I m about to leave school and I don t start uni until September. I d like to spend the summer getting fit. I used to run and be really into healthy eating but I got shin splints too many times and stopped running, and I ve been so busy it s been hard to eat healthy. I m going on holiday in July and I d like to look a bit better.

I m 17 years old, 5"6 and about 9 stone. I m not looking to loose a huge amount of weight, just a little and hopefully get a little more toned too. Can I achieve this by walking a lot? I loved running but I m scared of getting shin splints again- I ve tried everything and still get them. From May- September id be able to go on a decent walk everyday.

I m hoping I can lose weight mostly through my diet. I m really into fruit and veg and not a fussy eater so I d manage ok. But what should I be eating? Could someone give me a typical meal plan?

I'm also hoping that eating clean again will improve my skin, because it's been terrible lately. Probably due to crap food and stress.

I d say I want to lose a little less than a stone- do you think that s possible by July? Thanks

I've never had sex so it can't be an STI. It's red, sore and itchy with some white discharge. I refuse to go to the doctor, I'm 17. Please help!!

My skin was always clear, until recently. I'm 17, hit puberty years ago and my skin was still clear. Recently I've been stressed due to exams and my skin is so spot prone and my pores are always clogged. Torn between the magnitone lucid facial cleansing brush and the clarisonic Mia 2 sonic cleansing system? Reviews for both are good, but the first is cheaper

I like him, he liked me a lot last year. For a number of reasons we stopped talking, he got a gf (who seemed scarily similar to me), and I moved on.

Couple weeks ago he says he regrets ever stopping talking and always wonders what would've happened if we had worked out. He still has a gf at this point and says he really wants us to be friends. I said wouldn't it bother his gf he said they probably won't last, but we'd just be friends so how could it bother her?

Then we find out his gf cheated on him. I said I was always there if he needed to talk and he said he appreciated it. We've spoken a little since thenn, but he stopped replying on Friday (it's now Monday) and we haven't spoken since. It wasn't like he ignored my message, the conversation just came to an end.

He's meeting his ex gf tomorrow to talk, but I can't imagine them getting back together (I don't think she wants to).

Our mutual friends say he still has feelings for me, but I don't want to seem to keen or be used as his rebound.

I just want to talk to him, as friends but I feel like it's complicated now. Should I message him today or wait until I find out what happens with his ex tomorrow?

I'm asking because I think it takes me a long time, and I want to know how long it takes others. Obviously if it's someone I don't really know and don't see often, I might kinda fancy them one day and be over it a week later. But I mean real crushes, people you know and talk to. They generally take me like a year to get over, unless I meet someone else.

This guy REALLY liked me last October, and we spoke and got on really well. But it never worked out, he got a gf, they lasted 6 months and they just split up because she cheated.

I still talk to the guy as friends (he was the one who wanted to be friends). I like him, do you think he still feels anything?

We are 16 &17, we spoke last year.

Anyways last week he messaged me for the first time in months saying he's sorry we ever stopped talking. (It was no ones fault) he said he wanted to be friends. I asked if his girlfriend would be ok with it and he said they weren't getting on anyway, he couldn't see how us talking could cause any more trouble because it was just as friends.

So we've been talking as friends. Then his girlfriend cheated on him and didn't tell him. He found out and they broke up. I sent him a message saying that I hope he's alright and I'm here if he wants to talk, but he hasn't replied because he's on holiday and doesn't get good wifi.

I like him, a lot and he said he really liked me (referring to when we spoke last year). My friends think he still does.

He's really a lovely, moral guy and absolutely not a player. I don't know if he likes me, but he talks to me a bit differently our mutual friends, like he's really interested in our conversations.

I really do mean what I said to him, I want to be there for him and be a good friend. But at some point, I also want more.

What do I do?!! Help

We were almost dating last year. Basically we both messed up and allowed our friends to influence us rather than just doing what WE wanted.

I guess he thought I was done with him (I guess I seemed pretty serious but I wish he'd fought harder, but he didn't know me well enough to know that's what I would've wanted), another girl showed interested and they've been dating six months.

There's no denying he has/ had genuine feelings for her BUT at the start of their relationship our mutual friend kept telling me he "still cared" about me and again now he's been telling her that he still cares (whatever that means), really regrets what happens between us and often thinks about what would've happened if we never stopped talking and he never started dating his girlfriend.

Our mutual friend also said that him and his girlfriend and struggling right now, and that she treats him like sh*t.

I really really like him and care about him, he's honestly the loveliest guy I've ever met, and he keeps telling our mutual friend he really really liked me and somehow I feel that maybe he still does (otherwise why would he bring it up now?!). I'd treat him so much better than his girlfriend does and we are so perfectly suited.

I'd never want to cheat and I don't want to be the reason he breaks up with his girlfriend but I couldn't bare just being his friend.

UPDATE- we are now talking as friends but I like him??

Help! What do I do?

I really really like him and care about him, and he keeps telling our mutual friend he really really liked me etc and someone I feel that maybe he still does (otherwise why would he bring it up now?!). I'd treat him so much better than his girlfriend does and we are perfectly suited for each other.

I'm 16 and only a B but my mum has huge boobs. I've had my period for over a year, does that mean I've stopped developing?

I'm 16, never had a serious boyfriend before. Last year I started a new school and this girl started talking to me. Turns out she friended me because her guy friend liked me and was too scared to talk to me. Me and the guy started talking for a few weeks. He made me really happy but I was scared (I'm really not into sharing feelings etc). I cancelled a date and convinced myself I didn't like him. I was just scared. But we kept talking, taking it slow getting to know each other. We weren't dating. Anyway one night he tells me he drunk kissed some girl at a party and he was so sorry because he wanted to be a man for me and commit to me. I said it was ok (I was a bit hurt but I told him we weren't dating he didn't have to apologise!). I told my friends and they told me I should be mad at him so I was. We stopped talking.

Not long later he started dating another girl I'm kinda friends with. I was totally hurt. Our mutual friend said he still had feelings for me. We tried being friends but it never worked out.

Yesterday our mutual friend showed me messages he'd sent her while tipsy. He said he was beginning to doubt his feelings for his gf, he still cares about me and he regrets what happened with us and wished he could go back in time and change it.

I was over him (or maybe I'd just distracted myself) but him saying that to my friend brought it all back. If he has feelings for me, and I do for him, and he's doubting his feelings for his girlfriend, should I do something?

My sister went back to uni and left a tub of moisturiser. She said it was good and I should try it. She never specified if it was for face or body and its in a tub that looks like it's for the face.

So I've been using it on my face and loving it. It keeps my skin really clear and is amazing when I have breakouts. Nothing I've ever used has been that good. I've noticed it's really not that moisturising though, if I have bad dry skin it does nothing for it.

After using it for weeks I've noticed today it said 'Not recommended for facial use'. It's a body moisturiser!! Is it ok to keep using it on my face? Obviously I've had no visible negative effects

I've lost my work trousers. They are given to us by the company so I can't buy another pair. I have looked EVERYWHERE. There is no explanation for them going missing. I haven't lost any other clothes. I haven't stayed at any friends houses and left them there. I remember seeing them in my washing basket and reminding myself to get them washed early the next morning in time for work. When I went to wash them they were gone. I do remember deciding whether or not to wash them. If I'd decided not to I would have left them sitting out but I can't fine them I have emptied out all my drawers/ wardrobe and my mums room and the washing basket and any places clothes could be. There is literally NO explaination for where they have gone. I'm going to get sent home unpaid if I go without them again. Help!!!!!

I wanted to do a juice cleanse and make the juices myself. I know you have to include certain things in them to ensure you get enough nutrients.

I looked on several different websites and they ALL list basically the same recipes. Do I have to follow those? I don't like the sound of some of them. Or can I change them slightly so they are easier to drink? I.e. Miss out ingredients or swap for something similar

I'm booked in for next week to get HD brows for the first time. I currently just get them waxed and draw them in with a pencil. They're dark blonde and I like them pretty defined.

Will I still need to draw them in once I get HD brows? Would I be better to use the HD brow powder/ pencil?

There are six of us, 16/17 year old girls. R became friends with us because she fell out with her other friends and had no one to sit with at school. P was friends with S when they were kids and S's mum made her invite P to things. H S and I have been friends about 3 years and the others have joined over time.

It was really fun at first, we all got on and had a laugh because we hardly knew eachother. Now I know them all so well, and I do care for them, I'd never wish them harm but sometimes, even though I have these close friends, I still feel so alone.

R can be dumb & is religious & clashes with P who is gay. P always undermines me because she's overly affectionate with her long distance gf. I say it's cringey & she says I don't 'understand'. S is really caring but can be a bit posh and judgemental. H is a bit stuck up and patronising. H & S struggle to have fun. E is my best friend and I love her but if we fall out she knows how to hurt me. And she's got a boyfriend now and has no time for me yet sees him all the time. And despite her saying otherwise, I feel like she always chooses her other best friend over me. I.e she's travelling to/ sitting with her at prom and not me and the girls.

I spend a lot of time with R, and I love her but it's not a very deep friendship. Would she be there for me in a fine of need? I'm not sure.

I've been watching Skins and they're such good friends despite their differences. I feel like we aren't like that. Is that really friendship?

I'm a 16 year old girl so I've been shaving under my arms for a few years. But I can almost NEVER get it perfect.

On deodorant adverts etc, their underarm skin looks like the skin on their face. Mines doesn't. Even when I shave really well and it feels smooth, there are still black dots visible (really really really short hairs). I can't shave them.

Please someone talk me through shaving to get them like all those women on deodorant adverts.

I've heard a lot about them recently but I've never used them. My lips aren't really dry but they aren't soft and smooth either and I think I'd really benefit.

The ones on lush look good but they're all nicely flavoured and I often think flavoured cosmetics focus more on the fragrance than actually doing the job.

Can anyone recommend any other ones? Or confirm that the lush ones are actually good? Or give a home made recipe? (I have tried a homemade one and didn't think it was that effective)

Thanks

Tonight I'm staying up probably all night. I'll get 2 hours sleep max. I have an exam tomorrow and I'm not ready (stupid, unprepared, I know trust me). I'm drinking 2 red bull and lists of iced water.

should I have more red bull at breakfast to prepare for the exam? After the exam I'm going to the cinema then on a run. Will I manage? I have time off after the exam so plenty time to get my sleeping back on track.

Ok so I'm 16 and I've never assumed boys found me attractive (low self esteem, only ever been with two guys, was teased when I was younger for having gaps in my teeth and later for having no boobs).

But I got a part time job and work Saturday nights. I'm the only girl on and there's two boys my age. Let's call them K and F. K is a flirt, I get the impression he's been with a lot of girls. But he's funny and chats to me all the time at work. F is quieter but still talks to me. K an F are friends and F seems to follow K about a bit.

When I hadn't worked there long K and some other guys said F liked me. They always point out how cute he is to me and ask what I think of him. He's really nice and good looking but I just don't fancy him.

Then recently, twice F has said that K likes me, once to me and once to someone else. K told me himself he was talking to his other friend about how nice my *** is😂 but honestly I kinda like K. He's funny and nice and outgoing and he makes me laugh. But we don't speak outside of work. When we are both in the staff canteen he doesn't come talk me (I am shy and maybe unapproachable even though I talk to him at work!). He added me on Facebook and asked for my snapchat but F said don't give it to him (in front of K kinda a joke) so I didn't.

He does wind me up a lot, so does F but we all laugh about it. Was F winding me up when he said K liked me? What do I do about it I really want to know!!!
