im kind of confused by the way my boyfriend acts. most of the time it seems like he really likes me. at school, we ate lunch together every day and he always walked with me to class. now that its summer, he calls me every day and always wants to hang out. he's super affectionate when we're alone together, and also when we're around a few of his guy friends, or with another couple. but the weird thing is... whenever we're at a big party or with a whole bunch of people, he kind of ignores me. he leaves me by myself while he runs around and flirts with other girls. its like, when other girls are around, he doesnt want to act like he likes me. what do you think this means?? btw we're both 13 and have been going out for 1 1/2 years.
Although I agree with what both the other people have said I just wanted to say sdcutie717 is actually right - guys don't have all that much brainpower - especially when it comes to... well... actually it's at pretty much anything. :/ Yup, we're stupid by nature. :]

For the last few months I have been absolutely harassed by a variety of people. It is no longer avoidable or ignorable and I am sick of this. I have been hit in the back of the head, grabbed by the wrist and have been in numerous verbal arguements. I can`t go outside without being called a slut and harassed. The newest little "ring-leader" of the pack has been trying so hard lately to bring my friends and I down.
Tomorrow is our last day at school (we just pick up report cards and yearbooks) and I know she's going to try to "accidentaly walk into me." I am going to grab her by the throat, get up her face and tell her to leave me alone. That`s not all though, it's going to be a fight and I can no longer avoid this harassment. They are jealous of me and I am not the typical shy, loner "type" who is "bullied."
The situation of fighting is entirely new to me, but what else do I do. Where is best to punch her if she makes it into a full on fist fight. I have to stand up for myself here, I have had enough. No, talking this out isn't an option she needs to be put in her place. I am interested in full on aggressive behaviour for this.
Thanks, help is appreciated!
I personally despise bullies and agree there is a time when it gets beyond being able to talk it out and resolve it and comes down to just showing the person or persons that you're not goin to take their shit anymore. I've been there myself and it was what I had to do and even though I didn't hit the guy even nce I got my point very clearly across and it came to a stop after that.
If she does get in your face as you say she might... and I do stress the word IF (DON'T go out looking for a fight), then do what you said. Grab her, throw her against the wall and tell her to back the f*@% off because you're starting to get very impatient with her constant crap. Say it like you mean it (which I've no doubt you will anyway) and just that alone should do the job and you won't need to do anything else. say it, look her in the eye when you do and walk away. If she starts anything after that then fair enough (which might come to where you may have to defend yourself) otherwise just leave it at that - you'd have made your point and got the message across your not going to tolerate it anymore.
When you walk away just watch your back - incase she decides to run up and grab you from behind. I suggest you also wear no earings, try have our hair tied back so it doesn't get all over the place or in your face and no rings of any kind. Although many will say they will do great if you hit someone soft metal in rings bends very easily so even though the other person might suffer some minor cuts from your ring you'll be the one with a crushed finger trapped by a metal ring (it's not a nice sight). If it gets to a fight protect your face and your head and punch with a fully clenched fist (practice is always a good idea). Just be warned that getting into a fist fight if you hither wrong you can injure yourself as well. You may suffer a broken wrist, fractured knuckles and injuries such as these especially if you hit wrong so be forewarned of this. Just keep your guard up, keep your balance and take a hit when you see an opening. Other than this I can't really advise much else because it's hard to show someone how to defend themselves through a web site in 5 mins. :[ Good luck though and just remember what I said at the start - AVOID A PHYSICAL CONFRONTATION IF YOU CAN. It should only resort to that as a last resort and only as a means of self defence.
Let me know how things go.

um im getting teen vogue for the first time.. is it a good magazine for 13 year old girls? it looks pretty sophisticated but i got this deal in the mail and it looks pretty cool.. i put the stuff im supposed to put in the envelope, but on the envelope, im confused.. how do they know where the mail came from? how do they know where to send it back to? it doesnt say my house number or anything.. i dont want to just mail it and not get anything back! so like.. is it supposed to be that way and theres some secret method how they know which thingy goes for your house or do i just write in a random spot my address? thanks.
and what types of styles are in teen vogue normally? and dont tell me to go on the site.. i did but... idk i just like peoples opinions better. is it true that they show really expensive clothes? cause im not that rich so i cant afford like 100 dollar pants all the time. and do they have things in there for black people too? like i dont want it to be those magazines that like.. no offense, but like when they show hairstyles they make it only for white people and i cant make my hair like that since im black, and my hair isnt permed.
IMPORTANT:
MY MAIN QUESTION IS THAT DO I HAVE TO WRITE MY ADDRESS ON THE ENVELOPE THEY GAVE ME? OR DOES IT HAVE SOME SPECIAL CODE ON THE LETTER SO THAT IT KNOWS IT CAME FROM MY HOUSE?
its the type of mail that says "business reply mail, first class.." and then like it says the location of teen vogue, and some thingy that says "no postage necessary if mailed in the united states". im also wondering if i need to put a stamp on it...................
Hi.
I can't really give you any details on the magazine itself since I don't read it (or know of it since I'm not in the USA) but you won't need a stamp on the envelope since it says no postage is necessary if it's being mailed within the USA. Also, the documents you had put into the envelope, doesn't any of them contain your name and address? As long as the paperwork on the inside has that information (at the least, your address) you should be okay and they'll know where to send the magazine out to. You can if you want, write your own address on the BACK of the envelope as well for safety (not sure it works the same there or not but if a letter is undelivered over here it generally gets sent back to 'if undelivered' address on the back. Personally I don't think you'll have this problem though so it should be okay. :]

i dont really pay attention to ratings because i just started but i gave someone a detailed answer and he gave me a 3. its not so much his rating its his comment:
Thank you for your answer. I would give you a 4 but you didn't capitalize. Otherwise it was a good answer.
what does capitalizing have to do with anything?
Although I agree with what most people have said here about being neat and not making any errors and such I have to say that picking on little things like capitalizing is just petty. People come here for advice and people deliver that advice out of their own time. I personally don't come here to have the way I write critisized or corrected. I use a laptop presently and typing on this is extremely hard (especially since I type fast) so I make a good few errors along the way be it spelling or spaces missing in between words. If I pick up on them I correct them but as long as what I've written gets across to the other person clearly I don't think of it as a major issue. Obviously typing in some slang or writing in very bad grammer makes it very hard to read (all caps is also annoying on the eyes) but otherwise I think the capitalize thing is just being picky.
I do find it ironic that some people have the time to critisize the advice their getting, after someone may have gone through the trouble of looking up what they asked for, especially when most of the time they could have found the answer their looking for themselves just by opening a page on google and taking the time to search themselves.

Is it possible to overdose on marijuana? I'm f/16/47kg and very small. I was at a mates place on the weekend and they were passing round a homemade bong. I had tried it smoking weed in a very small dose before and nothing ever happened. I smoke cigarettes but even after one I feel dizzy for a few minutes. So anyway I smoked a cone and about 2 minutes after I did it I started tripping out so badly and I was panicking and I didn’t know what I was doing or saying and I didn’t know what was real. I couldn’t see and I think I kept slipping in and out of consciousness. I didn’t know how long it had been happening or what I was doing. It felt like I was having a stroke. It was the worst feeling ever. My head was hot and fuzzy, I couldn’t see, it felt like I was blacking out, my ears and mouth felt like they were bleeding, I had pins and needles everywhere and my thumbs and forearm muscles were clenched so tightly I had no control over my muscles. I had to get my friend to massage my arms and help me drink water. I didn’t know if I was hot or cold. People had to keep talking to me so I would stay awake. I was so scared. So what happened to me? Is it possible to overdose? Why did this happen?
An overdose from marijuana is possible but it should be noted that it would take a VERY loarge amount to do this. to give you an example of how much is needed - imagine the amount a person would need to get stoned. Then imagine that amount multiplied by 40,000 times, that's how much you'd need to take to overdose (the ratio for alcohol is 1-4 and 1-10 and 5000+ people die from alcohol overdose every year). It's safe to say there has never been an incident of a person dying from an overdose from marijuana.
However, what happen to you was just the effects of the drug, which sounds pretty bad to say the least. Not everyone reacts to them the same and it doesn't always have the exact same effect. It's certainly a lucky thing you had friends close by who you trust otherwise with the state you were in, things could have been a lot worse. Personally I would suggest not bothering with the stuff again but that would be your own choice.
Hope all that was able to help (and glad your okay too). :]

okay so this is really important!
im not used to guys liking me
im 16 and never been on a date or kissed or anything
so this guy on myspace that lives about 20 minutes away from me added me and he didnt talk to me for like a month but he did about 40 minuts ago and we were talking and now he wants to go to a movie with me. i think hes cute, but i dont know him so im not sure if i like him. and hes 5'6 and im 5'9 and im not height shallow i just like the idea of dating a guy whos my hight but i think thats the least of my worries. my parents would freak if they thought that i was gonna go hang w/ a guy i dont know. my best friends said that they wouldnt let me go alone, just incase something happens, i dont think hes a dirty old man, but you can never be too careful. i dont want to say no and him think im not interested b/c i am, im just scared b/c things like this dont happen to girls like me. i really want some advice on this, i have no idea what to do. sorry this was so long but im like freaking out here!
A person on the internet or someone you don't know doesn't have to be an old man to be dangerous. Even someone who's your age (maybe even younger?) could be just as dangerous.
Best thing to do is to tell him you'd like to get to know him better first by talking to him. Chat to him online - talk to him on the phone if you need to but get to know him better first before agreeing to meet up. If he really does like you then he will appreciate that you are just being careful. Even when you do meet him in person do so in a group or with a friend just to be on the safe side and see how things go from there. There's no reason why you shouldn't play it safe.

I was always wondering how you create your own web page, and design it and stuff. And free webs isnt what im talking about. If you know anything, I would appreciate your advice. THANKSSSS.
It's a little hard to explain on here but I think the best thing to start with (and learn) would be basic HTML. Starting with that you can work your way up to more advanced methods and techniques as you get to grips with the language. It's surprisingly easy to learn (I managed to learn it all in about 4 days starting with the bare basics).
I can't list any siters for you specifically but doing a search in something like google for 'learning basic html' should produce a good number of results where you can check them out. :]

So this September, my mom and I have decided we're going to take a cruise to Bermuda. There is only one thing that is holding us up to buy tickets, finding someone to come (as in one of my friends). Well, the problem is I don't have a LOT of friends, but I have a good amount; and none of them can afford this. So I would like my boyfriend to come along, and I have been with him for 1 year and 9 months; so it is not like she doesn't know him. (I'm 15/f he's 17/m) Well, I'm having difficulties on how I should prove to her that she can trust us. April of 2006, I had a pregnancy scare, and she has mostly given us our trust back. But, since then, my period has been regular, never late, and I have not done anything with him for her to not trust us since that one mistake. I've also been helping her out around the house a bunch for the past few months. So I think these things should prove to her that I am responsible now, and I know what to do and what not to do. I've been honest with her about everywhere that me and my boyfriend have gone, and what we have done while we were out. He is the only one that can afford to go on this cruise with my us. Also, on September 18th, it will be our 2 year anniversary, so I think it would be a great way to spend our anniversary. He will be 18 by then, and I will still be 15, but I'll be turning 16 in November. So my question is, what can I or my boyfriend and I do to get her to allow us to go together on this cruise?
Thank you so much, and thank you for taking your time to read.
Hi.
To be honest there's not really going to be anything you or your boyfriend can if your moms answer is a straight no - the kind that won't change no matter what. The thing with trust is that it's very easy to lose but one you have it can take a very long time to earn it back and even then - all you do is earn the trust back, not erase what previously happen. This might be exactly what's holding your mom back from letting him come along as well. I think the best way to go about it is to talk to your mom about this. It's really going to be the only way so you can find out why she doesn't want him to go (it may not even have anything to do with what happen between you both) and you'll be able to try and find a solution from there. It might be that your mom is the one you need to tell about how you made a mistake but you learned from it and you're not going to be making that mistake again, as well as how honest you've been with your mom about everything since then.
If your mom is afraid of what might go on between you both then I find it a rather negative thing to focus on given the circumstances. You'll be going away WITH your family as well as your boyfriend so I don't see why there should be any concerns about you both getting up to no good over there when you could very well do the exact same thing where you are now and just lie about it. Not saying you are lying but I hope you see what I mean. :] Hope you manage to talk it out and get it sorted out though.

What is the difference between freckles and moles? Im confused because my dad said moles are raised, but in a magazine they should a healthy mole that didnt appear to be raised.
Thanks.
Hi. The best way to describe the two are by example. So...
Freckles:
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/85/250px-Freckled.jpg
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Freckles_by_greyman.jpg/800px-Freckles_by_greyman.jpg
Said to be the 'kisses of Angels'. They are not raised at all and are generally darker than the normal skin colour of the person (like tanned skin but this can vary between each person. Some people will have lots of freckles and others will have very little and I believe the only way to get rid of them is through lazer surgery (much like getting rid of a tattoo). Freckles are not any kind of condition or anything like that (just thoguht I'd add that). :]
Moles can vary and some can be raised and others are not so raised but your dad is correct in what he said. Most people have moles that are very small or not raised that much at all (in a magazine pictures are edited as well as the makeup that's gone into the person who is having their picture taken - they can make them appear however they need them to appear). One person I know who has a mole who I can think of off the top of my head is Robert De Niro...

Okay so for soccer we have to follow a training program to get in shape for next year. Pretty much right now it is something like 40 minutes to an hour of running a day. Now I went from doing nothing at all for exercise, to doing this everyday. I'm approxamately 140 pounds and 5'5. I'm not fat, but I got a chubby stomach and legs, and I've never been in really good physical condition. My question is when will I start seeing results? Like how soon? I have just completed the first week. I've also been eating well. I know I can't get a definite answer, an estimation would be lovely. =]
Thanks
Hi. It really depends on the person to be honest since everyone is different so,as you said, there's no definitive answer to your question. However, I would give it at least a good 3-6 months to see how things go. Some people find it very, very difficult to lose weight whereas others can loose it very quickly. As I said, all depends on the person. Keep a record for yourself and that way you can keep a track of what you are loosing every week/month to see how effective your current diet and exercise routine is for you. :]

i dont want this to sound bad of me, but my boyfriend doesnt want to have sex with me. we used to have great sex all of the time, but he won't now.
recently, he got ill but doesn't know what caused it, and it's lasted for over 2 weeks now. since then, he just hasn't been interested in sex.
why is this? like, could he be sick and not want it or can it be possible that he isn't interested in me anymore? we have been together for 2 1/2 years.
Hi. Don't worry about him not wanting you more because this is a pretty common thing at times. I've been there myself as well. Being ill so long does take a toll and can make ost lose interest in sex (being ill is generally depressing). If he is still ill just give him time but if he's recently recovered from it just give him a little time to adjust again to not being ill and to fully recover (including the recovery of his sex drive) and things should be back to normal. If you are still worried though you should try talk to him about it. You've both been together a long time so I think being open with each other on things like these would be easy to do. Good luck. :]

what was the website i could go to for the threesome?
Hi.
Here is the site. It's a forums, so it will take some time to find a contact that you want as well as one that might be in your area.
http://forum.literotica.com
I was introduced to the forums through a friend in Texas who writes a lot of stories for the site and there's a lot of friendly people on there so hopefully your boyfriend and yourself can find someone really nice on there (try the literotica personals forums section). If there's no-one there then by all means feel free to ask if there's anyone on there that would be interested. :] Good luck and sorry this was the only site I could recommend. There's loads out there but this is the only one that I know of that is genuine.

I seriously gonna miss you like a fat kid on a diet misses cake haha cheesy and also im gonna miss your perkiness and your sense of humor. I’m really really sorry when I tried to avoid you these days, like when I tried to keep distance myself from you, I was just upset that your leaving and I didn’t really wanna get close/attached or talk to you because of it (obviously you noticed it and you were right) but I kept denying that I was trying to drift away from you. But now, I seriously regret what I did and I thought it was stupid for me to do that because what I did was just wasted time and making myself more sad and yeah. Anyways, I just wanna appreciate for everything, you are one of the greatest person I ever met seriously and I remember how we met in 8th grade it was at lunch Mehreen said hi to me and you were like “Hi Princess I like you name” lol and guess what that’s when I first saw number 1 and I thought he was cute so I had a eye on him but I stopped and you know why wink wink* but damn I learned a lot of stuff from our deep talks hella expert on things like poetry, poems keep it up “love counselor” haha seriously though and “lucky charm”(number 1) I also enjoyed talking to you about guys sexiness and secrets and your interesting stories. Thanks for helping me whenever I had a problem you give out a good advice but I regret it when I don’t listen to your advice because it comes up true and all, and I just wanna say that thanks for being great friend, I hope you will find your happiness at Philippines and don’t forget that I’m here for you ALWAYS even though Im not good at advices and all that but I will try my best to help you out anytime also don’t forget to keep your head up and be strong I hope ill see you someday.

Wow, very nice letter. :] I loved that PS part at the end, hehe. I made some corrections for you so it should be okay now but I didn't want to change it any more than I had to since it will lose it's meaning, since it's from you. Sorry if I changed anything you didn't want changed though. I added a little quote at the end for you to include. :] If you will be seeing your friend before they leave try write the letter out to give to them, if you can (unless you was going to anyway). :D

ok, i have gf but everytime i make out with her i get an erection, and it bothers me because i keep thining it might rub against her or something, is there a way to prevent this?
Not really... it's a natural reaction to you getting aroused by the kissing (happens to me also, just so you know you're not the only one, lol). If it rubs against her by accident then you shouldn't worry, after all she is your girlfriend and she may even find it flattering that all she had to do was kiss you to get you so worked up. :P On the other hand it might shock her. Best way to hide it I think would be to wear something very loose so you can hide it more easily. The only other way to prevent it alltogether would be to try control your thoughts whilst kissing her. Think of something else - something totally different and it should prevent it, hopefully. It's the only thing I can really recommend that might prevent it alltogether from happening.

ok so to make a long story short- my best friend was going out with a guy (we'll called him X) and he wrote a note to her saying something about her butt. (she didn't tell me the exact words) and her parents found out about it and so they made her never to see him again or talk to him.
well some kids from our school went on a road trip and me and X were in the same group. Since they had to break up, i kept in touch with X and texted him often. Since my friend was my best friend and i really cared about her, i tried to get them back together.
during the trip, me and X really got to know each other and he asked me out. I said yes and we were a happy couple. we held hands, he put his arm around me, said he loved him, hugged me, touched my butt...
well then during the ending of our trip i got a text from him saying he was confused when he first asked me out because he said i wasn't his type and that he still has feelings for my best friend.
this guy was my first boyfriend and i was heart broken so i cried. i was so mad at him. then when we came home my best friend said that she knew he would do something like this. she encouraged me to forget about him and still be friends with him.
*sigh* ok so now all 3 of us are friends and are planning to go to the movies together this week.
my question is.... was he using me on the trip??? or did he really love me?
THANKS SO MUCH! YOU'VE BEEN A BIG HELP AND I'M SORRY IF THIS WAS SO LONG
I'd hate to say it but it seems all he was doing was using you. It could have been for two different reasons though. Either just for someone to 'have' on the trip with him or as a rebound from your friend (even though they wern't officially going out were they?). Either way, I'd say he was just using you (you don't fall in love with someone just like that - it just seemed like he was saying what you wanted to hear and not what he actually felt) so best thing you can do is just forget about him. If you still want to keep him as a friend then by all means do so but be aware for next time he tries something like that with you. It seems your friend had also known he would do this exact thing too which goes to show he may not exactly be as lovely as he seems. I don't even know him (nor would I want to) but I say you can do better than this guy any day. I know it was a bad first experience for you and you got your heart broken as well for which I'm sorry but don't let one jerk mess it up for you. Not all guys out there are like that (most but not all). :]

my boyfriend and i want to try something new with our sexual life- a threesome.
i don't want to with one of my friends and he doesn't have any female friends.
where can we find someone who will try this with us? and would we be safe using a condom, or can you still get STDs with those?
You should be safe with condoms but bare in mind that you'd also need to be more careful if it's three of you (1 guy and 2 females). This is because the only one really protected will be your boyfriend. If he has intercourse with the third girl and then with you straight after he could very well pass on something from her to you. For this reason I strongly suggest that you opt to have the third person you want to do this with to have a medical checkup to make sure she's clean. It will only be doing yourself as well as your boyfriend a good thing. Also, a condom will be little protection if, for example, a blowjob is performed. Any cuts in the mouth are a way to pass on germs and STD's. FOr this reason I suggest being safe and everyone getting tested before hand. This way you all will know everyone else is safe (since the third person you ask to join may well want the same assurances). THese are the kind of checks that are undergone by porn stars as well to ensure they are all safe and clean. :]
As for where to meet someone. I know of a web site that you can try out where you may find someone (it's not an instant thing but it's the only one that I know of) and the people on there are generally very friendly. It would be the ideal place I think. Please send me a message to my inbox. To do this go to my column and then click on the 'Ask Questions' button. In the new window it should say at the top you are asking ammo a question. If this is there then you're at the right place. Please just remind me who you are and to send you the link to the site I mentioned on here and I will do so through a private message. This is just to avoid advertising the site to minors on this site. :]

I've been on a lower fat/low calorie diet for a number of months now, but it seems like since about a month ago it hasn't been working, like my body is storing everything and I can't get pounds to come off anymore, no matter how low my caloric intake is. And I exercise from 20-60+ minutes per day. (yesterday i only had 1300 HEALTHY calories and worked out more than usual, but today I woke up and i was 3 pounds heavier) :[
I've heard about Alli, the weight loss pill, and I really think that it could help me. I understand how it works and everything but I'm not sure if it's safe. Because all other weight loss pills are recalled for being harmful, after they've been out for a while.
My mom is SO against weight loss pills because she thinks they're all bad and unsafe, so how can I get this Alli without her knowing, or how can i convince her to get it? Will pharmacies sell over-the-counter pills to minors? I can't even drive.
If not alli, can you please reccomend some other weight loss pill/supplement that might help me?
ps: i know i'm just 14, but my body has finished developing and i'm as tall as i'm ever going to be. so that might be a factor?
any advice appreciated. thanks.
I did a quick read up on the Alli pill and although they are ot restricting sales to minors (that is, not asking for ID) they do advise it NOT be used by anyone under the age of 18. I strongly suggest if you want to use it you at least consult your family doctor about it first to make sure you'll be able to do so safely. Also, it will depend on your curent weight too. If you are overweight then you may gain some advantage from taking it but if you're not and all you want to do is tone up (as such) then I would strongly be against you taking it. It would just be a waste of money. The drug is also ONLY effective as part of a healthy diet and xercise program. IT WILL NOT WORK ON ITS OWN! It's very important you know that. If you are not loosing much at all at the moment give yourself some time, you won't notice differences overnight. Even with this Alli pill it can take up to 6 months to notice any changes.
Your mom has good reason to be concerned with diet pills since most do more harm than good but Alli seems to be relatively safe (at least for now). I'm not sure how you would get it behind your moms back, if that's even a good idea at all. It would make sense to have your moms blessing in taking them but I will leave that at your discretion.
As for trying to convince your mom that might be your best bet. I think talking to your doctor, as I said, with your mom there would be a good thing to do. But bare in mind here that he/she may even advise against you taking them and if that's the case you should bare in mind that they would only do so if they thought it was for a good reason. Other than that there's lots of information about the pill online (since it's the first of it's kind that's been allowed to be sold over the counter) so you should be able to show your mom a lot of informationregarding it and as to it's safety. :] Hope I was able to help a little.

I when over to my friends house, (A). She asked if it was ok if she smoked in front of me. I said no, it's ok, i guess. When she sis, i just stared. I've heard of smoking, duh, but never have I seen it two feet in front of me. So, stupidly I asked to try. (A) said no. I kept asking out of curiousity, knowing that it'll still hurt me. Finally, (A) said, ok. I tried it and it was terrible! I hated it. I started coughing and choking. Well, after a cuple mintues Me and (A) sat down and watched a movie with her soon to be step brother. He pulled out a cigarette after a while and smoked. He offered it to (A) and she took it willingly. Then he took it back and smoked again. (A) told him to let me try again. I said no. (A) said hey, you know you want to. I said no. (A) kept saying you know you want to, so I tried again, but i didn't inhale it. (A)'s brother caught me not inhaling and said, "Hey, you didn't inhale!" I felt emmbarressed, but gave it back to him. The next day when I woke up. (A)'s brother came back in the room smoking again. he offered, this time I said no and gave him a look that said no, and that's it. He never asked again. What should I do? My friends are acting funny around me now because I told them. PLEASE HELP!
I don't think there's anything wrong with what you did AT ALL.
You had got curious (we all do) and you tried it and... you know you don't like it and won't be doing it again. It's no big deal at all so I really wouldn't worry about it at all.
I tried one years and years ago because I was telling some friends how it's really bad for them. They said how should I know it's bad when I've never tried it. So I grabbed one, took a few puffs, hated it (never inhaled it and I'm glad I hadn't otherwise I'd have thrown up on one of them) so I threw it back at them and said I've tried it now and it's gross and that they all smell. :]
