My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.

Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.

On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.

If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

Do It Yourself


my boyfriend and i had anal sex and i kind of pooped a little....it was on the condom and he was like "you pooped". i was so embarrased but does that happen often. (link)
It is normal, and that is why a lot of people that have anal sex (especially gay men, because they're experts) give themselves enemas before actually having the sex. Like in the shower. Or a couple of soapy fingers up there could help too.

But either way, if he's going to put his penis there, he shouldn't care that much.


15/f
i think that im slowly developing an eating disorder
i find myself afraid of gaining weight
i dont binge and purge
my relationship with food isint the same
im very defencive when people say im anorexic
because i do eat
i just dont have a healthy way of eating without regreting what ive done

im 15/f 5'6" 100lbs.

im not sur if thats healthy of not
im always thinking about ways to lose weight
and today all ive eaten was yogurt

i would hate to one day call myself anorexic

i dont know how to stop this
im not happy with the way i look ...

how can i stop this ...
(link)
You are not at a healthy weight. You are UNDERWEIGHT...very much so. According to your height and weight, you already fall into the anorexic category.

You cannot go a whole day just eating yogurt. And if your friends are concerned, that should be your first clue. They're trying to help you.

Most girls aren't completely happy with how they look, but if you're going to extremes (like not eating enough) in order to lose weight that you shouldn't be losing, there is a psychological problem.

I would suggest talking to your parents or a guidance counselor about this. And that person should take you to a doctor. They'll probably give you some therapy sessions for it. Anorexia is very difficult to cure, and most people can't do it alone.

I'm not saying that you're full blown anorexic, but you're definitely getting there. You are way too skinny. Definitely don't let this go, talk to someone about it.


What are some signs that your boyfriend is gay ? Has anyone had an expirence where theyre boyfriend turned out gay? How did it go? How did you find out? (link)
Well first you have to ask yourself why you think he MIGHT be gay. If you gave some examples or something of what he does/says that makes you think this way, that would help us a lot. Being the most specific you can be on this site is best if you want good advice.

But anyways, one thing is to not assume he's gay because his immature little friends say "what a fag" or something stupid like that. Now, if some guy tells you that he made out with your boyfriend, that's a different story. ;)

Another thing is to not assume he's gay because of the way he talks or walks. Don't be stereotypical. Even if he "sounds gay", it doesn't mean he is.

Some other things would be checking out other guys, touching other guys in ways that seem a little too friendly, making comments about other men that are suspicious to you, etc.

But really, there are no signs that are a tell-tale sign that your boyfriend is gay...or that anyone is gay. If you feel comfortable enough to ask him about it, do that, but who knows if he'd tell the truth? He probably wouldn't on this subject.

Unless you have something to really worry about or some big reason to think he may be gay, I wouldn't fret too much. Just let it slide and see how it goes, just watch him a little and see if anything seems suspicious.

If he's gay, he's gay. There's nothing you can do about it. If he's not, then then there's nothing to worry about.


wat is metrosexual?? give me examples of people please (link)
A straight male who has taste. They take care of themselves...have hair products, dress nice, and sometimes get manicures or facials or massages and stuff. They smell better and are a lot less disgusting than most other guys and many girls prefer them.


whats the brown kinda yellow stuff coming out of my vagina sometimes. (link)
If you have brown discharge, it could be an infection. You should see a doctor about it if it goes on for a while.


Well one time I was wokring on my project so hard that I skipped lunch. The day after, I wasn't even hungry at lunch time anymore and no matter how hard I try to eat, my tummy won't let me.

I just don't feel hungry anymore, i feel so full all the time and now it takes me an hour to eat my dinner.

Something wrong? (link)
If you're honestly TRYING to eat, you're not anorexic. I've skipped lunch because I was busy before, it's not that big of a deal. The definition or anorexia is that you don't eat in order to not get fat...not because you always feel full.

I've felt like crap all this week and barely ate anything because of it, so I know how you feel. It could be that you're getting sick...maybe a stomach virus or something.

If it goes on for another week or so, try going to the doctor to see what they say. You should be fine, but it's better safe than sorry.


The boy I talk to only came over my house once and we only just talk on the phone. A few things that he do that I don't like is when he see me he just say hi or not and that would be it for the whole day until he calls me after school. But another thing is that all his friends call me his name when they see me and they know we talk and everybody in school know. But why is it that he don't act like he want to be around when all his friends stop and talk to me and always hang around me. Everynight when we talk he acts like he cares so much and like I never ask him to come over or to go out. I hate when it seems like he just want to hang out with his friends out of school, just ride dirt bikes and whatever else he be doing. When I asked him why he treat me this way he said, "That's because I really like you". I don't understand why he treats me this way like I'm not even there but just walking right by me. But I realized he will want to be around and want to talk to me when all his friends around. So what why do he act this way and what should I do?
(link)
Well it sounds to me like he has some issues. It's plain rude and immature to basically ignore you in school around other people but talk to you all nice on the phone. There are pretty much two solutions:

1) Forget about him. That's a real asshole thing to do, and you deserve better.
2) Talk to him about it. Tell him that you feel like crap when he does that...like he's embarrassed of you or something, and see what he says.

Hope that helps!


k well like if i start to run everyday for like 30 minutes, will like my legs get all muscular,
because someone told me running turns the fat into muscle, or does it burn the fat off then start tog gain muscle, cos i dnt wanna be more muscular so could i like stop after i lose the fat?

&like would running help your whole body. (link)
Running will not make your legs bulky. I ran 20 minutes 5-6 days a week for a long time and my legs didn't get muscular, just smaller.

As for stopping after they slim down, that won't work. If you're going to work out, you have to stick with it or your legs will just end up how they are now again.

And yes, running is cardio and is good for all over weight loss.


69.. what is it exactly.?
thanks.. (link)
It is a sexual position in which oral sex is given to both partners at the same time. You either lie on your sides or one on top of the other. If it's a guy and a girl, the guy would be giving the girl oral at the same time that the girl would be giving the guy a blow job. The reason the number is associated with it is because that's sort of the shape made by the two people doing 69.

Here's a little image for ya:

I have a bunch of moles that I would really like to get removed. How much would it cost for this? And how long does it take to heal? (link)
Wow, something I actually know about. Ok, well a lot of times your insurance will cover mole removal for health purposes, especially if you have more than 100 on your entire body. If not, they should cover at least some of it. If they didn't cover anything, it would be somewhere from $125-$150.

If you don't have a dermatologist now or haven't done this, you'll get a whole body search where they'll look for cancerous moles or other suspicious things on your entire body. Then if they find any that are too dark for them to feel comfortable with, they'll insist on removing it. If that's the case, it SHOULD be paid for (I'm just assuming you have insurance).

When you get one removed, they'll numb the area, which of course is the most painful part. But it's just a little sting, not too bad. Then they'll clean the area and either cut it out or "punch" it out. Then they'll give you a few stitches, put a band-aid over it, and you'll be on your way in no time.

You can get the stitches removed anywhere from 7-10 days depending on what you're doctor says. That doesn't hurt either. For those 7-10 days, you'll keep it covered with a band-aid and clean it once a day, changing the band-aid and butting something like vaseline or bactitracyn on it so it'll heal faster.

After the stitches are out, it's pretty much healed. There's no pain AT ALL after the first day. And that's only a little soreness once the numbing medication wears off. They'll probably give you extra strength Tylonol for that.

The one thing you doctor will tell you is that there WILL be a scar. I've had 6 removed...

-A little one by my ear (too dark)
-Above my lip
-My neck
-The back of my arm
-My chest
-The back of my neck

...and the only one that made a scar that you can actually notice is my chest. The chest scars really easily, but I'd still rather have that than what used to be there.

Hope I helped. :)


im in 8th grade right now, but next year ill be in highschool, and i was just wondering how big of a deal is it, to have sex? like its already starting to happen this year. and i keep getting offers, but im kinda like against it. would i be made fun of if i dont? (link)
If you're not ready to have sex, DON'T DO IT! Never do something you don't want to do. And if you ask me, you're too young to be having sex.

I'm 17, a junior in high school, and still a virgin. I've never been made fun of because of it...ever. If guys know you've had sex, they could think you're easy. And that's not good.

Plus, the GOOD guys and GOOD friends will just respect you more for not whoring yourself around.


me and my friends were talking to this guy on the phone. tina was like, "melissa and __(me) are making out!" and then the guy laughed and was like, "stop teasing me." what does that mean exactly? (link)
The fact of life is that guys love watching/thinking about two girls kissing, or anything really. He said "stop teasing me" as, I'm guessing, a playful way of saying "yeah right, I wish".


me and my boyfriend have been talking and we need a song! he likes kind of the songs by hinder and daughtry, which id ont mind, and i kind of like the more hiphoppy songs.Anyone have any suggestions?? (link)
If you are talking about songs that when you hear it you can say "oh, that's our song", then it usually isn't a song that you PICK. It's usually the song you first kiss to or the first song you dance to or the song that was playing when he first told you he loved you, etc. It usually isn't a planned song.

BUT, since the question asked for suggestions, I only have two and they're from the '90s, but I love them and they're good relationship songs.

so i am extremly in love with this guy who likes me back , but the problem is that his best friend also loves me. (he's like obsessed with me..seriously) so the guy i like ,letz just call him J never told his best friend , letz call him B that he likes me back because he knows B likes me. but J always chats with me and i'm like rly good friends with him , but i never rly talk 2 B. so B is kinda jealous at J and asked him 2 keep more distance. because J is like a real goodie goodie he doesn't talk 2 me anymore just because B asked him 2 EVEN THOUGH HE LIKES ME!!! so i am rly pissed at B coz he doesn't make a move anyway and because of him J doesn't talk to me anymore!!
what am i gonna doooo????? (link)
I agree with the last person, you should tell them both how you feel...especially B because if you don't like him and he KNOWS that, he'll probably leave you alone.

Also, J didn't stop talking to you because he's a goody goody...he did it because he's a good friend to B. That's a GOOD thing. Choosing friends before girls is the best thing a guy can do. And it's not good to break up that friendship over a possible two week "relationship" with someone.

I don't mean to sound like a bitch, I'm just saying. But yeah, just tell B you're not into him...NICELY! But there's no guarantee that because you do that J will want to be with you. If he's still loyal to his friend he may just want to leave it alone.


When I shave my vagina there are always parts I can't really get at because they are way too close to the middle and I'm afraid of hurting something in the middle! Also, I can never get rid of all the hair. Any helpful tips? (link)
They have disposable mini razors especially made for those hard to shave areas on the pubic region. You can get them at any store. They're very small so you can get close to the crevice. Also, if you spread it apart and be careful, you shouldn't hurt anything in there, like your clit or anything.


Okay, so i have very hairy armpits. I want to get rid of the hair, but i dont want to tell my mom because i'd be totally embarassed. And also, i dnt want to shave or wax it. What can i do? Is there anything i can do to get rid of hair? (link)
Well, how old are you? You're going to have to shave sooner or later. All women shave under their arms...and for most of us it has to be done every day.

Also, your mother has to shave under her arms too. If not, she's be one hairy woman. So telling her shouldn't be embarrassing, she has the same thing. Once you get to the age where you start growing body hair, you'll eventually have to do something about it.

I'd say shaving is your best bet, unless you have some good reason why you don't want to do that. Other than waxing and shaving, the only solution would be hair removing gels or lotions.

Veet burns your skin. DON'T use it. Maybe Nair for extremely sensitive skin. The skin under your arms is very thin, and products that burn the hair away can irritate your skin badly. But even if you find one that doesn't irritate your skin, the hair has to be 1/4 of an inch long at least to use them again. So you'd have to grow the hair out a bunch each time you take the hair off.

...which is why most of us girls just shave it off every morning in the shower.


Which has a larger volume per pound? Well-toned muscle or fat? (In other words, which is bigger: a pound of fat or a pound of well-toned muscle?) (link)
Fat is more voluminous. Plus, muscle just looks better.


I just got a new bathing suit, and i got 2 tops w/ one bottom peice. One top is a tankini, and the other is a bikini (and fits loads better than the tankini), but its one of the non-slutty ones. The problem is, i'm a total chicken and don't know if i have enough guts to wear the bikini in public. I've only ever worn one peices and tankinis, so i'd feel pretty awkward. I have a pretty average body, too. i'm definitely not fat, but i don't have a perfect body, by any means. so, should i just stick to the tankini? or if i should wear the bikini, how can i overcome the insecurities? I just wanna swim, not worry. (link)
Definitely DON'T cover your stomach with your arms in a bikini like someone said to do. That just brings attention to your insecurities.

If you just want to feel comfortable and carefree, wear the tankini. But I urge you to wear the bikini at least once.

Here's what you do, even if you don't feel confident, ACT like you do! No one will be able to tell the difference and a girl with confidence is the most attractive. You may be uncomfortable, but once you see the reactions of others you will feel more at ease.

No one is going to laugh at you or say "she definitely shouldn't be wearing a bikini with that body". Chances are that no one will notice. And even if they do, they won't care. And even if they do, it most likely won't be negative.

I'm the same way as you. I would never go in public in a bikini...but if I were to do it, this is how it should be done.

Who knows? You might come out of the summer with a newfound confidence you didn't know you had.


Okay, so like I hear all these people talking about how they have Adobe Photoshop. I think it's like $300. And these people that I know wouldn't pay $300 for a program. So like how is everybody getting it? One of my friends has the new version 9 or cs2 or whatever but she said she got it for free. Did she lie? Can you download it? Or are they buying it cheap somewhere? (link)
Photoshop is very expensive and, you're right, barely anyone buys it new. I got mine off of eBay for $50. It's just a CD with a serial code and you can put it on any computer you ever have. A GREAT deal. Just go to eBay and search for "Photoshop 7" or "Photoshop CS". It also comes with ImageReady, which is what you use to make animations (ie moving pictures).

It's a great program, just make sure you get a reliable seller. Look at their feedback before you bid. :)
