To be blunt, I always get hurt when I have feelings for someone. It never fails; If anything is there for me always, that's rejection. I like guys that seem nice, but aren't that great in the end, or "just want to be friends."
I know it may sound stupid, but when I like a guy, it's not superficial; I actually like who he is and care about him, which could be why it hurts so much sometimes.

Well, my question is, why is God putting me through the same thing over and over again? Why can't He just let me be happy? I'm a Christian, and I definitely love and believe in God.
I know that I'm going to grow from all of this, and I know that having a boyfriend can be hard sometimes, but why do the same situations keep repeating themselves? Thanks in advance. (link)
I think we have similar religious beliefs and I trust God for everything as well. Whenever I get hurt I always know everything happens for a reason - you said you know you will grow from it, which is good, I think like that also. Keep in mind that maybe if it wasn't meant to be, God is keeping you from something that may not have done much for you. Don't give up =]


13/f im overweight not alot but i just hate it. mainly for my stomach its just gross. i wana get skinny but not anorexic its sick! ive been doin crucnches but i found out they make your stomach stronger but it puts muscle under ur fat!?! im fine with muscle but i was doin it so much my stomach is strong but i wana get it skinnier and normal then i work on muscles.i wana get skinney. i want my fat stomach to be normal! what exercises for my stomach to get rid of fat i no running but what else? i like running but i never can go outside and i cant inside so what else for my stomach exept running? (link)
Any type of cardio exercise will help. If you do crunches, then when you burn the fat off you will have muscle which is good. So now just work on exercising by running, jogging, walking, swimming, bicycling, dancing, jumping rope, etc. Anything to get your heart pumping should help! And it's not all exercise, so watch your diet as well as about 30 minutes or more of cardio work a day. Good luck!


Pls help me, I'm so confused! I'm 17/M, and black. I've always been real popular with the girls and I never questioned my sexuality bfore but now I do cuz I'm very confused about my friend Steven.

He is very different from my other friends who are mostly hiphoppers, he's got spiky, black hair that is long in one side and I think hes gothic - very pale and white, and like real skinny and pretty like a girl. He also has many of his friends wearin' only black.

He is one year younger than me and I guess I've been quite protective towards him all along. I always stood up for him when some of the other black guys wanted to beat him up because he's white and wears gothic-kindda clothes and even eyeliner.

Latey I've become more and more obsessed with Steven and I can't stop thinking about him when we're not together and even think of how it would be to have sex with him?
I know that he's bisexual cuz he's told me, and I think he knows the effect he has on me and it's like it's humouring him. I sometimes get the feeling that he's actually teasing me and I don't know what to do

I try to convince myself that it's just curiousity, but I'm not too sure? I have NEVER been attracted to any other male bfore and I really don't want to be gay! It would be such trouble with my friends, my family, my whole life!
I relly need some advice, and fast! (link)
Don't listen to the other answer. Nothing is for sure yet. As a teenager it is very common to be curious enough to have a crush on the same sex. Do you like girls also, or has your guy friend consumed all of your thoughts? It's possible you are bisexual or gay, so don't try to convince yourself otherwise. You have to be yourself and don't try to hide any feelings you're having from yourself!


how do i get rid of REALLY i mean REALLY bad, red & sometimes like blackish bags all around my eyes?
thankss =] (link)
I've had the same problem, what has worked best for me so far is freezing 2 spoons overnight, then in the morning put them under your eyes for a bit. It should de-puff them a good amount. Then some good concealer or coverup should fix the discoloration. Hope I helped. =]


what's the maxium number of hours you can leave a tampon in? Because I'll wear one right before I go to school and I'll leave it on for..6 and a half hours and change when I get home? Because the school washrooms are dirty and I don't go home for lunch (link)
You can leave a tampon in for 8 hours before worrying about TSS. But it's best to change it a few hours before then. What you're doing now should be fine but you would be better off changing about every 4 or 5 hours if you can.


Im 13/F. I live in a really small town which is basically a retirement community. The people that live here are all elderly. A week or so ago I found some kids that actually live here. They are honestly the only kids older than 9 that live here. There is a problem though. They are not exactly good role models at all. 1 is my age, another is 12 and 1 is 14 and the other is 15. A pretty close age range really. The main problem is I know for a fact they do drugs and stuff. Before it never really bothered me until last night when one of my school friends (im actually really girly/preppy) asked me if I ever did drugs. I replied no and the friend told me how he was worried that if I keep hanging out with them they might pressure me into starting. I dont want to and I know they kinda want me to start but whenever they bring out the stuff I have to go cause I have a curfew. I also know they are not virgins and they umm have active sex lives. The 15 year-old may be pregnent. Im kind of scared now and Im starting to debate wether or not I should go near them. They are the ONLY kids in this whole town but I dont want to be presurred into anything. Any Advice?? (link)
If you are just hanging out with them while they are not doing drugs or anything I wouldn't get too worried. If they ever try to pressure you into doing anything, just stop hanging out with them. Definitely don't hang out with them if they are doing drugs around you and stuff though, because you never know how that could end up and you could get in a lot of trouble.


It seems like all boys only like the girls that are extremely pretty. I just always feel so ugly and not good enough. Will they always be like this? (link)
Of course not! Don't feel ugly, everyone is beautiful in their own way and there are plenty of guys out there who can actually see the beauty in every girl. Don't worry about it, and guys will eventually become more mature and the hormones will settle down some.


I know everybody hates these questions, and I just spent an hour googling these lyrics. I heard this song once and liked it, it was upbeat (about 120 beats per minute) and was one of those songs you can bob your head to. Here are the lyrics I can remember:
"We're going down, down baby..."
It's not death metal or rap or anything. I'm not sure of the exact genre. Thank y'all so much! (link)
The only one I can think of is Country Grammar by Nelly, but you said it wasn't rap... sorry if I didn't help, just throwing it out there.


OK so I just got this new cell phone, it's a RAZR phone from U.S. Cellular & my friend's friend was able to record something & set it as her ringtone & she has the same phone as me. I know how to record it..
but does anyone know how to set it as a ringtone?
it's red if that helps & after i record it, i hit options & all it says is "new, delete, delete all, lock, unlock, &/or memory."
help!!
thanks in advance
(link)
I'm not sure if it is the same with the RAZR, but on my phone, if you send a pix message to yourself with what you recorded as the sound, you can save it as a ringtone. So send a pix message to yourself without a picture, and just choose the recording as the sound. From there you should be able to set it as a ringtone, but if you can't it may say "save sound". Then you can go to ringtones and it should be listed there.


I am 16/f, just to get that out of my way.

Let me just start off by saying, I have been in and out of maybe 6 relationships ever since 9th grade, I am now in 10th, and those have never lasted longer than 2 weeks. Various reasons to be broadly stated.

So I've been off dating field for about 6 months when I meet this great guy and things went good so now we are going out and I am surprise to say that we have been going out for about 3 weeks...(ha yes, 3 weeks isn't long time but it is to me compared to other relationships) and just couple days ago my bf told me, "i know this is a day late(referring to valentines day), but I love you"

and i was COMPLETELY shocked by this. My head is going out of control thinking, how could you love me? how can someone LOVE someone when they known each other for less than a month and have been going out for little over 2 weeks?

I mean i didnt tell him, I just told him that I am really not ready to say I love him, but i really do like him a lot. Which I am glad that he understood perfectly well and wasn't upset in any way.

So I don't regret anything on that, but What my real question is, Is it possible for someone to love someone in that short amount of time?

I mean, I am not doubting his affection for me and his respect for me nor am I really going to ask him but on the back of my mind, I can't help but to wonder, is he really saying that because he mean it?

I mean i did ask if he meant it and he looked at me straight in the eye with serious face...

and also, how do I know if i LOVE him? obviously I have never loved somebody... Yeah i know I am suppose to just "know" if its love but still...

I was thinking of asking him that question... "Define Love"

Thank you (link)
Loving someone is different than being IN love with someone. He could definitely love you. That would mean he cares about you deeply and thinks about you a lot of the time. Being IN love with him would be different, and if that is what he meant I find it hard to believe he could be in love that quickly, but it's still possible. He may have just wanted to tell you because of Valentine's Day, since it is a typical day to tell someone that.


my mom can't know about me not being a virgin in really freaken out about this all of it (link)
I understand, well first I would look up your symptoms online and see if it could be anything serious. If it's nothing really bad, wait for a few days and see if it goes away. If your boyfriend was also a virgin it SHOULDN'T be an STD but it's still possible. If it doesn't go away after about a week I would go to the doctor. And you can just tell your mom you feel itchy down there but you're not sure why, and you can tell your doctor you had sex. Legally your doctor cannot tell your mom if he does not have your permission, I believe, because your files close when you are 12 years old I think.

EDIT: No problem! Glad I helped and hope it all works out for you.


on valentines day i lost my virginity to my bf who i love very much . one thing led to another and we ended up having sex he tryed to put on a condom but was to overwelmed and couldn't get it on so we ended up haveing sex with out a condom . now i itch in that general area bi the way im a girl 15 i itch burn there are bumpes that have gotten bigger this started yestoday he was a virgin so was i and im scared its red bumpy sweeling burning itching . what do i do . why is it doing this.i need help im really scared please help me Please (link)
You should probably go to a doctor and get that checked out. It could be nothing but it sounds like it could need some sort of treatment.


Is there a quick way I can take out like 5 seconds in the middle of a movie thats about 3 minutes long and just have those 5 seconds as a video by itself? Thanks. (link)
Windows Movie Maker should do the trick.


O.K. well you here people like saying they want to hit 2nd base in a relationship.... what does that mean? like what are all the bases & what do they mean?
(link)
I think it's easiest to think of them as the 4 F's.

1st - French
2nd - Feel
3rd - Finger
4th - Fuck

Haha so anything kind of related to them fit in under those bases.


I never liked reading much, but a few months ago a read the mitch albom books, like five people you meet and hevean and tuesdays with morrie. Im planning on reading the 3rd one too(im not sure of the name). Now i really want to read more. What are some other good books. Im 16/f by the way.

thankss (link)
Same thing happened to me, I really didn't ever like reading but I read a book for school over the summer and loved it and I've been reading his books since then. I really recommend Harlan Coben. Any of his books are good, my favorite so far was Tell No One.


does any one know any other advice websites? (link)
Haha, well this is the best site I've been at so far. But this one is also good:

http://groups.teenhelp.org/index.php

Hope I helped!


i saw on a commerical on the show juvies on mtv that this one kid got arrested for battery, what does that mean? (link)
Battery is beating. So he was arrested for beating someone I suppose.


What does it mean to "get dumb"

these 2 black guys keep asking my Spanish teacher if he knows how to "get dumb" if it helps, i live in central california, I know the word hife, hyphy, etc. comes from the bay area, so i dont know if that info helps or not

thax! (link)
I'd say it's kind of like saying "get crunk" lol. Hope that helped =P


okay, so i went snowboarding this weekend, and 2 of my guy friends came. (they're best friends) and 1 of them i like, and the other one likes me. neither of them know i like the 1st one. Anyways, the second guy told me that the 1st guy is going out with this girl, who basically has a new boyfriend every week. however, guy 1 and i are really good friends and he hasn't mentioned it, even when we came really close to the subject. i don't want to say anything, because i want him to tell me on his terms. but i don't know why he hasn't told me! we talk about everything.. its so weird. what should i make of this, do you think? (link)
It could be that he is even embarassed to be going out with this girl, because by what you said she seems to go through boyfriends pretty quickly. Not to insult him, but it's possible he thought she would be easy to go out with and maybe would hope to make you jealous even? Talk to him about it =]


Wooo...here we go. Oh boy. This is so upsetting. I was in a best-friend kind of relationship with a guy for the past 7 months. We were EXTREMELY close, up until today. And I'm just so confused with what's going on. I'm 15 and he's 17. We were very personal with each other, being able to tell secrets, share feelings, console each other in times of trouble, care a lot for eachother, and we shared a lot of interests too. About 4 months ago, he started telling me that he loved me. I, of course, was very excited, thinking that he really DOES love me. So I began to get very clingy to him, flirting and being very sweet because I really DID love him. He would tell me how beautiful I am, and how he wanted to see me all the time and how he wanted to play with my hair and that my eyes were so beautiful and when he sees me the next time, he will give me his whole music collection and we will snuggle to the music of a record player and he will kiss me on the forehead and tell me how much he loves me. He teased me a lot too. But for the past 4 months, I've been noticing that he's been saying similar things to OTHER girls! I was outraged and so full of jealousy. He said the EXACT same thing to them! "Oh you know you're the only one for me ";)""....That was the last straw. Whenever he is on MSN, there are other girls online and he completely ignores me and chats with them! And when we're in a group convo with our friends (who are like 16 - 18) he flirts around with them! But then after, he tells me that I'm the ONLY one he loves and "you should know that by now, cutie, hehe *kiss*". Well, finally getting to the point, today, on MSN...he told me that he thinks that it won't work out! He says that "I'm not the one you want" and "you will be able to find other guys". I don't know what to do, guys...I really don't. Looks to me like he's been leading me on...and then, when I opened my heart out to him, he broke it. ;_;...what should I do? I still love him, but he just says "But we'll always be friends". I just...don't know if I can trust him anymore...*sigh*. ;_____; (link)
I've been in a similar situation, but not that extreme. I know how it feels, and your situation seems 10x worse so you've got to be pretty upset =[ You have to just get over him. There's nothing else that you can do. If you stay friends with him you'll be hurting whenever you see him. He's not trustworthy. One day you'll find a guy who will really be like who you thought this guy was. Good luck.
