Okay, here's the deal. I'm satisfied with my appearance. I'm down to the weight that I want to be. I've been told that I'm pretty before by my friends. ... But guys never approach me or anything. I've been told that I'm shy as well, and I try to take that into consideration, but I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I'm in eighth grade and I've never had a boyfriend. Please help. I give fives. (link)

You're totally fine. Give yourself some time, you're only in eighth grade. I can see that you're happy with your appearance, which is good because that will bring self-confidence around (in due time). I've had one boyfriend -- still with him too, cause' he's a great guy. And that doesn't say enough. I was never one to really be "into" guys like some girls were, I've probably only like three guys in my whole life. One of those guys is the one that I've liked the longest - and the one that I'm going out with. There've been guys that like me but I didn't like them. Even now, there are guys that like me (besides my boyfriend) and .. frankly, I don't like it. If you're like me, you'll come to discover that it's NOT that big of a deal when you have a bunch of guys that like you. You might even find it annoying -- I do. But you have to remember that all guys do things a little differently. Some of them might like you, so they ignore you. Another might like you, so he teases you. Yet another might like you, so he pursues a relationship with your best friend to get closer to you. You'll never know.
I am also a shy person. Last night I went to church with my boyfriend, and it was really challanging for me because they have such a small youth group. They played charades - something my large-ish youth group would NEVER attempt. I kind of felt really silly doing that though. I was supposed to act out someone who is afraid of crashing on a mountain biking trip and losing their leg. That would be one heck of an accident. :) That was difficult for me, even though there were only 15 or so people in the room. Later on we had to pray (in small groups) for each other, and considering that I didn't really know any of them, it was hard for me. But I have really been trying to overcome my shyness. You can do it too. It seems much harder than it really is.
Some guys like self confidence in girls. Others like shy, quiet girls. Others like girls who are very forward. Still others like "prudes." Each one is different - just like you. You'll find the right guy eventually.
Be yourself. Try not to think about what other people are thinking of you, and focus on what you think of yourself. I'm not trying to say you should dye your hair green and purple and wear black, pink, yellow and lime green clothes just because you don't have to think about what others think of you; but I am saying you should be your own person. Take chances - shop at the thrift store, wear red Converses with a pink shirt, put black streaks in your hair, do things a little differently. You don't have to be "weird" about it, unless you want to. I am a good example of this. I do wear red Converses, but never pink. I like black, but that's not all. My dad said I could get black streaks in my hair, but my mom's not keen on the idea. =P I read the dictionary because I like to have an extensive vocabulary. I do writing workbooks for fun. I'm just a chick of a different color. :)
Dispite my efforts, I can't get rid of guys. Oh my gosh. It's annoying. I don't really mind it if they'll act decent and well behaved, but the majority of them go crazy.
It's not as big of a deal as you think. Trust me. I used to think that just because I hadn't kissed a guy, or held his hand, or had a boyfriend that I was doomed to be that way forever. But it's not so. You'll find the right guy at the right time. Don't let other people get you down just because they've had fifty boyfriends, gone to third base, and have a date for the next six Friday AND Saturday nights. They're not worth it. I know girls and guys who've dated more people than I even know. Yah, sad. You don't have to be like that. It just seems to me that someone who dates like that would get... bored. Dating would be a monotonous thing; it'd be dull. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend would seem ... ordinary. For me, and for you when you find the right one, having a boyfriend is extremely special. It's something to be treasured. Don't push yourself to ALWAYS have a boyfriend. You'll find it's not worth it in the end.

ok so ages ago i thought i would buy a small pack of tampons.My mum knows ive started my period but she probably does not know i got these tampons and she found them.theres only 2 of them. in a tiny box. be cause she thinks i use pads which i do. So what im asking is what if my mum asks me where i got it? erm or something? 17/f (link)

You're seventeen - you're old enough to use a tampon if you want to. On your next birthday you'll legally be an adult. No one (not even your mom) should question you because you're using tampons. It's really not something to worry about. Most girls I know prefer tampons to pads because you can swim in them, as well as be more free to move and dance etc. Personally I think that a tampon combined with a pantyliner provide more protection and comfort than a pad. I really dislike pads. I do know that some girls are scared of what their moms will think when she finds out they're using a tampon, but it's really not a big deal. Perhaps you could tell her that you want to use tampons so you can be free to swim and such; and they're more comfortable etc. She probably won't complain about it - you are seventeen after all. :)

Someone said you give great advice.
I'm really worried. I'm in the 7th grade, and generally I write really well. Really zany Poems and stories. But I haven't had any writing assignments (Yet!) and I'm worried that I won't come up with any good writing ideas! i just don't feel inspired! Does this mean I'm losing creativity?
13/f (link)

My dear fellow writer,
You are among many aspiring young writers - myself included - who, at times, don't feel very inspired. It'll come to you, trust me. For a while, several months in fact, I didn't write at all (save for a few book reports). Then I had a quite sudden kick of creativity and began to write about a girl named Kat and her life. I typed it all. (Very bad idea!!!) My computer died. I don't know if the harddrive crashed or died or whatever; I just know that the computer is no longer alive. I'm now on my grandfather's old computer. If you're going to write - be sure to do what I didn't - put your writing on a floppy disc or some sort of backup file so you'll still have it later. Since I lost that story, I was a little upset and once again didn't feel very creative or inspired. Then, one night around 12:30 AM, I got a sudden idea! Thus, my most recent work. It's still in progress, but it's alot of fun. Sometimes you'll feel uninspired for a while, but (at a very random time) will get a very great idea.
Simply because you haven't had any ideas lately doesn't meant you're losing your creativity. Your creativity has simply, perhaps, gone into hibernation and needs to be woken. Sometimes in my spare time I do a fun grammar workbook. It has all sorts of writing exercises to help strengthen my writing skills and know what to say and what not to say. It has covered everything from discriptive paragraphs to short essays to poetry. You could try something like that. A few good exercises are :
- Pick a small place in your house or outside; it only needs to be an area of a few feet. Then, in as much detail as possible, describe that area. It's acceptable to use "action" verbs to describe something that isn't moving. [example : the shirt is sprawled... the squating stump...]
- Describe - in GREAT detail - your "dream room." If money were not an obstacle, what would you want your room to look like? Any specific "high-tech" toys, CDs, colors, pillows etc. should be described.
- Describe a room in your home. Simple enough right? You can, once again, use "action" verbs to describe something that isn't actually moving.
- Describe yourself. Take a mirror and describe your outside features as well as your personality. Don't forget to include things such as "deep blue eyes that shine like diamonds..." and "hair silky, shining as the sun..." etc.
- Describe a person. Describe them the same way you did yourself.
- Describe your dream pet. It can be a real animal, or something that you've created. Be sure to include what color it would be, what its texture is, its personality and demeanor, what its purposes are (playing, riding, farm work) etc.
- Describe a planet. Make up a planet, name it, give it personality and flair. Create people (or perhaps they are aliens...?) who are unique to themselves.
- Write about one day in your life. It can be a special day or just an ordinary day. Use lots of adjectives and verbs to give your writing class. Try using a new word every now and then. :) Break out the dictionary baby!
- Describe ONE special happening of your life. Perhaps it was the night you got your first kiss (if that has happened to you yet), the day you were saved (or christened...), the day you were held the main role in the school play or such great events. Describe the emotions you had, the people around you, how you felt before, during, and after, etc.
- Write a short story about a made-up person. Tell what happens to him/her during one day (or however long you choose to write about, though I'd start with one day). Show the emotions, class, style and character that are all your own. :-D
You're not losing your creativity, you simply need to use it more. Using creativity comes in more fashions than just writing. Perhaps you could try your hand at painting, drawing or modeling clay. You could make a bouquet or arrangement. Try photography or choreography (you know, dance moves). Perhaps you are a fine dancer. :) Make a collage using only things you find outdoors or magazine clippings. There are endless possibilities. You can make even the most dull and boring things seem interesting if you portray them correctly.
This is taken from a wonderful creative writing course called "Wordsmith" by Janie B. Cheaney, concerning creativity and poetry.
"Do you think you never go anywhere or do anything interesting? What would you think of a girl who grew up in the same house, never moved, never went on vacation, never had more than a few friends, never married, and died at the age of 56? It would be hard to imagine a more boring life. But Emily Dickinson wrote over a thousand poems during her "boring" life, which are still read and enjoyed (and required for every American literature student) today. Here's one :
The sky is low, the clouds are mean;
A traveling flake of snow
Across a barn or thorn or rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him.
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.
This example demonstrates how a poet can take the simple, ordinary experiences of life and make them special."
Wow! Emily Dickinson was an amazing poet! But, as I've stated before, she lived a BORING life! If she could write such amazing works, surely we can follow in her example.
I hope this has helped you and perhaps encouraged you in some form or fashion. :-D

The other day I did about 25 situps and now my stomach in the abdomen area is sore. Is this normal??
Thanks ahead of time. (link)
|
It's normal because your body isn't used to the workout. I do 400 crunches daily just to "feel the burn," but someone who doesn't do sit ups or crunches often will definitely be sore from a few. The sore muscles will go away soon, but to help speed the recovery, try stretching them very well and putting a heating pad on them. Take some ibuprofen if the pain is really bad. To strengthen those muscles though, you'll have to do 25 sit ups every day, then gradually increase the number. You'll be sore for a while, and probably sore each time you increase the number, but you'll feel better about yourself. :)

is it wrong for a 13M to have been never been kissed. (link)
|
It is absolutely NOT wrong!! Everyone's time will come - some sooner than others, but there is NO "right" time or a "wrong time". I have a friend who got her first kiss when she was 18! Trust me, you're still pretty young compared to that. I know our society basically sells sex everywhere, but don't buy into it. Whenever is RIGHT for YOU is the "right" time.

hi i'm 15,male,ohio and there is this girl that i like but shes really popular and i'm not i'm hated by everyone popular and i'm not sure if she hates me and i'd really like to get to know her shes gave me her number but never sits by me on the bus and jus says hi. (link)
|
Well... she DID give you her number!! Why don't you strike up casual conversations with her? And you sit by her on the bus. Maybe she's too shy to make that move. It's good that she says 'Hi' - she probably wants to talk to you. You could always call her around 8:00 PM. That way she will probably be done with homework, and have eaten supper, and it's really too dark to do anything outdoors. Try to get her AIM SN and E-mail address so you can get to know her via the web too. It really sounds like she wants to get to know you, but doesn't know how. Take that step and make the first move. Sometimes even the most outgoing girls are afraid to make the first step in a relationship. You can do it - be a man. Hehe. :-D

This would be extremely hard for anyone. Especially since you're so young and have to make a choice like this one. Honestly, don't consider it a choice over who you 'like' better. Consider these things before you choose :
- Who would I be most comfortable living with?
- Who will be able to provide best for my needs?
- Who will I be able to know that I'll always be safe and warm with?
- Where will I have the best education?
- Where will I be brought up and taught valuable life lessons the best?
- Where will I be able to develop social and home making skills best?
Once you answer those questions, it will be a little easier to make a decision, though it would be completely based off of logical thinking and non-emotional.
Though, if your mom has "hit rock bottom" it will only be harder for her to provide for a daughter as well. If you live with your dad, you could quite possibly be better cared for. You'll have TWO moms that love you and a dad. Possibly step-brothers / sisters. Just think about those questions, and when you make your decision, make it clear that you love both parents THE EXACT SAME. :-\
Life bites sometimes.

This is... kind of odd, I suppose.
Please only read this is you are female.. and know what you are talking about?
I'm 13. I've had my... yeah...
But I've never liked a guy. Ever. Been kissed. Wanted to kiss. Never had a crush or a boyfriend or anything.
I have no interest in girls, either. Nothing.
I'm not shy around boys or girls.
What's up with me? :/ (link)
|
Left Out,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Just because you've gotten your "...yeah" doesn't mean you'll suddenly be boy-crazy. It's absolutely normal for you not to be boy-crazy or even have a crush now. It's okay. I didn't have a boyfriend until I was almost fourteen (seriously two months before I turned fourteen is when I got my first boyfriend.) Before that I think I liked two different guys. Yeah. You will probably fall in love for a long time, perhaps find your 'soul mate' at a very young age (relatively young anyway). It is okay not to like guys yet, or want to kiss one. One day you'll see a guy, meet him, hang out with him and simply think, "Wow. This guy is the best thing... ever." Perhaps you'll think he's better than sliced bread. Or maybe you don't like sliced bread, so you think he's better than non-sliced bread. Haha. Either way, you'll be 'head-over-heels,' 'star-struck,' etc. etc. It happens to all of us... and it's perfectly normal for it to not have happened to you yet. Each girl - and boy - are different and will mature differently. Some girls will never like boys until they're out of high school, perhaps in college. They may never have a prom date or a steady boyfriend. That's okay though. Some girls will go out with every guy they can set their eyes upon, and they end up breaking so many hearts. Yes, both are extreme examples, but you get the idea. Hormones happen differently in each girl, so do not be concerned. Though, if you have other problems concerning health / hormones, you might want to talk to your mom and perhaps see a doctor. That's only if you have health issues though. Don't worry, you're fine.

is this question anonymous? do you know who i am or anything? (link)
|
"Regular" columnists cannot see who is asking the questions. Level One moderators cannot see who is asking the questions. Level Two and Level Three are able to see who is asking the questions, but that information is not used to discriminate against the questioner. If someone does a search for questions asked by, say, 23 year old males, then the columnists will know a little about you, but not who you are.

im new with this whole period thing. ive had it for about 6 months. i was supposed to get it a week ago, but i didnt. i havent had sex or anything, is this normal ? Will i get it soon, again?
[ not like i want it anyways :-p ] (link)
|
Who the heck wants it!? If someone wants it, they can have mine! Ha ha ha.
Yes, it is absolutely NORMAL. 100%
Beause you've only had it for six months, you're still undergoing changes. Your period still has a mind of its own - and uses it well! - but not often to our benefit. Sometimes you'll have your period regurally for three months, then skip two months. Completely ANNOYING!, but perfectly normal and natural.

which substance abosorbs ice/water the best and fastest? like on roads durring winter! out of sugar, sand, salt, and calcium chloride? im doing a school project..thanks ♥ (link)

I do believe that salt is what is most common, and it works VERY well. Salt is used worldwide to control icy roads. Sometimes (in some places) sand is also put down with the ice for traction. I don't know if this will help you any but I thought it was slightly interesting. http://www.usroads.com/journals/p/rmj/9712/rm971202.htm
RANDOM FACT : If you cover a slug with salt, it shrivels up and dies. :D [I can be so cruel sometimes!] :D

Okay well im 13\f and i have a bf..but he lives in a diff. state. but idunno i still love him. BUTTTTT i have this friend who lives really close to me and i think i like him. How can i tell he likes me. we talk on the fone all the time, one time from midnite to 5 in the morning. hes cool. But liek.. i met him on myspace and i was looking at his other Friends on there and he told other grls the same thing he told me..that he thinks they are cute and they should hang sumtime.. BUtttt he always tells me my voice sounds hott and he thinks im awesome nd stuff. How can i tell if he likes me or if hes just tryna find an easy hook up i guess you can call it. (link)
|
Well.. I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but it kinda sounds like he just wants an 'easy hook up'. I know it's sad. I think it's great that you talk to him and stuff, but DON'T dump your boyfriend for this new guy. Get to know "MySpace Boy" a little better, about him, his track record with girls etc. etc. You definitely don't want to get played. He might tell everyone that he thinks they're cute, and might just want to see who he can get the furthest with. Do you know if he talks on the phone with other girls for a long time? Maybe he does? That's not my place to say. What I can suggest is to practice extreme caution. If he starts to get pushy and tries to make you do something you don't feel comfortable doing, drop him like a burning flip-flop. [unusual analogy, but hey - if a flip flop were on fire, you wouldn't be holding it, now would you!?] Hang out with him I suppose, but only in groups of friends. And be careful, he might hurt you. Then again, he might not. He might be innocent and just like you. Who knows? You'll have to play this one out, but be very careful! I've seen so much heartbreak... I don't want to see you hurt too. (physically, mentally, emotionally...) Be careful. Be discerning. Be shrewd. [because it's a cool word.] Just ... be wise and don't fall for anything, look both ways twice before crossing the street - if you know what I mean. :-)

Tommrow i have to go to this swimming party and i really wanna go cuz all my friends will be there and some really hott guys..lol but im supposed to have my period tomarrow and i dont where tampons yet cuz this will only be my 2nd time haveing my period! Can Somne PLEASE help me! (link)
|
Don't worry girl! You can wear a tampon on your second period. I wore them on my first.. as long as your mom doesn't care. Though because it's only your second, you might not get it. Your body is young and your periods will be irregular for a while. You might not get it tomorrow. If you do, ask your mom if you can wear a tampon. It'll be okay to wear one. Actually, I prefer a tampon to a pad. A pad sortof feels like a diaper (haha!!) but if you put a tampon in correctly, you won't even know it's there. If you DO get your period, try using junior / slim tampons. You can't swim in anything else. :-\ I was kindof nervous the first time I tried a tampon, but it doesn't hurt. Just be relaxed. Every box of tampons has an insert about the most comfortable / popular positions to stand / sit while inserting a tampon. Those are very helpful. Also, ask your mom for guidance. She'll probably be able to talk you through it before you try it.

hi my name is justin and im 16. i live in the bronx, ny. and im into the oreintal stuff, so recently i bought a katana. (its a sword) its not sharp or anything, but my father hetes it. he said he thinks one day i might get angry at him and chop him to piecies. which makes sense, but my father owns a desert eagle( a gun) thet he brought back from the war( its either the vietnam of persien, im not sure..) so should he complain even though he owns a gun?
signed..
Konfused (link)

Konfused,
Perhaps your dad is keeping his Desert Eagle for memories? Something like that would be a treasure. My grandfather has several of his older guns from the Vietnamese war. Perhaps your dad is keeping the gun for safety reasons? Maybe he's keeping it because one day it might be worth a good deal of money? Or perhaps, just maybe, he thinks it could be an heirloom one day? Whatever his reasoning, you have to realize that he's a responsible adult, and he lived through a war. That is definitely tough.
Perhaps you could get a glass case to mount your Katana in? If you put it in a glass case and lock the case, your dad shouldn't have anything to fear. You and your father could find a suitable place to keep it, perhaps he wouldn't fear so much.
Should he complain? Well, I can't say that he SHOULD or SHOULD NOT complain, but he obviously has his reasonings. Act responsibly and maturely and I'm quite sure he'll feel more at ease.

I do believe so! I think she wants to have a new friend! Ah, how cute! :-D Ok, ok. So, y'all are going to have Subway and sit together, have fun etc. Maybe she's new also? If she's not, she'll probably introduce you to new friends, that way you'll have more than one new friend. Cool. Have fun!
