Well, to start off I am 20, and have been with my loving boyfriend for a year and known him 2. he has been in other relationships before and even has a little girl, so I know he has had his share of sex. Well, I am still a virgin and I am ready and confedent in our relationship to try to have sex with him. I almost did once but when it got to it.. I was scared It was going to hurt, im a big babby... I am wondering is there any over the counter creams or anything out there that would really work, to numb or take the pain away.. and i mean really work so i dont feel a thing my first time? Thank you so much, this means alot to me.

No, there aren't any creams to dull pain experienced during sex. Besides, if you numbed your vaginal area it would defeat the point. You wouldn't be able to have any pleasure at all silly if you did that.
Pain usually exists because a woman's vaginal are and vagina aren't lubricated. If a male puts his peis in a female's vagina and thrusts and she's not wet down there the friction will cause discomfort and or pain.
The other issue is with the hymen. If it hasn't been stretched thrugh tampon use or masturbation it will hurt when stretched through intercourse. The amount of discomfort however, will not affect things that much and is nothing to worry over. It's minor.
The best thing you can do is buy a water based lubricant designed for sex that can be used on the inside and outside of the condom to ensure there is enough lubrication so you are more comfortable. You won't need to worry as excruciating pain just doesn't happen.

Okay well my dog is 6 years old and since this whole food thing has happened we are worried he might be sick from it. In recent news they just revealed that it had been found in dry dog food also. Well we had been feeding my dog IAMS, which was recently pulled off the shelf. We got that bag of dog food 3 weeks to a month ago. And he just through up. But he has threw up before and it could also be because we were on vacation for the weekend so we gave him food & water and put him in my bathroom since itd be better than a cage and its bigger. So do you think it could just be axienty because we were gone or could he have that disease from the food. Also what are some of the simptoms of that food disease. Sorry if this was alittle confusing. (link)

If I read this correctly your dog is eating IAMS dog food that is dry and not wet. If the food is dry you have no need to worry. The recall does not affect ANY Iams dry pet food for either dogs or cats right now. Furthermore, IAMs entire line of dry pet foods are not manufactured by Menu Foods Inc.
Iams wet pet food for dogs and cats are affected but it's a certain type of wet pet food. You need to log onto Iams.com and check the U.S. and Canadian list of recalled foods. This will tell you that your dog is fine for sure.
Animals do get sick and throw up now and again and it's likely not related at all to the recall. However, after reading the Iams site and the answer to this question take the dog to an emergency vet or your regular vet and call ahead to tell them what food it's on.
They may just tell you that he's unaffected over the phone as they know what food has been tainted. The vacation could be a reason why he's not feeling well.
When a dog is sick the best thing you can do instead of serving him/her pet food is to serve it regular rice with ground beef and nothing else in it. Vets recommend this a lot. At the same time look for organic pet foods and diets on the Internet and wean him off of the other food using those instructions.

i'm moving next year and i'll just be starting highschool. i don't know what i'm going to do because i made a whole bunch of friends here and it's going to suck. i'm not good at making friends. on the first day of school everyone is going to have friends and i won't. :(
how could i make friends? (link)
|
It doesn't have to suck at all. This new school and new home might be even better than what you left. If you walk into school thinking the situation will suck and you'll have difficulty making friends that's exactly what will happen. Why? it's your attitude that will against you because you've taken a defeated stance before seeing what unfolds for you.
While you might not make friends on the first day when the teachers introduce you ell them where you are from and add with a laugh "If anyone needs a friend just ask." This shows you are friendly and open to people.
My other recommendation would be to talk to your parents about this and plan a party for when you are settled in the new house.
Then on the first day of school let the teacher introduce you and you can pipe in with btw I'm having a party at my house and would like you to all come so I can get to know you all.
Making friends here will be no ore harder than it was anywhre else. Be yourself, hold your head high and be friendsly. Introduce yourself to people you feel attracted to as well so they don't all have to come to you first. They're just as nervous about you as you are about them.

oh my god, seriously, what has the world come to...? i read a question on here and a girl had sex at 10 YEARS OLD. i was watching the news a couple of hours ago and an 8 YEAR OLD HAD SEX. yes, an 8 year old. i didn't even think 8 year olds knew what sex meant! on the internet news a 12 year old had sex and killed her own child because she said she wasn't ready for a kid. really, what's wrong with the world? why are people having sex at such a young age? do any of you agree that this is absolutatly crazy? (link)
|
You know, I think the question about the 10-year-old is a fake put there by a kid or adult that wanted to test our system and see what kind of response they got. I've been giving online advice for years and this kind of outlandish question comes through all the time. People answer it anyways in the slim chance that it's for real as we're not supposed to pass judgment.
As far as the news goes people having sex at that age can/does happen. It's extremely rare though. I think it has to do with bad parenting and adults not knowing what their kids are doing and about their friends and habits. These days anyone regardless of age can know all about sex based on the Internet and what's said on the playground.
The story about the 12-year-old is also extreme and unfortunate and doesn't happen a lot. You might think it does because of the slant CNN etc puts on it.
Is there something wrong with the world? The answer to that depends on your beliefs and who you ask. There's a lot wrong with the big picture that needs to change for sure though.

ok so there is this guy i like and he liked me back but i rejected him(that all happended last semester). he left the school (not because of me!!)
ok so somebody told me his myspace so i checked.
well now i accidently sended him an invite thingy.
AND NOW I AM DEAD!!! what should i do? he thinks i hate him. and i don't really know how he feels about me but i'm pretty sure he doesn't like me anymore. i am so ambarressed right now. i have'nt heard from him since last semester and after i rejekted (that was like february 2006) him we never talked again. i am in love with this guy
WHAT SHOULD I DO????????? (link)
|
You need to relax. You don't know for sure that he hates you or do you? He might be very happy to connect with you again. If you cancelled the pending friend request he would have reason to think negatively of you. Just let the request go as is and wait and see if he approves it.
If he writes to you be friendly and tell him you knew he wa son Myspace as a mutual friend told you he was. He could even have a steady girlfriend and not even be thinking about the fact you turned him down. People forgive and forget as well as move on.
You are neither dead nor is your social life over with. Everything is going to be fine here. Just don't cancel the friend request because that then would give him a reason to dislike you and cause problems. This is a non-issue right now.

Im 17/F and ive never really had a relationship. Ive hung out with alot of guys and talked with alot of guys but never wanted to have a real relationship with any of them. All my friends have bfs and makes me feel like im abnormal that i dont want a bf..i just want to have fun. Am i weird? (link)
|
You are the farthest thing removed from weird. People can have their first relationships at any age. Being 17 and never having had a relationship with a member of the opposite sex is normal.
Alot of people these days start dating later into their teens or early 20s. Why? Some people don't want the head games and BS that happens when people are younger and more immature. Cultural reasons may also come into play with parents dictating what age to start dating.
It's not abnormal not to want a boyfriend just yet. You just aren't ready for one as the time isn't right yet. When it is and you have found the right person you'll know it.
If all you want to do right now is have fun on your own or with friends keep on doing it. There's nothing that says you need to have a significant other by age X or something is wrong with you. You're fine.
When it comes to relationships most people start them from having had a friendship first with their partner. Hanging out with guys like you have been doing will lead to something sooner rather than later.
You just need to relax and go with the flow as all of this will fall in place when it needs to in your life. Be young, creative, and enjoy having as much fun as you can.

so im a sophmore girl and all be 16 soon all my friends have gone pretty far with a boy and well me, i havnt. when my friends ask me how far i have gone im kind of ashamed of the truth so i exagerate the truth a little, well.......a lot!so they all think im something im not. what should i do, i'll sound like an idiot if im just like "just kidding i havnt gone that far". so a little help please?
and i have had the chance to go further but im scared of not doing something right or if the boy thinks im dumb or if i do something tsupid so yeah (link)
|
This line works best if you have a steady boyfriend but also works if you are casually dating a few people here and there. Just tell them that you made an agreement with your date(s) to "never kiss and tell" or that it's your policy to "never kiss and tell."
You could also tell them something like this "Your imagination could come up with far steamier than any of my experiences." or the ever popular "You just wish it happened to you." or something that will generate a laugh or to.
If they persist just tell them you never talk about what you did or didn't do with guys so that they don't tell locker room stories about you. Let them know that you think keeping this stuff private whether you are experienced with guys or not is the best option for you. After all, a lady never tells.
Just joke about this topic if it comes up and give up no information. If they see that you can dance in circles and never give them what they want to hear they'll get bored of this quick and never ask again.
Bottom line don't tell them what you don't want to but don't lie either. Lies bite you in the butt especially if you are dating smeone and you said you did X and they think it means with him. Rumors are not wha you need.

i hate my height..i'm 5 6...i hate being this tall...i'm 14/f...is there any ways of being shorter?? (link)
|
There's really nothing you can do. Height is pre-determined by your genes. Nobody can change it neither you or someone else for you. There's no medical proceedure or anything like that.
If it helps 90% of people hate their height. People who are tall want to be short (so they can stop hitting their head on stuff) and short people want to taller. There's nothing any of us can do about choosing our height I'm afraid.
Most of the girls that you know of may be about 5 ft 2 or 5 ft 4 which is average. They're all secrectly wishing they could be you and have those extra inches. Everyone is insecure about this so you're in good company there.
Just remember it's not the size or look of a person that counts it's what is inside of them that makes them who they are.
|
Okay, I'm a 14/f.
The guy I like is a senior, he's a good friend of mine, hes 18 going on 19 this June. I won't be 15 until August.
I really like him, but unfortunately, he is obsessed (and believe me when I say that) with my best friend. She's 15 and a year above me in school.
Anyways, she doesn't think of him as more than a brother and has told him this multiple times yet he can't get over her. She wants to go to prom with a guy she dated and he's actually thinking about asking her. However, the senior I like has already jumped and asked her, but she hasn't answered.
I don't know what to do.
Should I tell her she is leading him on if she goes with him?
Am I too young for him, do I have a chance? (link)
|
I beleive in being honest and blunt. This may not be what you want to hear but I think your changes are really small with him. He'll be 18 and thinking of college and college women and you'll still be in high school.
He's likely not going to have the support of his family and friends here if he did date you. Sadly, that plays heavily in to this. However, the age gap from 15-18 isn't much. The biggest factor is maturity emotionally, mentally, intellectually. If you still act like 13-14 and he's acting older its going to be a bad match that could go down in flames.
Unless you are two people that are so compatible it likely won't work as his world is night/day different than yours. At 18 he's an adult and a lot of people will be putting pressure on him and making fun of him because he's dating a "kid"
If none of this really matters talk to him about your friend. Tell him point blank that you know she's not interested at all as she said it three times already and is getting tired of him asking and likely won't accept his invitation. Tell him you however, will go with him if he wants and you've always been interested in him. Then leave it to him.
You have to approach him directly with your feelings here as he's likely not aware of your feelings. Your friend would indeed be leading him on if she accepted the invitation to prom and doesn't tell him it's strictly friends or no dice.
Should you tell her that she's leading him on? In short no. Why? Well when it comes to relationships and feelings for other people or between two peole stay out of it.
No matter how good a friend the person is they will go nuts if you tell them what you think or come between two people who are either friends/lovers or not.
If ultra-sensitive about being told the truth she could decide to kill your friendship. How do I know? been there, had it happen. My advice is to keep your mouth shut about it but confront the guy with how you feel and what you know based on what she's said in the past and see if he'll go with you etc.
Before going to approach him about a date and your feelings as a courtesy tell your friend that you know in the past she has had no interest at all in X as a date or a relationship. Ask if that has changed? If she says no tell her that you are going to speak to him about going with you as you've liked him all this time. It gets you out of any sticky sitaution that may have arised.

i overheard that a guy i like just as friends is getting me a ring for my birthday. it is a cross ring and i don't know if it is supposed to be something more than a birthday present. i don't know if i could accept it if that's the case...what should i do? (link)
|
By all means accept it! You would look pretty darn bad if you didn't. He knows that you are just friends so there's no worries. People often by rings because they symbolize something such as friendship, graduation, being part of a group together etc. All it symbolizes is friendship as there's no romance.
Him giving you a ring doesn't mean that romance is what he wants either. It's a birthday present and a pretty thoughtful and expensive one no doubt. Somebody must think you're a real friend. Accept it, be thankful and feel valued by your friend. Most people would not be this kind with gifts for anyone's birthday.
Maybe you have directly or indirectly impacted his life in a positive way and the ring is to represent that. It certainly represents your friendship, birthday but something deeper and it's not about romance or you'd see heavy signs of his intentions long before now if it was.
So, relax he's not after you/anything and enjoy the ring he gives you. It just means he cares a lot about your role in his life as a friend and wants you to know it each day.

I am having problems. I have a 60 gig iPod Video. I want to put videos onto it, but I can't using my old computer. It's an iMac OSX, and apparently it is impossible to update it. Is this true? I have to update iTunes in order to put a movie on my iPod. And please don't give me any answers like "You shouldn't have gotten a mac in the first place, you idiot". I just want some help. Please and thank you! (link)
|
First things first log onto your Macintosh computer right now and hit the icon in the top right hand corner that looks like a blue apple wioth a bite out of it. Use the drop down menu for About This Mac. This will tell you what version of OSX you have installed, the speed of your processor, and your memory.
The next thing you need to do is click where it says OSX version with your mouse one time. Write down your serial number. You can then call Apple's tech support department or your nearest Apple Store (see apple.com) and they can tell you exactly how you can update your machine and install more memory and make things faster.
Anyone who says your computer cannot be updated is wrong. There's so mch incorrect info about Apple's Imac products out there it's rediculous.
If you call Apple's 24 hour tech support (dial 1-800-MY-APPLE) for the number in the U.S. and Canada they'll fix your problems with Itunes and your IPOD situation very quickly and in the event they cannot do it over the phone they'll tell you what options you have. You should be fine.
I'm running an Imac 20 Inch with OSX 10.4.9 and love it. Even an older Imac is a giant leap ahead of a PC. Once you buy a Mac never go back! Like the first poster told you you have the best machine and most secure machine out there.
It may take a while to learn how to solve minor issues like this on your own but man it's worth it as there is less aggrivation in the end.
What you really ought to do is call Apple and buy their Apple Care plan for the Ipod, computer etc and be protected and always have 24/7 access to support. Trust me, I would be nowhere without it as I'm still learning OSX versus Windows myself as i bought this one in November.
It's getting easier and easier though. You've made a wise investment in my humble opinion. And no, I don't work for Apple;) But I sure love their products hence a recommendation to others and to you to keep using what you have.

Can you please help me/ I'm looking for a dog that is good with kids, does not shed alot and fairly good about training. (link)
|
You might want to check out a breed called "Golden Doodles." It's a beautiful dog that is mixed with a poodle and a golden retreaver. They are very smart, love kids and are very playful. They don't shed that much from what I know of them.
Check out this page that is all about them http://goldendoodles.com/
I also like pugs (i own one that is crossed with a Schitzu) and they just love kids or anyone for that matter and constantly want to play. They are very small when they are pups and easy for kids to handle. They are not known to shed much at all. Mine has been fairly fast to learn commands like sit, no, off etc and he's only 8 weeks old.
Pugs aren't real barkers either. Both breeds love to socialize. The Golden Doodles pick up commands fast and you'll have an easy time of training them if the breeder has not already started as they pick stuff up awfully young and fast. Both breeds again are very gentle with kids.
The only other thing to consider is how often people will be home to play etc with them and space. With the pugs they don't get all that big but Golden Doodles are a medium size dog and would not work in a small space such as an apartment.
If you have a house with a yard that's paradise to that kind of dog. They're very affectionate as I mentioned above. for accurate info on pugs try www.pugs.com

okay,i need help on makeing friends..kind of. im already in a "group" but, i don't think im much like them. there all really close and then im just there. its like i dont exist sometimes. its just because,im kind of quiet. and im not exactly like, them. but i'm still with them,some how. i mean,i have NO sense of humor,and there very humorous. how do i make things funnier? how can i speak up? and, if you must label us, we would be the random,skater,whatever, group. i just,have no close friends what so ever. and i dont know how to make them! this has been going on for probably 2 years. and i'm starting to get really sad that no one cares that much for me. how do i make them care for me more? thanks so much,i really need help on this one. oh and i dont remember things,i suck at it. also,i find myself so lost,i dont know how that might help,but yeah. (link)

Your problem is that you do not believe in yourself and feel that you lack all the qualities that are needed to have friends and keep them. Believing this about yourself is utter garbage and is exactly what is holding you back from having the very things you want.
You have the same exact qualities that your friends do as well as the same abilities to make friends. The reason you aren't doing it is because you are fearful and believe that people see you as having no sense of humor, that you don't exist, I'm not like the others etc. etc.
Why are these beliefs holding you back and impacting your ability to have quality friends ? Put simply your classmates see your insecurities as you're telegraphing to everyone whether you know it or not exactly how you feel about yourself and that you lack self-esteem. They can see there's a problem but aren't sure what it is about you and they back off.
The fact is you do have a personality, a sense of humor and people do and will care for you. You just have to believe it and think (as I know this is true) that you have all the qualities everyone else has to make friends. I just have to claim those qualities and friends as being mine. You'll soon find yourself with some as you brighten your outlook.
It's a fact right now that people do in fact like you. You have a group of people who have accepted you. They must see something they like but are frustrated you never get involved in the conversation or relax enough to have more fun.
You don't have to force things either because that's what you are doing. People don't be funny they are funny. Just be yourself and relax as a funny moment or a joke creates itself without you having to create it or force it. Act natural and don't worry about labels either.
The biggest thing you need to know is that these people are not concerning themselves with what they think about you. When you are with them they're likely wondering what you are thinking about them. How do you speak up? just be yourself and talk to people like you would your parents, siblings etc as it's no different and there's no pressure.
The best way to meet people you like is to host a party and get to know them well that way or invite them to hang out at the mall, bowling, a movie etc. As long as you are confident you have all the qualities that people cannot reist in friends and believe it you'll blossom here.
It is also my recommendation that you talk to your guidance counsellor and explain how shy you are and that you find it hard to speak up and make friends easily. He/she will help you with hints and tips about social skills. At the same time ask them to get you a position on student council.
You'll be in constant situations there where people will ask your opinion and get you to speak. This will give you the confince to always do it. It doesn't happen in a snap but if you work on these things listed above your world can do nothing but change.
How do I know? I was in your shoes once. If you believe in yourself as being someone people are attracted to you will be. They will see the change you'll not need to convince them. They might just come to you first.

I'm looking for something to do this summer that is community service. I really want to go to a place like New Orleans and build houses.
Can anyone give me the names of programs that are for teens (i'm 16) for over the summer.
Thanks so much!! (link)
|
If you haven't already visited the Habitat For Humanity page you might want to start with it at http://www.habitat.org/ You will be able to connect with a local chapter and see if they will allow you to work building houses with them with your family.
I've seen nothing to suggest that you need to be 18 to work with them on the web site but you should call their hotline number. Have you considered volunteering at your local hospital?
Hospitals all have volunteer programs that you can calll them about and see if they can use your talents in the administrative or other offices/depts. on a daily basis.
Also nursing homes or residences for seniors are in need of young people to visit seniors on a frequent basis who don't have family nearby or just to read to them.
Another interesting idea would be to call the museum in your city and or a local one if you're lucky to be in a small town and ask if you can volunteer with them. It's amazing what you could learn from working for them over the summer in a volunteer role with their professional staff.
Is there a cause that is close to your heart? You might be able to volunteer with the Cancer Society, Children's Wish Foundation etc. etc. in their offices. Try calling them if that's something you want to do.
Also look for the local chapters in your city/area of the Learning Disabilities Assoc. Of America. They always need clerical assistance and help with filing and mailing. It's not glamorous but you will learn an awful lot from it especially when it comes to tolerance and advocating for others.
Over the summer the political race for President will heat up going into the primaries next year. From what I know there will be organizations in your area or branches of the national campaigns for say Obama that could use youth to get out the vote etc. Check out their official web sites and see how you can help if politics is your thing.
Finally, if you write well or take awesome photos you might want to call your local paper up (the one that comes door to door with fliers not the daily as they've got pros) and ask if you can help them in their office by writing and or taking photos at events that the regular staff don't have time for.
I hope these ideas help you out.

ok so i think i have bacterial vaginoses( i cant spell hah) or maybe i just have a lot of discharge. but its gross and embarissing, i no a lot of teenagers. but i dont care, i dont want it, and i dont wanna tell my mom cause its embarissing, so is there any way to get rid of it without going to the doctors? pleaseeee help.
:[ (link)
|
Vaginal discharge is normal. It is your vagina's way of cleansing itself out. Every woman will and does have it. Trust me, if you told your mother she wouldn't even bat an eye as she experiences too as do all women.
The only time when discharge becomes an issue is if it's a weird color such as green for example, smells extremely bad, looks chunky like cottage cheese. If this is accompanied by itching, raw, sore genitals it's signs of infection or perhaps an STD if sexually active.
Below I have pasted a great article for you that explains the purpose of vaginal discharge and tells you what is healthy discharge versus bad discharge. you cannot get rid of the healthy kind but you sure can about the ones linked to infection and STD.
There's no need to see a gynaecologist over discharge unless you have the symptoms listed above. Here's your link to that article http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/femalehealth/discharge.html
You really should talk to your mother about it if it's something you are troubled about. While you think it's embarassing it really isn't as she knows all about this being a woman and all and probably had the same fears and concerns as you do when she was your exact same age.
When it comes to any aspect of your health be it sexual or otherwise and you need assistance you have to reach out to your parents inorder to check that everything is fine.

Hi.
After thinking long and hard about what I want to do with my life, I've decided I want to be a body piercer.
I love body piercings, and are facinated with them, so why not do something I love for a living?
Now, I've done some research and have came up with nothing, How do I get started with piecing?
I doubt you can walk into a tattoo shop and say, "Yo, I wanna be a piercer."
Is there any classes or anything I have to do?
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. (link)
|
Although you cannot walk into a tattoo shop and announce that you are there to be a piercer you can still talk to the people who work there.
You should pick a tattoo/body-piercing parlor out of the phone book and call them and tell them tat this is something you want to do. Let them know how old you are as well.
Ask them how you get into the business and what courses you might need. Some of them might be good enough to let you watch what they do and explain how it's all done as they do it.
I'm not sure what city you are in but if you ask me a question through my inbox I can provide you with information on the best people in your area to contact about this. I'm up on that info as well as Web sites on body piercing and tatoos.

I'm 15 and i just recently got pregnant by my boyfriend and after i told him i was pregnant he started acting all weird and i'm trying everything to make this thing work what should i do (link)
|
What you need to is tell your parents what happened. They're going to find out eventually anyway. Tell them that your boyfriend is acting strange about this and you fear he's not going to be very helpful in the long run.
They can confront his parents about this and insist that he take an active roll in caring for the baby once it's born and looking after you. Why can they do this? If he doesn't help you financially let alone at all he can be taken to court and him and his family forced to do so.
You can also terminate his rights as a father and bar him from seeing your child. When he is faced with reality he will be forced to take interest.
He may also just be acting weird with you right now as he has no idea what to do about this situation. He could be as scared if not more than you are and his reaction and or avoidance of you is because he's not yet ready to handle the issue and be responsible.
He could come around on his own and support you but if his behavior continues be sure your parents have a chat with his and or a lawyer on your behalf.

hi, well i desperately need money for something im saving up for. what jobs can i do, like on weekends that pay high, and are suitable for 15 year old. like handing out fliers etc? thanks (link)
|
Mst jobs for 15-year-olds don't pay all that well but are great experience and look good on a resume. I would forget about handing out fliers and or a paper route. It's a pain in the butt to be honest with you.
You have to get up really early in the morning in all kinds of weather to deliver them whether you like it or not. Quite often you don't even recieve over $100.00 a paycheck off of fliers or small local papers.
It's not worth it but you can make great money if ou deliver daily papers but would need a license and a car. What can you do? I would go to your local movie theatre and ask to speak with the manager. Apply for some weekend shifts and see if they'll hire you.
You will get paid minimum wage however, you'll have access to free movies and the cash adds up over time if you have a saving's account and use only a bit of cash at a time. Also suitable are fast-food places like McDonald's as it's a safe enviornment and pays well provided you do 3-4 shifts shifts such as Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
If you are looking to make a killing try babysitting. People who babysit as you know are paid by the hour and can make 100-200 a night depending where and how long the parents stay out. If you have multiple clients than it really adds up.
Mind you, this is easier for a girl to get a job at than a guy but still don't allow it to stop you. Parents are often desperate for someone to mind their kids. If you post fliers (with permission) at the library and your school bulletin board you should be able to attract a ton of clients.

hello, here in the UK none of the stores websites have the nintendo wii. everywhere has ran out! how long will it be before there wont be this instant cycle of putting in on shelves, then 20 minutes later, there being non left? thanks. (link)

Have you checked out auction sites such as Ebay? I find that the Wii is always up for auction on there by several sellers. That might be your ticket to getting one. Also check the classifieds of your local and daily paper as quite often people are selling brand new machines there like they are on Ebay.
You'll spend more but believe me as I have one that it's well worth the investment. We got ours from someone who was selling them in the classifieds of our daily paper.
The poster below is wrong about EB Games or Best Buy unless things have changed they will not allow people to reserve WII consules. It's all first come first serve. They usually only have 10-20 and there is lineups each morning in some areas (unless it died down) to see if they have any.
You need to keep checking the stores every day when they open and keep calling around to see if you can get one. You might luck out but I would use Ebay, the classifieds or online auction sites to get one.
How long will the cycle of having Wiis for 20 minutes at a store than having none left last? That's a question only Nintendo can answer at 1-800-255-3700 or nintendo.com
Sooner or later as more people end up buying them Nintendo will start flooding the market with WII consules as the hype and novelty will have worn off. Give or take this will occur in a few months if it hasn't just begun.

okey.. im 16 and my bf is 17. we've been going out for like 7 months now and my parents dont know. his parents do and theyre cool about it. the major problem is that my parents dont like him or his parents. im getting sick of them bad mouthing him all the time, callin him a dickhead and that. im afraid that if i tell them then i'll probably get hit and stuff. i dont want to keep it a secret anymore but im too afraid. my sisters and all my friends know it.. just not my parents (link)

Your parents have no right to hit you for any reason at your age. None. If they did you could go to your teachers or the authorities to have them warned.
It doesnt matter if your parents ike this guy and his parents or not. You like him and have chosen him to be your boyfriend. They can raise as much issues or fuss as they want but you are still going to be with him.
If you do not feel comfortable telling them you are seeing this boy than don't tell them. It is your choice and if your gut keeps telling you not to don't say anything to them.
The thing is that sooner or later they are likely to find out on their own as parents so often do. Wouldn't it be better coming from you than anyone else or by discovery? They would be more upset i think that you didn't tell them yourself than if you did tell them.
You also have a sister that will back you up and make sure nobody hits you. They can get in a lot of shit for that so I don't see it happening unless it's a typical reaction. I think you should tell them the truthg and get it out in the open.
They may not like it but at least they won't think you've snuck around all this time in the event they find out in another way. Trust your gut instincts though. They are always right.
