Are men put off by stretchmarks? (link)
well im a girl and all but when my 2 older brothers and my dad see stretchmarks theyre grossed out. i dont like stretchmarks either


Hey my name is rachel and iam 14 years old and my twin sister named michelle is 14 and she told me she was pregnant and i don't know what to do I know I should tell my mom,but iam afraid she'd never talk to me again iam so scared what should I do? (link)
you need to tell her to tell your mom cuz when her belly grows its gonna be no secret. if she says no tell your mom and tell her not to tell ur twin immediately, just think of something to get her to admit shes pregnant, like why shes been throwing up so much *morning sickness* or why shes been gaining weight, eating so much,and so on. even if your mom does tell immediately, who cares? your twin has to talk to you shes your sister.


How do i calculate my GPA? My grades are : A-, B, B, B, B+, A- I am in all honors courses. (link)
add up all ur percentages and divide by the number of grades you got. or you could do this. A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 everything lower is zero and you would still have to make it count it. then divide by the number of numbers. my grades as example *not nearly as good as urs* 5 A's 3 C's. 4+4+4+4+4+3+3+3=26 divided by 8 subjects is 3.25, which is a b average


What exactly does booty call mean? (link)
its basically when a guy just wants a girl for sex, sleeps wit them just to sleep wit them, and ditches her afterwards. thats how i see it. theres also a dance called the booty call and its real fun


Hey, Im a 16/f and recently i stayed over and one of my guy friends house, and we were fooling around and ended up having sex, and he told me he wanted our relationship to stay as friends but still be able to do things like that. Do you think thats wrong? (link)
umm, yea i think thats wrong. i think any situation you wouldnt enjoy telling your mom and dad is wrong, and i dont like the idea of friends with benefits anyways. Do you really think you would enjoy having sex with a guy who could have a girlfriend? do you think your friends girlfriend would like that? i just dont think its cool and I wouldnt suggest it-i certainly wouldnt do it.


I cut my hair about two months ago, really short, and I hated it. It's grown about two inches, which is great! But now, it's stopped growing, literally. I haven't had to get it trimmed in weeks, and it seriously hasn't gotten longer. I want it to be atleast three inches longer so how do I get it to grow faster/longer?

[ I already use Garnier length&strength] (link)
Supposedly, there is no way to grow your hair. i dont really believe it but this is what i believe.Hair vitamins or vitamins in general make you healthier so it would make your hair healthier which would probably would make your hair grow. People who lose weight or change diets grow a little hair, prenatal pills help you grow your hair, rogaine makes your hair grow. avoid lotions and false claims like "grow hair in 5 days!!" look up things bad for your hair and dont do them. im interested in buying hair formula 47. you can look at fasterhairgrowth.com.


16/f

I have horrible cramps. They are so bad I can't stand up straight and I'm almost in tears. How can I lessen the pain? I tried ibuprofen but it's not helping and a heating pad doesn't work either. (link)
try to avoid caffine it increases cramps. asprin relieves menstrual cramps but im not sure if it would help with normal cramps but u could try. celebrex and tylenol might help if all else fails. you could try a hot bath too.


im not christian but my gf is, and i would like to know. in the christian religion does the no sex before marriage include oral sex? (link)
no oral sex. sexual activity before marraige. All u can do is makeout.

Your hot man! You are gonna grow up and be sooooooooo handsome. If you want to gain weight don't go over like 20 pounds because naturally you gain weight when you get older. I love your hair when its longish. Not too long though, just like you missed an annual hair trimming or something like that. Do whatever you want you look great


ok i wasnt sure which category to put this in so i just put it in health. I am 14 and I'm barely an A cup, my mom is a C and I dont know, maybe I'm just a "late bloomer" but I wanted to know if theres a way to make my boobs grow bigger, like my friends say to drink a lot of milk or eat carrots, i dont know, if anyone can help that would be great! (link)
either you gain a ton of weight and only loose it everywhere else but your chest, buy some phony pills untill you find one that might work(those are dangerous couse they trick your body to produce more fat, which can give you multiple bad side effects) or you can get plastic surgury which costs a ton (and you'll be frowned upon because your only 14 and getting breast implants.) I have a question, do any of those sound good? nope. If you really believe your gonna stay flat chested forever when your 14, get your mind straight girl! Your just late. Some girls your age don't even have their periods. Even if they did they're still going to grow. You don't stop growing untill your like 20. By then you have a better idea of how you're gonna look for the rest of your life unless something else happens to you. You might grow, you might not. Ask your mom when her breasts stopped growing. Use this to get an idea of when you can worry. to make what you have look bigger, wear v necks and push up underwire bras with padding. you can find them anywhere bras are sold


uugh everytime i shave my bikini line i get really bad bumps. i used a new venus razor and shave gel, but they still show up. THEY DO NOT GO AWAYY. lol. what can make them go away? thanks (link)
i would shave with a sharp rasor but in the direction the hair grows. u could wax too. i hear nair has something like that


My throat has been hurting for a very lond time and I was just wondering if there was any special way to get rid of the pain.(other than medicine) (link)
maybe gargling mouthwash. i heard drinking warm/hot drinks like tea and coffe might help too


im 15 almost 16 and i am still in a AA-cup bra.

mom is a A-cup, but my sister is a C-cup.

This is completely destroying my life! I have not had a boyfriend cuz' my breasts are tiny now I am old and nobody will want me.

what about breast enlargement?

are there any other wayz i can get someone to love me?

is surgery for enlarging my breasts my best way to get my life back?

i want to have a boyfriend before i get old! am i already too old? none of the boys will want me soon. i am almost 16!

Please HELP ME! (link)
okay first, 16 isn't too old to get a boyfriend.Its old enough to get one but not to old. You have a long way to go. Next, your boobs has nothing to do with if you get a boyfriend or not. Its a superficial way of looking at things. After you get surgury (which I don't advise) you still might not get guys, you may get guys to notice you, but the wrong kind of attention. A guy won't look at your face anymore. Once they get what they want from you they leave and you won't get, or want to get them back. Get someone to love you by talking to them with confindence but not smuthuring them with love and crap. dont be someone your not. dont take any pills or cream because its all a load of crap


hey gurlie so how do you get ur advice column to have colors and poop ans stuff that makes it look cool
mkay so bye!!!
xo-ChickieNikki- (thats a new one lol) (link)
I have to say I'm not good with this kinda stuff but I'm try to help you.In column settings, it has some colors and some long numbers and stuff in boxes. The long numbers basically is the color. You chose which colors you want and put them where you want. You can upload pictures with the profile settings page. You can customize and make your own colors and layouts and designes but I've never tried that, but I think they will walk you through it. There are some pre made ones and some help pages in the colum settings too, but I'm not as good with that.


Is god real im confused (link)
God is real who do you think created everything? There has to be a supreme being that made the world and everything in it, which we call God. Now, religions vary, so His name varies from religion to religion. Basically whichever religion ends up with the right name of God and follows His word, gets to heaven. In my case God is Jesus Christ and I follow his word so I get to heaven, because I feel strongly I'm correct and that means I get to heaven!


I slowdanced with one of my close friends, and I can't remember the song for the life of me! It's been played at alot of other dances so I know it's not that recent. I really don't remember the words, but near they end whoever's singing says loooooooooove (like, really dragged out) and it sounds like a group singing..

Sorry if I'm not that descriptive, but I really loved that song and nobody knows what it was and I really want to know!!!

5's to anybody who reasonably TRIES to help (link)
it mighthave been Keisha Cole with "love" you can listen to it on launch.com


In the Bible doesn't it say that we shouldn't pray aloud to show off? That instead we should pray in the privacy of our own room? (not the exact words) If that is so then why do people go to church? I'm christain but I don't believe that going to church makes a difference in how we are seen in God's eyes. Everyone pressures me to go to church saying that it will "lead me in the right direction" but I don't think it matters if I go to church or not.


Does it matter?
(link)
no it doesnt matter. as long as you pray and believe Jesus is your Lord and Savior and are born again it doesnt matter whether u go to church or not.


well my boyfriend is shy but not like talking shy or being around me shy. i have been going out with him for about 3 weeks and he hasn't hugged me or held my hand or anything. no physical contact what-so-ever. i am wondering ..is that bad? and what does it mean?? and if i should like make a move by holding his hand or kissing him or hugging him. i don't want him to get hte wrong impression or anything. i just am not sure. i really need help because he is really shy physically and i want to know if we should hug or something. sure he always hangs around me and always talks to me. he said he has liked me since late-March. which is a good thing but i just don't see why he won't hug me or anything.i don't wnat him to be a sex hungry person though i don't want him to go crazy becuase i don't want to have sex untill i am married.
thanks i would really appreciate it
i rate high for honest answers :D !!!!! (link)
First off, I'm glad your gonna be a virgin until marraige. So am I!
Ok so I think your boyfriend is just scared. He definetly likes you, maybe a lot more think, because it might be he respects you too much to touch you. I would suggest not being so stiff around him. If you act more spontaneous and flirty he won't be intimidated at all. Like if your surprised to see him, be like OMG! Then reach out and hug him. Don't jump on him or anything though he might be freaked out. Be casually cool.He might be surprised but most likely he won't say anything and he'll get used to it, and he will hug you. Let him be the first to kiss you though. After a while of this openess he won't be shy around you and he should kiss you. If you act natural he might go with the flow too. You may even want to start with around the neck one armed hugs, just as a causual everyday thing. You see him in the morning and you can be like "Hey! Just hug him around the neck with one arm. It's less overwhelming and he'll like it. If this doesn't work you have to talk to him about how you feel. Be like, "Well it's been a while now and this relationship seems to friend like." most likely he will ask "What do you mean?" You can be like "Well we haven't even held hands, hugged, or even kissed yet. Its like you've never touched me and were dating!" "Are you shy around me or something, because you don't have to be. I really like you." He'll get it. good luck!


ok. so.
well. this is sort of embarssing.
but is there any way to like slow down the amount of discharge in my underwear?
its kind of gross and embarrsing. some times it feels like i peed my pants of something. i dont know if something is wrong with me or what.

soo pleeease help!

(link)
You can't make less discharge come out, so I would suggest pantiliners. They make you feel drier


(17/F) Okay, I had arcryllic nails put on for prom and I just took them off because they were starting to come loose. Anyone who's ever had nails put on knows how crappy your real nails look after the fake ones come off.. My question is.. Is there any way to make my nails look less damaged? Is it safe to file away the jagged edges on the surface of my nails? They look sort of raggedy. I don't know how else to describe it. Any advice that you have to offer will be greatly appriciated. I rate 5's for good advice. (link)
I have a buffing block and cuticle oil for this. you can buy one at the mall, or even the cosmetic isle at a grocery store. i took of my acrylicss last weeked and even tho my nails were horrible, i cut them and buffed them and rubbed cuticle oil into it. if u dont have these now, scrape the surface of your nails with a file until its smooth and use any kind of oil or lotion or pretroleum on your nails. I used nail hardener on afterwards so my nails wouldnt break. Clip your nails weekly and after a wile they should be healthy again. Painting your nails a dark color would hide it but it woulnt make that scruffy flaky part of your nail any healthier, but nails are keratin, so its all dead anyways. I doubt painting them would effect your incoming nail growth at all.
