How can I improve my 400 time in track?
Okay so my strategy is too go fast the first 200, build the next 100, and then go all out the last 100. I'm not a 400 runner, (I'm 800 and mile) but I will be in the 4x400 relay this season, and I want to get better at it because last year I was kicked off of the 4x400 relay because I was the slowest leg, and they replaced me with someone else. As of right now, I'm the 2nd fastest on the relay but I don't want to lose my place. Any advice? I notice that my finishes aren't that good in the 400, so does anyone have any advice on how I can improve that?
3 AnswersRunning7 years agoHow do I stop pushing people away?
I don't know why I keep pushing people away. I mean, I just don't trust anyone. I literally do not trust anybody.
For example, as soon as this guy I liked started to flirt with me and stuff, I just pushed him away even though I still really like him. But I'm just like scared to like him.
I don't really have any idea. Can someone help? Thank you in advance :)

I don't want the answers to my homework. I just don't know what a, b, and c mean in this equation (I'm sorry if I sound really dumb right now, but I was absent and I need to catch up on my homework and I really don't understand it that well). Thank you in advance!
1 AnswerHomework Help7 years agoI don't want to friends with this girl anymore?
This girl is so clingy! She texts me a hundred times every day! It is so annoying! And she follows me around like I'm her seeing eye person or something.
And the thing is I barely even know her! She tries to copy me.
And recently, she told me that. She has been starving herself. Except the thing is, she posts this stuff on the Internet and everyone else sees it. I used to have an eating disorder, and I would have never done that. She has told at least a dozen people, and then lies to my face by saying I'm the only person she has told this to. And it's all she ever talks about to anyone and I'm sick of it. She is just doing it for attention, and I know that. When I starved myself, I didn't post it all over the Internet and tell the whole grade because I didn't want anyone to know.
I don't want to be her friend anymore. Am I just being mean for thinking that?
2 AnswersFriends8 years agoI want to go to this boarding school, but I'm scared! Help?
I received a letter from Mercersburg Academy yesterday. It's a private boarding high school in Pennsylvania. But understand this: they send out a little less than 2000 letters to over 30 different nations, and about 26 different states in America. But only about 180+ get accepted after the interview and the application. They want me to swim for their team, and they want me for my academic scores also. But I'm a little bit scared. What if I don't get in? What of we can't afford it? Our family is in bankruptcy, and unless we can get this scholarship that pays the tuition, boarding, etc. I might not even be able to respond to the letter. And if I did go, I would miss so many people. I'm scared they would forget me. What should I do? This is an Amazing opportunity and I don't want to bomb it.

6 AnswersMakeup8 years agoEveryone makes fun of me for having small boobs?
Hi im lexee and im 13. Even my mom, siblings and my friends make fun of me for having small boobs. It didnt bother me at first, but after a while of being bullied by everyone who is supposed to love you it gets kind of sad. I have an super athletic body type. I have no curves. I just wish everyone would stop making fun of me. I've tried to stand up for myself but it did t work. If anyone has any KIND advice I woul live you forever :)
5 AnswersOther - Skin & Body8 years agoI am afraid to look attractive?
I don't know exactly why. But every time I look at myself in the mirror with a new shirt or something, and I see that I look good, I immediately take it off and put a baggy shirt and athletic shorts on, so people won't
I'm just don't really think anything could ever look good on me because of my body type. I'm athletic, and I am really muscular. I'm kinda short, and I have small (A34) breasts. I kinda look like the swimmer girls at the Olympics, except about a foot or two smaller.
By the way I'm only 13 teenager so I understand if you don't want to answer now because "blah blah blah you don't need to worry you're only a teenager". if you're just gonna be mean to me then don't bother to answer.
Thank you in advance for answering :)
4 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style8 years agoWhy does it SEEM that everyone hates small breasts?
Like, everyone makes fun if me, but I'm only thirteen, my boobs shouldn't even be big. And I'm very athletic (runner and swimmer) so I'm pretty fit (but i dont look like those swimmers at the Olympics). It just seems like everyone is against me just because I have small boobs (A34). Even my mom and my siblings make fun of me. Even my best friend! What's is so bad about having small boobs? I just want to punch them all in the face.
4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture8 years agoWhat's wrong with me? I've never had a boyfriend?
I'm only thirteen so I don't plan on having a boyfriend until junior/senior year in high school. But it's just that all my friends and I mean ALL my friends have been asked out and have had boyfriends before. AGAIN, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING A BOYFRIEND, IM ONLY 13. People say I'm really pretty but I don't know maybe they're just saying that. i know I'm smart. I don't know my IQ level but my reading grade level is 12.9 and I haven't started 8th grade yet, which will be in a few weeks. I also took algebra in seventh grade. I think guys might just be afraid if my personality. I'm really outgoing and funny and really crazy and weird around people I know, but I'm extremely shy around people I don't really know. I shower regularly, deodorant, stuff like that. I'm a runner and a swimmer, so I guess I'm pretty fit (but swimming makes my boobs really tiny :/). Just in case you didn't read the first two times, I don't want a boyfriend for a while. I just want to know why I have never even been asked out when everyone else my age has :/
4 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoMy friend makes fun of me for my small boobs?
At first I didn't even have any boobs, and she made fun of me for it in front of everyone and I mean EVERYONE. Now that I have boobs, she makes fun of me for having small ones in front of EVERYBODY. I act like I don't care, hoping that maybe she would stop because she wasn't getting my attention, but that clearly hasn't worked. She tries to make me feel bad, I swear. I mean, I know friends joke around and make fun of each other, but should it really be this bad? I really want to slap her in the face. She acts so conceited. She's always like "I have a nice body, you got nothing". "I have a B36 cup size. Haha you only have an A34". I want to be her friend, but I don't want her to make fun of me. You have to understand she is impossible to reason with and takes everything I say out of context. Help please

1 AnswerOther - Social Science8 years agoI think I'm in a swimming plateau?!?
I'm crying right now. Because everyone else is getting better and faster and I haven't even gotten a best time since the beginning of march. I'm really upset and worried and scared. I work my butt off at practice every day, and I'm confident when I race, but then I see my time on the board and I've gained ten seconds in my 200 free, or 4 seconds in my 100 back. I don't put pressure on myself, and I put every ounce of strength I have into all my races. I just don't understand. I just turned thirteen a few months ago. I'm just so upset that I haven't improved in such a long time and everyone else is just dropping time just like that. Please help.
1 AnswerSwimming & Diving8 years agoI need to drop about a second in my 100 backstroke (long course meters)?
I have an aggressive stroke and my coaches say I don't need to worry about technique because I've perfected my stroke. Do you think my fast skin will help at all? I'm thirteen years old, female. My turns and start are also very aggressive. I personally think I need to have a better breakout at the wall at the other end. So any advice? Will my fast skin help? I haven't used it all season.
1 AnswerSwimming & Diving8 years agoHow can I improve my 100 backstroke time?
I need to drop about a second in my long course 100 backstroke time. Backstroke is my best stroke, and my coaches do say that my form is great and I don't need to worry about that.
My 'strategy' is to just save a tiny-bit (by tiny i mean the smallest of margins) of energy for the last 50. And as soon as my legs start to hurt, i try even harder to kick and move my arms. This strategy helped me drop two seconds, which is pretty amazing for me, considering I've 'perfected' my backstroke. But I guess it's not exactly a strategy...
I'll also be putting on a fast skin to swim the 100 back this weekend (I haven't worn my fast skin all season).
I will be swimming it as a race, and I will be signing up to swim it at time trials the same day.
My coaches have told me I need a little work on my start before, but they haven't told me that lately, so I don't know. Also, I think I need to have better underwater breakouts, too. My turn, finish and my stroke are very aggressive.
My coach tells me my splits are great.
Any advice would be helpful. :)
And if there are any rude or mean comments I will report you, cuz I'm not playing around.
Thank you in advance 8)
2 AnswersSwimming & Diving8 years agoI don't know if I'm spotting or I'm on my first period. +would it be safe to wear a tampon then?
Okay I woke up this morning and there was bloody stuff coming out of "you know where" and so I put toilet paper there and about every half hour to an hour, there is about as much blood as the size of a quarter or a nickel. But now that I have a pad on, I haven't seen anything yet. Is it spotting? Or am I on my period? Would it be safe to put in a tampon for around two hours? Please don't be mean.
2 AnswersWomen's Health8 years agoI'm scared to put in a tampon!?
I don't have a choice because I'm a swimmer and I swim twice a day for two hours at a time, 5 days a week. I'm really scared to put in a tampon! What if the string breaks? Or what if the string go inside you too? Please don't be mean. I found my "hole" I guess but I'm still scared! Will it hurt?
5 AnswersWomen's Health8 years agoI think I'm having my first period?
I don't really know, though. I woke up this morning, and I saw blood coming out of "there". I was at my grandparents house at that time so I couldn't really contact my mom. I put toilet paper in my underwear to catch the bleeding.
But it just seems too light to be a period. It's pretty obvious it's blood, but I don't know.
Help please?
6 AnswersWomen's Health8 years agoI still can't sleep with my lights off and I'm 13?
No, I don't mean a nightlight. I mean that the lights in my room are actually on. I can sleep at my friends' house with the lights off. But in my room, I just can't stand it. When I was younger, my mom would come in and turn the lights off, and I would wake up seconds afterwards, and turn them back on. My mom just doesn't bother now. No one I know sleeps with the lights on. Is this normal? Could this also be the cause of my insomnia? I swear on my life and cross my heart a thousand times, I'm not scared of the dark. Is there any psycology behind this? I just don't get it.
9 AnswersOther - Environment8 years agoLate bloomer vs. early bloomer?
I guess I'm kind of biased on this subject because I was a late bloomer but what are your opinions? Which do you think is better?
Honestly, I wish I was an early bloomer because I was always jealous of them. They were so beautiful, and boys were always flirting with them, and they seemed to be the popular ones. I looked like a seven year old compared to my best friends, who were so curvy, and pretty. And then you look at me, and I was just...there. I looked so ugly compared to them. And it brought down my self esteem. I just wished I was as awesome as they were.
I know if you're an early bloomer, everyone stares at you and whatever, but from a late bloomer's point of view, it was only because we were jealous, and the boys drooled over you. (Not literally, you know what I mean)
Enough about me! What are your opinions?
