Hi, i would like to know if anyone has ever stayed at the comfort inn hotel (Clifton Hill) located in niagara falls. I would like to know what you would of rated your stay based on the service, room, etc! If you have not stayed at the location I am talking about but have stayed at a Comfort inn at a different location please let me know what you think anyways. Thnx! (link)

BTW, visit The Niagara Falls museum, MovieLand and Tussad's. Ripley's as well as the Fun House are huge rip offs. Maid of The Mist is a must as well. If you're 19+ world renowned acts play Fallsview Casino nightly. Google them for info.


Im fifteen years old and I took a carton of cigerettes from my gaurdian and she didnt notice but I smoked ALL of them in like 3 weeks, but I did give alot away, but not enough to blame my problems on them. I ran out today and Im finding myself wanting more and more, I even took one out of her secret stash and she only has two left.
Im scared, I dont want to smoke, I dont even know why I did it. If you have any advice, please help me. I already know it was wrong, and Im kicking myself now, I just replay it over and thought WHY DID I EVEN TAKE THEM?? Anyways, thank you for reading :) (link)

Hey, if this prevents you from ever smoking again it's worth getting in trouble over. Be honest with her and tell her you stole cartons and packets of cigarettes from her and her hiding place. You're pretty much hooked by Nicotine.

It's brutal to quit and often called worse than Heroin. Ask her for her support to help you quit and to keep you from finding her cigarettes in the future.

I also suspect she knows EXACTLY what you have been doing but doesn't know how to broach the topic. She's not stupid especially if a whole carton suddenly went poof and there's less and less in her stash. Have the strength to admit you were wrong and seek a way to stop smoking.


Every time i talk to the the guy i like I talk to much and get really hyper! How do I stop?? && if theres other crush tipps let me know PLEASE!!

Thank You in Advance (link)

I bet you anything he's dealing with the same level of anxiety here as you are. I recommend you be honest. Tell him when you talk to people you get nervous and tend to prattle on. Nothing wrong with saying that. He'll be relieved and likely admit his own nervousness or get you to relax.

You should think of him as though he were your friend, father, sister, brother etc. It's no different talking to him than anyone. Ask him questions about himself and his interests, movies or anything else really.

Remind yourself not to talk unless asked direct questions. Volunteer nothing and do not talk about yourself. Focus only on what he's got to say. Then try and invite him to join you and your friends at a arty or event or double dating. You can do this.

It's a bold move but if you are honest with him about being nervous because you like him maybe you'll get a date out of this or a boyfriend. After all that's what you want. Go nab it as he's got to be interested to listen to you. Guys don't waste their time with that unless they like a girl back. He's as nervous or chicken if need be as you could be yourself.


what are some ways to give revenge without getting in trouble because rumors are going around school about saying im bi and i wanna bang some kid and i wanna give revenge to the person who did it to me and don't say reveng isn't the thing or two wrongs don't make a right (link)

My best advice is to do NOTHING. That will kill the rumor fast. all they want is your reaction. By getting all mad and trying for revenge you're letting them win. Anger is poisonous and like drinking liquid bleach.

The only person it really harms in this case is you. Let it roll off your back like water on a duck. It will pose no harm to you or your reputation. Anyone can spread a rumor but they can't force people to think it's fact. Those who know you or anyone with a smidgeon of intelligence won't let it bother them.

Revenge only adds fire and credibility to their claims. Once they see you don't give a shit they'll move to another target. They're probably jealous of you or your achievements or popularity with others.

They can call you bisexual, gay or whatever else but it will never make it true. You can't control what others think or believe but you can control your own. As long as you know it's not true and hold on to that and don't react this soon will pass.


How do Christians deal with what they consider inappropriate sexual urges? I am a teenage girl and I have desires that I know are wrong to fulfill until I am married, and because I am Christian and believe the word of God.

For example:

Desires for a person that a Christian is not married to.

Desires for a person who is not Christian.

Desires for a person who is of the same gender.

I understand that I cannot make the sexual urges suddenly go away since they have to do with hormones and maturing, but how can I keep them under control as a Christian? I love God and I do not want to disrespect Him or my body by giving into sexual desires in this inappropriate time.

I want to be the best Christian I can be and I know that means controlling myself when it comes to sexual activity. Are there ways to limit these desires to very infrequent times or are they something I cannot lessen no matter what?

I am also considering speaking to my pastor about this problem but I would like to know if that is appropriate to do in the first place.

Any advice is appreciated! (link)

Contrary to what you may have been told God never abandons anyone. If your relationship with him is rock solid now that's how it will be regardless of when and why you choose to have sex. I know that will rile some people up but it's the truth. Your bond is a personal one and nothing breaks that.

Do your best to live under the principals you believe but realize should you act on urges that it doesn't mean you're headed for eternal damnation. You KNOW how to be responsible and not be reckless already follow what your inner voice and gut tells you about sexual activity.

Having desires to be with someone (presumably single) that you haven't married is NORMAL. It's FINE to date outside your faith. I mean if the right person came along for you would you walk away if they didn't share your religion? That would be wrong.

Dating someone who isn't Christian wont change the fact that you are and that you're following what you believe. In fact it's discrimination otherwise and that's not what your teachings are at all.

Same sex desires are likely curiosity more than anything else at this stage. A lot of teens think about it when figuring out their identity and who they are.

Sexual urges are normal in everyone. As long as you are responsible and deal with them appropriately you're fine. There's nothing at all wrong with masturbation regardless of faith as it's basically universal with teens. 90% of males do and 77% of females of all ages based on statistics. It's better for you to deal with urges that way than you having sex with random people.

Trying to limit such desires are futile as you have no control over your hormones and the messages they send your brain. You can however, choose how to act or decide not to follow them. You're the one in control. You can talk to your pastor but shouldn't need to.

Believe me they hear everything and will find this rather tame compared to other explosive secrets they may keep from other people who approach them. None of this is disrespecting God either.

Another thing I urge you do is talk to your parents about religion and dealing with your hormones. They've been there and I'm sure your mother or an older adult female can reassure you it's okay to respond to these urges responsible or tell yourself not to.

Although embarrassing you might want to ask your pastor or parents about self-pleasure and urges and how not to give in to desires to have sex. They'll help you see whether this makes you any less Christian. In my eyes, you're fine and just have to trust yourself to make sound decisions about what you think is right.


hey
im a college sophomore.. ive never had sex before..hard to beleive i know.. but i want to. i feel like i need to get it over with. i know its supposed to be special but im kinda over that. i wont regret doing it now. im dating someone ive been with for about a month and i want to have sex with him because everytime we're together it sort of is about to happen but im scared. he doesnt know ive a virgin. ive been fingered numerous times..some of which has hurt a little bit after so im wondering if this is how sex will hurt for the first time? or is it going to be worse? and will he be able to know that im a virgin? any tips will really be appreciated. i know its stupid but i feel like he should be a little drunk so that if i do anything dumb/wrong, im not embarassed. thanks!! (link)

Alcohol and sex do not mix. This is how bad things tend to occur. You may think you are physically and mentally ready for sex. Unfortunately, you aren't. If you have doubts, lingering questions or fears it means it's not the time yet.

It's also not a competition either as people have sex for the first time at any age and only when ready. You have only been together for one month. You need to slow things down here and really ask yourself if he's the right person. Better yet ask yourself if he's likely to dump you after he has sex with you.

Does sex hurt? It depends. Some people describe discomfort differently. Most find friction from thrusting and penetration to hurt a bit. However, if you use lubricants it will feel much better for you.

I doubt you being a virgin will matter to him. In fact he might enjoy that fact and teaching you how to do things. Definitely think this through and don't let it just happen. Be sure it's what you want. You may not regret the act of sex but you might regret who it was with later.

You have all the time in the world to experience sex. It's not about your age it's about your maturity and your partner's, having birth control and finances should a pregnancy occur.

There's also no right or wrong way of having sex either. He's not expecting you to know everything. If you decide to do this just relax and go with the flow. Some things will come naturally and based on instinct.


ok so i live in a society where having sex is completely normal. i have had one sexual partner in my life and we were together for 3 years. we broke up a year ago and now i am currently engaged to a man i am head over heals in love with, the only problem is he thinks im a virgin. and if i do not bleed on my wedding night i am doomed for a divorce. we are both muslims and i need some advice on how i can fake my virginity for my wedding night. either by putting fake blood inside of me or any creams or pills that can make me bleed. Please give me advice fast my wedding is in october. (link)

I wouldn't go to such lengths. The hymen is no longer a sign of virginity. It can become stretched through masturbation, sports, and almost universally by tampons. This can be accompanied by a bit of bleeding but sometimes not.

If your husband isn't educated about this you can point him to any book or web site about human sexuality that will back this up. I know that your faith requires people to be pure. You have the choice above to skirt the truth or to tell him the truth.

If for some reason you think violence or harm will come if he finds out don't tell him and find yourself another partner. It doesn't matter what faith you belong to getting a divorce because one hymen has already been stretched is hard to swallow. If that's what would happen don't marry him.

I think honesty is always best if you can be. Mention that you were younger and didn't think about the future and being married then. It's your choice what to tell him about your sexual history.

If if there were creams and fake blood capsules available I wouldn't know where to find them. They wouldn't help you a single bit as the person could tell. Makeup, creams, fake blood aren't like the real fluids. I think you should relax and realize that your hymen can be stretched in a variety of ways and he has to educate himself to that effect. He might not notice either if you say nothing and don't make an issue of this.


24/f. I have been dating this man the last month or so, he is 31. When we have sex it takes a minute for him to get hard and even then it seems to be not completely "erect". I know he is very physically attracted to me so that is not the problem. I was wondering if this was common or if anyone knew some possible reasons why this is happening. Thank you. also, is it bad of me to be less interested in him for this fact? the sex is good but that "problem" is strange and I am not comfortable asking him about it yet. (link)

The problem isn't as "strange" as you think. Although most men with erectile dysfunction are on average 50-65 it can affect younger men as well. I can't say that this is or isn't happening as I'm not a medical doctor.

It can also stem from irrational or paralyzing fears he has. Maybe he's terrified of getting you pregnant, inexperienced whereas you aren't, afraid of STDs and or hurting you. Ask him what he thinks is wrong.

If it seems to be a physical problem all he would need to do is book an appointment with a urologist. This specialist will examine his reproductive organs and system to make sure there's no injuries or other reasons causing this. He/she can also prescribe medication such as Viagra or Levitra.

Don't get upset at him as believe me if he controlled matters which he can't you'd have no problem. It's not his fault or yours. Is it wrong to find him less attractive because he has trouble with erections? I think you know that's rhetorical.

If you have any doubts: You better believe that it's incredibly wrong to abandon someone or lose attraction to them over something physical they can't control. Get him to a urologist and get some books on this subject and make yourselves educated on what you can do in terms of options. It's harder to deal with if it's psychological but can be.


my vagina gets tight during what i think is an orgasm. Is this normal?

(link)

I think you need to get more descriptive about what "tight" means. I think you are referring to spasms and contracting which is normal.


I've always wanted to have my own talk show. So my brother and his friend have started one on youtube. I'm the manager. Basicly, I look up stuff to talk about unless, there are people who have stuff they want to hear. So, here is the video that talks about whats going to happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMTY0XZrQF0

And then here is a video of the first talkshow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtaE4fhzM_w


Are we heading the right way to get big? I look up all the information and basicly write the script. What do you think? There advice to people stinks so i write that two, go figure. But what do you think? Good, bad? I love giving advice, and i wnat to be on my own talk show one day, but i think basicly doing everything for my brother is n't helping me. (link)

The best thing you can do is become a solid writer and really study it. You can't be successful on a television talk show without knowing how to write a script same goes double for TV news.

Pick up all the English courses you can in school from compulsory to electives such as Business English. Then when you are ready to graduate high school get into TV and Radio Broadcasting as it will lead you where you need and want to be.

What to do now? Well, you're right about one thing doing everything for your friend's project won't get you far. You aren't on camera and the program in your own estimation isn't good. The only way to succeed there is if you write quality scripts, get them edited and shoot it. That would catch adult's attention but otherwise not.

Spend time learning to write as well as act. Study drama, get into community theatre and build up stage presence as well as your voice. Also join student council and everything that involves leadership and speaking in front of others no matter what size audience.

It's also very important for you to read multiple newspapers, web sites and view TV news constantly. You need to be up on current events for the field you want to be in and watching how people speak, write and present their pieces.

What you should do is call the newsrooms at your local paper or dailies and ask for the editor or e-mail them. Let them know you want to be involved in television and journalism when you get older and would like to tour the paper and job shadow editors and reporters. They'll take you on assignment and show you how they craft stories.

If they think you're any good they may let you write something small yourself. Also call the newsroom at the local Tv station. They won't put you on air but if you ask to tour the station and go with a reporter to a story and spend the day with him/her they'll let you.

As long as you're mature and don't get in the way when they're live (stand where you should be and not waving to people) they're usually fine with this. Believe it or not some people have waved to people and stepped into live shots before.

Some stations require you to be 18 for a ride-along with reporters and some don't. The reason being is they can't take you to crime scenes, anywhere where shots have been fired or you can be in peril without you signing off on liability. But call and see anyway.

Read all the books you can about grammar, writing, script writing as you get older. Definitely get into theatre and try being an extra in TV and movies filmed in a large city near you as it will show you what being on set is like. The more you know about how things are filmed the better.

In most communities you have a Cable 10 local channel. Call that station and learn about volunteering or watching what they and their hosts do. Ask them a lot of questions and you'll see what the job of producing and hosting a program entails.


i'm not sure if i'm allergic to anything.. but while i was working at my job, in a restaurant, my arm started itching out of nowhere... i don't do anything that deals with food, i didn't eat anything either. i'm a hostess, and i was just waiting for customers to come in. i scratched my arm, and little bumps came up. like how you have goose bumps? it came out like that, it kind of started itching, so i started scratching. and now it's red... my parents tried putting on different kinds of medicine, but none of them seems to be working. it's really worrying me, how my skin is always itching all the sudden when it used to not be like that. what's happening? please help me! (link)

It sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Have you been wearing any type of new clothing or fabric? That's always a leading suspect. Have you started wearing gloves especially latex ones lately?

I figured you might in a restaurant if asked to clean things as well as be a hostess. This could also be caused by wearing a new perfume, using scented soap and changing your shampoo even if the rash shows up elsewhere.

What should you do? First, stop applying creams, ointments or medicine to it. Truth be told that may only make things worse. Instead of that go to a clinic or emergency room and tell them about this. They'll figure out what to do and what it is. It's important to go while the rash is still there. They need to see what it looks like.

Also, get an allergy test done at the same time as it's very helpful at pinpointing what causes it and what else may affect you if you don't take precautions.


I'm a 23 yr old female, who recently got married. Before this, I was a virgin... My husband recently asked me if I would ever feel comfortable going down on him. I want to please him sexualy, but the thing is I have no idea exactly how to perform a blow job. I have a lot of questions, like which areas should I concentrate on, what I do with my mout (is licking or sucking involved, or is it just going up and down the shaft with my mouth?) Also, I know some people like to vary it by using there hands... If doing that, what are some techniques? Any help would be highly appriciated! (link)

This site doesn't dispense that kind of advice ever. There's minors here and I doubt their parents would appreciate that being discussed. Not to mention the legal problems it would cause the owners if we did.

Having said that talk to your partner about not being experienced in that area and find out what he likes. It's that simple! He's the expert on his penis anyway when you think about it. And, by talking to him you can save yourself embarrassment and aggravation.


my granny is 90 years old and she can't really take care of herself so she's living with my aunt right now and whenever my aunt has to go somewhere i look after my granny so she isn't by herself and i wait on her hand and foot. I fix her coffee, give her meds,and fix her supper and she never appreciates any of it and it's really starting to bug me i mean i don't mind looking after my granny for my aunt but granny could at least say thankyou for everything i do for her and i want to tell her off somithing terrible but i hold in my anger and don't say anything about it but i don't know how much longer i can keep my mouth shout what should i do when i want to release my anger out on my granny please help! (link)

You just mentioned that she's 90-years-old and can't care for herself. That should be a clue that she may not even be able to process what is happening around her.

Maybe she has Alzheimer's for all you know and that's why she can't remember to say thank you or converse normally. Then again perhaps she does appreciate it but doesn't voice it as she figures her family knows this.

It could also be that she's totally not functioning at the ability to process everything around her. You haven't said this but the fact you said she's 90 and can't care at all for herself suggests it.

I wouldn't confront her unless you want your whole family to perceive you as a brat or stupid for doing so. They would think it despicable and downright cold to try and upset her like that.

You may be angry but let it go as you have no idea what that woman can think or if at all. You're in this to help someone out and not for recognition. Learn to be humble and selfless no matter what as that's rewarding and of benefit to you.

This situation may be here to teach you a few things such as patience, loyalty, humility and how to be selfless and not expect praise or even thanks all the time from people. Just imagine what it must be like for her to be that age and helpless or having to rely on others for EVERYTHING.

One day that might be you with your kids or grandchildren caring for you. Bless this woman silently and keep your anger to yourself and remind yourself that she probably doesn't know what's going on half the time.

It's not about what you do for her and being thanked. It's about the fact you're doing it because of what she means to you and your family. She might not even know your name or recognize you only periodically. You just don't know.

Maybe you should tell your mother and aunt what's bothering you about caring for her. I'm sure they'll be able to get you to see that directing anger her way or anywhere else isn't right. Let it slide like water off a duck.


17/f. Never dated anyone, at all. I've been talking to this really great guy for a few weeks, and my parents have no clue who he is because he goes to a different school. He and I both like each other and are going on a date in like a week or so. The problem is that we haven't spent much time together in person, so that's the point of the date- to see if it would even work. We talk on the phone and stuff but it's not the same as actually hanging out.

So how do I tell my parents without making them think that he's my boyfriend? I know they'll want to meet him at some point, but he and I have barely even gotten to hang out ever so I don't know how to make this not awkward. Plus, this will be my first date ever so I know my mom is going to be all weird.

Help? (link)

They would likely be extremely happy that you are going on this date. Let them both know that the guy is just a friend whom you know from other friends.

Tell them that you aren't together and that he's not being considered as a potential boyfriend. Let them know that this may change in the future but hinges on this date.

Ask your mother and father to give you total, complete privacy and tell then they can meet him briefly to say hello but more indepth later on if it goes anywhere. I'm sure they'll understand and make things so they aren't so awkward.

Moms are all alike. I can see why this would be a big deal for her and that she'd be proud. Let her be a part of this in a subtle way for example she could get your hair fixed up, a new outfit, shoes, cook a meal or snacks or whatever else.

I don't see how a picture with you and your date is so bad but if you do get her to respect your privacy in the manner above.


I'm 16. I'm sexually active. I've been with 3 guys. I understand that I'm young, but thats not the point here.

I'm a chubby girl. I'm not exactly fat, but I do have a lot of pudge in my stomach area. Every other area of my body is fine except for my stomach, in my opinion.

When I'm having sex, I get really self conscious about my weight. That's why I refuse to be on top. I want the courage to be on top and to take control without being self conscious about my weight.

Besides losing weight, what are some things that I can do to feel more comfortable? (link)

Big girls or those with a few extra pounds are indeed beautiful. I bet that's how your partner views you if he truly loves you. Don't be afraid here. Let yourself go and trust him.

Nothing should stand in your way of enjoying yourself and trying something new. The other thing you may not have thought of is that he's equally as concerned as you are about his body.

He's probably worried about penis size and his own body and performance. Just relax here as you're with someone you love and trust and can let yourself go as he won't attack or be concerned about extra weight. If he didn't like you because of your weight he'd be long gone let alone not having sex with you.

If you want to be on top or in charge be on top or in charge as size is no reason not to. The only thing stopping you is you and your own fears which aren't justified. In the meantime you could also start exercising more, eating healthier and being active. That will flatten your stomach in due time.

It's evident that this guy loves you for you and not just for physical appearance. It's 100% normal for people these days to have a few extra pounds or be a little flabby. We all come in different stature and weights. Just relax and push yourself to gradually try new things here and get comfortable that way.

You should also talk to him about your weight and sex. Let him know what you're upset or scared about and work through this together until you're fully comfortable together.


ive always had a major depression disorder, but its never been like this. it all started when i had sex for the first time. everyone is a little moody when it comes to losing their virginity, especially if they are a teenage girl. i was kind of young when i first did it. 15, to be exact. i was very happy with the guy i lost it with, but i kept feeling like a slut cuz we had only been dating for about 3 months. and also i knew it was wrong to do it, but i did it anyways. so i was depressed a lot. i thought everything was fine between us, but then he started avoiding me and not returning my ims and texts and calls, and i knew from the start he had met someone else. so, he finally broke up with me and started dating that girl. he still is, and they seem very happy. we talk every now and again, like maybe once a week, but we arent exactly friends.

anyways, ive been having these random episodes of mental/emotional breakdown and panic and rage. like, when i went on his profile and saw that he has a petname for her, i got so pissed off and stabbed my radio with a knife and tore it apart and sliced my hand on purpose and destroyed this glass gift he had given me on my 15th birthday. and then the last time i saw him, i had found out that he cheated on me with that girl. and everything just broke. i was kicking him and screaming and slapping him and pounding on his "area" and trying to get some answers outta him, but he wouldnt talk. so i basically destroyed his room. finally, he apologized and was sincere about it (as far as i know) but ive still been pissed off and unhappy. ive been beyond depressed and ive cried almost everyday for the past two months and ive started cutting again. and ive started arguing with myself. like, inside my head. and i talk to myself and start having conversations with him even though hes not even there and i just pretend he is. and for about the past week ive been sicker than ive ever been. im not hungry, and usually im always hungry. (but i also smoke, so would that do anything to my appetite?) and ive been cold and feverish all over and its like a sinus cold but it wont go away. ive tried everything!

does it have to do with him or is it all in my head??????? (link)


It's interesting you mentioned that you suffer from some form of mental illness already. This issue certainly has to do with that illness as well as him. How's it both? It's readily apparent that the events that have transpired with him have served to trigger another side of the illness that until now hasn't been apparent.

There's an added layer of obsession that has come out as a result of this that has always been there but never seen in full. You need help and to tell your doctor everything you told us as well as a trusted adult for your safety.

Even if it has only been two months and even if he cheated on you it doesn't matter. You can't move on with your life and won't get it that you have to as he has done so and wants no part of you.

Also self-mutilation isn't normal, it's wrong and often part of a greater mental health issue. Destroying things when angry isn't normal behavior either as is non-stop volatile rage about him and your situation.

Of the biggest alarm to me is the fact that you are having conversations with him when he isn't there or inside your head. I'm not sure if you think it's telepathic or real one on one but either way that's not normal. It can be signs of bipolar disorder or delusional thinking that you don't yet realize.

To put it blunt you're sick and need professional help from a psychiatrist to get back to a normal existence. How do I know? I've been as sick as you appear to be, was hospitalized and now lead a normal life. I've been around tons of patients like yourself grappling with the same issues.

Plus, you told me you have a mental illness already. It looks as though it's not in check. You need to tell people this and get properly assessed before this turns into a full-blown crisis in every issue of your life and not just this one.

For now start reminding yourself that there's no connection between you and him anymore and that you need to move on. Stop visiting his profile, phoning, e-mailing or seeing him at school. But do get this looked into pronto as your behavior would suggest sickness.


Hi! I'm 13/F and i am very avtive. I play basketball, cheerleading, softball, and tennis. I also ride horses.. I strongly believe in being a virgin when I get married.. But that isn't the question here!!! :-) Will being active and riding horses pop my cherry or stretch my hymen or something? Cause I want my husband to believe me when I tell him I'm a virgin... Also, what exactly is masturbation and how and why do people do it? Thanks!!! (link)

The hymen stretches or tears it doesn't pop or break. Yes, certain vigorous sports and or masturbation can stretch it. Does that mean you aren't a virgin? Hardly! It takes vaginal intercourse to lose one's virginity.

People know that these days hymens can be stretched in a variety of ways and just because yours has doesn't mean you aren't a virgin. As for your second question we can't give how-to info. It's best defined as touching, caressing, rubbing one's genitals for pleasurable feelings or orgasm. Why do people do it? They do it for pleasure or because it feels good mostly. They enjoy certain sensations it causes.


Are you supposed to shave your hair down there

I am a female (link)

It's not something you HAVE to do or are SUPPOSED to. It's based on preference and your own choice. It's normal to have pubic hair and normal not these days. I should point out that the hair serves a purpose. It cuts down on yeast, certain types of infection, dust etc. It also believe it or not has something to do with the release of a chemical that turns on the opposite sex.


Mature men/women know that pubic hair is normal to have and normal to shave. Any partner grossed out by the presence of such hair shouldn't be with you or near that area of your body.


So I recently caused my parents to have a huge phone bill which they aren't reallly mad about BUT i want to go to my friends house. I'm afraid they'll say no for the following reasons.
1. Her brother is my ex-boyfriend. We used to date, but now we're just platonic friends.
2. its about a 15 minute drive.
3. My huge phone bill
How do I convince them to let me go? (link)

You can't convince them or anyone of anything ever. Why? no matter what side you present it's their decision in the end. What should you do? Show them that you are genuinely remorseful and really had no idea what you were doing on the phone would amount to that much.

Apologize for doing it and offer to work it off or pay it off as your responsibility. Wait a few hours after that and mention that your friend invited you over or you wanted to hang out with her.

Let them know that you are responsible and there is not nor will there ever be a connection with the ex-boyfriend they don't like. I think they'll see you why you want to be friends with his sister still. That's about all the convincing you can do.

You need to wait several hours between showing true remorse so they see your words mean something and that you are sorry and not out to bullshit and say just about anything to go. If they see you truly are sorry they'll be more apt to be warm to the idea of you going out to see your friend. You could also ask that she come to your house if it's a supervision issue.


I'm so scared right now! after me and my boyfriend had sex. he couldn't find the condom! we looked everywhere! i asked him if he took it off! he said yes but that he didn't remember where he put it! this morning i found it when i was peeing! it was inside me! now i don't know what to think! if I'm prego or not! when will i be able to know for real! i need to know as soon as possible!

When did you have sex? You have 72 hours in which to take Plan B (Morning After Pill). It won't abort a pregnancy but it will prevent fertilization and an egg being released.

The problem is that in the U.S. you need to be 18-years-old to get it from a pharmacist with valid government issued photo ID. You'll need a prescription from a doctor or clinic too from what I've read. This isn't the case in Canada. Each U.S. state has different laws about it.

I know you would rather leave your parents out of this but I think they need to know that you were being safe and this happened and you need to know what to do about it. You can also ask an older female (an adult) you trust for guidance. Here's a link for more info http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1460.html

I would also look up Planned Parenthood in your area and speak to someone at their STD and birth control clinic for teens about what options you have.
