Q: do all kisses feel the same (physically)?

its just when i got my first kiss it felt sooo wierd... and gross too. like his lips (i am a girl btw) felt huge even though they werent, and kind of wet and VERY squishy. it was just gross. idk. are all kisses squishy? oh ya it was just like 5 or 6 pecks in a row, and sometimes our lips will stay touching two three seconds.

and please dont tell me that its really what you feel for the guy that makes a kiss good (i didnt feel anything for him, although he really liked me)i am really talking about the physical traits of a kiss, not emotional ones.


ps. he had fresh breath and everything.
Well I don't know.
my first kiss if I remember just felt awkward.
It may just feel weird becuase it was the first.

But the more you kiss,the more you find your style/ the style you like others to have.
Some guys are naturaly terrible kissers (some girls the same way).

I mean since you were jsut pecking, you probably felt his lips a lot more, it's different when you 'french kiss' I mean, I like that you don't have to feel lips are all, it's more tonuge.

Q: I dont know why but everytime someone touches me i moan. And not even quiet, really really loud. I get embarressed and its when they even like touch my butt. What can i do?
Well there's a time and a place.
I mean if you and your boyfriend are fooling around and you moan, he might really like it.
I know I moan in that position. And my Boyfriend actualy really really likes it.

But I can suggest you just bite your tonuge (as mentioned)
Or since you know in advance it will happen, I suggest foucsing on not moaning, once you're aware it may be easier to stop.

Q: You know those white masks that surgeons, doctors, etc wears? Is there a local place in my area that I can buy? Are they cheap?
At a hardware store they should sell them.
(for people who have to work with toxins)
Like
Homehardware
Home Deopt
etc

They probably aren't that expensive.
If you get a low grade one.

Q: I'm a freshman in highschool, and the kid I currently have a crush on is a sophomore. I have seen him multiple times in school, and we stare into eachothers eyes when we pass eachother in the hallway. Also I was chilling at starbucks with some friends and I saw him chilling with his friends (which were nistly girls, so i couldn't really approach him), every time he passed me we'd look at eachother, but he never seems to smile. I've never had a boyfriend/first kiss before, but only because I turned all the guys down, but this kid is actually in my league. All I want is to become friends with him, but I have no idea how. We don't have any classes together, but I do know his name from my yearbook. I was thinking about writing a little note that says something like"
hey, you're kinda cute.
IM me at blahblahblah
If anyone has any ideas, please respond. Oh and can you girls ask your guy friends and your boyfriends and tell me what they say?
I'd REALLY appreciate it! k thanks!
xo
Hmm.
I know the difficulty in that, with no classes theres no time to just talk normaly.

But I can suggest that you just kind of look for him in the halls, get his schedule down kind of,and then just happen to be walking beside him and going in the same direction.
That should start up a conversation, or you could just start one with a very common
"so what class do you have next" kinda thing.
Just try to be there, and don't be afraid to talk to him, I mean if he always makes eye contact and such it means he is interested (if only to be friends) but still interested.

p.s- I didn't have my first boyfriend/first kiss until grade 9 aswell.
And my boyfriend was a Sophmore when I was a freshman, so it does happen.

Q: My worst fear EVER is throwing up. I can't listen to it or see someone throw up, or throw up myself without crying. And whenever someone feels sick I avoid them. My brother has been in the bathroom throwing up for about a half hour now and I locked myself in my room and started crying my eyes out. I am 13! I thought if you face your fears you can get over them, but when I throw up myself and face it, it doesn't help, just makes me scared I'll throw up again and I refuse to eat for the rest of the day.
Vomit is gross, you've got that correct.
But it isn't something to be afraid of.
It's actualy helpful if you think about it, I mean throwing up is in a way cleansing your system.
There is nothing nice about it, but it isn't harmful.
You don't have to face your fears, but I suggest you look inside yourself and think about WHY it scares you so much.
Is it because it's repulsive?
Because it means you're sick?

Once you find that answer you can begin coming to terms.

I used to be afraid of big rainstorms, and getting abducted almost to the point of hysterics, but I thought about why I was afraid or what caused me to be,and I can tell you I have no fears at the moment.

Q: Does any one else find fingering someone/ getting fingered totally repulsive??
I dont see the pleasure in having someone's finger shoved up your vagina.

I dont know if that is odd, like if getting fingered is like sex...everyone just likes it.

Thanks in advanced!
It just doesn't seem normal, at first i was like
"You're not putting your figners anywhere,thank you."
But I was convinced and when he did it was actualy really quite enjoyable. It's like sex,without getting sperm anywhere near you (a plus if you're conscious about pregnancy.)

I'm not saying go rush out and get fingered, but I'm telling you to be open. (and not everyoen will like it,so if you do get fingered and the whole thing is ho-hum, either the guy doesn't know what he's doing or you just don't get off that way. Don't wory about it.)

Q: i just read the book "Twilight" by stephenie meyer, and i loved it.
but now i cant find ANY good books.
is there any book like Twilight that you would recommend?

ive read the sequel, too.

Well there are always the classic vampire novels.

Any thing by Anne Rice, although the literature is quite advanced, they're amazing books.
the titles in order are
Interview with the vampire
The vampire Lestat
& Queen of the damned.

They're just amazing.

Sweet Blood is also a really good book.

Q: Age:14
Sex: Female

Hiya,
Lately i've been asked out by like 3 guys. But i can't say yes because i still like my ex boyfriend. I'm tring really hard to forget him and i'm trying to say yes to the guys but they....they don't seem like a nice guy. Well i'll get to the point. Even though i'm being asked out and many people are being nice. I feel depressed. Well, i have some reasons and all, but it never bothered me until now. i went to my counsler but she just made it worse. My faimly has been getting on my nerves also and i've been really stressed. Less sleep and everything. I just let my self go. My grades were an A to a d. and only in one week. i've been a real mess. anyways to help me?
Firstly.
When you're fourteen years old, boys although they're a fun pass time, should no be the focus point of anything.
These teenage love lives are not important, I doubt you'll be marrying this ex-boyfriend whom you still have feelings for.
So just do yourself a favour, forget boys for awhile. And don't go out with these boys who are asking you out just because you want to get over the ex, if you feel they aren't nice, trust your instincts.
Just mellow, hang out with friends and such. And try not to think about your ex, you'll know when you're ready for another relationship.

Why don't you try hard at school to keep your mind off of what's going on around you.

Q: last year i went out with a guy and he forgot we were going out haha yeah my friends made fun of me for it but i get so fustrated because i still want to be friends with him but he never talks around me, hes always shy or quiet around me and in class ill catch him looking at me does this mean he still likes me?
Well firstly.
I can never see why girls want to be friends with Ex boyfriends.
Personnaly even if I'm the one dumped or the dumper.
I will never ever talk to the boy again.
I suggest you do the same.
He FORGOT you were going out, if that doesn't spell an insincre no good guy, I don't know what does.
Why would you want to still be friends with that? He doesn't make the effort to be yours, after a while you should get the hint that he proably isn't insterested in a friendship.
Forget he exists for awhile, and see if he makes conversation with YOU.

Q: My parents have recently told me that they might get divorced. I actually found this as a shock because they used to fight a lot, but the fighting seemed to have stopped. I've been really upset because if they do decide to divorce, than not only will my parents lives be different, so will mine and my 3 younger brothers who have no clue what's going on. Anyway, what kind of stuff happens in a divorce and what should I expect? How can I deal with this?
I'm the psot-child for divorce.
My parents have been in splitsville for about eight years.
They broke up when I was eight.
I've practicaly lived my life in it.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, it can really be a pain.
But the one important thing is to never make decisions based on being worried if you'll look like you like one parents better. They should know you don't.
Things aren't much different, besides maybe the moving around a bit more.
You get two houses,two rooms, two christmas & birthdays.
But you also have to put up with parents maybe thrashing eachother, don't take it to heart, realize that they're just stressed, and try to cope.
It will feel weird for a bit, but if your parents split on good terms it won't be too bad.
Don't worry. It won't be the end of the world. I promise.

Q: Ok,over the weekend I made out with this kid Josh.His mom was away so it was only me and him in his house.We were in his bedroom cuddeling and stuff, when I felt like a buldge and he this OMFG and pushed down and started blushing and it was oviose it was a boner, It was akward and im like its ok Josh your a guy its ganna happen. But he was so nervous and stuff.. im not the prettest girl and a lot of guys call me fat and stuff no one knows we do anything but the furthest we've ever gone is kissing.Were nont going out but do you think I should start doing more with him??Its ovious he's ready but im not sure I am but anytime I tried getting close to him he inched away. I tried {while kissing him} to go down and 'play" i guess and he was like ah! like he was scared. So yeah I asked him.I asked if he wanted more then kissing and he said yes.So again im like so why dont you let me do anything. He was like that was my first boner with a girl actually here I didnt know what to do.So I respected that cause im a virgin but I like Josh and I wouldnt lose my virginity like masterbating him.His mom going away again friday night and I was thinking I would go over.But what would I wear??What would I say??And im the kinda person who gets really hurt easily and I dont want Josh being like Oh no dont do that or something... And Josh is a virgin his like the pillberry dough boy and has only had a couple girlfriends.So i think Im ganna be the first girl touching him what should I say to him while im doing it or should I even try to do it, im confused because while kissing I wasnt getting turned on by it.I like being close with him but not i donno how to explain it I like it but not enough to jump on top of him and have my way with HIM im 13\f and a virgin I havent jacked a guy off before so I dont know how or what to do!
Well. It's obvious that Josh here is probably telling you that he wants to do more than kissing so that you don't think he's inexperainced.
The facts speak for themselves if he doesn't allow you to touch him, he is not ready.
I wouldn't try anything more. Give it time. You don't have to jack him off the day after you started kissing. Let him touch you first, and then you'll know he wants to do more.

But I can give you three points that really helped me out with hand jobs

1- Work the head
2- Keep it moist (To do that, I usualy alternate from my mouth to my hand. So that the spit from my mouth can be used like a lubricant.)
(oh,and if you're using your mouth, DON'T bite,roll your lips over you teeth if you have trouble with that.)
3- go fast
Make sure you have somewhere to shoot the sperm ,when you do (into a cup, a napkin.) Or just swallow.
That does taste quite awful though.

Q: I’m 14 and I’m really pissed because I have next to no decent clothes. I’m not exactly wealthy, but my family’s *far* from being poor. Okay, I have about 8 blouses that I’ve collected through the years, two skirts and two pairs of jeans that fit, and that’s it. My mom grew up in a really poor part of Asia and immigrated here about 15 years ago, but even still, she has no idea what teenage girls are like. I asked her to let me get a nice pair of shorts from American Eagle (which was $40) and she got really mad and gave me this lecture about how I should be thankful that I have any clothes at all because when she grew up, she only had, like, two pairs of cotton pants throughout most of her childhood, and how she breaks her back trying to support our family and I’m just being a greedy spoiled brat. She refuses to buy me any article of clothing over $30. What makes me even more mad is that she still buys $50 worth of earrings for herself (she gets loads of really cheap jewelry on those TV jewelry channels) when she doesn’t NEED any new jewelry, yet she won’t let me buy a $40 pair of shorts.

The worst part about all this is the other kids at school. I go to one of those expensive private schools and all of the other girls at my school who have entire wardrobes filled with those fancy designer clothes from stores like Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, etc. I feel really ashamed next to everyone else because I don’t have many nice clothes at all. While all of these girls make monthly shopping sprees, I’m allowed two shopping trips a year. But even during these shopping trips, I can hardly find anything under $30 because nothing ever fits. Seriously, I’m way too skinny….my waistline is like, 22 inches and my hips are 27 inches. No, I’m not anorexic, it’s just the way I am. I don’t need any eating advice or anything, because there’s no way I’m going to diet and put on weight just to wear clothes. My pants size is 00 and my shirt size is XXS, and the only stores that carry anything flattering for really skinny people in those sizes are the expensive places, like Abercrombie. I would’ve ordered things online, but my mom doesn’t believe in shopping online-----she’s afraid someone will steal her credit card number.

I know this question might make me seem whiny and ungrateful and vain and spoiled because there are people dying in Darfur and I’m concerned about a pair of shorts, but still, it really makes me feel bad that I’m the only person in
What should I do about this? I tried talking to my dad, but he won’t make her understand. She’s got a one-track mind.










Clothes are really quite important to teenage girls, I know. But in sll honesty it won't matter too much in the long run, however knowing that this is something bothering you I suggest one of two things.

Firstly, get a job. It doesn't have to be a Part-time job, babysit, do odd jobs. My sister was fourteen when she got her first part-time job, so jsut put your resume in,even if you don't have any work experiance.

Or secondly. Shop at Thrift Stores.
People actualy envy my outfits, and are surprised when I tell them that abotu 3/4 of all the clothes I own are from Goodwill or Value Village.
The point of thirft store shopping is to ONLY get clothes that you really like, and I'd go for orignality over brand-name.

Q: Are strapless dresses made for girls with only big breats to fit at the top? I'm flat but I want to wear one but I'm scared anything bad or embarrassing might happen..
I'm pretty flat myself.
and I've worn strapless dresses many tiems before.

Just make usre to try the dress on before and,perhaps get a dress that is a little bit tighter than normal (but not uncomfortably so) so that the dress is tighter around the top area.

And if you're really nervous about a malfunction I'd just stick with straps. I mean, it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side, and if you spend the whole ngiht worrying about your top you'll really not have much fun.

Q: Why is it that i'm not allowed to change my belly button ring for 6 months after i got it done? Would somthing bad happen if i did (it's about a month later)? If i did it really carefully and made sure it was really clean.
Well I have a facial piering, but it's the same reason.

You leave the piercing in, in order for it to heal, the constant changing of piercings may cause an infection if it isn't properly sanatized.
Keeping in the orignal for a while insures that the piercing is properly put in and sanatized.

You may not want to wait six months,but if you feel the piercing is helaed and not still fresh and you disinfect the new ring, it should be alright.
