GirlsLife.com - Do you know what's crashing your pool party? Germs!

Hey PinkDancerBabe, just try to help your friend out as much as possible. I'm sure she know her chances might be slimmer since she hasn't had any dance training. And if she doesn't make it, encourage her to find something else she enjoys doing. Maybe singing or acting. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I am going into junior high next year with my best friend and the school has a dance team. I do a lot of dance! I do tap, jazz, hip hop, and ballet. This summer I have a personal trainer who was on the dance team but is going into high school. Me and my best friend BOTH want to get on the team, and honestly, I'm worried. Because I want us to BOTH be on the team, but she doesn't do dance and so she might not get on! You know when people say "Oh it's fine if I don't get in" or something but you know that they actually feel really bummed out? Well that's how I feel. But my BFF is always like "Well, if you have a trainer, you need to train me after you learn the stuff" and I think that woud be too hard because I am jsut learning the routines and stuff. What should I do? Lynae P.

The camp I used to go to had a public pool. Though this was a few years ago, I can still remember the day none of us were allowed to go swimming due to the fact that some kid "dropped a bomb" in the pool. And by "bomb", I do not mean a type of explosive. How's that for another reason not to go swimming in community pools?

Yeah, pools have always kind of grossed me out. A lot of times I have a water gun fight instead.

I have posted my comment AGAIN and I still haven't seen it posted! I really really need an Answer!

Hey girl,

I've answered all questions posted from 1:00am til now. So if you have checked where you posted your comment and you don't see it, that means we didn't get it. We got this one though!

by bubbles3956 on 6/10/2012 10:28:15 AM

@miaboo123
i have these on the backs of my arms. They are where your skin has grown over the hair follicles. Use a exfoliating lotion with alpha-hydroxy in it. This will remove the overgrown skin.
If you need anything else come to my advice queen page.

So first off, over the past week or two I've asked at least 3 questions and not a single one got posted/answered. So PLEASE answer this one. I have these little white bummps all over my arms. It's not a rash. I think it's like pores clogged with dead skin or something. My mom says she used to get them, and my friend's sister gets them too. She uses something to get rid of them, but I'm not sure what. Do you have any idea what I could use to get rid of them? BTW if I like scratch at them, they kind of come off. Thanks! please answer!

Hey girlie,

Hmm, we're not sure exactly what this could be. This article might help, but the BEST thing to do is listen to your mom since she's experienced it before. How did she get rid of them? Did she know what they were called? Did she ever go to the doctor for them? If she can't answer these questions, you should make an appointment to chat with your doctor (or a dermatologist) about it. That way, you get professional advice and can find a safe way to remove them! <3

So I want to lose about 10 pounds and I was wondering how much exercise I really need to lose weight? I know how to eat healthy but I dont know how much exercise! Should I get more cardio or more strenghth?!?!? Also I found a workout app and if I use it everyday (it's a half an hour) will that work combined with running 3-4 times a week and healthy eating? Thanks!

You should combine a great balance of cardio and strength. (This can be strength exercises one day, jogging or biking or kickboxing the next day.) And you should exercise regularly so you develop the "habit" and stick with your plan. 4-5 days a week is perfect! Just make sure that the workout app is challenging you and you don't become bored with it because your bod has adjusted to the challenge. If you need to, mix things up and don't be afraid of something that seems hard! <3 Work up the endurance and see where it takes you. It's AWESOME you're revamping your life and trying to be healthy!!

Last year my mom decided to get me my own pool in our backyard because she heard about all the germs. We get our pool water tested every week

by Laxchic2 on 6/9/2012 2:27:46 PM

by Laxchic2 on 6/9/2012 2:27:08 PM

Here are some pool tips:
- Always shower before you get in the water.
- Wearing a cap or at the very least pulling your hair into a ponytail when you're swimming laps will help.
- Spray your hair with water before you get into the pool.
- Wash your hair as soon as you get out of the water.

i'm so sick of everyone complaining about germs. a little bacteria is not going to kill you. and wouldn't public pools shut down if people were dying just from swimming in the water for an hour? please...

by guitargirl7321 on 6/9/2012 12:14:50 PM

In April my sister and my BFF visited from 500 miles away, the pool wasn't open so we went in out backyard and shot the hose up in the air then turned it off really quick so it looked like it was raining! We seriously passed the hose around doing that for half an hour!

Hey musicismylife198, I just think you were really sad about school being over and I completely understand. You are leaving your friends for a few months and you won't be able to have fun with your classmates. No worries friend them on Facebook or see if you can get anyone's number. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My dad has worked so hard on our pool this year, because something was wrong and it kept being gross and foggy. Now it's better(: he takes water samples to the pool store and they'll test it for free.
