If your swimming with a tampon in wont the string hang out or come out of your bathing suit?
Unless your bathing suit is very lose, and even if it is, it probably won't. Just make sure you tuck it in either between your butt cheeks or your vaginal lips. Lol, gross but helpful.

The world won't end for another few hundred thousand years. Don't worry about it.

I'm a twenty-two year old female. I'm pregnant with twins right now. Well I've had strept throat the past couple of days and I haven't been able to eat. My husband was just shot in Iraq so he's been home and for the past couple of weeks he's been laying with his head on my stomach every chance he gets, and he knows exactly how much my girls kick and move. Last night he got me really worked up because he said that they weren't kicking and moving as much as normal. Is this because I haven't been able to eat really? I'm afraid to go to the hospital again because they always tell me I'm way too paranoid. Thank you very much.
Strep throat is pretty serious, whether you are pregnant or not. Call your doctor. NOW.
Whenever I get strep throat, I am rushed to the doctor (i.e I make an appointment either that day or the next), they take a culture to make sure, and then get prescribed antibiotics. Strep throat can be dangerous as it may lead to rheumatic fever (which can cause permanent damage to the heart), scarlet fever, blood infections, or kidney disease.

i can be really wet yet my nipples arent hard! can someone please tell me why and if this is normal. and how to get them hard?? thanks! :)
All women are different. Your nipples are probably not an erogenous zone, which you can't help.
However, it could be that you simply have flat or inverted nipples. When you get cold, do your nipples become erect? If not, then you probably have flat nipples, which is common in teenagers and nothing to worry about.

Is there a way to avoid throwing up after running really hard?
That is my question and the story behind it is this:
I do track at school, and I run the 1000 which is 5 laps on the indoor track. However, after a minute or so after I run it for like 10-15 minutes I have to be in the bathroom cause I keep gagging. I've never actually puked, although have been pretty close to it. I don't know if this affects it, but the air in the track is EXTREMEMLY dry, which causes me to cough [which partially caused the gagging].
If the air is less dry, would that make it better or worse?
Ask your coach if you can run with a water bottle. Take small sips once in a while, not too much or it will make you sick.
Also, if the water is ice cold, that can cause some stomach problems, so be sure that the water is cool, but not freezing cold.
Make sure you are hydrated throughout the day, and that you eat well.
When you run, try to breath evenly, which doesn't mean slow steady breaths, it just means don't take a huge breath and several little gasps. Basically have a certain "rhythm" to your breathing.
I think if the air was less dry it will make it better, however that is my opinion based on logical reasoning and there is no science behind it.

I have pretty big boobs. i have Ds and they are growing. im not really heavy im pretty average. so this is pretty noticable.. but my left boob is more like a C or almsot a D but with my right one a D almsot a DD.. you can really tell the differnce. I want to know if GUYS think that different sized boobs are gross or if it turns them off or if its not that big of a deal or what... so good or bad i just want your opinion. thank you
First of all, that is completely normal. Most guys will understand that this is completely normal, and unless he is cookoo, he won't be grossed out. He might be like "Oh, her breasts are different sizes," but he'll either forget about it as soon as he notices, or remember that one of his testicles is bigger than the other.
Human bodies are not symmetrical on the inside or on the outside. Most people's feet are different sizes, one eye can be bigger than the other, the nose might be crooked.
But with all honesty, I very much doubt he will notice. If he is with you for the right reasons, he will be paying more attention to YOU, not your breasts.

ive had sex about 9 times and theyve all been pretty hardcore. isnt your cherry suppose to pop your first time and isnt it suppose to hurt extremely badly? this hasnt happened to me. is this abnormal?
Its only a rumor that its ALWAYS supposed to hurt. Some girls don't feel anything. Some girls don't even bleed. Some girls were born without one, and others already had their hymen torn through other (nonsexual) activities. Your hymen is probably broken.

slim jim food, is it safe for chihuahua to eat it? which food is good for my chihuahua to eat without gettin sick?
No, as others have said, Slim Jims aren't recommended for dogs at all, in fact, I wouldn't give it to my dog even as a treat.
Feed your dog dog food. I highly recommend Science Diet. Don't get canned food because that tends to be higher in fat contents, and it tastes better I guess because dogs tend to gorge themselves on that stuff and become overweight. Most owners have trouble refusing their dogs food.
For treats, you can select from a wide variety from pet (food) stores. When you give a treat to you dog, don't give it "just because," make him work for it. For example, reward good behavior. This prevents the dog from getting spoiled. Also, treats shouldn't make up the dog's diet, its like eating candy for them, and the will get sick if they eat too much.
If your dog has any sort of digestive problems (or begins to develop any), or gains/loses weight, I would take him to the vet asap, so you can work out a new diet.

Do not answer if you don't know.
Can ducks eat peanut butter and be fine? Is it bad or good for them? I have a billion peanut butter crackers and I want to feed them to the ducks.
NO, ducks are waterbirds and they will get very ill if fed peanut butter, or any other food with high fat content. Instead, you can feed them peas, corn, meal worms, and greens.
I would say just to make some kind of desert with the crackers, like a cheesecake. Don't give them to animals, they're not made to eat this type of human-developed stuff.
Oh, and by the way, I have volunteered for 350+ hours at a wild bird hospital.

Im going there this summer for this program organized by the government called "people to people" where kids up till the end of high school can travel the world and get an extra credit for college for doing so. i got reffered this year for the first time.. so yeah. first of all im crazily excited.. i cant freaking believe my dream has come true.. i mean i kinda always thought it would happen.. like i wanted to go to japan while i was still a kid.. and i just turned 14.. its like perfect timing. i could go more into detail on that but on with my questions. like first of all are kimonos really expensive? I wanna buy 1 or 2. and does octopus and raw meat taste good? i mean i like sushi but i eat the cooked/barbecued meat kind or the ones with no meat in them. like once i had barbecued eel in sushi by accident but it was good, aha. other than that.. yea with the people to people thing you go in this big group and theres also homestays where you visit peoples houses and see how they live and stuff for a bit. we're staying there for like 2 weeks in july-ish. are there any cool festivals during july, btw? and like what should i expect about japan (course im gonna spend all ma money, haha. and is money more expensive there? or like can i get a good ipod there for cheap? well cheaper than america's prices.) and like etc.. and i cant speak japanese btw. thanks for helping! :)
Yen is worth less than a dollar. BUT, that doesn't mean that things are cheaper there. For example, when I went to Ukraine, one American dollar equals 4 hryvnia. So a shirt that would sell for twenty dollars in the USA sells for 80 hryvnia in Ukraine, maybe a little less. But it might be different in Japan, I've never been there.
Kimonos: the price range really depends on the quality of the material, where you got it from, and whether it was hand made or not.
I have eaten octopus before (baby ones in Hawaii in some sort of red sauce). They were pretty flavorless, to be quite honest. Rubbery, maybe slightly a trace of squid or calamari in them. I believe that they usually serve octopus in some sort of sauce or soup.
Raw meat and fish. I love it. The texture is definitely different, but its not bad. Despite what some people say, it doesn't taste like blood. At all. No worries.
I don't really think that you can ask if something tastes good, because if someone says it does taste good, and then you eat it, it won't mean that you will think it tastes good. So just a warning. Your opinion might differ from mine. If you don't like something you eat there, be respectful. Swallow it, but don't make a disgusted face. If people question why you didn't finish, tell them you aren't hungry.

I have no idea what the hell you said.
how do I know if I popped my
cherry or not?
like how can I check???
First of all, there is no cherry and it does not "pop." What is referred to as a cherry, is in fact a hymen, an elastic piece of skin covering the entrance to the vagina. Most likely, your's is torn, most girls' are.
The only way to check is to look. If you don't see erm... a hole.. then your hymen is still in tact. Here is a website of illustrations of different type of hymens.

ok first of all im a tomboy so i belive that its not about looking all cute i think you should be confertable and happy and yourself when it comes to dressing i dont tease other girls or anything that would be mean but i just wanted to know why teenage girls get all dressed up every single day and all they care about is clothing and make up i dont think its really that inportant i dont want to ask them because they might get offended im just really courious why they waste all there time worrying about the way they look i just really want to know why thank you in advance sorry i im wasting your time
Well, obviously, appearance is very important to these girls. Some of them won't allow themselves to be seen in public without make up on, for example. In my opinion, its because they have low self confidence, and they spend tons of time on their appearance so that they will be more confident. These things just serve as a big confidence boost. So for these girls, looking cute, as you put it, is what makes them comfortable and happy. How do I know? I'm one of those girls. I know that if I'm going somewhere that is nerve wracking (first day of school, for example) I better look good, which means dressing in clothes that are "in," straightening my hair, etc. For example, if I had to do a presentation or a speech at school, I would most definitely spend an extra five or ten minutes in front of the mirror. The girls that have lower self confidence than I do, feel like they need to spend this time on themselves everyday.

My female chihuahua is around 5 months old now, Lucy, she is gorgeous by the way. Well, I was wondering when small dogs like her usually go into heat. I have two other male chihuahuas and I don't want any accidents. I plan to pay for a stud since my males are bigger than her.
Thanks, I'd like to know soon please.
ABL
Chihuahuas become sexually mature at around six months.
Before you decide to breed her, check out this article. I am not a big fan of breeding. I work at a veterinary hospital, and we see tons of puppies with genetic and temperament problems, some of which we end up putting to sleep. Also, please take into consideration that there are more than enough dogs (and cats) in the world, including Chihuahuas.

I have trouble concentrating.
It takes me forever to do homework because I always get distracted and start doing something else.
It wasn't always like this, it started pretty recently. Within the last year. But I've always been a procrastinator.
Ridding the area of distractions doesn't work, I WILL find something to distract me.
Any tips on how to concentrate better?
I got this idea from Jack (CuxMiBeckNow7): try to do your homework at the last minute. This way, you'll HAVE to do it, or get a 0/F on the assignment. But you'll also get the things you actually wanted to do done. After many nights of staying up past two, you'll learn to plan out your time better, (I'm pretty sure you'll start doing your homework at around your bedtime at first, at least that's what I did).
Also, try to do as much as possible while your at school. This way, you'll want to finish it as fast as you can when you get home, so you can go on to other activities.

What's your advice on a relationship that has many many bad moments. The good moments are limited but when it's good, it's amazing. I'm not sure if it's worth staying in this relationship for the few amazing moments.
In my opinion, if BOTH of you are truly in love with each other (and it IS possible for two people who are in love to fight constantly), then you should stay in the relationship. However, if you are unhappy, I would end the relationship.
Often, two people get impatient with each other when they see each other constantly. Perhaps try to limit the time you guys spend together.

I am doing a play in May and I want to get a new haircut in time for the show.
This is the cut that I want to get:

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g164/risingloafer/100_1758.jpg
I have two questions about the haircut.
A) Is it possible for my hair to grow out to the appropriate length in four months?
B) If I got the haircut, would I have to blow-dry and use a curling iron to get it to poof up, or does the layered hair naturally fall that way? In other words, how much time would I have to spend on my hair?
A) Yes, unless your hair is super slow growing. An average person's would.
B) I think you will have to blow dry your hair upside down, after putting mouse in your hair, then finishing off with a light tease and some hairspray. So not horrible. Your hair seems like it wouldn't want to poof up like her hair though, so you might have to use some poof-encouraging products.

what is comething i can give my girlfriend for valentines day that isnt flowers? she doesnt like flowers. lol. i wanted to send them to her apartment at school so i was thinking maybe a teddy bear & candy or something? any ideas?
Balloons, perfume, a month's supply of her favorite candy, a necklace with your name on it (but then you'll want to get the same necklace for yourself with her name on it), a special date (i.e. a nice dinner, movies, or just a fun/romantic activity).
