Q: I recently started liking someone, and they want a relationship out of our friendship. This would be my first boyfriend probably, and i don't know what to do. I'm not scared, im just really shy and just nervous about it. He has autism, but it sort of/sort of doesn't affect much. I wanna just be friends for a while. But i don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Cause this is like a first time thing for me.

thanks :]
JUST TAKE IT SLOW!!

instead of dating, start off being bestest friend.

let the relationship grow on its own

only make an official relationship when ur ready

Q: I have stopped using conventional, drugstore tampons, since I heard that they have harmful chemicals, like rayon, and use bleaching...I wouldn't want to have contact with either.
I now use natural, 100% organic cotton tampons, which are fine, except for the fact that all of them have a cardboard applicator. I understand that natural means natural, so no plastics...but is their a natural tampon with a more comfortable design? I don't mind using cardboard tampons, but I noticed that it's hard to grip the natural tampons during application.
If any of you know of the most comfortable organic cotton tampon, please let me know.

how bout. these?
no applicator ... would that make ur life easier or harder?

Q: how do you schedule a college interview? or if the college is far away?
You call the college or go on their website for information

Q: Ok I'm super confused so maybe someone can explain this to me! Let's say a boy is 17 and in your state the law is a 17+ person can't date a minor then can he have a 15 year old girlfriend? Because I was reading that there are laws that when your like 17 and up you can't date minors but what about teens around the same age with only a couple years difference? Thanks so much and I will rate everyone who helps me! :D
Yes, that law would mean a 17 year old couldent date anybody younger then 17. But, ther are usualy loopholes and stuff. You should check out this law.

Q: When guys ask me if they are good kissers I have no idea what to tell them! Usually I tell them yes and everything because I don't know what else to say... but how can you really tell if someone is a good kisser or a bad kisser? Thanks!!
If you werent disgusted by kissing them, they were probably a good kisser.

Next time, just tel them to find out for themselves and hand them a cherry. If you can tie a cherry stem in a knot (while its not attached to the cherry) it means your a good kisser. This also counts for redvines but for that you need to keep the edges outside your mouth most of the time

Q: Hey, i know this is like so many other questions but i really want an answer. ok so there is this boy who is really hot and seems really nice and cool. i know hes smart too. he rides my friends bus and her bus is in front of mine so i always go over and talk to her. well hes pretty good friends with her and will talk to me when we're talking and so like all 3 of us talk togther. He flirts with me and told my friend he likes me and thinks im hot and stuff too. I like him and he likes me the problem is we dont really know each other. thats the only time i see him in the day and its like for 5 min. max a know a bit about him but not really. if you know what i mean. i would really like to get to know him more. hes on another school on campus because hes not in my grade so i cant see him before class or anything either. what should i do??? my friend says i should come to her house because they're neighbors but what else? i dont know if he would want to go to the movies or sumthing w/me and my friend because he doesnt know anyone else in our group. i dont care if i hang with his friends but what should i do so i can hang out with him more!!! and how should i get him to hang with me like should i invite him or ask him to the movies with me? when u give me answers please tell me HOW to ask him or get him to ask me or whatever. im really attracted to him and def. what to see him more and get to know him better. i asked for his AIM but he already told me he's NEVER on and he isnt. Thanks you so much and i will rate EVERYONEs helpful posts!!! :D
Usually the guy makes the first move.
If hes not in your grade hes probably older right? If he dosent seem shy, hell make the first move when hes ready.
You should definately go over your friends house.
Maybe, you could sleepover one day so you could ride her bus with her. Then you could sit next to eachother and talk some more.
Just causally bring movies into conversations. Like "you know which movie looks so great? Feel the noise. Oh im dying to see that."
Or you could mention the weekend. Tell your friend "what r u doing this weekend? I have nothing to do. Im going to be bored out of my mind!"
you could get his cell number somehow (either ask him for it or ask his friend for it) and then you could get to know him over the phone. Also, get his AIM and facebook/myspace if he has. Just have casual conversaition and get to know him. If there is somthing there, it will work out.

Q: Sorry. might sound stupid.
15/f,

okay. im a soph in highschool and i have known this girl since 3rd grade from day 1 i have absoulty hated her. last year during freshman year she thought that i was her friend. the few reasons why i absoulty hate her is because she basically brags about herself (because shes rich) and basically is stuck up. shes not pretty at all and not a lot of people like her. my friend karlee hated her too. so we would always say how much we hate her and stuff. ive been in her class in 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th grade. this is teh year shes finally not in any of my classes. so i think okay good now i can just like not talk to her anymore and mind my own business. She comes up to me last friday with my friend karlee right next to her saying, Sarah what is wroung wtih you blah blah blah we use to be best friends last year and now you dont even talk to me (in my head im thinking yeah okay best friends?) and shes like reamber that time in marketbasket when i waved to you and i was like yeah and i waved back.. and she was like well my friend said that you rolled your eyes. im shy to tell someone how i feel so in my head i was like it could have been to my mom or even i could be haveing a bad day you cant just blaim stupid things like that her friend could of been lieing. and honestly i didnt roll my eyes. well anyways, she was saying that i talk shit about her (which i dont) and all this other stuff and that i always give her dirty looks and i never give people dirty looks as much as hate them. and now my friend karlee is friends with her. so all i just said was it wouldnt happen again and i went off and i was so fustrated and stuff. so it was a big mistake and i told this girl but she ended up telling basically everyone. big mistake. well anyways this girl came up to me at lunch shes friends with this girl that was spazzing on me and she was like did you tell kerrie ( the gril who told everyone ) if that girl yelled at you and i was like yeah kinda.. and it was a mistake and after like shes all bugging me if im mad at her and everything. so i told my friend vickey who is a really nice friend. she texted karlee and said " listen karlee i dont think your being a good friend to sarah because the time when she needs you the most your hanging out with that girl you should tell her to stop and if you dont i will" so after that she told off that girl i froget what but shes at one of my lunches and i jsut go to the libary then. and i dont know if i can do anything im like confused if she didnt say anyhting i think that things would have been fine. karlee gives me dirty looks in the halls she sits with that girl at lunch when im there and thats when i go to the libary she doesnt sit with me at my other lunch she sits with some other girl. so she only talks to me in one class that she has no one else to talk to. i dont know what to do. is seh not being a good friend i dont really like this girl who yelled at me so i could care less if were friends or not but ever since she ssiad something it has causes so much stuff. i know this is really stupid but. can i do anything?
thanks for reading. sorry for wasteing your time.
Your friends going to have to realize her mistake on her own.


Going to the library for lunch means they win

You need to stay with your true friends, and just let the other ones go.

I know its hard, but these things work out in the end

Q: i need to piss someone off and say fvck you.

what should i do?
Write it down and send them a letter

Or just walk up to them and say it

You could dial a random number and pretend your leaving a voicemail for the person your mad at. Block your number though.

Q: I need to do a National History Day project for school. We can pick any topic, as long as it didn't happen in the United States. The theme this year is 'conflict and compromise'.

I really like ancient Greece and Rome, maybe something with that? I'm not sure of specific battles/conflicts from those periods, so that's why I'm here. Any ideas would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance :)
How about the compromise between worshiping many Gods and making christianity the main religion? That had a lot of struggle

Q: So I'm going to a party and I need a halloween costume. I'd prefer something more slutty than scary and I can't afford to buy a costume. What are some ideas? Celebrities, costumes I can make out of clothes...anything...

If it makes a difference...almost black hair, dark brown eyes, very pale, 5'9 (so heels aren't the best idea), medium weight.
Why not big bird?
Yellow miniskirt, yellow fishnets, and a fellow feather boa?

Or a bunny? All you need is ears.

You can wear any shorts or a mini skirt and just get a hat.

A sailor hat.
A firewoman hat.
A paris hilton wig.
Fake tatoo sleeves.
Like, just get a little accesory.
How about a princess?
Wear your sexiest outfit and match it with an accesory.
You could be a rockstar.
you could go with a bunch of friends and be the spice girls.
W.ě u want but be comftorbl in it

Q: okay lately i learned from a friend that a really close teacher/friend of mine was a lesbian. She hadn't wanted students to know but she confided in teachers and told them not to tell ANYONE! But my friends mom, who works at the school and is a teacher, told her daughters all about it and how she went to her gfs home town to get married to her. Then my friend blabbed it too me. Now im furious and i hate my friends mother for being so unprofesional since i know how that could ruin someones career. But the mother also happens to be my scout leader and i have to see her tommorow. how should i handle this?

* by the way don't bother telling me that my friend had the right to know: its none of their buisness and the teacher has worked there for 18 years.
You need to seperate the two situations. This person is both ur scout leader and the person who wrecked your teachers career. Are you so upset that it will effect your scoutness? Or, can you seperate the situations so that one dosent affect the other. It depends how upset you are. Do you feel like if she blabbed this, shell tell stuff you tell her? If so, dont tell her things. See how upset you are, and how far your willing to take it. Nobody can decide that for you. If you never want to talk to her again, fine. If you want to yell at her, fine.

Also, you might want to to think about the fact that being lesbian is nothing to be ashamed of. I understand this teacher wanted it private, but if she thought she was doing somthing wrong, she wouldnt have dont it.

Your moms friend broke the trust by telling your friend. But what about your friend? She also disrespected the teacher. You might want to talk to her also

Q: My boyfriend and I dread to discuss going off to college being that I'm not really sure where I want to go but I do want to attend school some where near him. I want to know is it really possible to continue a relationship after high school, like really? I've heard stories like, "you can't do it", "it'll never work" but I really want it to work with my boyfriend and I because i love him. If you love someone can't you make things work? Please help me because I really need help right now. Thank you in advance!
Of course you can make it work. But you cant do it by yourself. Thats Ÿ u need to talk to him. If he really wants to, and you really want to, then you can definately work it out

Q: when you're making out,
are your lips in between eachother
or on top of the other persons lips?

Both...either....w.ě feels right

Q: title says it all
Some do some dont.

Depends on the girl

WHAT SHOULD I DO ? DOES HE LIKE ME OR IS HE JUST MESSING WITH ME? PLZ HELP

Forget both of them. 2 much of a mess

Q: I really like this kid. I havent really talked to him a lot. We have 2 classes together, which are gonna change on Monday. So, I dont know if we will have any other classes together.

But yeah,

In PE, we were playing volleyball. When we had to get into the lines, I wanted to stand next to him, on the front row. But, his friend got in between us, so i just went to the back line. Then i looked at him and he looked at me and told his friend he wanted to go on the back line. ( next to me ) Which made me feel grrreeat.

At lunch I can see him sometimes looking over at me. And same goes as with my other class.

But, is that like a sign of him liking me?
All my friends say it is. and that he does like me. and I should go talk to him and whatnot.
I think if i KNEW that he liked me, i could so totaly go over and talk to him.



And, Im also friends with his friend in PE. I talk to him all the time. And the other day i stupidly told him i liked his friend. So he said he was gonna go tell him. and I started to freak out. Cause i dont want him to think im a freak or anything. And i was almost sure that he did tell him, and today the guy i like didnt really look at me or anything. But then when i got to talk to his friend, he said he hasnt told him yet. Which made me a little happier. And that eh would tell him tomorrow.

SO...
In PE was that a sign? and do you think that his friend should tell him? I dont want him to think that just some random girl likes him. :/
Huney, he deeeefinately likes u!!! Goo talk 2 him!!!

Q: hey i have a little black dress similar to this
http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/edressme_1966_21926110
same length and everything except that mine is low U-shaped in the front. i was wondering what costume i could use it as for halloween. i have these knee highs similar to this
http://www.thisnext.com/media/80x80/35C142C3.jpg
but only it's red,grey, & black.
& i also have this fairy halo that looks like this
http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/12947.jpg
only the crown part is white & fuzzy & the ribbons are white silver & blue.


what can i do to put them together? what should i add on to the dress to make it less plain? and what make-up should i use?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
You could wear a black hat, and black fishnets and be a witch. Original, no. But it is safe. You could get little plastic spiders and stick their legs in between the fabric so they stay.

You could be a princess of the night and wear a crown and tons of neclaces, a belt and maybe a leather jacket.

Speaking of leather jackets, you could be a biker chic.

Speaking of chic, you could be a celebrity. Get a plastic cup and fill it with somthing and smear your makeup so you look like you wer all put together until you flipped out. (Ahem, like certain celebritys)

you could be the legendary girl who disapeared into the forest and but baby powder in your hair to make it white.

You could wear orange sparkly wings and be the halloween fairy.

Have fun with it! Mess around with your closet.

Trick or treat!! Happy halloween!!

Q: I've got loads of assignments, 6 weeks in College and need to get them done for Christmas. My lecturers are telling us to do them NOW! Like an hour a day atleast. However, when I get up to do work I find distractions like consoles, music, guitars.... Help me please!
I know you get distracted.
Use a reward system. If you get x amount of work done, you can go out on the weekends. If not, you stay home.

Or, do it in large doses. Tell yourself, this weekend im gonna finish 1 project. And finish it. That is 1/5 of your work done.

On a callender, write how much you need to do. If you can, make the work more frequent, with a smaller amount of work. I do that with math projects. I do amath problem a day. But i always do it. You have to beconsistant.

Be proud of yourself for completing anything at all. Projects r tough. Goodluck!

Q: 16/f (sophomore)

NOTE:: if you dont feel like reading me vent for a paragraph skip down to the question

mk so this past month in school ive been trying to make new friends, but it hasnt worked AT ALL. i want to have friends that will laugh at my jokes at the right times, also friends that arent too clingy..or friends that will talk to me when things are serious. i know in my heart that im not shy, im actually majorly outgoing with EVERYBODY. for example, on my school sports team everytime i try to talk to someone i feel like im being snubbed..and i feel so worn down because of it and it makes me feel as if its my fault for being too sensitive. they are all nice people too. thought it would be EASIER to make friends when i got on a sports team but apparently not! :((

right now i feel stuck and i feel like crying/pulling my hair out in frustration because i really wanted to make fun friends this year but it's mid october and i have no idea why ive made not one good friend!!! =[[[ sighh i feel like crying. honestly. ive been in this school district for 8 years and even though i am crazy outgoing and i join lots of clubs and im smart and i have interests and im on sports teams i have not made more than 10 good friends. like what the fuckkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ME???

sorry that was super long haha. its just my way of venting! anyway my real question is..if someone i want to be friends with makes me feel kinda intimidated should i stop trying or keep trying to talk to them even though im afraid of talking too much?

thanks.
Excuse me if this sounds mean.
You said youve made 10 good friends. Thats not good enough? I kno, you want big groups of friends but i think your going to lose the friends that you have now by nelglecting them.

You might want to build up the relationships that you already have. Make them your perfect friends. Just enjoy your life and appreciate what youve got. The rest will come. Dont attack people, dont be pushy but be friendly. Say hi to people in the hallways. Remember peoples names. Introduce yourself. If your partnered with sum1 for a project, dont overload them but be nice, and they will like you. They wont be your best friend, but theyl like you. You can get what ypou want and it dosent have to take a long time but it has 2be gradual . Just love and appreciate your life, and the rest will come.

Q: I am looking for advice on a rape victim, keep the kid or not?

16 YEAR OLD GIRL.

Really, it's not the child's fault, they didn't ask to be killed because they were concieved wrong right?
But then again, having the kid will be a daily reminder, and ruin her future.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
ANY ADVICE?



Thank you for the time!
It all depends. Personally, i think i might have the child. But i dont know.
Would you take care of it, or would you put it up for adoption?
Would he/she get the love they deserve?
What about school?
Are you ready to go through pregnancy and labor and recovery?
What do your parents think?
You need to do thats right for you
