is it wrong for me to mastorbate im only 14 and i want to get a vibrator but i dont know how to with out my mom knowing help me!
love,
confused =/ (link)

There's nothing wrong about masturbation. It's pretty much a universal thing with both sexes at this at.
Masturbation is normal and healthy and men, woman, seniors, teens, children, infants engage in it. It's normal to do it and normal not to. Age doesn't factor in really.
Your other question about vibrators was answered better than I could below this answer.

14/f
it all started a year ago when my mom found out i lost my virginity two weeks after it happened. everything was a mess and i became the disgrace of the family in her eyes. for a while i wasn't sure what to do i mean she was putting me down constantly by telling me what a slut and a whore i was for one incident i regreted because the only reason i did it was because i though he really cared and i was so stupid to believe it. i never spoke to him again after thet. i couldn't take it and i finally burted out "well since you're always right and obviously i'm a whore i'll prove you right!" i slept with 3 guys after that and cared about each one but only one cared back. my mom thought i was just mad and said that but now i know that was really stupid of me to do.but i shaped up after that i stopped focusing on guys and more on the family but still my mom's putting me down the other day she called me a bitch for the first time and i was scared. it's like i had an empty feeling inside you know? i don't think i'm a bad person over that one thing. i know it hurt her what i did but i didn't mean to. and for her to verbally abuse me i think is wrong it's been a year and she's still making comments. like the one she said when she took away my phone ,"oh i'm sorry your pimps aren't gonna have any business lately." honestly i don't think it's right.
i would really like your opinion and help please and thank you. (link)

Do you have an aunt, uncle or grandparents you trust? You could have them confront her over the comments she has been making about you.
If they show her that she's wrong here she will soon lay off of you due to embarrassment. You could also approach your teacher in confidence or guidance counselor about your home life. They can then tell her she's being too tough on you.
If you can trust a friend's mother or father to do this as well it will help. When someone's peers or relations embarrass them about the way they treat their kids they'll improve really fast.
I think you should get your teacher or guidance counselor or an adult you both trust to tell your mother to get into counseling with you and your family. Something is not right about an adult who makes these kind of remarks to their kid.
I know you must be a burden to your mother at times and your behavior has hurt her but it's not acceptable to have her act this way to you.
You're right you made a mistake a long time ago and you corrected your behavior since. The next time she brings it up tell her: I'm sorry I did it. I learned and have shaped up since. Don't lord it over me because I've beaten myself up over it too much myself."
Handle any remark she makes in a mature and adult fashion and bite your tongue. You could always add this to the above. "We have issues we need to work out together. We can either fight about it or do something about it. Let's get help."
The problem is not your sexuality and sex here. It's your broken relationship with her that has been broken before all this.
I have the strongest feeling that she has experienced the same things you have at the exact same age and s projecting fear/anger on to you so you never do what she did. It's an issue she has to work out no doubt.

okay i ahve this problem with my math teacher, well call her Ms. Fry (i dont know haha) But she said that i we dont understand somehting to come after school for extra help, so i ask her what day would be good and she tells me. So i call my mom and tell her but she cant come and get me, so i hav to cancel, thats apparently MY FAULT.
Anyways come the test i have no idea what im doing and I ask Ms. Fry a question and she says she cant answer it, but i was totally lost, but decided shes doing it to be fair to the other students which i understand. BUT we have this packet where we have to look up the answers (like where to measure)and the packet isnt tiny either, ITS HUGE and that was the easy part, but i spent so much time on the hard part i had no time for the easy part and by the time i got to it, everyone was crowded by the door waiting for the bell to ring. So i say aloud "Im never gonna make it, where do i find this?!" cuz the packet was huge and someone gives me the answer. I had onl one left, so she calls us up in teh front of the classroom and i explain to her i wasnt cheating, but i do understand it was wrong to talk during a test. I tell her that and she says she doesnt care and that its not her fault im "Slow". Then i ask her when the best time for extra help would be and she says its too late for that. I mean its never too late to know more about anything, maybe a possible retest, but im not even expecting THAT i just want to understand what i didnt. If that makes sense haha.
But i dont know what to do in this situation, im failing and have a bad teacher that hates her job and tells us everyday "im only doing this for the money"
HELP! (link)
|
Have your parents mention to the principal her "I'm only ding this so I can make money" comment. I'm sure they would love to discipline her for that. If she's miserable and doesn't care about being there maybe she shouldn't be.
I can understand her being disappointed that you made an appointment with her and canceled it last minute. If she refused to help you period after explaining then she's not doing her job.
You were failing and did the right thing by asking for help. She's right though that asking for help after a major test/exam is too late to pull the mark up. To avoid academic penalty withdraw from the course.
I would have your parents approach the principal as she does need to be called to the carpet on her comments about not giving a shit about her students.

She wants you to change your attitude not your personality. She wants you to approach the relationship from a fresh perspective and trust her. She hasn't given you any solid reason not to trust her totally.
People regardless of being in a relationship or not are sometimes flirts by nature. This doesn't mean she's going to hook up with either of them. Trust me, if she wanted to hook up with other girls/guys she would have already and would be long gone.
She only WANTS you and it's evident. You need to trust her until she has given you a clear reason not to. You need to see it from her perspective as it would piss anyone off to have someone jealous and constantly questioning their loyalty.
How would you feel if she was like that to you? I gather you have been hurt before in other relationships by a cheater. You need to address your fears about this or you'll lose her.
Talk things out with her and explain what your fear is. You'll both address it and have this behind you hopefully. She loves your personality but despises your fearfulness and jealous take on the relationship.

What are some places online where they let teenagers write for magazines,websites, etc.? (link)
|
Try Young People's Press http://www.ypp.net They used to have sections written by youth 14-24 in the Toronto Star many years ago.
They now have about 7 e-zines you can write for on a wide range of topics. The editors are professional journalist who work with teens.
Try Ypress.org out as well. They have reporters your age who write a section for the Indianapolis Star. I don't believe you need to be a resident of either city to write articles for them.
You should also look into teenink.com It's a magazine that has been around for ages totally compiled by kids/teens with professional editors supervising.
More or less if you can write like a reporter rather than someone in high school without proper training at this stage you can write for any magazine or web site. You need to know how to write well and edit.
You should be studying grammar books and books on writing now. You should also approach your community paper (the one with all the fliers that comes weekly) and ask if you could job shadow one of their reporters or write your own stuff.
All of what I'm saying is from experience. I did at your age what you're trying to do now. Good luck with it.

ok a friend of mine is an extremely bad singer and i dont know how to tell her! She thinks she is awesome and wants everyone to hear her (which isnt a bad thing, but...) She like brags about it and shes bad! Hints?? (link)
|
Situations like this require brutal honesty. If you don't tell her the truth she will get hurt when she makes a fool of herself in front of everyone else.
Tell her with one other friend or someone she trusts that she's tone deaf. Explain that what she hears in her head is not what it sounds to others.
If she doesn't believe you I would approach your music teacher very quietly. Ask him/her to get her to try to hit certain notes privately.
Explain your situation that's she tone deaf, thinks she can sing and wants to do it in front of a large group of people who will laugh at her.
If the teacher helps you establish the truth with her it's worth it. If you need to tell her on your own tell her you would never lie and explain what being tone deaf is.
A good friend keeps another friend from falling on their butt. You need to go into this and be brutal or she won't understand.
One other idea that always works is getting a tape recorder and recording her singing something. Play it back and hopefully she'll notice it's not what she thought she sounds like.

So the guy I like is so overly nice to me, but I worry that hes just leading me on. He always tells me that Im amazing/incrdible, that I look good, that he misses me, etc. Weve even stayed up til 4 talking on the phone before. i hear that he flirts with other girls, but i dont actually see him doing it so idk if hes the same with all of them. How far will guys really lead you on? Is that what this ones doing? (link)
|
If he were leading you on he wouldn't be talking on the phone to you at 4 a.m. Trust me, if he wasn't interested in you he would be snoring in his bed at that hour. The compliments seem to be genuine.
See what unfolds because he seems to genuinely like you, Guys are guilty of looking at or flirting with other girls whether they are taken or not. You also shouldn't trust what other girls tell you because they're out to snag him too.

My boyfriend is a terrible kisser. We've only been dating a few days, so I'm not sure what I should do about this. Its not the little kisses that are bad, those are perfect. But when we start to makeout, he grinds my lip in between his teeth and it hurts so bad. He's even cut my lip a couple of times. I try to pull away but he's usually got his hand on the back of my head and I can't make many more excuses to stop kissing him.
I tried asking him to be a little gentler, but he obviously didn't get the point and he even seemed offended. Is there any discreet way to tell him he's really hurting me when he does this? (link)
|
Tell him that you don't mean to offend him but what he's doing hurts. Let him know he has bitten or cut your lip in the past. Let him know you're saying this so things improve or another girl won't have to do it.
Like the previous poster said show him what to do. Practice will make perfect. It could be mutually pleasurable too. I haven't met a guy yet who would turn down the chance to practice kissing with a girl.
Trust me, you need to be blunt with him or nothing will change. You're doing him a favor because other girls if you break up will inherit the problem. You also don't want to start resenting him over this either.

I work in a restaurant that is a mixture between fast food and sit down. You place your order at a register and we bring the food to your table when you're ready. It is a kid-friendly enviornment, we even have a kids eat free night. Does this warrant parents to allow their children to misbehave, make a mess on purpose, run around screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs, etc? There are some kids who will sit in their seats throwing food on the floor and the parents, rather than disciplining, will laugh at their children and make comments such as "Oh Johnny, how adorable", etc. It's ridiculous.
My job is to take orders, make food, and keep the dining room clean. Yes, I know it's inevitable for people to make messes, but it's ridiculous for parents to condone it, and LAUGH while it's being done.
Are there any polite things I can say to these people or is it one of those grin and bear it, vent to co-workers when they're gone types of situations? It's just really bugs me to have more food on the floor than what they ate (no exaggeration either).
If you're a parent who has allowed this, why? Why do you feel it's okay? I understand that it's my job, but there are so many other "behind-the-scene" things I do, that being forced to clean up a mess that could have been easily prevented by a parent saying "susie, please don't throw that on the floor". If you're a parent who will discipline their child rather than play along - Thanks!
I also don't mind when a child accidentally spills something - kids will be kids. I'm not here to complain (although I apologize because it probably sounds as if I am). I just want to know if there's anything I can do and WHY parents allow this misbehavior? (link)
|
Talk to your manager before you try the following. You need to know they approve of saying it first. Tell the guests "Excuse me but my manager has asked me to ask you to please keep your children quietly seated at the table and from throwing food on the floor or running around the restaurant. "
If they protest explain how this affects your ability to serve food and run a proper establishment. Call a manager over if need be and have him/her settle it.
You do have a right to ask anyone who is causing trouble in a restaurant to leave if they have been warned repeatedly and or are violent or verbally/physically abusive to staff. If their kids are destroying the restaurant and bothering other guests you can ask them to leave and try Chuckee Cheese down the street.

i have a dell windows xp but i was considering getting a mac, either their desktop model or their ibook im not sure yet. what are the advantages of a mac vs. windows. i have a lot of computer games in windows version. will i need to buy new ones for the mac version or is it all the same? (link)
|
I'm on an IMAC. One of the things you will love about the Macintosh is that it's plug and play. You just plug it in and away you go.
There's nothing at all that has to be loaded with the exception of IWORK '08 which contains Pages '08 which you use to write all your documents. It will detect your Internet connection instantly too.
You ran run both Windows and OSX or the new Leopard operating system simultaneously. You'll need to purchase Windows separately to do that.
There's no annoying pop ups or error messages to contend with either. In fact, Apple insists Mac's never get viruses and are hard as hell to hack.
It's also the computer of choice for creative types. You can use all kinds of design programs on it including photoshop, Garage Band will let you create music etc etc.
It's also easier to use all around an do multiple tasks at once without crippling your computer. a lot of people are switching from PC to Mac because of Vista's problems and having to downgrade to XP.
If I were you I would purchase a new IMAC for Christmas as you won't regret it. That's the other thing the monitor is HUGE usually 20 to 24 inches.
The computer comes in one box as everything you need is there and as I said earlier just needs to be plugged in.
Also, the best reason to buy a MAC is their 24/7 technical support line called Apple Care. yes, it's an additional $100 on top of the purchase price but good for 3 years. They'll help you with anything you need. You can't get that support on a PC. They'll also replace any hardware if needed free.
Are you in a large city like New York or Toronto? If so go to apple.com (where you can also read up on IMACS/Note Books) and get the directions to an Apple Store.
At the Apple Store they'll let you fool around as much as you like on the Ipods, IMACS, Note Books so you can see if you like them.

i havent been feeling all that good for about 3 weeks.
like last week especially. i could smell things, and they always smelt really really strong, especially my boyfriends colonge.
i threw up one morining. and the day after that i almost did.
my boobs hurt like crazy for the past 2 days. like barely touch them and i might scream.
and i know i just got a cold. but its only been 2 days. i dont think its related.
do u think something could be wrong with me or am i just overreacting.
-current meds. are birth conrtol and sometimes nexium.
any advice is appreciated.
thanks in advance. (link)

We aren't doctors so we really can't tell what if anything is wrong. All I do know is that if you are ill for more than 3 weeks something's not right.
I would see your family doctor or even visit an emergency room (yes it's an emergency) because being ill for 3 weeks straight is not normal.
They will tell you what you are dealing with and prescribe medication or treat you there. It's better to have overreacted than not acted on something that doesn't seem right with your health. Better safe than sorry!
However, I wouldn't worry or freak out until you know what the situation is.

I'm 16/f
I've only ever had two boyfriends, one for almost 5 months, and the one I'm dating now for 1.
Well, we've only been dating for one, but we've been best friends for a year. And we both knew we liked each other while we weren't dating.
Well I've never dated a virgin, including my boyfriend now, and he always teases me about how he's ready for some with me.
And I mean, I don't know if I have a problem with it. I mean, I love him, I've known him for a year.
I am afraid though, of what could happen. You know? I have a lot going for me and don't want to get pregnant. I've also only been to second base before, so the nether regions are a new thing.
I know we should work up to that, and I was fully intending to.
I guess, how do I show my affection in a way to show him that I'm willing to have sex, just not right this second? I think we should work our way there. (link)
|
If you are afraid of what might happen or could go wrong than don't do it. You aren't ready yet and I think you have grasped that. What do you tell him? Tell him that you really do love him but you just aren't ready for sex yet.
Like your last line reads tell him "I'm willing to have sex someday but not now. I think we should work our way there. "If he's a decent person and loves you he will understand your stance.
You can even tell him that neither of you are ready to be parents or for the consequences that could come from sex. Also, even you've known him for a year you're only 1 month in to the relationship. I would wait for that reason too.

is it bad to go out with someone else if you like the other guy better? this guy A asked me out and i was kind of pressured so i said yes to him even though i like this guy B better i like guy A but then i like guy B more but i said yes to the guy A when he asked me out and i made the relationship secret because of my parents but on the other hand so guy B wont know that im going out with guy A . guy A asked me if he could flirt with other girls and i said "yes you could" and i asked him if i could and he said yes too i let him flirt with other girls because i wanted to flirt with guy B is this all bad...? (link)

Tell the first person that the relationship isn't working for you. Let him know you really like him as a close friend. Tell him that you never wanted to hurt him but you're having feelings for him and someone else.
Tell him that because you don't want both of you to become badly hurt that you need out of the relationship. As far as guy B goes don't do anything yet.
Wait a while and see what your heart tells you. Trust it above all else. If a situation, relationship, person seems wrong for you it IS.
It's only bad if you let this continue to wage on as it has been. I don't care how angry your parents might get over you dating someone but tell them the truth.
They deserve that respect and they'll give you respect and him respect once they see you are doing all the right things. They want you safe and with someone who isn't a bad influence. When they see that he's a gentleman they'll lay off.
For now though take some time for yourself and figure out who you want to be with and the reasons why then act on it. Right now it seems as though you don't know what you really want and need.

My neice is mentally retarded. We just found out. My sister was hysterical. My mom was crying. My dad was very mad/sad. I felt nothing. Is this wrong? I love my neice and care about her, but i don't care if shes retarded. I'll still love her the same. I feel bad for the troubles she will have to go through but i'm not really sad. Also i am kinda pissed about how everyone else is so pissed off. Is this good or bad and why am i feeling this way? (link)

Parents will always take news like this ten times harder than anyone else will. They have a lot of right to. They expected to have "normal" child and perfect in every way. They're devastated because they had a lot of hopes and dreams for her.
It's exactly like grieving a loss. They're shocked, in denial, angry and will eventually accept this. They don't have enough information obviously about mental retardation yet to see that their daughter can have a great life still and contribute a lot of joy to there's and others. She can also achieve more than they may think in life.
You're not at the epicenter of the massive earth quake they must have felt for an analogy that will work here. You're ready to accept it and love her just as much as you had been.
Everyone handles news like this differently. you're able to take the bad news and try to make a positive from it. They're not at that point yet because it's their kid. They might even feel guilty that they "caused it"
What do you do? Listen more than talk at this point. Keep showing love towards everyone and learn together as a family. It may help to buy them books or locate a support group they and you can attend.
Your feelings are 100% normal and nothing you are or aren't feeling is wrong. We all handle distressing news differently.You can be a great help to everyone by continuing to demonstrate how beautiful this child really is and embrace her. That will bring comfort to her mother for sure.
If I were the mother I wouldn't worry about other people's reaction or treatment of her daughter or her parents. Anyone who would be so ignorant to react badly is are in a bloody sorry state themselves. There's no hope left for those who treat mentally disabled people badly.
You all need to make sure that this child doesn't start feeling awful (depending on age) about herself or constantly being discussed as though there's something wrong in front of her right now. That can do more damage to her than the term mentally retarded can at this point.

Sorry this is a little long.
I'm kinda wondering whether I am bisexual or not so I guess right now I'm rather sensetive to different situations, so I really want someone elses opinion on this.
My friend Julie and I have gotten really close this past couple of months. We weren't amazing friends last year but since school started in September we have talked alot more and hung out alot more.
In the morning we al hang out by our lockers and stand in a circle kind of. Usually i am across from Julie and lately I have noticedd her staring at me. I'm not really sure how to react to this and usually end up making some odd face and turning away. I can't tell if it's a stare that you give someone you like or just a stare.
Help? I don't really know if she lies me or if thats just me being extra sensetive to everything.
(link)

There could be many reasons why she may be looking at you. Not all of them have to do with sexual attraction. I know you know that already but just emphasizing it.
It's important that you do NOTHING for now at least. Why? if you talk to her about this and she's not bisexual you'll have problems. She might freak-out and tell everyone you are. If that happened people could bash you.
Also, at your age it's too early to know if you yourself are genuinely bisexual. Wait and see if you continue having feelings for both sexes or are just curious about her alone. Don't tell any friends or acquaintances you are struggling with this until you KNOW for sure.
If you see her staring again just look at her and ask "do I have something weird on me?" If she says no ask her if she is "admiring your outfit" or "I noticed you looking at me what's wrong?" or ask "What are you thinking about? The expression on your face really changed when looked at me just now."
Let her be the one to show/tell you that she's thinking of you as more than a friend here. Odds are that if she is she's too confused and scared to tell you. See what develops as you don't want to lose a close friendship over this if neither of you are gay/bisexual.

I'm a university student living away from home, in the city where my school is. I rely on the bus for transportation to and from my school, which is about a half hour bus ride away, up an escarpment, so we're not talking a small hill.
Thing is, the transit workers have been voting on going on strike, and so far it looks like they are.
We're getting into our last round of midterms, and soon is exams!
All these people are doing is screwing over the working poor and the 25000 students who attend the two major post-secondary institutions in the city.
I'm a little worried. What do I do if they go on strike? I won't be able to afford a taxi every day, and nobody I know drives.
Any ideas? I'm sort of panicking as to what's going to happen if I can't get to school. (link)
|
Did you ever pause to think the drivers, mechanics and maintenance people have to earn a living too? The majority of them earn about $30.00 an hour (bus drivers) and the work can be dangerous having to deal with all types of people morning/night.
They aren't doing this just to screw with students and poor people. Believe me none of them want to go on strike. This is just the only way left to deal with management and issues that are not being addressed.
What do you do? If you have friends in the classes let them know your situation and carpool. I'm sure there are people who will help and are doing the same thing.
Talk to your program coordinator and profs about the strike and your lack of a vehicle. They may be able to make special arrangements for students affected by the strike. This happened to my college a few years back.
Post a flier or notice on bulletin boards in your cafeteria asking to share a ride with people going to the campus. This might work. Just be careful to let people know who you are traveling with.
Ask around and see what solutions might exist. You may find an idea you didn't think of.

ok well i am dating this guy and he wanted to kiss me but i told him no because i didnt know how but i didnt tell him that i didnt know how because i didnt want to look stupid ok but then i thought if i dont kiss him then i well never learn but i am afraid that he wont like the way i kiss and break up with me plz sme one tell me what i am suposed to do!!!
xxxpoetxxx (link)
|
Tell him the truth. Let him know you are not experienced in this area. There's nothing to be ashamed about because we all have to learn by trial and error. This guy probably feels like shit thinking you don't like him or want to kiss him. Talk to him about it privately.
You will find he will understand and will be more than willing to practice it with you. The minute he knows you weren't ready and were scared is when things will get better. He's got a bad impression of you right now because he thinks you brushed him off. You need to fix that.
As far as technique the person below is on the money with letting him guide you and doing what he does.

The best thing to do is take the 2008 presidential race and take articles from multiple newspapers and notice their slant for/against particular candidates. You should ask your parents which newspapers are liberal versus conservative and have them help you pick articles showing that.
Some papers are really geared to Democrats and others republican. On TV CNN is for the Democrats and Fox News is for Republicans and they bash each other's views much like in the papers.
What I would do is select two papers with different views on the race, an online university paper (for the student view) and an alternative weekly paper. Put that last one into Google and add your city and you should find one.
Young people are at the age when they're close to voting and need whether they know it or not to decipher this now so they're educated later. Politics can be very interesting once you know the issues and candidates.
You REALLY need to watch the news and know about the world you live in and about your town or city. Hopefully this will help you see how headlines are slanted and stories are from multiple angles and biased by the reporter/editor.
Check out the editorial pages in a couple of newspapers as it will show you how to instantly recognize the differences in how each newspaper thinks/operates.
I read three newspapers a day plus online stories in college. Granted, it was for journalism but if you can read several stories a day say 5-10 you'll find your vocabulary and knowledge goes up as will your marks.
Also, ask your teacher for examples of what he/she wants. You should also ask if you could take several movie reviews from different papers to illustrate contrast because movies interest kids/teens/adults. Maybe they want something serious though. In that case, you can't go wrong with the 2008 Decomcrat/ Republican nomination race for president.

Okay, this is not one of those questions in which you need to know me to answer or that I have not previously resaerched.
What I need to figure out is how I can apply to stores which are currently being built in my residential area (Whytby/Oshawa, Ontario).
Any help is appreciated =] (link)

Major chains that are hiring for new stores will usually have a Web site where you can e-mail your resume or file an application. This is one way of landing a job at a store that is yet to open.
You also need to be watching those door to door papers that are nothing more than covers surrounding mounds of fliers. There's advertisements in them all the time for stores that are hiring for when they open.
You can also ask at different stores near the one that is opening who to call. They might even be taking resumes to hand off to that store or have a job for you.
In Durham Region check out http://durhamregion.com/which is a web site for the local paper that has their classifieds online.
You also need to watch for signs at the side of the road near construction of the store because they'll have them out there announcing job fairs and or who to e-mail to apply for a job.
If you cannot find this information out about a specific store call their head office. Ask for Human Resources and proceed to ask about hiring at the new store in Oshawa/Whitby.
Good luck! There's not a lot up your way but if new stores are opening you have a better shot of landing something decent than usual.

im supposed to see one of the plays that was cancelled saturday night! do you think the strike will be over by then or no? (link)

It's not likely to be resolved by then but you never know. Hold on to your tickets (especially if they were subscription seats). Once the strike is over they'll be announcing how to get a refund or exchanging old tickets for new ones.
You'll get to see your show or something else if it was a touring cat. Even if the strike is over by Saturday it doesn't mean performances would resume that night.
The theaters would need to hammer out contracts with actors, directors and promotional companies like Disney for example to extend runs to recoup losses. Bottom line, it's more complicated than stage hands walking off the job and coming back.
