ones in front of each section.
6] Keep one big shoebox for your flip flop collection.
7] suggest you put bed in a corner directly across from closet, with dresser in between. All your closet, dresser, and underbed stuff will be together. Get a cosmetic organizer or toolbox or tacklebox for makeup, etc. Toss what you don't need.
8] another corner for desk, desk chair, file cabinet, shelves
Make a L-shaped arrangement with shelves on one side of desk and cabinet on other. File stuff from finished courses you may need another time for background. All completed assignments should immediately be placed in the folder or notebook, and replaced in bag or backpack.[ I used to use folders that matched the textbook colors if possible. ]
9] an entertainment armoire would be great - put TV and music system in it, and have a drawer for DVDs, and one for CDs. Get an old foot locker or trunk for extra storage, and use as a table for sitting area.Teen room advice?
Well I do know a friend who got his closet and cabinets redone in a wood finished which did give his room a good look. As well use a mix of matching colors in your room. As well the same friend has a screen and projector where he watches his TV on which gives a theater look to it. Hope this helps.
your room is big so theres many things you can do with it. im decorating my room too and color is EVERYTHING! try using your favorite color or colors using two or more is really good; or using different shades of one color. You can paint your walls the different colors either tying all the colors together or painting each wall a different color. Stripes look nice, or polka dots for your walls. you can also cut the walls in half horizontally and paint them matching colors. Make sure the furniture you have or get matches the colors or you can paint it yourself. Two desks; one for work %26amp; one for your computer. Shelves %26amp; labeled baskets can also keep you really organized %26amp; can be hid. You can also probably fit somewhere to put seats a little table and a tv to hang out. i have sooo many ideas if you need anything else just email me and ill be glad to help :)
Use Pbteen- you dont have to necessarily buy from them but they have some awesome ideas.
also container store has a sale going on with things to decorate ones room with.
I need help creating a functionable, yet stylish room. It needs to be a bedroom, and be able to be a hangout! Since I have friends over all the time! Also I'm in high school, getting ready to go into college so it needs to be organized!!!!
Ikea has a lot a great stuff, but I can't get a theme together.
Any ideas?

Help book subtitle needed - teen advice book what to use?
writing a teen help advice book but need a sub title to attract my readers. I list below some of my idea's but if you have a better one please feel free to let me know. Which one do you like? Plus, that most important question - would you buy a book like this?
Here is a little taster ';have you ever noticed how some people you meet are always jolly and happy regardless of what is happening in their life, they have an 'attitude of being happy'. We all know of a Victor Meldrew who has the attitude of 'life is ****' and nothing seems to make them happy. When a person suffers from low-esteem they wrongly believe they don't deserve happiness or this is how their life is....
Idea's are:
Girls gotta be girls
No - nonsense guide to life
Make your teen time happy
Because your life's worth it
Improve your life today
Be in control of your teen years
Your life is going to be fantastic.
My book is going to the printer within the next week or so. Really need some potential readers to help me out here. Age bracket is c. 11 - 18 years. It is a practical help book sprinkled with a little humour.
thank youHelp book subtitle needed - teen advice book what to use?
I would probably read your book! It sounds interesting. I'm 14 by the way. For your ideas of the subtitles, I probably would only pick up your book if it was on a shelf if it said, ';No-nonsense guide to life.'; Only because it's not as cheesy as the others. Right now I can't really think of anything that would work, meaning that I would want to read it based on the subtitle, but I wish you the best!
Just please don't use the following:
Girls gotta be girls

I think those are the only ones where I would definitely not read the book (sorry).
But yeah, the other ones sound okay.Help book subtitle needed - teen advice book what to use?

First Tattoo For A Teen.. Advice?
I'm getting a Tattoo, obviously. ^
I've been thinking on what to get. I don't necessarily want a tattoo that's easy. I don't care if it takes hours to do it. But, I can't decide what to get. I'm a girl who wont change for anyone, or anything, I am who am I.
I need opinions on what's perfect for a tattoo for someone like that. Or anything. I don't want something like just a plain star, that's to boring.
I need ideas. I was thinking about putting it on my lower back, top foot, bottom wrist, hip, forearm, or rib. Please Help. Thank you.First Tattoo For A Teen.. Advice?
If you don't even know what you want, then don't get one!First Tattoo For A Teen.. Advice?
Well no one can decide what you want to get on your skin except you. I could give you ideas but It shouldn't be what I would pick, its your own expression. As long as you like it I shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks of it, don't change your mind for them. Just remember artworks on your skin for life so whatever you do choose to get make sure you think it through. I have had many friends regret that decision they made when they were younger. I got my first tat when I was 16, and now quite a bit older I plan for a few more. Good luck!!
Well i got my first tattoo only a few days ago and i designed the tattoo... i put all the things i like in one and i was hoping id be the only one to like it! seeing as it was on me and all.. but it turned out alot of ppl liked it and have asked me to draw them something similar! which i wont because i like being individual and its mine! lol so maybe try put all the things that mean something to you in a tattoo... im adding words to mine as well so maybe some stonng words for you would be good also
Hope this helps
Think of something that you like and imagine yourself 50 years older and explaining to your grandchildren about the tattoo and why you got it plus where you decided to have it. You will be living with it for the rest of your life. The color fades and if you want it removed you will have a scar forever. Chose something that you will be content with forever,
well, if you're ';tough'; or like you say, you are who you are and you won't change then maybe get some BRASS KNUCKLES:
http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt230鈥?/a>
but, you'd probably end up regretting that ^ sooner or later.
get whatever you like, personally i think you should get a tattoo that has a big meaning to you, not something that you just think is ';cute'; in the moment. Like a quote or symbol that has a meaning more than you ';like it';.
First Tattoos hurt. Especially on bones. ribs, back, crook of the leg, back of he neck. those are pain points. You should get something that is small, but that doesn't mean that it will be simple. It can still be intricate. and, ur gunna be with this tattoo for the rest of your life. It has GOTTA mean something special to you. Will you still love this tattoo when you are 45? So, ur stubborn? get a goat or a donkey kicking something. You could get a flame or some form of the elements that symbolizes who you feel you are. like a mountain. Anyways, you should be creative and come up with your own. Its permanent on your body...not ours.
Its not really something that you have to worry about but you need to think it through. You are going to have this on your skin for the rest of your life or spend thousands to remove it over time and it will be painful. Get something that symbolizes you or something you have always loved never get someones name on your skin though
ok DON'T GET IT
it is stupid and it will get all saggy
don't make oe of the biggest mistakes in your
God make you beautiful without any inks and dyes on your skin
if you do this you are disapproving God's judgment of you being a beautiful person
so go ahead do it
but understand your will be ugly when you get older
it's all up to you on what to get, make it special though and make sure it means something or else you will regret it.
I would suggest a butterfly with a tribal design through it, which I think would look good on the lower back.
when it comes to tattoos, don't ask people what to get.
it's going to be permanent, you need to come up with something yourself that you will like forever.
don't get it... you get scars if you try to remove it and when ur old its all gross and saggy... i would consider thinking a second time
If you cant decide what to get for yourself......DONT GET IT !!!!!

Urgentish! Please Help. Teen Advice!?
So the school I go to is really small and everyone knows everyone pretty much. But everyone in my grade and stuff is into drinking and partying and I'm not. I've had friend problems in the past and have lost a lot of friends so the girls I hang out with now I don't really feel like I fit in with cause they come from totally different life styles as me and like my best friend she does drink but not with me cause I don't. And like they all go and hang out with other guys and stuff who drink but I don't like to hang out with all of them even when they don't drink because I don't want to be put in a situation where I'm around people who are partying and drinking. So mainly, I just sometimes feel like a loser/loner because I don't hang around those guys they hang around with or I don't party and drink. I know that I'm doing the right thing and in the end I'm the smart one for not doing that stuff, but at the same time its like my senior year and I just feel lonely sometimes cause I don't party and drink or have sex or whatever. And like I talk to my mom about it and she says that I'm doing the right thing and of course I am, and she says like find people who believe in the same things I do, people who don't party and drink like me. But then people will look at me weird if I just start hanging out with those types of people because there looked at as like the ';smart, nerd type'; but thats just how their labeled. So I don't know if this is all making since I'm trying to type it how I feel, but I don't if its coming out right. I just don't know what to do or how to act sometimes and feel out of place cause I'm kinda seen as like the ';pretty one'; so I think a lot of people and guys in my grade see me as someone who does party and drink. But if you can just give me your advice to my situation. I'd appreciate it. Everyones kinda always seen me as the loner, quiet one and so I'm just confused when it comes to this stuff, like theres so much drama I just stay away from and it makes me just want to graduate and go to college where they'll be people like me you know?
But anyways just give your imput if you could. Thanks!
-Serious answers only please-Urgentish! Please Help. Teen Advice!?

To Y!A calculations, you are indeed pregnant! Congrats!
Now go take a test. Like how should we know?
Im going to start copy%26amp;pasting this to every question like this.

Find the nearest location! They can give you a free test, set u up on birth control for a little to no cost, they make Plan B available. And they are completely confidential meaning your parents will not know. They offer abortion also depending on ur age and if you think you could support a healthy baby. You are most likely pregnant and kudos for protection. Unfortunately it didn't work.
Hey first you most def need to take that test... For the baby you dont need to wait because it has been a few months and you need the prenatal care.. If you think you are mature for your age than do the right thing by going to wal mart and taking the test.. it only takes a few minutes.. If it comes back positive, dont freak, easier said than done.. My son is now seven months and i had him at 21.. It changes your life a lot but i wouldnt trade being a mom for anything. Hang in there you will be fine.. I was afraid to tell my parents about being pregnant but they took it very well. Be strong
Take a pregnancy test. If you are worried about your parents finding out, get it when you're by yourself.
Could just be stress, or it could be something else. It doesn't necessarily have to be pregnancy, but it could be.
taking a test is pretty much the only way to know for sure, good luck with everything though, babies are a huge responsibility.
it's been few months...
take a pregancy test.
you gotta know.
Please, do it for the child that could be.
btw, how old are u?
Take a pregnancy test and see what happens. You said you used protection so you may not be pregnant.
Take a test. Even a doctor on the internet can't tell if you are pregnant or not.
Take a pregnancy test..............
You should go ahead and take a pregnancy test.
you should go to a doctor to check or take a pregnancy test
Advice?
Don't have sex
You need to take a pregnancy test!
take a pregnancy test......
go get a pregnancy test at walmart
get prenacy test things that says if you are pregnent or not then you will be able to know
SHUT UP.
go to a pharmacy and get a test.

What is the best advice you can give a teen?
I've been working with teens for many years and in my book ';Be Special, Be Yourself for Teenagers'; I help teens and their family find the answer for that. I'm working now on the second book and wanted to know what you think about the best advice.
Thank you

Advice on Boys,sex,college prep.,drug effects short and long term, depression and stress you only live once(getting job is not always good, go to prom,) also stress sports ,chear leading , and how in the long run how you might regrett that yoy didnt try
Among 3 others(advise wise), swim naked as often as you can.
Thank you
we are actually normally pretty happy and giggly, especially when talking about boys or at pep rallys, at least i am!
Above all - stay in school so you don't raise children on a McDonald's pay check, while living in a ghetto.
1st of all think before you act, if you will be ashamed latter or have to lie about it latter DON'T do it, and 2nd be true to yourself
listen to your elder!!!!!!!!! thats it. I mean think about it, if they lasted this long them maybe they are doing something right!
Educate Your Self . . .
I am now 27 yrs old. When I was a teenager, I was raised by my mother and grandmother. They were always honest with me about their experiences and allowed me to talk about anything with them. I believe that is what helped me to NOT do what all my friends were doing. I think that smoking, drugs and drinking start when a teen wants to rebel against their parents, especially knowing that it would upset them. When my parents were open and honest about things they have done, I actually wanted to stay clear of what they had done because I didn't want to end up like them. Maybe it was because they always instilled it in me that I needed to be better than them. That might be the better approach - at least it worked for me.
There are too many to pick just one.
1. Stay off drugs.
2. Get all the education you can get before your parents kick you out.
3. Respect everyone.
4. Respect yourself.
5. Don't get into trouble.
6. Don't give in to peer pressure.
7. Always stay within the law.
8. Don't get a police record.
That's good for openers.
Thank you

Moms of teen girls, advice needed re. ';the talk';?
Good day moms (or dads as the case may be).
My coworker is preparing herself to have ';the talk'; with her pre-teen daughter.
Can anyone recommended a book that she can use as a guideline?Moms of teen girls, advice needed re. ';the talk';?
Try The Body Book for Girls which I think is from American Girls (you know, like the dolls).
I got one for my stepdaughter and it is written in a way girls can understand. It covers acne, growing pains, boys, keeping your body clean, and so on.
It's a book that mother and daughters can read together.
Good luck!Moms of teen girls, advice needed re. ';the talk';?
Most teens learn about sex and everything in health classes now-a-days. I never got ';the talk'; from my parents. She could ask her daughter about what she knows about sex first, and if she has questions, answer them. It's much more comfortable if you don't pressure her into hearing about it when she doesn't want to.
If she is a teen and she just now thought about talking to her then chances are she already knows more than the mother thinks she does.
What she can talk to her about now is respecting herself and expecting others to do the same.

w8losschickGot any teen diet advice?
first of all dont go crazy and start eating or start throwing up after eating. IT DOES NOT WORK IN THE LONG RUN. you will only be hurting yourselves.
try cutting all sodas (even diet!!!!). drink lots of water- at least 8 8oz cups a day. eat lots of fruit and veggies. avoid fried foods and all fast foods. cut back on candy. eat three balenced meals a day, with a snack under 200 calories inbetween breakfast and lunch, and then another between lunch and dinner. make sure you do not let your calorie count drop to below 1200.
start working out. get a gym membership. do 30 mins of cardio 3x a week. if working out isnt your think, try joining an aerobics class, like zumba or jazzercize. they play popular music and give good routines.
but remember, you are only 14. you need to live a little. you have your whole life to eat healthy. at 14 your metabolism high, so you will be able to eat more now and not gain then when you are 40. and also remember you are still growing- so it is VERY important to not starve yourselves now.
Keep on saying ';So That';
Ask yourself ';Why do I want to lose weight'; and after you come up with a reason why... Just keep on saying SO THAT.
For example - Why Do you want to lose weight...
I want to lose weight to look better SO THAT...
I can feel more confident about myself SO THAT...
I can be the best looking person at my high school reunion SO THAT...
I can see the surprised looks on the faces of my classmates SO THAT...
I may be able to go on a date with the person I had a crush on in high school
Can you see what's happening here?
The more times you say SO THAT the more and more motivated you'll become to lose weight.

Parents... teen needs advice on understanding her parents?
i'll be 18 next week and am trying to find a way to bring up the issue of a curfew extension.. on the weekends.. to my parents.
here are a few things about me:
-ive never missed my curfew
-im usually 10-15 minutes early
-im still in high school so its really just for the weekends
-ive never gotten into drinking or drugs so they don't have to worry about any of that
-im always honest about who im with and where im at
.. ive been doing all this to build up their trust and it seems like they're having a harder time than ever letting go..
i guess i just need to hear from some other parents to understand this..
thanks
michelleParents... teen needs advice on understanding her parents?
You didn't say what time curfew is, so I don't have a sense of what is/isn't reasonable here.
Your parents love you, and yes they are trying to protect you. It scares them when you are out and they dont know what's going on, where you are. If they are like me (I have a 14 year old)...they trust YOU, it's the rest of the world they aren't too sure about !
Start with your mom. Tell her that ...now that you are 18...you'd like to stay out another 30 minutes (or wahtever). Reassure her that you understand they are concerned about things they can't control. Tell her what precautions you will take (I'll always call you 30 minutes before I head home , I promise I will NEVER get in a car with someone driving who is compromised at all, whatever) ... ask her to try it for 3 weeks and you two can then talk and reasses how it is working out.
It's not you they are worried about probably, so recognize that, and talk to them from that angle. Don't start a fight....speak with understanding of their position.Parents... teen needs advice on understanding her parents?
You just honestly told us why you want a curfew extension. How about telling all that to them? They were all good things. I'd give you extensions on the weekends! Also, mention how good your grades are (if they're good.) I do not see any thing wrong in telling all that to your parents.
One word of caution though: If they extend your curfew, don't blow it by doing something stupid!
My suggestion is sit down with your parents and disscuss the issues... present to them that you are now 18 and that you have always been responsible with your curfew...and that you will uphold that... I believe they will extend your xurfew if you present basic facts of responsiblity.
If your parents are in the mindset that, ';Our house our rules';, then your probably not going to get very far till after you graduate.
I admire the fact that you show such wonderful potential (via your building up trust). But it's not always about your actions, it also about the world we live in and the dangers.
If I were you, I would ask my parents if they would consider working out a plan so you could stay out later. Tell them to think it over before they give you an answer. If you don't hear back from them about this after a week. Go ahead and ask what they thought about it. Give them that time to consider what you have ask. This shows maturity on your part.
You gain this way by:
1: Not being perceived as being pestering.
2: You learn more about where they stand on this issue, what they feel comfortable with and what they consider acceptable. This knowledge will prove useful to you.

Well since you will be turning 18 soon I say you should get a job and find some room mates and move out so you can make your own decisions. You will legally be an adult soon.
You sound pretty well rounded and i hope my kids are like that when they are 17/18 years old. Im not sure what your curfew is now but you are pretty well an adult and a curfew seems to be a little much, but thats just me. You are only in highschool for a little while longer and still have to follow the rules if you are under their roof, unless you start paying your own way around the house. Sit your parents down and talk with them like adults, and explain to them what it is what you want and why. If they dont budge (wich they should give a little) and you dont like it, either suck it up, or move out with some friends.
Well, sit your parents down and present to them what you've presented here. Have the list you've written her in front of you so you can refer to it. Be ready to reply to them with any questions they have to you. IE: getting in to a car with a friend who's been drinking (even tho he/she was supposed to be the designated driver)
The key thing is to be calm and cool when you sit down with them and be ready for any ';curve balls'; they throw your way.
Good luck - you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders.

there are more teen mums out there then u think, its going to b a life changing situation for you, its gunna b tuff but with all the support you hopefully have you can do it. as soon as the bub is old enough get urself back into enducation so that you can make life for YOU and ur baby keep following with ur dreams even if u didn't plan on having ababy so early its just an obsticle, life throws alot of lemons at you just throw them all back and keep going, don't listen to what people say about you being a young mum, you made the mistake of getting pregnant and they should be happy that you're mature enough to accept the consiqwences and thats a really good thing that you can take care of ur actions. make sure that you give ur baby love and displine and be the best mother that you can. and as much as its scary to accept the fact that ur going to be a mother in 6 months it is not hard!! the time will go so fast, you will go through alot of emtiontions u'll be happy sad angry excited scared nervous so many things, but try work with the good feelings the postivie. just coz ur young doesn't mean u can get along with ur life, you will be able to have a special bond with ur child the older mothers don't have and that is coz u are young. good luck for ur future and i hope everything goes reallly good for you!!Does anyone have any advice for a soon-to-be teen parent?
is the father with you have your parents help and get the farther to get a jod or have him watch the kid if you wanna keep it if not give it to a friend and some adoptson angeseys have think wher you can see you baby a lot and keep i touch with it

Hopefully you have understanding and supportive parents. If you do great. First admit you made a mistake, second take responsibility for your mistake and number three get an education. By doing this you prove to all those people out there that think ';oh great another on the system'; that not all mistakes are bad mistakes and you are not going to be ';another on the system'; Good luck and I hope you do have understanding and supportive parents :)
no use you already messed up by not using the advice you got before you became pregnant. you wont use these either so why bother
i know ppl who got abortions at the end of the 1st trimester...it'll be better than being talked about in school, and it's a great way to piss off Christians
im 19 and im 25 weeks pregnant! yes yes,it`s really hard! but i don`t think about how hard it is..i think about my baby..the positive things ill get with my baby! i think u know what i mean! having a baby is soo great! it`s a blessing,it`s a gift! not all women can have a baby on their own..so u and i are sOo blessed to have this gift!
i know everything will change when we have a baby..like,no parties,no clubs blah bla..but hey! it`s not bcoz u have already a baby,u cant go and have fun! u can get a way..! and don`t forget that people around u are always there to help u! and once ur cute lil baby angel will be born,u can never say ';hard';..ull just see urself smiling all day long! Congrats and GoodLuck!
GodBless!
Do your best to stay in school. It might not be easy, but you'll be glad you did. If your parents are supportive, they can help out where needed. And just remember that, teen or adult, all kids need loving and someone to depend on.
After reading the answers already given, you got a lot of good stuff there. However, my advice is - for the life of the child (Yes, I am a Christian Catholic, age 56 who never used birth control) do all you can to protect the life you are entrusted with. And remember that this is not a toy, but a responsibility for the first 18 years of this child's life. If you are not ready to handle the responsibility, by all means explore options such as adoption rather than abortion. Parenting is a 100% commitment. Use all the resources you can (family, friends, professionals). They are out there if you do your research. Solicit the help from/communicate with your parents. Obviously it is not the end of the world that a teen is pregnant. At the same time, allow yourself to still be a teen. That doesn't mean you have to quit everything you do to be a parent. Find someone you trust to watch the child for your good as well as the good of the child.
Please, it isn't the child's fault for being conceived. End of sermon.
Stay in school, (as hard as that may be) don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it because if you really want to be a good parent then YOU CAN . If your b/f is not with you still then make him pay the support don't let him get off easy. I became a parent at 16 and i didnt know a thing about kids, I took advice from my parents and b/f parents and now i think i'm a great mom. I'm 22 and have 2 kids that i am very proud of. Don't let people make you feel like trash just because you are a young parent. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE. And not the last. Show them how great you can be. Finish school for your kids you will feel so proud that you did. And you wont have to worry about someone having to help you forever. GOOD LUCK!!
I know it is difficult and your life is going to change big time. But you should make your life better for yourself and your child. Stay in school so you can graduate and make something of your self. It is going to be really hard but try to find someone you can talk to like a friend, family member, school counsler so you won't feel so alone. Remember you are goin to be responsible for a child and do everything you can to better both of your lives.
Stay in school and go on to college. There is a ton of aid out there for single parents who are in college. Financial aid pays for your tuition AND for your living expenses. There is also free and low-cost child care for students. This help is out there and it's free for the taking. So take it! Make yourself and your child proud!
jump down the steps numerous times its fun trust me
I had my first child at 17 at first it will be hard because people will tell you don't know what your doing and it can make you mad. Do you have adult that's like a best firend they can be a real big, huge help.
dont do what ANY of these IGNORANT immature ppl are saying on here..i myself is 19 with a 3 month old it was hard at first but not i couldnt be without him.hes the love of my life.i know you might think its going to be hard.it is..but its all worth it
Be honest with yourself, so you feel that you made a mistake, your not ready, or what will other people say? Thats okay though, learn from it and remember that when people point one finger at you there are three pointing back at their own selves. We all will do things that we regret, probably more than once or twice, but if we can learn from these thats the key. Don't get anger, you are worth much and so is the life inside of you, take care and remember God always cares. PSALMS CHAPTER 23- it is great comfort.

By doing this you prove to all those people out there that think ';oh great another on the system'; that not all mistakes are bad mistakes and you are not going to be ';another on the system'; Good luck and I hope you do have understanding and supportive parents :)
no use you already messed up by not using the advice you got before you became pregnant. you wont use these either so why bother
i know ppl who got abortions at the end of the 1st trimester...it'll be better than being talked about in school, and it's a great way to piss off Christians
im 19 and im 25 weeks pregnant! yes yes,it`s really hard! but i don`t think about how hard it is..i think about my baby..the positive things ill get with my baby! i think u know what i mean! having a baby is soo great! it`s a blessing,it`s a gift! not all women can have a baby on their own..so u and i are sOo blessed to have this gift!
i know everything will change when we have a baby..like,no parties,no clubs blah bla..but hey! it`s not bcoz u have already a baby,u cant go and have fun! u can get a way..! and don`t forget that people around u are always there to help u! and once ur cute lil baby angel will be born,u can never say ';hard';..ull just see urself smiling all day long! Congrats and GoodLuck!
GodBless!
Do your best to stay in school. It might not be easy, but you'll be glad you did. If your parents are supportive, they can help out where needed. And just remember that, teen or adult, all kids need loving and someone to depend on.
After reading the answers already given, you got a lot of good stuff there. However, my advice is - for the life of the child (Yes, I am a Christian Catholic, age 56 who never used birth control) do all you can to protect the life you are entrusted with. And remember that this is not a toy, but a responsibility for the first 18 years of this child's life. If you are not ready to handle the responsibility, by all means explore options such as adoption rather than abortion. Parenting is a 100% commitment. Use all the resources you can (family, friends, professionals). They are out there if you do your research. Solicit the help from/communicate with your parents. Obviously it is not the end of the world that a teen is pregnant. At the same time, allow yourself to still be a teen. That doesn't mean you have to quit everything you do to be a parent. Find someone you trust to watch the child for your good as well as the good of the child.
Please, it isn't the child's fault for being conceived. End of sermon.
Stay in school, (as hard as that may be) don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it because if you really want to be a good parent then YOU CAN . If your b/f is not with you still then make him pay the support don't let him get off easy. I became a parent at 16 and i didnt know a thing about kids, I took advice from my parents and b/f parents and now i think i'm a great mom. I'm 22 and have 2 kids that i am very proud of. Don't let people make you feel like trash just because you are a young parent. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE. And not the last. Show them how great you can be. Finish school for your kids you will feel so proud that you did. And you wont have to worry about someone having to help you forever. GOOD LUCK!!
I know it is difficult and your life is going to change big time. But you should make your life better for yourself and your child. Stay in school so you can graduate and make something of your self. It is going to be really hard but try to find someone you can talk to like a friend, family member, school counsler so you won't feel so alone. Remember you are goin to be responsible for a child and do everything you can to better both of your lives.
Stay in school and go on to college. There is a ton of aid out there for single parents who are in college. Financial aid pays for your tuition AND for your living expenses. There is also free and low-cost child care for students. This help is out there and it's free for the taking. So take it! Make yourself and your child proud!
jump down the steps numerous times its fun trust me
I had my first child at 17 at first it will be hard because people will tell you don't know what your doing and it can make you mad. Do you have adult that's like a best firend they can be a real big, huge help.
dont do what ANY of these IGNORANT immature ppl are saying on here..i myself is 19 with a 3 month old it was hard at first but not i couldnt be without him.hes the love of my life.i know you might think its going to be hard.it is..but its all worth it
Be honest with yourself, so you feel that you made a mistake, your not ready, or what will other people say? Thats okay though, learn from it and remember that when people point one finger at you there are three pointing back at their own selves. We all will do things that we regret, probably more than once or twice, but if we can learn from these thats the key. Don't get anger, you are worth much and so is the life inside of you, take care and remember God always cares. PSALMS CHAPTER 23- it is great comfort.
Trying to mentor a troubled teen. Got any advice?
I'm helping a teenager grow to be a mature, responsible adult. At least that's what I hope to do. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was little, and his mother asked me to help him learn how to be a man. So I'm sort of like an big brother to him. I'm concerned about some of the people he hangs out with at school, I know they're not good influences and I want him to know the dangers of getting involved with the wrong crowd. Of course he needs friends his age but I want him to avoid the pitfalls of youthful inexperience. Got any suggestions?Trying to mentor a troubled teen. Got any advice?
Your taking on a huge task here and I commend you for it. To get a teens respect you have to have guidelines and rules of what you will and will not allow. Than you have to show hom that you really care but will not tolerate certain behavior. Let him know when your proud of him and let him know when certain behavior is not tolerated. Make the rewards on his level that he will feel like an adult. Everyone needs a person that they can talk to and feel safe that the talk stays there. Instead of preaching to him about the wrong crowd, find someplace that appeals to him and has a healthy crowd. Good luckTrying to mentor a troubled teen. Got any advice?
Be agood influence on him, and maybe he will see that as more important than his friends' influence. Act responsibly around him. Do fun things with him, like going to concerts and movies, but have your limitations. Don't feel pressured to do anything. Let him know that you are there for him and he can call you or email you anytime he wants to talk. Good luck!
Try figuring out what they like and take the child to places like the mall just do stuff with him/her to get to know them that's how to get to know them!
join scouts, he will enjoy it and so will you if you particpate too, cub scouts start at first grade, and can continue up untill he is 18, then he can become and adult leader
explain to him why u think his friends r wrong for him, and what might happen to him if he hangs out with them. and teach him.
The only thing I can think of, is getting him involved in a BETTER crowd. Also, tell him about your experiences and how you were in his shoes when you were younger. When you talk to him, remember what you were like when you were a teenager and how you responded to counseling and advice from someone who was older. What made you think, ';yeah, yeah, they don't know any better...'; and what made you think, ';oh, maybe this guy is right... maybe I should listen to him.'; Keep these things in mind when you talk to this teenager.
Talk to him. And don't talk down to him. Teens need to pull away from their parents as part of the growing up process, but they still need an adult to help them through life. Find out what is going on with him, what is bothering him. This has worked with me and the teens I have mentored. The feelings are the same. And sometimes you have to take a step back and remember that they are still ';kids'; (ok, the ones I work with are 12-14), and just being exposed to things we are used to, and figuring them out.
Encouraging this man when he does good things is key. Find out what he wants to do with his life, and help him get there. Expose him to things that he isn't getting. You will be amazed at how people will start to make better choices when there is someone they cna trust guiding them along the way.
Become his friend! In soon time he will learn to trust you and when that happens everything will fall into place.
