My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.

Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.

On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.

If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

how do 3 year olds know those kind of words? (link)
...horrible parents is my guess.


I had my pysical exam thing today and the doctor said that if my period doesn't get regular next year, she would give me the option to take birth control pills for a couple of months to regulate it and take me off.

I was wondering if anyone has done that and how long it takes for someone's period to become regular. And if I should or shouldn't. My mom doesn't like the idea but I somewhat do because I always seem to get my surprise periods at the worst times and I'm kind of tired of that.

By the way, I'm 14/f and have had my period for 2 years. (link)
I never really understood why parents didn't like the idea of putting their kids on birth control. It has virtually no negative side effects if you get a good one. Most of my friends are on it to regulate their periods and nothing has happened because of it.

But anyways, I'm on birth control for the same reason now and as soon as I started taking it, it became regular. It's awesome. I've never heard of only keeping someone on the pill for a few months though...I've continued to take it for almost a year.

It's definitely good for knowing when to expect your period AND if you're going on vacation at the time you're going on the placebo month (when the period starts), you can stop the pills 2 weeks early, get your period, and have it gone and be on the next month of pills by the time you get to the beach or wherever. It's definitely a gift from above. :)


hey, my name is nicole...i really need advice and i didnt want to ask the whole advicenators because i wasnt completely comfortable with what the answers would be

you seem like you know a lot and you give good, real answers which is what i need...sorry in advance for the length...

okay, first off...im 15 and my boyfriend is 16

im not sure if hes done or anyhting or what hes done with other girls...he probly has but idk ...iev been dating him for about 5 months now and i love him to death! (ive never done anything but make out)

im most definatly ready to start doing sexual things with him and so is he...i know this because he's tried to do things when we were making out but i stopped him adn changed the subject like three times because i get nervous, anxious, and i feel like im not gonna be good enough...i get concious about the way i look "down there" and just EVERYTHING but im definatly ready for it...

i have some questions though...

well a couple months ago i was talking to one of my guy friends and he was telling me how he gave oral to a girl and she didnt cum and we were talking about masterbation and he asked me if i did and i said yeah and hes like did you ever get an orgasm before? and i was sort of confused becuase every time i masterbate, i orgasm...ever since i started...

is it not normal for girls to orgasm??

and when i watch movies like sometiems the girls have sex for the first time and itll be there first orgasm...im just a little confused about that...

when guys give oral do girls normally cum? what normally happens?

and like does the guy keep going until she orgasms normally?

what do guys normally like thebest...completely shaved or some shaved?

when giving a guy oral, do girls normally swallow it or just finish him off with their hand and not swallow?

and if they dotn swallow...then like what do you do with it when youre finished...what normally happens??

when a girl gives a guy oral...what does the guy like and what does the girl normally do??

...like how does she start it then what does a girl do that guys really like...just a little bit of some of the things to do...

thank you so much in advance...i just need answers about how everything really is and normally happens

(link)
Wow, lots of questions. lol.

Well, I know you say you feel like you're ready to be sexual with your boyfriend, but if you're that insecure, you probably aren't. And if you're not sure, or either way, communication is key. You have to talk to him about it and be honest with each other. It can clear a lot of things up.

Now, for your questions:

All girls are different. For some girls it's difficult to have an orgasm. And most girls don't orgasm EVERY time they have sex with a guy. Usually you have to stimulate yourself to get over that cliff. As for oral sex, the girl SHOULD orgasm unless it's just unusually difficult for her to get there or if she just isn't into the guy.

If oral sex is the only thing planned, the guy would probably do it until the girl orgasms...and even if intercourse is going to occur. Girls can have multiple orgasms so guys usually try to give them as many as possible.

All guys are different and have different preferences. All like it neat down there...some like shaved and some like trimmed. But to be honest, a guy will take what he can get. Most are just happy to be down there in the first place. Whatever you like best should be fine.

Again, all girls are different. You can swallow if you want, or you can just use your hand to finish him off and let him cum in your hand or on his stomach. In that case, you can just wipe it up afterwards. If you keep your mouth on it the whole time but don't want to swallow it, you'd spit it out...but the taste isn't that wonderful, just as a warning.

As for your other two questions, you need to talk to you boyfriend about what he likes. He'll tell you, trust me. And while you're down there take cues from him on what it seems like feels the best. Here are a few guidelines though:

-COVER YOUR TEETH! No guy should feel teeth on his penis, ever! Ouch!
-Don't just suck...use your tongue to massage it and pay special attention to the head of the penis.
-Use your hands as well as your mouth. Like guide yourself with your hand at the base of his penis.

Those are just some cardinal rules. The rest is up to you and your guy.

Good luck! And thank you for the question!


Basically, I want to loose 20lbs by the end of school. Right now, I'm 16/f and weigh 151lbs and 5'6. I would like to weigh 130-135. So far I've been eating::
Breakfast- Oatmeal, Bannana, Diet Iced Tea.
Snack- Grannola bar
Lunch- Turkey Sandwhich, Yogurt, Carrots
Snack- Strawberry's, or some sort of fruit.
Dinner- A Lean Cousine Or Healthy Choice. (under 400 calories)

Every Day or so I also take a walk, or work out for forty minutes and then lift weights.

am i doing everything correctly? Do you think I can loose enough weight by the end of school? And what kind of foods should I add to my diet, if there are any?

thanks for the help :)

(link)
That's really good, but make sure you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Only have that tea for dinner or breakfast...just once a day. Water is better for you...even if it's flavored.


i just got my first period on saturday, and the weird thing about it is that the blood doesn't come out on the pad or in my underwear, only if i wipe or put a tampon in. does anyone know why this happens? thank youu! (link)
Your flow just isn't heavy. It's not a bad thing. It will probably get heavier as the months go on, but that's completely normal. The heavier the flow the better, trust me.


THere is a trend out there I guess its spelled emo. Anyways my son has been talking about it for two years but never really acted on it. Two days ago he started dressing im all black and yesterday he puts on eyeliner. I love my son very much, he has always MARCHED TO HIS OWN DRUM AND IVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED HIM. HE IS MOSTLY ANTISOCIAL AND LOVES MUSIC AND THE COMPUTER...HIS NEW FOUND LOVE IS THE CURE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BEING EMO. NOT TO DOWN HIM BUT TO SUPPORT HIM.....PLEASE HELP (link)
Well from my understanding emo is short for "emotional" and it's pretty much "sensitive" guys who show their feelings, which are usually depressed.

If you listen to emo music, it's either a bunch of screaming, super depressing, a bunch of whining, or all three put together.

Not to be rude, but it's just a word that guys who think it's cool to hate their life and dress in black but NOT be goth...which is different, sort of.

All the emo kids I know sit at the back of the class and don't talk to anyone. They have that hair that's jet black and covers one or both of their eyes and paint their fingernails and sometimes cry during class. It's very strange. They are also known to self harm (slit wrists).

It's also strange that your son had an "interest" in being emo. Most emo kids would say you don't choose to do that, it's just who they are. It could quite possibly be his 11 year old mind telling him that something is cool when it probably is not.


I cut myself twice while shaving my pubic region. This was about 2 wks ago. By trying desperately to fix this situation, I believe I've only made it worse... I work on my feet for a living and the costant walking around with these cuts has caused immense pain and extra irritation to the cuts. So, I can't stand to use the restroom because my urine burns the cuts, and wiping has also been painful. I tried using gel soap to cleanse the cuts, and Balmex for comfort while walking, but both only served to agitate the area even more. Now my skin is chafed, the cuts are still there - and they're pussing slightly!! This is making me miserable, two weeks of pain and irritation, fear of having to pee, and I definitely can't have sex like this; God only knows what kind of extra damage that would cause! How do I heal these cuts without continually making the situation worse? (link)
Wounds heal best when they're dry and clean...so don't use balmex. Also, get Summer's Eve to clean it instead of other gel soaps. It's meant for the sensitive genital skin on women, so it won't irritate the area.

The best thing to do, and the only thing I can think of, is to try to keep it dry, leave it alone, and let the cuts heal on their own. Also, when you're home try not wearing underwear so air can get to the cuts. That should help and lesson the pain.

I wonder if that liquid band-aid stuff would work to cover and protect the cuts until they heal? You can ask someone at the pharmacy about it.

Oh, and you definitely shouldn't be cutting yourself that bad while shaving anywhere...especially not twice. Maybe you should buy new razors, try a new technique, or switch to another hair removal product...like nair or waxing. I can't imagine cutting myself that badly with a razor while shaving...that's very strange. The worst you should get is a nick and once those stop bleeding they aren't painful.


I'm not really that fat, but I am planning on going on a diet. (Dont worry I'm not annerexic). Anyway, I was wondering what types of foods to eat. Thanks so much%% . (link)
It depends on if you're going on a certain diet or just cutting down and eating healthier.

If you do Atkins, it would be a lot different types of foods than just cutting down on the things you're eating. If you want a structured diet, you can research them on google or in a book store to see which would work well for you.

In general, if you just don't want to consume as many calories, here are some guidelines:

-1200-2000 calories a day
-At least 8-10 glasses of water a day
-Watch your portion sizes
-Five small meals a day
-Get a work out regimen (at least 30 minutes about 5 days a week)
-Most fruits and vegetables have negative calories, so they're fair game
-Add in a healthy amount of protein (meat, cheese, eggs) and dairy (try 2% or skim milk)
-Whole grains are the healthiest kinds
-Watch your intake of sugar, fat, calories, and sodium


hi my name is sarah im 18 years old! im just wondering what i should do! its kinda awkward... but everytime and my boyfriend get intimate he ask to have anal intercourse. i'm just wondering whether this is normal or maybe he is confused with his sexuality?? maybe someone out there has had the same problem as me?? advice or solutions would be much appreciated as i would not like to have anal intercourse. thanks so much you guys.. (link)
Well if you don't want to have anal intercourse, don't do it. Tell him no and tell him you refuse to do it. If he actually cares for you, he won't push it.

As for his reasoning, just because a guy wants to have anal sex doesn't mean he's confused with his sexuality. Guys have anal sex with girls all the time, it's not strange or taboo anymore. It doesn't mean he's gay or curious or whatever at all.


i kind of want my boyfriend to finger me.. we rub eachother and stuff but thats as far as it goes..what i want to know is:

1. does it hurt the first time? if not, what does it feel like?
2. stupid question, but can you get an STD from it?
3. How long does the guy usually do it for?

thanks. (link)
1. It can, but it's possible that it won't be too uncomfortable. It won't be horrible pain or anything, but there could be discomfort. Maybe try it on your own first just to see.

2. Not unless he touches his genitals or semen before touching your vagina.

3. Most likely until you orgasm. If you don't...I guess until he THINKS you've had an orgasm.


I'm female and 13 years old and I have a really bad masterbation problem. Its like it completely controls my mind and I just CAN'T stop thinking about it. I'm becoming really distant with friends and family because all I want to do is be alone so I can pleasure myself. As of a couple months ago I started skipping classes just so I could lock myself in the bathroom and masterbate. What really bothers me is that my boyfriend of 17 months now wants to finger me but I say no. but its not because I think I'm too young. Its because I want to be in control. Seriously, I need help and I dont know what to do ! (link)

Hope that helps!



i'm 15/f. my b/f and i have been goin out for a year and a half. we've only had sex once and then he used a condom. other than that he just 'sits in me' if you know what i mean. essentially it is sex but he doesn't cum in me. would there be any way i could get pregnant? from pre-ejaculation or anything?
thank you! (link)
It's not a BIG chance..but there's definitely a chance. Those little sperm are sneaky fellas. Buy a test just to make sure.


if a guy that has had sex with 7 girls.. i don't know if he has a disease or not.. probably not.. but let's just say he does. if me and him do it, and he wears a condom, could i still get a disease? (link)
YES YES YES! The only thing condoms are good protection from is pregnancy...and it's not even 100% on that.


EDIT: Here's my response to yours when you rated me. A LOT of STDs are transmitted by skin on skin contact...like herpes, warts, etc (even if they are not in the middle of a breakout). And there's also always a chance of the condom breaking. Hope that helps. :)


nice subject right? haha, well.

ok, so i was just wondering cosim totally clueless about my vagina and i think i need to learn more about it. (btw; 15/f) well i was looking at it in a hand mirror and i have no idea where i would insert a tampon or where i would finger myself or where the penis goes. there was it tiny tube-like thing inside another whole and i dont know if that was where and i wanted to finger myself to kinda stretch it out but i didnt want to break anything. so, anyhelp? (link)
Woaaaaah, slow down there.

Ok, there are two holes in your vagina. One is your urethra where your pee comes out. That's the small tube-like one closer to the top...never put anything in there!

The one closer to your anus is where the tampon, fingers, penis go. It's bigger. That's where your blood comes out when you have your period.

Oh, and also, the little bump or flap of skin at the top is your clitoris. That's used for sexual stimulation. Experiment with yourself and play around down there...especially on the clit. You may be surprised what you find.

IS there a way to get a pale face or skin? (link)
Ummm.....stay out of the sun? Become anemic? Get bitten by a vampire? Bleach it like Michael Jackson?

Pale skin usually isn't a desired thing...but there's no way to MAKE your skin paler like that without just plain looking sick.


How do I get great skinney legs from the knee and up like Bou? (blond hair)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/tokyobatsu/ancfe/4baa479d.jpg

by the way, they're all guys.

How do I get them? do they just not eat or something? (link)
I'm guessing you're a girl if you're asking how to get skinny legs. You're probably right about the not eating.

Google "leg exercises" and you'll get stuff like squats, lunges, leg lifts, etc.

Truth be told, guys don't like stick thin legs...they like nicely shaped thighs. I'm not saying fat...but toned. Think...Trish Stratus or Fergie.


Hey. I'm 14/m, and I'm mildly worried that I'm becoming addicted to masturbation.

I got into it slowly, and soon found myself in a rhythm of masturbating once every other night. Is that too much?

Anyway, I masturbated last night and the night before, and now I'm feeling this incredible pull to do it again. I really don't want to get addicted. Might I be becoming addicted? Are there any negative health affects of masturbation?

Thanks. I rate. (link)
If you can get an addiction to tanning, you can get an addiction to anything. But this doesn't sound like an addiction...it sounds like a 14 year old guy whose hormones are raging (which is completely normal).

I don't do it every day...but that's probably because I don't have the time! lol. Plus, I just don't enjoy doing it very much. But most girls love it, and guys love it even more. Don't worry about it, do it as much as you want. Have fun with it!

And no, there are no negative health affects of masturbation that I know of. And honestly, once a day isn't that much.


ok so im thinking about what i want to be when i grow up becuase im going to be applying for colleges with the next 2 years. i have always loved architecture. but i havent done much with it. but i did do 2 projects in school based on it.

There is someone in my house. The phoneline is dead and I am typing very carefully so he doensnt hear me. I don't know what to do my heart is beating out of my chest. I'm on the third floor, i don't recognize the car outside and there's a huge racket downstairs. HELP (link)
Call the police!!!!

....who doesn't have a cell phone?

Whatever you do, don't waste all of your time on the internet. The obvious thing to do would be to 1) hide or 2) get out of the house.


What are some good eyeshadow brands?
I want the color to show up and not have so much glitter in it. I always have glitter all over my face even when I barely use any shadow.

And do you have any pictures of wearing it? (link)
Well, as the girl below me said, MAC is good, but one thing of eyeshadow costs almost $40! That's ridiculous.

I use clinique...I get it at Belk or Dillards and it's more expensive than Maybelline or Cover Girl, but it works great and it's not nearly as expensive as MAC.
