I told my friend how I serious loved this guy and the guy told me that he liekd me but he keeps playing mind games with me. So I told my friend I NEED to get over him somehow and he said "just get rid of everything that reminds you of him and just don't think about him." So I did that and I seriously didn't think about him at all and I got rid of everything that reminded me of him. Then that night, I had a freakin dream about him..just when I was startin to stop thinking about him.It seems like everytime I try to forget about him and I'm doin good I have a dream about him that night. What's going on and how can I stop this???? ILL RATE 5'S!! (link)
Well,dreams just piece together small bits of what you were thinking over the past few days,usually...
Its possible that when you were cleaning out all the stuff that reminded you of him,and trying so hard not to think about him made your subconcious think about him...in either a good or bad way.
So this is pretty normal,just keep up what you're doing,and you should be fine

Hope that helped,

Hey, major question i have. Ok, i went to a softball game and i was sitting on the bleachers...and on the other side of the field i saw 2 people...the one of them looked like a guy from were i was sitting and the other one...was a girl, and i thought they were friends or somthing...so, then i started thinking, wow that guy is pretty cute...so then, i realized i looked at him a bit longer...and realized it was a girl...a very tomboyish girl,so...does that mean i'm like...lesbian or just made a common mistake?
~Brina (link)
Its a common mistake,dear...I've done it quite a few times,actually.
You are not a lesbian...that means you are attracted to other girls when you know they're actually girls.
Don't worry about it

Hey
I was wondering..today i ran the mile in 8:47 minutes today. Do u think that is goos, bad or average? just wonderin because our coach didnt tell us. thanks! xoxo (link)
Thats about average...here at least...
The people that are athletic nuts in out gym class get between 7-8 minutes on average..sometimes even 5 mins...and the slowest time was 20 minutes.

hey...well within the last year i have become christian. but lately i have been having my doubts. i have depression, and have had it for about 2 years now. i pray so much but i dont seem to be making any progress to becoming happier. i dont understand why my prayers arent getting answered. (link)
Hey,I'm a Christian...and I'm always depressed.
I thought like you a few times,before I took time to start really paying attention to things-little things.
I found out God made my life better in little ways...and sometimes some prayers are better left unanswered.Thats not a bad thing,though,because if God granted us everything we wanted and did everything for us...this life wouldn't be too interesting.
It may be that you,like myself,are clinically depressed or have a chemical imbalance.This is fairly normal among teenagers,and it happens to teens of all religions.

if you talk to a boy online and you never saw him and you love eachother and have soo much in common and stuff, is that considered have a boyfriend even though you have never saw him and stuff?? bc i really love this guy and he feels the sam way but he lives real far away. is this like a boyfriend? and if it is say i went out with him and then i have a boyfriend here, would that be cheating on my online boyfriend?
I RATE SOOOO HIGH!!!
please help me quick!!

young, curious and in love (link)
Online romances never work out,sorry to disappoint you.
And,to answer your questions..I suppose he has to ask you out or you ask him out to be boyfriend and girlfriend.And you should atleast see a picture of him.Yes,it is like a boyfriend and I suppose it would be cheating if you had two boyfriends...

Good luck,
~Long Lost

there's a guy I like a lot. I met him online. we are good friends and have a lot in common. I sorta have a crush on him. should I tell him? I'm afraid it will ruin things between us. I don't think he's into online dating and I don't know if he likes me in that way. I don't feel like I'm good enough for him. what should I do? I don't want to screw everything up but I'd luv to be his girlfriend. he's awesome. (link)
...
Let me tell you something,and you may not believe it at first:
Online dating never works out.
I have never heard of a case that it has worked out with...
Anyways,go ahead and tell him,or he will never know.
Or,ask simple questions like if he has a girlfriend,if he says no,then ask if he has anyone in mind or if you can help him out.
Ask him about his hobbies,see if you two have alot of things in common,if you do then you can talk about that and he may build up feelings for you.

ok so my tonsils are huge and my troat is red, i already have big tonsils uut thye are really big it not strep, it stings a little bit when aswollow ive been risning with salt wter every hour but thta doesnt help, any suggestions? (link)
Go to your doctor immediatly.

You may have to get your tonsils taken out.It may also be your adnoids hurting...they're like the tonsils only a bit lower in the throat. ((I have my adnoids removed when I was young))

Okay well yesterday was my first day of a new school. I didnt know anyone but I met this guy and we kind of walked together and sat with each other at the schedule place. He's so cute and really cool, i dont have any classes with him...how do i get to know him? I dont have his number or intantmessanger. (link)
Go ahead and talk to him,compare schedules,talk about classes etc.

After a fairly lengthy conversation you can say something like: "We should talk more often...do you have a screen name?"

Or something along those lines..

Best of luck,

I just got proactive, and i was wondering how long it takes for it to real noticably start working, and if it works as well as the infomercials say. Also, could only people that have actually used this answer to this or know someone who used and you saw a difference (link)
I indeed saw a great difference-within about a wekk.

But you have to continuely use it...kinda like shaving.

Yesterday my boyfriend and i had sex and i bled on him, we thought that it was jusy my period coming because i am late...but it wasnt my period. He said that it could be possible that i contracted a std from my previous relationship or i could be pregnant. Im not sure what to do or what to believe~Im going crazy because i dont have anyone to talk to about this and if i do have a std he'll probably leave me...and i dont think that i would want to live without him; i'll be better off commiting suicide. (link)
Please,do not commit suicide under any circumstances.

I strongly adise you visit your doctor or gynecologist immediatly.I've never heard of STDs making you bleed...but then again I'm a virgin.

I was about to say it could be your hymen breaking aka: your 'cherry popping' but since it sounds like you've had sex before,I highly doubt that was it.

I suggest going here,it has some great info.:
http://www.4woman.gov/faq/stdsgen.htm

A problem very similar to yours,with some very good answers.Also a good site in general.:
http://www.obgyn.net/yw/yw.asp?page=/yw/ATE_archives_sexstds

This leads me to believe this sex could have been a little rougher,and caused trauma to your feminine organs,making them bleed.See a gyn. immediatly!

I'm just wondering, my friends say sometimes I act like a prep. And I dont mind that, cus like we were doing this quiz that like "sterotyped" you and they agreed on the answer. But I was wondering, what makes someone a prep? Is it like there popular or something ? (link)
hm...I HATE stereotypes...but heres what it usually means.I do not mean to offend you in any way and this is not directed at you.

They're usually always happy,peppy.Some of them do drugs and some are sluts.They were stuff like Aeropostle and Limited Too etc...They seem to not like punk or goth people.The girls usually wear skirts,and have their hair a different way every day of the week.The girls wear tight shirts with cute logos of their favorite clothing line or 'witty' sayings on them.They like mianstream music.

okay this is really hard to explain but i'll try...my best friend ryan (shes a girl) moved and she went out with this guy hunter...hunter imed me one day (after him and my friend broke up) and we talked and stuff and he was so sweet and i thought i liked him but i had a boyfriend and i told him i did so ya...my boyfriend was like a really good friend 2 but i didnt think it was fair to date him when i really liked hunter you know so i broke up with him and on aim i was talking to hunter that same day.and i said guess what and he goes what and i was like i broke up with andrew and he goes you kno whats coming next...will you go out with me! i really wanted to say yes but i wanted to ask my friend first to make sure she was like over him and i said hunter asked me out...do you care if i say yes and she ignored me and started cussing hunter out and then so hunter imed me and said...maybe we should wait,i still like you,and im not taking it back i love you,you just broke up with your boyfriend though,so lets wait. and all that was fine with me....well two days later my friend ryan came and stayed at my house for like a week and then 1st night she was there,hunter and me were

hunter texted me and i said im out of texts so i cant talk now and so i said he could text ryans phone...so he did and he was like can you hand tayler the phone for a sec...so she did and i gave it back to her (i was like in the car talking to my uncle and i didnt want to like be texting him) and then she handed it to me again and it said "will you go out with me" and again i handed her the phone and just thought i will talk to him about it later...then he texted ryans phone again and said " i really like you...but i guess you dont like me" so then i felt horrible so i texted him back and said "no no i do like you its just i dont want you to hurt me" and he said "i would never hurt you,i love you too much" so then i said "are you sure this is what you want" and he said "i wouldnt want it anyother way" so i said yes...and he was a good boyfriend for like a week and then we would be like talking online and he would say i gtg baby i will call you tonight...then he wouldnt call and then we would fight and all this stuff...and it happened like 3 times...then he texted me and was like "baby im sorry i've been a bitch and im such a dumass for treating you like this and im lucky that you stuck around this long please forgive me...things will change i will be the boyfriend you deserve which is better that what i have been" and then he was better (we still hadnt met in person.but we did see lots of pictures) then he broke up with me said he wanted to be friends and then we would talk ever day texting...but he wouldnt talk to me on the phone and he would always ask me for pictures then the fourth of july he texted me and said "we dont need to be friends" i was like okay whatever..after this im not giving you anymore chances and he goes i dont care your ugly and

wow....

I read through that whole thing,my eyes are burning,but thats ok.

I say forget him,for a while!He treats you so badly and keeps hooking up and breaking up with you and testing you then going out with other people.
Also the fact that you haven't seen eachother much,if at all,in real life.

Its very true,long distant relationships never last...though 20 mins isn't far...

Hn...wait a while...see what happens.See if he matures any,and if he does,he may come back to you and treat you much better.

does water help your voice? if you want to sing (link)
Sometimes,preferably warm.

Also,if your throat is yucky or sticky,gargle warm salt water.

Ok, I've been going to private school for 9 years, and for the first time I will be going to public. I'm really freaked out. Is public school really as bad as everyone says? I mean do people like actually get beaten up and raped? and how do I protect myself? How do I know who to hang out with? Please help me. (link)
Hm...?

I don't know where you live,but its not that bad here.

Public school is just a little rougher,no uniforms,bad food and cliques.

Try to make some friends,or let them come to you.

Don't have a worry,I've been going to public school all my life and the only way people get 'beat up' is if they mutually enter a fight with somone else.

Ok well ive been dating this guy for almost 2 years. We really love each other and we live with each other. Hes been telling me latley that i dont act like i care about him. I really do and i tried telling him this and he says i dont act it and i dont show him that i care and love him..What do i do to show him that i really do wanna be in a relationship an i do love and care about him..ive tried talkin to him..an it doesnt seem to work..is there certain stuff that needs to be said? what i dont wanna loose him an i wanna be with him..but i need to know he knows i love him

i rate 5's (link)
Have you tried showing more physical attention?A simple holding of hands,hugging randomly or light kisses can make somone feel better.

Maybe one day you should make him his favorite dinner,for no special reason.Or buy him something thats semi-nice,but useful ((ex: a CD of his favorite band,a DVD etc...))

Tell him WHY you love him,and why you two are so great together.

Ok I'm a sophomore and I've never been to a dance before..why? I'm embaressed and scared to dance...I don't know how! I have no butt so what's there to shake..(aha seriously!) When I move my sides, I look retarded...I don't know what to do with my hands, head, etc..very embaressing..I look so stupid..can someone teach me how to dance naturally without looking like I'm trying to hump something..ahh..thanks! (link)
Hm...heres a trick:

Stand with your legs right below your shoulders then just swivel your hips in small figure eights over and and over.You can rock your rest of the body to your music and keep your hands down our hold them at waist height.

You could also ask your friends to teach you to dance.And also practive in your room infront of a mirror,see what looks good and what dosn't...and try dancing to different types of music using different ways.

well i have a problem... every one at school makes fun of me cuz i have like absoulutely no!!! boobs. i cant do anything about it but everyone makes fun of me like its my fault. i have no clue what to do. and the main reason why i have no boobs is because i havent had my period and its not like i can control that either! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! (link)
Well,first let me say people shouldn't judge you on your bra size.

But,I have heard if you flex and work out your chest muscles and massage your breasts that it MAY help them grow.

I am not sure if this is true or not.

But please,don't be in any rush to grow up,your special just the way you are.I know I do not know you,but just trust me,you are.

Just let it come naturally.
