Is there such a thing as an abortion pill? And if you know if it, what is there about it that you could tell me?
Thanks (link)
| |
There is one, but I'm not sure how available it is right now because I think it's under further review by the FDA. Your best bet would be to call your GYN and just ask her/him about the pill and see what they say and if they can refer you to a doctor the performs abortions if they can't get it for you, or do the abortion themself. If your doctor does it (instead of a clinic) then be sure to ask if you can pay up front instead of having your insurence company billed (then your parents will find out).

If you are 16 years old and live in New York and get pregnant, what are your options of getting rid of the baby with out your parents knowing? Any help is greatly appreciated. (link)
| |
Go to a planned parenthood and they will help you explore your options. Abortion is most definitely your best bet, and there is no way your parents will have to know unless you tell them. The side effects are not nearly as bad as you may have been lead to believe, and more recent research actually has debunked the myth that there is any relation between abortion and an increased breast cancer risk. Planned parenthood with answer those questions as well.

I am a Canadian female age 21. This question is actually for a close friend of mine and she gave me permission to do this. She is having trouble with sex. The guy is having trouble sticking his penis into the whole and making it fit and my friend can't get her bfs penis into her hole either. It is also very painful to try to put it in even a little because she is very tight even when she is aroused. Any ideas on how they can fit into each other to reach penetration? and also how can she make it hurt less?
Thank you.

If it isn't just an issue with lubrication it could be something medical. There is a medical/psychological condition many woman have where they "close up" when they anticipate penetration, even if they really do want to have sex. This can me diagnosed by a doctor or perhaps a sex therapist. Tell her no to be afraid or embarassed to seek help because she isn't the only one who has to deal with it, and she shouldn't have to.

This is for girls. I want an honest answer; is penis size an important factor in relationships and does it matter? (link)
| |
Size matters about 10% and the other 90% is what you do with it.

I'm a 17 year old male and I've been seeing this girl (20 female) for a while, and she's really cool. She's really easy to talk to and I just generally enjoy being with her. We had a conversation about smoking and drinking (both of which I am vehemently opposed to) and she told me that she never smokes OR drinks, which was a huge part of my attraction to her.
I found out though, through her telling me, that she was at a party and had a few drinks, and smoked a couple of cigarettes... Now I don't know what to say, because I want to tell her how I feel about that (I don't associate myself with people that don't respect themselves enough to avoid things like this) but we're not really going steady or anything like that, so would it be weird for me to express my feelings towards a subject, or is it not my place? (link)
| |
Well, it's up to you. Clearly she smokes and drinks sometimes....and lies. Is that what you are looking for in a woman? If you already told her that you have a problem with it then there is no reason to rehash your opinion, just stop seeing her and if she asks why- tell her straight up.

I'm taking a long flight in a couple weeks and I'm having trouble finding exactly what you are and are not allowed to bring on a plane. Things like knives and scisors are obvious, but they changed some things recently about liquids and gels.
Can I bring on something like deodorant (the stick kind) or toothpaste? Or if I can't bring them on, do they have those things (like little packets of toothpaste or deodorant) on the plane? I've looked on the sites, but didn't find much specifying the different things. Is there anyone here who has recently flown on a plane who would know about this?
Any help would be great! I just don't want to pack something only to have to throw it away when I get to the airport. (I'll be in airports and on planes for almost 24 hours straight) (link)
| |
Go to the website of the specific airline you are taking, depending where you are going to/from the rules may be different, some say nothing at all and others are letting very small amounts (like chapstick). If i were you I would check all that stuff in checked baggage. I don't think they'll have any on the plane either but unfortunantly you'll just have to deal.

I'm so confused about masturbation. Is it right or wrong? I keep getting these urges and I'm scared to masturbate because I'm afraid it's wrong for me to do because I'm afraid my mom might get mad and tell me not to, but I can't control my hormones! I can't even sleep because of my hormones. What should I do? (link)
| |
It's totally fine and normal, and let me let you in on a little secret- everybody does it sometimes. Even adults, boys, girls, everyone! If someone acts like they "would never" and it's "so gross" or "wrong" they are just embarassed of the topic. Trust me, it would be weird if you DIDNT do it sometimes.

Can you get pregnant if he cum`s in you & right after you clean yourself off. Could there be a chance that I can get pregnant after having sex twice. (link)
| |
You can clean yourself out until your skin is raw and bleeding but it won't make the slightest bit of difference in whether or not you'll get pregnant. The damage has been done, I hope you aren't but make sure you always use protection from now on.

Can stores have surveillance cameras in changerooms? Like right in the stalls where you change? Would they be monitored?
Thanks

Totally illegal.

I was just wondering what do you think would be an appropriate age to start dating? (link)
| |
When you don't need your parents to drive to wherever your going. That goes for both men and women. I think kids are gettting too involved with the opposite sex far too early and there is simply no logical reason for a thirteen year old to be going on private one-on-one dates. Hanging out with a group of friends is fine though.

why isn't it healthy to wash your hair everyday?? i do that and i dont see anything wrong with my hair. i'm just womdering (link)
| |
It's fine, there is nothing worng with it at all. If you have particularly dry hair they you may choose not to but there is not reason why you shouldn't.

hey! im looking for some professional advice here well..i have a flaw down there...i have like extra skin on my vag like noticably..my inner labia is larger than my outer...is there any way i can fix this and do guys rly care?????......because it makes me very self conscious in the bedroom and i am afriad of what they might say?/
thank you (link)
| |
They won't care, I doubt they will even notice unless you draw attention to it. It's all about confidence in yourself and in this case, your body. No matter what you look like and what you think is wrong with yourself, if you have an attitude like "I am so sexy and any guy would be lucky to have me" I promise they'll flock to you.

I'm in High school and I should be in collage soon. I have good grades and me parents think I should go to collage but I want to get married and have kids after highschool. I don't see the point in spending all that money if I am not going to work. Should I go anyway to please my parents? (link)
| |
Go to college, you're fantasy life that you have planned for yourself might work out, but you damn well better have a backup plan.

I'm fat/not pretty. Yesterday two of my 'friends' IMed me saying 'Hey Sexy'. I know they were joking around, but for some reason it just really got to me, and I felt like I was a joke to them. (they're both guys) Now I'm very mad at the two of them, and I know they both feel bad, they've sent me messages, called me, etc, but I just don't respond. My question is, am I overreacting? What should I do? (link)
| |
Of course you are overreacting. If you have some problem with yourself then you need to take care of that and not project your issues onto other people.

I am a 28/f and very independant. I work and live on my own in an appartment. I have been single for about 5 years. I have a lot of interests and friends and I'm close to my family which keeps me busy. The problem is that some of my friends who are in relationships have been trying to set me up with guys. It bothers me because they say things like "we need to find you a man". One of my friends just started dating her bf and now is trying to set me up with his roomate. I'm not interested because they said he he's yoan me by about 6 years and is unemployed. Another friend of mine tried setting me up with a 22 year old. It was very awkward because he really liked me and I did not. How can I tell my friends in a nice way that I would like to meet a GROWN mature man on my own without them always trying to set me up? And since when is it a crime to be single? I quite enjoy it because my friends who are in relationships are always complaining about them. (link)
| |
I agree with you. Next time, say "thanks, but I'm not interested. I think I'm doing fine on my own". No more explaination is needed or owed to them. I hate to see woman who think that something is missing from their lives if they don't have a man to validate them. Good for you, be their example!

my mom keeps walking into the computer room and just "looking around". its really bugging me. every time she comes in, i have to close everything except itunes because im looking up anorexic stuff and i dont want her to think im anorexic [im not]. i even had to log off for 10 minutes because she told me to do my laundry so that she would get on and see what i was doing, but i logged off. is there nething i can do? (link)

Be glad that you have a mother who actually cares enough to look out for you. It's great that you aren't doing anything wrong but she is just doing her job by making sure of that. So much stuff goes on through the internet these days and children are constantly being exploited. It's great that she is checking out what you're doing.

What is the earliest time you can get an abortion? If fertilization happened a month or so ago, when's the soonest an abortion would be possible? (link)

Now would be fine, the sooner the better actually.

I have two friends that dont really like each other. The one is my best friend and the one is my second best friend. Lately I have realized I have a tendency to sort of "talk trash" on one friend when I'm with the other one. I dont really mean to do it, and it isnt anything extremely big, but it just comes natural like if something is bugging me about one I come to the other to vent, and then I realize "oh crap" later. And I'm not talking major trash just little things. But even that feels like I'm stabbing the other in the back. I feel like I do this because I am so close with each that I feel like I can talk about anything with each of them, but then I feel terrible after I realize what I've done! How can I stop this nasty habit!? (link)
| |
The best thing you can do is to tell friend #1 that you don't want to talk about friends #2 when you guys are together. Same thing with the other one too. That way, you won't be tempted to join in on the bashing.

well theres this boy i like and my best friend knew him before me but never talked to him or anything. she said he was ugly but after i said he was cute and that i liked him she said it to and she starts flirting with him and kissin him on the cheek when im standing right there.

Have one of us blow him while the other one makes out with him then switch. my {best} friend is all like "ya lets do it sexy" and stuff like that and im soo freakin mad cuz she knew i liked him alot!! i told her about this and she just said that im makin a big deal out of nothing and that hes mine. what do you guys think am i overreacting or should i be mad? i mean would you want your best friend making out and givin bj's to the boy you like? (link)

That is the sluttiest thing I have ever heard. I mean seriously, have fun with you're future because it's going to really be terrible.

My brother (4years old) likes to play with the two girls next door. One is 7 and other is 5. Their parents think their kids are perfect beyond words. As in they never fight or do wrong whatsoever. My family on the other hand. we mess around with eachother like call eachother dorks and brats. typical siblings. Tonight we had a neighborhood gathering and they have a swing in their back yard. One of their girls walked in front of my brother and he ended up barely hitting her. Maybe he tapped her arm. The girls mom walked over picked her up and she acted like he broke her body. She like ill go put you on the couch and get a few ice packs while you heal. She said that and alot of the adults there were like Wow thats extreme for something so little.
The 7 year old was swinging with me and my brother and he started crying because i wouldnt push him and she said you should really be nice to your brother he doesnt deserve to be treated like that. I was like oh ohk. he called me mean and i called him a brat and shes like why are you being so rude to your brother. I was like sorryy.
That was just tonight.
Like they all like riding bikes together but when my brother is going to fast one of the kids or the mom will say lets ride and have model behavior. As in slow down.
Are we going to have to get my brother living up to there standards to even play with these girls? Or should i just let them be? Its kind of annoying when i get corrected by a 7 year old because im 17.
thank you (link)

I would stop hanging around them, I mean there isn't anything really WRONG with that at all, but I totally agree that it's annoying.
