I have two cats. One is an elderly cat +10 years of age, the other is almost a year old. The younger one was adopted from the Human Society and he's extremely loving so my cats adjusted ok to each other. The only problem I'm having now, is at night when I'm trying to sleep, the kitten wants to play. He makes noise all night long, playing with everything from his water bowl to my video games to just jumping off the furniture. I'd swear I had an elephant in my apartment sometimes. How can I get him to calm down more at night so I can sleep? (link)

You can close him in the bathroom with a water bowl, a cat treat(one of those ones that's like chewy and long lasting to entertain him for longer), a toy or two and a cushy place to sleep. You might be sad to do this but it give you a chance to have some time away from kitty- kitty has a chance to move around, play with toys, eat/drink, and hopefully settle down. On days when kitty is good(wait a little while until it recognizes the routine), kitty can come out. We did this with my dog and it worked extremely well. We don't usually have to put her away anymore unless she's being naughty- when we close the door she knows to settle down and then maybe she can come out later.

Does anyone else find this strange? I had gotten hired 3 months ago at a new store. Well I just found out today that my boss wants a criminal record check of everyone in my department. I also found out that it was only my department that needed the criminal record check. There are 7 of us that work in the clothing department. None of us handle cash, we just let people into the change rooms and put out new stock. Wouldnt they have asked us to get a criminal record check before they hired us? It's a little insulting to be honest.
I rate high! (link)

Maybe during inventory numbers wern't adding up and they are trying to figure out where things went wrong. Don't take it as an insult. My job does background checks for everyone every year. If you don't have anything to hide then don't worry about it. Also you never know- it could just be completely random and they might do this to every department every couple of months or so.

If you do want to take legal action just know that there is a statute of limitations and after a certain amount of years some crimes (in most states sexual abuse is unfortunately included) are dismissed.
If you can't talk to your family talk to a friends parent to go to a therapist, but the best thing to do is to try to talk to your parents about it. If you feel like it's going to break up your family and that's something you can't do then wait a little bit and reevaluate- if you think you can tell your parents then, then go ahead.
In terms of him- it's got to be hard to see him/ speak to him. Do you see him a lot? If you do, do your best to keep your distance. Don't let yourself into a situation where you have to be alone with him. And if you feel like you can talk to your parents about this- consider a time when you feel like you can confront him (with the proper support around you) just so he can know how he's hurt you. This is something that will always haunt you, so confront him, cause it should haunt him too.

13/f
ok well, a few of my friends and ALOT of people in my school and some even carry around condoms in their purses and stuff. some of my friends havnt done it yet but claim to love their boyfriends so their thinking about doing it. they're afraid they'll get pregnat and stuff like that or they're boyfriends will leave them or something. they say that sex is the most wonderful gift you can give to someone. then why does EVERYONE these days have sex ALL THE TIME?!?!? and another thing why is it the best thing you can give someone? i mean really? i personally dont think its a big deal to be a virgin before your married i mean, whats the diffrence? ok ONE last question for you. i love my boyfriend too and i would consider having sex with him(depending on the answers above) but how would i bring the subject up with him? please answer and sorry for all the questions. (link)

Your friends are lying.
|
I had sex with a guy and the condom broke, its been like... 2 weeks and i was wondering what the earliest signs for pregnancy were? Like,what starts happening to your body? and how soon does it happen? pleeeaaseee i need to know as much as possible! im 16 and i CANNOT be pregnate! thanks alot! (link)
|
First of all, after like 4-7 days you can take a pregnancy test and it will be able to give you results. Do that now.
Really the only sign for a long time is morning sickness, you get morning sickness because when the fertilized egg is in your body, your immune system will try to reject it thinking its a tumor or an illness but that doesn't happen to everyone. It depends on how strong your immune system is. So get a HPT and if you are still concerned go to the doctor.
If you can't go to your doctor then go to Planned Parenthood- they won't turn you away.

Okay. I lost my virginity on Monday to my boyfriend. We've had sex several times since then. My question is, I'm still bleeding during sex. Is that normal? Sometimes I get cramps, is that normal? (link)
|
Sounds like "honeymooners syndrome", the first time you have sex (or the first time in a long time) can cause bleeding and pain. Don't over do it. You could get a UTI from er overuse. If it persists go to the doctor.

what are kenkles? everyone i know says like old fat woman have kenkles but i dont know what they are besides that they describle your ankles (link)
|
You don't have to be fat to have cankles. I know a girl whos really pretty, tall and thin who's got them. Kind of sad. I'm surprised no one mentioned thankles (thigh/ankles).

Go to your dermatologist!! They can give you much better answers than anyone on here!

I am so mad. I just got into an argument with a friend. It all started when I told her that I wouldn't date a man who already had children. I told her this because I wanted to have children of my own someday, and that from my parents divorce I learned that dating other people who had kids was a recipe for disaster, especially if the kids didnt like you.
Well then she told me that I had issues!! I told her it was a personal choice and that why would I want to date a man who already had kids if I wanted my own. She is a stepmum and was judging me, that's what go me so mad. I told her it was fine for her to be a stepmom but it wasnt for everyone, and that she had no right judging me. NOw she's not speaking to me.
What should I do? I had every right to defend myself. (link)
|
I think it's totally ok to not want to date guys with kids. The amazing thing is that it's you and you can choose whoever you want to date for whatever reason. For instance, I like tall, curly haired guys. And that's ok.
The thing is though.. she's saying you have issues because she feels like you insulted her. You said you'd never do what she did, so she has to defend herself. She probably thought you were out of line while you thought she was out of line. I think the best thing to do in this situation is to just apologize and put it behind you. It's not that you did anything wrong (cause personally I don't want to date guys with kids either- I don't need the extra baggage), but when it comes down to it your friendship/ feelings should be more important than a silly arguement.

Hey, i am currently on medication to help make my pimples go away..it's not working all that great right now though..are there any ways i can make my pimples go away faster in addition to my medication? (link)
|
If you're at the stage where you're on medication then there isn't much more to do. I don't know if you're a girl or a boy but if you wear make up get the light green concealer (MAC's is really good) and lightly put it on the red areas on your face. Then cover the green with your regular concealer for better coverage. It won't make you look cakey and gross. I always do that with a light bronzer over it and it helps so much. In terms of getting rid of the zits, just don't skip your meds, wash your face regularly and talk to your dermatologist about Differin or Tazorac, they are topical creams with drying agents. I've used both of them and they help dry up the zits a little faster.

Sometimes it's just getting into the mind set and telling yourself "I can do this, I can be happy, I'm proud of who I am and I know I'm beautiful" Even if you feel like you're lying to yourself eventually you will believe it. I used to be really awkward and overweight and puberty lasted like 7 years (so sad) and so I relied on my humor to get me though. I made jokes about myself and that didn't always make me feel better but what surprisingly did was when I'd say things to my friends like "I'm so hot" even if I know I'm not. It's ok to be conceited and tell yourself I'm hot I'm beautiful and I like who I am. You'll start to believe it because it's already true.
If you can't get to that place where you're ok with being cocky and conceited (lol) then you might consider going to a therapist. I know that always seems like a big scary word but in reality sooo many people go to therapy. Sometimes it only takes like 5/6 sessions and you never have to go again.
My last suggestion would be to buy new clothes, get a makeover, get your hair cut or highlighted and buy some sexy shoes! If you are losing weight then you'll need new clothes- don't keep wearing your clothes that are too big for you cause they won't be able to show off what you've achieved. Go to a MAC, Nars, Laura Mercier, or Stila counter, these make up companies are all geared toward younger people. Tell them you want to stand out but look natural and they will be able to accent the features you have and bring out the ones that aren't as strong. And if you don't know how to put on make up then they will definitely be able to teach you. Think about a new hair style that can frame or face or maybe some sweepy bangs. A stylist will help you to choose what's right for your face and actually your body as well. And last but not least, hot shoes can totally change your outfit. Go get yourself like some hot pumps and if you don't know how to walk in them walk around the house until you learn. Pair them with dark jeans or dressy clothes and they will change the way you stand which changes the way your body appears. Heals also help tone your legs. :-D
Feeling beautiful on the outside will help to make you feel beautiful on the inside but the most important thing is to be yourself. Don't do things that make you feel uncomfortable and know that you're friends already love you for who you are and now it's time for you to do the same!

Is giving head considered Anal Sex? (link)
|
Not at all. Giving head is oral sex. Meaning stimulation of the other persons genitals by using the mouth. Anal sex is when a penis (or whatever) is inserted into the butt.
(erg that sounded really graphic :-\)

I'm sort of underweight..I weigh 95-100 pounds and I'm 5'2. But I'm happy with my weight, i dont want to gain any pounds. The only place I wanna gain weight is in my boobs, because they are really small. But everytime I try to eat a lot to gain weight, it all goes to my stomach and not at all to my boobs. It looks like my stomach sticks out more than my boobs do. How can I prevent this from happening, but still gain weight in my boobs? Thanks. (link)

Hate to break it to you but you can't wage a war with DNA. That's just how your body is and thinks like that cannot be changed without going under the knife(which I totally don't recommend).

My math 10 teacher has been acting really strange around me. He came up to me the other day and said "my wife's maiden name is the same as yours". He also said I reminded him of his wife when she was younger, and said it in a kind of romantic (yuck) way. Another time he caught me and my friend writing notes, and then he came up to me, tried to read the note, and then said "oh it's a love letter to me". Another girl heard and thought he was joking, because she said "I highly doupt that sir". But I know he was being serious. I always catch him staring at me. One day he heard me say the F word. He told me to stay behind after class. Instead of giving me crap, he said "I'm really suprised at you, but I'm just going to give you a warning". He was talking seductively. I know he was enjoying having me all alone.
It feels really gross and wrong of him. I am only 15. He's like old enough to be my father. What should I do, and is he being inappropriate or am i overreacting? (link)
|
Saying your teacher is coming onto you is a pretty serious allegation. It is advisable to tell someone however if you think you're overracting then maybe just see what happens. He might just be a weirdo in general.

I have an appointment to get an STD test done on Monday. Do you know how they give these tests? I am on my period. Does that affect the test at all? Just explain what the doctors will do from the minute I walk into the office, to the minute I leave. Please and thanks.
I always rate 5's. (link)
|
You need to call the office early Monday morning. If they are going to do a gynecological exam you cannot be on your period. They might ask you to come back in a few days or reschedule all together. I don't really have anything to explain other than some tests require taking blood, some require urine samples and others will require a full gynecological exam. When you get there just have the doctor explain everything as they do it and don't be nervous or embarassed- these tests are common. Sorry I can't give more details but definitely call the office as soon as they open Monday morning.

I like this guy, hes not that popular and i know people will think i was crazy if they found out i liked him! I dont know if he likes me or knows i like him. I always drop hints and stuff and he is like one of my good friends. Everytime we talk about who each other likes he says he dosent know who he likes and i say i cant tell him . I dont want to make things akward between us if i do tell him. I am really confused and i cant take it anymore.! (link)
|
just tell him before it gets too awkward to even talk to him anymore. if your friends really are "cool" then they will accept him and hopefully see in him what you see. if they don't accept him then they clearly aren't worth hanging out with at all.
