Simple. All you need to do is just forget the whole ordeal happened. It doesn't seem like he minds at all, so why bother with it? Just act as you did before, and try to completely phase out the issue.
The more you adress the issue, the worse it will be. Ignorance is bliss.

x^2=-1. That is if you haven't learned about i yet. If you haven't, then the absolute value of x equals -1. That's always no solution.

If this is happening for no reason, then personally I think it is a disorder. I believe that you have a depression disorder, which is either Manic Depressive or Major depressive. Find a psychologist near you and he'll help you find out what you have, and HELP you.

AIDs started by a man accidentally cutting himself and blood mingling with an ape. The ape had AIDs. Then, he was homosexual, and it began to spread through homesexuals. Eventually, it got to someone who was bi, and you know the rest of the story.
It comes from someone else really. Other animals have it, or it mutates, and it spreads somehow.
And yes. There is a chance if one of the 2 virgins has used a siringe in their life, as that can also spread aids by use of dirty needles. Or other person-person contact, like surgical procedures that weren't screened...

The best way to flirt is to suggestive in your speech. If you talk about suggestive topics, or sound it, that's flirting. Even a little poke here and there is flirting.
And a guy's view on a girl's beauty vary from person to person. Some men like large breasts, others like small ones. Some like large butts, others like small ones. Though most men think that thin girls look better than heavy set ones. Usually, guys like smaller noses, blue eyes, and dimples. Some (Like me) also consider hair length. It's too much of a variety. If you are an extreme on any end, most likely, some guy will find you hot.

Do not tell your friend, as it can potentially hurt your friendship. Sometimes, the truth hurts. I know from some responces to advice I've given. :). Seriously though, don't let him know, for what he doesn't know cannot hurt him.
And no, it's no neccassary. In fact, I find it all a bunch of falsities. Go into the bible, and give me the passage that says pre-marital sex is a sin. Heck, Abraham had it with Hagar, and he never married her. He already was married at the time. He's obviously in heaven. I'm not trying to change your beliefs on pre-marital here, just using it for an example.
So, if pre-marital is on a shaky groung, the french kissing as a sin is definately balogna. It's a bunch of overly-concerned catholics interpreting something to the point where it no longer has any meaning.

Well, according to my column, it's 6. ;P. But, it is no set number, as the snowflakes are all different. Some are 500 sided, others are 4 sided. It just depends on how it was made.

A friend with benefits is a friend who you can get something out from. Like, if you are friends with a rich kid, he may get you more expensive presents for your birthday. Or with a popular kid, you become more popular by being her friend.

Absolutely not. It does not work at all. I know from experiance. :)

Go outside of the house and do something, like go to the movies, out to dinner, visit your grandmother, volunteer at a nursing home, etc. It can be anything and everything. You may event want to invite a few people over for the night to do something together.

1. They have recently learned of sex and the nature, and want to experiment. They also want to rebel, like all teens do, so they do it by rebelling against their parents as such. Also, the hormones are much higher during adolescence, meaning people want sex more. Lastly, teens think that they get into really deep relationships, and want to affirm their love for each other in some meaningful way as an adult would.
2. Testosterone makes them want to.
3. Yes. But, teens don't think of that.

No. Think of parents, they are usually 2-3 years apart. And nothing's wrong with that.
And I cannot answer the second question, as I don't know. I answered this for the first.

It can because it's highly addicting, and the person would want more. And half a pill still does the same damage, just in lesser a dose.

If he goes to the doctor, the may want to cut out a little bit of his gland. I think it's the thyroid... It'll allow for slower metabolism in his body, allowing for him to put on that weight. He may also want to consider eating a second snack each day if he needs to put on the weight. It's for his benefit, so he would do it. I also think there is a pill he can take to slow down his metabolism...

Well, pull out works rarely, as there may be semen at the tip already that can make their way in. You have a 0.000025% chance of getting pregnant (Yes, really.) I wouldn't worry about it.

Normal. 6th grade, you really haven't developed much.

Well, I was in that situation, no doubt. However, I'm not proud of what I did. I lived through 9th grade, and at the end, I started a big lying fest online... It lasted for about a year. I tried being a person who I wasn't, and it changed me to how I was. Then I eventually found www.teenhelp.org, which then suddenly drove me into a deep depression because I'm an empath. Then I got removed from staff there twice, and eventually got banned because I was "Too compicated of a case". That's when I found this site.
My advice is to not use lies to get you out of things, or use them to attempt to change you. It will hurt you in more ways than you immagine. And every lie you tell ironically becomes true.

Girls always want to be something they aren't. The ones with straight hair want curly hair, because the think it looks prettier. Those with curly hair want straight hair, because they feel that they can do more with it than in curls, and it also is more manageable.
Just like those girls who have weight want to lose it, and those without it want to gain it. I don't think any girl has ever been content with her diet. All girls, or at least most, wear makeup, because they want to look different.
It's their hormones that make it happen, nothing else. And hormones are unavoidable and all powerful.
Personally, I prefer just running a comb through the front to ensure that it isn't a mess, but then again, I'm male. :)

Perfection is the virtue of modesty. Modesty is believe you are nobody, and nobody is perfect, so you are perfect. ;)

OK, seriously though, modesty is a major aspect in every persons life. It will make you want to do better in everything you do, instead of being overly proud of somethnig you did. It will make you stop thinking about the A you got in LA and make you want to get it in SS as well.
It also works well with friendship. Most friends don't like people who constantly talk about how awesome they are, unless those friends are like that.
Modesty is a trait that a few have. And those who do have more friends and happiness than those who don't. That's why those with ego usually are also depressed.

I took it that you are thinking of this in a spiritual sense, so I'm going to be a bit spiritual on you here. :)
Peace and eternal paradise. I take that to be heaven. There is one reason why you should not die for that purpose. Well, multiple.
1st, if you are thinking of suicide, you are missing the commandment. Thou shalt not kill. This includes yourself. And you have no time to feel remourse and pray for forgiveness, because you are instantly dead and judged.
2nd, if you die quickly, you miss out the reward. Heaven is not the same for anyone. Bible passages say that people receive rewards for good deeds on earth, and they do not mean it in the sense that you will receive the reward of heaven. They mean that you will receive a heavenly reward that you cannot possibly imagine down here on earth.
And what determines that reward? Through your life, according to Paul, you build up an alter of hay, straw, wood, stone, gold, and precious metals (I think that's it...) You go to the judgement area, and it is tested with fire that will devour the hay, staw, and wood. It's an unforgiving fire. Then, based on what is left, Jesus, the judge, will give you the reward he most wants to give you, but for those that have nothing left, they receive nothing but happiness.
These are the things you did in your life. The hay are the sins, and the precious metals are the good deeds you've done (Like helping teens with problems. :) ). So, if you do reach eternal paradise, you'll have nothing and lose the reward that is potentially yours. Good deeds are greater in quantity over a longer period of time than a smaller quantity congested into a few years.

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.

Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!

Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.

Ask away!
-Steven
