Ok, so there is this kid that likes me and I like him. I talk to him on the phone and at school. One day we got into the subject of boyfriends and girlfriends. So I said we would be like perfect and he goes yea let me think about it? Its been a month. How do I bring the subject back up, or do I just let it go?
anonymous -
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if it's been a month and you haven't received a response, most likely this guy has already decided no but is afraid to tell you so he plays it off hoping you'll forget about it.
I'm sorry hun, but good luck! :)

If anyone has Avant Browser(the pop up blocker) please help me. So, I just downloaded the new version. I tried to make my homepage www.msn.com but it didn't work. So I went to my internet options, and typed in www.msn.com for the homepage and clicked OK. Well its still not working, and the homepage now is about:blank and some weird website shows up. How do I get rid of this?

Yea that damn thing is on my computer too. Is it like a Search engine with all these listed links? If so, I think it's a spyware/adware program called Search Assistant. I've tried removing it from my computer but it's impossible! My best advice is to look in computer techie forums and see if there is any possible way to remove it from your computer. I found one way to remove it from this one website, but it failed so I wouldn't recommend.
I'm sorry I didn't offer any real advice on how to remove it, but at least now you know what it is!
Hope I helped a little! :)

Okay.My boyfriend told one of my best friends that he doesnt like me anymore so she can tell me. When I got online she told me and I was really mad. I was mad because all of my friends were telling me to break up with him because he didnt treat me right. He didnt know how to be a boyfriend and plus he was prude. He always told me that he loved me and he would never break up with me but look now he told her he didnt like me
anymore. Im so mad at my self that I didnt listen to my friends before. I didnt want to belive them. Now I`m hurt and I dont know what to do. I dont wanna talk to him and let him know I`m sad or anything. So .. do you think he ever liked me or that he just said he did? Im so confused and hurt. Please help! I rate 5's!
anonymous -
Since you're both still young, I'm assuming he broke up with you because he doesn't know what he wants. When I was your age, guys changed girlfriends A LOT. Either they got bored of the girl, or found someone better. It's all just a game and like I said, they just don't know what they want.
Might I add you should be happy that he's gone. Why? I mean, the guy's a coward. He couldn't even go up to you and tell you himself. You don't want a guy that can't be open with you.
Just forget about him and move on. Life's too short to worry about his sorry ass! Start mingling!

Some of my friends tell me that I shop at expensive places. I pretty much shop at Abercrombie, American Eagle, and sometimes at Express. But there's more expensive stuff that I could get. And they say that I'm ubsessed with Abercrombie because I have lots of stuff from there. Is this true??
anonymous -
Abercrombie, AE, and Express do sell clothes that are unreasonable for the average teen. Of course, that is my opinion. I walked into those stores before with my cousin and I think it is outrageous to pay $50 for jeans or $35 for a t-shirt that just says Abercrombie and Fitch. Why spend that much for something that is basically ironed on, ya know?
Places I like to shop? Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe. I like the styles there better (more classy) and the prices are reasonable. An average for a pair of good jeans range from $20-$30 and a nice cami or trendy top ranges from $10-20. That's not expensive at all, and the quality of the material is good also. You'll save a ton of money this way.
Hope this helps!

My friends and I are going camping in Summer- has anyone got any nice, healthy vegetarian recipes that can be cooked over the fire? Also, how do you cook things over an open fire? Thanks.
anonymous -
There are a wide variety of vegetarians, which one are you? Pesco, vegan...etc? I'm going to assume you're an all veggie person so here's my advice :)
A yummy and simple veggie recipe you can do on an open fire is roasting vegetables. What you do is you chop the vegetables in big chunks (or roast whole) and drizzle extra virgin olive oil to coat them and add some desired herbs (thyme, rosemary, etc.; personal preference) and salt and pepper. You can also add lemon juice and garlic. Then you get l-o-n-g kabob sticks and "thread" the vegetables through. Roast on an open fire and remove when tender and lightly scorched. Be sure if you use wooden kabob sticks that you soak them in water before you use them!
Also you can make quick and easy baked potatoes. Just wrap potatoes in aluminum foil and place in a light fire (or grill preferably) until fork tender. Add desired toppings like sour cream, butter, bacon bits, chives, be creative!
Another recipe is roasting corn. You could either use kabob sticks (preferably metal) or do the same with the baked potato and wrap it in foil. But season it first and then wrap it in foil. My favorite corn seasonings is pepper, herb butter, topped with parmesan cheese.
You can also cook vegetable soup/stew. You would need a pot and a type of stand for your pot to stand over the fire. As for recipes, you can just use canned soup, my favorite being Progresso.
I hope this helps and have fun!

I want to make my hair wavy. I already have natural waves, but they aren't that strong, and anyway they're frizzy. My friend uses mousse and scrunches up her hair, and she also uses tongs. I told my mum I wanted to make my hair wavy, but she keeps saying that the only way you can have waves in your hair is to get a perm. It's not, is it?? Because my mate says she's never had a perm. But whatever I say, my mum keeps saying that you can't have wavy hair unless you get a perm, my mum ALWAYS thinks she's right, I can't get through to her. Anyway, how do you make your hair wavy? Please tell me any products/tongs etc that are good, and if there are any sites that tell you how to get wavy hair then I'd appreciate it. I used to curl my hair with tongs, because I did Irish dance competitions. But the curls just fell out like 30 minutes later, so if you know how to actually keep the waves in place, that would be helpful too (I tried tresemme gel spray but that didn't work). Thanks! xo

For bigger (not tight) waves, French braid your hair. My hair is naturally wavy and frizzy like yours, but I find that when my hair is 90% dry and I tightly French braid it and wait for it to completely dry, it makes the waves very defined and pretty (pig tails for tighter smaller waves, ponytail braid for larger ones). Hot steam rollers secured with bobby pins also help :) But then again I'm not sure what kind of waves your wanting to try, but I hope this helps!

Ok so here's the deal... everytime my boyfriend fingers me it makes me have to go pee even if I went right before that! does anybody know why?!?
anonymous -
The reason why you feel like you have to pee when a guy fingers you is because (depending on how he does it) he puts pressure on an area called the g-spot. When there's stimulation in this area, the surface tends to swell (not in a bad way, it's cuz your aroused) and it makes you want to pee because your bladder near the g-spot. Hope this helps!

ok i have this friend and she thinks she has the worst skin and really all that's bad is she's got kind of redish skin and a few spots of acne and its not TERRIBLY bad..but she thinks its really bad so she fricken LOADS on concealer..powder..foundation and all that junk and it takes her AT LEAST 20 min to do her make-up (meaning just the foundation n stuff) and it looks SO bad and people are now starting to talk about her and she just wears sooooo much foundation and idk how to tell her and its disgusting almost..what should i tell her??
anonymous -
I'm sure your friend is very sensitive about her skin, so when you talk to her about it, be very careful with your words.
Just sit down and talk to her about it. Tell her first-hand that you're only talking to her about this because you care. Tell her what you said in this post, that she doesn't have that bad of skin. Compliment her skin to the best of your ability, and reassure her that she doesn't need to put on a lot of makeup to cover herself up. Explain that you read "somewhere" that putting on a lot of makeup tends to make the acne more noticeable and that your skin is more prone to breaking out if you use makeup daily. If your friend is up to it, go to the mall together and have a makeup artist at a department store put on some makeup on your friend; request a natural, polished look.
I, too, was once a teen that was prone to breakouts and I went through the same phase your friend did. The reason why I put on makeup was to make the pimples "less noticable" and that I was really insecure about the way I looked. Makeup gave me a bit of confidence I guess you could say. I started with a layer of foundation (not a lot, but enough for coverage) and later down the line I found it made me look silly and pasty. Until I realized that, I laid off a little, instead I opted for sheer coverage.
But now since my face cleared up, I hardly use makeup. I only use foundation to cover minor blemishes (not on the whole face, only on trouble spots) and I set with loose powder and it looks fine. If your friend wants some advice for makeup or skin care, im me on yahoo someday and we'll talk. :)
Also, here's a link with some (but very few) makeup tips:

Im an alternate for cheering, which means i takes someones place in the competition if they get injured or cant participate. Everyone on the team is mad at me because i didnt go to the last two tornaments and i said i might quit, but im not quiting. They even took all my stuff out of the lockers and changed the locks. Theirs so mcuh drama on the team and no one knows how to put up with it. When i go to practice tomorrow how should i react to people not wanting to talk to me i cant help but to cry sometimes when most of my friends or teammates hate me. please help i rate 5s
anonymous -
The reason why your teammates feel this way is because they feel you aren't committed to cheering. By the sounds of your actions they probably think that you're doing a "half-ass job". In order to solve this problem, you need to prove them wrong. Come to every practice and every meet and devote a lot of time to cheering for them to be convinced. As for tomorrow, just hold your head up and don't worry about it. As hard as that may sound, just say to yourself that they don't know anything about you and don't let them get in the way with you and your cheering.
The only problem with avoiding their taunts is that once that they see it isn't having any effect on you, they will give you a harder time. If that's the case, clear up the misunderstanding and talk to them. Tell them that your sorry for not being able to make it (remember to tell them why you couldn't make it too, justify yourself) and that in order for the team to succeed, everyone must work together and get along. Also explain how you will make it up to them within the coming weeks by not letting them down. Hopefully by then they'll lay off with the drama.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

Ok, this might be kind of long but here goes...I have been going out with my boyfriend for 9 months, and we are really getting on eachothers nerves, we fight over little things a lot and its getting old. He's always by my side and following me, hes really clingingy and hes just getting annoying. Don't get me wrong, he is the best boyfriend I have ever had--literally--and the longest relationship, but I just want to be friends right now. I don't want any boyfriend at all, but I have issues with breaking up with people. I don't like to hurt people's feelings I hate makeing people feel bad or cry, and I need some ideas as to how I could break up with him, but let him know I still love him, we still have a very big chance, I just need a break and want to be friends for awhile?
I rate high to answers that don't offend or piss me off.
Thanks for you help.

I'm not sure if you saw that episode of "Friends" where Ross and Rachel went on a break, but that's what it sounds like you two need.
I know it may be hard, but lay it on him. You shouldn't proceed with a relationship if both parties are not happy. Sit down and have a talk with him (in person preferably, cuz on the phone he can hang up on you). First tell him about the fights you two have been having and that it's taken a big toll on you and that right now you just want to think things out. Tell him that you want a break from the relationship for a little bit (propose maybe a week at the minimum, and if you feel you need more time, just say so). Explain also the reason for why you want a break, and reassure him that it isn't a break up. Remind him that you two will still be together, but some limits will be set for your break time, depending on your preference (ranging from no communication, or limited communication *1-3 times a week*, no seeing each other, no saying i love you's and vice versa. whichever you feel comfortable with). Might I add a break usually makes the both of you realize things you've never thought about before whether it's discovering your true feelings for one another or whether the person is not right for you. Until you get your mind clear of your thoughts about him, then make a decision.
But remember that all relationships go through its trials and tribulations. The fact that you two are still together and are committed to each other enough to work things out says a lot, it heightens your compatability for each other.
I've been through the same with my boyfriend of nearly 3 years. Back in the day we used to fight everyday over silly things, and even then did it get really intense. But we really love each other to stay and work it out, regardless of how angry or mad we are at each other. We also promised each other to compromise rather than argue, and when disputes do occur, to keep things civil to avoid further conflict (we rarely fight to this day). If you decide to stay with him, establish this sort of agreement, it really works!
Keep that in mind hun! Think things through carefully before you take any drastic action!

okay well heres the story: me and my friend have been getting in ALOT of fights lately. Mostly about nothing!! :\ so like, she always talking about how people are doing sumthin wrong and how she would do it SOOO much better and it reeealy annoys me sumtimes. theres other things like, shes always like um....no or um...thats gay and never takes in consideration of what i say. she thinks she is sooo cool and like, she could get any guy she wants.

I've been through the same path here too. My best advice to you is to sit down and have a serious talk with her. First of all, mention that you're talking to her because her friendship means a lot to you and that you're not trying to hurt her, you're just telling her the truth. Otherwise if you deny the situation, you're not being completely honest with her and you end up miserable.
But back to talking with her, just basically tell her how you feel. Like your feelings get hurt when she says those inconsiderate things and that sometimes she gives off the impression that she's conceited. You're only looking out for her, so tell her that you don't want others to think of her as someone that she isn't, but if she keeps acting this way she'll get treated like dirt down the line (on top of that, guys will think she's easy).
If she overreacts, just reassure her that you're not out there to hurt her or try to change her, you're only trying to improve your friendship and her self-image. And remind her that it's better to tell the truth rather than ignore it and withold information right?
Hope this helps and good luck hun!

if you go to a gyno and you shave is that a bad thing or good thing? what do they say?
anonymous -
It really depends on the gyno. The purpose of your pubic hair is to prevent foreign objects and particles from entering your vagina. If the gyno is really strict, there's a small chance of them saying something. If they do, just say you shave it so it's easier to clean (reasonable answer right?). But if they're lenient, they shouldn't say anything.

If it's feedback you're seeking for your decision against premarital sex, my opinion is good for you! Why aren't there other guys like you out there? :)
Keep in mind you're still pretty young though, once you enter high school your hormones might get out of control and you'll end up feeling like you want to break your word on this goal. If you want to strictly abide by it, control your urges and remind yourself that the wait will pay off especially with a special girl of whom you love. In simple words, be prepared for the future and everything that follows along with it! Good luck!

sorry if this gets long..
Well my life is kinda messed up because i live with my grandparents and they wont let me do anything i mean like walk around places, go out with guys, have a boyfriend or any thing like that.. well the thing is when you dont let a person do things they end up going behind the other persons back and doing it any ways, well so i have a sister and she is 3 years older than me and she lives with me to and my grandparents do everything for her they let her go places and do stuff and they dont trust me, they just trust her and shes really mean to them and everything and im nice but they still dont like me, well i cant live with my mom for reasons and my grandparents where saying that they didnt want me any more and they wanted to get rid of me *it kind of sounds like im a animal or something* well i hate it and i hate that they are so over protected and some times everything gets soo screwed up and i juss cry and i wanna kill my self and some times i thought about it and i dont know what to do because i dont wanna end up like some people how they are.. so can some one please help me!
anonymous -
I'm not sure on the background of the entire situation, so if you'd like to contact me further my yahoo name is vi3t_sn0w_ang3l.
But from what I see, your grandparents might be treating you this way because you're the good kid and they don't want you to end up like your older sister so they have to limit you on what you can do. Perhaps the reason they are so lenient on her is because she's older and they think she's more responsible. Regardless of how she treats them, they probably still view her as the "mature one". Most likely they're behaving this way because your the "baby" and they don't think you're capable of making wise decisions yet.
But again, I could offer a more detailed response if I knew some more info. Like have you ever made any mistakes that would lead to them treating you like this? How old are you? and vice versa.
But don't think of suicide, it's not worth it just because of the way your grandparents feel. Remember, they're old people, and old people tend to get cranky sometimes...you have a lot to live for. Don't forget that.
Hope this helps, and leave me a note in my inbox or im me on yahoo for further advice! :)

I think i might make a good lawyer because im persusive and it seems interesting. What do law schools require you to have? Do you need to be advanced in math? Im not the best in math..so im just wondering. is there anyone out there who can tell me about law school and i know its a lot of money..but would i be able to get scholorships?
anonymous -
If you don't know where to start, interview a lawyer in your area on their educational background or interview one online. Here's a website of experts you can search for:
http://www.hgexperts.com
You can also look in the yellow pages for a local lawyer.
I'm guessing for class requirements you don't need a lot of math...probably basic math classes like algebra through trigonometry. Usually lawyers take a lot of communications and english classes I believe.
I hope this helps!

Are you supposed to wear a bra under a cami? Im not very big....like kinda flat...Thanks

Since you're a little on the flatter side, you would be able to pull it off without a bra. The only problem I see without wearing one is the risk of people being able to see your nipples! Keep that in mind!

Is it normal to have a little bit of hair and many little and big bumps around the area of the nipple? The other day i thought it was an acne bump so i pinched it and some stuff came out, just a little though, but i think it was mainly blood, LOL. So someone please help me..or tell me what a normal nipple area should be like??! Thanks alot. xOxO--am
xoxo--am -
It's normal to have small hairs (peach fuzz or very sparse hair) and little bumps around the actual bump of the nipple (the bumps shouldn't be hard or tough), but if it's big bumps and stuff came out of it (puss?), then I'd suggest you talk to your mom or go to a doctor about it. As embarrassing as it may be, a quick visit to the doctor would relieve you of all your tensions and worries once you know what it really is.
Hope this helps!

In choir I've noticed this guy staring at me for awhile. In Spanish he fools around and I think he tries to get my attention. When I'm at my locker he waits for the kid next to me and I can sense he's looking at me. He also catches my eye in the hall. Well today in my locker I noticed something on the top shelf. It was a small piece of paper that only said i love you. It was written sloppily like a boy's handwriting. I'm hoping maybe he wrote it. I never talk to him but I really want to. Any ideas on how to do so....because I'm really shy. :-/
anonymous -
If you have friends in either choir or spanish, bring the note up in conversation so you make sure he hears it. Like,
"Yea it was the weirdest thing, I got this note in my locker the other day and you would never guess what it said. Anyways, it wasn't signed and I'd really like to meet the guy who wrote it. Wish I knew who he was..."
Something along those lines but don't overdo it. If you don't see a change in behavior say he gets really quiet when you talk about the note, just strike up a conversation with him. Although you're shy, it's really easy to start talking. You could maybe ask him a question on the spanish homework then maybe extend the conversation by intoducing yourself (if he hasn't met you already), and talking about the class (teacher, homework, etc.). You'll be amazed on how a small question could branch off into a conversation of large proportions.
Hope this helps and good luck!
