Go to start, then all programs. Windows Movie Maker should be there. If it isn't, open up explorer and click search, then type in Windows Movie Maker. Most computers just have it.

Most people say once you have sex it means your not a virgin anymore..and some people say once you had been fingered and not had sex means your not a virgin either is that true?

Both are true, yet at the same time, neither one is. It depends on what you think and how you define virginity. In other words, it's all personal preference.

I was recently with my boyfriend for 5 days straight all alone, and we had sex many many many many times...and we of course knew that there were possibilities of having a baby.

I was wondering if the number of times you have sex in a period of time increases your chance of pregnancy...or if it just doesn't really matter?

Well, say there is a bag filled with blue marbles and white marbles. The more times you put your hand in, the more chances you have to pull out a blue marble. So yeah, it increases your chances. But having sex many times won't make you pregnant faster than somebody who only had it once. It all depends on where your egg is at the moment (ie, if it's right before your period). If you're nowhere near your period, you are probably not pregnant.

I recently got a dvd burner and know there is some way to over ride the copyright protection on it so I copy DVDs but I dont know how. Help would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows decent sites to download free movies to burn that arnt infested with spywear and etc let me know.

Uh, you can't. Even if you somehow found a way, it's severely illegal.

what does dyke mean? because on mean girls in the burn book they said janice was a dyke? whats that?.... rate high for good answers!

Lesbian. Please don't use it, though. It's considered ultra-mean. Like, it's the equivalent of using the N word for a black person.

so i am a female at age 13 going on 14. and about a month ago when i was working on a project with two guys(nerds). anyways he started asking why i had a mastache. and yes everyone has hair their but it shouldnt be noticable like this is? how do i get rid of this problem?
please dont say ignore them

Well, there are many ways. The best way is to get it electrically removed, because it never comes back but it's REALLY EXPENSIVE.

Second best, I think, would be to wax it. There are plenty of waxing products you can buy. Always ice your face afterwards, because it can sting.

Dying just makes it lighter, so if somebody is really close they might still notice it.

You could also shave it, just be careful not to cut yourself.

I'm 24 years old, going on 25 and I've never had a boyfriend, I've been on dates, if you want to call taking me to McDonald's as a date...anyway, everytime I see my friends or even relatives smooching or cuddling with their significant other it puts me down, it's like a slap in the face. I've never even experienced my first kiss yet. Everyone knows how I feel and everytime they say again and again "Don't worry, you're turn will come", I am so fed up with hearing that! Any advice you can give me?

Stop waiting for it. Waiting works for some people, but others have to go out and get it. Imagine yourself waiting in line for something, and everybody who comes along steps in front of you. You've been waiting, but you can't go forward because every time the line moves, someone cuts you, so obviously that approach doesn't work. You need to be assertive, have confidence in yourself. Next time you're on a date, or with a guy who's "just a friend", ask HIM if he wants to be your boyfriend. I know you might think, "What if that scares him off?" but you have to try because honestly, what do you have to lose?

Well I like this guy, Zach & he likes me, well I thought he did. Then we went to this thing our school has it is kalled a Varitey Show it is used to earn money and one of my friends Daniel is there and so was his cousin (Justine) She is really gross she wears no make up and boy clothes and she has greasy hair and it smells like sweat and I had somone tell me that he likes her. & I dont like to make the moves I am pretty sure I he knows I like him but I am not sure. I dont know what to do about Justine she is a gross like bitch (excuse my french) I think she should die.
Please help..

I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. That would be a lie, and I think it's time for you to wake up. This problem isn't so much about a guy as your own self esteem issues. You need to get over yourself. By being this shallow you are only hurting yourself. Take a good long look at yourself, inside and out. If you don't like Justine, avoid her. But don't hate her because she isn't perfect. You're not, either.

And maybe Zach, like myself, finds hatred unattractive in a person. Seriously, you need to let the love in, because you don't gain anything from wishing death on people.

This may be a stupid question to some, but I thought I might as well ask it.

Is telling a guy you like him really as easy as some people make it sound? I mean, I'm pretty confident and outgoing, but with guys, I can be pretty shy.

I like a certain guy... I mean, I'll talk to him and stuff, but I can't tell him I like him unless I KNOW he likes me, too. I doubt he likes me back, personally. But some people are just like, "Tell him!" and I don't know if I should. So... should I, how, and is it that easy? Thanks in advance.

The actual act of telling him IS really easy. The hard part is building up the confidence to do so, and it's really, really hard. Harder than trig, even. You may consider writing him a note, which does take some of the pressure off. Or perhaps squeezing your eyes shut and tensing your whole body up for a minute, then slowly relaxing, just before you do it. You don't have to make eye contact with him, which also helps some. And it's okay to sound awkward at first, for example, randomly shouting "I LIKE YOU!" in a freakishly loud voice. After that, you can calm down and it will be easier to say "I've been to shy to tell you, but I have a crush on you, blah blah blah." in your normal person voice. There's no way to make it easy...just less hard.

Jesus, I just got back from the Spelling bee. I had been studying like a fiend the night before (From 4:00pm-10:00pm), I had the whole Paideia memorized, and I was almost sure that I would be headed for Washington D.C. in a few months. OMG! GODDAMNIT! It was the first round, and they gave me a really easy word, and I completely forgot the word. The word was "notary." Isn't that an easy word? I bet everyone here can spell that word. I just blanked out on that word and forgot. They rang a little bell, and that signified that I was the 4th person out on the 1st round. I suddenly remembered how to spell the word when they rang the bell, but it was too late. I lost.

All of that hard work----flushed down the toilet. If it weren't for that stupid word, I know I could have won. I have never lost a spelling bee in my life. I need to talk.

Anyone who at least tries to make me feel better gets a 5

Don't beat yourself up about it. You're HUMAN. You messed up, and you're probably going to mess up again. That's what humans do. Nobody is perfect. And there are tons of people who have never WON a spelling bee in their whole life. Oh, and being able to spell is actually a special gift. There are a lot of people, really SMART people, who can't spell to save their lives. It's something you either have or you don't.

And if that doesn't make you feel better, http://www.amybrownart.com/g_originals_01.asp has some wonderful pictures of faeries.

Or, if you don't like faeries, you may consider www.iloveegg.com. Even if you don't like eggs, you'll probably enjoy this site. It is too weird for anybody to hate. I suggest viewing it in English ;)

i need teens to answer this only please!!
anyway so i have this perverted frien who likes to look at you know pictures and sites and stuff of women and he is only like 15. He is my really good friend but he is getting really perverted. I don't not want to be with him and i've already talked to him about his "habit" what should i do?

There's really nothing wrong with it. At our general age, we have a LOT of hormones. A teenager's sex drive is at his or her peak at this time. It's natural for him to be curious about sex and/or the female body. And it's okay for him to enjoy what he sees. When we look at pictures, our bodies react. For example, a picture of a kitten might make someone feel physically good, whereas a picture of a dead kitten might make them cry. Being horny isn't perverted at all, it's just another mood like sadness and good cheer. I don't mean any offense by this, but it really sounds more like your problem than his. If he's sexually harassing you that's one thing, but if all he's doing is looking at porn, that's really his business. I understand that you're concerned for your friend, but it's not hurting him (although this is up for debate), and it's most likely not hurting you. Trust me, if you stop worrying about it, the problem will go away.

And just to reassure you, I've been reading pornography for five years now and nothing bad has happened.

EDIT-Thanks for the advice, but I really don't care if you find me attractive or not.

Hello there i'm having problems getting pregnant, we've been trying for over a year and i still have had no results. i don't don't understand what is wrong with me. i do have irregular periods and when seem to be ontime i always watch my fertile days and all but still no luck. What can i do to speed things up? please help!!

Well, you and your partner should see a doctor. But it doesn't sound like anything really horrible. Worst case scenario, you won't be able to reproduce. But you can still have a child! You might want to get used to the idea of adoption, just in case it is the worst case scenario.

I went to the doctors yesterday, im 5'6 and weigh 210 lbs(f) I know it's wicked bad. I know what i have to do and i am doing it. Im just really self conscious. I dont even look that heavy, cus im really muscular. Im just worried that a boy will never like me. Will they? please help

OF COURSE THEY WILL!

Stupid, shallow boys might think you're unattractive. But they don't matter one bit.

Some boys won't like you, and that's the way it goes. But some will! It's impossible to have EVERYBODY not like you. Just have confidence, and don't stand around waiting for a guy to like you. It doesn't work like that. You have to talk to guys in order for them to think anything about you.

Tell your favorite teacher. It's always best to be able to talk about these things with people.

And next time he says it, say "Thanks. Elephants are cool."

It's true, see?

That way, you can stand up to him without hurting anyone, and it will build your confidence.

How can you tell if a girl has a potential interest in you and does resting her head on your shoulder signify anything? Also, what if she lays with you on the grass with her head resting on your stomach without a care in the world of what a group of friends think?

Rick- Age: 18 / Gender: Male

That's how I would act with a guy that I liked. However, everybody is different. If you really want to know, just ask her if she wants to be your girlfriend. Or if you want to go slow, ask her if she likes you, and then move up to asking her out. Unless you don't like her. In which case, just tell her to stop doing it because it makes you uncomfortable. You have NOTHING to lose by asking her. Also, if you want to know what your friends think, ask them. They are the only ones who know what they think.

What does the saying "Eat your heart out" mean?

Basically it means, "I'm better than you." Like if I did a really cool dance and then looked at a snobby girl I didn't like and said, "Eat your heart out.", I would be saying, "Hahahahahaaa I'm a better dancer than you are nah nah, loser..." and so on.
