ok im j/w is constantly biting your lips until they bleed then biting them more or always pickiking at scabs until they;re completley off a bad habbit like cutting? i know itz a bad habbit, but is it ANYTHING likr cutting!
Thanks a bunch! :D
~*jemmy*~ ((ps i DO NOT cut))

For most people, it's nothing like cutting. It's a way to release nervous tension. It's much more like biting your nails. I used to do the same thing (now I have a line of scars on my lip). I've stopped, but now I play with my tongue ring almost constantly.

Im a fifteen-year-old female and I use the finishing touch on my mustache, but it doesnt cut the hair close enough,and it grows back really fast the next day, i dont wanna shave and im allergic to nair and other depilatories. I was wondering..would getting it waxed be almost the same thing? Will it grow back like my mustache does now or will it be all nasty n stuff? And if i do get it waxed does it have to be real long, cuz if it does that will be real nasty! Thanks in advance!!

Try going to a salon and getting a consultation. They should be happy to answer all your questions, and are more likely to know what they are talking about.

My sister is making an appointment for me to get birth control pills and she says they have to give me an exam and look at my vagina and put something inside of it but someone told me they dont need to do that unless ive ever been sexually active or if ive ever had sex. Do they have to do an exam?? (ive never been sexually active in any way)! If they have to give me an exam someone please tell me what tehy do?? Im freaking out! I dont want people seeing any private parts of mine! Thanks!

If you've never had sex or used a tampon, they won't give you a PAP smear (which is what your sister was talking about when she said they "put something inside." They may not give you an exam at all, because they don't like to break the hymen.

If they do an exam, don't feel too bad about the doctor seeing you. Remember, this is what they do all day, every day.

If you get an exam, they'll normally smush on your breasts to make sure everything is normal. They use a device that looks like two spoons facing each other a little ways inside your vagina to give themselves some more room to work. Then they use what looks like a long Q-tip to get a PAP smear. That part feels a little crampy. After they remove the "spoons," they use one or two fingers to feel inside your vagina, while they press on your stomach with their other hand. They are simply checking to make sure everything is normal. And that should be the end of it!

I hope that helped.

My boyfriend and I had intercourse two Saturdays ago. I'm due to get my period the begining of next week. Normally, by now I'd be showing my normal signs of PMS such as lower back ache, tender breasts, bloating, excessive eating, and cramping. The only thing that I'm getting is slight lower back pains, slightly tender breasts (but hardly), and the excessive eating. We did use protection, but as you may know, condoms are not 100%. Could it be possible that I am pregnant? Or do you think it's a little too soon to tell? I should be getting my period between the 23rd-25th. 17/f. And for the mothers on this site, when you didn't know you were pregnant, before you got your period, did you show your normal signs of PMS? Thank you.

When I got pregnant I showed no signs of PMS before my period, like I usually would. While it is very unlikely that you are pregnant, it is possible. Pregnancy tests tell you the soonest that you can get an accurate result, I think that it's a few days after you miss your period. If everything seemed normal about the condom after sex, and the condom wasn't old, and wasn't kept in a hot place (like a pocket or a car), you should be fine.

My mom has a yeast infection, a very severe one ((yeah,,ew)), and we cant afford medicine, and since my dad got laid off we dont have insurance and theres no way we can afford anything over like 20 dollars..believe it or not, so please dont tell me to buy anything more than that amount. I feel really bad because shes crying it hurts her so much, and i am kinda uncomfotable with this weird situation. She developed a tolerance to any kind of pill (advil tylenol whatever) becasue of a drug addiction, and thats not really my ?. My question is, where can i find some specific sites with home remedys to cure this painful infection or at least make her feel better, shes my mom and i lover her and the last thing i want her to be in is pain. Thanks.. (if youre going to be mean please don't asnwer)

I got a yeast infection 3 day cure at CVS pharmacy (the CVS brand), for $15. Yeast infection remedies are available over the counter, so check some stores (Wal-mart, CVS, Walgreens) for their store brand yeast infection cures.

well earlier i got in a fight with somone.they didnt like me beccuz im somewhat an uncool person. and i was in their seat becuz i was hanging out with that persons friends. well he took it real personal and sed he owuld beat me up if i didnt move.i didnt like that and i told him go away. but he didnt.

they then slapped me across the face but i did nothing.mainly becuz i know many martial art forms.and am a black belt in 3 of them.

i tried to avoid the fight and i moved cussing him out while doing it.but he hit me again and threw his hands around my neck choking me.i quickly got out of it and flipped him flat on his ass.

he went to throw another puch at me and i grabbed his arm twisting it and throwing him to the ground and putting him in a submission. i told him to please back down i did not want to hurt him( i only flipped him doing minor damage.i didnt want to hurt him).

he refused to be made a tool. i lauged at his arrogance and began toying with him. he went throw a punch at me and i flipped him again straight onto the gournd but he wouldnt take the hint he oculdnt get me.

he quickly grabbed a chair(the only reason the fight wasnt stoppped is because the teacher was leaving to pick up her sick son and calling in a sub who would ocme shortly).

he trhew the chair at me which i didnt block due to the force of it and it hit my leg. i got mad and when he came to me. i dropped my guard to see the damage he did to my leg. he grabbed my arm and put it behind my bak and pushedup really ahrd. so i elbowed him and made his nose bleed.i was very made now, so when he threw the punch.this time i didnt throw him to the ground, i twisted his arm upwards and then broke it and flipped him to the groudn.


he got back up and started screaming.he went kick me nearly hitting me..i grabbed his leg and moved into his stomach and punched him right in the stomahc, knocking him to the ground again and knocking the wind out of him.i then again asked him to please give up.

he got a pen and trid using it like a knife against me. when he went to hit me with his good arm(the right one.the only one functional now) i quickly inverted it and broke that too.

now im in deep trouble and might get sued. im also probably going to get taken out of school and i severely regret disabling this kid.

did i do something wrong by hurting him so, when he was a threat to my life at certain pionts? hes arragant because he 'supposedly' according to all the talk right before as they were telling me to move said 'he never lost a fight' and he frequently gets in them from what ive seen. he also tried chocking me, breaking my leg, throwing a chair at me, and tried to give me a deep wound with a pen.

i feel sorry for waht i did to him and ifeel by disabling him, i make a wrong choice.

please help

If you can get other people to support you, and agree with you that it was self-defense, you should be okay. I think that you were right. Try not to tell anyone if you acted out of anger; that you were truly defending your person. You should be fine.

i have begged and begged but mom will not let me get my tongue peirced! she says im too young to make that kind of choice.im 13! one of my family members got it done when she was 11 and my mom approves of it! i really want this done but i dont know were to go that will let u with out your parents permission and one of my friends said to do it my self which i thought about but then another friend said that if you hit the wrong spot it can kill but still this is a choice.what should i do?

If you find a place that will do it without parent's permission, you'll probably end up with an infected tongue. Also, you can do some pretty bad damage doing it yourself. I think you might be stuck waiting this one out.

I'm an aspiring artist who is in the market for a solid-body electric guitar. I need suggestions on guitar manufacturers and companies. And opinions on the following: Fender, Gibson, Squire, Washburn, Epiphone, Ibenez, and Dean. Any advice from people who own/have owned any of these guitars is appreciated. 5's for all even if you're being a jerk.

I have a Fender. It's very nice, but I think I paid a lot just for the brand name.

Hey. I'm in 8th grade.
There's this guy I kind of like. I got to know him this year, and he's been pretty nice. We've had our ups and downs, however. For example, he started ignoring me a couple of months ago for no reason whatsoever. Yesterday, he started being nice again though, and he emailed me. Well today I got another email from him, in which he asked me out to prom. The thing is, he's asked out around 4 or 5 other girls, who are going with other people or by themselves. The result is that I don't feel like I'm his first choice, because I'm not.
My question is, should I say yes?
Thanks a lot.

If you really want to go with someone, I guess you could go with him. I wouldn't, since no one likes to be someone's last resort.

I have officially met the love of my life.He treats me better than anyone ive ever known. he says he wants to take care of me for the rest of my life, and hes proven that in many ways. there are only two problems: 1. he has a girl living with him- they used to go out, but now theyre just sharing living quarters.hes moving soon, and shes not coming with.2.(the main issue, at hand)there is about 15 or 16 years between us, and i should probably mention that i am defintely not 18. its so hard to keep this a secret and lie to everyone around me, i hate it, but i love him so much. PLEASE give me an honest opinion on how you, personally would handle my situation. thanx for any advice you can give.

I know that age is just a number, but I think when someone is as young as you, it's a pretty important number. Consider where you are both going in your lives. See if your life plans really work out together. Consider school, work, owning a home, having children, and anything else you can think of. Sit down with him and really talk about where you are both going in life. If everything works out, and you are both truly happy then stick with it.

I would be slightly suspicious of him living with another girl. I've never known a guy that can live with a girl (especially one he's had a relationship with) and truly stay faithful to the girl he's with. However, your guy might be different.

Yes, it is possible to make it work. However, I've never seen anyone make it work.

i am so upset righyt now. i told my friend some really personal things about my life. she promised she wouldnt tell anyone. it was mostly about this guy that i liked a lot. a real lot. we were firghtin the ohter day and she told him all my personal things and now she wants me to forgive her. i dont think i should because she doesnt deserve it. it was really personal and it wasnt his business. what should i do?

I wouldn't be friends with her anymore. I had a friend who used to do the same thing to me. I'd forgive and then she'd just do it again. Stupidly, I kept forgiving her over and over, and it just kept happening. This last time, she got my husband kicked out of his apartment and lost his job. I've said goodbye to her, and if your stuff your friend told was really personal, you might want to do the same.

Hi my girlfriend recently told me she was pregnant and that the baby was concieved before we met i love this girl and was looking for any advice on not being the biological father and also looking after a small child any input from people who have experienced this and been through it would be very helpful thankyou in advance.

Be careful about making any "father" commitments too quickly. Take the rest of her pregnancy deciding what you really want to do. However, if you are a loving father, it won't really matter that you're not the biological father. Be prepared to deal with the biological father, since he does have rights to the baby, and he can choose to enforce those rights any time from birth sometimes until the child's 18th birthday.

As far as looking after a small child, I got a good tip from my mom. Read everything you can about parenting, then forget it. Educate yourself and then play it by ear. It can work. I had a baby before I married my husband, and he is an excellent, wonderful father, and the baby loves him.

ok i have a friend who has this b/f. HE and she have been going out for 5 months at the most and he has already popped the question... She doesnt' know what to do... She is barely graduationg this year and he is still a junior. She fills presherd and stuff and he has already been talking about having kids with her... she is scared and she even feels like not coming to school because hes here... what should she do? She doesn't want to hurt him though so please give good advice i rate high.....
thank you
some-1-whocares...

If she doesn't want to marry him, she should really tell him. If he loves her, he'll understand. If she's sure she likes him, maybe they could get promise rings together. She needs to tell him that she's just not quite ready yet, and she should have some reasons why to help him understand.

How long does it take for a symtom of an STD to show up? I just gave my boyfriend a blow job last night for the first time and now i have a sore in my mouth. Could it be an STD and should i be worried? Thanks so much.

It could be an STD. I don't know how long the symptoms take to show up. I guess that it would vary depending on the STD. However, you can get several genital STDs in your mouth.

ok, after everytime i masterbate, i feel really, really guilty...i wounder what my girlfriend would say if she had found out, i feel like it is a complete sin, and after everytime i do that, i feel that God punishes me, but he doesnt seem to punish other people i know do it... what should i think? is it ok, or should i try to stop?? HELP!!

It's a natural part of being male. It causes certain chemical reactions in your body that keep you happier and healthier. Try not to feel too bad about it, because, as long as you aren't doing it 20 times a day, it is a perfectly natural thing.

[view]


are men (guys) supposed to masterbate?

Most guys do. I only know one guy that doesn't. It's just a natural guy thing.

is there anything that helps minimize strech marks?

Try Vitamin E lotion with aloe. Also, drink lots of water. Water will help your current stretch marks just a little, but it will really help prevent stretch marks in the future.

first off im a really good christian.. i love going to church and worshiping and stuff. i love sharing my faith with people. Im baptist raised. Im 14 years old and im a male.
So it all started a long time ago. i dont know when or where or with who exactly but it was like when i was in 5th grade. im in 8th now. but last year in the 7th grade i met the guy.. and we become really good friends. but i started having weird feelings for him that i wasnt sure about. at first i didnt know what it was. as the year went on, the feelings only continued to grow. then i realized what it was... i liked him more than a friend. but it couldnt be, not to me... its totally against my religion, against everything ive been thought by my family. the year ended.. and i was so confused. that summer i started going over to a friends house like everyday. and while in his neighborhood he introduced me to a couple of people there. and the moment i met one of them, hes was going into the 7th grade then, (a year younger than me) i knew i was hooked. i went back everyday that i could to my friends to see him. by this time i was totally giving into my feelings. i couldnt help it. all my life i was told that homosexuals made a choice to be that way. and in the bible it says that homosexualy will not be welcome into the kingdom of heaven. but i didnt make a choice.. it was just liek the feeling when you like someone... well i liked him a lot. the more i got to knnow him the more i liked him. i knew it was wrong, but i didnt care. and then i started looking at guys (mostly younger than me) and thinking they were cute.. and thinking perverted thoughts and stuff. which is a sin. (its lust) and every wednesday at churhc when we would be worshiping i would ignore the calling of god tellimg me that i was wrong, that i had to change. well.. a couple months ago i was fed up with it. i had to change, i prayed about it and it really has gone down a little bit. im not as obsessed as i used to be. but its still there. basically im looking for your view. 2 other pepple know and they are really big helps. really this is just for the christians cuz if you tell me that im wrong in thinking gays are going to hell, im gonna ignore it. because mo matter who right you think you are, your wrong. just tell me what you think.

I'm not a Christian any more, but I was a Baptist until I was 16. I don't remember anywhere in the Bible where it says "Gays go to hell." I do believe that the Bible calls homosexuality a sin, though. Find as many supportive people as you can. I have always found that pastors are great help in situations like these. It's possible that it's just a phase that you have to work through.

I appreciate your situation, and I would never tell anyone to change their beliefs. However, as a side note, if you want someone to be supportive of your beliefs and situation, saying things like "no matter how right you think you are, you're wrong" is rude and closed minded. You know, treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. I wish you luck with your situation, and I hope everything works out for you.
