i dont have my period yet and im 13years old. all of my friends have it too. is there like something wrong with me? (link)
No, a lot of people have not had their period at your age. it is perfectly normal. There is nothing wrong with you. Some people grow slower than others. Like I said before it is perfectly NORMAL! Hope that helped!
:) :) :D


I`m a straight A student. Last week I grabbed the wrong composition notebook so I wasn`t able to turn in my weekly D.O.G Work. My teacher refused to take it when I turned it in late for half credit. I told her today I admit I made a mistake and asked if there was anything I could do. ( my grade was a 96 but since I didn`t turn it down it went to a 71%) She yelled at me, Told me she wouldn`t grade any crap that I would do to get extra credit, laughed in my face, and completly insulted me ( and made me cry ; I don`t cry easily ) in front of the whole class. Now getting a C wouldn`t upset me, however if I don`t get 98 or above on ALL my papers/projects/tests from now on that grade could easily fall to an F and I would be kicked off of the cheerleading squad and lose my Captain position. What do I do ? I Have no hope of getting any sorta extra credit ; progress reports come out on this coming Monday and my coach always does grade checks.
PLEASE HELP ME. (link)
Ok, well that was just unfair of your teacher. It may be hard but you need to report her to a trusted adult(s)like your parents or the principal. You cannot put up w/that! Teachers are supposed to help you! Now about your grades,calm down and think about the situation (i know, i know it sounds boring but it works)You need to make the grade. So do all your homework from now on very carefully and make sure someone else knows your situation. TELL YOUR COACH! she/he should know why your grade went down. Anyways your teacher was so mean and ummmm really rude. That is my advice.


Went out earlier tonight and stole as many flowers out of gardens as I posibly could, ended up with quite a lot of differant flowers.
Went to this girls house, who I have been out with at least 6 times, climbed over her apartment fence (questioning my sanity at being there in the middle of the night) scatered the flowers on her lawn and left.
I'm kinda scared that she will think I'm a weirdo stalker or something, but I really hope it makes her happy and special...
I have a idea that she likes me...kinda saw her being jeolous at another woman i was talking to one night (the woman was sweet, but happely married to someone else, and I REALLY like this girl)
anyway the real question for the modern age...would you consider this Romantic or Creepy? (link)
Well to tell you the truth you can look at the question in 2 ways. You can say it was romantic about the flowers and all but creepy because what if the girl you sent them too did NOT like you and had no idea where the flowers came from. But I say in my opinion very romantic.

Okay i need the answer to this riddle please!!

You are stuck in a room with no windows or doors. a solid room. Only things in this room is a mirror and a table. how do you escape?

It really got me thinking and i can't seem to find out the answer. If i think you got it right then i`ll give you a 5. but if you try i`ll give you a 5 also!! =D thank you (link)
Well..like a lot of other people I have heard the riddle as well....the answer is that you look intot he mirror and see what you saw. You take the saw and cut the table in half which makes a hole. Then you use the hole to escape.

I think that is it
Hope it helped!


Some of my friends are smoking (cigarettes). I'm really worried but I don't think they'll listen to me if I ask them to stop. Should I stop hanging out with them or what? I'm afraid of being pressured by them. (link)
I see you have a ton of answers and 'll give you another. It is better to stay away from peer pressure than to be with it. I am not saying leave your friends but I would advise you to be aware of how smoking would harm you. I know there may have been people to tell you NEVER SMOKE when you were a kid, and they probably are still saying that now. AND it is all true. I bet some of your friends forgot the risks of smoking. If they are good friends they'll listen to you. It may be hard to stop but w/ your help they can. If that doesn't work..you can hang out with them...but not too much or you'll be pressured. But, like I said, if they are true friends they will listen to you. That is my advice.


ok my parents were not home so i took there car out to practice my driving.then i took the car to go out to the mall and go shopping.when i came back from shopping there was a huge scratch on the hood of it!please help!!! (link)
Well...that is a bit of a problem...but let me see what I can do. There are a few things you can do:

1. If you don't want to get in trouble...go to a local car fixer place (LOL) and ask them what to do and see what can be done

2. The truth will come out some time or another...tell your parents the truth...nd tell them you went on a practice drive and beg them etc. etc.

3. You can do nothing. I advise you against that but it is your own freewill. If they ask you what happened say you have no clue.

I wish you luck..that is my advice. I would not do #3 though...a warning...before you land yourself in more trouble..

GOODLUCK! :)


i am 13/f and i love acting and singing and i really want a career in it! that's like all i want to do... i want to act, sing, model, dance, be a performer! this may sound really stupid... but does anyone know a way to get discovered? this is what i really want to do... and soon! thank you very much!!! (link)
Well to be discovered go to a local drama theatre where they do classes. Do choir. If you want get a voice-dierector. Find someone in your community who is associated w/ that kind of stuff you like! GOODLUCK! CYA ON TV!!!! LOL!


I chew on my hair alot. will that harm me in any way?

please help!!!
13/f (link)
Chewing your hair...well to be on the safe side I would stop right now! It is such a bad habit to take on....not only that but it will be gard to get rid of. Also...just a little advice...do not chew on your hair in front of people....some people can be really mean nowadays! I know from experience. But harming your hair....probably not but if you keep up w/ the bad habit always remember to rinse your hair well and use good shampoo that helps your hair just to be precautionous.

To stop the bad habit you can soak a strand of your hair in sour lemon juice so whenever you chew on it, it will taste nasty.


well i like this guy at my school. Last year he used to be soooooooooooo annoying but this year i think he's really cute! but i cant tell if he likes me!!! plz help!

here's some signs that he might like me...........................

1. he always talks to me
2.he asked me to sit on his lap (being me i said no)
3. really nice to me
4. he usually goes out of his way just to talk to me ( like one time he was late for class because he was talking to me)

-sammy (link)
He likes you! If all you said is true.....it is a definate~It is either that or he looks up to you and admires you. Though to be resonable, play along but wait till when he makes a real big move if you want to tell him you like him. That is my advice~

CONGRATS AND GOODLUCKS!


Hi Guys my girlfriend is a couple of years younger than me (23) but she acts like a little kid! When we're out with her friends that are her same age group she's acts completely normal and I am so attracted to her as a person when she's like this. BUT whenever she's out with my friends (their my age) she acts like a little brat, i'm a pretty patient person so have put up with it for a while now, but its starting to be a problem as i feel a little nervous whenever I take her out.

she's acts like this constantly when we're with her family too (she's the youngest child), and i guess her family has treated her like she's the youngest child like forever...

What should I do? I really love this girl, but its just in circumstances where its starting to stress me out. If its a psychological thing i wanna help her through this, just wondering what you guys thought. (link)
She acts like this because like you said she is the youngest child and is used to getting attention. She doesn't act like this in front of her friends because they would think she was immature. She doesn't care if she acts like a clown in front of your friends because it is nature...it was how she grew up. Tell the girl you love her. Do it at the right timing...like when you guys are alone and say it right out...maybe she will understand and stop acting like a pain. I am sure she is just doing that npt because of any love resons but because she was born the youngest. That is my advice.


okay what would you do if this "friend" always ditches u for someone else and only hangs around you when she aint got nobody else? i mean we use to be really good friends but now she only wants to hang with this other friend and is beiong really mean? please help!!! thanks buh bye!! (link)
People are like that, I know a ton of people who do it and guess what? They don't have many friends in the long run. If she doesn't give you her time don't give her yours. Is she even still a "friend?" If she keeps being mean to you ignore it and go on w/ your life. You will meet a ton of people like that....it is life. Luckly, by that time you will know what to do. So, go make some new friends, and do not ever beg or make her underestimate you. If she hangs around you when she has nobody else be nice...but you know what I mean....what true friend would ever walk away from someone loyal and then when they have noone come back to the loyal friend. That is my advice.


all my friends are made at me except one. i didnt have that many friends anyways. i have all my classes with those peple that hate me!!!!!!! plz help! my life is a living hell!!!!!!
(link)
First you should think of what happened between you and your friends. You should also try to talk to your friends that you are in a fight with. Try to go over what happened and why. Remember never stress out. I was once in your postition. Now I am not.My freinds and I are back together.
All it took was a little talk to see what happened and why.:)


me and this guy like eachother and we meet at a camp this summer. but we live 2 far away. I am going 2 see him soon. and some people think that hes going 2 ask me out. but i dont know if i would want 2 because of the distance. like i would but the distance is a big thing.

what should i do?

Thanks (link)
If you really like him follow your heart. Do what you think is right. If you think distance is a big thing then talk to him about it...maybe you guys can work something out. If you guys can't work something out then meet at camp again. That is my advice.


Ok...I always wash my face once a day. Sometimes 2 times. I can't keep the zits from coming! I need help. How do you prevent zits and blackheads!!?!?!?! (link)
You are not the only one. There are many girls your age that gets this. Everyone's face breaks out some time in their life. Keep washing your face and if they keep coming ask your doctor or school nurse if there is any product that may help you.


Ok, I like guy, guy likes me. I found out he liked me today from a friend of us both. He told her this exactly (at least from what I know) "I like (my name), but I am going to wait a while so I can make sure she is right." Omg, I like him so much, haha, anyways I was wondering when this would be...? (link)
It may not be anytime soon....but don't let that bring your hopes down. He just wants to make sure that he doesn't get his heart broken or something like that. So if he watches you more closely than usual don't be intimidated. BE YOURSELF! (I know, I know I give everyone that advice when they ask me this kind of question but it actually is TRUE! Believe me! Anyways that is my advice.
P.S. GREAT JOB! CONGRATS! GOOD LUCK!


ok i no this has got to be the most common question in the world but im still asking it...ok i reallllly like this guy and we talk a lot but not A LOT so how do i know if he likes me or how do i get him to notice me or something! please help me thanks (link)
Well be yourself...and keep talking..the more you know him and he knows you hopefully the better. If you want to know if he likes you watch his face closely when you talk to him. If he smiles a lot etc. you never know..:) He may consider you a good friend if you guys are close...if he does that is a good start. If you want to get noticed flirt a little. BUT BE URSELF! It is the most important key in lovelife..at least to me. It is better that you be yourself instead of someone else.


I am a kinda...traditional gurl. i would prefer the guy ask me out. i want this guy that i like to finally realize that what he has been looking for is right in front of him. but i dont want to just come out and tell him that i like him... what should i do (link)
Here is some advice: like I've said to other people the KEY to all this love stuff is to be yourself. The boy needs to get to know you better and same for you to him. He will hopefully notice that the girl is right in front of him. Flirt a little if you have too. But some traditional things need to be broken slowly but surely tons of people like girls ask boys to go out. So try it if you want.


There is this girl I like at work. She seems really cool and it seems like we have alot in common. But she says she has a boyfriend for 7 months. What are some ways that I can get her to leave him and date me? I know its bad, but I think there is a chemistry there. (link)
Not to sound harsh but making he rbreak of w/ her boyfriend is not the best thing to do. If anyone found out there would be major trouble for you. idf there is any chemistry what so ever w/ you and the girl...she would be breaking up with her boyfriend, not you doing it for her. My advice is be yourself. the girl may like you but is waiting for the right time to tell you or she thinks your a great friend. If your a great friend w/ a good personality, your on the way to happiness. That is my advice.


why do guys find the need to have a skinny girl? it gets me mad when a guy is attracted to some skinny girl when he could have great chemistry and a great relationship with a different girl who is overweight?

sam with girls i guess. but guys seem to have a more 'strict criteria' (link)
Guys are weird and if they knew how nice some people are they wouldn't care what their weight was. Guys have strict criteria because (I know this sounds harsh but..) they do not want to have rumors about themselves etc. about his gf. It is kinda a popularity contest for them sometimes. I admit I'm not the most skinniest girl in my class but I'm not overweight. I get mad sometimes as well. But it is the chemisty of life. My advice is be yourself and always be true to yourself if you want to get a guy and gain self-confidence.


I'm 16 and I've never been in love. I'd just like to know if anyone else out there has ever been in my position, because I really feel alone. All of my friends throw around the word "love" after having a 2 hour bf/gf relationship. But, I'm scared when I'm older that I won't ever have that one person to wake up and want to be with everyday! It like scares me. Had anyone else been in my position? (link)
I'm not exactly in your position, as in age wise, but a lot of people in my grade are dating and I have never been in love or dated at all. I'm waiting for that perfect guy. My time will come, so will yours. You just have to be patient. As for your friends, as I said, a ton of people in my grade are dating as well and all my friends are affected by it, but they don't talk about it too often because there are people like you and me who has never been in love. If you want make a joke out of it..in a good way. My advice it be patient......again like i said, your time will come.
