Banish bad breath

My breath smells REALLY bad all of the time. I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day and constantly chew mints. Why does it smell still this way and how can I get rid of it?

 

Hey sweetie! Bad breath totally, er, stinks. Also called halitosis, that funky odor is caused by bacteria and left over food decaying in your mouth—yuck! Before you freak, it’s reassuring to know that about 90 million people suffer from chronic bad breath and there are lots of ways to stop the stink.
 
If your toothbrush and mints strategy just isn’t enough, there are lots of other options. An easy switch? Replace mints with gum, which triggers saliva production, your best bet for cleaning out your mouth. Still struggling with the stench? Pick up a waterpick at your local drugstore for a better clean, or grab fluoride toothpaste to step your teeth cleaning up a notch – don’t forget to brush your tongue (it’s a sneaky hiding spot for gross bacteria to grow).
 
If nothing works, see a dentist about the possibility of cavities or tooth decay. And remember, bad breath is nothing to be embarrassed about, and you should feel comfortable expressing your concerns to a doctor or your parents. Good luck, girl!

Hey girl, you cannot lose that much weight realistically in four days or even four weeks. It needs to be very gradual and it's something you need to consult with your doc about before you go for it. Your mom is right: it's all about exercise and healthy eating, and how you're going to implement that to lose a sizable amount of weight over time has to be planned carefully with your doc. So set up an appointment and see what you can do safely. You can do it, but it'll take hard work and time.

MOD- I dont have my period yet, and Im 13! Is this normal???




Hey girly!

Don't stress! Some girls don't get their periods until their 16 or 17, so you're not alone. It'll come when your body's ready!

MOD MOD!
I just had my period and I'm confused. Its really, really light. It's smaller than the size of a penny.
Is this normal?
Thanks!!




Hey girl, sounds like it may be spotting, something that can happen right before your period begins. I'd have a pad ready because your flow may get thicker soon!

Mod mod mod, ok so the other say I tried on my school skirt and it didn't fit! I was really mad, but I was wondering if u had any ideas for losing a a few pounds, I know that u probably think that ilosing weight is not the best thing to do, but then again I am NOT the skinniest kid. Also, school goes back in about a week so if u have any ideas on what to do about the skirt situation. Also my school shirts were a little snug, so if u know of any places to buy good quality cheap white collared shirts that would be awesone! Thanks! Smile




JCPenney is great for collared shirts Smile  Until then, see if your mom can get you a few "back-up" skirts. As far as weight, your best bet is to eat healthy, exercise and drink plenty of water and talk to your doctor prior to making any changes to your habits.
