Why am I gaining weight around my period?

 

Check these out, too...

Don’t you just love all this growing-up stuff? Well, fortunately, your weight gain is only temporary. It’s your body retaining water, so it’s normal to pack on a couple of extra pounds, but you’ll shed them as soon as your period is over. To lessen the bloats, avoid salty foods, exercise and, oddly enough, drink more water! It helps to flush the excess fluids out of your system.

MOD?
do you think small businesses in downtown areas of suburbs would hire 14 year olds? cuz i don't do much babysitting and i wanna have some extra money so i can start seriously saving up for college and buy more of the things that i want- i always feel bad when my parents buy me clothes and things for some reason cuz i know we could be using the money for something else that's more important. so what kind of places do you think would hire 14 year olds? and how do i handle asking if they're hiring and stuff?




Hey girlie, businesses no, there are laws that prohibit the employment of minors. I think you have to be at least 18 for a job in a downtown business area. Around my area giants hire 14 to 15 years olds, snowball stands, and some fastfood restraunts at 16
