Q: i am a 15 year old guy. i have always like girls and i mean ALWAYS. never ever felt even the slightest love directed at a guy. 4 months ago i asked a girl out. after that, i had a crush on another girl a little less than 2 months ago.
I am really confused because about 3 weeks ago i started wondering i may be gay after i saw some line reading a soccer review where the player said "its a man's game". i have no clue why but that set of a chain reaction in me. after this i can count about 3 instances where i haven't been aroused that much by porn. i have never watched gay porn but for some reason it seems more exciting but not so arousing. i think it might be the hero worship happening now. i am sexually attracted to women ONLY and masturbate thinking about them only and do not fantasize about men.
my relationship with my dad is good but i don't see him so much because he is busy and my brother left for college last year. have not been able to meet my friends so much cos i have study leave for exams.
please help. i really need it
You are in puberty, that is it! (to put it simply) Guys always check out other guys and look at their muscles and legs, and faces. But that does not determine your sexuality. You are curious. That's all. You are not gay.

Q: Ok so I don't get it anymore. Me and my one best friend have been best friends since forever it seems. In like 7th or 8th grade she started to hang out with this other group of friends. I was hurt at first but it's not like she can't have other friends. The thing that hurt me the most was when she would ditch me for them or not even invite into their plans, even though I was friends with every single one of them in that group. I tried everything, but eventually she came back to me and we were really close in 9th grade. Except she lied to me and I don't know if I can trust her anymore... it was a big thing her lie.. but I won't get into that. Anyway, she keeps talking about two of the girls in their "group" about how much they hate them and that they never have time for their "grouP" anymore and if they asked them to hang out then they wouldn't hang out with them. All the while I'm standing there listening trying to pay attention but frankly I could care less. Anyway Friday her and another girl in their group asked me to do something but I had other plans, and they were like "we should ask the two girls that never want to do something with us to do something tonight because I know they won't want to, but let's do it just for fun". I was like okay go have fun if thats what you call fun... anyway, Saturday night on my best friends away message was the she was having a sleepover with her best friends and they were the group including the two girls they talk about all the time. I have a few questions....
1) what should I do about their group? ignore it?
2) i really don't want to lose this friend and I have confronted her about the group and she just blows it off saying I'm her best friend even if she doesn't show it. any suggestions?

Sorry this is so long but I thank whoever took the time to read this because I really need help with this situation
You should ignore it and not let it bother you. If it gets to the point where they are making fun of you are calling you names and stuff then that's where you cut the relationship off. But in the mean time, just let your friend do what she wants, and just keep in touch. And if it's not to weird or anything, try hanging out with other people.

Q: is your penis size in your genes like girls are with there boobs. like if your family has a history of "big" penis's, will it be hereditary?
Yes, Penis size is hereditary. So if your family has a long tine of big penises then chances are, you'll get a huge cock too!

Q: i like this guy at school but he's a year younger than me and i don't want pple saying i'm desperate so i decided not to like him anymore but i still do

what do i do? help plz and thanks!
You should not worry about what other people think about you and your love life. If you love him and he loves you, that's all that matters!!! :)

Q: I keep having pimples on my armpit and along my crotch (I don't know the name of the place for a girl's body but like where you would have a camel toe near the pee hole) all of a sudden and they hurt really bad and I don't know why I'm getting it!

I didn't use anything new or anythign and i'm very clean! how can I make them go away? the one on my armpit has been on for liek 2 weeks and still didn't go away!
Maybe it's something that you touch in school. You should lather those areas with soap, and if they don't clear up in a couple of day then see if you can talk to a doctor so he can check them out.

-AJ

Q: Now every time I wear Certain Dri (anti-perspirant) my armpit is really itchy and I would want to skip a day or two but I don't think that would be a good choice for my rep in school..

Is it just me or the anti-perspirant?
I think that it's the anti-perspirant. Maybe your allergic to something in it. Or maybe your skin is sensitive. Try using another kind of anti-perspirant. Maybe if it's just itching and no burning, than your growing, and you are getting under-arm hair.

Q: A girl who I thought was my best friend, Sarah, has been talking about my other best friend, Amanda, alot lately and I got so tired of listening to it, so I told Amanda everything. Sarah was acting like a jerk to her and Amanda wanted to know why, so it's not like I just told her to get them in a fight. Sarah had called her a bitch, a slut, and told me that she hated her because she always says she can't come over because she is busy. I honestly thought that was no reason to call her those things. Also, she had been purposely leaving Amanda out and making fun of her. She had said alot of other bad things about her too, but I don't feel like listing everything and I didn't tell her them because I knew she would get too upset. I told Amanda almost everything today and in return, she began telling me what all she has been saying about me behind my back. Sarah had said the same thing about both of us, including all of her other "friends." On myspace, Sarah's profile says, "If you're mad at me, get over it," just talking to everyone in general and plus every other time I've gotten mad at her for something, she turns everything around and blames me. So, I know I can't talk to her about any of this. What should I do? Did I do the right thing by telling Sarah?
Obviously Sarah is not a friend. She has her own self esteem issues and she needs to take care of that. But in the mean time, I would ignore her and prevent from talking to her.

Q: when im making out with my boyfriend and messing around i get really wet like alot of it and is there anyway to prevent not getting so wet because when we have sex it sometimes makes noises ; can i prevent the noises ?
I cannot tell you how to prevent the noises. But there is some good news. This might just be from puberty and it probably will end in time.

And if your boyfriend loves you, he won't care about the wetness OR the noises... because he LOVES you! :)

Q: ok so there's this guy who i met, and he's like this really nice guy but he really likes me. It's not that i like him, but this is the situation i'm facing. He thinks I'm his girlfriend, but he's a little bit mentally behind?? I don't know if that sounds mean..... if it does I'm really sorry. I don't mean to sound mean. He's not retarted but his mind isn't necessarily at the same level as a regular 17 year old boy. He acts like he's younger. On Valentines Day, he had roses delivered to my school and he wrote on the card that I was the best girlfriend ever and that I make him so happy. But, I have a boyfriend, and they go to the same school. I can't have him telling my boyfriend he's with me and start a whole big huge misunderstanding for no reason. But, I feel so bad because I don't know what to do about this because I don't want to hurt his feelings, especially because of him acting younger. I really don't know what to tell him? Should I just not say anything and tell my boyfriend about this before the other guy does?

ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE AND THANK YOU
You should tell your boyfriend that it's just a mistake and that you will fix it.

Then tell the other guy that you just want to be best friends, maybe he'll like that. But when you say it act really excited to show that it's a good thing to be best friends. And you don't REALLY have to be best friends with him just say Hi when he does and your good. If you get to close just say, "Oh, I'm sorry I can't." An answer like that corresponding to the statement he made.

GOOD LUCK! :)

Q: I have a serious problem, I always get boners in the middle of class and i have to get up alot and i dont want people to see me. I am not getting hard because the teacher is hot either because, beleve me, she is NOT! Does any else have this proble, how can I fix it???? Any bit of info will help!!!
Every guy goes through this. Unfortunately you cannot control it. The best thing to do would be to not think about it.

PS: When you do get a boner, try to move it to the side.

Q: i have this friend(she really is a friend) whos likes this guy..he liked her at the begining of the year and asked her out alot!!....but she rejected him everytime b/c he did'nt like him then...now she likes him alot...and he likes her friend...he calls her alot and ims her to get info about her friend...everytime he does that she gets more and more jealous...i want him to go back to liking her...is there anything she can do??...she flirts with him and everything..but i don't know wat she can do??
YOU, not your friend, should give the guy a NOTE without your name, and TYPE IT so that they can't recognize your hand writing.

Say this, "This is for (guy's name). (Your friends name) likes you a lot. And she totally wants to go out with you, but your too busy with another girl. Think about it. BUT, don't mention you got this letter, it's not from her."

You don't have to say that, but something like that.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Q: ok, I have a guy friend who I'm pretty close with, and he's stopped jerking off as part of a little quest to see what he can do. I've only talked to him on the internet lately, but:

he's become overly aggressive and easily annoyed. it's good to talk to him, but not like this.

Any views on this? I can't narrow it down to a specific question, but I just want to get him in a state where I can talk to him where he isn't bouncing off the fuckin' walls. Thanks D:
He needs to start jerking off again.

That's how he releases his energy.

You have to break the ice. You have to make him laugh. You have to show him that you love him. You need to sit him down, and you guys just have to TALK!

Anger is stuck in his heart, and he needs to let it out. JUST TALKING will solve everything. You just DON'T want to get into an argument. He loves you, but I don't really understand why he doesn't talk to you anymore.

Email him a letter. "I hate being like this, I NEED to speak to you, and the truth is... I still like you."

Not sooooo straight forward but you have to let him know.

GOOD LUCK!

The cliques... You should not worry about this, you are unique like you said. If you want to be in a clique do something like a sport. Art club, drama club, a rock band. Something that involves others that you would like to do.

I know that feeling of thinking about going out with your best friend, and if he is your BFF, then you shouldn't because you might mess up your FRIEND relationship.

ALSO, you should talk to your guy friend, tell him that you want to spend more time with him. OR, you could suggest to go to the movies one day, the park, the MALL!

Anyway, good luck, and remember, you are your own person, you don't need others to complete your life BUT... they do make up a piece of the piem just don't rely entirely on them.

Q: k, so my friend thats a girl(not my gf) was going out with a guy that she didnt really like. Then her bf found out that she liked another guy, but didnt do anything about it and he let her know that he knew. Later into the relationship she didnt want to be with him anymore and they broke up. She then hooked up with the other guy that she liked and now the guy she used to go out with h8s her and is not talking to her. Also the two guys,i think are still friends.
You should tell your friend the following...

1. You should never go out with anyone you don't like, because if that person finds out, he could get hurt because the fact is, HE loves her.

2. Try to become friends with the EX again. Start with small talk. Make him laugh! :)

3. Most importantly you have to say sorry to your EX. He needs to know that you are not just some jerk girl that goes out with anyone.

Don't make the same mistake again...
GOOD LUCK!

Q: I wanted to know why do some boys act mean and nasty to certain girls after they break up. Like they start saying "What are you looking at?" They also start talking about that girl and they don't speak no more or even look the girls way.
Boys are very stubborn. A couple broke up, and the guy doesn't want to make it seem that he is now helpless or weak because of the break-up. He wants to show everybody that he doesn't care (when he really does), and the best way for him to do that is to make fun of you, be mean to you. It really sucks but it's really HIS problem not yours!

I am very sad to tell you that the chances of you two ever becoming friends again are slim. If he is going to act this way then it's going to be impossible. I know it must be hard for you, but try to push him out of your mind. Ignore him and he will ignore you. BUT if he keeps making remarks and making fun of you, tell him off!!! Then he'll shut up!

Q: Hey. Well, I don't mean to seem stuck up or concieted(sp) but everyone has always told me I'm wicked mature for my age. And when I go out or something with my friends, they often do things I know are wrong, but I really want to do anyways (not like smoking and stuff, just drinking on a very rare occasion.) And like, I really wanna have a fun time with them, like when we all have our boyfriends with us [on the rare occasion I have a boyfriend] and they're all like attached and stuff. I don't know if that information really helped, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can make myself loosen up and get a little bit less uptight. Help! Thank you :)
One thing you could do is follow your friends lead. Do what she does, but try to make it your own, (so that it doesn't seem like your copying her).

Make a joke every now and then. Make everybody in a good mood. You want to be a character but not a MAIN character. In other words, don't hog up the conversation or anything. Just be there, but don't be in their faces.

Q: There's this boy. I've liked him for about three years now. He liked me when I first started liking him, but I was too stupid to do anything about it.

Now that I think about it, he's always been the one in the back of my mind. And lately, I can't stop thinking about him.

I even had this dream that he was going out with this girl (who I hate, by the way) and I was completely jealous. Also, if his name even comes up in a conversation that a girl is having, I get extremely jealous. He's not even my boyfriend.

What does this mean and why am I constantly thinking about him? And what can I do to either a) get him off of my mind, or b) work up the nerve to tell him how I feel?
You have the HOTS for this guy! It's not anything to be ashamed about. You like him and most likely he likes you.

Maybe because he liked you first, and then you didn't do anything, he feels that you don't like him. So maybe if you kinda show him that you like him he will bounce back.

In my opinion, you should never tell a boy DIRECTLY that you like him. It might freak him out, and you don't want that. Try talking to him every now and then. Try to show that you have feelings for him without really saying it. Get me?

Good Luck! :D

Q: So...I am 15 (soon to be 16) and this past Saturday, I lost my virginity to my boyfriend. We've been together for almost 3 months. His Dad found out and now I have a feeling that he is going to tell my mom. I want to tell her. I really do, but I think that she will be really disappointed in me. I was going to tell her tonight but I couldn't do it. Something told me that it wasn't a good idea, but then I get the feeling that I should because if she finds out from his dad, then she will be even more disappointed in me for the fact that I didn't tell her myself. I don't think she'll trust me ever again. And I have a feeling that she won't want me to see him anymore. I can already see what she is going to say. "You're only 15." or "How could you be so stupid?" or she will call me a slut...I don't know what to do. Should I tell her? Or not...
Ok, so you slept with a guy. It's done, cannot change it, NEXT SUBJECT. You should absolutely tell your mom. She will get mad at you, but it will take of the HUGE amount of guilt that you are carrying around right now. (And it will be MUCH better for you to tell her rather than your boyfriends dad)

Q: Me and a friend saw eachother at a dance last friday and there was a lot of flirting. This friday we're seeing eachother again. Last friday he said he was going to dance with me at the dance this coming friday. The thing is he has a girlfriend and when it comes to dancing i freak dance. I told him "yea ill dance with u....but what about ur....nevermind?"...then he said "Girlfriend?"...i said "yea!"....he told me "dancing is dancing". So i don't know if its going to be wrong to freak with him while he has a girlfriend?...also i can't stop flirting with him because he flirts with me....What should i do???
Obviously he does not really like this girl friend of his because he is not really interested about being devoted to her. SOOOOOOOO. Go for it.

Just keep these things in mind...

-You might end up in a fight with this girl that he is going out with.

-You might end up going out with this guy.

-YOU NEED to pay attention to him BEFORE saying yes to be his girl friend because if he is not faithful to his current GF, then what do you think he might do to you?
