Please tell me why you think ____ school is the best.... or, you could even tell me which ones you think are terrible. I would just like some input, especially if you attend a college in Ohio. Thanks!

Hey, I'm turning sixteen this year, and I want to have a really awesome party... the problem is that i don't have a lot of close friends, and all these websites with "sweet sixteen ideas" are for big groups of friends. Can you think of something that would be a lot of fun for me and my boyfriend? My birthday is September 1, and its usually still hot out.

For the past year or so, I've gotten depressed very easily. I avoid most people that want to become close to me....I always want to be alone. I have very low self-esteem. My doctor has put me on Celexa, which treats anxiety. But I'm still not back to normal. I still feel...hollow. Has anyone else felt like this before? Does anyone have any suggestions to help get my life back in order??

Okay, so I'm a sophomore, and the girls on my soccer team keep laying into me about EVERYTHING.... cussing at me, yelling at me, for nothing. So next time they try to put me down I wanna have something to say back.

The comeback doesn't even have to be related to soccer. And I dont care if they have cuss words or not. Give me your best.

I have had mono for about a week now and just found out my spleen is enlarged. Soccer season starts in about a month - do you know how long it takes your spleen to go back down to normal?? Thanks!

Well for the past few weeks I've been insanely tired. And I've been getting adequate rest, so I know its not that, and I haven't been sick or anything like that. I've had a dull pounding headache through the duration of this time also, and the fatigue seems to be so bad that I don't feel like doing anything at all. This doesn't sound normal. Any idea what it might be? Do you think I should see a doctor?

I need a website that can show me how much its worth in American money... sort of like a calculator for it... or if you know, please share. It's a 1993 Croatian 100,000 Dinara. Thank you.

I heard it's a lot, but I would like exact resources and quantities.. could you either tell me or direct me towards a website? I want to make people more aware of it. Thanks!

Okay well on Halloween our school is letting us all dress up in costumes, and it's a contest to see who has the best costume. I'd like some good ideas... it has to be modest, and not... geeky or childish. I'm 14 years old, so something good for that age.

Thanks!

Well on Saturday (October 1) I had a friend spend the night at my house who had mono (i forgot she had it)... well today is October 15 and for the past 2 or 3 days I've been very very tired, but I got 8 hours of sleep last night. Could this be mono? They always say the first symptoms are like having the flu, but i don't feel sick at all, and i'm not coughing or sneezing... i'm just very tired. I need to know soon because they say you can't play contact sports if you have mono, and we're going into soccer tournaments!!

Well it's going to be almost a year since my first period, but it seems like a lot has been changing recently with it so.. gotta ask a few questions:

1. What's the best way to prevent breakouts right before my period?? I scrub them, but it doesn't seem to work.. any specific brands, or things to do??

2. I used to not have any severe PMS symptoms.. but this time I'm REALLY moody, and all over the place, and searching my house for chocolate.. is it normal for me to get worse like this?

There used to be a website called www.jogabonita.com or something like that, and it was a soccer website to meet other soccer players, watch videos, message... sort of like a soccer version of myspace. anyone know how to get to it???

i'm only 13 and have been struggling with all sorts of foot, arch, and shin pain.. i've tried different arch supports, seen physical therapists and doctors, and taken medicines... but nothing is effectively working. it is so abnormal for me to have these sort of problems that most people don't know how to fix it.

SO: i heard that there is this thing where you can step on a scale, and it shows you all the places where there is pressure on your feet... then they give you the arch support thats right for you. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN DO THIS????? I need an actual store, not buy it off a website.

I'm 13 years old and i'm 5'6". I started my period for the first time in November. My mom is 5'8" and my dad is 5'9". Do you think I will still grow?

Okay I'm almost 14 and I wear a 32A. I started my first period 7 months ago, and ever since I've been anxiously awaiting to grow some. But just recently my mom said that she was VERY small chested... as in, didn't grow beyond a 32A or 34A.

Is this abnormal? Does this make me any less pretty, or is it weird?

Every other female in my family is about a B to a C. Any chance of getting their genes?

I'm an athlete, supposedly their puberty change is different....

Okay I have been wearing a 32A for a while now... but it's been getting really tight on me. So I tried on a 34A, but the cup size is too big. My mom said that the measurements don't have anything to do with the cup size... so why doesn't the 34A fit me?? Should I wear it anyway, stick with the 32A, or....???

Okay i'm 13 years old. Next month I'm going to be on my period while at Myrtle Beach, so I decided to try out tampons this month so i can use them on vacation.....

I read the directions and did what they said but it hurt SO BAD!

It took me forever to get it in and I was shaking badly... my mom said it hurts to put one in if you're tense. She told me to relax, but HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELAX.. i'm shoving something inside of me!!

I need to know how I can relax, any suggestions???

I'm 13 years old, so it must be age appropriate. Thank you for you help! =]
