hey i need to save some work ( around half a gig's worth) and as my brother is rebooting the computer i need to save it somewhere fast !! my usb stick is full..and i don't have any floppys what should i do ?!
p.s: i do have an email account if that helps ? (link)
send all you need to yourself. just save your work to you computer adn then go into email adn attach files of your work. then email them to yourself. it helps!


Okay, I took peoples advice yesterday and stayed home... very good advice. Anyway, since all I ate yesterday were 2 pieces of toast with jam and I drank about 4oz of ginger ale and a few sips of gatorade, there's pretty much nothing for my body to reject and all I've done was dry heave (only twice, but still). Am I better off eating something and vomiting that up, or am I better off with dry heaves (or whatever it's called when nothing actually comes up but you still vomit)? I just wasn't sure if dry heaving is worse for you than actually throwing something up. Oh, and my mouth is dry and I want to drink something. I have 2 eight-ounce cans of ginger ale and I've got gatorade and water. I've always been taught ginger ale is best for the upset stomach. So my 2 questions are, which is worse, dry heaving or vomiting up something, and should I drink something even if I know I'll probably bring it back up? Thanks in advance. (link)
well sorry! i thought you were doing it on purpose. but dry heave is bad and vomiting is kind of okay. and yuo are right vomiting on purpose is bad. and yeah you should. like i said orange juice andwater is good. adn eating helps your stomach a little because your body needs to have food esp.when sick.but dry heaving indicates that you are about to hrow up but have nothing left.and vomiting is involuntary-your body does it maybe because your are taking in something that the body doesn't like.so i hope i answered your question. adn get better!


ok, i made a huge mistake. I stupidly shaved off all my hair down there and now it is horrible and scratchy and itchy and there are lots of bright red dots and ingrown looking hairs. someone PLEASSSSEEEEE tell me what i can do! (link)
it's just like regular hair an dthose spots are shave bumps and hair bumps. but it will grow back eventually as long as you keep clean and just don't shave down there unless it's professional again!p.s. u possibly have razor burn, but the pain will go away.


I am scared out of my mind. 16/f
On friday I gave up my virginity to my boyfriend. We used a condom and everything went well. But now, probably because it was my first time, i'm getting paranoid...
I have an irregular period cycle, sometimes going 3 months in a row with no period. I bled a little on friday and had some abdominal cramps on saturday. A friend told me that since it was my first time, it would probably make my period come. But it hasn't yet. I'm getting mild stomach cramps, but no blood. I know it's only tuesday, but I'm scared.
How likely is it that I'm preggers?
How soon can I take a take-home test and make sure it's accurate?? I'm so frightened I may be pg I don't know what to do... (link)
well it takes one day fro you to concieve. adn since your period is irregular, it might come later than usual.but yep u rae paranoid ove your frist time. but just calm down adn relax. adn maybe just don't have sex for a while until u get yourself staightened out


So..
I hate asking these sort of questions
But i really need help..
I just bought my boyfriend things for christmas..
but its birthday is.. the 14th of january.. so that means..
i'm always going to have to be birthday shopping for him..
my problem is..
i ran out of ideas of things to get him
and im meeting his parents
and a lot of his family
on his birthday
and i want to get him somthing
not only nice
but spceicl
that doesnt cost 500.
im already decided
since hes turning 16
for a joke to get him a toy car..
haha.
butt.
i want to get him somthing he'll love.

toys.
i know guys don trealy like that mushy stuff.. so i'll save that for valentines day..


(link)
well, he's a capricorn and they lkie gifts that show your respect towards him, they like monogramed things with there names on it(well i've heard). they also love things that can last forever. so just give him something based on his personality-something that fits him. you will know when you see it becaus eyou know him!


I'm 13 and i habe b36 boobs.I'm 120lbs and everything and i don't have my period. I don't want it- but I just wanna know when i'm going to get it. My mom died when I was younger so i can't ask her (duh haha), and my aunt can't remember. Is there like a website or something where you can plug in information and like get back a certain date?

thankss (link)
well, i don't think so. but i am 15 and120 -125 lbs. and have the same breast size. and i got my period before i had my hios adn curves and stuff. so it varies. the only thing a website can do is tell you that periods don't come young all the time. they may come later on. puberty is a strange thing and it's irratating, but we have to deal with it!


I've been really worried because I want to wear a tampon when I get my period. So I tried putting one on before i got it and it didn't go in. Is it not suppose to go in when you don't have it.. or does it take practice? What i'm wondering is how am i gunna put it?


(link)
well, you gotta know which one is better for your body type. everything isn't for everybody. but yeah it takes practice. but i perfer not to wear them, but if they feel uncomfortable, then use pads. but practice and find one that's good for your body type!


Okay, Im sick of being fat.
I know how to diet and exercise and etc but I just cant stick to it for a long period of time but im trying.
Alot of people tell me Im pretty , but i just think Id be so much better looking If i was skinny.
I need something to boost my confidence or make me stick to the diet more continuesly.
Thanks!
(link)
okay i am like 5'3 adn 120 pounds and i wouild love to be biggger. peopl etell me that i am perfect sized adn am not really skinny(maybe it's just the height). but i feel big is beautifu- not overweight big but volumptous big. nice and curvy healthy big. a big motivational factor when gaining or losing weight is to haev some body doing it with you. get a trainer or go to a workout center like curves or something with very motivational trainers. but take someone with you. and i just want you to know we all aren't built the same adn we should accept that. we can only do so much!


no one get freaked out, but is it weird to be curious about how to kill someone? There's this person i really hate, i wish they'd die. I'd never ever kill someone but is is wierd to search and be curious about ways to kill someone? how do i stop? (link)
okay you have to understand that you are not going to like everyone and evryone isn't going to like you. but you have to know that the people that don't lik eyou aren't trying to kill you. and talk to a therapist if it's that bad. or just pray. but you aren't going to like evrybody like i said before-so just deal with it!


on oct 28th my period came normally, heavy with lots of cramps, lol, and i had no pregnancy symptoms. on nov 16th i bled abnormally and extremely light for 2 days and spotted for the next 2 days...this has never happened to me before. (i had an abortion at 17, if that helps any). im only sexually active with one man for the past year and a half, and ive only been using condoms for protection everytime. nov 28th past and yet no period has come. i started to experience pregnancy symptoms on the 24th of nov, but no period came...i had a urine and blood test at the hospital on dec 6. urine was negative and no word on the blood, hopefully good news today.can i have your opinion, cause doctors only seem to help if your testing positive right then and there, thank you (link)
well, maybe your hormones are out of whack! my period is like that to, but usuaully it comes back up. I suggest that you should take a pregnancy test but if you are using protecttion,why should you. but go to a gynecologist because they know more about stuff like this then we do. Better safe then sorry ;)


Ok, I'm 14 and last night when I weighed myself I was 106...and that was with everything I ate (which I didn't eat much) I'm really worried because everytime I get hungry, I'm not as soon as I see food, or when I eat food, I'll get full after ONE BITE! My mom said that if I don't eat more soon she'll take me to a hospital...and I don't want that. So I've been forcing myself to eat...but the bad part of that is that everytime I force myself to eat...it hurts my stomach and makes me feel like I'm going to throw up...can anyone tell my easy foods to eat? I really need y'alls advice(and just saying something...I don't want to lose weight, I want to gain it...and I ain't one of those girls' who starves herself, so dont go thinking that alright?) (link)
well you are young. adn i want to gain weight as well. but i really don't know. so the healthiest adn best way is to just go to a doctor and talk to them.that's what they go to school for!


my family keeps asking me if i am depressed what should i do to show them that truthfully i am not? its really bugging me for once i am not depressed! (link)
well i don't know how you have been doing. you may show symptons of it, but if you are young and dealing with something then you should talk to them. but if you aren't just talk to them adn ask them why they think that and tell them what's been going on, so they won't feel like that adn bug you because i was depresse and everyone asked me too-but it was true with me. but just talk to them!


Has anyone ever used Proactive and seen a dramatic difference? I've been using it for about a month now, but I'm not noticing a real big difference. Do you have any advice, if it's working for you what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks! (link)
well you should wait a few more weeks. everybody reacts differently.but if it doesn't work, there are many products out there like maybe nuetrogena or clean and clear. but have patience!


I'm 26 yr old male and my brother passed away a few years ago, leaving his son who is now 12. I'm am still very close to my nephew. I talk to him on the phone alot, email with him, etc. His mom is a terrible mom, who happens to have 2 other kids from 2 other men and wastes the social security money from my brother on cigarettes, alcohol, and frivilous items. She pays no attention to the boy and he stays with his grandma most nights because she doesnt wake him up in time for him to go go school. I'm afraid my nephew might soon turn to drugs, alcohol, etc. I've also noticed quite a lack of self esteem. I know that he has had 'girlfriends' but have yet to see them or meet them. His friends seem to be good, but I believe Im too old to be able to judge 12-13 year olds. He needs a man in his life and everytime Im in the area he always stays with me (I live 2 hours away). I plan to move back into the area soon and feel that he may want to live with me. Heres the questions:
1. How can I help to make sure he stays on the right path until I get there? I've already had the sex, drinking, pot, and cigarette talks with him.
2. How could I approach to his mother the possibility of him living with me, which I want to happen for his sake.
3. If he were to move in with me, would it be wrong to ask for the social security that HE should be getting for my brother's death so I can start a fund for him for college, car, etc.? (link)
well i think as long as you are talking to him and being there to help him along, that is all you can do. you aren't to old to judge a 12-13 year old because you have been one. however these are different times.you should tell her that if she really wanted her son to grow up a good man he needs a good role model. i have strong feeling she won't listen,so if you need to go to court and he seems worth it you should. but as long as your motives are in tact, you should get the ayment for his father's funeral.but good luck adn i think you are great for doing this.


I don't know, I've just been thinking about this alot lately. Okay, you know how people always say that to go to Heaven you have to believe in God and be religious and such? Well, what about a person who is kind and selfless and is just a good person in general and is an athiest? Does that mean that they wouldn't go to Heaven even though they were a good person who did good for other people? Because if you think about it, not every person who is religious is good. Like the terrorists who flew the plane into the World Trade Center, causing the deaths of all those innocent people. They claimed that they were doing that for God and their religion. I mean, wouldn't it seem wrong for a person just to go to Heaven because they were religious even if they weren't a good person, and a person who was a really good person not going to Heaven because they weren't religious? I was just thinking about this and wondering if anybody had some answers, perhaps? (link)
okay. i really don't know much about people like that and who goes to heaven. but i think you should just give yourself to the Lord. I mean what is holding you back from him. You obviously belive there is a God if you wanna go to heaven. but i would dedicate my life to God because it has a lot of benifits. but you are right all people who go to church aren't godly, but some are. but God knows your heart adn theirs too. but when we turn 12 everything we do is our own fault. you don't have to follow God because your parents did, be better then them. my parents didn't but i do. so just give yourself to him.

I'm so sick of being alive. Everything is so hard. I can't stand it. It's like I'm doing something wrong. I have few friends, but it doesn't matter because I don't like them. I don't like any one. People don't meet my standards and they never will. And when it comes to girls I have no idea what I'm doing. It's like there's some secret technique that every one but me seems to understand. My problems with girls contribute the most to my loneliness and depression. I'm unmotivated in school, because I care more about trying to find a place I belong, trying to find some one who understands me. I can hardly sleep because I'm always worrying about all this. I'm scared I'll never have friends. I'm scared I'll never have a good job. I'm scared I'll never have my first kiss or have sex, and if I do it will be with some one I don't want to do it with. Somewhere between now and the next few years I 100% sure I'll be dead. I can't take it anymore. I've been to therapy and they even locked me up like a criminal in a mental health ward, but to no avail. I hate life. I hate myself. I hate every one, especially if they're happy. I don't see things ever getting better. Please help me. And don't post anything about God, Jesus, or religion of any kind, it will be an automatic 1 on your rating. (link)
okay you need to calm down. i used to be just like you and i went to therapy and i know you don't wanna hear about church but that helped to. uyouneed help and you wouldn't be on this line if you didn't want it. but the whole i am scared about sex and love,etc. is all fear.it happens when it happens if you are always fearful of life and saying bad things then that's where life is going to lead you. You should read books like "live your best life now "by joel osteen. it sounds cheesy but it works. i you aren't trying to be better and happier then you won't. i had to learn that. you are not the only person in this world who feels like that. you're nothing but 16! u have your whole life to live for. all teens deal with self-image and stuff. and that whole no one meets my standards is the reason you proably don't have friends(keepinitreal) you can't put standards on people. if you do that then they will back away from you. you have to accept people with who they are like you would want them to do you. and i don't care if you are going to give me a 1 but church is great. god put you here for a reason. he approved of everyone on this earth adn you aren't an exception!people care because if they didn't i wouldn't have answered. so please get better for me!


alright boys..when your making out with your girlfriends, what are some things she does that drives you wild!? (in a good way) i need to know because my boyfriend has been to second base with me and we french kiss and stuff..but what are some things other than runnin my hands through his hair and kissing him to make him really like it??? (link)
maybe ear nibbling or mouth feeding him. just a lot of kissing and stuff. but ear nibbling adn soft whispering is good!


i was wondering if you just drink a little alcohol but not enough to get you drunk, then some weed.. would that get you really messed up? (link)
uhhh! yeah! lol. but i am young adn a little is okay but you hsouldn't be doing it at all! all of that stuff messes u up-so quit it!


I'm a flat out slut.
I always let guys do stuff to me and take advantage of me sexually.
For some odd reason, i think its fun to get guys horny.
I used to think it was becuase they liked me, but they dont. And no matter what,I still continue to do it , Im not a bad person at all.
I just cant stop doing it!
I usually do it to guys I like or think is hot.
I want to stop, but I dont know how!
And I want guys to start liking me for who I am.
Please dont insult me, i just need help.

Thanks

Okay! I think you should just slow down. I believe what you have is valuble and if someone really loved you then they would wait until you are ready. Plus you are way to young and there are alot of problems and diseases in this world. Men are men and if you are a kind of girl who likes to give away they are going to take that poourtunity. I belive you should pray. it may sound stupid but it works! i believe you are a good person too. but talk to your mom adn if you want just tell me. just tell yourself that you will stop over again and get your self-esteem up. but remember that no man who doesn't respect you is worth your time nor your purity!


my friend's boyfriend has been harassing me since last year. He keeps doing things to my locker such as smashing a banana on it, putting tape all over, writing all over it, leaving long notes, putting signs with names such as boob girl or b***h etc. He would also spread all these rumors about me and call me all of these names. when my friend tells him to stop he refuses and he said that he wants to hurt me. she wants to protect her boyfriend from being suspended and she is trying to stop me from telling the GLC. He has been doing the same things to other people but they are too afraid of him to speak up. I really want to tell the GLC and take action but would I be doing the right thing by doing that even if I probably won't be friends with her anymore? also, I know that the GLC won't believe me since I don't have enough evidence to prove what he is doing to me. what should I do in this situation? (link)
i dont care what you believe or if your freind doesn't wanna get him in trouble'tell th eglc and i would also tell my parents and the police.i think something is really wrong with him and that you sould tell some one befor eit gets to serious and he actually does somthing.your friend is blinded and if she cared about you'she would support you all the way about the harrasment thing,so do it no matter what and i thin kyou should try to motivate the othe rpeople he is harrasing,he need sto be stoped.so tell.i am so serious-tell tell tell!
