How to get a gap between your thighs?
Ok so I'm 14 years old and I'm very active. I do at least an hour of sports a day, and 3 days a week I do four hours of sports, but I have quite wide hips and big thighs with NO gap and I really want to slim down my thighs and get a gap between my thighs, and also (if possible) can someone tell me how to get a smaller bottom? Thanks :)

If you don't have a thigh gap, you have thigh fat and you'll have to lose it. Your only choice is to lose fat and wait for the gap to appear. How long that takes will depend on your skeletal structure, pelvic width, thigh muscle size, and amount of thigh fat so there's no way to predict it. And, you may not like where else on your body the fat leaves as you diet down in body fat. For example, you could lose cup size as well.
In case you don't know how to lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat ---> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615...
There are no exercises which will help in any significant way because spot fat reduction is impossible without surgery. Where your body stores and removes fat is determined by your genetics and there is nothing you can do to change that short of radical procedures such as liposuction. And, in general, where it stores fat first is where it will lose it last and visa versa. The world of health and fitness has an unfortunate abundance of myths and spot reduction is one of them. There is no exercise, no pill, no supplements, no spa treatment, and no natural way to spot reduce. Your only choice is to create a caloric deficit with diet and exercise, burn fat, and wait for it to leave the desired body parts.

Always remember that any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.
Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.
Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.
An average person must walk about five miles every day of the week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking five miles a day or doing that amount of exercise is for you, focus your fat loss program on diet.
Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.
You're only 14 so your body is a work in progress. It's best if you don't become overly concerned about small imperfections because your adult body is a decade away and you're going to do a lot of changing before you get there. If you become obsessive about your body, you could find yourself with an eating disorder.

Good luck and good health!!

Looks like you are healthy already. If you fall into the trap of enhancing you look artificially, you will lose it both ways.
Stick to healthy plant-based diet and you will be trouble-free.
