hey ok so i have a really important problem. im 12, and im trying to lose weight. so now i bet ur thinking, "oh, your such a little girl, you dont need to lose weight! i bet you're like 110 pounds!!" well im not. im 175. and thats BAD. unhealthy. and i hate how im so fat too. i dont look as fat as i am, because im really tall so the fat is, uh, i guess, spread out around my body, but i still look fat. i have love handels and big thighs and most people think im 15 or 16. so anyway, ive been trying to lose weight, and ive told a few of my friends, but theyre all "oh you dont need to lose weight!! you're growing its kinda just gonna backfire. it wont work anyway." so now im stuck. should i not worry about it till im 15 and endure this deppressing fact for 3 more years? or can i actually lose weight now? i have gotten my period, idk if that has anything to do with weight, but just in case it does, yeah. so please help!! i really wanna slim down for spring/summer 2013!!

 

MOD MOD MOD MOD!
Okay im done with waiting! I'm in 8th grade now and I STILL haven't gotten my period. Is there something wrong with me? Everyone of my friends has gotten theres except me! and all of my friends make fun of me because i'm small chested. HELP PLEASE!

 

Hey! I know it seems like it's taking forever, but I promise you will get your period. Try not to focus on it too much and it won't upset you. If your friends tease you, either ignore them or ask them why they think it's so funny. Good luck and hang in there! 

MOD I'm a sophomore nd I'm on varsity soccer team nd then a new girl came a few weks ago nd took my spot nd is being so mean to me! I got moved down to JV nd I asked the coach y I got moved down bc I felt like I shld  know y since I worked really hard to get on varsity nd then I got n huge trouble for tht w the head coach nd almost got kicked off nd then a few days ago we had a game nd my coach said I could play w varsity tht game and then he had me sit the bench the whole time nd then yesterday we had another game nd he told me to play w varsity again nd I sat the bench for a while and toward the end I asked if I could play nd he told me if I ask that again he would kick me off the whole soccer program then he told the head coach who got even more mad at me idk what to do! I just want to transfer so bad! I've come home crying everyday the past few weeks idk how to handle this even my parents don't know what to do!

Maybe you could schedule a meeting with your parents and the coaches to discuss why you're on JV and what you can do? They might have gotten upset by your asking if they thought you were being negative about being on the JV team, but if you work really hard maybe you can play some games on varsity. If you're on the bench, at least you're a part of the varsity game, but I totally get why that would be upsetting! If this girl is mean to you and you're crying, though, you should definitely talk to your parents about bringing it up with the coach and finding a solution that works for everyone.

MOD MOD o my problem is that I'm nervous persenting to my class.

It's totally normal to be nervous before a class presentation, but the good news is that everyone else is probably nervous, too! Imagine you're only saying these things to your friends and not to the whole class and you'll be less nervous. You can also practice your presentation on your friends or family to get more comfortable with it!
