do u think 50 dollars is too cheap to gv a bf for christmas weve been together for only 2 and a 1/2 months.....and also any idea wat to rite in d card???
No, I actually think its a bit too expensive for two and a half months. I would get him something for 25-30 dollars and the card. Save your money, because at that early stage in a relationship you really don't know how long he'll be around.

Hi ppl im 18 and i have thought about going down on a girl and muff her pussy ,i just want to knw what a pussy taste like
Please don't ever talk about girls like that ever again.
My face is usally really dry. I hate it, so I tried a mask, but that made it so its super greasy all the time, and it still is, even tho I did it two weeks ago. What can I do to make it less greasy, but not as dry as it used to be either. And what are some athome things you can do to make undereye circles go away. Is there anything you can do to make youre face look good and reduce pores. I would like to use things I already have in the house, and not going out and buying anything new. Thanks~~~!!
Cocoa Butter. Its the answer to both your problems. Just put a good layer of cocoa butter on your face at night. Put a very generous amount under your eyes where the problem areas are. Leave it like that under your eyes for about five minutes, than gently spread it to the rest of your face, trying not to press under your eyes too much. Still leave a pretty good layer of cocoa butter on there.
You will look like a greasy baboon before you go to bed, but when you wake up your skin will be pretty matte and the under-eye circles will improve significantly if not disappear completely =)
Some people say that applying cold cucumbers are cold spoons to your eyes helps, but it never has for me, but you can try it. Also, try not to touch the eye area too much, the skin there is verrryyy sensitive and bruises easily. That means no rubbing, too! So when applying concealer or foundation or what not, pat it on, don't rub it in.

i had a pimple forming on the side of my chin, and i popped it, and then picked it, and now it's like a sore, and it's REALLY noticable, and gross
how do i get rid of this? should i put medicine then a bandaid on it?
please help!
Put Neosporin on it at night, but no band aid. Don't use cover up or anything to hide it. It will make it worse. Don't do anything with it during the day, no Neosporin no nothing. (I have a horrible habit of popping my pimples and this method seems to work well for me. They heal in about three days.)

Does anyone think a 14 yr old having sex would be slutty? If she has been with this guy for a year, or even less than 12 months, but more than 4? and them knowing each other for 2 years?
This is not about me, I'm just wondering, and no offense to any 14 yr olds, it's just that some people call sluts now-a-days for wearing skirts, or too much eyeliner.
Anywho...you think it'd be better if she was 15? And she knew the consequences, and had was taking birth control, had condoms, etc.
Give me your opinions, thanks!
I wouldn't necessarily think it was slutty, I would think it would be stupid. I'm not into the whole "no sex until marriage" thing, but I do believe that the girl should be a woman in order to have sex, meaning she has to have the maturity, both mentally and physically, and also equipment to raise a child in case she gets pregnant.
A 14 year old female is still a girl. A 15 year old is still a girl. A 16 year old is still a girl. 17 is on the borderline of being a girl and a woman. A girl is still a child. And children should not be having sex in my opinion. Girls can play with boys, but in my opinion if you're 15 and younger you shouldn't be doing more than "fondling" each other.

I need help! Im 13 and all my freinds have gotten there periods but not me. My boobs are big and my sister and my mom got there periods while they were 11. Why am i the only left out one. I read a whole bunch of articals and i predict i will get mine in 6 months minimum. But please help in any way possible!
All of my female relatives got their periods at around the age of 12. I didn't get mine until my sixteenth birthday. And I was just like you. I felt soo left out, I even lied about having my period just to be "cool". Well, now that I have it, I suffer from major cramps (to the point where I'm lying in bed writhing in pain), and I constantly have to worry whether my pad or tampon is leaking and staining my jeans. Periods are not fun.
Often, when girls first get them, they feel like they became a woman (well, they really do, in a way) and they will kind of "show off" and be in your face about it and make you feel left out. I think everyone did it when they first got their periods. I know I did it, and you will probably too when you get your period.
You're at the age where most girls are first getting their periods, so you're very exposed the their "pride" about it. They tend to talk about periods more often, so the more you're exposed to them, the more you feel left out and the more you want your period. Most of these girls haven't had their periods for very long, and usually its by the next 6 months do they begin to hate their periods, and stop glory-fying it.
You're not missing out on anything. You will have you period for years to come, so enjoy the days when you don't have it.

Well, people complain about their periods for many reasons. I complain about mine, as I stated above, because I get horrible stomach cramps. I'm anemic (meaning I don't have enough iron in my blood, due to my period.) I have to go to the bathroom every two hours to change pads/tampons. And once it leaked and I ruined my jeans and it was one of my most embarrassing moments of my life. I had to miss several fun social events (sleepovers, parties, bat mitzvahs) due to my period. There's really a lot to complain about.
I had had an eating disorder on and off for 7 years. Right now i am 5'6 and 105 and im 18 and i just turned 18. i really to lose weight.. maybe only like 5lbs. I know from my height and weight, i sound thin, but i do have a couple pounds i could lose. Im not one of those people who thinks theyre enormous when they aren't, but i really want to lose weight. What do you guys think?
Why not instead of trying to lose weight, just try to tone your body a little. Stop weighing yourself, instead, look at your body in the mirror. Also remember that you are your own worst critic.

what are some good cakes i can try to make?
MOCHA PUDDING CAKE
This isn't exactly your average pretty cake, its pretty ugly looking, but its the most delicious thing ever! Plus its very easy to make and there's no icing involved. The middle turns out to be a syrup, not really a pudding.

From a guy's perspective, what would you want for your 1 year anniversary? Nothing sexual. My boyfriend is going to buy me a $200-$300 necklace. I'm afraid I won't be able to measure up with gifts. I was thinking of making a scrapbook but we don't have much pictures together, so i wouldn't know how to fill up the pages. i would only have about 5 weeks to put it together. is there anything else i could make or buy? i've made him a scarf and a stuffed animal bear by hand before. I was thinking of scrapbook and a striped scarf. But, what else? And guys, would you actually want those two things ? =/ I need some other ideas.. something.. meaningful, you know? No cologne or watch things.. He's not that type of guy. So I'm kinda at a loss with ideas. He's into hip hop and MMA.
Tickets to a concert? For two? Maybe go out to a very nice restaurant and you pay. Or a gift basket with some of his favorite cd's (or ones you think he might like), and I'm not sure what MMA is, but I looked it up and its martial arts related, so if that's right why not get him some martial arts stuff?

Okay so I like this guy & I just can't picture him masturbating. Its a turn on to me.. but he is pretty shy and he's polite but idk do you think he does? He is 16/m
Yes, even though I've never met him, I bet he does. Ninety-five percent of guys masturbate. (And seventy-one percent of women). I believe the numbers are a bit higher because not everyone admits that they masturbate.

I might get this bed set.
http://store.delias.com/browse.do?categoryKey=roomwares.room.heart&splashTrack=room
I'd like to hear your opinions on it. And if I got it what color should I paint my room? On the picture it has green but I'd rather paint it a diffrent color. Any ideas?
Thanks
I like it. Maybe not so much the blue polka dots, but that's because I don't like that shade of blue very much.
I would paint the walls either a light pink, light blue, or a light green, or light orange. Just pick your favorite color, OR you can try painting each wall a different color. Just make sure the colors are very light!!! You don't want it to be overpowering.

If you were to dress up for, let's say, a dinner, a school dinner, what would you wear?
Nice jeans, nice top (not a sweat shirt or anything, but nothing overly fancy). Maybe straighten/curl your hair. I would wear nice shoes, too, again, not too fancy but not casual either; right in between.

Next semester my schedule is full but I don't whether I should take History or Art. Art is something I really enjoy art and some of my close friends are in that course but I think History is useful, particularly for Uni. For practice writing essays and stuff.
I can't decide. Some opinions would be helpful.
Unless you would like to be an artist, I would take history. Sure, its not very exciting, but most colleges prefer to see history instead of art. Also, the more you study history, the better you will understand the world today.

Ok, well for the past 3 months now I've been getting my period before I'm supposed to, and I'm on birth control. It regulated my cycle and now it's way crazy. The first time it happened an exact week before I was supposed to get my period (I'm supposed to get it the last week of every month.) And it lasted like almost 2 weeks, like the week before I was supposed to and the week I was supposed to. And whenever I would change my tampon there would only be blood on one side of the tampon, so I thought maybe it was just doing it once, so the next with the next tampon, I went to the bathroom and there was some blood on my underwear so when I pulled the tampon out it was yet again only bloody on one side. The second month it did the same. Then this month I got it the first week of the month. I have barely ever cramped with my periods but these past three have been pretty bad, especially the one from this month, it was soo painful. I have no idea what's going on? I mean, has this happened to anyone else before? There's a little bit of blood on the top then it's just bloody on one side... 3 months..?
Pleasee help. I understand this is long and U thank those of you who take the time to read it all :]
How long have you been taking birth control? If its three months or less, your body is still trying to adjust to the high amount of hormones your are ingesting. If by the fourth month your period is still wacko, go see the doctor that prescribed you the birth control.
As for the tampon being bloody on only one side, that could be because of the position you sit in/stand in/lay in. It happens to me all the time, and it never really worried me much, but if it worries you definitely mention it to your doctor.

im a 14yr old grl in 10th grade and i have a bf, but we are not sexually active cuz im just not ready. (he's 16) but i do masturbate. however, last nite my bf came in and snuk upstairs w/out me knowin he was ther. and i was touching myself when he walked in. im not sure if he knew wat was goin on but i majorly jumped and was like shaking for a half hour i was so embarrassed.
we hung ouut and watched movies for awhile and then when he got into his car to go home he rolled down the window and was like, "bye babe, ill be thinking of you tonite too." so idk how to deal w/ this. im totally mortified!!
Well, first of all, in my honest opinion, that was very disrespectful of your boyfriend. He should have knocked first before going into your room. BUT, he was turned on by it, which in my opinion is a lot better than being turned off.
Also, to put it into perspective, the majority of people masturbate. It is not unheard of that girls touch themselves, too. Also, if you do ever become sexually active with him (after you are put on birth control and buy lots of condoms, of course!), chances are you will be a lot more comfortable with him.
I would just go on as if it never happened. If he mentions it again and it makes you uncomfortable, casually tell him that it was very embarrassing for you and you would rather not talk about it. If he's a good guy he won't ever mention it again.

is it okay to masturbate? sometimes i feel really self consious about it afterward...im 16/f
Yes, its perfectly normal. For girls, it seems to be a more taboo subject than it is for boys, so most girls don't admit they masturbate, but really 90% of them do.
Masturbating is healthy, it relieves stress, and relieves sexual tension. It helps you explore your body so you know what is sexually satisfying for you and can even make you a better sexual partner.
Don't be ashamed to do it, as long as it isn't taking over your life you have nothing to worry about!

ok im 20/f ... since, well 10 oclock this morning when i woke up until ... well ... now(midnight) ... i have not stopped being lightheaded. I don't know what cuased it It isn't cuz i didn't eat, cuz i did. I ate breakfast...still lightheaded. I went to work and was lightheaded all 9 hours. ate lunch, dinner, still lightheaded. What could be causing it and how can i make it stop?
You could be dehydrated. Try drinking water (not juice or milk or whatever), and see if that helps. It could be a health problem like anemia, but I wouldn't know because I'm not a doctor. I would see one if the water doesn't help. Also, did you get enough sleep today? if you didn't, that could be it.

hey guys!
ok well i have a 13 year old cousin. I have NO IDEA what to get her for Christmas..
She is 5'4 and a readhead, and shes fairly popular.-i dunno if that will help or not..-
I know she likes Abercrombie and Hollister, but i dont want to buy her stuff from there.
What should i get her??
She plays volleyball, but it isnt something she is going to persue. She has a horse if that helps.
Anything will be awesome!
I really dont want to get her a picture frame or something like that cuz i gave her that last year, andim not an art-sy person..
Thanks for anyone who helps!!
~Steph
Get her a horse lead rope that is in her favorite color. Don't get a halter because there's sooo many sizes to choose from and chances are you will choose the wrong size.
Otherwise, nightlights, lotions, make up, hair stuff (like a basket with shampoo, conditioner, gel, mouse, hairspray, hair ties, and a hairbrush) work well. Jewelry or a gift card to her favorite store. Stuff like that.

I have severe nose descongestion since forever. I used this nasal spray containing HCL or w/e and some doctor told me not to use it any longer as it is harmful but I cannot breathe without it when I am trying to sleep. Now I am sick and I have to keep waking up every 3 hours to spray some more of the stuff into my nostrils even though it is not a good idea to use it for more than 3 days as it says behind the bottle. I don't even know what that means. Does anyone have a similar problem and a solution to nasal decongestion?
This is what I use, and it works just as well. You take a carrot, grate it until it its complete mush, and then drop some into a paper towel, and squeeze it to get the juice out. Use the carrot juice for your nose. Its easiest to pour the liquid into your nose with a spoon... 2-3 drops should do, just make sure they really go through into your nose, if that makes sense.
Bottled carrot juice doesn't seem to be as efficient.
