Why is my voice changing? I thought that only happened to guys!

I'm 15 years old, and I definitely have hit puberty. When I talk, sometimes my voice gets high, like a young boy going through puberty. I don’t know why this happens. My brother makes fun of me, and it’s embarrassing when I'm talking to my friends. Why does my voice do this?

 

It’s typical for guys and girls to experience changes in their voice as they grow up. Boys, however, experience a much greater change than girls. Most chicas’ voices become just a smidge deeper, while boys’ can skip octaves!

 

What’s happening to your bod? All of this change is caused by your larynx. Before you hit puberty, it’s pretty small. But as hormones like testosterone start pulsing through your body, is begins to grow, making your vocal chords longer and thicker than they used to be. Since boys’ bodies produce more testosterone, they experience a greater change. As you get used to your maturing body, your voice might squeak or croak at really awkward times. There’s not a whole lot you can do about it right now, but rest easy, babe—this phase will be over soon!

I have a problem with the hair on my arms. My skin tone is a lot more fair than the average person and I have dark brown hair. The hair on my arms is EXTREMELY noticeable. I have hair bleach for my upper lip, but Im worried if I bleach my arms, its too dramatic of a change. I dont wanna shave them cause my mom said I shouldn't and I don't wanna feel the scratchy new hair growing in. But my friend shaved her arms once (she had dark hair on her arms too) but now that's its grown in, you can barely notice it. All the peeps in my class would make fun of my arms... what should I do?
<3




Hey girl, is it really as noticeable as you think? Chances are it's not. Remember, you see your arm close up, but your classmates don't. Trust me when I say it's more unusual for you to not have hair on your arms than to have it. Leave them as they are and don't sweat it. Remember, sometimes you're your own biggest critic.

I barely ever drink water. On an average day I might drink at the most 1 and a half to 2 glasses of water. My mom said I really should because she's had her share of kidney stones and I get constipated extremely easily. It's not like I don't like the taste of water, I just don't drink it. I don't really drink any fluids in the day anyways. Maybe 3 full glasses all together. Is there anything I can substitute for water that would keep me as healthy as if I were drinking it a lot?




Hey girl,

Try drinking decaf tea, milk, coconut water, or water with lemon! You HAVE to make an effort to drink more than this each day. Our bodies need to be hydrated in order to stay healthy, energetic, and in shape. Try not to drink soda, sugary juices and sports drinks, or coffee to replace this liquid. Water is really the best!!

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

If you’re on a diet and you’re really, really craving something, go ahead and eat it. You’ll be able to reinforce your diet longer if you don’t view it as oppressive.
