my life has been crazy! right now I want some relaxing....! nah,I JUSTWANTTOHAVESOMEFUN (link)

All I know is that when my husband was out alone with one or some of our kids, he was a babe magnet, big time. If I were on the other side of a room, they would move in!

Get out and about with your son!


I am going into 11th grade, meaning I am 15 and I am a girl. I am kind of a worry wart. That I won't ever find a job I like, that I'll be doing a dumb job and will hate the rest of my life, that I won't make enough money to afford a house. See :/ These are the things I think about when I start thinking about a future. I love design, I love making things and painting things, I'm not a fan of drawing very much, I also love music, I make some clothing, I love kids, I like writing, whether or not I'm good at it, who know, I write for myself mostly. One thing I am so passionate about, though, is travel. I love to travel. I want to see the world. So, can you please name some jobs where I can travel and see the world's beauty? Thank you! (link)
The seemingly good career choices in the travel industries, flight attendant, cruise director, etc. are really not very good choices. Your time is so limitied you will not get to see much ofo any place you go.

I have a ffriend who at one point in her life was a singer in a well known group that traveled all over the world. Only, all she got to see were the back stage and kitchen entrances to theaters which could have been anyplace or no place.

The one travel job that can have yoou seeing a lot is as a tour guide. You take small groups (like a mini-van) on a our of - something! Basically the group pays for your travel, with a little profit.

The largest area is ordinary business that does a great deal of work in other countries.

If you aren't doing so already, take language classes!! We AMericans are so mono-lingual! ANd look for a college htat encourages study aroad, or, the University of Pittsburh offers a Semester at Sea. You take classes as usual on a ship that stops in ports where you can visit and enhance your learning. (Yes, some people reguard it as a party at sea and they are throwing away a huge opportunity.) Those credits can transfer anywhere.


i heard that if you drink 8 cups of water a day then it helps your skin and makes you healithier. but is there a certain measurment? is it just 8 cups? like actual cups? or what? (link)
It means 8 measuring cups.



20F.

So before things start getting all hot and heavy with a guy, I'd thought I'd be nice and warn them that I'm a virgin. Well ..no guy ever believes me! They're all like ..yeah right your lying! I don't believe that one bit.

It's not like I come off as a slut, I carry myself well but I think it's because how I look. I'm a pretty girl, I know guys are interested in me which probably doesn't do me well. I don't know how to feel about this, should I be pissed that no guy believes I'm a virgin? I don't know what to do about the situation I guess. (link)
I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that if they don't believe you, put any hot and heavy activities are on hold. Some guy who does not believe you, does not know you well enough to be with you. It also tells you that they have a fairly low opinion of you.

I'd say you have a pretty good jerk test working for you! Keep your standards high.


im 14/f and im going into 9th grade. i am embarrassed to go "number 2" in the bathroom. i know everyone does it and i shouldn't be embarrassed, but i can't help it. sometimes there are girls who just stand in the bathroom and talk so it's embarrassing. i asked my mom and she didn't really know what to say. what do i do? i guess you could say i'm regular haha so i have to go every morning :/ and people notice so ugh it's just embarrasing and annoying. sometimes i hold it all day and i know that's probably bad and then i feel bad about it. please be nice thank you for the answers :) (link)

If you know that people have noticed how regular you are, it is because something has been said to you. So, come up with a "smart" comeback. Noto nasty - just funny.

"You noticed how often I go #2? Girl, you've got to get a life!"


i met this guy online
he lives 15 min away and wants to hang out
i know he's real cause i video chatted with him
but i think all he wants to do is hook up (actually, i know. he straight out told me he wants to.)
im 18 years old, never been kissed (i know, pathetic)(and he doesnt know about this, i was too embarrassed to tell him)
hes not a virgin
idk what to do!
should i take a risk and hang out with him(he could end up being my first kiss! but i feel like he wants to do more...)? am i stupid for even thinking about doing this? and he keeps telling me im beautiful and stuff.

idk what to do! :| (link)
Deep down you know that you do not want to end up being used. You don't want your first kiss to be with some guy who could turn out to be a bad, embarassing memory.

He has made his agenda clear. It doesn't sound like your agenda.

There is nothing pathetic about not having had a kiss at any age. Don't start feeling like this kiss or making out or having sex is something you have to hurry up and "get it over". What a sad introduction to something that should be wonderful. You deserve to be charished, not to be somebody's Friday night hookup.


i've been with my boyfriend for awhile now. our relationship hasnt always been easy but we always talk and work things out.i love him more than anything and id take a bullet for him any day of the week.people always say that theres no way we can be together through high school and college because people change which i get.is it possible that we could actually last through college and get married? (link)
My daughter married her high school sweetheart two years ago, and they were 1500 miles apart for most of their college years. Not only was there mutual attracton, they had a lot of shared values.

So, yes, it can happen, but it doesn't happen for most people. More than changing we grow a great deal in our early adult years, and we don't always grow in the same directions.

For now, play it as it lays. You don't need to be making future plans just now.


Can you get in the ocean with you period? (link)

Yes.

Tampons.


Okay so I have beautiful blonde hair with natural highlights (It's dirty blonde if that helps) And I was adding some highlights and LITTLE brown streaks but my Aunty gave my Mom bleach for the highlights and a reddy brown that in blonde hair turns STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RED. So I was fully ticked cause I looked like Starwberry shortcake gone WRONG on CANADA DAY. IT WAS HORRRIBLE. So we used my moms grey hair stuff (brown coloured) to cover it. It looked prety then because it was darky brown with dark not to noticable red highlights in some parts. But...here's where the problem comes in.....MY ROOTS ARE COMING IN BLONDE!!!!! I need my hair dyed to match my natural colour BUT I dont know how to do that. Gettin my hair dirty blonde natural streaks sounds hard when my hair is dark brown :/ How do I fix this preferably without bleach but if I really HAVE to then fine whatever. How do I fix it before school starts!!!! (link)
Call around to a few salons and ask who they would suggest for a color repair expert. Unless you life in a really big city you should hear a few names over and over again.

Make an appointment, pay the money.


hi!
my boyfriend said that he'd like for me to make him an omelet for breakfast. omelets usually have cheese. but he hates cheese! he likes meat, sausage and bacon and stuff, but what could i use as a substitute for cheese in the omelet? (link)

While we're at it.... why isn't he making his own omlet, or making one for you? Or, why don't you cook one together?


Several months ago our 14 year old nephew threatened to kill his 12 year old sister. He was sent to a mental hospital for 2 weeks of mental evaluations. He has been diagnosed with a slew of mental disorders and is on the edge. To keep his sister safe he has been living with his grandparents who have voiced concern for their safety. This is my husbands parents and he wants us to go visit them this August. We have two daughters 13 and 5. I have voiced concern to him that I don't want to put our girls in danger and that I don't want to go. He says he's been talking to his parents and they say our nephew is getting better, but I still don't want to take any chances. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings, but this could turn out badly if one of my daughters sets him off. I told him that we could stay at a hotel, but he said that would insult them. I don't know what to do.

Do not take children into this situation, at least not until you've had time and opportunity to assess this yourself.


What would you say are the three biggest mistakes you made in college your freshman year? (link)
1. I didn't treat college like a job. A job takes about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Including class time, one should spend 40 hours a week on one's studies - reparing for class, improving you class notes after class, reading assigned materials and related materials, etc.

2. I didn't participate enough in classes. You want your prof to kow that you are there and that you are trying. Asking questions gives ou the information you need. Sit as far front as you can.

3. I didn't try enoough new things - clubs, activities, people. I found a niche and stopped looking.

Good question!


am going to start college in the fall and am going to dorm there. i was wondering if i can go and visit my family every day, will they let me?. am going to be in umass lowell. (link)

If by "they" you mean the college, not your family, thy won't care at all.

But I would strongly suggst that you do not do that, at least for the first month or so. If you can always retreat to home where you know everyone and it feells safe and comfortable, you will miss out on getting to knnow the people at college at the tme when everyone is new. Make t he transition, and then go back home for a visit.


I gave my boyfriend head for the first time almost 3 weeks ago and every single time we get together he wants me to do it again. He will whine and beg and even do the pout face about it and make me feel really guilty. We haven't had sex yet but this is really bugging me. How do I just tell him no but that I do love him or that I want to hang out without doing this to him every time? I just want a real relationship and not be used for sex. I wish I never did this! :( (link)

Someone who loves you will not try and pressure you into doing something and will not "guilt trip" you. He is using you. If he will not respect that you no longer wish to do this, walk away. Having done something in the past does not require you to do the same thing in the future.


Alright well this guy ask me to come over, and im 13, and then when i got there we went to his room , and layed down were not goin out , and were watching grudge. then he turned me over and we started to make out, he started to feel me up over clothes, then under my bra, he also fingerd me. Were still not dating, did he use me? he also wants to hang again should i ? HELP ME (link)
Yes, you were used.

No, you are not a slut.

You were taken advantage of by someone who does not have your best interests at heart.

At age 13 you should not be laying down with any boys and you should not be making out with anyone. Do not hang out with this guy again, or any of his friends.




Okay I'm a little confused,


Say I had sex 7 days ago, I take a pregnancy test resulting from the 7 days ago I had sex..but I had sex AGAIN the day before I took the test would it relapse and effect the results from the first time I had unprotected sex?


Let me try to break this down so it's not confusing..


7 days ago I had unprotected sex with my partner

I took a test, However I also had unprotected sex again the day before I took the pregnancy test. Would the test come out negative or would the results get effected? (link)

You've gotten the answer about the test.

The more important matter is, why do you keep having unprotected sex? You are att risk for pregnency, but also for STDs. If you aren't sure why, you might wwant to seek out some counseling to figure out why such risky behavior.



I am in summers school. I'm not in summer school for failing or being dumb or nothing like that. Im going to be a junior next year and I decided to go to summer school to take senior classes, so I wont have to take them when I become a senior. Its some program that my school has. A teacher that I have a crush is teaching a class. He knows that I have a crush on him and he jokes around and calls me his girlfriend and puts his arm around me. I think hes just playing and he tells other people that hes just playing. One day he called me his girlfriend in the front office in front of the counselor and the principle and they didn't say anything, the counselor just laughed. Ok, during our little lunch break everyone was in the cafeteria and I was talking in the hallway with one of my friends. My teacher asked me could I take something to the office for him and I went in his class to go get it. He gave me some papers and put is arm around my shoulders and kissed me on the forehead. Is that wrong? (link)

The teacher's behavior is inappropriate.

As much as possible, keep your distance. I would suggest you talk to a counselor at school, but based on what you say, I'm not sure this would be taken as seriously as it should be. Try and avoid being alone with him.


I'm 16 and have no idea what to do.. I have a great idea, don't ask how cause I don't want someone to steal it, but I do? Should I try to get a patent or is it too late? Or Should I first try and sell my idea to a company? How do I do that? And which companies should I contact? thanks (link)

Speak to a patent attorney. Most lawyers will do an initial meeting with you for free, ask when you call.


I'm in the marching band at school. I am fifteen and in the high school band now. But when I was in the jr high band, everyone thought me and my band director were doing it. We were close, he was like a second dad to me. He was 27 when I had him. I didn't think anything of the way we acted. I just felt.. Comfortable aroud him. Now that I look back on it, it was kinda strange, I mean, he was and still is married but when I was late for a class I didn't ask that teacher to write me a pass, or when I did and they didn't so it for me, he would. He would be walking out of the band room with his lap top and I'd he saw me instead of saying hi, we would have a conversation. when I wanted to skip a class, he would always let me, he'd wrote a pass excusing me from class and I would go to the band room to practice. He always called me by my last name so one day I was like "ya know what, I'm gonna call you by your first name." and I did, hen we were in his office talking or something I would call him his first name but when we were with other students he would tell me to call him mr. __ and I did. The day my friend (she plays the same instrument as i do) started thinking our relationship was weird, was in sectionals one day. We were going over this one part and I coulnt get it. I finally got it and I slapped his thigh in excitement not even thinking and Im not sure he realized because he wasn't like ahem or moved it, he just congratulated me and from then on, she thought we were beyond student\teacher boundaries. He had since had his first child when I left for the sr high. But from what I said, do you think we were beyond student\teacher boundaries? And
what leads you to believe what you do? Thanks. (link)
I'd say you were crowding the line. More accuratly, I think he was crowding the line. No booundries were torn down, but things would have been better for both of you if you both took a step backwards.

I'm a former high school teacher. I think it's best for everyone if there is a bright line between students and teachers because then it's less likely for either to inadvertently cross a line. When you see him again, call him Mr.


My good friend and I have been friends since third grade. We are now in tenth. He is a boy, I am a girl. Both 15. I love him, he's like a brother to me an I wouldn't ask for him to be any different. Except, everyone thinks we like eachother and need to get together ASAP!! Annoying, much. Especially when you're talking and people walk by saying "ooooh" can a boy and a girl not be friends without being more? I am going to name a few things between us.
1. I literally tell him everything. He tells me some pretty personal things.
2. I bring him in his favorite pack of crackers. Everyday.
3. I apologize to him for dumping all of my problems on him all the time and he tells me he doesn't mind, that he cares about what's bothering me or what's been getting me down.
4. My one "friend" made me cry during a fight through texting. I had texted him after asking him if I am what she called me and he said no way, you don't even need to worry about her. She's stupid and has no right even talking to you.
5. We text. Alot.
6. He is really smart, so whenever I need help, he always helps me with homework or understanding something.
7. We are both in the marching band, during last marching season, we'd pass eachother on the field, look at eachother and smile during set.
8. I usually start our conversations and he usually ends them, so when I end them, I dont think he likes that. So I'll say like oh dinner gtg and he'd be like 'oh. See ya, then..'
9. His friend started the rumor that we like eachother and want to be together after I started giving him his crackers.
10. he'd talk about girls he think are cute and stuff and I would generally seem interested. When I talk about a guy or something he'd be like "oh. He's alright. "
sooooo? You think we like eachother? I know it's not alot but work with it, please! Thank you for all your answers and God bless! (link)
Yes, boys and girls can be friends, in fact, it seems to be much more the case now than in the past.

As you've seen, a lot of people don't get it. It seems that a lot of people can only imagine one kind of love. Another possible problem can be that your closeness may scare away potential dates, but I think that high school dating is way overrated and time spent with friends or in a group are much healthier and more satisifying.

You have lots of years ahead of you when you can decide to figure out if there is a romantic relationship there or not, but there's no clock ticking now. Your friends are hoping there will be a romance they can look in on with front row seats, but that's no reason you have to persue anything. Enjoy what you have for what it is!
