I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.

Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

I want to know why people always talk such trash about mormans. Yea I am morman but that has nothing to do with it. Just because people arnt in a certain religion doesnt mean they have the right to talk trash about it. So my question is why do people do it? and why is it mostly mormans they talk about? Thanks. (link)
I don't trash talk them, but I can only rationalize that there are very, very bad people who are publicized that practice this religion. However, people should know that just because there are some bad people in that religion (just as there is in all the others), it doesn't make the rest of them bad, but people get an impression and stick with it. I think the whole polygamy thing that some of the more radical mormons practice freaks people out, and because it's strange to them, they talk shit because they don't understand and generalize it to apply to all mormons.

your feedback: Uh wake up call! actually what you are doing right now is talking trash. get your facts straight.

I think you need a bit of a wake up call yourself, ms. priss. Everything I said was pure fact. People DO get freaked out about polygamy- whether you like it or not. Ignoring that fact won't make it go away. Same thing with bad people belonging to EVERY religion, yes, little girl, that includes yours. I'm baptised Catholic and will be the first to say that there are awful people who represent that religion. Don't be so quick to be offended, and stop being a little bitchy snob.:)


ok..im 13 and i still have huuge love handles. people always tell me that i should do side crunches to get rid of them...but i've been doing them for like a year..and nothing happens!! what else should i try? (link)
I bet if you started jogging a mile or two every day and then gradually started adding on distance as your body gets more used to it you'd start dropping weight everywhere, not just your sides.


Alright im having this pointless little fued between me and my friend and on that song smooth criminal by Alien ant farm.. what does it say? on the chorus?

Annie are you OK Are you OK?


is that what is says? My friend clains it doesnt really say Annie (link)
It's actually by Micheal Jackson. Alien Ant Farm only covered it.

If you're so sick of it, why are you here still? For me, I am serious about giving help, but like I've said before, sometimes it's hard to take a person seriously when they can't take their question seriously enough to type it out coherently. Sure, you could suspend the people, and I'm sure they get suspended and you just don't hear about it. Either way, it's just how the real world is. There are going to be your rude people, your nice people, every kind of person...and it's something that needs to be dealt with. If you think some advice web site is bad, maybe you need a reality check.

Thank you!

You write in a lot of caps. You might not want to do that because you could get kicked off for it. hehe


okay so tonight my bf and i were in the hott tub.. kinda fooling around. no we didnt have sex. But i did end up getting alittttleee excited and i think he did too. But it was all touching n stuff. ANYWAY.. its pretty silly buttt is there anyway i could possibly get pregnant if he did ejaculate? i mean theres cylorine.. and stuff. but idk. just wanted to see if theres a possible chance.
dont be lame with your answers. its not a joke. An honest answer would be greatly appreciated.

5 for whoever can tell me. (link)
Nah...you don't have much to worry about being in the hot tub unless he literally came inside of you, in which case you'd be at risk in any place.


i dont know what this goes under. but me and my bf have been sexually active. there was a point when we thought i was pregnant. we were relieved when we found out i wasnt. but ive been babysitting a newborn baby. adn she is just so cute. i babysit her for hours 5 nights a week. he helps me. adn he does a great job. we both want a baby now. but were in high school. juniors. how can we get over this. i mean wanting a baby. ill rate high. plez help (link)
Take a child development class where they make you carry around a crying baby doll 24/7, and then see if you want a baby. If you still do, get help or something...just...whatever you do, don't have a kid now! Please wait until you have more of an education and stable jobs... not to mention you don't KNOW that you'll be with this guy for the next 18 years (even if you feel 100% sure, nothing is ever for sure). Wait another 5 years at least, please, if not for yourselves, then for the potential child. You could give it a much better life later on.

ok i have know this guy for like ever and we have never dated and we jsut hang out he has dated like all of my friends and now he says that he has had a crush on me since like forever and well i started dateing him like a week and go and now he say that he was to have sex with me my mom all was says that u need to betogeter for like 3 weeks and stuff but i mean could i just have sex with him since i have know him for ever but then my mom would be mad at me for ever some one plz help (link)
All right first of all...you should probably wait more than three weeks before you have sex with him. You'll come to learn that if a guy is already pressuring sex a week into a relationship he's probably not a keeper. If you really like him that much, then stay with him, but don't put out just yet. He'll stay if he's worth putting out for, and he won't wait around long if he's not. You should wait at least months, not weeks, before having sex with him, especially at a younger age. Give it 6 months or a year and see where it goes. I know that sounds like forever but if you really love him then it will be worth the wait.


does anyone know the acceptance rate for Harvard, Yale, and Providence College in Rhode Island? (link)
They're all mostly about 12-13%, but princetonreview.com has some more precise stats.


I think Well I know I love this one guy from school. I don't know what to do. I've been writing him notes(but i don't tell him it's me)and like he's only writen back once and he thought it was my friend. I want him to know that I like him. I've liked him since like EVER! I mean the day I saw him in 4th grade I like fell inlove!
Help me Please!
Signed,
Luv Struck. (link)
Okay well..first...this isn't a sex question. It falls under love life...but I suppose that doesn't really matter.

If you really want him to know, obviously you need to tell him that you've been writing the notes, or at LEAST sign the note saying that it's you. Just write something like..."Hey, I'm the one who's always written the notes... I've liked you for a while and I want to know if you feel the same way. -Your name" It's that simple. It might make you really nervous to do it but you'll at least feel a lot better afterward and you can finally get some closure.

would you consider someone who

*tap, jazz, and hip-hop dances
*used to listen to britney spears, went to 2 of her concerts, owns her autorgrpah and danced to her songs on his porch
*loves pretty woman & thats so raven
*and gets excited when going to the mall or shopping

gay? do all of those things add up to gay also he gets overly excited about gossip. . . do you think hes gay? he denies it but it seems like he is, i want to believe him since hes my friend but theres so many signs!! aghh (link)
Well, I know you're really curious and all, but when it comes down to it, it's really none of your business. Besides that, if he's not, it probably hurts his feelings to be asked that. and...if he is, then he's just not ready to come out yet and you shouldn't push it. Yeah, a lot of gay teenagers especially probably like that stuff, but have you ever thought that a lot of straight guys might secretly like some of that stuff and they just don't say anything about it because they're afraid of what other people think? Maybe your friend just doesn't give a shit, and that's a really cool attribute. Whatever it is, it shouldn't matter if he's gay, and if it does, maybe you should reevaluate your own priorities...


Please don't delete this question, because I am actually very curious about this. Why do people join this website who aren't even serious about helping people or receiving help? People who need help come here and some ignorant people joke around and even insult these people in need. Don't you think it's time we suspend or expel these rude people? I'm sick of it myself. (link)

This isn't one of those am I fat questions.


I'm 5'4 and weight 113lbs. I know I'm not fat or anywhere near there. When I am with my friends, or any other girls really, I feel confident and that I'm the right size. But, when I'm alone I look at myself and start thinking that I could loose a few more lbs. I'll get so caught up in it that I won't even go near a mirror for the rest of the day. I'm not sure why I do this. Any help? :/ (link)
Have you ever stared at a word for too long and it started to look like it was spelt wrong? ...Or maybe you tried too long to figure out a math problem and it just wouldn't come to you... so later when you went back to it and hardly thought about it at all, it came out really quickly? Sometimes people just think too much about certain things. When you're alone, you have time to think and become a prisoner of your own thoughts. Add a mirror into this equation, and you start to do some serious overanalyzing of your body. The more you think about it, the more distorted it becomes, like that word or that math problem. It's good to look in the mirror and pay attention to how you look, but looking in a mirror too long isn't good for you. It's vain and obviously doesn't help you with anything. Avoid staring in mirrors for too long at your body and always remember to remind yourself that no matter what tricks your mind plays on you, you are still a good, healthy weight and that your appearance is fine, with or without the mirror. Good luck with everything.


My bf and I have been together for a long time, but we've never had sex yet. I feel that I'm ready now and have already gone and bought some really sexy pink lacy panties and a matching bra. I have a new bed that I decorated with pink throw pillows. I want this to be a night to remember. This is what I had in mind: I was going to decorate my whole appartment with scented pink candles, and throw rose petals on the bed. I was thinking of having a tray of strawbarries on the bed and a bottle of wine for us to have before we made love.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to what I can do to set the mood? What sort of music should I play?
I'll rate 5s! (link)
That sounds cool and all but... well.. let's face it... if you're losing your virginity, it's not going to be romantic. the movies play it up like it will be, but generally it's painful and awkward. use lube and have foreplay. I don't know what to tell you about the music...just don't be too let down if it's not as romantic as you pictured..


Well, i just became a goth and my mom made me a deal that if i message her i could get some gothicwear. I was wondering what i should get? Any ideas?
all 5's (link)
Umm... well, I think it's kind of absurd that you're "becoming" a label and it's kind of strange but... whatever. I'm not really here to lecture you on that nor do I have the energy. Either way, I still feel like I need to tell you NOT TO GO TO HOT TOPIC IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A "GOTH" THAT BAD. I'm not really sure what rock these other people have been under, but Hot Topic is not goth. It's a lot of black clothing and good band shirts that got so overproduced they turned bad all aimed at kids who think they're so rebellious and dark and deep. Every once in a while I shop there for a couple things, so it's not like it's the antichrist, but it is also by no means goth. I think you should google for goth clothes and see what comes up. The British sites tend to have better stuff, but it gets expensive. Have fun.



Ok,I just found out that this girl has been putting birth control pills in my food at lunch,I need too know if anything bad is going to happen to me because of this. I'm really worried because I'm a guy,should I go to the Doctors??? Or is there a website I can go to and check if anything bad is going to happen to me because of this. (link)
Get proof and turn her ass in. That isn't right in the least bit. I don't think anything will happen to you because of this but ...I mean...why the hell would someone put birth control into someone's lunch?? Where the fuck does she get off thinking she can decide what to put in others' bodies like that? What a psychotic little wench! You definitely should take some action, even if you won't really suffer any bodily harm.


I'm suddenly a vegeterian, 2 days ago in the mail I got this magazine and a cd from PETA which is apart of goveg.com. Everytime I think about trying to eat meat, I keep getting the images from what I saw on the DVD stuck in my head.

Does anyone know any good vegeterian meals. I'm don't like peppers and onions and almost every premade meal such as veggie burgers have them in it.
(link)
You know why that dvd is stuck in your head?

It's a nice little thing we like to call propaganda. It's meant to brainwash you.

That's not to say that what they are saying are lies, by any means. They just overexaggerate everything, try to show the worst of it, and overall just want to convince you to think like they do. Try to protect yourself from being impressionable to propaganda in the future; it can get dangerous.

But that's not what you were asking! .. Lots of Mexican food seems to have vegetarian dishes. There are a million different types of pastas you can eat and salads can be good. Try googling "vegetarian meals" and see what comes up.


I just got this new buddy icon. It has a pic of Elmo scowling with a gun and says "Elmo Gone Wild!" I kinda like it, but I'm not sure about anyone else. Do you think people would find it disturblingly controversial? (link)
Whoever's offended by that needs to get the stick out of their ass. It's funny.:)


I have a friend named Tara. Shes in 12th grade, graduating this year, and going to college for Theater.. I've been quite worried about her lately, because i know that she cant have her whole life rely on Theater. She wasted her past 6 years working to be an actress. And shes not all that bad, but someone from a small town and such like ours, prolly wont get very far. I've tryed talking to her about other options. I dont want her whole life to be thrown out the window because of some, un-realistic dream.. Do you think that I should try harder to convince her that theres more to life than thearter.. and thats just there as something to do on the side? Or should I let her make her own mistakes? (link)
Wow, this is extremely insulting.

Quit acting like you know what you're talking about. She wants to do theatre, let her do theatre! There will always be job openings for her to be a theatre teacher if worst comes to worst. I've been doing theatre throughout high school and plan to have one of my majors in it and it's not "throwing your life out the window" to do it. If you get a college education, you can get a job, period. They don't care if you majored in theatre. There are always ways to make money and she's not ruining her life by doing it and condemning herself to a life of poverty. You should leave her alone, but it wont be becuase you are "letting her make her own mistakes." You should do it so that you can worry about your own freakin' life and maybe judge yourself before you go talking shit to other people. I don't even believe in God, but I believe very strongly in the moral behind "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." I think you're more likely to throw your life away on being cynical and unsupportive than someone who has a talent and wants to pursue it.

Edit:

P.S. Telling me to "believe in god" and calling me a "stupid whore" really makes me sad and makes me cry emo tears. I really care, seriously, I do.
Get a life, you close- minded, incorrigible FOOL. Don't know what incorrigible means? Who's the stupid one now? Don't dish it out if you can't take it.


my husband takes seroqueal at night to help sleep & 4 bipolar. he used to want sex alot but for last 1 1/2 yrs. only 1 or 2x a mo. i never used to want it but now i always want it. i need to know what i can take that will reduce my sex drive? we are both 38 yrs. i don't know if theres something otc i can take or if i need to ask the dr. 4 somethin spasific or even if there's a food that i can use. please help me. i don't know what else to do. it's definately not a lack of luv on his part he blames the meds. and all other aspects r fine thanx... (link)
I hear certain types of birth control can lower a woman's sex drive. Antidepressants can, too, but I wouldn't suggest going on those unless you are actually depressed. A gynecologist would probably be able to give you more details.
