About desertgirl26



My name is Sahara Boyce. I was searching for advice and I came across this advice page. I know it may seem weird, but I want to be a counselor when I get older and I was just thinking that if I opened up an advice column MAYBE it would help me out someday. Who knows? You can ask me whatever you need to and if I dont' know your answer, I'll figure it out. I always do. The picture you see is one of my boyfriend and I. We've been dating for a little over six months and he is the pride of my life. If my advice for you is some-what opinion, I'll let you know, just so you dont' get confused. I'll be here all the time. No worries. Thanks and I hope that I helped!

15/F
Okay, I have a problem.

I have a dance performance on the 17 and 18 of June, I normally get my period on the 15th. I have researched tampons and the pros and cons but the problem is they(tampax.com) say that when you start to wear tampons you should just wear the ones for lighter days. That sucks because my period is normally really heavy and the preformance is from 5:30 to about 12:00 both nights. There is only one bathroom and its normally filled during recital nights. I have my dressing room with about 60 other girls and there is no possible way I could wear pads with my costumes, one I have too many white outfits and two I move around too much on stage. I can't have the pad go flinging out. That would be disgusting.

So the question is, is it okay to try wearing tampons for heavier flo on my first time?
Yes, I have tried tampons before and it always feels uncomfortable because i'm not use to having string stick out of my vagina but I would go with the discomfort for my dance.

Yeah... the first time I used tampons I had a cheerleading competition... my period was heavy- and I didnt' care. I couldn't wear a pad! I say go for it, if this is the only possible way. Good luck at your dance performance... I hope that I helped you... Sahara

i flirt with this girl and she flirts back i lay on the grass with her and hold her hand people think we should go out , i ask her she said duno what do i do 4 her to go out with me

Let her know how you feel and that it's bothering you. Talk to her about it and tell her that you think she should give you a try. Just be yourself, I'm sure your wonderful and if she really likes you and you talk to her about this, then go for it. Ask her again and if she says she doesn't know, ask her why. Thanks- Sahara

hey me and this boy been messing around on and off for 7 months now and in the last 2 n half months we been more close than ever. i sorta had a clue that he had a girl but really didnt kno and i didnt ask hiim cuz i really didnt care but when we had our spring break we messed around(fingered me) then from there on he would come over and we would kiss alot and play around but then last week we had sex then 2 days later i found out that he did have a girl and they been goin 2gether for over a year but heres the thing he calls me every single day he picks me up we go out to eat i go to his house every weekend we are together but he still has a girl what should i do?? i like him very much lost my virgintiy to him he tells me he likes me alot to and all that kind of stuff.

Hey Grrl! I have the PERFECT answer for your situation. Ask him about it. I recently lost my virginity and I know how much it means to you. Just talk to him about it. Tell him he's going to have to choose. I feel that he likes u. But if he delays his choice for over a week. I'm sorry honey, but you've gotta end it! Thanks-Sahara

I love making up my own songs and singing them..the problem is, when i write them down, they look so retarded and then I forget the tune and everything screws up..my question is, how do you write lyrics that match with the tunes? I would love to be a singer one day but that won't happen because I'm asian, but whatever..um what are some tips for writing song lyrics and thinking of tunes? Thanks..I rate

Maybe you should get like a recorder, or something so that you can record the tune, or use a little piano... if you have to, number the keys- if you cant' play it. You know, it might work. I don't know! Good Luck and remember, if you put your mind to you you can do ANYTHING... Sahara

ok.... well i have been going out w/ this boy for about 4 months now and i really love him alott!!!! so i am 14 and goin into high school and yaa. so and latley my boyfriend has wanted to go to 3rd base w/ my (down muh pants) i no he is ready and i trust him but i dont now if im still to young or if i should jus do it or wait mann i am so confused ill rate 5

If you are ready, I dont' think it's too young. That happened to my my eigth grade year, but then again, I didn't know what it meant and I wasn't ready, but I didn't know what to do. So, I'm telling you now, if he wants to- and you aren't ready, then dont' worry about what HE wants- worry about what YOU want. Just tell him that you dont' think your ready for it yet. If he loves you then he'll understand, and if not, you'll know what he really wanted. But, I'm sure he'll understand. If you are ready though, I say GO GO GO! Just know what your limits are before you know what he wants. Hope I helped! -Sahara

okay this weekend I'm meeting my boyfriend's ENTIRE family at his sister's graduation party, and they're the REALLY formal type who like kiss you on the cheek and stuff. well you know how when girls kiss in the cheek? do you move your head to the left or the right? cause every time i do that i always kiss the wrong side and we always bump and its so embarrassing haha...

what other ways can i make a good impression?

I believe that you move your head to the left. They kiss your right cheek. You could also make sure you chew with your mouth closed, and wipe your face. Dont' go over board by extending your pinky or anything.. that's TOO MUCH! - Hope I Helped---Sahara

i just started my period... im a little late .
what should i use tampons or pads?

. . . You should probably use pads, if it's your very first time. I wouldn't recommend tampons. Don't use them until like your third time.. thanks sahara

what is the best way for love to happen? i've heard that love for sight is just lust. i think love is build on friendship, is this true?

This is somewhat true. Love is a deeper friendship. You have to trust and be there for your love as do friendships. Everything that comes with the duty of being in a frienship also comes with being in a relationship! You have to be able to tell them everything. But, love is deeper and more felt. Hope I helped.... sahara

I have these really weird & un-attractive black dots on my nose... I think there black-heads & they are VERY small, but there are so many of them...

how can I get rid of them?

thank you so much!

Maybe you could get pore cleansing strips or even if you put a hot rag over your face, it opens your pores, then use a very mild face soap to cleanse and clean your pores. If this still doesn't work, maybe you should go to a dermatologist. Well, hope I helped- Sahara

16/f Okay, ive known this guy for like ever..he wants me to give him head..i I reallly wanna, but im kinda scared. Like i dk if I should or know. Hes never had it before..so can i still get anything?..plz help!! I rate ALL awnsers 5s!! ;) thx so much!

If you want to do it, go ahead. But, you dont' want to, dont' let him or anybody else force you into it. If he still has did other things, then you could get something. But, if he doesn't have anything, then your safe. But, if you want to give him head and you're worried about it, then he can wear a condom while you are doing the dirty deed. Just make sure that you WANT to do it, too. Thanks and I hope that I helped- Sahara

I am going for my first interview ever, tomorrow. What should I wear? The weather is suppossed to be high 80s,so i need something I wont sweat in. I want to make a good impression. Any Ideas?

I have never had a job interview, but I think that you should wear a nice, not too short, skirt and a matching kind of professional looking shirt. Wear your hair down. thanks-sahara

Im just wondering, this is a quick question. I slept over my new friends house. Shes extremely pretty, rich, but shes diabetic and she smells like fish. Badly. I know she sprays perfume down there, she's told me. But she cannot find a way to get rid of the smell. What should I tell her as advice?

You should probably tell her to go get it checked out. Sometimes when you have an infection or something is going on wrong, then you get a sorta fishy smell. Or tell her to wash it out with a mild soap and some water, because vaginas have a natural way of cleaning themselves so douching isn't always necissary. Hope I helped.

I kno u all will think i'm stupid but i don't kno wat masturbate meens and i wanna kno....so pleez tell me ASAP! Thnx :-)

To Masturbate means to pleasure yourself with your hands or whatever you might use. Girls stick it in their vagina and guys play with their penis'. It's perfectly normal. Hope I helped.

I have real sweaty hands...does anyone know anything i can do to prevent, or block this? It is so bad i cant even write without having my pen slip or having my paper become wet. Please Help.

Wow! My friend, Jodi, went through the same EXACT problem. She tried everything, her mother even tried to change her diet once. But, I believe finally she went to a doctor, and they prescribed her some type of hand cream. Now, her hands are normal and they dont' sweat anymore. Get an appointment. Until then... use powders. Hope I helped=--Sahara

Me and my boyfriend had a massive argument and he hit me. he has never done that before and he was really sorry and said he loves me i broke up with him and he wants me back should i go back to him or move on.

16 f

I don't think that you should leave him, honestly. Hitting is no excuse for love. If he hurt you like that, regardless if it's the first time or the twentieth time, he shouldn't have done it. Just get out, and stay out. Find somebody who will treat you SO much better. Thanks, Hope I helped, email me if you need me... sahara_boyce@yahoo.com

Ok I have a few questions..#1 summers coming up and I want to get tan, really tan. Does Mystic Tan work? How long does it last? #2 I just got some dream matte mousse foundation..how do I apply it? Does it need powder or anything? #3 I want to get my eyebrows waxed but I already pluck them..should I let them grow out before i get them waxed? Thanks!

My friend got mystic tan and it looked a little orangish. But, I mean, she wasn't exactly the type of girl that needed it either, so she's good to go. It lasts for about a week... longer or shorter depending on when you swim and how often you are in the water. Some dream matte mousse foundation has different directions of applying it. Just read the back of the labels. Depending on which kind you use, you may or may have to use powder. Yeah, I think that you should let your eyebrows grow out somewhat before you get them waxed. Thanks I hope that i helped-Sahara

My bf and I are 8 weeks into our relationship, things are good I guess except... I kinda feel like something's wrong.. Even though it shouldn't be :( I guess the best way to put this is, ever since we started going out nothings changed! We're still like friends...just who now make out and spend weekends together. And it's abit uncomfortable for me.. for some reason... don't get me wrong I like my guy alot but it feels strange because I still see him as one of my friends I guess... like the first time he started kissing me I pulled away because it felt weird and he mistook it that I wasn't comfortable with kissing lol... he told me he'd lay off until I was more ready! He doesn't know how I feel, I guess I'm afraid to say it.. it sounds like the start of a breakup afterall! And well.. I'm not exactly feeling a spark for him either, I find his personality cute, even adorable! but he isn't exactly attractive looking to me, I know that's mean to say.. but I just don't feel any spark there.. this kinda bothers me I guess.. but I still like him! I am messed up? What do you think I should do? I'm going to try and talk to him about it when I see him but what sort of things should I say? I really dont wanna hurt his feelings with what I say, do you think this will end in a break up?? :(
Please help! i'm 16

Okay... First of all let me assure you that this is PERFECTLY normal. Actually, I had the same problem, I liked my best friend and then when we dated, it just wasn't what I thought. My realization was that I just knew that he was like close to me and we could talk about everything together, so I figured that maybe something besides friendship was there, but there wasn't anything. When I went to break it off with him, he understood completely. I just told him that I wasn't feeling him as much as I thought I would and that maybe I just thought something should be there because we were so close but nothing was there. Tell him that you dont' want to ruin your friendship by forcing a relationship out of it. I hope that I helped you... Sahara

I just overdosed. I do it all the time but this time I think I did to much. I keep passing out so I'm making this quick. No one would understands my problems so I can't tell anyone. I feel freezing I have no air conditioner though and I live in FL it's 90 degrees. Something's definatly wrong. What should I do?!

Okay, first of all. Tell a trusted adult. I know that sounds like third gradish, but honestly they can help. Drink a lot of water, and maybe putting a cold compress on ur head and the back of your neck. If your passing out though, maybe you should go to the hospital. OD-ing isn't something to be taken lightly. If you need help with something, just ask me, I'll be here. Thanks and I hoped I helped -Sahara
