Q: Although your body might feel different as it is changing, it is important to keep on exercising. Learning to be coordinated with a new physical frame is important. When you do sports, your body creates extra beta-endorphins, which are hormones that can decrease stress and put you in a better mood. Understand that some sports might be harder for you than in the past. For example, if you were a star figure skater before entering puberty, you might find jumping is more difficult with increased weight. This happens to almost everyone! Talk with your coaches about how to adapt to your new physical frame. Exercising can also help girls who have menstrual pain. If you are worried about working out on your period, see how to Exercise While on Your Period. As you grow taller, you will need some new clothes. Take this moment to think about your new style. Perhaps you would like to look more mature. For girls, this is a good time to learn about bras. Ask your mother, sibling, or a friend for help. Most larger department stores or women's lingerie stores also have specialists who can help you determine what is the best type and size of bra to use. For boys who play sports, talk to your coaches about purchasing athletic cups. As your body grows, it is important that you nourish it with fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains. Try to avoid your intake of junk foods. You might be hungry all the time as your body is using energy to grow. It is okay to eat snacks but aim for things like trail mix or yogurt rather than candy bars or chips. Do not skip breakfast. You will need your energy for school. Aim for five daily portions of fruits and vegetables. Include foods rich in iron and calcium, e.g. cheese, milk, spinach. Drink when feeling thirsty. Dehydration can make you feel tired. If you plan to go to a party and know there will be junk food there, consider eating a healthy snack or even dinner beforehand.
A: Continue to exercise. Update your wardrobe. Eat healthy foods.

Q: Suspenders go across the corners of the fitted sheet. Suspenders can have metal clips or plastic locking mechanisms, where a knob fits into place on the other side. Lock them into place on the corners, about 6 inches (15cm) out on either side of the corner seam. Put the sheet on the bed, tucking the suspenders under the mattress. Cut a short length of elastic. Use elastic that's 1 inch (2.5cm) wide or so. A length of about 6 inches (15cm) should be fine. Stretch out the corner of the sheet so you have about 6 inches (15cm) of straight (not ruffled) sheet on either side of the seam at 1 corner. Mark the length on the sheet with a small safety pin on each end. Pin the ends of the elastic at each marker. The elastic should draw the corner of each sheet together. Repeat for each corner, and then place the sheet on the bed. You can also sew these in place if you prefer.
A: Use suspenders to hold the corners in place. Cut elastic to create your own suspenders. Mark the place you'll pin the elastic on either side of the corner seam. Use safety pins to attach the elastic to the fitted sheet.

Q: Warm water will open up your pores and help your cleanser foam up to give your a good clean. Make sure the water is warm. If it's too cold the pores will close up and you won't be able to clean them out. If it's too hot your skin will get irritated. Apply the water with your hands. Using a towel will irritate your skin due to the friction caused by rubbing. You'll want a gentle cleanser that's free of alcohol and any other harsh chemicals. These can further irritate your skin instead of cleaning it. Remember to apply it with your hands instead of a towel. It might be helpful to identify your skin type to help you choose the right kind of facial cleanser for your skin. Use a liquid facial cleanser rather than a bar. Bar soaps tend to dry out the skin more than liquid soaps. This might be okay if your skin is naturally oily, but if you have dry skin than bar soaps will probably cause irritation. If you notice that your skin is tight or itchy after washing, try switching to a liquid cleanser. If you suffer from acne, look for a cleanser with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzyl peroxide. These ingredients will give your a deeper clean and act as astringents that will kill acne-causing bacteria. You can go with a brand name cleanser, such as Cetaphil, Noxzema, or Neutrogena, or opt for a generic cleanser. If your skin was very dirty or you recently sweat profusely, you might require a deeper clean. Exfoliating will strip away dead skin and dirt, revealing shiny new layers beneath. Again, choose an exfoliant that is alcohol-free. After cleansing, rinse to allow dirt and bacteria to flow out of your pores. Then gently pat your face with a towel until it's dry. Do not rub the towel on your face. This will irritate your skin. Washing your face strips it of essential oils that protect your skin. To keep your face healthy, apply moisturizer every time you wash it. For dry skin, use a cream moisturizer. For normal skin, use a lotion. For oily skin, use gel. Excessive washing will strip away oils and cause irritation. You don't need to wash anymore than twice a day to keep your skin healthy. You can, however, wash more often if you've just exercised and are sweating profusely. There are many different types of facial moisturizers. Try choosing a brand that carries a special formulation for men, such as Neutrogena or Nivea. Or, you can always go with a generic facial moisturizer if you are on a budget.
A: Wet your skin with warm water. Choose the right facial cleanser. Exfoliate your skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel. Apply a moisturizer. Repeat this process only twice a day.

Q: Before you slice a mango, be aware that it has a large pit the shape of a giant almond in the center. Slice the mango as you would an apple, but take care to avoid the pit. Cut wedges into the mango that are no more than an inch thick. Once you're done slicing, you should have several slices of mango with the skin still on, and a pit that still has some skin on it. Here's what to do next: If you just want to eat the mango, pick up the slices by the skin and eat them. You can try to eat some of the looser skin around the pit, but don't eat the skin too close to the pit because it can be stubborn and will get stuck in your teeth worse than corn-on-the-cob. If you want to peel the mango, you can pick up the slices by the skin and gently scoop them out with a spoon. If the pieces aren't ripe enough for that, use a knife. Though cubed mango is a bit more versatile, fresh sliced mango can spice up many ordinary meals, from desserts to main courses. Make the most of your sliced mango by adding it to the following foods: Thai mango salad Sweet and spicy chicken Chicken with lime and cilantro Beef teriyaki Mango, corn, and black bean stew Mango and pineapple pie To do this, cut the mango into thin slices and dry the pieces to get dried mango. For a sour tang, mix the pieces in a ziplock bag with li hing mui powder, or a small amount of citric acid.
A:
Slice the mango. Add the sliced mango to a variety of foods. Dry the sliced mango.
