whenever i go to the bathroom it hurt my lower stomach and is really uncomfortable for awhile after that. and i know this is gross, but my pee is cloudy and has a weird smell to it. if i drink alot of water it helps. I have had sex before but i know that the person i had sex with doesn't have an STD. What could be wrong? (link)
Hi, I dont thing you need to worry, it sounds like a simple urine/bladder infection. This is very common, you are right though, the more water you drink the better. The best thing i can suggest is that you go to your doctor to have it confirmed, just incase it is anything else.

hope i helped you, take care :)


okay, so this saturday, i lost my virginity.. and this morning when i went to the bathroom, i bled a little. im not suppose to be gettin my period til around the 6th. someone tell me why im bleeding? =[
THANK YOU (link)
Hi, don't worry about it, it happens to everyone their first time. Some people dont notice it, some do. Don't worry, it own't happen next time :)

hope i helped, take care :)


i have a cold.
ive had it for aboutt i dunno two days now. and i feel like crap! anii ideas on how to feel betr??other than eatin chicken noodle soup? thank you! (link)
Hi, try getting some more vitamin C (orange juice), also VICKS VAPORUB usually helps un block noses. You should also try to keep warm, well i hope this helps take care.


would it feel weird if you & your boyfriend went out.. and did some things.. like lets just say "have sex" (because thats the closest thing i can come up with). and you break up ... would it feel weird if you lost it to him, and then ya'll broke up?

maybe i'm scared he might tell somebody what we did.. that's the thingg... >. (link)
Well if he breaks up with you straight after you did someting, maybe he was just using you. But if something does happens and he tells anyone don't worry about it. You don't need to feel ashmaed or wierd. You were together when you did it, so like I said don't worry, but if you feel strongly about this maybe you should wait until you find someone you can trust until you do something.

well hope this helps. take care


For dinner my parents are making sloppy joes. How can I eat with them without cheating my diet? Would it be ok if I just grabbed a roll and spread a small spoonful on it to just cover the bottom & didn't take any side dishes? I know it would be better without the roll, but I think I would end up eating more bbq/sloppy joe meat if I didn't eat the roll at all. What are your suggestions? Thanks! (link)
Hey, well they say that it is better to eat meat (proteins) than to have the roll (carbs), so why not have the sloppy joes with a spoon, if you think you may still over eat it, try haveing a glass of water about half an hour before eating and then other glass half way through your meal. This should make you a little more full, so you would eat less.

Well hope this helps, good luck with your diet.


I'm not sure what subject this was supposed to go under but here goes. In september i'll be turning 19 and i want to throw a party. i was in hospital for my 18th and couldn't walk for months afterwards so i couldn't celebrate. so i want to throw a big party for my 19th but i don't know what to do. does anyone have any cool themes or ideas?
Thanks in advance! (link)

My best advice would be to do something you would like, infact love to go to. This will make it special, try and get your personality to come out through thte atmoshpere at your party, for example if you have a elegant nature then have a dress code (dresses and suits) and so on.

Hope this helps, good luck and hope you have fun :)

I'm a flirt, and I love being with guys and just being out there and fun. But the problem is..I've never really made out with a guy. Everytime I get the opportunity, I just clench up and kindof freak out. It's kindof like I don't know what to do, and I just don't wanna deal with it. Most people don't believe that I haven't been to THIRD, let alone first. Am I prude for being like this? I don't know what to do, cause everytime I could hook up with someone I feel all shaky and strange. (link)
Don't worry about it, you are not prude, in fact there is nothing wrong with you. You shouldn't worry about what others think. You are still young, let things happen at their own pace. Have you ever thought that maybe you just haven't met the right guy, or someone who is worth you, don't worry things will work out for you.

I hope this helps, just be yourself. Good Luck.

Okay, i've been seeing my boyfriend for a year now and i've found out that i'm pregnant. I know i want to keep the baby, i couldn't go through with an abortion. But in September he's going away to university. I know how much he wants to go and i don't want to spoil it for him or make him feel like he has to stay. Do i tell him now? Or do i wait until he's at university and then tell him? (He's going to be living quite far away when he goes, like four to five hours drive away if that helps)
Please help! (link)
Hey, i think that you need to tell him - in a relationship honesty is always the best policy. Besides, he maybe hurt if you do not tell him and there maybe further complications in your relationship if you tell him after he goes, he may have trouble trusting you afterwards. The best thing you can do is tell him and hope for the best, tell him that you don't want this to affect his education but it's something that he needs to know.

I hope things work out well for you - good luck.


i've been going out with my boyfriend for three months. My parents don't approve of his family though so if i wanted to go to his house i'd lie to my own parents about where i was going and then sneak over to his house. Last time i went there i felt so guilty i felt i was gonna be sick. And lately whenever i talk to him i get really irritated and grumpy. Does anyone know what's going on with me? (link)
I think your right - it might just be your guilt. Speak to your parents, tell them that you want to be with your boyfriend and that they have nothing to worry about. Maybe you should invite your boyfriend over to a dinner with your parents so they can get to know him better.


People it involves:
Me-teesha
my mom-tonja
my dad-daven sr.
my great uncle-Uncle Tony
my dad's brother-uncle tony
my dad's cousin-keith

Problem:
Uncle Tony invited me to stay at his house for the weekend. He said he wants to take me shopping. Of course I want to go. (not just for that reason)
My dad is an alcoholic. Everyone knows it, but they just don't know how he acts when he's drunk. Only my family does. (meaning me and my mom). Well, my mom finally decided to tell some of my dad's family. Well, my uncle tony. He told the rest of the family! That's why my Uncle Tony came down. I think the only reason he wants me to go spend the weekend at his house is to question me about my dad.
Well, now my dad is saying that the only reason my Uncle Tony wants me to go is just so everyone can ask questions about my dad's drinking. I'm starting to think that's true. I want to go, but I'm not sure if I want should. I believe that if my dad didn't have anything to have, he would have no problem with me going. So I think I should go.

Should I stay home or go visit my family with the risk of having them ask me questions about him?

(link)
I think you should go, if anyone asks you any questions that you feel uncomfortable answering or would prefer not to answer just tell them that you do not want to answer and simply tell them if they want to ask you anthing about your father they can ask him themselves.

Who knows they may not want to ask you any questions. Well good luck in whatever you decide to do.


I read somewhere that your period stops when you are in the water? I have a very light period, so will this be true? I HATE using tampons because theyy hurt((hence my other question)) so I am just wondering if this is true or not. (link)
No this is not true, your periods will not stop while you are in water, if you have light periods it is possible that it will be less visible. but they do not stop when you are in water.


hey. well, my hair is a little longer than shoulder length. i want to grow it out as long as miley cyrus, ashlee tisdale, or vanessa hudgens (before she took her extentions out, lol). and my mom said that there are certain foods you can eat to make you hair grow. what kinda food would that be?? i don't want something that tastes nasty, or some weird food. thanks! (link)
Im not sure about foods, but i have been told that hair oils are "hair foods", try putting some oil on your hair, you can use baby oil, the good thing about johnsons baby oil is that it doesn't have a strong smell. But there are other oils you can use like olive oil, coconut oil or even mustard oil - but these do have a strong smell.

i would suggest that you put oil on your hair before going to sleep and then wash it in the morning (you opnly need to apply oil once a week) that way you won't have greay hair when you go out :) Hope this helps.


Sorry this is my third question. Because I am so light when getting my period, I had bought Tampax Pearl Multi-pack because they come with lites. But this is uncovienent because I never use the other ones, however, there is not Tampax Pearl Lites sold sepearatly! When i went online I saw that they did have Tampax Lite Cardboard. Should i sue the carboard ones..or will they be to uncomfortable to insert? (link)
You can try using the cardboard ones - everyone has different views, if not why don't you try using Pads, you can find light ones and they would be easy and pain free :)

ok my best friend moved away and shes coming back to visit tomorrow. ill call her lisa. and im really looking foward to seeing lisa and everything, but recently she and my other best friend (ill call her beth) have started to talk again (they were friends before she moved, but they didnt talk after she moved) and they talk frequently over the computer and stuff and im totally fine with that. no problem at all. but lisa told beth that she was coming, and now i guess beth assumes that we're all hanging out. and im fine with that because i know lisa would like to see her a little bit since she told beth she was coming.

and i dont have a problem with us like going to see a movie or something. but i do have a problem with all of us hanging out more than once or twice for a long period of time. because for as long as i can remember, when i get into a group of three, im always the odd man out and the other two girls kind of leave me out and sometimes gang up on me. and im worried thats going to happen while lisa is here. and shes coming for a week and if something like that happens then ill probably get mad and things will be screwed up.

so my question is how do i tell beth (the friend that lives here) my situation with out hurting her feelings or having her think that she cant see lisa or whatever. because beth has a weird personality and gets mad at the littlest things. so what should i do?

thank you for reading my very long question :D
lynn (link)
Well, why don't you tell Beth that it has been a long while since you have met with Lisa and you just want to have some time on your with her to catch up, why don't you spend a few days with Lisa and Beth can have some time with her.

Just be gentle, if anything tell Lisa not Beth. I hope tings turn out well for you - good luck.


ok so i have this big group of friends and this guy max i know is dating amanda. im friends with both of them but ever since they've been dating i've been hooking up with max behind all our friends backs. Just recently some of our friends have been getting a little suspicious and only 2 of them know. i know its bad enough wat we've already done but me & max have been moving pretty fast and i feel like i'm ready to have sex with him. I really wanna do it and so does he but he won't break up with amanda. what should we do? what should i do?

k thanks (link)
well don't you think its a little suspicious that he won't break up tih amanda, if he wants to have sex with you and feels strongly about you, should he not break up with amanda, unless he is only using you, i know this is a grim view of things but it seems like he wants to have his foot on two boats, he needs to choose, it is either you or amanda.


So me and my boyfriend had sex about last monday. It was protected at first but the condom broke and he took it off and then we had unprotected sex. He pulled out and we stopped having sex. He swears to god he didn't cum inside me. He said he's the kinda guy where he cum's all at once and he didn't do that inside of me. So we just begin to touch eachother and ne then cum's all at once.

It's been a week or so and I should've started my period by now. I have been getting signs that I normaly get before I start my period but, I have been so stressed and worried lately because my periods a couple days late.
I am getting brown discharge and sometimes it's clearish light brown. I have no symptoms of being pregnant.I've gone to a lot of sites and looked at the symptoms and I have none of them but I'm still stressed and freaking out about it. (link)
wait for a while longer, if your period is more than a week late, see if you have any symptons, either way the best thing you can do is see your doctor or take a pregnancy test.


Well I'm four months pregnant, and me and my babys daddy arent together, he doesn't believe this baby is his he tells me to screw myself and to find the real baby father. The thing is hes the only one who I've slept with unpertected in the last 6 months. So I know its his. But I got back with my ex boyfriend who I was with before four almost a year before we got into some stuff. We got back together before I found out I was pregnant. I told him I was pregnant he told me he'd step up and help me raise it as his own. Hes in Long Creek (Jail) until January 3rd and I'm due January 27. Well anyways my question is, do you think I should let him step up and raise this baby as his own. Please let me know what you think. (link)
It is very noble of him to step up and raise the child as his own, but your baby has a right to know who the father really is. If the father doesn't believe you, try taking a paternity test to prove that way he will be satisfied that it is his. Every child needs to know who their father is.


There is this guy from my work place that I really like. I heard he has a drinking problem but so far it had just been a rumour. Well today I ran into him at the bottle depot. I was there first and then he showed up. He said hi but then got really quiet. All I had were water and diet cola bottles, but then I glanced at his and saw tons of boxes of beer cans. I could sense he was embarrassed because normally he's very talkative, so I just collected my money and left. Now I don't know how to act around him. Should I just pretend like I never saw anything? (link)
Just act normally, you never know there might be a perfectly reasonable explanation, (he might have had a party) but as he is aware of the rumours he felt embarassed. Give him the benefit of the doubt and act like things are just fine.


my boyfriend of a year and month dumped me today. i talked to one of his friends, and when my boyfriend asked if i did, i said no. when he found out, he got so mad. he was crying and he thinks that i hide everything from him and that he can't trust me anymore. the only reason i lied is because my boyfriend is so protective and doesn't like me talking to boys. i think that i should be able to talk to boys though. what should i do? i want my boyfriend back, but he doesn't think i should talk to boys. i don't know what to do or say to him. (link)
You should be able to talk to anyone you want to, he should trust you, you are being loyal to him and you have done nothing wrong. If he doesn't want you to talk to boys and you listen things will be very hard for you - you would have to talk to people at your school/college and een when you get a job. You can't stop living your life just because he is "protective". explain this to him, but remember everyone relathionship is based on trust.


does fingering hurt?

cuz, my bf wants to be finger me.
but i've always been not exactly
scared, but like hesitant.

so is there any pain whatsoever? (link)
If he does it right, it should not hurt. but there is a chance he could poke you or, put his finger in the wrong place, which would hurt, especially if he has long nails.
