well, just because youre parents are still together doesnt mean you cant be depressed. i dont know why you feel sad around your friends and cry for no reason, but the same thing happens to me somtimes. but you should try talking to you parents or someone else in your family, or a counselor maybe. buy if you ever just wanna vent of w/e you can im me my sn is on my column


Is it the stupidest thing to want a baby when u had a miscarriage earlier on in the year, when earlier in your life u had bad things going on with your dad but knowing your mum would give you full support, having the bestest boy friend in the world u’ve been with him for a year and just wanting something to fill that hole in your heart you just want something more to love.. at the age of nearly 15..? (link)
you're only 15 and a baby is a LOT of responsibility. It may seem like it will "fill the hole" but i dont think having a baby will...i hope you make the right choice. goodluck!


I am 13 years old, about 5'8", and I weigh 156. Am I fat? My mom and friends say it's muscle because I ride my bike 5-7 miles a day and I play soccer. But I'm not sure if they are just saying that..

Thanks ahead of time. (link)

that website calulates BMI (body mass index) but if you excercise the way you do, then it's probably just muscle...because you sound INCREDIBLY active, I'm sure you're fine


What are some healthy snacks you can replace with junk food to not eat just a bunch of swets- but somethign actually nutricious! Lol please don't send me to a website to look b/c i hate it when they do that...
Thanks in advance- I rate high! (link)
granola bars, yogurt, fruit, dry cereal (like cherios or something, you could try like nutrition bars or like slimfast snack bars or something, carrot sticks (but if you eat ranch with it, make sure it's lowfat cause ranch dressing isnt very good for you), and other things like that

Badminton took its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the last century. By coincidence, Gloucestershire is now the base for the International Badminton Federation.

Two questions about pre-marriagal sex... first one, am I spelling it right? I just like to know how to spell things, sorry to waste your time. Second one, before Advicenators, I was always under the impression that pre-marriagal sex was just for the screwed-in-the-head potheads and the sluts/whores. But now I'm looking at these questions, and seriously folks, it's just insane how many people are saying "I've been with my b/f three months and we had sex last night, is that too little time?" or something like that. Are my thoughts on pre-marriagal sex wrong? Note: Smartasses get 1s and will be reported. Give me real advice. (link)
Your views aren't wrong at all. You just have high morals, which is very good. I know how you feel about thinking that your views are wrong...but they're not i promise! lol If you have anymore questions just ask! Goodluck!

I just got my top braces off yesterday morning,after 2 years with them on, and my teeth look really biggg. I am getting my retainer in 2 weeks, and i was wondering if maybe just IM seeing big rabbit teeth, or im just not used to it...? Will the retainer help? What can help minimize my teeth..? (link)
your teeth just look big because you've had your braces on for so long and you arent used to your teeth without them


I've really been into yoga lately. Ive been seeing it done on tv & stuff. I swore to myself that it was stupid & i'd never do it but it looks like its really good for you and would help lose weight and gain flexibility. If anyone knows of anything good about it, or a good yoga video & where to get it, fill me in. Thanks a lot.

this site has a lot of yoga videos. http://www.yogasite.com/yogavideos.htm?OVRAW=yoga%20videos&OVKEY=yoga%20video&OVMTC=standard

you could also go to best buy (or a store like that) and they'd probably have some.


I have this friend who thinks that I don't want to hang out with her and I only want to hang out with her sister, even though I hang out with her all the time and I only talk to her sister a little bit. She says I do it all the time but I don't but she insists that I do. It's annoying. Do you think that she is being parranoid? (link)
one of my friends does this sometimes, when i talk to her brother or something. and its because shes insecure. but if you go over to your friends house, hang out with her and not with her sister. even if its just a little bit, try no to do it.goodluck!


so i heard that cocoa butter get rid of scars.. where can i get it and how much does it cost? (link)

Hey, major question i have. Ok, i went to a softball game and i was sitting on the bleachers...and on the other side of the field i saw 2 people...the one of them looked like a guy from were i was sitting and the other one...was a girl, and i thought they were friends or somthing...so, then i started thinking, wow that guy is pretty cute...so then, i realized i looked at him a bit longer...and realized it was a girl...a very tomboyish girl,so...does that mean i'm like...lesbian or just made a common mistake?
~Brina (link)
no it doesnt mean youre a lesbian. the girl was far away, and you couldnt tell it was a girl, epecially since she was tomboyish


i dont get it...i only got 4 hours of sleep last night and i was very tired throughout the day but i cant fall asleep now! i've been trying for hours. all i do is lay there with an empty mind..not thinking about anything...how could i fall asleep? (link)
well you could try sleeping pills, or like nyquil or something like that. i know it sounds stupid, but you can try counting to a certain number like 7 so then you have one thing to concentrate on and eventually youll get bored and fall asleep. its weird but it works for me sometims and i have horrible sleeping problems. or you could try listening to soft music.


ok i know this is a little gross. but for a few years now, every once in a while i will get scabs on my scalp, and when i scratch my scalp then sometimes white stuff (not dandriff) ends up under my fingernails. what is this and hwo do i treat it? (link)
this happened to me before. i went to the dermatologist for it. and its like some sort of severe dry skin, its weird. but like, i got this shampoo called selsun blue, the moisturizing kind and this other kind t-gel (i think its netrogena)i also had to use this overnight stuff the dermatologist gave me, but just try the different shampoos and if they dont work go to the dermatologist.

i have been cutting myself for about 4 months now, i dont know how to stop, but i dont want to do it anymore. how do i stop and deal with my emotions in other ways? (link)
when you feel like cutting, talk to a friend instead, or like an adult you trust. if your parents know, ask them to take you to a counselor. or you can try to express you feeling in other ways like writing, punching a pillow, or anything

Okay, right now, my hairstyle is kind of plain and I want to change it to a hairstyle I just got recently, although I can't style it that way without the proper hair products. My bangs right now, are about 1 1/2" long as well as the top of my head, the hair on the sides can cover my ears and the hair on the back reaches to the middle of my neck. The hairstyle I had recently was called "The Wispy Look". I basically wanted the back of my hair spiked up and out, then the sides would be covering my ears, and then the front(bangs) would just be off my forehead in whatever direction I want. I tried to described this new look in the best way I can, but I'm just wondering if it'd look good. I'm a guy, by the way. Oh! I'm also a brunette and my hair is straight, not curly whatsoever. (link)
my friend just got his hair like this n i like it.(if im thinking of the same style youre talking about)so yea i bet it'd look good.


Alright- so my best guy friend might like me. How do I let him know that I sort of like him too without being vulnerable to rejection? Or I guess how can I hint it to him in a subtle way? (link)
this happened to me recently. but dont metion anything about it unless he tells you he likes you. but if he does tell you he likes you just tell him that you dont see him that way, but youre very flattered. and you stil want to be friends and you dont want it to be awkward. if you need any other help drop one in my inbox

(link)

how do u get a guy not to talk about the things you've done when you dont want no one knowing and you know he will


~Katie~ (link)
you have to trust the guy you do something with because guys like to talk. mackenzie is right, you need to have a good judge of character
