Im christian but I was researching islam & they seem to be very similar, and i think islam may seem more true. I read that christians believe that mohammed was a liar about being a messenger, but isn't that what happened to jesus?, didn't people think he was a liar about being a "the son of god" ?? I think that islam may seem clearer & makes more sense. & how can christians say there is three "????'s" in 1 god? I'm starting to think that christians are hipacrits, & now I feel like one & i feel stupid around muslims. i'm really confused. & i bet christians would get mad for me thinking this, and if they do, it just makes them seem even more hipacritical. i think that a lot of christians are in the wrong state of mind. & they don't believe in evolution which is very ignorant because its highly misunderstood, its simple, god created life then life evolved. & the evidence is houses and furniture from old times because you can clearly see that people were tiny back then & have evolved, which thy don't believe
Islam and Christianity are both Abrahamic religions. This means that they all share a common starting point - Abraham.
Abraham is recorded in the Torah as the ancestor of the Israelites through his son Isaac, born to Sarah through a promise made in Genesis. Christianity is sourced from Jesus, who was himself Jewish. Muslims believe that Muhammed descends from Abraham's son Ishmael. This is why many of the fundamental beliefs of both religions are similar - such as believing in one God.
It's wrong to think that all Christians don't believe in evolution but it's also wrong to say that those who do are 'ignorant'. Religion is a personal thing and it's up to you to choose what you do and don't believe. However, it is not our right to judge others who hold different beliefs to our own.

That looks like a playsuit to me. If it's not, then it's a tunic style.

Do you know if it is true that if you wash your hair in cold water it will make it shinier?
Have YOU tried it and does cold water make your hair shiny for real?
Thank you!
I rate!
You don't have to wash it in cold water, but a cold rinse once you've finished washing/conditioning does make your hair shinier. Cold water seals the hair follicles so that they lie flat, meaning they reflect the light better - which is why your hair looks shinier.
Similarly, a blast of cold air after blow-drying your hair has the same effect.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 months and I really really love him. The only thing is, we are never at his house and I barely ever see his family. Like my family knows him well but I don't know his family at all. He mentioned the other night that he wanted me to hang at his house more and I feel relieved except I feel it may be awkward now since I wasn't around for so long and plus last month we fought a lot and I think his dad knew about it. I guess what I'm asking is...is his parents gonna not be happy that I stayed away for so long. I'd like to get to know his family but I'm nervous :/
I'm sure it'll be fine. Your boyfriend wouldn't want you to spend more time at his house if he didn't want you to meet his family. Just be polite and friendly. It's normal to be nervous but I'm sure his parents aren't going to hold anything against you, they're probably keen to get to know their son's girlfriend.

I'm on my first week of birth control pills.
It says to take it at the same time every day; I took it an hour late. Does that make me any less protected or is an hour still an okay range?
An hour is nothing to worry about. With the combined pill, which is probably what you've got, they only reccomend you take it at the same time as it helps you to remember to take it. Even if you miss a day, as long as you take it the next day along with that day's pill you should still be covered.

okay so im 14 and i havnt had my period for about 2 months, i got my first one when i was about 11 and ever since then i've had it but recently for some reason i havnt and its kind of worrying me, no im not pregnant if thats what your thinking as im still a virgin, im not fat but im not skinny either. can anyone help please!! ?
Periods can be pretty irregular when you're going through puberty and anything from hormonal changes to stress can cause it to skip or come at the wrong time. It's nothing to worry about and it's normal but if it starts to really bother you, it's possible to go on birth control just to regulate your periods.

Guys are nice to me And if I ask them out they say sorry. That is about it. What should I do to make guys like me and not say that I am stupid? I am a 13 year old female. I am the onlyone in my grade that hasn't ever had a boyfriend.
I doubt you're really the only one in your grade who hasn't had a boyfriend.
You're 13! I know it feels like having a boyfriend is the most important thing in the world right now, but I promise you it's not. You have years and years to deal with the ups and downs of relationships, right now you should be enjoying yourself.
You can't MAKE guys like you, you can only be yourself. A guy not liking you doesn't mean you're inferior, it just means they're not the right one for you and that's fine. Spend time with a mixture of guys and girls and focus on friendships. People will soon see what a great person you are. One of the most unattractive things people can do is mope around because they think no one likes them and act desperate. Be yourself, be friendly and be happy with who you are. I'm sure that at some point something will happen with a guy but right now it's not the end of the world if it doesn't.

My boyfriend of a two years is a wonderful, funny, considerate man. (We live together, have lots of mutual friends and interests, and generally get along great.) However, I'm concerned about his past. Many friends have told me that he was a "playboy" before I knew him, and he openly admits to cheating on many past girlfriends. I've even -- ahem -- stumbled on old emails between my boyfriend and his male friends, in which they traded naked photos of women and said generally rude, dirty, abusive things.
This is a man who is always there for me, cooking me dinner and putting my needs first. He has given me no reason to distrust him in all the time we've been together. He swears that, since meeting me, everything is different. We're both nearing 30 and have started to talk about marriage. But knowing what I know about his unsavory past, I am having trouble believing him - and frankly I'm a little creeped out. Am I nuts to consider a life with this man? Is the cliche true - that people can't really change?
Everyone has a past and everyone does things they're not proud of.
Like you say yourself, he's given you no reason to distrust him. Why throw a perfectly good relationship into doubt because he has a past?
Of course there's no way of guaranteeing that he won't cheat on you but then again, he has no way of guaranteeing the same for you either.
The fact that he's been so open about his past should reassure you. If he planned to do the same to you, it's unlikely he'd be so honest with you.
Put these doubts aside and see him as the man YOU met, not the man he was before he knew you.

So I've gone swimming for about 2 hours for the past 3 days and I've been noticing that my face seems more clear. I've never had a real problem with acne but I always seem to have a few small zits at any given time. So does the Chlorine in the pool help with the acne or what? I think it might be because my face is more on the oily side and Chlorine dries it up or something like that...what do you think?
It could well be that the chlorine is drying it out, but it could also be that the excercise itself is actually helping. Either way, keep an eye on the chlorine with your skin as you don't want to dry it out too much. Make sure you're cleansing your face and using a light moisturiser after you swim.

why is it i did not bleed when my first sex?he is the first person im having sex
Although it is common to, you don't always bleed the first time you have sex.
The bleeding is usually a result of the hymen (a thin layer of skin inside the entrance of the vagina) breaking. Often this happens during sex but it can also be caused by other things - most commonly tampons and masturbation but in some cases gymnastics and horse riding are also reported causes.

Will bbq sauce or ketchup, activia, spagetti sauce and cake eat my paint on my truck away. it happened last night and i washed it off first thing this morning? how fast does it work and what is the best way to get rid of it?
I seriously doubt any of those things will have any effect on the paint on your truck, especially seeing as you washed it off pretty quickly.
If it was going to have any effect I think you would have seen it by now.

So my boyfriend and I (we're in high school) have been dating for about a month. He's a trustworthy, respectful, and caring guy in all respects and he's always really sweet to me. And we know each other fairly well. We also have talked about honesty and agree that telling the truth is always best and said that we will both be honest. Also in conversation, when sex was mentioned, he basically said he was a virgin (he didn't say "I am a virgin" but he said "I'd have no experience with that/know anything about how that would go" in refrence to sex. And I'm a virgin, he knows that. Our group of friends are all "good kids" who don't have sex, etc. in most cases (they aren't against it but don't want to in high school). And I don't have that policy, but everyone knows I'm a virgin. And I'm pretty sure most them would assume my boyfriend is too. However, my best friend, who never lies to me and is in band with him, told me that his ex and he had sex the whole time they were dating (she heard this from 2 trustworthy but 2-3 hand sources) and they he broke up with her because she thought she was pregnant (but it was a false alarm). Why would he lie to me about that? I could understand him saying he wasn't a virgin if he was-but this way? It makes no sense. Maybe he thought I would find being a virgin better-but I'd rather have the truth and I'm pretty darn sure he knows that! I think I'll probably ask him about the ex-gf (he hasn't really had reason to mention her) but I want to be prepared for what his answers regarding his virginity may be and why he has said what he said before I do that.
Is it really that much of a weird lie? Think about it. If what your friend is saying is true, that he left a girl because she thought she was pregnant, he's not going to want you to know about that is he? Not to mention the fact that you are a virgin and he may have thought being one too would sit better with you.
Now it could well be that he made a mistake and regrets it and wanted a fresh start with you but nevertheless, it's a pretty big thing to keep from your new girlfriend.
Talk to him about it calmly. Don't jump in with accusations, just ask him if what you heard is true. Make it clear that you don't instantly believe your friend and that you want to hear his side of the story.
It could be that he just made a mistake, it could be that he's not as respectful and trustworthy as you thought. Either way, it's up to you how you deal with it.

i dated a guy for 15 months and i got way too close to him and so when we broke up i was really hurt. about 4 months after we broke up i met this really nice guy and i gave it a shot with him. i ended it after 2 months because i was afraid of getting too close. i'm afraid of opening up and i'm afraid of getting to close. is there anything i can do about this? i really want a healthy relationship but i can't when i'm always backing down.. :/
Heartbreak is always hard to deal with, especially the first time. Four months is a very short time to get over an intense 15 month relationship. It's okay to take some time away from dating and to focus on yourself. Sometimes it takes being single for a while to realise what you really want from a relationship and to be ready to take that plunge again.
Relationships can be great and fulfilling but they do come with a health warning. All relationships have the potential to fail and it's a very lucky person who meets 'the one' first time and never gets hurt.
Having said that, every guy you meet has the potential to be that special person who's right for you. Ending relationships because you're afraid of getting hurt means you're potentially losing out on a brilliant one.
So next time you meet a guy and you feel ready to date, go in there thinking 'this could end badly, but it could also be the best thing that's ever happened to me' and remember that every disappointment teaches you something.

I'm really sorry if this is long but i got no one else to help me..
Okay well at work there's this guy im 18 he's 21 he has a gf they've been together for about 5 months? but his gf treats him really bad she swears at him and so forth it's pretty bad but yet he's still with her,he flirts me with me examples: he'll tell me im cute or pretty and we always joke around,and for my birthday he offered to drop me off i said okay and then we hugged and it went for like 3 minutes it was pretty long anyways he's so nice i think i like him though i texted him saying that i think this whole flirting thing has gotta stop because you have a gf and i dont wanna fall for you and end up empty handed and i dont wanna stop talking,he didn't reply to my msg at all then when i saw him at work he wouldnt even talk to me or nothing and then on sat i saw him i asked how long are you gonna ignore me for ? he just shrugged his shoudlers i said i was sorry i didnt mean to send it i was kinda forced (which i was) and he just asked who i said my friend he goes alright thats it and then today i saw him he didnt even talk to me at all what do i do what does this mean please help.
Leave him alone. He may well have feelings for you but he has a girlfriend. You did the right thing by telling him the flirting had to stop and he's doing the right thing by steering clear for the time being.
Maybe when things cool off you will be able to be friends with this guy, sans the flirting. And maybe he will break up with his girlfriend and you'll be in with a shot but unless that happens, don't mess with him. It isn't fair to anyone involved, not least his girlfriend.

Hey, 15/f. (keep in mind this all happened in a matter of five days)
Me and my boyfriend had protected sex. that went fine. Then we had sex, with a condom, it broke, he took it off instantly and put a new one on. Then we had unprotected sex a few time's, he didnt cum, but cant pre-cum get you pregnant? Also, we had unprotexted in the shower. He didnt cum. He masturbated, cam on his fingers, after about 10 minutes he fingered me, the cum still on his fingers. Im due for my period on June 21 or 22nd. Since it was so close to my last period im wondering if I am pregnant, or not. I've been having random cramps, and feeling like im going to throw up at random time's. but not actually throwing up. And getting little head aches. Is there a high possibility that im pregnant. BTW i took a pregnancy test and it said no. But my friend said it to early for it to be right. Please answer soon im stressing.
If you had unprotected sex, you could be pregnant.
Take another test to make sure, perhaps one of those 'first response' ones to be on the safe side.
In future, always use a condom and consider taking birth control as a back up.

I was suppose to start my period Sunday, June 6th. I did. Okay, I'm bleeding but not as heavy as I usually do. I'm not spotting I'm bleeding. Could I be pregnant? What are the chances? I'm having all my symptoms, cramping, using bathroom a lot, breast hurt.
Have you recently had unprotected sex?
If you have, then yes, you could be pregnant.
However, seeing as your only 'symptom' is the fact that your period is a little lighter than usual, I wouldn't worry too much.
Taking a test is the only way to make sure.

can anorexia stop me from having children in the furter
It is possible to conceive while you have (or have had) an eating disorder, but your chances will be reduced.
From here:http://www.fertilityfactor.com/infertility_female_infertility_eating_disorders.html
'Eating disorders have numerous health problems associated with them. Due to the unhealthy weight and/or lack of nutrition, a person with an eating disorder can damage their major organs and throw their hormonal systems out of whack. Since these are not just physical but mental illnesses as well, anorexics, bulimics and compulsive overeaters are more likely to suffer from stress, anxiety and depression.
All of these factors combined can make conception, fertilization of an egg, implantation and carrying a pregnancy to term very difficult and, in some cases, impossible. A poor diet as well as stress and depression can also contribute to the development of other fertility problems such as low libido and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Because of the dramatic weight loss that occurs with anorexia, many anorexics stop getting their period, thereby making it virtually impossible to get pregnant. In some cases, women who have been suffering from anorexia for years may never start their periods again because of the permanent damage they have done to their body.
Associated Problems
Just some of the infertility problems associated with eating disorders include:
Amenorrhea
Irregular menstrual cycles
Reduced egg quality
Ovarian failure
Poor uterine environment
Miscarriage
Anyone who suffers from an eating disorder is strongly encouraged to seek help and treatment before they get pregnant. Getting pregnant while still battling an eating disorder can be detrimental to both your health and your baby’s health. Women with active anorexia are more vulnerable to exhaustion and depression during pregnancy as a result of malnutrition.
Because they are able to maintain a healthy weight, bulimics are more likely to get pregnant while still suffering from their eating disorder. However, the constant purging of food can result in both baby and mother not getting the right nutrients, making it difficult to carry a child to term. One study even showed that bulimics were two times more likely than healthy women to miscarry.
As many as 75 to 80% of women will conceive after undergoing successful treatment and management of an eating disorder. For some women, getting pregnant is exactly what they need to help them completely overcome their disorder. For others, though, pregnancy can cause a relapse. Bulimics are especially vulnerable to relapsing during the postpartum period. However, just because the eating disorder is being treated does not mean that all the associated risks in pregnancy will disappear.
A recent Danish study showed that the effects of an eating disorder can be present in the body years after receiving treatment. Investigator’s found that a woman’s chances of having a high-risk pregnancy are the same for those women treated right before conceiving as they are for those treated 8 years prior to getting pregnant.
If you have an eating disorder but would like to get pregnant, be sure to discuss the issue with your health care provider or fertility specialist. It is best to wait until you have the disorder under control before you get pregnant. During your pregnancy, follow all of the recommendations made by your health care provider and eat a nutritious, well-balanced diet. This will help ensure that you and your baby stay healthy.'

hey i read your advice and loved it but anyway im dating this boy and we used to flirt all the time and now that were dating it feels different and i get serious butterflies when im around him i can barley speak when hes around and i can never find somthing to talk about
help me!!!!!!
love forever,
-Shaunee girl 13
Thanks for inboxing.
I remember when I was your age and I started dating a boy for the first time, I was exactly the same.
I know you won't want to hear it, but at 13 you're still very emotionally immature and having a boyfriend is a big thing to get used to.
It might be a good idea to hang out in a group so that the pressure is off to have a one-on-one conversation with him and you're less nervous. Just try and act as you would with any friend and talk to him about his hobbies and interests. If you can't think of anything to say, ask questions. Eventually the conversation should come naturally and it'll be easier to hang out alone.
If it doesn't get any better, you might have to accept that either you're not compatible or you're just not ready to date yet.

14/f
Yesterday, I went to this street festival where their was live music in Chicago. I was dancing and talking to this cute guy who looked 16-17. Later on we started grinding and just having fun. When I had to leave I kissed him and he gave me his number. We were texting and I decided to ask him his age. Turns out he's 21! So I lied and said I was 17 (I've been told I could pass for 17). He says he wants to see me again but I don't think that will happen since I was just in the city for the weekend. It was all in good fun but I feel kind of weird now.. I know we won't be like a thing and probably won't ever see each other again.
I know it's illegal since I'm a minor but what would you do if you were in my situation. I honestly though he was 16 or 17 but found out too late he was 21.
I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you don't think you're going to see him again. If he contacts you again, either ignore him or tell him you're not interested. That way you don't have to admit you lied and he won't feel bad about kissing a minor.
We all do stupid things and as you didn't know how old he was, it was an honest mistake. As far as I know, just kissing someone isn't illegal and it's highly unlikely either of you would get into trouble. Obviously if anything more had happened it'd be another story.
Just chalk it up to experience and try not to let it bother you.

what does it mean to pop someone's cherry
Generally it means to take their virginity.
More specifically it is the act of breaking someone's hymen (which usually coincides with the loss of virginity).
