what POSITIVE effects come from birthcontrol? i heard it lightens your period and helps you lose weight. can you take it even if your not/dont think you are pregnant?

The Pill does make you lose weight. But be careful, because the Pill is also supposed to increase your risks of acne.

Okay so the other night me and my boyfriend snuck out to meet at the park. We had sex but my quetsion is can I get pregnant from this... The first time we did it we used a condom and he came. Then the second time he came again in a new condom. The Thrid time he didnt come but he didnt use a condom. Is there enough sperm cells on his penis left from when he came in the other condoms enough to get me pregnant?? Im not sure.

Please be honest and I dont care tell me how stupid I am too for askin this.
Bye

You could be pregnant, but it's not really likely. Even if there was a little bit of sperm on his penis. The vagina is so acidic that it burns up a high percentage of the sperm that even enter in. Also, you might not be fertile at this time of the month, meaning that the egg might not be waiting at the end of the fallopian tube. But there IS a chance. I recommend seeing a gyno and perhaps going on the Pill. Just to be sure. And from this day forth, don't have unprotected sex. There's always that chance.


Hope I helped

I like this guy *dylan* and he used to (at least it seemed like it,) flirted with me last year and im at a different school this yr, and he keeps giving me the wrong email address, and my friend keeps telling him he better give me the right one and blah blah blah!! i don't know wut to do!!!!!!!!! please help!!!! :(





Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but it sounds like he doesn't like you anymore :(. Now that you've gone to a new school and the two of you can't hang out as much, so he lost interest. What you should do is to NOT keep asking for his email address. He'll think you're really clingy and obsessive and you'll totally make a fool of yourself. Especially don't have your friend keep telling him that "he better give you the right one." That'll make you look like even more of a fool. Give up on him! Look around. There are probably plenty of great guys at your new school

how do you use hex codes for something like an aim profile??

For AIM, you don't need to use a hex code. They already have plenty different colored backgrounds and texts.

ok so here's the deal, i'm fourteen years old, never been kissed, never had a boyfriend, i'm trying to find my way around in this world. i consider myself "emo" but i guess some other people don't think that. i sometimes get called a poser. i'm very extremely quiet in school and around people i don't know. sometimes i just feel invisible like nobody evens cares about me and i hate it. i don't cut or anything so i guess that's good. my life is not totally miserable, sometimes i exaggerate. i'm actually pretty blessed you could say (in some ways more than others) 2 years ago my parents got seperated. that i guess led to my over-eating. i weighed about 179 last year. thank god my weight did go down! but i'm still not thin. sometimes i think of myself as really fat when compared to other girls i'm not fat at all. now, about the boys. either they don't like me or they're afraid of me. it's really sad sometimes but i'm okay. i think i love this one boy. the thing is that we never even met. we talk online and he does live in a town near me but we've never met. i always talk to him and we talk about everything and he understands me so well. i can tell him things that i wouldn't dare tell anyone else, even my best friend! i need to meet him, but i'm way too shy, he says he's shy too but i'll be a nervous wreck!!! oh yeah and he's 17!!!! yeah right!!! like i'll ever be able to go out with him. i've never told him how i feel about him and he never said he liked me. but i really hope he does. well that is my life basically. can you please give me some advice on boys, shyness, depression, weight, and anything else that would help me? i'm so confused. thanks!

First to answer about being single...Hey, I don't want to sound mean or anything, but having never been kissed and having never had a boyfriend isn't as bad as the the problems that a lot of girls have. Not even close. I've seen 10-year-olds being raped by their own dads, girls who get sold by their parents in exchange for drugs, and in India, 12, 13, and 14 year old girls are forced to become prostitutes and live in brothels because they're so poor. There's no way you could possibly "be tryng to make your way around in this world" just because of that. In fact, it was only around the 1980s that 13-14 year old girls started getting boyfriends and kissing and stuff. I know it seems that everyone is getting a boyfriend and first kisses, etc., but you shouldn't rush yourself just to keep in tune with the rest of the teen world. There will be someone for you eventually, and it's probably not gonna happen when you're 14. And couples in the 8th and 9th grade don't last too long together anyway.

about depression...to tell you the truth, I highly doubt that you are depressed. I know how awful when you feel invisible, I've been there. If you know that your life isn't all miserable and you think you're blessed in some ways, then you are absolutely not depressed. One could not see these things when they're depressed.

about weight...here's a good idea. Instead of eating three square meals a day, eat several mini-meals. And keep it healthy. Stay away from junk food and carbohydrates. A good substitute for butter is SmartBalance, which tastes exactly like butter only is good for you. Even when you feel really sad, discipline yourself not to over eat.

last, to answer about that boy on the Internet...I highly doubt you are in love. You have never seen him or talked to him. You can develope a crush online, but you can't fall in love online. Also, 14 isn't old enough to fall in love. You aren't experienced enough in the world, even if you think you are. Being "emo" and being upset a lot isn't what makes you a worldy person. and do NOT try and meet him! I cannot over-emphasize how important that is. On the Internet, you can be whoever you want to be. He can say he lives in a town near you when he doesn't. He can say he's 17 when he's really 45. You can keep talking to him...just don't reveal anything about yourself. I heard about this 11-year-old who said she was 16, and met this guy online. He said he was 17 when he was really 58, and she told him too much about herself. The one day he came to her house while her parents were away and molested her.

Sorry this was long! Hope I helped! If you need anything, you can drop a word in my inbox!

i want to masterbate :)



....i'm a girl..so give me a few ways ;; i know like 1 ..actually i dont know how to do it :-/



PLZ HELP ((...descripitons would help...))

Well, you can:

1. Finger the area around your clitoris. That feels good.

2. Rub an ice cube near the vagina opening.

3. Pour icy water over your vagina (sounds weird, but it works for me well)

4. If you really feel horny, you can even try sticking things up you, like the end of a hairbrush (the PLASTIC end, mind you, NOT the bristly part) or the handle of a screwdriver. Refrigerating it beforehand for about 25 minutes feels even better. This only works for some people

5. Sit in the bath tub with your legs up, and aim the shower head at your clitoris

But masturbating isn't limited to just that. There are hundreds of ways to masturbate. People have come up with all sorts of things. Some people just put on sexy lingerie and imagine that they're having sex. You can experiment and see what works best for you. Masturbating is a great way to learn more about yourself and feel good.

How much of a chance is there of getting pregnant if a condom was used, and it was checked afterwards for no leaks and there wasnt any. What is the chance of getting pregnant, i know nothings 100% sure...


i'll rate 5's just for a decent answer

about a 95% chance you won't get pregnant. If you checked for leaks, I'm sure you're fine.

It's itchy because it's growing. I'm sorry to hear that they itch, but there's nothing you can do about it until they stop growing

my sister is such a fucking bitch, shesthe same age as me and she always finds a way to critisize me. about everything. literally. after it haappened. it makes me want to strangle her to death. i picture myself tying her to a chair and beating the shit outta her. i cant live with her anymore. she calls me fat, ugly, gay(im not), she makes fun of me because i have ADD(which i dont) and because i got a D on my report card ONCE! in my 1st year of jr. high. i cant stand her, i can hardley live with her anymore. help. 13 f

Awwww, I'm sorry! What I think you should do is just IGNORE her. I'm serious, it'll totally do the trick. Or, you can say "I'm sorry that you're so insecure that you have to diss your own sister." That would really demure her. If that doesn't help any, tell your parents.

You know how most girls like dating guys that are older than them. Some girls at my school like dating younger guys. And I was just wondering how many years apart do you think is 'too old' or 'too young' to date?

-13/f if your wondering

-Sorry I didn't know what to put this under.

A year apart isn't a big deal. Two years apart, maybe, but 3 years? No.

okay.. so me and my boyfriend went out for almost 3 years.. we broke up on september 23rd.. and like ive been upset ever since then.. like i just wanted to take a break .. and he got all mad.. and we broke up..., and he had 2 GIRLFRIENDS since then.. and we broke up on a friday and he went out with one girl the next.. i was so upset.. like maybe he didnt love me.. seems like it right? well he was my everything.. and i cant get him off my mind.. he was so sweet but now hes a total jerk.. i mean he use to cry over me how cute is that.. can you please give me some advice i need some real bad.. i know i didnt exactly have a question but can you tell me how i should take care of this and stop being so upset..!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I think he still likes you. I mean, if you've been going with him for almost 3 years, he can't just stop liking you all of a sudden. He probably went out with the other two girls just to make you jealous and is acting like a jerk because he's mad. When you said that you wanted a break, he might have taken that as "I want you out of my life." Just wait a while. Then, ask him why he's mad at you and tell him what you really meant. If he still acts like a jerk, then forget about him.

My boyfriend wants AIM+ on his computer and he has the latest version of AIM but when he went to www.download.com to get AIM+ it wouldn't work, He couldn't find anywhere to download it. So where can he get it and is it even still possible to get AIM+ or did they get rid of it because its illegal?

Just go to www.aim.com. It has everything related to AIM. Anything else that isn't on AIM that claims to be part of it is just a sham. And no, hun, AIM is not illegal. 70% of teens in the United States use it.

Does anyone know any really good books to read? I like to read all kinds of books. The last book i read was called "the lovely bones" it was an awsome book it was about a girl that got raped and murdered and the girl went to heaven and she was looking down on her family..I want to read books that teenagers would be interrested in!
15/female..if that helps with anything..
Thanks.

These are amongst my favorites:


The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (the original novel that the musical and umpteen movies were based off of; very suspenseful, romantic, and tragic. I love it)

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (Itâ??s great, even if youâ??re not a lord of the rings fan)

Witness by Karen Hesse

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorn

Nothing But The Truth by Avi

Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Juno and the Paycock by Sean Oâ??Casey

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (I know, it sounds boring. But itâ??s really good. Colorful parody of Victorian England)

The Pearl by Steinbeck

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

The Forestwife by Theresa Tomlinson

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

Dracula by Bram Stoker

If you are an aspiring writer, I highly recommend â??The Elements of Styleâ?? by William Strunk and E.B. White. It has everything you need to know about writing

Hope this helps!

Can anyone give me tips on how to write a great 5 paragraph essay? I'm not great with keeping things in order when I write. I need an explanination of a "topic setence with TRANSITION". thanks for your help!

Your first paragraph should give an introduction and some basic information about your topic. This paragraph is meant to attract the reader's attention.

Your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs should each discuss a different important detail regarding the subject. For example, say you were writing an essay on gray wolves. The 2nd paragraph could describe the way wolves live in a pack, the 3rd could describe the mating season of gray wolves, annd the 4th could be about how humans interact with wolves.

The conclusion shouldn't be more than 3 sentences.

A topic sentence with a transition is the first sentence in a paragraph. Generally, it's the first word of the sentence.

Here are some transitions that could be of any possible use?

Much like *other animal*, the gray wolf...

However...(only use this transition if the paragraph is going to contradict the previous one)

Aside from *previous paragraph's topic*, the gray wolf...

Moreover...

Also...

First...

you can think of much more!!!

Hope I helped! Good luck on your essay!

i have cryed myself to sleep for the past 2 years EVERY single night. i cry out of nowhere and get upset for ansolutely no reason at all (that i know of) no matter how hard i try to be i'm barely ever happy. i don't bother people about this because i don't even know what's going on so why tell them unless i know what it's about. i used to cut and i've counted 51 noticable scars from it but i've stopped my old habits for my boyfriend. i'm not one of those people who like to bother others about my life and my problems because i don't like having people constantly worry about me or think that somethings going on in my personal life. there are some people i can talk to about this but they would worry and i can't stand it because i dont want to be the person people are always worried about. but i cry every single night for no reason most of the time and i try so hard not to but i can't hold them back.. i don't understand myself anymore


You are sad for no reason, and it's getting a bit out of hand? It sounds like you have depression. Depression can be caused by many things. You can get some antidepressants, and that can certainly help. If you'd like to talk, you can reach my AIM most of the time: EvaPeronFreak256 or drop a word in my inbox

do revlon or maybelline eyeliner work better... i need a eyeliner that will stay on throughout the day and wont wear off.. thanks

Don't do Maybelline! It is always smudging and will never go on smoothly and falls off on your face as the day goes by. Revlon is way better. It looks better and stays on.
