GirlsLife.com - I'm not normal!

I am too tall and look older than I am. I have started my period, and the other girls in my class haven’t. Guys in my class act as if they’re scared of me or something. – Too Tall

Dear Short and Tall,

You’re both fine the way you are. Work on accepting your height because you can’t change it. And remember, everyone grows at their own pace. Eventually, short kids stretch a few inches, and tall girls stop growing. I know it’s hard when girls and boys grown at such different rates, but just hang in there! Puberty requires patience.

I've been to a new school for about 5 weeks now and,I kinda really like this guy in my class. Last thursday,in math, we had a sub and nobody did any work the only thing that anybody was doing in the class was trying to hook the 2 of us together.Because they find out that we both like each other. Then that night he added me on facebook.The thing is we don't really know each other.I asked my friend for advice and she told me to write notes to him in class.Math is the only class we sit next to each other in.Yesterday I started to write notes to him.But 2 weeks ago one of my friends in school asked him if he liked me and he said no and then on thur.he said yes to the entire class..?When we were writing notes to each other every body was whispering about us,and obviously we found out.We don't talk in person,and he is the only thing that has been on my mind.I don't know whether he actually does like me,we're both really shy.I want to know if he likes me, and how we could talk with shying out

My birthday party was yesterday. I got a really cute outfit from one of my friends and I want to wear it tomorrow. Do you think it would be weird to wear it so soon? Thanks!

Hey girl, not at all! Your friend would be super flattered to see how much you liked it.

I get this pain on my right side. It's not constant but when it happens it can go on through the day in a stop,go kind of way. I have no idea what this is! My mom has taken my to the docter but she said it was probably just gas. -_- (i dont think it is) It stopped for the most part during the summer but now it started up again. Sometimes it randomly happens when I'm standing for a while or at dance class (ballet). My mom thinks it could be a pulled muscle but since I had it since last year shouldn't it have gone away by now? Sometimes when it gets really bad i almost want to cry. I do have my "." but it doesn't just happen when i have it so i know it's not that. Please help! It makes it really hard to get through things like gym class and dance class. Thanks

Hey girl!

Since I'm not a doctor, I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction with bad advice. Since this pain has come back again, I'd ask mom to take you to the doc one more time, just to make sure everything's ok. I hope you start feeling better soon! xoxoxox

MOD! I think my mom and sister like their dogs more then they love me. But i"m too embarrased to tell them that. Also my closest sister is moving. From New York to Florida! I"m sooooooooooooo sad i wanna cry sooooooo much!

Hey babe!

First of all, I'm sure your mom and sister love you more than their dogs. If they're paying more attention to their pets then you when you need it, say something like, "Hey mom, can you help me with this? I'd really like your opinion." I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help

As for your sister moving - appreciate the rest of the time you have with her until she moves. I live in Baltimore and my sister lives in New Jersey, yet we still talk every day - there's skype, texting, and cell phones for a reason! And my visits home mean a lot more because we spend months planning our perfect days together - we're going to go black friday shopping together soon, and we can't wait! You won't be with your sister in person as much, but you will be able to communicate with her and incorporate her in your life. Good luck! xoxox
