Help! Life is just too hard

 

Check these out, too...

  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • 10 things to tell your mom anytime
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?

 

 

For a while, I felt like I had everything anyone could ever want: awesome friends, no pimples (yay!) and a great family. Then everything changed. My parents got divorced, my dag began to ignore me, and my mom got cancer and is in the hospital. She says that it’s her medication that’s making her hair fall out. I don’t want to talk to anyone about it, not even my best friends. I’m so sad.

 

 

Dear Can’t Take It,

I’m not surprised you’re upset. It’s hard when someone you love is in the hospital, and I’m sure your mom doesn’t like being sick either. She’d rather be there for you and be strong for you. That said, try to accept your sadness (it’s normal under these circumstances) and tell her you’re worried and that you love her.

 

You’re mom’s hair is probably falling out because of chemotherapy, but often chemo can make all the difference. Confide in a relative or a teacher you can trust, and don’t shut out your closest friends. You don’t have to spill anything you’re not comfortable with, but letting others in on how you’re feeling will be freeing. Promise. And can you get a hold of your dad and let him know that you need and want him in your life? I hope your family gets better news soon.

well i asked a question on how to loose thigh weight fast and they said to like do lunges and squats, i think. How long should i do them for? Also ,i have another question, are there any fruits or veggies that can make you loose(or gain) weight? THANKS!

 

Hey girlie, you can't target weight loss in certain areas. But lunges and squats will build muscles in your thighs and burn more calories. Do 15-20 at a time, rest for a couple minutes and do them again until you get tired. Eating more fruits and vegetables in general will help you be healthier and lose weight.

Do you have any workouts that work arms, legs, and core at the same time???

 

Hey girlie, cardio is your best all over workout. Whether you're running, walking or even doing something as simple as jumping jacks, you're working your whole body.

Okay, so whenever I sit, my thighs are big and I become really self conscientious. Please help!!!.

 

Hey girl! Don't feel self conscious about it! Thighs are big muscles, so when you sit down, they relax and expand. It's okay it happens to everyone!
