i have the most amazing bf in the world! i love him, but listen to this. ok, so i was having dinner with my bf's family and they are like high upper class people, and it was like a really nice diner and stuff. all of a sudden, i farted. nice and lound and long. i didn't know what to do so i was like "heh heh...the wind is quite loud tonight, eh?" in the fake brittish accent and they were like REALLY offended. so after dinner my bf was like cracking up but i was really embarressed! then he said it turned him on, and so i was like "hott!" and so we pulled the car over and started doing it, and then, the worst thing imaginable happened-his parent's drove by, saw our car, pulled over, and saw us going hott and heavy. now, they won't speak to us, and, because of that, my bf DUMPED ME. i wanna get him back, and i want to be able to confront his parents again. help!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ne way... first you need to have a talk with your boyfriend about what happened. It takes two people to be intimate with eachother so he really shouldn't of dumped you for that. And if he doesn't want to be with you, there is nothing you can do about it and you are better off. Maybe he just needs some time to get over this. So give him a few days, of some time and space. Hopefully he will miss you and want to get back with you. Don't worry about his rents. They'll have to get over it as long as he wants to be with you. Overall they should understand im sure they make out all the time, or at least used to when they were young. ;)hehe

I purchased a pair of socks for my brother's not-yet-born child and plan to give them as a gift at the baby shower, which is next month. These are really nice socks, made out of merino wool, and (for socks) they were kind of expensive.

However, I fear that if I just give a pair of socks at the baby shower, I will appear cheap and unwelcoming of the baby. Should I just give the socks but explain that they are 100% merino wool? Should I buy multiple pairs of merino wool socks? Should I buy an additional gift?

Incidentally, this baby will be the first full nephew I will have. My half-siblings have had seven children between them, but this is the first time a full sibling has had a child.

Don't buy another pair of socks, but a matching hat, or something else that would go cute with the socks. Maybe an outfit, or a toy. Remember it's the thought that counts.

Ok, so My boyfriend of 2 years dumped me 3 months ago because he said first it was because I was possesive and then he said he just wanted to be single. Well two weeks later he started dating a girl who was 15 and he is 17 and she lives 3 hours away. Well, they broke up a few days ago and NOW he is dating a girl from my school. It just hurt me so bad to find out that he found ANOTHER person and Im still by myself. I hate going to school because I don't want to see them together. I havent talked to him since we broke up and when he sees me at school he literally puts his head down and darts to the other side of the hall. I feel like I will never find anyone else. Things just get better for him and suck for me.

AWWWW... well maybe your just one of those people that doesn't go from person to person. I know that it hurts to see them together. whenever you do, pretend you dont seem them... look the other way. Act like it doesnt bother or effect you, keep this up and eventually it wont. Try to make sum new guy FRIENDS. Go hang out with the girls. Meet new people and keep yourself occupied. You dont have to move on just because he has. Take your time, you will know when you are ready and when the right person comes along. Good luck :)

I'm 5'1 1/2 and I think 88-90 pounds..
See? That's how skinny I am. I've gone on these weight things on the computer and they all say I am underweight. All of my friends are about 100 and the same height as me and look normal weight.

Does anyone know of a good way to gain weight but still be able to exercise a little bit? I would prefer it to be a healthy way but either way would be fine. Also, how many more pounds do all of you think I should gain?

Eat foods with lots of protein, try to eat every few hours. If you are going to work out skip cardio, and work on building muscle.

Back when I was a senior in highschool I was really unpopular and I had a crush on one of the most popular guys. He knew I liked him but because of his popularity he never asked me out (but I suspect he DID like me). This is because I caught him checking me out at the prom when I was all dressed up and he used to sneak looks at me in our english class. At the time he was dating a very popular girl in the class. Well I just had my ten year highschool reunion and hadnt seen him since higschool. He is married now. Although he never talked to me I kept catching him staring at me. Do you think he may still like me?

It's a possibility. He may be just be checking you out cuz he thinks your hott. That doesn't necessarily mean that he likes you or has any interest in you. Some people simply get pleasure just by looking. The best way to find out how he feels about you is by talking to him.

is it bad if a guy thinks you're sappy?

It would be bad if ANYONE thinks your sappy. You can't control your emotions, but you can teach yourself how to hide them. It's not always best for people to see your emotions.

I am finnaly getting a cell phone!! but.. it is my Mom's old one :( but y'know it is something. I am going into High School and they say like 100 minutes is enough, but i am afraid that when i get new friends i will be talking to them alot, and i cannot convince my parents that i NEED more minutes... what should i do???

100 minutes is no where near enough for me, and im not much of a phone person. It wouldn't be best of you to look at more minutes. It would be better if you get a plan with free mobile to mobile. Like if all ur friends have cingular, get cingular with free mobile to mobile. And they have that one new company where you can supposedly choose the numbers you can share free mobile to mobile with regardless of their service provider.

13/f.
Im getting contacts in a couple days (monday) and i was just wondering if anyone can tell me anything about them. IS it hard to put them in? Can they actually like slip down in your eye where you cant get them out? how long can you wear them? What will I have to do when i go to get them? Any tips or anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Contact lens are GREAT! It's easy to put them in once you get the hang of it. They usually dont slip down in your eye where you wouldnt be able to get them out unless you rub ur eyes. In that case you can rub them again and bring them back to the front of your eye. You can do almost anything with contacts. You can run, swim, play sports, etc They even have contacts now that you can sleep in.

i told my friend i was afraid to die naked and now she makes fun of me. what should i do? :(

First of all never again share information like that with anyone. 2nd talk to her tell her how you feel about her making fun of you. If she continues to do so, start making fun of her for making fun of you. If that doesn't work you will probably have to sink down to her level and make fun of her embarassing moments.

A boy that I like said on a scale of one to ten he likes me about an eight and a half. When I told him I think I'm going to the movies with another boy the day we're supposed to hang out he said "oh ok then we'll just hang out friday" and I thought he would get concerned since he likes me so much that I'm going to the movies with someone else. So he's like "Well we aren't going out". I don't know what to think..do you think he really likes me?

If you aren't able to answer that question and you actually know the guy, how do you expect us to answer it based on the little information that you have given. Ask HIM how he feels about you.

does the veet rasera bladeless kit thing work very well?
and about how much is it? and is it really better than just a normal razor and shaving cream?

In my opinion the veet worked EXACTLY the same way nair does. Most people i've talked to get an allergic reaction to both veet and nair on their LEGS. But when i use it on my arms its not that bad. Try it out.

Hey , yesterday I bought some Matte Mousse foundation and i thought I would try a darker shade because i have tanned more. I couldnt try it in the shop (Morrisons) because there were no testers of that shade and I tried it today and It is too orange and doesnt match my skin. What i want to know is do I have the right to take it back and ask for the lighter shade or is it now that ive tried it I can't refund it?

thankyou in advance please reply asap
luv Rachel x

Just take it back and yell at them until they refund you. Yell B****, moan, screm, and demand a manager. (I do it all the time) It's not your fault the color looked different on your skin as it did in the bottle.

I think I may have depression. I don't know if it is temporary or not. I have shown several classic symptoms of depression for nearly three months now, and I am so afraid to ask for help. I feel like there shouldn't be anything wrong with me, and I can't talk to my family about it, because I don't want it to become a huge ordeal. My mom has three sisters - the way they gossip, my problems would be all over the family before the words even left my mouth. I really don't want to draw any attention to myself because I am ashamed that I can't shake this feeling. Are there tips for dealing with possible depression without seeking help? Should I just treat the symptoms as they appear?

http://bipolar.about.com/

This website is about bipolar disorder, but if you look at the top right-hand side you will see information on depression. Don't substitute this info for a doctor's diagnosis. You still need to see a doctor, this will just help you understand depression.

I am an 18-year-old female and I feel as though my boyfriend controls me. He limits the girls I can talk to and talking to guys is definitely out of the question. In turn I feel as though I should do the same to him, so I do. Except I won't simply tell him to not go out at all. I will tell him to not go out 5 times a week, get drunk with his friends and pick up underage girls. Yet, I still feel guilty for telling him not to do this because I feel as though I have stooped down to his level and that I am now controlling him. He makes me feel this way as well. I love him, we are very close and have been dating for a long while, but what should I do?

I dont understand why you with sum1 that gets drunk and picks up underaged girls. Apparently y'all aren't that close if you have to tell him to stop doing that AND you feel guilty on top of that.

How do I make my skin feel and look more soft/smooth? My face has patches of red because I blush easily sometimes and then there's my acne. My skin is combination. It's more dry then oily though.

I just want to know how do I cover up my acne?
I was told that I shouldn't try to when the pimple is red. But.. there isn't a single time where it ISN'T red. [i dont pile up on acne products or pick at them, so i dont know why they are screaming red]
whenever i try to put concealer on, it doesn't work. it spreads across and it cracks right on the pimple. -so i usually don't try covering it up.-


I don't know. My skin doesn't feel smooth at all. And my pores.. are just..screaming out there.

Any tips for me?

And no, I'm not 'depressed' over my face.

This is just something to work on even if it takes months.

Yes, proactive works but I can't afford it.

you need to see a dermatologist
