T'm 14 and I'm a girl. I've never had a boyfriend I don't enen talk to guys. I'm really shy. I really want to have a boyfriend, but I know that no guy likes me anyways. What should I do?

Get to know the guys better! Don't be shy to talk to them! I doubt a guy would turn you down for a simple conversation! Talk about something everyone can relate to like music or movies. Good luck!

I'm really bad at starting conversations with people. I've been rejected by SO many guys because I'm "to quiet". I know i should be myself but the thing is that I don't want to be the girl that keeps her mouth shut all the time. If you could give me some good ways to start good conversations with people (Boys mostly) that would be great. Thanks!

I used to be the same way. But now I never want to shut up! Just say something totally random and off subject! Think outloud. You'd definetly be able to start a conversation with someone that way. It always starts a conversation for me. Hmm, but sorry if I didn't help much! But I think you'll eventually grow out of it! I think everyone has their shy stages!

I have music on my Windows Media Player that I want to get URL's for so I can put them on my websites. But I've looked everywhere and cant find anything. Is there a way I can make my own url's through my media player? If so, how? Thanks:)

To get the URLs all you have to do is RIGHT CLICK on the song / choose PROPERTIES / and then copy the link. If you want more songs also, you can go to:

..It has a butt load of sites with songs of dfferent genres.

when i was a little girl my aunt went out with this really tall and ugly guy. he was nice but he liked to play with my private area and he stuck his in side mine a few times. i dont considder it rape or sexual abuse but i dont no what 2 say when people ask me if i am a virgin cuz besides that little thing i havent had any sex. what should i tell people. i dont mind it if people no that i am not a virgin but i really mind it if i have to tell them how i lost mi virginity and when. so am i still considerred a virgin or not and wat should i say wen people ask me that question?

You would be considered a virgin if your hymen broke from that guy. So if you remember any bleeding from that, then I wouldn't consider you a virgin. And if your hymen did break from him, then you don't have to tell people. Sex is normally a private thing that you don't have to share with people!

So i met this guy, and by his looks he is definitely not my type. Infact, i dont go for guys out of my race. (He's still half white though). But he has an amazing personalility, all the qualities of a guy im looking for; he's beyond perfect. I want to ask him out, but the looks are bothering me. I know looks have nothing to do with anything, but even though i like him, i dont think i could do anything physical with him like kissing. Do you think its just because its in my head? And do you think a relationship can last even though you arent sexually attracted to them? Do you think i should just be friends or go for something more?

Yes I think it's all in your head. Yes I think a relationship can last even though there's no physical things happening. No I don't think you should just be friends with him. If he's really that perfect, give it a shot. You could be surprised. Eventaully, you're going to want something physical. Not necessarily sex though.

my mom has the perfect boyfriend, i love him to death! for every other day the past month my mom has been going out with friends from like 7 pm to in btween 3 and 4 am ! a few of my friends moms even think she is an irresponsible parent! her bf is even begging to think that. eveybody is worried. she wont listen to me or her bf when we try to help! we all want them to get married, but even her bf sed he hopes she doesnt ruin it in the end! (its a long distance relationship, we live in la, he lives in san fransico)

I would give her a taste of her own medicine. But let her boyfriend know about your plan before he thinks you're following in her footsteps. I would stay at a friends house or something all night and come home in the early morning and tell her you were just hanging out with some friends at a party or something. I hope this works for you because I friend exactly like this!

My friend ((We'll call her M)) is a total sl**. She knows it and is proud of it. She stabs people in the back and screws you over. She turns on you and talks crap on you behind your back. My 2 best friends and i ditched her because we knew she wasn't a good friend to have. Now she is friends with lots of girls... at least she thinks she is. They all hate her, but they won't tell her! I wouldn't mind becoming friends with her again, but how can i learn to trust her and believe what she tells me if she did all this stuff to me the first time around?

A person like her won't change right away. It'll take some big loss of hers for her to change. She needs something be taken away from her or something like that to make her realize that her attitude needs to be changed before she loses anything else. I would leave things the way they are. When she realizes she misses you and promises to be there for you, I would try to trust her little by little. Good luck!

Is there a way so find out someones screen name (like on the computer) on AIM if you have there name?

(besides asking them...duh)

Thanks

You click on PEOPLE and then and then FIND A BUDDY and then you have the option of BY EMAIL ADDRESS / BY NAME AND ADDRESS / BY COMMON INTEREST. This only works if that person you're looking for allows people to search for them though.

I am interested in substances that can be smoked to get high/stoned that aren't already known drugs. I have done some research and have read about smoking banana peels and tea but I want to know about other things that can be smoked with good results.

I've heard of smoking Qtips.

Ive waxed before but only on my face. Im tired of shaving everything below my chin!!!!! What is safe to wax. I mean what areas. Should I go to a pro for it?????

I say you should go to the professionals when it comes to waxing your face. You might accidently leave the wax on for too long and it'll burn your skin and you'll have his big scab on your face. It's not too pretty. So I say just go get it done professionally!

Im 15 and still havent.."madeout" w/ a guy..is that bad?

It's not bad at all! Don't ever makeout with a guy unless you really want to! Don't feel pressured to do it! Do it when you really feel that connection with that person. It will make it that much more unforgettable!

ok so me and this guy have been going out for about 4 months, im 14, female, and i luv him soo much! We hav made-out and been to each others houses, also hes looked down my shirt and lil things nuthing totally taking clothes off or anything, i definately dont want to have sex because im a christian and ive made that promise so what should we do if i want more than just making out?

I've definetly been in this same exact situation! I would just stick to some touching and kissing in different places. Try new some new things. I bought some handcuffs from Spencers and some whip cream and had fun that way. But we definetly didn't do anything too bad. Some touching with clothes still on is still ok. I would just go as far as I could possibly go with clothes on and a little bit of showing ya know? And it's great that you're wanting to wait it out!

Aw, well definetly tell her how you feel! Girls love it when you turn out to be big ol' softies and tell then exactly how you feel! If it's all comming from your heart, I think she would definetly drop everything just to be with you! But make sure before you two get together that things are totally done with her and her boyfiend! But just tell her how you feel!

so today i asked a guy i really like to be my b/f and he said yes after keeping me in suspence for a few hours during the school day. hes really shy all the time so i asked him out. im afraid this relationship isnt gonna work out cuz he wont call or talk to me... should i give it some time to get comfy (if yes, how should i help him) or just tell him to forget it?

I would give it some time. I know I used to be exactly like this guy until I got comfortable in the relationship. To help him, just get to know him. Make sure he knows that you really do like him. Eventually he'll get comfortable and start calling you. But if things don't change at all after about 3 weeks, then maybe there's no point in the relationship. But good luck!

Does anyone no how to get eye makeup off, anything but vasiline or is thta the only thing that workds?

I have this liquid stuff that's from Almay and it's specifically an eye makeup remover. It works pretty well for me. You can get it just about anywhere else you get your makeup things.

So many people in my grade have a b/f or g/f but they don't take it seriuosly. In the hall all they do is say "hey" to each other, they talk to each other on-line about "who knows what?" and in their binders they write "I love----". They don't talk on the fone or anything like that.I feel so left out, but if i ask a girl out it would be weird for me to be going out w/ a girl and telling everyone, but the girl wouldn't look me in the eye or anything like that. it's so stupid. What could i do so i don't feel left out?

What a girl really wants is to show her that you're totally commited to her and that you really care about her. If you show her you do, then she would show you the same return and it won't be the 6th grade relationship anymore. You have to really get to know her before she opens up to you!

When you go to the doctor just to get meds. for the flu or something...do they still weigh you? I know they do when you go in for a physical or a check-up but what if you just have the flu?

They weighed me when I went in to see what I had becuase I was just so sick! It turned out I had the stomach flu. But I think they do still weigh you.

Hey. I'm in the 7th grade, and for my grade in math for the 3rd quarter, I know I got a 87.45% B+. Can that be rounded to an A?

In school they only round it from the nearest tenth. So it would stay an 87. But if you get an A on the next worksheet, you might be able to raise it to and 88.

Okay, so I'm 14 f. About a year ago my breasts had a growth spurt and now I have stretch marks! I can't wear anything slightly low cut or you see ugly red lines. I'm not a slut or anything, but going to the beach I need to show a little... anybody know what to do?

There's some creams at drugstores that are for stretch marks! Hopefully they'll work for you!

i know alot of girls probably do this.. but i always compare myself to models and girls who i believe are prettier than me.. im always putting myself down and looking in the mirror finding everything thats wrong with me and wishing i was perfect like other girls I know... does anyone else do the same.. how do you get over it

I always used to look at myself and think that I don't look pretty enough. But I kind of grew out of it by just accepting my body. I would look in the mirror with just a bra and underwear and just look at myself and eventually I said that it was good enough and it didn't matter what other people thought. You just need to learn to love your body! It might take some time though!
