about

It's fine.
Ask me a question. I like giving advice. If you don't like the advice I give, or the opinion I have, it's fine.

Sometimes you can't get through to people no matter how long and hard you try.

Okay, I have two questions.
I just turned 14 on Valentine's Day. Happy Birthday to me, I know haha!
Anyway. My boyfriend just turned 16 on January 25.
Only a two year difference. That's not bad right?
Well how young is too young?
To go on a "date"?
My mother says it's a matter of responsibility and maturity.
Everyone I know goes out at 14.
Even if their parents drop and pick them upand such.
So is it okay for me?
And how can I prove I am responsible and old and mature enough to go on a "date" with T.J.? My stepmom has met him and he's a really nice, responsible, mature, and respectful young man.
He really is.
Ask my stepmom lol!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I would have to agree with your mom when it comes to the maturity thing. If you're mature and responsible then you're totally ready. And if you think you're ready to handle it, I'd sit down and talk with your parents/stepparents about it. That's the most mature way...and don't use the 'but all my friends do' thing that never works ;]
Good luck with dating!

15f.. my boyfriend is 16.
alright so ive been going out with this guy of like only a week and a half.. but im just curious if he's a virgin or not.. im not saying that im just going to jump on him.. im just like curious, and he doesnt seem like the kinda guy thats open about that kinda stuff.. and i dont want it to be totally werid if i ask him.. so is there a right time to ask that? like i dont know if he will be like freaked out and think im expecting to have sex with him right away.. so how should i ask him or when should i ask him? should i just come out and ask it randomly? ah i dont know.


oh and also im not a virgin and if he is... would that like turn him off? i dont know

My advice to you would be just wait until you guys get to know each other better. Asking something like that after only a week and a half might scare him off a little. I'd wait until you guys are comfortable enough to talk about anything.
Also, if this guy likes you enough, I doubt you not being a virgin will completely turn him off. Hopefully he likes you for personality and something like that shouldn't completely change his feelings.

okay so when i was a kid i made some bad friends... which lead to some legal issues... and my dad was put in jail for awhile because my friends said that he was a sex offender, even thought later on they addmitted that it was a childish prank that went too far. anyway, due to the legal issues that my dad had to face he lost his mind and he thinks everyone's out to get him, he won't get any help because phyciatrists are "evil". basically i ca't deal with his mood swings but i have to because i ruined his life, which my sister, godfather, grandma, and some friends who know about the sistuation keep on reminding me. i skip school to stay home and help around the house, i'm always there for him, and i take care of and drive around my helpless 18 year-old sister because she "needs" to be taken care of. but i do all this without complaining because i hate myself and i ruined his life so i can't hlp but do anyhting he asks, he really is a great dad and he tries really hard... how can i say no to his requests when i owe him everything because we had everything and i ruined it?

It sounds to me that people around you are placing the blame on you when the blame should really be on those ex-friends of yours. You made one mistake by hanging out with bad people, and they are the ones who messed up your dad. Everyone makes mistakes; it's a part of life.
It's great that you help out your family, but do it because you love them and not because you're trying to make up for a mistake you made years ago.
As for your loved ones keeping reminding you that it's "all your fault", maybe you should consider talking to them about how this is making you feel about yourself. Just let it out and stop blaming yourself... =) Feel better

how do people get their foundation or concealer (w/e i dont really know the difference) to stay on their face so smooth? do people wax their face first? b/c on some people makeup looks too fake and on others it appears to be natural how their skin has no flaws whatsoever.

Try this stuff called Almay Smart Shade Makeup...it blends in and matches your color. It doubles as a concealer (for pimples) and foundation (for evening out your skin tone). You can get it at any drugstore I believe...

My favorite one, which might suit your purpose, is on it but here it is anyway:

Guys are whenever
Friends are forever
When worst comes to worst
My girls always come first

Okkay, my boyfriend always says he's going to kiss his girlfriend, & not referring to me, (referring to my other friend) & he goes in to kiss her & I pull him back, I know he is just playing but I would really like him to stop, what should I tell him?

You should definitely tell him how much it's bothering you. Let him know that it's not okay, even just jokingly, to kiss one of your friends. If he can't understand this, then he really isn't worth your time.

Who I sorta like but I wanna become her friend first how should i talk to her cause she hangs out with people I don't but I kind of like her

We all become tongue-tied at some point.
I think the best thing to do is find something that you guys can talk about (I know it's hard believe me). Also, maybe you could try talking to a variety of people so it won't seem so weird that you are randomly talking to her, who seems to be outside your social circle.
and you never know; she could like you too but be just as nervous. Just remember that everyone goes through this.

i want to make my hair have waves at the bottom, instead of just going straight, not really waves just like a flip at the end.

http://www.juniorcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/zoey_101_1.jpg

like her hair, how it flips at the ends

thank youu

Try using one of those round hairbrushes...
Use a hair-drier to dry your hair.
While you're drying, brush your hair with the round brush. But instead of brushing straight down, when you get to the ends turn them out using the roundness. It's like the motion of using a curling iron almost...

Well my favorite cousin is having a sweet15 and since i had her in mine she put me in hers for like a dance routin very fancy whole dress up thing. and now i weigh about 135 but i want to loose like 15 lb from here until beginning of may. can someone help me with what i should eat what i should exersize. i honestly do 500 situps a day 40pushups and 30leglifts to help the tummy aread but im still sitting at that weight please help me

I hear the best workout for the tummy area is running. This builds muscle while burning calories. When picking out healthy food, you don't have to cut out junk altogether. You can probably get away with having it in moderation. Also, there's this cool website that has hints about what to eat based on your body weight/activity level: http://www.mypyramid.gov/
