Q: I am not racest at all..but I have a problem..Okay well I have a really good friend..hes black..im white..I have liked him for about a month now..I really like him..hes all I think about! I found out a week ago that he liked me and wanted to go out with me..he even wrote the sweetest peom ever about me..I cant go out with him because my mom would flip if i went out with a black person..she just doesnt believe in black and white..and neither do some of my friends..It just wouldnt work..I really like this kid and I need to get over him! what should I do?! please help...

follow your heart . if you really like him and he's nice and careing it shouldnt matter about if he's black or not . your mother may just have diffrent thoughts and maybe if you show her the nice person he is than maybe she will except him

Q: Hi, my problem is this. I'am a 21 year old female from Australia. I've worked in numerous jobs ranging from a Hardware to a Chemist and at the moment i work at my local supermarket. At the moment i'am studying medical administration but i dislike it very much. I can't seem to hold down a job because i still don't know what to do for a future career. I dislike studying but i don't want to let my family down. Time is running out, financially i'am really poor and concerned about my future. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i think you should take an aptitude test about your self . it will give you some jobs you may like and be good at .

Q: This may be kinda long, but I need to ask someone. I just started taking birth control pills 3 weeks ago. I think I may be pregnant but, I havent missed my next scheduled period. Since I just started taking the pill, that messes up my cycle for this month. I have other signs of possibly being pregnant. Being on my pills the nurse told me I should be getting my period around the 13th of this month. My boyfriend and I are very sexually active..in fact every night. I know we shouldnt do it, but it is unprotected each time. Is there a way that I could find out now if I could be pregnant..like take a pregnancy test tomorrow and find out? Im really nervous and want to know if I am now. I need to know what to do soon. Thanks.

if you feel your pregnet take a test and talk to your nurse

Q: ok well latly i have been remembering times when i was younger that i did not like at all. my family would take pictures of me when i was in the bathtub.(i was about 10 or so at the time) and i recall one time when my grandmother was scratching my back but went below my pants line and i freaked out,ran away and cryed. my mom said i was making to big of a deal out of it. again when i was about 9, my mom would suggest that i sleep topless in the summer if i got hot. i always thought that was strange. plus my family(including aunts and grandparents) spanked my butt for no reason at all. just when they passed me they would. i dont like thinking that they did that to me, but i was younger at the time and i didnt know any better because i though a lot of famlies were like that. well now i know that they're not and theres also a lot of other problems going on in my house(not sexualy). but is there something i can do about it now that im older and know it was wrong...(is it wrong?) or if i should just forget about it because its passes. oh and i have always felt that i would get raped before im 18...please help me if you can...

i think your parents still thought of you as a very little girl when you where ten and thats why they took pictures ... i think your dad told you to take your top of because he was trying to be helpful so you wouldnt be too hot at night and didn't know it would make you feel strange . i dont think your family thought of hurting you sexually in anyway . and about the rape thing ... its just a though which most likely will NOT happen

Q: ok well my brother was recently let out of jail, and during that period of time, i got along with my mom... okay.. not great though, and everytime he has been here.. she's changed, she has been favoring him SO MUCH! and she was like this before he left too, but i dont know how to deal with this. she says stuff to me that hurts alot, and she does stuff for him that i would ask for the same and she would be like, do it yourself, or mean stuff like that! i really dont know how to put up with this! it makes me really sad, cause i have been trying to get a relationship with my mom cause i dont have one with my dad (even though he lives me me) and it just doesnt work! please help! i dont know how to deal with this anymore! cause it has been goin on for years! :-(

you should tell your mom how you feel and tell her that she's hurting your feelings ... this may just be a stage she's going threw though

Q: my girlfriend has posters on her wall of a bunch of celebrities that she thinks are "hot". She claims to me all the time that she doesnt check them out or think about them in any way but i think she is lying to me. I dont know what to do now. Is she lying to me about checking other guys out or what. She claims they are stupid little pictures, well if they are so stupid why are they up?

she may just like looking at them , not checking them out

Q: Haha, okay, well i have this like, don't think it's gross, but a 3rd nipple type thing next to my right nipple. Its been there for so long, and every time i have a physical my doctor seems to ignore it. I thought it was like one of those bumps you get around them but this is bigger, and if you feel it...eh its like a normal nipple!! Its so strange, and I feel really uncomfortable, especally in front of my boyfriend, who laughs at me, but still, im so self-concious about it. I was wondering if anyone had this same problem...or somthing...please help!!

ask your dr about it or got to a plastic surguen to get it removed

Q: Ok.. Im 14.. and I really love my boyfriend.. well.. last night.. we were talkin for a REALLY long time on the phone.. and he proposed to me. Its was really cute the way he did it. I of course said yes cause im so much in love with him.

What im wondering tho is: Do u think it can work out.. hes 16 and im 14... and also... do u think im too young to be engaged?

i really dont think you should be geting engaged at such a young age your 14 and have your whole life infront of you , i really dont think you parents will aprove either , you may be only 2 years younger than him but its still alot , to tell you the truth he's probably more mature in many thing than you be cause he's older and alot can happen in 2 years , please dont take this the wrong way but i think you should go to college then figure out your love life , you shouldnt make a fool of your self , i dont think you even know what real love is

Q: hi! okay well im 11 and i just started my period! ahh! well i live with my grandparents and my grandma is on her way home right now but i havent called her and told her. when she gets home what are some good lines to say to her? plz help! i rate really good!

Q: Ok... My mother and father r separated, I live with my mom and visit my dad every other weekend. And everytime i visit we have fun until i do something small and it pisses him off. and i HATE IT! He throws fits over the smallest things. I've thought about calling my mom to pick me up whenever he does tht but i dont have the nerve b/c he'll get into a fight with my mom and i hate it. Plus when he gets mad he doesnt talk to me, he just sits there in a bad mood and if its time for me to go he just says bye and gives me a hug when usually he hugs me says he loves me and kisses me. and i need k=to know what to do b/c i'm over it! please help me.

if what your dad is doing really bothers you you just shouldnt go to him on the weekends and you should tell your mom , no one will be mad at you

Q: Well im 15 and i have a WONDERFUL boyfriend. we've been together for 3 years!! and u have to admit thats pretty long..anyways, he gets horny a lot, and he tries to get me to have sex with him sometimes, and im just NOT ready!!! He understands tho of course since hes a real understanding person, but last night, he tried to have sex again!! and of course, (as always) i stopped him. And this morning he came over, and gave me a letter, and then left..here's whut it said..

Dear Nicole,
This no - sex thing just isnt working for me. Im sorry, its just that i get sooo HORNY whenever i see you..i jack off, and i just cum and stuff. I dont have a very strong will, so i think u should rethink about the no-sex thing. you know that i love you either way tho..and i cude never break up with you..but ur a fantastic person, and i neeeeeeeed you..
Love,
Chris
