I might be pregnant, Il find out in a couple of weeks if i miss my period or not but im so stressed out about that fact that i might be pregnant this could cause my period to be late. If i am pregnant, what do i do? I cant keep it but i wouldnt know what to do if i was to have an abortion? I cant tell my family. I feel so alone, i always cry. Please can you give me some advice. (link)
This is a really hard situation. If you don't want to abort your baby, then you have several choices, two of them being:
#1:Telling your family even though you don't want to.
#2:Not telling anybody until it's completely obvious.
Or you may not be pregnant at all. I hope everything works out for you.


I'm 13 years old and I'm about 5'4. I once heard that if you're 5 feet tall, your supossed to weigh 100 pounds, and for every inch after that, it's another 5 pounds. Well, that would mean that I'm suposed to weigh about 120 pounds, but i only weigh 95. Does this mean I'm 25 pounds UNDERweight? It seems that if I gained 25 pounds, I'd be looking near obese. I don't feel or look underweight. Am I? (link)
If your body is healthy, you don't need to worry about this. Sometimes research is wrong because every person is different. Hope I helped!


i know this boy seen 4th grade. we was good friends all. in 5th grade we went together and when i went to a differnt school we started to drifted apart. im in the 8th grade know and he's in the 10 we use to talk and then all of a sudden we stop, for what reason i dont know. we didnt break notfin off. well i moved on and started to meet new people. all of a sudden he called my cell and leave a message saying i should meet him tommorow. and now all this question running through my head. i think the reason he want to meet me is to get back on track with our realationship , but he may just want to use me for a back up girl. i guess my question is that should i meet him or not. (link)
I would say to go ahead and meet him, and then you can decide for yourself. Hope I helped!


how do I stop sunburn that itches? (link)
Use aloe vera. It feels cool and really relieves itching and heat. It's actually a desert plant that was used by natives for that purpose. Hope I helped!

My friends don’t have that much self confidence. They always ask me how they can become more self acceptant, and to be honest I have no idea what to tell them. I have very little, maybe even no self confidence. I always feel like my friends are better people, and I know that’s wrong. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others because they are not perfect (no one is), but I can’t help it. Last year everyone told me I was a little “look-hard.” Basically meaning I was ugly, and people always told me how I was not a nice person... blah blah blah. This year though, I have people telling me how “gorgeous and beautiful” I am, and how I have such an amazing personality. How can that change in over a year, I just can’t bring myself to believe what the others are saying. How can I have more self confidence and help my friends have more also? I want to be able to help my friends, but at the same time, I need to help myself too. ♥ (link)
Dont' worry about what other people think because whatever you think you are, you will become. If you think you are ugly and a mean person, you will seem that way to others. But if you think that you are fun, pretty, happy, ect., you will be. Just try to have a good time with your friends and give them positive reinforcement and compliments. It feels good. Good luck.


alright, i got my nose pierced in march, for the
second time, the first time i took it out too soon
and it closed up. anyways, ive had it in for about
5 months, i had a fake nosering in, the one they
pierced me with in the first place, but im really
sensitive and cant have anything fake in my nose,
so i put in this solid white gold ring and it was
doing completely fine, for 5 months. then recently,
within the past week theres been this bump outside
my nose, i woke up this morning and it was HUGE.
so i took out the ring and put some cleaning stuff
on it, and now its all puss filled, i know it sounds
gross but if you have alot of piercings youd be used
to hearing this kind of stuff, anywayss.

tomorrow my mom is taking me to get it lanced?


is there anything i can do in the meantime to help
the swelling and stuff, is it possible to keep the
ring in? i rly dont want to close it, again. (link)
Try putting ice on it and not touching it too much. Hope I helped.


My friends birthday is coming up. She's turning 12. She plays the drums and loves anime but she's alergic to make up. My other friend and I want to take her some where special. I also need to buy her a gift, but my friend bought exectly what I was going to buy her (a pair of drumsticks and some thing else.) It's my job to choose where to take her, but it can't be expincive. Where should I take her? What should I buy her? Any thing will help

Thanks! (link)
One fun idea is to just take her to your house, where you have a pile of anime movies for you guys to watch marathon style. Rent them or check them out from the library. Hope I helped!


My friend has been having these dreams about her friends dying. She's told one of them. He didn't die, but 2 others did. I don't necessarily think it's her dreams...but maybe fate's telling her something.
Rachna is my friend with these dreams. We're both very good friends with Alex, a boy who asked me out and I said yes(Rachna likes him too, but claims she'll get over it).
So, it started last night. She was IMing me telling me "he's dead." I didn't know WHO was. She said, "I killed him" and I got a little frightened and asked who. "Ishan" she said. Ishan is like one of the closest people in Rachna's life. She claimed it was her dreams who killed Ishan.
"I had a dream and maybe if I just told him he wouldn't have died" she was hysterical between sobs. "I told Alex and he didn't die. I didn't tell my cousin and she died." I felt very sorry.
We stayed up for hours and talked about how she can't change her life and attitude. Rachna's Goth, and she's saying "I'll act all happy and wear pink every day".
Especially since we made a deal saying Alex didn't like me and if he did, I'd have to be a Barbie at Rachna's wedding.
Apparently, there's no wedding. Because "Before I ever find love or get married I'll kill myself and be found in a box on the streets".
Ishan was in Ireland when he died (got hit by a drunk driver), and Rachna was in New York. What could she do? Call Ishan and say "Hey I had a dream you were gonna die, stay away from the streets, k bye"?
Thing is, Rachna won't let me tell Alex and she won't tell Alex. But since Alex is my really good friend I just kind of have an urge to tell him.
Rachna's last words on AIM was "I'm sorry Jordan, I really am" and she signed off.
I haven't slept well last night at all, and I feel so terrible. Damn these drunk drivers, causing so many people misery!!!!!
I don't know what to do next. Any advice? (link)
It's not her fault. Tell Rachna that. A lot of people feel like they are somehow responsible when someone dies, but that is because they miss them or feel guilty about something that wasn't resolved, like a fight or something bad they said. I think she'll be okay when she realizes that. Hope I helped.


I feel like I am not needed. Like I don't have a purpose on this Earth. I feel like if I was gone, no one would notice. And I honestly believe that no one would. I would be gone for weeks before any of my "friends" noticed I was gone. And my family, they would all move on extremely quickly. I am always forgotten, left on the sidelines, doing nothing, locked up in my room, wishing that someone loved me....

How do I get pass this? (link)
Just know this. Every person has a person who would die for them, and you do too. Someone cares deeply for you, even though you may not know them. And don't ever think that the people you care about wouldn't miss you. You have a deep influence on your friends and everyone who cares about you. Don't lose hope.


im gunna try to move in with my favorite cousin (we're seriously best friends) after high school. but i really dont know if ill find a job where she lives (another state). i have alot of money saved up from the job that i have now. should i ask my cousin to turn in job applications for me or something? i dunno if that would work though because we're gunna buy a new house together (we don't know which one).

also is it hard to do what my cousin and i wanna do, which is buy a house together? what kind of stuff do we need to get besides furniture?

thank ya kindly. (link)
To find a job, you should turn in applications. But you will have a huge advantage if you turn in a cover letter and a resume. Cover letters say basically, I want this job because... and I have these qualities... and I would like to work here. Put contact information on the cover letter on the top. A resume tells about past jobs, more qualities you have, and things like that. Use a list, not sentances for the resume. Hope I helped!


People tell me I have a reasonabley good voice but I want to make it really good. What exercises can I do to make it stronger cos at the moment I hit a high note and my voice sort of totally disappears. It's real weird! (link)
You know how when you are yawning, something opens up in the back of your throat? That is your soft palette, and you can lift it on purpose to get a clearer sound. Also, sometimes people think "I can't hit that note because it's high" so they don't hit it even though they can. Relax your throat and let the note come out. Don't squeeze your throat or you will get a strangled sound. Slide up and down between low and high notes. Sometimes you will find that you sing that note without any trouble at all. Hope I helped!


I am looking into buying an almost mint condition 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. I'd like to have it painted white with white pearlescent ghost flames. I want to make it look awesome. Does anybody have an idea of how much this might cost (just to get it painted, not the cost of the truck)? (link)
It sounds like it's going to look awesome! Well, a paint job on a small car is usually at least $1,000 without the ghost flames. Unfortunately this is going to be pretty expensive. Best of luck!


hey, im a 14/f. 7 months ago, my boyfriend & i had sex. & now im pregnant. my parents kicked me out of their house & now i am living with at boyfriend's house. his parents are really supporting us with my pregnancy. my boyfriend says that he is gonna take responsibility for me & the baby. he is 16 years old & he has been workin two full time jobs. so he works all day. we are saving money for our new apartment that we are going to move into next month. i was also working a full time job, but now i had to stop because of my pregnancy. we are saving money to buy clothes & furniture for the baby. the baby is healthy & we are really excited. my bf asked me to marry him, and i said yes. we are getting married next month. my parents and his parents are going to help with the wedding. the thing is that im worried he is going to dump me. just like in movies. i know this is reality, but i just want to know if there is any chances he might dump me. he is really sweet, hes happy & everything. he is always telling me how much he loves me & our baby & that he is always going to take care of us. he is really responsible. i say he is the perfect daddy & husband. he already started buying clothes for the baby. i just want to know if there is any chances he might dump me. thank u for your advice. (link)
I think you should take comfort because I think he really means what he says. I hope you guys can have a good life. One hint: both of you should get as much education as you can so that you can live more comfortably. Hope I helped!


hey well last night i installed the sims 2 along with the sims 2 nightlife. my computer has a big memory so i guess i could put lots of stuff in it. the thing is when i started to play the neighboorhoods were loading so slow .. actually EVERYTHING was loading slow .. i'm not sure why this happens because when i use the internet my computer loads fast. I have limewire and have about 400+ songs in it so i was wondering maybe that's one of the problems that my sims game is loading so slow? please help .. i rate 5's. Thank You (link)
Sims is always slow. No need to worry about your computer. Hope I helped!



okay. sunday im going to my first overnight camp. it will be until wednesday. how many shirts/shorts? any other tips? should i bring my new razr? PLEASE HELP
I RATE !!!!!!


please do this ASAP (link)
I would say to bring about four of everything and an extra pair of socks (wet socks are really unpleasent to put on). You should bring a flashlight to keep under your pillow, just in case, and bring something you like to do, like a book or beads or something. Also bring personal hygene items like shampoo and brush and toothbrush. I wouldn't bring my Razr if I were you because things tend to go missing at these camps. Hope I helped!


I know nothing about cars.
I'm turning 16 soon and my parents are going to by me the car I want. I want the Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible.
They just need to know how much it is.
This is what it says on the site:
Base MSRP $21,365
Invoice Price $20,190

Which price is it? Or is the price the both of those combined?

How much less is a used car usually?

This is the car:

Please help! Give me any info you can.

Also:
-Is it a safe car?
-Can I get it with 4 doors?
-Is it at all possible to get it in pink?
-Can cars be painted?
-If so, about how much does it cost?

Thank you so much!! (link)
I can't give you specifics about prices, but I think the base price is what they are offering it for initially. But you would have to be crazy to buy it for what they are offering it for. When you ask about it, play hard to get and wait for them to throw in a juicy deal or two before you "decide". You can get a car painted at a body shop, but it can be pretty expensive. Like more than $1,000 for a small car. Hope I helped!


What advice would you give a 14 year old aspiring actress who's parents don't give a damn about her dreams, who lives out in the country, and isn't the stereotype of pretty? (link)
Try to still be you. It sounds like you will just have to do these things yourself. There will always be people out there to support you. You don't have to be pretty to still be a good actress. Get as much practice as you can in plays or even using your voice in creative ways to read a story to kids. Hope you can achieve your dreams!


My boyfriend has had sex with many other girls before, and he wants me to lose it to him. I love him but, i want to know the symptoms that might occur after we have sex. I also would like to know how, it would feel and how long will I bleed. I get horny easily but, i will never try to masterbait and, i just want to know if i should endure in sexual intercourse with my boyfriend or not!!By the way i am a female! I also would like to know if i should suck him off!! (link)
Don't let a guy manipulate you to lose your virginity. Sex can cause a whole lotta problems for a thirteen year old girl. Think about this. Do you want to lose your virginity? If no, don't do it. If yes, do it. Hope I helped.


I have really fat calves, and im really self concious about them. My calves are probibly half fat, half muscle. Everything else on my body is slim except for my calves. So I was wondering if there are any excercises I can do to slim my calves down. Anything at all will help. Thank you SO much. (link)
Some people just have this problem. This might help. Stand on a stair step with about half of your foot off of the stair, so your heels are in midair. You should be facing up the stairs. let your body sink down. Then tighten your calves and your body should go up. Then sink back down... and do it, say, twenty times. Do three sets and see how you are feeling. Hope I helped!


For my major, I have to take an "speech" class (I assume you make speeches). The thing is, I am a horrible public speaker and get totally nervous. Do most colleges offer this as an online class? Are there any degree programs that do not require a "speech" or "oral communications" class? I try to avoid speeches as much as I can in school. (link)
Speeches are an excellent thing to do, but a lot of people fear speeches as much as death itself (about 70 percent of people in the US). What is the audience going to do to you? Seriously? Most people are going to be afraid too. It will help if you say in your speech that you are nervous, but don't apologise for anything. People are looking for the good things in your speech, not bad things. So they will only see the good things. I suggest that you take your oral communications class anyway. Hope I helped.
