well, i've been in love with this boy, Drew, for about a year. I'm 14 and he's 17. Our relationship is perfect minus the fact that he doesn't really open up. He knows everything about me and my child hood and everything. but now that i think about it, i really don't know anything about him. i just need some help on how to get him to open up to me. he said he's always had a rough time opening up to anyone but i want to get him out of that. does anyone have any suggestions? i'd really really appreciate it.

Well since he's older you'd think he would be smarter and respect the fact that you opened up to him. Tell him that you need him to talk to you more. Sometimes though, guys are secretive. Umm, tell him you just want to be closer to him and you can't do that unless he opens up some. And tell him tht it shouldn't be hard if he trusts you and you've been with him for this long.
Tell him to take baby steps with it. Good lck hon. =].

sorry if this is long but it's making me so upset.

so i went out with 'tom' for almost a year and a half. it was good in the beginning but after awhile i began to like him less and less. it came to the point that the last few months i couldn't even stand him and he was annoying and i ended up always being mean to him because of this. well, while we were going out, there was this girl at work and they always flirted with eachother. in his yearbook she signed a full page saying how much of a best friend he was, and i love you about 10 times atleast. i was there when he was reading it and he just had the biggest smile on his face. he always had stories about her and i asked him, why do you always talk about her. and all he said was because he worked with her. he used to call me right when we got home from school, at 2:30, but for the last few months the only time we would talk (if he worked) was 3 minutes while he was on his way to work. then, one day i saw him walking and he had a big smile on his face, talking on the phone with someone. this was the same day i read the yearbook. i told my friend, if he's talking to 'kayla', i'm going to be so pissed off. and i call him, and im like so who were you talking to, "oh, kayla." oh, why? "i just wanted to know who we were working with today" .. oh okay.
seriously, he couldn't wait two hours to SEE who he was working with? did it really matter that much. okay so moving on. i started to get really annoyed by him, so i knew it had to be done because i was wasting both our time, and i dumped him. well he was all like we should stay friends and not stop talking and blah blah blah. well we were okay with calling every couple days, not really serious, and talking. then we stopped talking for a week or more. (i dumped him around 3 weeks ago). so i saw this girl that works with him, and i was told that he went on a DATE with kayla. i was so pissed off. seriously, i knew that they liked eachother WHEN we were going out. oh yeah, and while we were going out, she had a boyfriend that she's been going out for almost TWO YEARS. and a few days ago, they broke up. imagine the coincidence? now we barely talk anymore, and i was kind of talking to him online and he's all like "you were so mean to me for the last 3 months and i know you were serious even though you say you were just kidding. that's why i'm almost over you" this is coming from the kid that was head over heals for me (not to sound conceited), and was so upset when i wanted to on a break. it's been two weeks after our year and a half relationship, and he's already dating some girl. i'm so upset about this. i even told my friends, even if he went out with the prettiest girl in the world, or even one of my FRIENDS, i wouldn't care as much. it's just the fact that it was her. it's not like i like him anymore, maybe i do .. but i thought i didn't for MONTHS at a time. i want to not care anymore, but it's killing me just knowing that they like eachother and it's over. i don't know what to do. we barely talk anymore, it's all her now. how can i stop caring so much, and move on?

First of all,
he was a jerk! You were mean to him subconciously b/c he was flirting and talking to Kayla. He shouldn't of been talking with her or be 'best' friends with her. You were his girlfriend! So that's probably why. & I would have done the same thing if I was in your position. You were right to break up with him. He wasn't repspecting you enough. As for Kayla, okay if she had a boyfriend the whole time, then that says what kind of a person she is. She's pathetic and was jealous of what you had. They both deserve to be losers together. Now, I would still have feelings for Tom if I was you, which I know you must... It's hard to deal with I'm sure. But, try and look optimistic from now on. Atleast you did it before he might of cheated on you. & now you can find a new guy eventually. One who is faithful to you.
Try venting to your friends and spend time with them. Keep busy so your mind doesn't keep reflecting on the situation. Good luck sweetie. :)

So, I'm 15/f and he's 15/m and we've been friends since 6th & he's one of the bffls that you love but never do anything together? Haha, weird friendship, I know.

Anywhos. Well, since 6th grade, I began to like him and in 7th grade he turned me down when I asked him to go to the dance with me. Ever since I've accepted that we're just friends and nothing more. I was really starting to get over him during the summer after 8th grade [We didn't have an classes together since that one class in 6th grade]. But during our 9th grade, he was in few of my classes [both Pre-IB kids so we're gonna be in the same classes a lot from now on] and we instantly became better bffl's if that makes sense. Like we created a lot of inside jokes & we were like partners for everything like labs, checking work, writing, class work, and basically everything. And then my feelings for him started to come back and it's been on and off [my liking for him that is] And out of no where, he's called me cutie a few times & I'm confused as to if he's just being friendly or jokingly or what? Cliche sounding but he's already broken my heart several times [esp when he kept on making himself to his now ex-gf for the longest time] & I don't know what I'm suppose to take the "cutie" thing as. I'm probably over thinking it. But do you think he's just saying that in a friend manner or more? Thanks =)

Well, he might just be friendly when he says 'cutie'. He just wants to be close friends like you two are right now. If he makes other hints that make you wonder though, then maybe he does mean something by it. So keep a heads up on that.
But, I think you should stop lingering around with him. Go find someone new to crush on sweetie.
Oh and by the way, that's why the call it a crush. Because being rejected hurts.
Good luck.

No one understands me. At all.. I cannot talk to my Mom okay?? It's just not that easy. Through school I try so hard to be someone, loved by teachers, known by friends.. I mean I have friends and most teacher love that I get awsome grades but my Mom doesn't. It seems like she couldn't careless if I dropped dead. I came home early from camping because I had my periode and my Mother tweeked saying schools not everything (love story**summer reading stuff like that**) Well it is to me. Im a staright A student and my mom could careless. I mean if my brother Scott actually got a D she'd be SOO proud! I know people might say she expects more out've me but everytime I do my best she ssays I could do better, or to try harder and she acts like im not her daughter.

I have 3 brothers. I'm the only girl. My mom always would tend to care more about what they would do or what grades they could get. I got almost straight A's and she pointed out the B- I had in Math. The point is, now that I'm older, I now realize why she seemed so cold- hearted to me...
She knew I was her only girl, and she wanted me to be strong. By giving me attention she was afraid I'd get lazy, and become lazier. By pushing me she made me work harder though. Helped me become the lady I am today. She just wanted me to do my best. And knew that if she pushed hard enough she would.

Your mom loves you so much, you're her child. She just wants you to suceed. And if it really hurts your feelings (because it did mine) then talk to her about it. seriously hon.

okay well basically every question i ever posted was about him. I know i need to get over him but ive liked him since september and he just doesnt talk to me anymore but when he sees me he always somehow makes sure i know that hes there. I know he doesnt like me anymore and before we went out his best friend warned me he was a player but i already liked him for 8 months so i didnt wanna believe it. Before we went out i tried to get over him but i couldnt. then we went out but only for like a week and he broke up with me. It made me really upset because i liked him sooo long and then i had him...just to lose him. We broke up beginning of june and hes still all i think about/ I think i started to love him. I still talk to his best friend and just the other day his friend IM'd me and said "I told you so when i said he was a player" As i said before i try to pretend hes not there when i see him but he makes sure that i know and hes always with other girls. I know i need to cry it out i can feel it but for some reason i just cant cry. i start to tear up but then i stop . I dont know what to do. PLease help me =/

Seems like this guy wants only ATTENTION. He just wants you to give attention to him. Which is what your doing. You're giving him your power. Take it away and find another guy, MORE worth your time honey. I'm sure that this guy just wants to mess with your head. And not much more good can come from it.

its not strange to be gay? im 17 and ive really have strong feelings for another guy weve become really close and we want to have sex im a bit nervous maybe because its another guy but i want to take things further should i go for it?

It's a hard choice you have to decide for yourself. I know you are nervous, you're going to be. But, Make sure tha it's what you want. And don't ever say it's 'strange' to be gay. You are who you want to be. That is fine. and if people don't except it, they don't deserve to know you anyhow. Talk it over with your boyfriend about the sex thing. It is a big deal. Just make sure you are positive with what you choose to do.

ohkay so i was talking to my boyfriend on the phone just a minute ago. and i told him that i missed him already ( i seen him yesturday ) && he told me that i`m sprung & he likes that. what exactly does that mean. and he also said that he was gettin there with me as well. i`m so confused. what`s it mean when he said that he is almost sprung with me too ? and what does sprung mean.

i`m female - 16
he`s male - 19

Sprung means you are getting turned on. You want them and are horny.

You might have felt this way for him for awhile. But never realized it. Ask your friend how he feels. It could be from your friends putting thoughts into your head though.

Hey! I'm not gonna use names, but my bff got a new boy toy and now she is totally ignoring me and all of her other friends so she can be with her gu 24/7. But I heard that he was gonna break with her. Should I wait until it happens or tell her. I'm afraid to tell her cause she may get mad at me! :I What do I do?

Tell your friend what you heard. But explain to her that it might just be gossip. Don't try and make it sound like you know for sure. Basically just give her a heads up honey. &+ a lot of times when friends get boyfriends they sort of ditch their old girlfriends and such. Try and work out a routine or schedule for when you and her can do things together. I'm sure she loves you and wants to see you too.

what was the first movie made on DVD?

Chances are there was more than one dvd made at a time. So there isn't just one as the first.

i'm 16/f and i'm a model; im very new in the industry. I have my first runway show in a week. I need any tips i can get. also, there will be some very important people there and my modelling coach said that i have to know the name of every high fashion designer. So where can i get a list of every high fashion designer???


thanks

CONGRATS! First off.

Okay try buying a fasion mag. and learn some designers. Maybe search online for 'fashion desgigner' and some top class names will appear. Be confident while in your runway show. I know you'll do fab. If you made it this far you know.

good luck!

there is this guy ive been interested in and i knew previously he was into me. Well we were hanging out at my friends house he consistantly asked if i still had feelings for him, i said yes but it wasnt like it mattered now later he grabbed my hand then he kissed me, i pulled away because i knew he had a girl friend and he apparently loves her. The girl already hates me as it is because of him liking me and me liking him. After he kissed me he pulled me aside and said about how bad he felt about doing that and that he couldnt do it again This happened about 2 weeks ago and yesturday i saw him again and he seemed like he was being an ass to me, this guy is just making things awkward between us, of course i still have feelings for him too but i appreciate the fact he has a girlfriend. Then he starts talking about how we havent hung out in awhile, then went right back to insulting me, i think its his way of flirting toward me. But, honestly i just want our friendship back. What should i do?

You just got to tell him straight up how you feel. You have to tell him you respect the fact that he has a girlfriend and just want to rekindle the friendship. Tell him that you still feel that way for him but you can't be that girl. I hope it all works out for you. And if he REALLY loves his girlfriend he wouldn't be 'insulting/flirting' with you.

just so you know this is kind of a couple questions ok so i've been walking alot. Since i walk i get thirsty and i can only really drink cold water when i walk and alot of it will this help lose weight??? Also how long will it take to show that you've lost weight i mean i know it wont show up right after walking or whatever but how long does it take? Another question is there anything that can boost my metabolism and something that can boost my energy and also something that can like make me lose weight faster well what i mean something that can help me lose weight period thanks in advance sorry theres really bad well kind of no punctuation but whatever

It will be a couple of weeks before you notic any slight difference. You could take diet/energy pills to boost your metabolism. It will help break apart the fats in your system. You also would see a larger weight loss most likely if you took some of those pills. But either with them or not, as long as you walk daily and eat healthy you'll lose weight.

14/f. i tried putting in a tampon a few months ago but it didn't work, and then i tried today and it didn't work either. i'm scared to put it in, my mom was right there telling me where to put it but it just wasn't working.

1 - what hole does it go in?

2- is there a different hole from where you get fingered, where you tampon goes in, and where the penis goes in?

if so, please explain! because my boyfriend and i were getting pretty intimate but i made him stop because he was about to finger me and i was scared he was going to break my hymen and then i'd bleed everywhere. or like he wouldn't be able to find the hole just how i wasn't able to when putting in my tampon. 3- or do girls get fingered in a completely different hole? i'm so confused, someone please help! thank you!

It's the same hole for the tampon, penis, and getting fingered honey. Don't worry about the guy, he will know where to put his fingers or penis. As for the tampon thing, sometimes girls' aren't big enough to wear them until after they give birth. But I think you're just paranoid and scared you might hurt yourself. It's the middle hole. Around down where you shave. Right in the middle where everything goes. Hope I helped sweetie.

Today I tried to put a tampon in for the first time, so needless to say I was doing a lot of looking at my vagina.

While attempting to do this, I looked at my vagina in a mirror and thought that it just didn't look normal. The two flaps are wrinkly and they seem to be really big, and brown at the bottom (and i'm not sure it should be). Also, near the hole where the tampon goes, there's this little piece of skin that doesn't seem to have a purpose. What is that?

Is what i'm describing normal?
14/virgin
I've masturbated, if that makes a difference

Your skin down there is fine. Stop worrying hon. Masturbation doesn't make a difference. You are perfectly normal. RELAX.

I don't really like my boyfriend anymore, i know that is TERRIBLE to say, but im 13/f and im not allowed to date till im 16. The other day on aim he said the sweetest thing.. that he would wait for me until i was 16 so we could go on dates. That freaked me out, because i dont want that kind of commitment, i dont like the fact that he is going to be with me for 3 years scares the crap outta me.

How do i break up with him because i can't see him in person, because schools out and i cant go anywhere with him period.Also i am not allowed not to call him!!!!!! Do i messaged him over myspace? I know thats a terrible way to break up. :(

pLEASE hELP mE!

Try and sneak a phone call to breakup with him. Myspace breakups are too pathetic. You got to explain to him how he made you feel when he said he'd wait for you. Tell him it frightened you. And tell him you are just not allowed to date anymore and it's getting to difficult for you. He'll understand. Rejection happens hon.

Im 16 and my dad died when i was 8 and my mom recently got married to a guy who used to be in the army. I have two sister and now i have 3 step brothers. He is like way strict and his kids are like perfect angels but me and my sisters have never really been raised that strict and for lack of better words are pretty wild. my mom never really punished us for things and now this guy is trying to control us and take over our lives. What should i do?

Try and behave a little bit better. Anytime parents remarry it's like the kids always have to adjust in a certain way. Just try and be civilized and you don't have to love this new step dad. If it really becomes an issue talk to your mother and tell her how you feel. but try and give him chance. I'm sure he wants to give you one. Everyone deserves a second chance. Let me know if you want to talk again. Hope I helped hon.
