WAT DO I SAY TO HIM??

Sure call him back girl!!Ask him how he's been and what's new with him.Then after you've talked for a little bit mention how you miss hanging out with him,and ask him if he'd like to go see a movie or grab a bite to eat,whatever you want to do,whatever setting would make you most comfrotable.Then you take it from there!!!Let him know you had a lot of fun hanging out with him,and suggest doing it again soon! ;)

okay there is this guy and we are really good friends! He comes over and stuff and we just hang out and have the BEST times! We can talk to each other about anything! We have such a good friendship! I was thinking about him the other day...i might like him! I think it might be wierd though, and he hasnt given me any signs about him feeling that way... i don't think so at least. But i don't know if i should give him hints as to taking it to a higher level, and if i should then how should i do it?? HELP ME PLEASE!

Sounds like you guys already have a strong and great connection.Honesty is the best policy if you ask me.You may not know what will happen by letting him know how you feel,but later on down the line you'll regret not telling him and living a life full of what-if's.Whereas,if you tell him,down the line,no matter the outcome of it,you won't feel any regrets for being honest about how you feel.And honesty is the key to any friendship so even if it weren't to work out,your friendship should remain strong cuz,as you said,you can talk to each other about anything.Why start holding back now?Ya know?Since you guys are friends you know he must like you in SOME way.So,here's what I think:flirt with him,let him know how cute and funny you think he is,but be subtle about it,you don't wanna come off as desperate!That would be a disaster waiting to happen!Smile at him,don't make the fact that you like him a secret,but also don't push yourself on him,there's a thin line there.Just don't throw yourself at him,but also don't play all those hard-to-get games,cuz to most guys then you just come off as weird,they're not much for reading your mind!Haha!When the time is right,tell him!Until then,flirt,have fun and enjoy him.You'll know in your heart when the time feels right to let him know!!Best wishes!!I hope I helpe some!!! :)

Ok im turning 14 rite so then theres this guy hes like one of my best friends were always on the phone and always laughing together and we have alot in common and he has complimented me a lot i even had him over my house but nothing ever happens do you know any hints of him showing he migh like me or somthing and i have no idea if i like him. Its all a strange thing so plz help me when you have the time thanks

Jacky!

Hey Jacky! Well,guys are sometimes VERY hard to read!!I think sometimes that's part of their appeal.Haha!Well,typically there are a few tell-tale signs to look out for.If you catch him staring at you a lot,or smiling when he sees you.Sometimes he may talk to everybody in the room BUT you,almost like he's ignoring you completly,but believe me he's probably paying attention to your reactions to what he's sayin!If you notice that all of a sudden he seems to have a new found fashion sense,as in he's dressing slightly nicer(instead of wearing those worn out jeans with the hole in the butt,lol),wearing cologne,and you can't quite put your finger on it but somethin's different about his hair,haha!!If he calls you just to talk,makes himself seen at parties or friends houses where he KNOWS you will be,even tho normally he probably wouldn't go near them.And a really big one seems to be,if all of a sudden he's all buddy buddy w/your best friend,and constantly asks her where you're gonna be,if you like anybody,etc.Sounds to me like you guys have somethin pretty special going on!After you get an idea of how you think he's feeling,write me back and we can talk about how YOU'RE feeling about him!!K?? Good luck hunnie,can't wait to hear back from you!!! :)

Ok, this sounds kinda gross, n this question might get kicked off but i am serious about this...today my breasts started hurting really bad, it is doing it right now there are like these certain spots where they hurt, so im just wondering why they hurt and shud i call a doctor or something? Thanks!

Well,depending on how old you are,it may just be what they always call "growing pains" hehe!Sometimes they will do that when they are still growing.Also,they become REALLY sensitive around the time you start your period.They can ache pretty badly then.Try an anti-inflamatory like Advil or Ibuprofen and see if that helps ease the aches and pains a little!!If those don't help,there's always good ole' Tylenol!!

[view]


is it ok to have stretch marks or like scars of some sort on ur breasts?

Yea,stretch marks are totally normal!If you experienced a sudden growth spurt in your chest size,sometimes the skin doesn't have time to catch up and it stretches out the skin,leaving those marks.It's completely normal!!

Okay...for the past 3 days I have had nausea, indigestion, and some dirrahea!! I have run out of ideas and don't know what else to do!! Can someone give me some suggestions on what to do??

It does sound like it very well could be IBS.If all of your home remedies have failed,like Mylanta,Pepto-Bismal,Kaopectate(sp?) and Immoduim AD,then it's time to get to a doctor.He may recommend that you see a specialist.I suffered for months with horrible stomach pains and problems and no doctors had any answers,until finally I was diagnosed as having a spastic colon(or a form of IBS).I've been on medication since and it's helped me tremendously!!!Get yourself to a doctor my dear!!!Write me back and let me know how you're doin! Hope you feel better soon!!

wight105

Hey,I can TOTALLY relate!! I'm only 4'10 myself but I'm proud of it!!!Heehee!! But it does suck that whenever you gain a pound it shows!!I do sit-ups and crunches.If you can,invest in an ab-roller!!They're awesome!!!Those large exercise balls are also good to work your stomach and ab muscles.I'm actually trying a new ab workout routine right now.If you're interested in it,drop me a note in my inbox!!! ;)

Okai will my friend she asked me about her clothes like she can NEVER find any store that has clothes that will fit her n shes skinney and around the world we have the same kinda stores so shes about 5'1 and she wears like size 0 in pants n like xs in shirts so if you can help me with that like if you knwo where she can get clothes that fit her! The other thing is her hair she has black hair n red streaks which are fading away now n her hairs medium length n if you know how she can cut her hair so it looks cute on her lol n plus she has a babi face n I was thinking like layer but would that look good?

Hey! I can relate,I'm a size 0 as well,and I know how frustrating it gets sometimes!!!Check out all the little shops in the mall....Express,Charlotte Rusee,Delias,Rainbow,Deb,etc.The Alloy catalog has some great choices!!Go to www.alloy.com and shop online or request a catalog by mail!!Also the Victoria's Secret catalog has a lot of good choices for smaller size girls!!Go to www.victoriassecret.com and request a catalog,or shop online!!! As for her hair,layers are really in right now.I have a bit of a baby face too,and my number 1 suggestion would be to stay away from short bobs!!They tend to make a baby face appear fatter and rounder!!! YUCK!! :( But some choppy,shoulder-length or slightly above shoulder-length layers would look good!!

I'm in like despirate need of a job cuz my mom decided to stop randomly givin me money wich sucks ass... so ne ideas for a 14/f!

Well,you could always baby-sit!Some good ways of getting clients are to make fliars and put them on bulletin boards at grocery stores and places around town,or drop them in people's mailboxes!!You could also see if maybe some elderly neighbors need some help with things around the house like laundry or running errands,or mowing their lawns.You could always mow lawns over the summer for anyone!!! Hope I helped some!! ;)

What do girls my age (14) like in us guys?

Wow,I feel old!Haha Well,when I was 14,I always fell for the guy who was proud to say he liked me.Strong,confident guys who make a girl feel safe,yet aren't afraid to say sweet things to them,like compliments.Guys who take time to notice little things,like a girls hair or how her outfit looks.Of course we all like a guy who knows how to have fun and how to make us laugh,and who aren't afraid to show that they're with us when they're around their buddies.That's a biggie with me still,I HATE guys who act different when their buddies are around.Just make her feel special,go out of your way to make her feel comfrotable,call her just to say goodnight!Make her feel like she's greatest to you,and she's sure to return the favor!!! :)

theres this boy thats one of my friends n we hang out all the time like wit other ppl n stuff wit us. n durin the day this boy is the BIGGEST asshole. but then when night time roles around hes all touchy feely n wantin me to flash him n we mess around. it doesnt bother me or nothin because i love sweet guys...n when hes sweet...hes sweet! should i still let him be an asshole n then mess wit him when he 'becomes' sweet?

Hmmm...sounds slightly schizo to me!!Hahaha! There really is no excuse to let him treat you like an asshole EVER!!!! I would ask him straight up,"hey what's your deal? why do you act like this?".In my opinion you shouldn't ever mess with someone who treats you wrong at any point in time!!You're just asking to get hurt!Sit him down and have a talk with him!!!Let me know what he says!!! :)

if i fucked my boyfriend today...can i go to the clinic 2marow and see if im pregant! please answer should i take the day after pill

The morning after pill must be taken within 72 hours of having sex,or else it's useless.Unfortunately,I don't think there's any way of detecting pregnancy that early on.Wait until you're a little closer to the time you would start your period,and see if you miss your period first of all.If you do,head to a drugstore,take a home pregnancy test,and then go from there depending on the results of the test!And of course,to prevent any future scares,always use condoms and look into going to your gyno or even a clinic like Planned Parenthood(www.plannedparenthood.com or .org I believe),and getting put on the pill or the depo shot,whichever you preffer!!

Okay , me and my boyfriend was talkin on ta phone and he asked me to marry him(AND AT A YOUNG AGE TOO) and I said no , was it the right thing to do ???were both 15.he aint mad but he is kinda sad , he said he wanted to be with me forever,and I let him down. was it the right thing to do???

It's definetely the right thing to do!As you said,you're WAY too young to even be thinking about that sort of commitment!!Let him know that you really care about him a lot,and who knows what may happen on down the line,but that right now you guys are SO young!!The idea of it shouldn't even be on your mind!!He should definetely understand!!!

can anybody tell me exactly what happens when u get ur bellybutton peirced.. i want it done so bad but iwanna know what they do!!

Sure!! You lay down on a table,very similar to what you lay on at a doctor's office.They swab alcohol(I believe that was it)on your belly button and the skin around it to clean and streilize the area.Then they take,what basically looks like tongs(you know the kind you use in your kitchen,to pick up somethin hot out of a pot)that have a rubberband wrapped around the handle to strengthen the grip,and they pinch and slightly life the top part of skin,above your belly button,right where the needle,and later the belly ring will go thru.Then they take the needle,which is several inches long and ease it thru that skin.They may either put the needle in thru the bottom or the top.Mine was done from the bottom.It's just a quick pinch,and before you know it,it's over and they're poppin the belly ring in there!!:) It may bleed just a tad,mine did,but that's normal!!Take any anti-inflamatory like Advil or Ibuprofen for any aches and pains afterward,and a heating pad is good to lay on your tummy for a bit if it's hurtin you a bit.Make sure to keep it good and clean.You'll want to apply hydrogen peroxide,that's usualy what they tell you,to each hole to clean it out,and if you get the ring instead of a barbell,make sure you turn it!!My piercing guy recommended standing in the shower and letting the warm water run right on my belly button and rotate my belly ring.That really helped!!Best of luck hunnie and make sure you find a good,reputable place that uses very sterile materials.Make sure they wash their hands and you see them bring in the needle and the ring in clean packages,and already streilized!!!I've had mine for 2 1/2 years now and love it!!! Good luck,you'll do just fine!! ;)

I feel that my father is cheating on my mother. There are some obvious signs, and I'm not sure on whether or not I should confront him about it. (I'm thirteen.)

1) There have been small pieces of paper in front of the family computer with porno sites on them.

2) I have seen porno links on the computer's history.

3) At strange times of the day, his 'work' cellphone rings, and on the phone's interface it reads 'private call.'

4) I went onto the computer one day, seeing that a Singles website was completely filled out with my father's information.

My feelings are mixed--it could all just be a coincidence, and if it isn't, should I confront him about it or would I just be getting in the way? Please help me guys.

xoxoxox,
Constantly Confused

Well,that all doesn't necessarily mean that your father is cheating on your mom.People(both men and women) of all ages,races,shapes and sizes look at porno websites every day!How else do you think they got so popular? ;) Sometimes phone calls can read out 'Private' if the person has a private or unlisted number.I have several friends who call me and their numbers read out 'Private' on my cell phone.As for the singles site,that could all be totally innocent.I remember one night my dad jokingly filled one of those out,with my mom standing right there with him,just for a laugh!My parents have been happily married for 31 years.So it could be nothing.Your parents may have also hit a rough patch in their marriage,which is not uncommon at all,and isn't cause for alarm right away.If I were you I wouldn't confront either of them.If you suddenly see more frequent and more serious issues(like screaming matches,avoiding each other,sleeping seperately when they don't normally,etc.) going on with your parents,maybe then ask one of them if something is wrong.Until then,take a deep breath,relax,and just see what happens!Best of luck suga!!If you need anything else,feel free to write me!!

~Hey I have this cutting problem. I just always wish someone would take me away from this world. My parents just kicked me out...once for smoking pot and sex...and the other reason is becuz they didnt want me. Right before this happened I caught my almost husband in the bed with 2 otha gurls.I almost married him at 17!! I got a new bf though. That is the ONLY reason I am still her. I am living wit him for now. I tried commiting suicide once but my bf stopped me. Life just keeps getting worse. I cut myself to releave myself from deppresion, anger, and nething else. I want to stop cutting myself becuz my bf doesnt like me doing it. I was raped by my ex's friend(my ex set it all up)and my bf doesnt know yet. I am anirexic(food disorder). I am 5'6, 92lbs, blonde hair, blue eyes, white wit a tan. Pls help me stop cutting myself~

First of all,you've defied all odds already!!You're a very very brave young woman!Allow yourself to feel proud of that!A lot of people would've completely folded,but you're still here!!Step back and take a look at the positives,you have a wonderful boyfriend who loves and stands by you,you've been given the gift of waking up to see another day,another sunrise,another day full of possibilities that are GOOD!!! And look at this,you haven't committed suicide because deep down inside of you,you don't want to die,you just want help.Also,you didn't go thru with it because that's not what's meant to be.God has a better plan for you.Your best bet would be to seek help at an eating disorder clinic,and they can help get you set up with counseling and therapy that you need for other areas besides eating.It's going to be a tough road,but look at the road you've already been on,and you made it thru that.I have faith in you that you will beat this and go on to live a wonderful and full life.Please write me back and let me know how you're doing!Much Love & Support,Whitney

ok, ive been together with my boyfriend,drew, for 14 months. its been great. this one girl tree that drew used to like has always been in the way. they are always talking n shit and drews friends used to tell me that he still likes her and shit. so id get jealous off and on. well tonight he tells me how he stayed online until 5am talking to tree. well i said how come u dont stay up with me. he could tell that i was jealous and he said why cant u accept that im best friends with her? i replied how can u be best friends? u never hang out. i doubt she looks at u as a best friend. well that was rude of me and he got all mad. he looks at me and says "There is something i have to tell you" and he tells me that tree told him a long time ago that she likes him. i knew it all along. should i be mad that he kept that from me for months and months when i knew it all along ?

Well,he was probably doing that to keep you from getting hurt,but still that was something he should've mentioned before.It would probably be best to just sit down with your boyfriend and express your concern.Let him know that you're a little jealous and a little worried about the situation.He sort of contradicted himself,he says they're best friends and then when you say you doubt she looks at him as a best friend he gets upset.Yet later he tells you that she told him she liked him a while ago!!So just let him know that that upset you.Tell him that you love him and don't want anything to jeopardize your relationship.If he truly is right for you,he'll be willing to listen and talk this whole situation thru!!! Best of luck hunnie!! :)

I'm 13 and I weigh 126 pounds. I would like to weigh 110, and I really need a way to know how I could lose just a few pounds. My friends know me as the big eater. I'm not fat, actually I look very thin, but my stomach is a little bigger than I'd like for it to be. Some1 please help!

}}I rAtE{{

Well,depending on how tall you are,you might be in just the right weight range!! The key with eating is not to starve yourself,but to eat several small meals throughout your day.Just grab little snacks like a handful of chips,or a handful of strawberries.Whatever you like to eat! ;) To tone up your abs and stomach muscles,sit-ups and crunches are great to do!!Start out slow and work your way up to a larger number per day.Also,ab rollers are great!! Even celebs like Janet Jackson,and Britney Spears use them,and we all know they have great abs!!;) Hope I could help you some!!!

Ok, I have a few random questions.

1. It's my time of month...so my skin is breaking out. And now I'm getting a pimple inside my nose. And it's not just on the edge...it's on up there. Is there anything I can put on it?
2. When I shave (mostly my legs) the very day...they are already fuzzy. I have dark, thick hair... and it seems it grows back within 1 night. I have tried putting lotion...but sometimes I think that makes it grows back worse. Any ideas?
3. I've decided not to shave "down there" but just trim it...how short should i keep it?

Thanks.

Hehehe,ahhh the joys of being a female!!!
1)Unfortunately I wouldn't put any kind of acne medication on the actual inside of your nose.Typically those kinds of zits just have to go away on their on.It's usually just what you said,at your time of the month.
2)I have dark hair too but I've never had a problem with that...I use that Gilette Venus razor on my legs,with lots of shaving gel.Try and wait and shave your legs at the end of your shower,that way they've had enough exposure to the steam and moisture of the shower.
3)I would keep it trimmed as close as possible.Keep it pretty short!! ;)

Hope I helped!!!
