Lose a pound, gain a pound?

I’m 10 years old and I just hit puberty. I know you’re supposed to start gaining weight, but I’ve noticed that one day I gain a pound, and the next I lose it. Should I be worried?

 

Puberty is a crazy stage in every girl’s life. There’s really no such thing as normal when it comes to puberty, babe, so worrying about every little thing that sets you apart from the way your friends are going through it or the way your mom went through it is needless.

 

What you’re seeing on the scale, this gain-a-pound, lose-a-pound phenomenon, is probably just slight changes in your water weight. Everyone’s body holds on to a certain amount of water to make all of the chemical processes in our bodily systems work properly. Depending on what you eat and drink throughout the day, sometimes you lose a little bit of water weight, and sometimes you gain it. Dropping a pound (or gaining a pound) every day is insignificant, so don’t fret! Your water weight could vary by several pounds each day.

Moderator: I have a really bad case of acne, I know I do and I am working on getting my face cleared up so I can start looking pretty, but it really takes a toll on my confidence when people point it out or make fun of it. Isn't it wrong when people do this? As an example, today we had a substitute and class so I was getting a pass to the bathroom .. I had my hand on my face and she took my hand off my face , she was like what happened to your face? It is all rough and dry looking . Did you get sunburn real bad this summer? I never sunburn, I just have a bad complexion . This is how my skin looks every single other day . How can i overcome this insecurity and am I right that it is wrong to judge people because they have a lot of zits?

Ok, so me and my friend are going as eachother for Halloween! We get to dress up at school so it will be pretty obvious to our frieds what we are. But we aren't going trick or treating together so I'm scared that when people see my cotume it's just going to just look weird :/ Should I buy a separate costume?
Please Please answer back!

My Grandma had to adopt my Mom becuase she didn't have any ovaries. She found it out because at 15 she still didn't have her period. Even though she's not my real grandma, i think I have it too! My mom got hers when she was 9 and i'm 11 and still havn't gotten minne. I don't want to dissapoint my mom or myself by not being able to have kids. How do I know? Frown




Hey girl, you'll be able to have kids someday, trust me. Periods are unpredictable, but you're taking care of yourself, and it'll come someday. You'll get yours soon enough. Just know for now you can't predict it and keep a pad on you or two so you're ready.
