about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.


I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice

alrightie. so im close friends with a lot of guys and stuff. and tonight were going to the movies. my 3 girlfriends and 6 of my guy friends. there is this one boy that i think is eally cute. but im not sure if ilike him. i think i do but jsut the fact that he has a girlfriend is holding me back from liking him. so its me my 2 other girlfriends the guy i think is cute (derek) and 4 of my other/his guy friends. well this week derek has been ignoring his girlfriend. im not sure if they got in a fight or not. but he hasnt been talking to her online/myspace/on the fone/ on AIM. he called me a couple of nights and hes like im bored whats up? and stuff and liek i knew he wasnt on the computer because i can always hear him. hes a loud typer. and since i was on the fone with him he couldnt be with her. and she comments him on myspace sayin baby whats up? havnt heard from you in a while. well we have had this movie night planned since last week. and today his girlfriend called me and yelling at me telling me that im stealing her boyfriend. and im like what? so i asked him about it today and hes like me and her just got into a fight today because she thinks im cheating. but i know thats a lie. because my friend was with him. so does he like me? i mean were going to the movies and i wasnt going to go because im really tired but he like wants me to go hes like i miss you and i havnt hung out with you in a while. and were going to a romance movie. and i know his friends like my friends who are coming. and i just dont know. like what if he makes a move? i mean he has a girlfriend. and the fact that his girlfriend called me thinking that im stealing him. when me and her are like best friends. and now she hates me. also, she might show up to the movies. i was reading my friends comments on myspace. so i have no idea what to do. and i have been trying to call him and hes like in 4 text messages:
1. Look, im sorry i cnat talk.
2. Ok....uhhmmm..so...
and then i texted im liek c na you text cuz you said you cant talk?
he said:
3.Very true. lol sorry i sound wierd. uhm yeah
then im like are you ok? anyways how much money should i take tonite?
then hes like:
4: Ehhh im fine. dont worry bout the money cya tonite

and he normally doesnt write like that..
and the first letter of each text message...spells love...im so confused on what to do. the movies at 1130. i think. so yeah. help!!!

I think you're reading into this too much. It could just be a coincidence that the first letter of his texts spelt out love.

His girlfriend is already going psycho on you & you & her boyfriend haven't even done anything. She's already freaking out, so maybe you should back off this kid. I mean, you like him, he might like you, but his girlfriend is ready to slam you. Just be friends with him until they're done, & then make a move. And take your sisters advice. She's smart.

Hiii, I've been going out with my current boyfriend for about 3 months, and he's a year older then me, and is a Freshman, so we don't go to the same school. so, i only see him once a week. lately, things have felt weird between us, and i don't really like to talk on the phone to him, and i really like him a lot still, i just know i do. but, i like this one boy thats in my grade. and we flirt a LOT. i feel like i'm hurting my boyfriend, even though NO ONE knows, but me. i don't wanna break up with my boyfriend, but i don't wanna hurt anyone. i don't know what to doo. help?

If you still like your boyfriend, then stay with him. You've been together for three months, and things are going good, right? If they're not, try fixing it. Call him more, hang out as much as possible & do more things together.

As for this other guy, you might not wanna do anything with him because for one you're taken, and you're happy. But if you don't feel like things between you & your boyfriend are going to get better, then you need to break up with him because staying with him when you don't have feelings for him anymore is not only leading him on, but it's wrong.

i hang out with the "popular" group at school because im really good friends with them and i also have this friend who's not as popular but i still love her. i've heard alot of people saying that shes trying not to be best friends with me anymore just plain friends, because she thinks im always hanging out with my other friends. im friends with my other friends just as much as she ..like i love all of them but i really dont want to lose her as a best friend. what should i do?

16/f by the way.

Talk to her about it. She hasn't talked to you about it, so you need to be the bigger woman & do that. Ask her why she's doing this & tell her that you don't want to lose her as your best friend. She should understand, and if she doesn't wanna be best friends anymore, but just plain friends, then you need to accept that.

I am 15. My boyfriend, 'Danny' is 17. We have been going out for 6 months. I really like him, and he is really sweet. But lately, he has been acting strange. He rarely talks to me outside of class or hugs me. He doesn't call anymore, talk to any of my friends, and has just been aloof. At first, I was worried, until my friend said she saw him hugging some girl (who dislikes me) and making out with her and hanging with her friends (who dislike me also since their ringleader does). I'm pretty sure he wants to break up with me, but I don't know why, since I don't know if what my friend said is true. should I confront him about it, and how? Or should I just let it go and move on?

Confront him. Say you heard some things but aren't going to believe them until you hear his side of the story. If these things are in fact true, then dump him. If they're not, then you've got nothing to worry about & you need to ask your friend what the hell she was really seeing & why she lied. Then again, he could be pulling a fast one on you. But, don't accuse him of anything until you hear his side. Just ask about it.

I am experiencing mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, headaches, fatigue, stuffy nose (something terrible with no signs of cold/flu to accompany it), a larger than usual appetite, and sore breasts.

My cycles usually run between 28 to 31 days. The past 2 months they have been 30 days exactly. I am 2 days from testing right now but the not knowing is just killing me.

I have never been on birth control. My husband and I had unprotected sex on the 8th - 14th of April, each night. The 18th and again on the 22 - 23 of April, each night.

The first day of my last period was April 1, the last day, April 7.

Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant?

Sex with no protection can lead to pregnancy. So you being pregnant is a definite possibility. The best way to find out would to get a test. You can't just go by the signs because you could be wrong & end up freaking yourself out over nothing.

me and my boyfriend have sex alot and it seems like every time we do i get so tired and my legs get stiff so eventually it gets boring. What can i do to not be so tired, and have it boring lol to spice it up or something

Try new positions with each other, or do foreplay before hand. Don't forget to use protection.

okay Let me ask you all who are over 18. have you have anybody who maybe older then you or maybe same age say hey Kid.. you know like a nick name you know hey sport or hey bud.. well my friend take so serouly she dont understand. she think calling her kid. i not i just say hey kid. everybody do that to me. i am 21 years old. my brother and my uncle couple of friends say hey kid.. not perfer being one or anything.. anybody understand?
Thanks

She's just sensitive about it. Give her a nickname she won't take seriously. Or ask her what she'd like to be called as a nickname, and then call her by that. If she doesn't have something she'd prefer to be called, then call her by her name.

ok i dont know why but im always attracted to pervy guys! haha well the crush i had in 6th grade turns out to be pretty pervy, and now the guy i like my friend says is pretty pervy too. well they're also pretty cute and funny.. why do i keep falling for these guys and not like.. un-pervy guys? or maybe pervy guys like turn me on or something? ohgod that sounded weird hahaha

I don't know what it is about perverted guys either. They're always so much easier to flirt with & get close with because you know they'll do what you want them to. If you like this guy, tell him. He might just like you back, and if he doesn't then it's not the end of the world.

this is super long, sorry!

Alright, I'm 16/f, and there's a guy I like, he's almost 18. I'd think we're pretty good friends, we met at the beginning of the school year, and we were assigned to work together on a year-long project. He's totally sweet and cute, and one of my good guy friends.

He has a girlfriend (i've seen them together, and she treats him terribly, and they always fight, but apparantly now they've exchanged promise rings?), he's only mentioned her to me twice, not by name, and one time he mumbled and lowered his voice when he said it.

He's ALWAYS doing flirty things. We've talked a LOT about important things. I'll give you some examples:

-ear blowing
-leg rubbing
-back massages
-ALWAYS doing silly stuff/stuff to freak me out, like giving me a condom for christmas
-one time, he said that my shirt was interesting, and i got all confused, and he said don't worry about it and was going to pat me on the shoulder but i freaked and said, 'no, don't, i have cat hair on it,' and he said, 'oh, okay, then,' and started to walk away, ran back to me, ran his hand down my arm, and grinned.
-he's talked about how nervous he is for college, and how one time he got so stressed out that he experimented with weed.
-he's always doing favors for me.
-he asked me to do his stage makeup for him, and was teasing me about whether or not i knew what i was doing (I thought he was serious, but my friend, who i completely trust and would not lie to me told me he said it jokingly)
-but recently, he's started giving me handshakes, which are apparantly done in a jokey way as well

This is only a scratch on the surface of all of the things that have happened. Should I tell him I like him? Does he like me (my friends who've seen us together think so.) He's a senior, and so will be going to college (6 hours away, where his gf goes, too), we're friends on facebook so we can keep in touch through that. but time is running out, I need to know what I need to do. I don't want to mess up our friendship, but I feel like I'm lying to him by not telling him how I feel.

Thanks if you can help!

I think he likes you, but you should hold off on telling him you like him for a while. He does have a girlfriend & whether she treats him like shit or not, they're still together. Don't make a move or tell him anything until they are 100% broken up with NO chances of getting back together. I'm pretty sure if you were his girlfriend & someone did that to you, you'd be pissed. And besides, if she can make his life horrible, imagine what she can do to yours. Just wait it out, and then tell him.

Is it normal to have one boob thats larger than the other?
Is there anything you can do so that they are the same size without stuffing?

Thanks.

And if it helps I'm almost 15.

Yah, it's normal. I don't think there's anything you can do to even them out, but I'm pretty sure they do that as you get older.

ok. i jsut love the feeling when im reading about sexual stuff or someting like that. like my vagina starts beating and i jsut love it. and like its jsut great. but i mean i also want to do like dry sex or dry humping which i do with a pillow or something. and its alright i guess but i mean i know it will be jsut great with another guy. but when i tried it on my boyfriend like when we were in my room making out we were on my bed and like his leg was between mine and i started dry humping and he just laughed and let me do it like as in it was cute or something. but he never rubs against me or anything. and im always pushing myself onto him and stuff and he likes it but he wont do it to me. and he always says he will but never does. well actually im not sure if i should consider what im doing dry humping. i mean its not that intimate or strong. im scared that he'll make me stop. but i love the feeling. so i want to do it. and my pillow is getting annoying. and im scared if i do go full force that i will cum like crazy and he'll get wierd. well how do i get him to dry hump. and what can i do to make it more pleasurable for me =]

Talk to your boyfriend about it. Tell him that you want to make things better sexually for the both of you, & that you're ready to possibly go to the next step in the relationship. Whether it's dry sex, wet sex, sex sex, whatever, you're ready for it & you'd like to go through with whatever you can to satisfy the both of you. Your boyfriend should understand, and if you ever do have sex, make sure you use protection.

what are some good dirty things to say when having sex? or do you not say anything at all? also what are some good things to say for phone sex
?

If you don't know what to say during either, then you probably shouldn't be doing either of them.

Okay so theres ths guy that i really like: (im gunna put it in like..bullets so its easier to read):
It all started last month, around the beginning of March.
We've met before, but never really talked much because we don't go to the same school, but he lives in the same town as me.
We work at the same place, and that's basically how we started talking.
So over the weeks in March, we started to text all the time, every day; from the time we'd wake up to the time we'd go to sleep.
Everything was going well, and I got the chance to get to know him a bit more and he seemed like a really sweet guy. He just had bad luck with past relationships, because of the way he was treated.
The only problem: we never got the chance to hang out because I had drivers ed three times a week, basketball two times a week and work on the weekends.
This was a problem because he was always bugging me about hanging out, but I never had the time to.

So everything was going pretty well.
APRIL:
So he then invites me at the last minute to some semi-formal thing (on a Tuesday) and the semi was that Saturday.
I'm not able to go, because my parents don't know him and I wasn't getting great grades at the time.
Saturday comes and he's really, reallyyy sad that I can't go.
A couple of weeks go by, and everything is still going well.
Then, all of a sudden, he just starts acting wierd, and this carries on for tthree days.
I had to work one of the days and he said: "Oh, maybe I'll stop by,"
So he stops by, and we didn't talk but just smiled at each other. He stayed for about an hour.
After work I check my messages, and there are three from him explaining how he was sorry he acted the way he did.
Days go by, and then it's vacation.

Since I go to a catholic school in a different state (but we live in the same state) and he goes to public school in the state we both live in, our vacations are different.

I ended up going to florida for vacation, for a week. We texted the whole time I was down there and things seemed to be fine.
In the last two days I was down there, he didn't respond to my text messages.
I was worried something was wrong.
I got back from vacation, all happy to be home (sadly lol) and then I just look on his myspace (although I'm not allowed to have my own) and it says "in a relationship".
so I'm like: "Ohh great, what the hell happened now?". Then he signs on that night and tells me that his phone has been dead and it won't hold the charge.
So I asked him why it said "in a relationship" on his myspace and he's all like: "What? i thought you weren't allowed on myspace? I thought it was blocked?". And I'm like: "Nooo... It's not blocked. I just can't have a myspace,"

And so then he says: "About that... I thought you were just leading me on the whole time, and we haven't even hung out yet, so I was getting tired of it." This obviously means that he now has a girlfriend.

So I say: "Okay, I told you before vacation that after I come back, we could hang out because drivers ed would be done with."
He says: "Well, I don't remember that, and you didn't seem like you were interested in me that much, because you never made plans to hang out."

I definitley remember making plans to TRY to hang out but they didn't work because of drivers ed.

and then today at work he didnt talk to me. we made eye contact a few times, but nothing from there. like...i looked up and saw him looking at me and then i looked away and did the same.

Now he just won't talk to me or anything, and I don't know what to do.
What would you do if you were me?


Thanks,
Steph

Try talking to him about things. Ignoring each other & just staring at each other won't help the situation.

Sit down with him, or call him & talk to him that way. Explain to him how it is you feel, and why. Tell him you wanted to hang out but things didn't work out, and now you're available. When you have things planned that are mandatory, you can't clear your schedule for something that's optional. You have responsibilities.

If your friend doesn't seem to understand & he stays mad at you, then he's not worth it. Dumb things like this shouldn't be enough to make two people stop talking. Make sure he gets that through his head.

hey. i have two best friends. and this year it was always the 3 of us. but not it is starting to just be the 2 of them. they constantly leave me out of plans, and then if the other cant make it, im the backup. or they feel bad and invite me later. i dont like it at all. and before i've told htem about it and they are just like "oh i feel bad". it really makes me mad, and they have been treating me badly for a while now, and all of my other friends wonder why i put up with it. what should i do. because one of the friends i have been wicked close wiht for 2 years.

thanksss in advance

I wonder why you put up with it too. They're ditching you & leaving you out, and then when you say something, they give you some bullshit about how they feel bad, only to do it again. They're not sorry, and they're not sincere, and they're not your friends. Start hanging out with your other friends & stop hanging out with these two. They're fake, and rude. Simple as that.

I`m only 13 and my parents treat me like I`m 18 and they won't buy me ANYTHING! They make me pay for my clothes, my food when I go out to eat, staying at hotels for a family vacation, and basically everything. They won't even buy me a pack of gum! I'm only 13 and I can't really have a well-paying job and I already walk dogs but that can't pay for everything.. I can't even shop anymore because I don't have enough money for more then 2 shirts and as soon as I buy 2 shirts I have to save up for another 3 months until I have any money again.

It really annoys me because my friends always brag about how their mom took them to the mall and bought them 9 bags of clothes and they didn't have to pay. My parents haven't bought me any clothes since I was 11. My mom never takes me to the mall because she says "I don't like to drive and it's too far away." Yeah, the mall is literally 10 minutes away. I still have all winter clothes to survive in this summer because I have NO money to buy anything and my birthday has already passed.

Don't you think it's harsh to make a 13 year old pay for EVERYTHING including like gum and stuff?! The most I can do is walk dogs and it's not like they are punishing me for being a bad kid because I get straight A's and I'm never in trouble so it's not a punishment.. I think they are so harsh because clothes are a necessity and all of my friends sit on their butts and get everything handed to them and I`m trying to pay for everything and it's not going to work out.. I've already tried telling them that it's impossible to pay for my own wardrobe and food and stuff when my only way of getting money is walking dogs because my parents don't pay me for helping out around the house and stuff.. so how can I get them to lighten up and at least pay for SOME of my clothes and other stuff? because it would be helpful if they pitched in a little bit.

P.S if you think I should start babysitting to make money how do I bring this up with my parents?? and I ONLY want to babysit for my neighbors so should I tell them straight out I want to babysit or should my mom tell them?

Although this may be a harsh thing to do to just a 13 year old, I think it is a valuable lesson. Not only are you learning responsibility, but you're also learning to earn your things such as your money, and everything else.

And you can do something your friends can't. Your friends can run to mommy & daddy when they want new things, but you have the power to earn it. They get things handed to them, so they never really learn what it's like to be responsibile & earn their stuff.

If you would like to babysit as something aside from dog walking, then go for it. Don't charge too much though or people won't want you to do the job. Also, in order for your parents to lighten up, present the idea to them.

If you just sit there & yell & scream about how they never do anything for you, then nothing is going to change. Don't cop an attitude, stay calm, stay strong & stay easy going. Present strong ideas to them, and they should go along with it.

i send these messages to my friends and only one replyed. 1st message was "luv you, i'm partying with angie but i'm partying for you cause its your brithday. I love u always" that was to my friend A. and the other was "luv you, im partying with angie" to friend B. Friend B send back saying " R U drunk?" "yes but still luv ya sister" i send. but friend A didnt send back till the next day but send something elus "I'm sleepy!!!!!!" so do you think friend A was freak out by the message or new i was drunk and silly?
just cerious cause they both always send back a good relpy. but friend A didnt.

You probably made your friends feel bad by saying that you were partying without them. I would feel bad if my friend partied with someone else on my birthday. I wouldn't feel too bad about it though, just explain it to your friends & see what's up.

hi im 14 6ft tall and weigh 300 pounds ish arg no judgement please i really want to loose weight but i cant move because i have a shattered hip and pelvis after beign attacked. can anyone give me any advice ??? please thanks

If you haven't seen the doctor for you injuries yet, then I suggest you do as soon as possible. Wait until those things heal up before you begin any type of exercise.

The only thing you CAN do while these heal is to eat healthy. Get rid of junk food. Get rid of snacks, get rid of sweets, and get rid of fast food. Drink 8 glasses of water, 4 glasses of milk & eat veggies. Take vitamins, eat fruits, and make sure to eat meat so you can get lots of protein.

Once your hip & pelvis heal, then go out for jogs or walks, and work yourself up to running. Join a gym if at all possible & work out there. Maybe see a nutritionist to get you on a good, healthy diet plan. Good luck, and sorry to hear about your injuries.
