So I am on my 31st day and so my period should be starting. Me and my boyfriend both 11 days and 19 days after my period last month had sex and we were protected with a condom. The first time he just pre came but it didn't break , then the 2nd time he didnt cum or pre cum at all. But I am just stressing cause i feel like I am starting my period late. Maybe it's cause i am stressing and playing volleyball. but I've been feeling so sick and hungry all the time and nervous. I dont know what to do. I want my period to come and all I have had is wetness in my underwear, no red!!! :[ I can't just whip out a test or tell my mom, that would be bad (link)
i've heard that if you are under stress, it will delay your period. but if you start throwing up in the mornings, you definitely need to go get a pregnancy test.


Ok, I'm 21/F and have a pretty good life. I have a few good friends, a great family and go to college. The problem is, I am extremely closed off. I don't let anyone get too close. If I feel a guy or even a friend is trying to get closer, I back off or start to become a big bitch. I have been hurt in the past badly, but I'm not even sure if that's why I am this way. My mom even says I have this big wall in front of me and haven't dropped my guard down for years. I'm terrified I'm going to always be alone because of this. I do attract many good guys, but as soon as they find out how emotionally unavailable I am, they get frustrated and back off. My friends have said that I won't even let them get too close. What am I supposed to do? I want to be more open, but than an open heart can allow pain and hurt to get inside. My thought is it's better to be safe than sorry. Should I just start taking the risk? (link)
i understand where you are coming from completely. if i were you, i wouldn't open myself up completely, because it's not dumb to be cautious. but if you feel something good with a guy, open up slowly and if he sticks around long enough, i think it's safe to say he really does like you for you and doesn't want to hurt you.


i was watching the movie "Adventureland" and they were... im guessing 18-19 and smoking pot and drinking. I know smoking pot and under aged drinking is illegal and that its just a movie but, is it ok to do those things at that age? Does everybody do it? i'm usually 100% a good girl (A+ student) etc. And would never consider smoking pot or drinking, but i can't help but wonder... HELP! i am currently only 13 though and will not smoke pot at this age. but

1.) is it ok at that age?
2.) does everbody do it?

- so confused.

i do both and i'm 17. pretty much everyone smokes pot or has atleast one time in their life.


16f I have been talkn to this guy for a while now like over 6 months on and off. He did something messed up to me that we stopped talking. that was a while ago so weve been fine now and then he got mad at me and we stopped talking for like a few days and its been a week that were talking again but its like we never have a full conversation, he answers my texts really late, or doesnt at all. So i heard that to get a guy to want you more its good to act like you kind of dont care and dont be waiting by the phone or let him text you. So guys, does this work when a girl doesnt talk to you.. do you want her more and does it make you talk to her? (link)
watch the movie He's Just Not That Into You. It really does teach you a lot.


15F US.

Hello,
Me and this guy started dating about two weeks ago. He seems to really like me, And I really like him.

But then just last night. He broke up with me out of no where. He told me we should give eachother time.

But the thing is he and I dated for about three months. (We broke up, And started dating again.)

I really think I loved him, Because everytime someone would bring him up I would just cry. I got a text from him saying "Just because I broke up with you doesn't mean we cant be friends." And well- I don't want to be friends. It hurts so bad that he broke up with me.

I thought the only way to get over him was to move on. So I started dating this cute new guy from school. But everyone wants to fight him, Because I guess he talks crap. I don't care what anyone thinks, Because I might really like him.

But I still think that I like my Ex. So how long will it take for me to get over my ex. Should I stay with the guy I'm dating right now? Or should I take time. My ex found out I was dating him, And he thinks that just because I'm dating this new Guy that I should be happy. And I am. For sure. But I heard that my ex was going to date this other girl, and he shoves it in my face saying how hot she is. But I could never shove anything in his face like that. He's calling me a slut because I'm dating this new guy. This is basically my symapathedic cry for help. ):
-Lost and in love? (link)
the fact that you are your ex keep going on a break probably means that he's just not really ready for a relationship. yeah, he may be dating this one girl right now, but who knows how long that's gonna last.
and as for the boy you are dating right now, you need to get over your ex before you should be dating again. and that does take time.
your ex could be shoving it in your face that he's with this new girl because he is jealous that you have a new boyfriend. so don't get too down about that.
but don't lead this other boy on if you still have feelings for your ex. it's not fair to him.


Every day's an argument with my boyfriend, and it's only on ONE topic: my really good friend who happens to be a guy as well. I think that makes him uncomfortable. We've talked about it before, this has been going on for weeks. I've tried to make him understand he's strictly my friend and nothing else, and that's it.

Example: I went out with my guy friend & a few other girl friends, and we saw a movie my boyfriend wanted to see with me. He spazzed the fuck out saying that I went against my word when I didnt promise anything. Everyday's a fight over my friend. I can't do it anymore but I'm not gonna drop my friend over this since they didn't do anything to me or him. (link)
tell your boyfriend that the way he is acting is really hurting your relationship. if he cares, he'll try to see this situation from a different angle. he doesn't have a reason not to trust you. but maybe you should have invited him to that movie too lol.
hope things works out!


Ok me and my friend recently went to the movies and we missed our show so we were jsut hanging out and talkting to this really hot guy.So we told him we would come back next friday ( because he works there) and so I asked my mom and she said she wanted to go but she would just see another movie.I really dont want her to go so how should I say that without hurting her feelings??Should I say just goo shopping or something?!?! (link)
yeah, maybe you should tell her to go shopping or go out to dinner with her friends or something, and tell her that you and her can just go to the movies together some other time.
maybe that'll work


I met this guy on myspace. He's really nice and hes my age. He was sweet, and he asked for my number. I said maybe tomorrow. He lives far away, like theres a few states in between us. He told me he liked me, and there was something about me. I'm nervous, and I just have mixed emotions and I just dont know what to do right now. Please, any advice. (link)
ppl that you meet on the internet can be like really psyco and shit. but just don't give him your number, that's like common sense. you can continue to be friends with him and talk to him and stuff, just don't give him any info about where you live or your phone number. and don't grow feelings for him! trust me, it'll be so retarded. and everytime he gets on the subject of how wonderful you are, talk about something else. Because as long as he isn't talking to you about THAT, you won't be tempted to like him.


I'm doing some research on what teenage boys find attractive in girls, both in looks and personality for a creative writing paper. If anyone has any information for me, I would appreciate it. (link)
Guys normally want girls with pretty hair, pretty faces, big boobs, tan skin, and a little waist. They love girls who have good taste in music, and girls that are humorous. i hope i helped.


ok so theres this guy and i like him so much and i know theres probably nothing i can do but...i need to, i have to, i hate being without him...its crazy and it all happened so fast and i dont know what to do...but look...i like him he likes me but he doesn't want a relationship...id like one, because i want that commitment. i want him to be mine and only mine....you know...what do i do !?!?! help please please help.. (link)
Talk to him about it some more. that's the only thing that i know to do.


I hear a lot of people say that applying toothpaste on pimples helps to clear it. I asked my dermatologist if that was a good remedy, but she said that there's no known ingredient in toothpaste that would aid to get rid of pimples. Does it really work? I would try it out myself, but I'm a little skeptical of putting toothpaste on my face. (link)
yeah it works. i've tried it. what it does is it dries the pimple up, so that it just flakes off.


About three weeks ago i started taking diet pills without my parents knowing. After i took them i started feeling really nervous. My heart feels like it's beating really hard and fast. I'm breathing really weird and it takes me forever to go to sleep cuz i'm soo wired. I stopped the pills shortly after taking them but i'm still messed up. Does anybody know what's wrong and how i could fix it??? (link)
go see a doctor or something if you think that something's wrong. i'm not sure how you could go to the doctor without your parents knowing, though. Maybe you should just confess to your parents that you've been taking the pills.

is it like totally wrong to talk to guys on the internet that you dont know? 'cuz my mom doesnt let me talk to anyone i dont know! and know i'm falling for this guy! what do i do? i wanna keep talking to him!! And my mom would kill me if she found out!
what do i do? i'm so confused! (link)
just d0n't talk t0 him anymore. i know guys can be REALLY persuasive online and make you think that they are somebody that they aren't. Just to save yourself from being hurt or anything at all, stop talking to him. that's what i would do. I'm not a goody goody, so don't think that that's why i would stop talking to him. i would just stop talking to him bc it just sux to fall for someone you don't really know. hope i helped talk you out of it
