Q: I have been talking to a friend of my brothers for a few months now. We have been hanging out for the past couple weeks. The first time we had sex was almost four weeks ago. I haven't gotten my period since, and I have been feeling a little nauseous. I told him over the weekend that I might be pregnant and he told me he's not ready for a baby and it's bad timing because we are not really dating, but he would be there for me if it's definitely his kid. My brother found out about us hanging out and he told me to be careful because he said he's really shady and he doesn't want him to hurt me. I don't know whether to believe my brother or not because he really seems like a great guy. I don't know what to do. If I am pregnant, I'm horrified that he's going to leave and my family is going to disown me. And I don't know whether or not to take my brothers warnings seriously. I just need a little advice. What should I do about both of these things?

I agree with everyone on here by making sure if you are or arnt pregnant first thing. If you are pregnant dont worry im sure your family wont disown you, but do not just throw your brothers advice to the side because no matter what usually your siblings have your back no matter what. But, what everyone isnt telling you about being pregnant and not being together with the father, being so young the father probably will not stick around, but DONT WORRY you can do it by yourself. Go to family court regardless if the father stays or not because you want to establish visiting rights and support. You can go to your local social services and get help from them. I am a single mother and my daughters father has nothing to do with her what so ever that is why family court helps. But, just because you take thewm to court it doesnt guarentee the father will do visitations or pay support its a very sticky situation. Dont hide anything from your parents or your siblings family is the only thing you can count on. Let me know if iv helped and if you need anything else on this topic i am very knowledgable on single parenthood. Single meaning you are not married.

Q: I am very much confuse me and are intermediate 4-5 times but now he leaved me what should I have to do if I got married with someone else one frst night he will easily know that I 'm already used and no will accept me plz help me I have no chance rather than suicide.

I dont quit understand your question, or what you wrote. But, id love to help msg me and we can talk more. Thanks

Q: I'm a 19 year old girl. I have Bipolar 1, depression, severe anxiety, severe panic attacks, and insomnia. I also have some learning disabilities and agoraphobia (fear of people). Not only is all of this very difficult to deal with as it is, but I can't get a job or complete my GED because of it. I'm absolutely terrified to do most anything; make phone calls, go to the store, go out with friends, even just sitting at home alone triggers panic attacks. I've tried to get jobs but I've failed in all attempts. The farthest I've gotten, was past the interview which was very very difficult and started my first day but I had a severe panic attack and a mental breakdown, to which they sent me home, and I wasn't able to continue working there. It was humiliating and worsened my depression and confidence. I have no idea what to do. I'm so stressed out and I just want to be able to move on in my life like a normal person. I can't afford therapy, and I'm already on 1mg Xanax 3 times a day, 100mg of topomax a day, and 600mg of lithium a day. I feel like a failure because I can't accomplish these things and function normally. Does anyone suffer like this? What are your methods to overcome this? Is there anything that can help me? I'm extremely desperate. Please help. I need someone who understands.

I suffer from Bi polar, Border line personality disorder, severe depression, and severe anxiety. I know exactly what you are going through iv been to the psych center twice because of mental break downs. I had the most horrible time trying to get help for my disorders, and alot of the time these get in the way of me finding a job. The bsu would help alot with finding therapy that you can afford with medicade or another form of payment. If youd like to discuss this further feel free to email me.

Q: I am looking for anything about guns and roses! I am totally obsessed since I just found out about them from a friend at school. Is there a fan club that isn't on facebook or twitter? Something none of my friends will know about? I am in love. :)

I honestly am not a very big Guns N Roses fan so i dont really know... im sorry

Q: im on a really strict diet and today i feel like i wasnt so strict.

breakfast: beet, apple, carrot juice (i made it in a juicer)
and ice coffee with fat free half and half
lunch: diet brocc suffle- made with frozen brocc, eggwhites, onion soup mix (barely any calories...)
another ice coffee.
dinner: 110 calorie bagel thin with 70 cal of tuna with a DROP of light mayo and lettuce and tamatos .
then my head started pounding and tylenol didnt help so i REGRETTFULLYYY had chickne soup.
in it was carrots and sum chicken and obviously the broth.

i feel like i should not of had the soup though. im on a really strict diet and i feel like that wasnt deit friendly and i lost control.

am i wrong? was it ok? was it not?

I said sorry for one and for two i USED to weight 189 and now i am down to 165 and i dont diet like that i just excercise.

Q: Well im 13 years old and im pretty overweight. Im starting 8th grade the end of august and i wanna show everyone that i can lose weight. How can i lose weight before school starts? Thanks (:

I know everyone has told you that they have or had weight problems, but honestly i can show you pictures i used to weight 200 i know thats not extremely over weight but i still got picked on my whole life untill i graduated. One summer i decided not to long ago actually i wanted t lose weight what i did is i still ate anything i wanted but i only ate the serving sizes that is very hard but you can do it. Eat the serving sizes and do 40 crunches a day sooner or later youll be able to do more than 40. If you want go walking every other day. Trust me it works now i run every other day and i weight 162.

Q: Im 13 years old and my boobs are big. I dont if its because im over weight but i rather lose my boob size than anything else. What can i do to make them small?! (no surgery)

Hun them answers wont really do anything.. you may not be over weight but bigger girls have a bigger bust. If you lose weight the very firstthing that will go is your breast size trust and believe i used to be a bigger girl with a bigger chest lol i kinda miss it but when i lost weight my chest size went down. Chest excercises will only help your chest muscles to make it stronger. I hope iv helped let me know how it turns out if you have any other questions let me know.

Q: akward and i dont want to ask for a doctor.. but im 16 and iv had skin cancer, i have regular doctor visits for severe head pain can that link to cancer at all? cancer but no headaches runs very greatly in my family iv had all my cervical cancer shots but the last three or so months iv had maybe a nearly 2 inch long yet inch thin maybe growth down in my vagina. gross sorry. but i dont wana go to a gyno, can it be cancer or what else? how can i tell? plus that whole area hurts, but i finally got my period from over two months late. iv waited long and it hasnt grown too much. help

Well it could be something it could be nothing, It could be cancer or an STD or it could just be nothing but like a pore thats clogged. But either way i would suggest going to see a docter if cancer does run in your family and youv had battles with other types of cancer. I hope iv helped let me know how things turn out.

Q: What do i do if this jr likes me and im a freshmen my moms fine with it but my like going crazy.....?

If your mother is fine with it and only if YOUR fine with it i would give it a shot but go slow on things dont jump head first into something that your still not sure about. Also dont do anything that your not ready for and dont do something just because someone else thinks you should you have to be comfertable with the relationship first. Hope iv helped at least a little let me know how things worked out.

Q: So, my boyfriend and I haven't been dating for very long and we decided to NOT have sex for a longgg time down the road. Which I think is great! But we're young and live with our parents and stuff. I mean we do things like dry humping and touchy feely and things like that but I get soo paranoid that someone's going to walk in or say something. My opinion is we're not having sex, we are being responsible but we DO have hormones! What do you think? Do you really think our parents would freak out? Do you think what we're doing is okay?

My advice to you is going to be much different then others, i am 20 years old so am one of the younger advisors. To answer your questions, yes what you and your boyfriend are doing is AWSOME your decision is very mature and great, alot of young people these days including myself jump into bed and have kids at a young age. But you have chosen to play safe which is the good way to go. Now on the parent fact i honestly i dont think that your parents will have a big issue with it depending on your age they probably expect you to make out, parents arnt stupid and definatley not blinde. What i would do is noone has to know your personal business, just respect your parents while doing so. As the walking in fact they may r they may not chances are they probably wont. But if they do sit down with them and explain that you are not plaining on having sex until you are older. They will be proud of you ad themselves. Or plain B would be you and your boyfriend sit down with both sets of parents and explain to them you care for eachother very much and you dont plain on having sex. I would go for plain A personally. Hope iv helped let me know how things turn out.

Q: I'm so afraid of my ex girlfriend seven years after she dumped me and then destroyed my confidence by accusing me of stalking her just for trying to make peace that every time I see her I want to run and hide.
My current girlfriend switches between being so nice to me and being incredibly angry and hurtful everytime I do anything wrong.
I can't get a job, and my writing isn't selling.
And I just want to smash my head against a wall but don't because I don't have it in me to do so.
I have this sneaking suspicion that when I die, all I'll have to show for my life is nothing.
Male, 27. Someone, I'm not asking for miracles, just an actual solution to my life that doesn't involve disconnecting from reality and curling in a ball for the rest of my days.

I am a very young but bright person, i am probably one of the youngest on here so i dont take it personal if you dont take my advice. But honestly iv been where you are. Except i have ruined my own life before. I was 13 hours from home with noone to turn to. My now ex boyfriend wanted nothing to do with me even though i tried so hard to make ammends. What you should do hun is not worry about girls or relationships right now work on getting your confidence up. Do things for yourself not for anyone else life gets tough sometimes but its a test. Im not trying to gedt religious but things can only get so bad until they cant go anywhere but up. Miracles do happen but they only happen when we make our own miracles. You seem like a very nice man, just start doing things for yourself dont worry about what others think about you. I hope iv helped a little, let me know.

Q: hi i was wondering about my question i just went on kind of a date with my boyfriend and my family and the way his actions were tell me some thing but i dont know what they mean during the hole movie je kept on looking at me and sitting close to me and then passed the pop corn over to my dad and his face would come close to mine and he would look at me when he did that and then sat back down what do u think he was thinking when he looked at me and do u think he wantd to kiss me and hold my hand? pleaase let me know

Sorry i couldnt get back to you sooner iv had a couple things going on.. But i think he probably fealt a little funny with your family there and yes i do think he wanted to hold your hand and kiss you. Guys are shy just like us and they feel more comfy with just themselves and you there. Or another reason he might have not done it maybe hes not shy but just doesnt want to kiss you because maybe he thinks you dont want to move that fast. If you want to kiss him let him know. If you need good tips with that send me another message. Hope iv helped let me know how it turns out.

Q: okay, i dont even know where to start.
everything has been so...idfk!
its hard to describe.
you know that saying, "on the outside im fine, but on the inside im screaming" thats how i feel lately.
but its such a mixed and weird emotion im having.
like sometimes everything good, like im having a good day, but other times i get so mad at myself and everyone around me-for reasons though.

**this one really weird thing i cant stop doing is-
i have this theory thing that i like...cant stop doing. its like this, if sunday is a bad day, then the whole week til sunday again will be bad. or if the morning of my day sucks, then the rest of the day has to. its so freakin annoying but its got me convinced.

im just so upset with myself, and i did nothihng.

ughhh

Im that same way its called ocd.. with a bi polar disorder. At least thats what my counseler said, all you can do is try to make it better im the same way.. and with diets if i mess up on monday i cant start again untel monday. I know that this isnt much help but all you can do is try.

Q: Long story short: I fall for a guy. The guy ends up using me for physical stuff. I pretend I've completely gotten over guy. I'm a lier.
Guy once told me the hottest woman alive is this actor who once was one that 70's show. All I know about her is that she has red hair, and she's not DONNA. Does anyone have a clue? Or is there a complete list of all the guest stars they've had on the show somewhere? Cause I actually would waste whole weekend checking out all their pictures to see what he considered beuatiful. Although, technically, "I'm over him and don't care". Yeah.... right.

No offence but why would you care? beauty is on the inside not on the out and if he cant see that hes not worth your time. I know what you mean when you say your over someone but your lying to yourself. Its hard!

Q: I want to give my boyfriend a hickey, so how do I do it? Thank You in advance.

Well this is a odd question but common really.... How to give a hickey you just suck on the persons skin and there ya go. Hope iv helped..

Q: Hello. My boyfriend and I had sex last night and this morning I woke up and noticed some blood. So I put a pad on and I think it could be my period. Although we had sex that doesn't have anything to do wit my period coming on unexpectantly does it? THank you in advance!

You sure it was your period? or could it just be that your boyfriend finally popped your cherry ya know people bleed when that happends and if your not a virgin it doesnt matter because it doesnt have to be your first time. I know this answer was a little confusing but i didnt know how any other way to word it. Hope iv helped write me back and tell me how it turned out.

Q: are there any ways to make the bruise go away faster? if not, is it possible to cover it up with a concealer or anything?

No a bruise will go away on there own and yes you can use cover up and stuff to cover it up but most of the time it doesnt work very well. Hope iv helped anything else you need just messege me.

Q: I'm just worried he might get hurt that's all
