Hello. :)
14/F ~ My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 4 months now, and the other night he came over. We sat around and talked for a little while, but then he started to pull moves on me... It's not the first time or anything.. we started to make out then he put his hands up my shirt and down my pants..then we started making out more.. then he pulled me on top of him and we made out more. Is it wrong for me to let him put his hands in those places? I'm just wondering so I can tlel him weather he can again or not. Thank you :)

That's totally up to you. It's all about what you feel comfortable doing. Don't let it go too far, though. If you think you might be about to do something you'll regret later, make him stop.

hey!! i have a chance to try out for my high school musical (i'm in 8th). It requires singing and dancing, so i definitely have a chance with the dancing part. but with the singing, i'm not bad but there are a couple of better people. does any one have any tips on what i can do... like projection, that sort of thing. thanks!

For projection, focus on the back of the auditorium, and think about making sure the back wall (or the people in the very back) can hear you. Don't look down. And make sure you move around.

Dear advice people givers (lol),

I got my heart broken recently. Last Sunday to be exact. We'll call him Jason. Jason and I have been going out for a week and 4 days. We known each other for a couple of months and have been aquainted. Jason and I got in a fight the day before we broke up. He was on the phone with me and I told him my personal life and I began to cry too and he threw it in my face saying all this mean stuff. It left me so mad at him. You can't even imagine. Well on the 11th (next day) day he calls and he was all like "Hey what are you doing?" and I said "I am at my house.." I said it with an attitude because I was mad at him. Then he was like "I think we should just be friends..." I just hung up the phone. I have no idea why he broke up with me... I could not talk to him, I didn't want to. Then like 15min later he calls my cell on his friends phone and when I answer he hangs up! I was so mad and so sad. I know boys lie but somehow they make you believe their lie, He said I was the best thing that has ever happened to him and he loved me soo much and he wanted this realationship to last forever. Well...I believed it. I haven't talked to him since we broke up (dec. 5) and for some reason I really want to call him and talk but then again I think I don't want to but then I really do...do i make sense? But then my best friend told me the weirdest thing, she said that when we started hanging out as just friends, that he thought I was a ho or a slut (i wasn't supposed to know). And 1st of all I do not dress or act like one because, yo, I am the farest from being a slut and dude, he wouldn't have gone out with me if that was all that he was looking for. Because he knows me...everything almost. Should I call him? I really miss him...a lot. But he hasn't called me, not even once. I don't want to call him and feel like an idiot...srry 4 it being so long :)
Thanks :)

Let it go. It only lasted about a week. That's not a very long relationship...And plus it was mean that he wasn't nice about you telling him your problems. Don't call him. There are better guys out there, and you've got plenty of time to find them.

how many pairs of jeans do u think a girl should own?

You can never have too many jeans!!! But I guess you only NEED like 3-5 pairs, just enough to get through a school week. As long as they all look kind of alike, you can get away with re-wearing them a lot.

does anybody know how to evenly put on eyeliner on the top lid of your eye? like i do it and it isnt perfect..

There's this stuff called NYC Precision eyeliner or something. It doesn't look like a pencil. It's in a little tubey thing with a cap, and when it gets dull, you twist it to get more eyeliner. Kinda' hard to explain, but Wal*Mart has it in the NYC makeup section. That's wht I use,and it works really well as far as getting the lines pefect.

I have a friend whose bf i like A LOT and i know i would have a chance with him but he's my best friends bf. We even danced at my school dance. But i know i can't have him b/c he belongs to my friend. What should i do?

You said it. He belongs to your friend.

Before I begin I want to say that I am not complaining, I absolutely love my mom and my life.

So my problem is my mom's yelling. It's almost like she feels that she cannot get anything across to my siblings and I unless she yells. Sometimes she is even too busy yelled that she doesn't realize that we have already done the things she's asked us to do. I've tried talking to her about it several times. My younger sister once told her that sometimes she doesn't listen to my mom because of her shouting at us all the time. Talking to her never works. I can understand that she is very stressed out at times and wants to come home without any trouble. But instead of asking us to do something, she'll say something like “GET OFF THE TV/COMPUTER AND CLEAN THE GAME ROOM NOW!!!” I'm even embarrassed by it at times because she does it while we have friends over also. I don't think she's simply asked us to do anything in a year.

I want to know if anyone ones anyway I can get through to her. And once again, the talking about to her does not work. I can't even talk to her about anything any more. It feels as if she just does not like having us around even though I know it's not true.

My parents are divorced so it's not like he can help. He lives in Iowa while we live in Texas.

Are you sure she isn't yelling because you don't do what she asks you??? Well if you are sure, just be really supportive of her. Maybe she's stressed out about work, your dad, I dunno'...Just be there for her and try to get the chores that you know she'll ask you to do done before she gets home or before she has to ask/yell.

Sorry its long!!! But ill rate you if you answer.

Over the past 11 monthes i have liked this one guy. His name is Craig. And we dated a little while a few monthes ago but some stuff happened and we broke up for no reason. So he got over me, but i never got over him. So recently we went to a party and we played football. well the entire time he kept tackleing me, but none of the other girls. And he didnt want me to leave. Then my friend asked him if he liked me and he said he never thought about it. I really want to tell him i like him to make him think about, but i dont want to A. risk our friendship, and B. get rejected. What do you think about all of this and how should i handle it?

Sounds like he was flirting. I say talk to him one-on-one, and tell him how you feel. You'll most likely regret it if you don't. And rejection is one of those things that you have to get used to. If he says he doesn't like you, it should make it easier to get over him. I mean at least you'll know for sure, and you can think, "Ok...Moving on...There are plenty of other guys out there."

Dear Advice People Givers:

Hey! Ok, I'm confused. See, I'm 14 & I wanna do something REALLY bad! Like see, here's the thing though.. I'm not really sure how to kiss a guy though.. I mean.. when I got my 1st kiss, it wasnt at all wat I wanted it 2 be. It was kinda one of those "in the moment" type deals. I kno I'm just 14 but is that 2 young? And is there a "wrong" way to kiss some1? Please help. I rate 5's to anybody. So you could say something like, "Sup?" and I'd still rate you, but PLEASE give advice!!

-Stephanie-

Sup?

Nah, just kidding. I'll give advice. There's not a totally wrong way to kiss a guy. Just don't do the snake tongue (where you just sorta' like...poke your tongue in and out), the limp tongue (where you just sorta' don't do anything), or the spastic tongue (where you flail it around in circles, lol). No, 14 isn't too young to kiss, but you put your question in the "Sex" category. If you're talking about sex, then yes, it's way too young.

Dear People,

I have this little problem. See, I like this guy but he has a girlfriend. I know that there's definatly something between us because he came to my house the other day and we totally kissed!! (YaY!) But see, his girlfriend & me are not the BEST of friends, but we are friends. I feel kinda weird because I know that its wrong but WHO CARES! HaHa.. anyways! I wanna tell him that I like him but I know he'll never leave his girlfriend. Hmm.. What would you do??

Thax,
Stephanie

Well he's got a girlfriend...And he made out with you. Why would you want to date him if you know he cheats on his girlfriends?

I recently ran into a guy who I have known since we were little kids.It's been a long time since we've seen each other,and I always had a crush on him when we were young,and I didn't wanna let myself feel it again but when we ran into each other it brought back all those feelings.Anyway,my BFF,tho I love her,she...well,sleeps around a lot,and she right away started saying how hot this guy is and how much she wanted to *get* with him.I asked her to please not do anything with him because I do still like him,and it would hurt my feelings a lot.She said she can't guarantee that she couldn't do it,and that she's "taking a chance" with him.Basically,she's gonna go 4 it anyway.She says he told her he couldn't date me because it's me(meaning we go back so far as friends and our families were real tight).And she tells me he asked if it was ok if he called HER sometime.But when we were all hangin together he was acting interested in me and seemed...less than amused or interested by her.It's breaking my heart that she's gonna do this.The thought of them together makes me sick to my stomach.I've had nightmares,been unable to sit still,felt sick to my stomach,all because I'm so upset over this.But she says she basically doesn't care,and that she's not gonna fight and I can "take it how I want".What should I do? Even the mere idea that he would be into her is mind boggling to me,and especially cuz he really wasn't all actin like that,he kept huggin me and talkin about old times,and he even talked to my mom on the phone for God's sake!And the idea that he would ever be into her makes me feel sick.I cried all night last night and all morning this morning. HELP!!Thanks,I'll rate ya!

Aaaawww...Why is that girl your best friend???? First off, it's gross that she sleeps around. And second, it's really bitchy that she says she's gonna' try to have sex with the guy you're madly in love with, and that she doesn't care what you think. I think you need to talk one-on-one with the guy ASAP. Find out from him what's going on. Ask him if he likes your "friend", and tell him what she is planning to do. Tell him that you really care about him and don't want him to do that. And get a different best friend!!!

my mom and dad both smoke (just ciggarettes) and they both go out in the backyard to smoke but my dad lights in it the house n goes in the back bathroom...(ther bathroom)....and they ALWAYS smell like smoke...my mom even has a ashtray thing for her car and she smokes there too...our car smells so nasty sometimes...and when she comes in my face or watever to talk to me she smells nd she gets mad when i back away and say ew did u jsut smoke? theyve both tryed to quit my mom even has a nicorette tape in her car but they never follow through on it! theyeve tryed everything and my mom quit when she was pregnant with me but she started back up again...ontop of that i hav asthma and reallie bad allergies and smelling smoke makes me sneeze like all day....wat can i do? they wont quit! ive tryed everything....and wer learning bout tobacco in health class right now and its really scaring me bc i kno how dangerous it really is now...=\

Talk to them individually. If you're riding in the car or you're somewhere else where you've got them trapped and they can't make an excuse to leave, use that time to confront them. Tell them that you're scared of what it's gonna' do to them and that you want them to be around for as long as possible and be able see their grandchildren grow up. Tell them that you're sick of sneezing constantly. And explain how embarrassing it is to have friends ride in your car and come over to your house because of the smell. Say that you understand it's hard to quit smoking, but that they need to do it. And don't let them use the excuses," I do everything for you...Stop being selfish...It's my body...blah blah blah..." Tell them they'll be grateful in the long run. Hope I helped! :)

Hi, I'm a girl, freshman, and I am 14.
I have been dating my boyfriend, who is 15, for about a month and three weeks. It was perfect at first and just went down. I don't know what happened. We went to the movies and had a great time, but it got worse and he stopped talking to me. I wondered what was wrong. My friends told me that he was a crack head and shouldn't go out with him, but I liked him so I didn't listen. We had tons of fun. I got tons of pictures with me and him together. I also have his sweater at home. But recently he has had a flirting problem and flirted with every girl in front of me. I got mad and sad and ended up getting my friends to talk to him for me. My friends said he was going to break up with me. I was so sad. Then they said he wanted to dump me because I'm too immature. My friend said he was cheating on me, but I wouldn't believe it. He also made me cry by joking around with me saying he would break up with me a few times and he told like a lot of people he made me cry at school.
Today my life ended and he dumped me. I ended up crying my heart out. After school I talked to him and asked why. He said I acted like a baby. I was sad. Then this girl came up and asked if he was coming to her house. I was shocked! I couldn't believe it. The next thing I knew they were walking around holding hands like lovers. I yelled FU at them, but I don't think they heard it. Then I was so pissed off. My bus came. I got on it. I was so mad and started yelling FU and flipping off everyone out of the bus window and started crying to death; thinking about that girl and the good times we had together. Then I saw him walking with the girl far away. I flipped them off, but they didn't see. After that I cried so much on the bus for about an hour and I seriously almost threw-up.
This is the worst day of my life. I can't stop thinking about him because I still love him so much. He was so nice and sweet. I don't think I will ever get over him. Can someone please just give advice how I can get over him because I don't think I ever will and just thinking about him makes me cry and feel like I'm about to get sick even more...
Thanks so much for the help....

He's NOT worth it, no matter how much you think he is now. I promise, a few years down the road, nothing that happened to you in high school will matter.

Lately Ive been looking on the internet and at the mall for some Flat Clogs. Not the ones with the heels, but the ones with the buckle on the front and theyre brown/tan. I cant seem to find them at any websites. Does anyone know where I can find some cute clogs online? Thanks.

You mean Birkenstocks/Fakenstocks? Gosh, they're everywhere. I know stores like Payless and I think American Eagle have them, so you might want to check their websites. If you want the real deal, I'm sure Birkinstock has a website. Just type it in Google.

well im 13 (white) and this 15 year old (black)..likes me and a lot i guess. i dont no what to do, im not racist but i dont want to hurt his feelings..ive never been in a situation like this b4..please help

Just tell him that you don't like him that way. You don't even have to mention anything about race. If he asks, just be like, "No, it's not that. I just don't have a thing for you."

ok i know this is stupid.But i have a boyfriend and im scared to tell my parents. They wont get mad at me or anything for having a boyfriend the thing is i just dont know how to tell them. How should i tell them??

Hahaha...Oh wow. I didn't tell my parents about my first two or three or maybe even four boyfriends!!! I just didn't know how to bring it up! I don't think they even knew I liked boys till' like eighth grade. What I did was have the boy call me and instead of answering right away before my 'rents even heard the first ring, I let one of them answer it. After I was done talking, they were like, "Oooooh!!! A booyfriend??" It makes it a lot easier when they ask you. Then it's almost as if THEY'RE the ones bringing it up, and you can just say, "yeah...maybe..." instead of having to bring it up.
