Question #6:

Am I fat? No not one of those picture ones...?

I'm 14 years old, 5"7.5 and I'm a girl. I've got an athletes build but I'm not like super muscley person, I'm above average with muscle but not insane. Anyway I don't usually bother with weight I go with how I look and I know I'm not the skinniest person around, I'm kinda average, I have a stomach haha but that's because of my wheat intolerance... that I don't stick to haha, so when I have too much wheat my stomach swells... :'( but with looks I'm okay, I haven't got fat arms or legs or anything so I don't call myself fat but I saw a question today that a lad had asked if he was fat, he was 14, about 6foot and he weighed 10 stone, someone had commented that he should lose weight, I'm 11 stone. Does this make me fat? :(

Please answer!! =] xx

P.S. I DO do exercise, I do two hours of skiing every saturday and one hour of fencing every wednesday, I've also done 4 years of karate, 2 years of tennis, 6 years or swimming and I do windsurfing and scuba diving =]

Question #7:

Kitesurfing or windsurfing?

I don't know which to do! Will you help? Which sport will suit me better, and why? And which do you think is best?

To give a bit of background on me and my abilities, I'm a very capable swimmer, skiier and runner, but I'm fairly small and only around 50 kilos. I really enjoy adrenaline-packed, exciting sports that can be done solo or in a group, competitively or just for fun. I really, really love feeling free; soaring above everyone else like a bird, or something like that.

I want something that's relatively easy to learn and hard to forrget. I want to know WHICH OUT OF THOSE TWO SPORTS (KITESURFING/ WINDSURFING) would suit me better, is fun, is easy to use/transport/harness myself to, and WHY? Please give me PROS and CONS!

And please don't suggest any other sports.

Thankyou for your help (:

Question #19:

How much sugar is too much?

Hi, I'm a 15 year old teen and I'm wondering; how much sugar is too much. I drink a lot of tea, and I love to have it with sugar. I do a lot of sports (tennis, windsurfing, football) and I go to the gym regularly. My biology teacher said before that because I do lots of sports, I don't need to worry about the amount of sugar. However, there have been some illnesses running through my family that get me thinking about this stuff. Should I be worrying about how much sugar I have. If so, how much is too much?

Thanks.

Question #20:

Windsurfing laws and state tags.?

Just got back from lessons in Florida for windsurfing. I love it and now i'm thinking about getting my own gear. I live in Illinois but have easy access to lake Michigan in Indiana. I plan on getting on the lake from both Illinois and Indiana but do I need to register the board? where do I do that? and what are the rules?

I know in Florida you can simply jump in the ocean anywhere with no state tags. But in Illinois I know you do. So if anybody windsurfs In Illinois or Indiana please help me out. Thanks.
