My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.

Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.

On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.

If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

umm what is the exact use of pubic hair? is it ok to shave it all off cuz i do every once in a while because to me i fell cleener ! is this good or bad ? i grow the hair back and keep it trimed especially wen i have a bathing suit on!! its just everonce in a while that i shave it all !! bad or good ? and wut it for? (link)
Pubic hair is there to prevent bad bacteria from getting to your vagina (I'm assuming you're a girl here).

A lot of people shave or trim. Any way you want is okay, different girls like different things.

You can trim the whole thing and shave your bikini line.
You can shave it all.
You can leave a trip or triangle at the top.

Anything! It won't hurt you.


Dizty Girls?
Pretty Girls?

Do they like smart girls? cause like today, he pulled out my math test which was a 98 and he was like "ha ur a f*cking smartass" But i dont like brag or anything, cause i hate bragging.

They like girls who make them laugh right?

Do they also look at smile, cause okay, i can smile and my teeth at pretty white except for one teeth which is yellowish, cause its a filling. and i hate it, so i like hate smiling in front of him...

Do they like girls with big eyes?

And lastly, do they liek girls who flirt. Cause im not the "extreme flirting type." cause i get nervous.

Thanks!!!!! (link)
Guys are just like girls...there isn't just ONE type that they all like. Different people are attracted to different things in people.

You can't MAKE yourself something you're not to get a guy to like you, because that never ever works.

Just be yourself and the right guy will come to you. If you're smart, be smart. If you don't like to flirt, don't.


ok so what does sperm taste like when you're giving a blow job. im willing to give my boyfriend a blowjob but im worried about the taste (link)
Salty, thick, bitter. You don't let it fill your mouth, you won't be able to handle that most likely. Tell him to try to ejaculate on a down stroke so his penis is at the back of your throat and when you swallow you won't be able to taste it that much.


I'm a 17 year old female and my prom is tomorrow night. I don't have a date, but I'm going with my best friend and another friend of hers (this was planned from about mid-year).

My problem is that I can't dance to save my life. I can follow if it's a slow song, but I can dance to anything fast. I just wasn't gifted with rhythm I guess. It's too late to learn now and I'm not willing to embarrass myself so here's my question:

What if someone asks me to dance? How do I say no without being rude or giving them the idea that I'm not or could never be into them. If I'm into the guy or interested, I don't want him to get the wrong idea and just walk away.

I know "No, thank you" isn't rude, but I don't think I could say that to someone. I don't want the guy to feel rejected. I may sound conceited, and if I do I don't mean it. I know being rejected by me wouldn't ruin the guy's evening and I probably won't get asked anyways, but I want to be prepared with something.

Thanks! (link)
That should be I CAN'T dace to anything fast. Sorry for the typo.


can someone clearly explain to me in detail exactly
what birth control does... like what's up with this whole
"skipped period" stuff! thanks! (link)
If you're sexually active...it keeps your from getting pregnant. If you're not, or even if you are, it regulates your periods so you get them exactly 1 month apart instead of skipping around. It also makes your cramps less horrible.


what in the world is 2nd base? (link)
Groping....below the shirt and such.


Okay I want kids when I grow up. But we just watched a movie in biology class that showed everything that happens when a woman gives birth... what I want to know is if it really hurts as much as it looked like it did. Right now I'm thinking of adopting because there is no way that I would ever want to do that and also I hate throwing up so the whole morning sickness wouldn't work for me. I'm only 16 and I don't want to have sex/have babies until I'm married, this is just something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Thanks (link)
Childbirth IS painful. In fact, many mothers say it was the most painful thing they've ever had to go through in their lives. But the SAME mothers would say the puking and pain and kicking was all worth it because of the child they gave birth too.

Adopting is always a good thing because too many children don't have homes, but that can cause a lot of drama and issues as well.

Personally, I don't want any kids...adopted or natural...but talk to you mother about this and she'll tell you all about it. I've never had a baby, so I can't tell you exactly what it feels like.

Also, you're 16, and you may change your mind about that in the future. If you aren't going to have sex until marriage, you don't have to worry about this right now. Just wait until the time comes.


hello i have just tryed a tampon for the first time and it was very hard to get out... it was still dry... my question is if i put it in in the evening..and it is still dry when i go to bed... can i wear it in bed?? (link)
You have to change your tampon every four hours or so or you're at risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome...which is REALLY serious. So you should try to remove it before bed if possible.


i keep trying to put up a picture but it keeps saying the filesize is too big but its only like 30kb am i doing something wrong? (link)
If I'm not mistaken it can't be bigger than 15kb. Try uploading it to photobucket or another site and putting in the link instead of uploading it from your computer. Worked for me.


How come during sex the women usually scream and the guys just like, whisper? Like porn (link)
The person below me is exactly right.

Porn is NOTHING like actual sex...it's just bad acting and phony tits. Some guys are quiet, some are screamers. Same with girls.

But if a guy is quiet or just grunts, it may be because some guys find it more masculine not to moan or scream during sex.

All guys are different in bed...just like women.


do guys expect to get a handjob or blowjob from their girlfriends? im 14/f, and i know it seems young or whatever, but there are soo many girls giving them to their boyfriends right now, so is it normal? (link)
No, it's not normal. You're way too young to even understand about the ANATOMY of a guy, let alone making him orgasm.

Those girls you described are what we like to call "sluts".

And a lot of guys don't just settle for a hj or a bj...they'll try to pressure you into sex...sometimes it can be by force.


i already have my hair cut like this, i was just wondering how to style my hair so it looks like this. because whenever i straighten mine it just gets all flat and i like how these girls have theirs:

Wash it, blow it all out with a big round brush after applying some volumizing mousse. Then straighten it. After that, apply some of that hair wax to your hair to make it stay where you put it and tease it at the roots and mess it up until you like the way it looks, then put in some hairspray all over, especially around the roots where it's up like that.


can hickeys cause cancer? (link)
No, the only thing hickeys cause is embarrassment.


today when i was taking a shower i noticed my one nipple was really dark, like almost black.. does anyone know why this could be? (link)
Discoloration of the nipples could be multiple things, I'm sure, but I do know it's a sign of breast cancer. Make an appointment with your doctor and do a self exam to check if you can feel any lumps.


do all black guys have big private parts
(link)
No, it's a total myth. There are well endowed white guys as well as small white guys. Similarly, there are well endowed black guys as well as small black guys. Same with Hispanic, Asian, Indian, etc guys. Race has nothing to do with penis size...though most black guys like to say it's true. ;)


im a 13/f and i have never kissed a boy in my life. I have never even gone out with a boy in my life. I have wavy brown hair and am about 5'4 with an athletic figure. I want to know if theres somthing wrong with me and why i cant get a bf. plz help me (link)
There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. I'm 17 and I've never had an official boyfriend...and I don't think there's anything wrong with me either. I could get a boyfriend if I WANTED one...I just DON'T. I have more important things to focus on right now.

I don't get a lot of guy attention because I'm shy and don't flirt or put myself out there. If you really WANT a boyfriend, you'll have to put some effort into it. Guys are TERRIFIED of rejection...which is why a lot of pretty girls don't have boyfriends.

Just remember, you never NEED a boyfriend...ever.


if i walked at a medium pace for 45 minutes, about how many calories would yuo estima i burned? (link)
It depends on how much you weigh. For example, a 130 lb person walking at 2.5 mph for 45 minutes is 139 calories. If you weigh less, it would be less. If you weigh more, it would be more.


Ok.I'm basically not skinny. I've tryed EVERYTHING to get it to go away. I've done dieting, but I keep on braking them, and I'm already in about 1 thosand sports. So I'm thinking about only eating lunch and a little dinner everyday, but I don't know how bad that is for me. Like for lunch, a salad, orange juice (which is nasty), and for dinner maybe only an apple. So should I do it or not? Plus, I need to know if I should do it or not, what should I do? (link)
That is definitely NOT healthy. The average person should consume between 1200-2000 calories a day. If you go any less than that, it is very unhealthy.

This is what I eat each day:

Breakfast:
-Bowl of cereal (Special K w/ Red Berries or Honey Bunches of Oats (plain, peach, or strawberry) or Raisin Bran Crunch
-OR 1 pack sugar free instant oatmeal with 2 splenda packets and a Light & Fit yogurt
-OR 2 multigrain blueberry waffles with sugar free syrup and yogurt
-OR 1 whole grain english muffin with sugar free strawberry jam
-OR 2 mini multigrain bagels with lite onion & chive cream cheese

Lunch:
-Low Sodium soup with a 100 calorie pack or light potato chips
-OR a sandwich made with light wheat bread, regular cheese, and low fat lunch meat with a low calorie pack

Snack:
-1 yogurt, 1 low sugar granola bar, and 1 calorie pack
-OR fruit of any kind

Dinner:
-I eat sensible portions of everything my mom makes. She uses real butter and everything, but I don't count calories so I just include it in my daily diet.

Snack:
-1 pack low calorie popcorn
-OR 1 rice cake and a no sugar added apple sauce


I also jog/power walk over a mile (20 minutes) 5 days a week and do extra exercises such as squats, crunches, etc. 3 times a week.

You just have to eat sensibly and watch your portions. Eat low-fat/light everything, whole grains, fruits and veggies, etc.

However, I do all of this to MAINTAIN my weight. I only do it 5 days a week and on the weekends I eat whatever I want.

I also had a weight problem for a while and dieted and all that and it never stuck. You could try Atkins...that was the first diet I had the willpower to stick with and I lost almost 30lbs while on it. The only reason I switched to low-cal instead of sticking with low carb was I eventually got sick of meat, eggs, cheese, broccoli, green beans, spinach leaves, and peanut butter.

Change is always good. The important thing is to eat healthy and exercise. Health is the most important part.


Hi, I'm not the person who asked, but you know the question about the person who got banned for saying sperm dies when it hits the air? They got banned because people trust columnists to give them accurate advice. If a columnist says sperm dies when it hits the air, the questioner (lol) might decide not to use birth control and end up pregnant. Inaccurate information like that can harm people. So, yeah, that's why.

You don't have to reply, just letting you know. (link)
I was just assuming it was a regular message board. Did he say he was an admin? If he was just a member, it's still ridiculous. People don't get kicked off of this site for saying stupid inaccurate stuff. People are wrong sometimes.


For the first time I tried weed.

i only took one hit though

i did it march 24th 07 and today is April 12th 07

Do you think its still in my system?

p.s. i havent done any drugs since (link)
Generally weed stays in your system for 30 days, but it's different for everyone. Some people can take a puff off of a joint and pass a drug test a week or so later. There's no definite answer to this question...no matter what anything thinks they know.

I did research. :)
