ok me and my boyfriend hve been together a while. and we hve done most everything but, sex. alot of my friends hve already had sex. i know some people might say im too young but me and my boyfriend love each other and i know we are both physically and emotionally ready. well he comes over often but everytime im on my period [ kinda wierd? ] but we both hve tlked about this.. and sometimes i want to and others im jus like idk.. but i think i am ready but im so scared i might get pregnant but most people i know of hve had sex and used a condom and hve not got pregnant. seriously what are the chances. do you think im ready? and how would i let him know while we are together that i want to..? PLEASE DONT SAY IM NASTY OR NETHING IM REALLY NOT! please answer asap

It's good that you two talked about it, but if you're ready what's holding you back?
Remember not to be pressured into sex because everyone has done it. Also make sure you're choosing to do it for the right reasons. As for the fear of pregnancy, use birth control pills along with a condom. This way there's two forms of added security! Also if you choose to do the pill, use it for a good month before you get into sex. This way your body gets used to the hormones that are released from the pills.
Me and my boyfriend (after discussing it for a good month and a half) decided to have sex because we felt that we loved each other enough to be with one another for 9 months and we've been through a hell of a lot. We felt it was right to share our most personal parts of each other to one another, take our love to the next level.
If you feel you are ready, you are ready.
Good luck and be safe!

21/f Here's the situation my fiancee's aunt (married in) is so annoying I just want to pop her in the mouth. She makes these assumptions about me and then gossips about me. Many people including my fiancee has told me that she thinks i am too "sassy". The problem is no one asked her opinion! I am tired of her lecturing me about things that she thinks are going on but they aren't. example: My fiancee and I disagree like all people do on some things. She says why are yall fighting about things that don't matter! WHAT FIGHT? And she takes people's opinions especially hers for truth.She has good sides but this overshadows the good in her. How do I get past this without knocking her out?!?
anonymous -
The next time she tries to open her yap and blabber about things, show her what's up. Don't yell, don't accuse, don't insult, simply just confront her about her unacceptable behavior!
For example, when she mentions your disagreements, just simply ask her, "Like us, every couple has it's disagreements. I'm sure you and your husband have had your own share, so exactly why are you phrasing it like it's such a big deal?"
If she still opens her yap on mindless blabber, just simply tell her, "It's not your place to criticize me and my fiancee's relationship. We love each other very much, and the least you could do is be happy for us."
In a sense, try to make her feel bad. Make her feel guilty for the way she's been acting. In a sense, make her feel feel stupid at last resort. Make it so it looks like she is out of her mind not knowing what the hell is coming out of her mouth.
Like, "Are you here to know what goes on betweeen us? Do you know every little detail of why we argue? Are you handcuffed to us to know anything? Then who are you to say what's right and wrong? Who are you to criticize something you have little knowledge about? I don't mean to be rude, but stop being ignorant and arrogant."
Good luck! :)

to those of you who go to college: is 18 hours a semester a little too much? i'm a highschool senior, graduating early, and i also want to get through college as fast as possible too. i also want to work while i'm there... does this mean that i'd have no social life whatsoever? i don't want to kill myself with schoolwork like i have been this whole year but i also want to get out of there asap, i have my reasons.
anonymous -
Yes, 18 hours a semester is a lot. To tell you the truth, at my college that's the maximum number of hours you can take!
I'm taking 17 credit hours this semester, and it's going alright, but two classes are really killing me because they require a lot of time. My suggestion is that since you will be a freshman, try maybe 12-15 credit hours your first semester. If you do pretty well, go ahead and take 18 your second semester.
Good luck!

I have been having sever pain around my bladder and that area. I know I have a cyst on both of my overies, and they could be getting bigger. I am scared to go to the doctor, because I don't like getting invaded. Should I go no matter what?
anonymous -
YES! It's better to find out what you have than to let it develop further and pose further health risks. Although you don't like getting invaded, you'll be relieved to discover what it is instead of dealing with the pain of not knowing.

This is for all you lovely ladies out there.
- What types of things do you like to hear.
Example. "You're beautiful"
What other things do you like being told.
Thanks!
anonymous -
For starters, we don't like to hear things that don't come from the heart. We like to hear original things from our men, not everyday compliments. Be creative!
Remember to be honest and don't say anything you don't mean.
One thing that'll hit great points with us women is telling us that we look beautiful, even in sweats without all the glamour and makeup.
We also like to hear how much we mean to you and how much you love us.
As for corny lines, some girls like it some don't. But if you have a chick with a sense of humor, go for it!

anonymous -
If you really love this guy, make an effort to acknowledge his presence around these "people"! Not abiding by your word just makes him question your quality of girlfriend-material. You might not be embarrassed about him, but to him it seems like you care more about other people than you care about him. If this isn't true make it up to him and prove him wrong. I can't spoonfeed you instructions, all I can say is be creative and stop this nonsense!
Also explain to him that maybe there's just so many people around and you get distracted sometimes. But remember, you're the one at fault here so do the mending!
Good luck!

My sister is 18 and has recently been kicked out by my mother due to dumb issues. Now I love them both, but my sister is telling me crap about my parents and my parents are telling me crap about my sister. They basically want me to pick sides. Do I pick my parents that have raised me and that I will be stuck with for at least 4 more years? Or do I pick my sister because shes like my best friend?
anonymous -
Don't pick any sides. Both your parents and your sister should respect that you love them both and shouldn't make you feel obligated to choose between who you love more. Tell them to work it out and not get you involved in the middle. They wouldn't want to be stuck in the same situation so why should they bestow it upon you?
Good luck!

I really love this girl i am talking to i mean i lvoe to talk to her and be with her as much as possible, i am 17 and turn 18 in about 4 months we are talkin about movin in together do you think that is a good idea she is already 18
anonymous -
It really depends on how long you've been together. If you've been with her for quite some time meaning you both get along well, are able to compromise, and work things out after fights, then the odds of it working out are well.
But take into consideration the costs of living on your own. It's very VERY pricey. I'd first do extensive research on the monthly costs and see if you are able to afford it first before all else. On average, a couple would pay about $1000+ per month. This includes rent, food, water, phone, energy, car insurance, and miscellaneous costs.
Good luck!

On Friday, I had asked (in an msn message) my friend Christine if she and my friend Jenn were going to a concert that night, because I wanted to go with them. She replied with a big long msn message (summarized) saying she and Jenn are better friends with each other than with me, they just wanted to hang out with each other this weekend. Also, Christine said she feels like I don't listen when she talks to me and that I don't care, so it's hard to want to be around me. Basically, I've been dumped as a friend. She said she didn't mean to put this all out on msn, and I could call her if I want to talk about it. So my question is, should I call her? What do I say? Is it worth repairing the friendship? Should I bother? (note- I did email her Friday thanking her for being honest with me, instead of just ditching me w/o reason, which they've done before)
anonymous -
Simply your answer relies in how you feel. How much do these people mean to you? If you value their friendship, give it a shot. Compared to if you don't give a crap, just drop it and find new friends.
They were being honest with you, but I don't think it was right of them to dump you as a friend. The least they could've done was continue being friends with you even after the confrontation.
I've been through the same scenario except I wasn't in your position. I was the one who did the dropping. Why I did it was because I confronted my "friends" about their behavior before, and when they didn't acknowledge the effect that it had on my feelings, I didn't give them a second chance.
Now if you were to go and try to repair this friendship, really listen to them and what they have to say. If they mean that much to you, realize the pain or hurt you've caused them and make a difference. Make it up to them.
As for what to say, tell them how you feel. Tell them that their friendship means a lot to you and explain to them how you'll make it up to them.
Good luck!

ok me and my boyfriend have been going out for about 7 months now, and we really love each other. i'm 15 and he is 16, and going to be 17 next month. he thinks everything is perfect in our relationship and i feel the complete opposite. like we will go out and it will be the most amazing time ever, but then he finds someone to completely ruin the magic of it all. like he will go somewhere and wont talk to me or lie about what he did etc. ( i know he lies sometimes but i dont tell him i know ) he always asks me why im upset and i just say im not and he always asks me why i dont tell him things and its because everytime i call him to talk to him about something he asks me to call him back and i have gotten so fed up with it i just dont call back anymore and then he like freaks out.. and he has been lying to me about him smoking.. and all he does is hang out with his friends.. he talks about them non stop, like i dont know if he wants me to be jealous or what.. but i guess its kind of working.. i dunno, how can i talk to him ? am i being selfish ?
- i dont want to break up with him though, i mean, i really love him, and i almost feel like i am being stupid for putting up with all that i am, but i dont know, please help :( i'll rate high
anonymous -
First off, I think you two are both guilty of witholding information from each other. This situation is due to a lack of communication.
It appears that for the guy he's just being a guy. Is he obligated to tell you where he is, what he's doing, and when everytime he goes out? Let the guy breathe! Let him hang out with his friends! After all, you don't want him to restrict you from your life outside of him do you?
When he does lie about his whereabouts, it's most likely because of the way you restrict him and react when he's out without you. Since you won't let him have his male freedom, he has to lie about it and secretly do it behind your back regardless of if you approve or not. I agree that it's wrong of him to lie and that he should take your feelings into consideration, but give the guy some slack and maybe he'll be more open!
As for your behavior, I don't see why you'd play it off as if you didn't know about his lies? What good does this do? And the fact that you use tactics like making him worry like crazy to "get back at him" because you're fed up doesn't solve anything at all. You aren't being selfish, but you are being the epitiome of the stereotypical girlfriend. Look at yourself when you're doing this, I don't think that is the kind of girlfriend you want to be. I'm not asking for you to change for this guy, but I'll bet that if this continues the guy will most likely end up leaving.
My suggestion in helping this situation is that you two really need to sit down and have a talk with one another. Get some things straightened out about what you want from each other and that you both should respect each other. Treat others as you wish to be treated right?
He needs to stop lying and be more open to you and in order for that to happen, you need to be approachable and welcome to what he's willing to tell you. All in all, be open with each other and respect each other.
I know I used to think the same way you did like wanting my guy to be with me and spend time with me like I was his world. But realize that both partners live separate lives from each other, and both parties need to respect that. Sure we deserve time with one another, but give each other space! You don't want to be clingy!
I hope that this helps and good luck!

i want to loose 10 pounds by the summer. im 13.. whats the easiest way to do it?
anonymous -
Eat healthy, drink a lot of water, and exercise. It's as simple as that :)
Use common sense when eating healthy, which means no junk food or on rare occasion. As for water, try to drink about 6-8 glasses a day. It helps suppress the appetite and fills you up. When doing exercise, try jogging, running, jump roping, anything to get your heart rate up cuz that's what burns the calories and the fat. Drinking green tea also helps speed up your metabolism. Remember never to starve yourself! It actually assists in making you fatter believe it or not. How is that when you starve yourself, your body uses a mechanism to slow down your metabolism. When you do eat, your body grabs that fat and stores it so it'll be harder to burn when you start exercising.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi.
I'm in need of some advice of what to do. Lately my boyfriend of 7 months has been seeming different. I do admit this is an internet relationship and I haven't gotten a chance to meet him in person. But things have always been good between us. However lately, he seems distant. I'm not sure why. But I'll go to talk to him and he doesn't respond for long periods of time, and it's not occasionally that he takes awhile to respond. It's anytime I talk to him anymore. Also, he used to always want to talk on the phone but anymore he's always busy or tired. I'm not sure if he's losing his interest or getting tired of me. I'm kind of scared that it has to do with a friend of his and mine that was gone for awhile and just came back recently. The entire time she was gone he was always saying he missed her.
I want to talk to him about it but I'm not really sure how. I've never had this problem before and I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or what.
Please, I really need some advice. :\
anonymous -
The best thing to do is just talk to him about it. Remember to put him at ease, don't accuse him about anything, and don't make him feel obligated to withold information from you.
Just tell him that he's been acting differently (tell him how he's behaving recently) and you're really concerned that he's ok. And be sure to reassure him that he can tell you anything that is on his mind and that you won't overreact if it's bad (make sure you won't either, you don't want to break your word). Remind him that communication is one of the most important foundations in a relationship, and you're just concerned that he's not being open with you lately. You just want to know why is all.
If he denies that anything is wrong, just ask him "Are you sure?" If he says yes, believe him.
If you've been with him for 7 months you should have a good idea of what goes on in his life to tell if he's being suspicious. Could he be tired cuz of sports? Family? Extracurricular activities? School? Remember to take those into consideration.
I hope this helps and good luck :)

Last night I was over at some friends house and I was the only girl and there was three boys (I'm 19) and we were drinking and they must have got drunk becasue they grabbed me and flung me onto the bed and started having sex and I didn't want to! Now this morning I won't stop bleeding! PLEASE HELP...oh my god I don't want this to happen to me I'M A GOOD GIRL!
anonymous -
First off, you were raped if you resisted at all, especially if you didn't want to have sex. I'd go to the doctor to get it checked out. Even if you think it's embarrassing, it's better that you find out what it is and if it's a problem so that you can do something about it rather than ignore it and prolong any health problems. Or go to Planned Parenthood, everything there is confidential. Also, if you didn't know the guy or simply don't like him, call the police up and file a rape report.
Hope this helps!

A guy making a compliment might just be that, a mere compliment. Now if he likes you and wanted a relationship with you, he'd show it by hanging out with you more and talking with you a lot. Trust me, you'd know immediately.
Hope this helps!

I've never gotten along with my dad's side of the family. We see each other once a month and they always ask the same dumb questions. "How is school?" they ask and I say fine. "Do you have a boyfriend?" they enquire and I say no. Then they ponder ALOUD why not. Well, Today we went over there and I was nervous because this time I actually have a boyfriend. I was tempted to lie and just sit through hearing all my attractive qualities again. But instead of asked if I had one, they asked "Who's your boyfriend?" I was so mad that they just assumed that I had one! (Nobody had told them I did.) They just assumed I did and out of the blue wanted to hear all about him! Well I hate that side of my family and I NEVER want them to meet any of my boyfriends. They'd be totally embarrassing and would probably scare my bf off. So what do I do? I don't want to tell them anything about my boyfriend, I don't want them to think they'll get to "meet" him, and I don't want to tell them that they are nosey. What should I do? They probably think I'm rude because I did'nt even tell them his name! But I think they are rude for invading my business and assuming things. I don't care if they are teasing or not, it's sooo mega annoying! HELP!
anonymous -
It's not that your dad's side of the family is being nosey about your life, it's just that they are trying to see what a young lady you have become. And it appears that this communication gap is what is causing all the commotion. It seems that they're putting in the extra effort to get to know you but you are just shutting them out.
Don't you think it's ridiculous that you overreact to a simple question? Sure they assume, but have you considered what it might be based on? What's wrong about thinking you have a boyfriend? It might be because that you're family thinks that you are a great person inside and out, and that it would be hard to believe that you could possibly still be single. I'd take that as a compliment! How on earth could that be offensive?
Why I say this is because I went through the same thing with my mom's side of the family. They always asked if I had a boyfriend too, and like you, I said no (it was the truth). And when I did have a boyfriend, they asked about it again, and I said yes. Why they want to know is because I'm growing up, and if a guy is going to enter my life, they want to make him feel welcome.
I apologize if I sounded a little blunt and straightforward, but I think it's silly that all this is solely based on your family just trying to get to know you! When they ask, you don't have to go into detail about your boyfriend, just answer what they shoot at you. If they get too personal, just simply reply "Hey, he's my boyfriend. It's not like we're getting married!"
I hope this helps!

if i am 10 am i too young to date?
anonymous -
In my opinion, and realize that it's only an opinion, I think that 10 is too young. Why I come to such a conclusion is how are you going to go on dates? A lot of 10 year olds don't have a lot of money, transportation is out of the question (I'm sure it'll feel awkward if you have your mom drive you to a date), and vice versa.
Hanging out is fine, group getogethers are acceptable, but I'm not sure about dates. Especially at such a young age cuz I hate to tell you this, but a lot of young relationships don't last. If you do choose to date, be prepared to take the risk of everything that comes along with it: emotional attachment and possible heartbreak.
Once you get older, you'll understand more about the opposite sex, and basically you'll be mature in knowing how and what to do in handling relationships.
I hope this helps!

I am very shy and that's affecting my life, I can't find a boyfriend or make new friends because of it but I have good old friends. Can you give me some tips on overcoming my shyness and talking to people?
anonymous -
I was once a wallflower myself, but I found that shyness won't get you anywhere. Realize that sometimes in order to achieve the things you want in life, you're going to have to step out of your comfort zone regardless. For starters, realize that not all people will judge you, and even if they do, who cares about what they think? Especially since judgemental people are the dumb people who can't accept people for the unique person that they are. Second, try to start up conversations with people in class. Ask them about the homework, talk about the teacher, extracurricular activities, etc. For me, it's easier to talk to the people with similar traits that are also quiet as well. I feel that once you start a conversation, it's easier to keep it going compared to other people starting to talk to you. If none of these options seem appealing, try joining clubs outside of school that will include person-person interaction.
As for boyfriends, some guys like shy girls. But if you want to make the first move, just start talking! Talk about anything really, but mainly what I find less awkward is talking about your surroundings. For example, if you're in a pizza shop, you can ask him, "Hey I've never eaten at this place before, do you know what's good to order?"
I hope this helps!

I don't understand why they'd talk such crap about me behind my back or why one of my 'friends' doesn't even believe me.. it makes me feel like they think I'm not pretty or nice enough to get one and so I have to make one up!

The only way that I can see to really have them stop this nonsense is to have your boyfriend go meet them. Actions speak louder than words right? This way you have real proof that he's your boyfriend.

anonymous -
About those gel stains, try putting baby powder over it to keep it sheer and dry. The reason why you might still have sweat circles is because you use the gel type. Try opting for sheer/powder based deodarant :)
