I think you should totally listen to "VoiceofReason". As relationships like this can last until after you both graduate but once you graduate you may break up anyway. I know this isn't right but "Friends before Relationships". If her friends don't like you then the only time you guys can hangout is when you're alone. Which I think is great for alone time but other interactions with friends can be fun too.

It totally depends. Some people LOVE them and wear them all the time and others HATE them. I personally like to mix it up once in awhile. Try it out and see how you like it!

Reading the answers below sounded like they were all coming from a guys point of view. I'm not saying any of them were actually wrong but I'll give it to you from my point of view being female and all.

Horny?! Heck yeahh, but the way I was told to act was to walk around pretty much like your shit don't smell. We're told that *ALL* boys will take advantage of us. Not saying you all do.

We also, like to keep things to ourselves and our girlfriends. Have you ever walked by a girl, scratch that we're in packs. Have you ever walked by a pack of girls giggling? We can be giggling about ANYTHING but we do talk about guys alot!!

Someone else mentioned girls and being pregnant. I think this is one of the bigger reasons and I was just telling on of my guy friend this the other day. A guy can go into any drug store and buy a condom. Girls on the other hand, we have to make a doctors appointment and the doctor does all this feeling around and awkwardness and then will prescribed you the pill (most of the time). Then, you take that pill everyday. It's nothing like when you want sex you take it like a condom.

Seems like a lot of work, for some teenage fun, huh?

Lastly, I think overall guys are just more hornier than girls will ever be but girls are. We hide it very well. =]

The Withdrawal Method, aka "Pull Out" method has a 4-27% effective rate. This means out of every 100 women who use this method 27 of them may become pregnant. As you know, pre-cum can still get a person pregnant.

The Condom, has between a 2-18% effective rate. Depending on if it is used correctly and doesn't break. Say if you use two things like a male condom and something else you are more than likely not to get pregnant. I always think of it this way, he bought the condom to protect himself and you should do the same by protecting yourself. Than, say one things fails, you have the back up already in place!

You may be pregnant, we can't tell but from what how many times you've had sex. Sometimes protected and not. I would go see a doctor. Next time, be a little more careful and think about YOUR body first.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org is a great site to use to get information on anything Sex related.

One last thing, when you worry, your period gets delayed.

Hey, I live in South Jersey! Well, whenever someone cuts a tree down we notice ants always appear in the house more. We've also been seeing ants here and there. I think this is because of the weather change. We also have our screen door open more and there's a little opening letting them in. Or any opening anywhere in your house. So tiny, it's not that noticable to the human eye.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I usually trim it down and the next time I get in the shower, use a razor downward or sideways. Very carefully. It seems to work for me. I never get any irritation or bumps. The first day it'll itch as your body is getting used to the change.

If it still irritates try conditioner. I heard it works very well but I've never tried it.

Depending on where you both live, there are tons of parks and such around where I live. It's always nice to go walk around a park, sit on the bench, and even on the swings if they're available.

No, I don't think it's weird at all. All those peopl may be happy now and everything but, I think in the long run, you will be more happier than some of those other people.
I personally think you should wait for the perfect girl and make sure you will marry the girl.
You have class and a nice future ahead of you. Enjoy every minute of it! =]

Did you put a deposit down? If not, then you haven't exactly "decided." Colleges want money, it's a business. If you don't pay then they may call ask ask for your deposit and that's when you can say nevermind.
You won't HAVE to attend this school but becareful waiting to long may lose your spot here.
Good luck! =]

For one thing, where did you hear this from? Do you know if its true??

Secondly, I've had boyfriends that have slow danced with other girls, it wasn't like he was in their pants or anything, they didn't have a date and were kinda alone and look dejected so he danced with her once. Now, the dirty dancing may be a little too far. Talk to him. Find out if it's true. Boys have a different mind than girls do. We tend to over react on the littlest things he does and that is not good because then he'll get mad and this will end in a fight.

So, don't start a fight over something so small. He may not have realized he was doing anything wrong. In his mind he thinks he was at a dance and dancing.

Yes periods do ruin everything. I think every female has or will say that in their lifetime. Getting on to the subject. =]

Have you tried the junior pack? I tried and tried to put tampons in different kinds too. Then, I bought the Junior size, I guess it's for little kids who have their period and want to use tampons, i don't know. The junior size is much, much smaller then a normal tampon. They inserted very easily for me. Take a deep breath before putting it in then after its in, take another deep breath. =]

Now, if tampons still aren't an option. How is your period? When will you be getting it? I ask this because if your period is light, water will stop the blood temporarily but if you have a heavy period, I wouldn't suggest trying it. Also, depending on when you get you period, say your staying there for a week and you get it in the middle or near the end, again depending on your flow, if it starts out light, go swimming and you'll be fin for that day atleast.

The pill, doesn't kick in overnight. If you have a pretty regular period as it is, it's not going to mess with too much. Birth control doesn't *skip* periods. They may depending on your body but you don't know that. Birth Control is for sexually active people, irregular periods and severe acne.

(tampons)You don't have to have *experience* to use them in a month. After the first time you get it in you'll realize exactly how they work and what you were doing wrong and will be able to use it everytime.

Another thing, below I read how somebody was putting tampons down, well there are risks at using them, if your just planning on using them once or twice for a couple hours, its not going to hurt you. Those risks are for people who wear them more than 8 hours and for the whole time of their period.

I'm 18, and I'm still a virgin. I chose to be, there were many instances where I felt like I was being forced or felt I was about to have sex but I never did. I always think in my mind, I want to be mature when I have sex, not 15, 16 or 17. Your young and stupid. I felt at those ages It's all peer pressure. Whenever, I feel like your feeling (lack of experience, everyone's doing it except me) I ask myself:
*Would you rather have sex and then the guy just leaves you, how would I feel if that happened?
*Would you have sex and then realize your not ready and then the guy wants to do it all the time?
*Do I want to have to visit the gynocologist (sp?) and explain to my parents why?

Still being a virgin may be embarrassing but I'm proud. In today's society not many people make it that far and I'm not regretting it at all. I feel better about myself and that I've made a good decision for waiting. Don't take it soo hard, don't you want to do it with Prince Charming and not some drunk guy at a bar for a one time only deal?

I usually charge $6 an hour for 1 kid. A buck or so more for each additional kid. Also, most of the time since your a teenager the parents will give you whatever they think is appropriate and all of the times thats happened to me it's always been reasonable. Sometimes they give like $5 or $10 more than what I expected. Which makes me happy. =]

And by tips, what do you mean? I'm guessing on babysitting. Well, firstly it depends on the ages and genders of the kids.

Infants, pretty much just eat and sleep and you most likely won't be won't be watching this age because of your age and experience.

The next stage is the toddler stage. *I've only ever experienced girls at this stage* If I were you I would keep a close eye on these kids, they can walk. They can get into anything and everything. You will have to know and be able to change diapers at this age, so be prepared. (It's not hard, smelly at times, but not hard.)

Next, I'm going to put Preschoolers and School-aged together because they're practically the same when it comes to watching them. At this stage each child has his/her own personality, some may like to color while others may like to do crafts. You will have to get to know these kids to find out what they like best. These kids should know how to use the potty but I've had instances where there were "accidents".

Also, I did a Babysitting course with the American Red Cross, you should look into one in your area. They go over the basics and get you CPR certified. It's always nice to know what to do in an emergency even if you probably won't need it. Don't forget to get some kind of phone numbers in case something does go wrong you can get ahold of somebody. If you have to feed the children do ask if they have any allergies.

I think I have covered everything. Hope I helped. =]

Definitely listen to Alin75. He knows what he's talking about, but I just wanted to add. Depending on how much she smokes, take it slowly. Like Alin75 said about talking to her, engage in any normal conversation and you should compromise though. Maybe she smokes a whole pack a day, ask her to cut down. That also cuts down on the $$ too. Take it day by day and quitting doesn't happen over night. My father still smokes but he has cut down alot, esp. for everyone elses health. =]

You know what I learned. Just go out there be happy that your single and let the guy come to you. He will like you for who you are and not what you "put out" to be. Go back to the basics smile, laugh, just have fun! =]

I had warts on my fingers when I was little and I never infected anyone. There is over-the-counter medicine or creams or whatever to get rid of them nd they work. Thats what I ended up using.

My personal opinion, is its not going to work out. I know you don't want to hear it, I wouldn't either. I've been with plenty of guys younger or older and the ones that go for sex (or sexual) right away, I get dumped or dump. Because, if you don't want to have sex then the guy your with should encourage you not to, not bring you down right? I know how it feels. I'm 17 and recently dated a younger guy. All he wanted was sex from me(and failed =]). I'm still a virgin, and proud of it. Also, ask yourself, if he's not a virgin, How many other girls has he slept with? Was it love or lust? By the way your talking, you want love right?

The age between you I think is totally fine, its a year maybe a little less.

Again, that was from experience and my trial and error. Always ask and reassure yourself is it love or lust? And which do you want?

Hope I helped =]

Ut-ohh, Somebodies been a bad texter. =P
No, but they can look them up but only if a)Cops are involved or b)You know the exact date and time and for some reason need it.

But it won't show up on the bill. The number you sent will show up.

There's a site called Etsy.com. That's mostly a Craft selling site. Very good for starting out and getting the word out there. Join sites like Craftster.org and share your work and you site. I'm 17 and am trying to do the same thing and thats what I use and I will be going to college next year but I won't be able to start Fashion Design until 2011 for certain reasons but yeahh go for it!!

Someone on here showed me this really cool site. Which pays you for doing surveys and you must be 13yrs old or older to do it. It's called CashCrate. I've been a member for about a month and I think it's great. I've gotten an actual check from. Yes, they send you a check so you don't even need a credit card or nothing. They also have a great Referral program which means you get 20% of the person who referred you profits and if they refer you would get 10% of profits. I think it's great! I left my referral link below.

I've checked reviews and everything on google and stuff couldn't find many bad things about it, So I gave it a whirl. If you have any questions and want more, PM me anytime. =]]
Hope I helped. There's not much you can do when your 13... I'm 17 with bills to be paid and can't find a job, most jobs want 18.
