What Are Some Exercises for Abs Besides Sit-ups or Crunches?

I'm 14 years old and I have a problem with doing sit-ups because my tail bone hurts while doing them… and I want to get some abs, since I am pretty skinny. What would be some good exercise or exercises for me?

Suggestion:

light cardio too get get your blood flowing then some weight lifting and sculpting to build of those muscles. i recommend about a 30 minute jog followed by around 20 minutes of sculpting. And by sculpting for abs i mean lunges and squats. good luck! =]

p.s. it worked for me. last summer i did this everyday and got into the best shape of my life! :D

Leg extensions (you lay down face up and raise both your legs as high as possible then bring them back down and repeat) although those might hurt your tailbone as well.

There are a lot of machines in the gym that involve the abs and you can sit down and do them there.

leg lifts
and any kind of oblique exercise
(obliques are your sides, and they cause the whole "love handle" thing)
