Okay so I had to go swimming with my period yesterday. I never tried a tampon before. I wasn't scared when trying to put it in. I just don't get how!! I read the directions and stuff but I just don't get it. Does it like, slide in? I kept pushing in all different spots but it's like it wouldn't go in. I want to start using tampons but I'm just not sure. When I thought I had it in, like 1/4 of a cm of it was hanging out along with the string, but it took soo long to do that, so I just left it in there and went swimming. It felt SO weird swimming, maybe cause it was my first time with a tampon, or it wasn't in right. When I took it out about 3-3 1/2 hours later, it sort of unfolded at the top, and there was like a very very tiny amount of blood on my underwear. I just need help in how to put it in the right way!!

- You could be putting it in incorrectly, when you buy tampons there is usually a small folded paper in the box that tells you how to use it, if not there are numerous places online with directions and drawn pictures, they're not graphic or anything so don't worry. When you've put it in correctly only the string should be hanging out- if it doesn't feel right then it's in wrong, but keep in mind that the first time you use them it's something new so your mind might tell you it doesn't feel right when it's actually been done properly. Just read the directions and if you have to use two or three without inserting them and see how they work.
- The tampon might be too big or too small, look around for different sizes and absorbency and see what works for you. Start with normal, and if it seems too big or it's too absorbent get a smaller size. If not, work your way up to higher absorbency.
- On the rare occasion that you can't get used to tampons there are alternatives such as not swimming or birth control which will cause your period to stop all together, I don't suggest the latter unless it's a must though and you need to see your doctor about it first because there are slight complications that go along with it.

i really like this guy that i met this summer at camp. he is two years older than me and lives 4 hours away. i wasnt going to give him my number or anything and just forget about it but after basically a whole week of flirting he gave me his email. we emailed back and forth basically everyday. i gave him my number and he called me and everything was going great. i felt comfortable talking to me and he made me happy. eventually after like two months of constant emailing and phone calls i went with a friend to go see him and also another friend of ours. it was the best time of my life we hung out and just did random things. we didnt kiss or anything like that but it was a great time anyway. the next day i got a voicemail from him and he was seeing if we got home ok and i thought it was really cute and called him back and talked for a while. next thing i know he asked me to his homecoming and i said yes of course. but then the next email i recieved from him he said that he was maybe going to go with another girl and i was crushed. i told him it was fine and i was ok with it. but i really wasnt. now i am just not really sure what to do. he said he is going to come and see me and we can hang out but i am not sure what to think anymore.

It could be several things, if you guys are clicking so well and he truly has no problem with your appearance then it could just be that he doesn't want to be difficult- you did say you live four hours away. And it might also be that he doesn't want a long distance relationship or he's afraid of them- you make it sound like that's what it's turning into.
But if he hasn't made it clear to you that he wants a relationship then you need to re-evaluate the situation, keeping in mind that guys think different than girls- and ask yourself if he's looking for a friend in you (because friends can flirt and talk 24/7, trust me).
Maybe he's shy or he feels like you didn't truly want to do it- your best bet is to ask him nicely, but be honest about your feelings, if you talk as much as you make it sound like then you must be very close. He should understand.
Best of luck!
PS: Long distance can work but it always takes more effort from both sides, and a very good deal of trust to be maintained.

Account Settings > Spam > Uncheck "Require Approval Before Posting Comments" or whatever it is.
|
this is really weird, my font on aim randomly decided to change on me.
it used to be size 8 in like tahoma, but all of a sudden it changed to like size 14 in arial. but the weirdest thing is that it still says my font is size 8 in tahoma. ive tried to change it and then change it back, but nothings working!
please help! (link)

Maybe it's the settings on your computer rather than you settings on AIM. Unlikely, but you never know.

I have been with my boyfriend for over two years now. He's always been so good to me and I love him so much.
A couple weeks ago, I went on his computer and saw that he left a comment on this girl's picture saying how beautiful she was. I can't explain it, but this literally broke my heart. Probably because it was so unlike him to do something like that. I confronted him about it and he said it didn't mean anything and it wasn't a big deal and he was sorry. I believe him. I really do. But I can't understand why it still hurts me so much to think about it. It still kills me inside even though he really didn't do anything that horrible. Sometimes when I'm talking to him I'll remember what he did and I'll get upset about it all over again and he doesn't understand why it's such a big deal.
Can anyone explain why I can't get through this? I don't want our relationship to all of a sudden be bad over a stupid comment. (link)
|
I'm often in this situation, though I am a girl I play the "guy" usually. (My boyfriend is overly sensitive I believe.)
He doesn't usually tell girls that they're beautiful so it's out of the ordinary to you, the initial shock of it not only surprised you but made you feel threatened. Even though you know it wasn't a big deal at all you're bothered by that and it's simply because you care. It's much better to be caring and feel threatened than to be impersonal and act like it's nothing.
A girl's mind works differently than a guy's. For example if you ask a the one you care about "did you see that new movie with Angeline Jolie? Wasn't she pretty?" even though you asked and you know she's a celebrity he'll never meet. You'll immediately assume (often without even realizing that you're doing so) that he prefers the celebrity (or in this case other girl) to you.
It's how girls are. We're born looking for security and love, give it some time and you'll be fine. Don't overreact, but be open and honest with him about how you feel. If you guys have been together this long you should be just fine. (:

to lighten the color of your eyebrows without going to a salon? im getting my hair highlited and my eyebrows are already darker than my hair for some weird reason. (link)
|
Just go to a salon, if you've already gotten highlights and ask them what shade they think it should be changed to, if you agree then do it. If you get it done before you highlight (not suggested) then tell them how much you're going to highlight. Eyebrows shouldn't match your hair perfectly, it makes you look plain.
I've heard some people say box dye works but I wouldn't try it if I were you.
[Be glad you don't have strawberry blonde hair and light blonde [[almost invisible]] eyebrows, I do.]

Ever since my computer was fixed, on some websites, some text would be too small to read and I'd have to copy it and paste it somewhere else to read it! Is there any way I can fix this? (I have AOL 9.0 optimized SE ((security edition)) + dialup....) (link)

If you try things and communicate you'll be just fine, this happens to most girls, me included.
Preferences are different for all girls but it's not at all difficult and most guys will help you out. Hope I helped you.

I am wear a size B bra.
Where can I find cute bras?
OTHER THAN Victoria's Secret.
please?
(link)
| |
Any department stores and stuff like that. Anywhere really.. they just won't be as expensive. Wal-Mart has FANTASTIC bras.. cute, sexy, whatever you're looking for, and they're cheap so you can buy loads. pop off the tag and nobody will ever know.

heres the thing. i do fine not pigging out or eating bad foods during the day, but as soon as night comes i'm bored and have nothing to do. so i just eat, like nothing has calories & im a bottom less pit. its horrible, i want to stop, but my body has gotten so used to pigging out late at night and even if im not hungry i still eat it because im bored. (link)
|
I suggest you find something to do to take your mind off of eating because you're bored. The best thing you could do in this situation would be to BREAK THE HABIT, so that's what you should do. Just cut down on the snacks and occupy yourself more.. also replace the snakes with something healthy.
If you're watching television and eating it causes you to eat more as well, because you don't pay attention to how much you're eating.

School is starting in like less than a month...
and the cross country team is going to start training really soon. The thing is.. out of about the 200 kids in my class NOBODY is doing cross country because the coach is an ahole.
Plus, i have to run 3 MILES this year if i do it. And i cant stand the coach at all either. I dont do any other sports..i mean i love basketball but isnt it really hard to make the team in highschool?
I've already got running shoes, but my mom said we can return them if we need to. Do most people do sports in highschooL?? Cuz if i dont do cross country i will still go to the health club and run anyway...i just wont have the stupid coach. I would try out for the basketball team but our class is HIGHLY competitive in the sport and theres NO WAY i would make it. The only reasons i would do cross country is to be healthy, and to have a sport when trying to go to college. But i would hate having to run alone, and the coach is completely HORRIBLE. (link)

It's simple; do whatever makes you happy.

You can find stuff like that anywhere; the mall.. try like Wet Seal and stuff, or department/dicsount/thrift stores when you're just browsing through. It's really cute though, I hope you find it.

Hello,
I think I have a problem. I have known this guy since we were in diapers. We used to be best friends. He is so sweet and he loves the lord as much as I do. And I think that that is great. I told him how I feel ( I like him) and he told me that he wants to be friends right now but he wants to have a girlfriend when he is older. But he is flirting with me alot and he has told me that he likes me but is afraid that if we ever do break up then he thinks that we might loose our friendship. Please help me. I think thta i love him!!! (link)
|
By telling you that he is afraid it will ruin the friendship he's showing you that he values your friendship and that he does like you, and in the event that you broke up relationship-wise he would be unhappy without your friendship.
He probably likes you too, and if you hang in there you'll probably end up dating, and this is the part where I give you the same old three words I give anyone about relationships. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Always be open and honest, but allow eachother privacy if you do get into a relationship.. but even friendships work like that.
I'd say you guys will get together sooner than you think so don't pressure him about it, just wait and be honest about how you feel.
I hope I helped you some.

seems to copy me alot but i dont know if she realizes shes doing it. I WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING TO HER shes my best freind. but i really hate it. what should i do? (link)
|
She might not be meaning to copy you at all. I had a best friend, (Adrienne) from 3rd grade until now and I'm in High School and eventually she picked up some of the things I did and I picked up some of the things she did, it wasn't because we wanted to be the other, it was because we were so close we just picked up little habits.
And she might also be trying to please you because she's a little bit insecure and she wants you to like her more. Just be a good friend and things will improve. If you think she'll understand then talk to her about it.
And then again she might be jealous too_ just letting you know some alternatives.
Hope I helped you.

me and my crush,we known each other since last december,he's in marine,right now he's in Nevada dessert for his training,after that he have to go to Iraq.I like him so much.he can't take his phone or whatever{with him}he sent me a message to myspace one time{when he got a chance} and last two days ago,he called me around 3;00 am..I woke up at that time but I din't familiar with that phone number that why I didn't pick up the phone{I was so regret}he told me "he miss me very very much and thinking about me a lot!"{I never hope that}I was crying at that time,till this day.I kept his voicemail and listen that again and again..cuz I miss him so much too.he said he call me back if he can.I miss him so bad..that can make me cry everynight,,I just want him to know that I miss him so much too,,, (link)
|
Aww. I really hope you talk to him soon, but you have to keep in mind that this situation isn't all about you- it's about him too, honey. He's stressed out and he probably misses you too. You have to be strong for him, because that helps him and that's the best way to show him you care. You might not (and he might not) realize it just yet but someday you'll both realize that it was the best plan. It will help you both alot.
Best of luck, hon!

theres this guy i like and i want to know some ways i could "accidenly" bump into him or talk to him his popular and into sports im middle on the pop scale and im very into sports what r some good ways to get his interest in detaill plz!!! thx (link)
| |
I don't suggest going and playing with him, it might be too obvious if he is the type that alot of people like. If possible, just wait for an opportunity and always be looking for one, if you do this then you're sure to eventually get an opportunity to get a word in with him and if you say the right things and peak his interests a word will turn into a conversation and so on. But try not to make it obvious. Good luck!

i seriously hate my body. everyone tells me i'm really thin but i always find something wrong with myself..and i hate my boobs. they're a size C (sometimes D) and people always talk about them and i HATE the attention and always feeling insecure in a bathingsuit because of them..my friends tell me that if they had boobs like me theyd show them off and be happy but i hate them and have seriously considered a breast reduction. i just want to be able to fit into bathingsuits and shirts like everyone else can.
i just need a way to feel better about my body. can anyone help me? (link)
| |
Nobody can really help you, you have to find it in yourself to be happy with the way you are. Most people have these problems at one point or another. All people do, some more serious than others. There's always someone envying you. Someone. People are their own toughest critics, so basically you're just being too hard on yourself.

i hope this doesnt offend anyone. my family is catholic, but i live in a place where almost everyone is baptist. all my friends go to this one really huge baptist church. and i guess at this church they believe that catholics arent really christians and wont go to heaven. i know people have different beliefs and im fine with that. but sometimes people will say stuff that really hurts me. like once i was showing my friend and her mom my baby pictures and there was a picture of me in my baptism gown. and her mom started telling me how my church is wrong to baptize babies, and how shes so glad her daughter was baptised the "right" way. and then last night i was at a sleepover and there was this girl there that i didnt know. she asked me what church i go to and when i told her, she said "oh. well, catholics arent the strongest christians." there was this big silence and no one said anything for a long time, and i didnt know what to say. i dont blame people for believing what their church and family teaches them, but i dont understand why they have to say mean things that would hurt someone. and i dont know how i should react when people say that kind of thing to me. has anyone been through something like this? and how did you handle it?

Been there. And it's hard. But if you strongly believe in something then that is all you need, pay no mind to what other people say. Yes, they have every right to believe whatever they choose but they have no right to treat you differently or to be rude about it, especially if you haven't done so to them. So just let it go, it's their loss and not yours. You're doing the right thing. (This is coming from someone who is neither Catholic or Baptist, so it's indifferent and honest.)
