Teens in tanning beds: Yay or nay?

 
New York is currently considering a law that would ban minors from using tanning beds. While civilians and lawmakers alike have been debating tanning for years now, the issue has come to the surface recently thanks to Patricia Krentcil, the NJ mom who reportedly took her 6-year-old daughter to a tanning booth. Though she denies actually letting her child tan, consumer advocates are pointing to this particular situation as being representative of a tanning-obsessed nation.

 

 

The American Cancer Society announced in the last few days that melanoma rates have jumped 72 percent in the last decade—a statistic for which they blame the increase in tanning bed use.

 

Currently, NY prohibits children ages 14 and under from using tanning beds and requires minors between the ages of 14 and 18 to have written parental consent, though officials worry this mandate it not being enforced. While some lawmakers think it’s up to parents to control their kids, others believe a blanket ban on tanning for the under-18 crowd is simply good public health policy. A similar law has been proposed in New Jersey and others are in place in California and Vermont.

 

What do you think of this possible tanning bed ban? Do you use tanning beds to get your summer glow on?

Hello! So I have a sort of dilemma. In about 75 days,school will start again. And I have to buy uniforms. So,now I'm like a size,13 or 11. I need to loose 15 pounds and drop like,a couple of sizes. My goal is maybe a 9? Or even a 7. Is this reasonable??? And I don't want to build more muscle in my thighs because from a side view they're already round from the muscle. I just need to drop to the size I said so it'll be easier to find uniforms!!!! I'm NOT gonna be 13 and in a woman's size. I refuse. But I have no clue what exercises to do. I'm planning on riding my bike and I'm cutting down on portion sizes. But,I don't want to gain bulky muscle and make it worse. I need something that like,would get me legs and stuff like,Sarah Hyland. Can you PLEASE help me go back to the size I originally used to fit in. And sorry this is long. But,I REALLY need help.

 

Hey girl! 

You're definitely right about exercising and eating right; just make sure you stay healthy! Check out this part of the website for some helpful workout tips: http://www.girlslife.com/category/workouts.aspx. Also no matter how much you workout, you may never look like the celebrity you want to. Every girl is built differently, but remember that all shapes and sizes are beautiful!

Totally NAY all the way!!! people don't realize how bad it really is for you, and if a guy judges you on how dark your skin is, he's really not worth it. besides, people in France and some other European countries think that going all natural, pale or tan, is really the best. why can't people in America realize this too!!!!

I tan alllllll year round what i do is that i put on sunscreen and do outside activities on sunny days like riding a bike,taking the dog on a walk,tossing a beach ball around with your besties, or even falling asleep outside! Remember to wear shorts,tank top, and some shades to have fun in the sun. Hope i helped! Xoxo

Mod Mod Mod I haven't had my period in a while!!! I have had it for about three years now. It usually pretty regular and my mom is starting to get worried. She said she is going to take me to the doctor and I am really scared! Could this be serious?




Hey babe,

Your flow won't be regular until years into your period.  It's probably nothing to worry about but it is a good idea for your mom to have it checked out.
