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.

The person below me is right, it is a heart...but it goes way beyond MySpace. People use it through IMs, on LiveJournal and ANY journal or blog site out there. Pretty much a million places on the internet.

can bulimic people get ulcers??? (link)
|
ANYONE can get an ulcer, but if you're talking about a mouth ulcer, yes, vomiting causes those. It's a yes to stomach ulcers as well. Here's something on peptic ulcers:
"A peptic ulcer refers to an area of the stomach, or the tube that leads away from the stomach, which becomes eroded by stomach acid. Peptic ulcers can be serious and need immediate attention if you are vomiting blood or passing digested blood in your stools."
And here are more effects of bulimia:

ok about a week ago i got like banned from this site because i told someone that sperm dies when it hits the air so i got banned because sopposibly thats a myth? But i just saw a few other people on the site saying how sperm dies when it hits the air is it true or not? (link)
| |
The person below me is exactly right. But, one question, why would they ban you from a site for making a simple mistake by telling someone a COMMON myth about sperm. What's the big deal?

for a few months i've been overly freakish about what i eat. whenever i eat, i feel so bad that i ate it and i feel so fat. i told this to my friend and she said that she thought i looked really skinny lately, but she didn't want to say anything. i can't eat food without looking at the calories and daily percentages and fat and stuff and it's driving me insane..i just ate dinner and i feel so fat, and it was only 300-350 calories, which isn't a lot for dinner. what can i do to stop this?? (link)
| |
To me that sounds like you have an eating disorder. Anorexia or EDNOS perhaps. You should definitely see a doctor or talk to a parent about this. Eating disorders are VERY serious!

I'm 13 and I'm about 5' 1" and I weigh 79 lbs., and I know that's in the healthy range for BMI's but I can tell I have too much fat, especially on my stomach and thighs. Anyone have any advice on how to lose it? (link)
| |
Actually, according to your BMI, you are in the anorexic category. In fact, you are about 4 whole points away from being underweight. That's crazy. You definitely don't need to lose any weight. You are way too small for your size.

Can anyone tell me how much the Hermes Birkin Bag costs? I dont want to know how much they cost on those random websites...i'm talking about a ligitimate hermes website.
Thanks so much!! (link)

I was just at the official Hermes site (hermes.com) and they don't even have bags for sale on the website. But I found this:
http://www.createursdeluxe.com/bags.asp
It seems pretty legitimate. And judging by the price, they're authentic. $20,000

is it weird to shave my stomach and hands? becuase i have like a noticable amount of hair on my stomach and my hands, and i hate it.
thanks! (link)
| |
Everyone has body hair. Unfortunately, some of us girls have more than some others. If you are okay with shaving, go ahead and do it. You can also use nair or wax if you prefer. Either way, it's not weird, more girls have to do stuff like that than you think.

When you give a bloy job. is it smarter to spit or swallow? jus wondering! i've given on before.. but that taste is so gross! and its jus weird to spit.. so i'd like to know what everyone else thought about that! thanks! :) (link)
|
It's your choice if you want to spit or swallow. Different women prefer different things. Yes, it is an acquired taste, so a lot of girls spit. But as for swallowing, you'd have to have his penis all the way at the back of your throat when he cums in order for it to go down your throat without you tasting it very much.
Hope I helped you!

When giving a blow job, and then your partner cums in your mouth. Is it normal to feel crappy after that? Is there any way you can get sick from that? Is there a chance to get and STD? Is the cum any good for you and your body? Jus kinda cerious! thanks! :) (link)
|
You can DEFINITELY get an STD from blow jobs. You should use a condom whenever coming in contact with his genitals. Here's a quote from a Human Sexuality webpage:
"Don't even take his penis in your mouth without a condom on it - all kinds of scary critters, including HIV, can live in "pre-cum" and others like herpes can live on the skin of the penis or scrotum."
As for feeling sick from the cum, you CAN get nausea or a mild stomachache from swallowing ejaculate. However, it won't harm your digestive system or your stomach or anything in a physical way.

Before my boyfriend now i made out with 4 guys...im 14 years old (female)and now have a boyfriend who after knowing eachtoher for 1 month and being together for 3 weeks we have done EVERYTHING people consider me a whore but i dont no if i am...i havnt done anyting with any other guy and im in love with my boyfrned so i thought it was okay but i dont want people to think bad of me....shoudl i stop doing stuff with my boyfriend or try and convince people their wrong?

Well, 14 is a very young age to be having sex. You're not even fully developed yet, physically or emotionally. Sex can complicate a lot in your life.
And also, when you're young, you can mistake a lot of things for love. Lust or just extreme like you feel toward someone could make you feel like you're in love, but when you get older and actually fall in love, you may then realize that this was just you being young and liking a guy a lot.
Also, you've only known this guy for 1 month and only dating for 3 weeks! If you ask me, that's way too early in any relationship, especially at such a young age, to be having sex. Your age, the making out with the other guys, and the sex with someone you've known for such a short time could all contribute to people thinking you're easy.
However, I don't know you personally so I have no place to judge. Those are just things to think about.
If you want to continue having sex with your boyfriend, just don't tell anyone that you're having sex with him. It's a private act anyways, people don't need to know your business. The only way to prove those people that think you're a whore wrong is to SHOW them you're not. Just don't talk about having sex with your guy with other people and no one will have anything to talk about.
Before you go on having sex if you choose to, though, you should think about how this guy feels about YOU. Guys at any age just like sex a lot and sometimes that's all they want. He could also be one of the reasons this whore rumor is going around...maybe he's bragging to his friends about what he's done with you. His feelings for you could be real, but they just as possibly could not be. You should talk to him about your concerns and see what he has to say about it.
Good luck! And always use protection, and realize that even when you do, there are still a lot of STDs you can catch during sex with even the most "clean" person.
I hope I helped!

I'm thinking about getting two birds (probably love birds or parakeets) in a couple months or so. I'm really excited about it and am already starting to think about names for them.
I'm probably going to get a girl and a boy- but can anyone suggest any cute boy/girl pet names? Something in pairs would be great (think Romeo & Juliett, or Bonnie & Clyde sort of thing) Thanks! (link)

I recently broke up with my boyfriend because I don't have feelings (more then a friend) for him anymore and it wasn't fair to him at all. A big reason i finally did it was because there is a guy i like. I've known him for years and i used to like him when i first met him but back then i was way to young and my mom wouldnt let me see him. well now, for last few months, i've been hanging out with a new group of friends, him included. When we're all together he will look at me and smile and we talk and when my best friend goes to hang out with them and i'm not there he always asks where i am and tells her to call me and have me come over. well one night he gave me a ride home and on the way he asked if i had to go directly home and if i wanted to come back to his place and hang out with him.. so i did. i ended up staying the night at his house and we ended up having sex. we talked alot and we both decided we didnt want a relashonship (at the time i still had a bf, i know im horrible) and he's "talking" to this girl who i HATE, i hated her before i knew he knew her... but he told me he did like me but now lately he's acting totally different to me, not mean or anything, but he doesnt call as much as he did, and we barely speak when we're all hanging out. We didn't tell anyone what we did because we didn't want everyone we know involved in our sex lives but.. was i used? is it possible he likes me? (link)
|
It definitely sounds like you were used to me. I think you should just leave him alone, he's not worth it.
This girl that he likes...once he gets done and over the sex with her, he'll move on to the next. Some guys are just like that.
Don't try to get involved with him. He definitely used to for sex.

At the begining of the school year, there was a guy in my Spanish class. Gradually we became really close friends, and the more I hung out with him, the more I relized that I really liked him. At both of my best friends pressuring, I told him that I liked him.
How I told him is that I wrote a note telling him. I know it was very childish to do so but I am happy now that I did not tell him in person.
His response to me telleing him was that 'He would never consider being more than friends with a black person.' His words exactly, then after a few days of me fuming and wanting to kill him, he says that he only said that to spare my feelings. He said that he really did not like me the way I liked him, but I think he was lying. Now I feel a little uncomfortable around him, should I tell him how I feel about him now? Or should I leave well enough alone. I'll take any advice. I am an African American female, and he is a white male. (link)
|
That's just ridiculous. No one should hear that from someone, especially someone who is supposed to be their friend! You need to just leave him alone, he sounds like a major jerk.
I definitely understand why you'd feel uncomfortable around him. He's like one of those racist people that say "hey, I have black friends, I'm not racist" like that actually makes a difference. It doesn't.
That was just a really rude thing to say and if you don't want to confront him about it, I'd just separate myself from him altogether.

Ok my friend just turned 15. last yr. she was a little over weight, in aug. (when we returned to school) she looked great she lost a few pounds. however she was still losing weight until she is basicly skin and bones. in dec. her parents took her to a doctor because they suspected something. She has to go every 6 weeks for a weigh in. Every visit she weighed less, and according to her nothing felt wrong and she was eating alot and NOT throwing up. The test showed nothing either. They said if she didnt stop she would have to go to a therapist.
However, last week (Fri) she went to the stomach dr. and was put on medication. she and her bff said it was some disease that makes her throw up her food. i asked (to her BFF not her):"Is she bulimic?" She said no.
What else could it be? I mean to be frank, her BFF is very controlling and they only hang out with each other 24/7. She is hardly ever at home. She spends breaks/weekends/afternoons with her and her cousin, who is also losing wieght. She is also home alone for several hours after school and she could be doing stuff.
So basicly is there some other disease or what? (link)
|
I'm not sure about diseases that MAKE you throw up, but it's very possible that your friend is keeping the truth from you, and maybe even from her friend. Bulimia is common in teen girls and she could quite possibly have it.
If not, she could have a thyroid problem. Depending on what kind it is, it can either make you gain or lose weight. I'm not sure if it makes you throw up though...I don't think so.

Has any ever been to a tanning booth? Do you get hot? Is it just like your sorronded in light? Can you get burned? How old do you have to be with an adult/without an adult? (link)
|
I just recently got done with a month at the tanning bed, but I know that each tanning place is different. Call and ask them or go visit the place and they'll tell you.
I've gone to two tanning salons before and both required you to be 16 or older to tan. If you're under 18, you have to have parent permission.
I never got so hot that I couldn't stand it, but sometimes when your back lays against the bulbs for a while it'll start to sweat. Most places have fans installed in their tanning beds to help you stay cool.
Yes, you can get burned in the tanning bed. At most places, they'll start you out around 6 minutes and allow you to go up 2 minutes each day. Some people burn at the 10 minute mark, but it usually doesn't last long. That happened to me, and I went two days without going so the redness would go away. Then when I went back I went for 9 minutes. The next time I went for 10, and then went up 2 each time and stayed there for two times so my skin would get used to that amount of time under the bulbs.
And yeah, it's like being surrounded in blue light. Make sure you wear your goggles (just remove the strings and lay them over your eyes). To avoid getting the goggle markings once you start to tan, move them around to different positions every now and then. That's what I did and it worked fine. If you don't wear them, even if you close your eyes, you can get serious eye damage.
Hope that helps!

Crystal Light is really good in comes in a bunch of different flavors. You can buy it in bottles or you can get the powder that you can add to water, which is just as good.
Green tea is also good for you if you like that. You get get it bottled at the store as well.

okay, II'm thinking about buying some trimspa ...I have a few questions about it....there are thirty pills in the box and it says four diet pills a day is recommened, the three is the miminum. So, that's about ten days worth if I take three a day. Now, in those ten days, will I lose weight/?????????//
I'm thinking about taking the diet pills about eleven days before my prom...the 28th... Will the weight loss show by then?
Has anyone taken this diet pill? Does it work? Please help me....
when should I take it? and what should I eat while I'm taking the diet pills? I'm totally new to taking diet pills.
Also..this might be a stupid question...but will diet pills show up in urine drug tests?
And I know that I shouldn't be taking them because of my lukeimia, but I'm just inquiring about it... (link)
|
Some really good points have been made so far, but here's something else:
If you look at a trimspa ad or probably the box they come in, it'll say "results not typical". It says this on every diet/weight loss supplement out there. Basically that means that, sure, if COULD work...but probably not.
Basically, diet pills aren't worth your time. It's best to do it the old fashion way by eating healthy and exercising. This way has more advantages:
-The results will be better with exercise...you'll tone your muscles and get a very nice shape
-You'll feel much prouder about yourself losing the weight on your own
-The results are long term as long as you stick with it. On diet pills, unless you plan on taking them forever, once you go off them the weight just packs back on
If it helps any, I lost 30lbs on Atkins in about 3 months. I went from 163lbs to 133lbs. I got sick of meat and eggs and cheese and switched to a low calorie plan (1200 at first, and now I just watch what I eat once I got used to low-cal) and I managed to get down to 128lbs and maintained that weight. After Atkins I also began a simple exercise regimen of 20 minutes on the treadmill 5 times a week and squats/lunges/crunches/arm work/etc that has helped me tone up some problem areas. I have a great sense of accomplishment about what I did...especially since I'm only 17. I'm glad I lost the weight when I did.
Good luck on the weight loss endeavor!

do guys like their nipples touched and stuff too? (link)
|
Some guys are into nipple play, some aren't. If you're with a guy and you want to know, run your fingers over them discretely and take cues from him and decide whether he's into it or not. Or you could just ask him.
Every guy has his own preference. For example, some guys like to have their butts squeezed or even more butt action with girls, and some don't want you to go anywhere near that part of their body.
