about

Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me.

I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.

I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)

What exactly do you consider "making out"

Hey!

making out... well, that pretty much means a couple is french kissing. that, of course, means they are both kissing each other on the lips and using their tongues... usually each partner's tongue is in the mouth of the other partner's mouth. i wouldn't exactly put a time on it for what is making out and what isn't, but think of it this way... if a couple is saying goodbye and they kiss this way for a few seconds, then i wouldn't really call it making out. but if they are sitting together watching a movie or something, and they start kissing like this and it lasts for some time, then they are making out. hope that made sense and let me know if you need more help! :)

During the first few weeks of summer me and my friends went out and drank for a couple of nights. I can drink alot because I have a high tolerance and I never get hangovers. But throughout the entire week that we were doing this, I had a headache. It wasn't a bad one, but no matter how much medicene I took, it just didn't go away. It never stopped untill I finally stopped drinking for the week. Could it have been an ongoing hangover since we did it every night? Or was it related to something else? thanks.

Hey!

Ok drinking could have deffinitely been the cause of your headache. First of all, it dehydrates you, so if you did it a couple of days in a row and didn't drink plenty of water during the day to hydrate your body, that's a problem. dehydration leads to hangovers, and headaches are deffinitely a part of a hangover!

Also, when you go to sleep drunk, you don't really get the kind of sleep you get when you go to bed sober. When you are drunk, your body doesn't function the way it is supposed to, and when you go to bed in that condition you may not reach REM, which is the part of the sleep cycle during which you dream and really get your rest. lack of sleep can deffinitely give you a headache!

lastly, you said you took over the counter medications to get rid of the headache. most medications like this contain acetaminophen, which you should not take while consuming alcohol... especially a lot of alcohol! this can cause serious liver damage so don't do it in the future!

basically, to prevent this from happening in the future, i don't recomend drinking heavily more than 2 days in a row. drink plenty of water before bed and during the day, try to take a quick nap during the day, and don't mix alcohol with over the counter medications if the label on the box says not to! :) let me know if you need more help!

i have like a bunch of random whiteheads and little zits in random places on my face but i wash my face 3 times a day...in the morning with clean & clear morning burst, at night or when i get back from work or something with neutrogena oil free acne wash and before i go to bed with a noxzema pad but they like wont go away and more keep popping up and its getting annoying...help???

hey!

well it is possible that you are over washing your face. washing your face a lot with lots of different products strips your skin of natural oils, and it may be the cause of your problems. what i suggest you do is buy a good face wash with exfoliating beads in it. the beads will get rid of dead skin, and help get rid of blackheads and such. use it to wash your face at night, right before you go to bed. after that, DO NOT forget to moisturize your face with a good moisturizer... that is soo important!! in the morning, it's probably best to wash your face with just water. if it feels to greasy and you want to use more than just water, use a little bit of the same exfoliating face wash and once again, MOISTURIZE after! this should deffinitely help! :) let me know if you need more help!

eveytime i shave my underarms i get little red bumsp afterwards! thyere so ugly! whats the cause and waht can i do to stop them

hey!!

i know exactly what you're talking about. basically the red bumps mean irritation of some sort... the skin there is pretty sensitive, so that's not surprising. ingrown hairs also occur there a lot, so that's another explanation.

from now on, shave your arm pits in the shower... to be more exact, do it at the end of your shower. using a loofah and body wash, wash under your armpits... this will get rid of left over deodorant and exfoliate your skin and get it ready for the razor. don't rinse yet... put a good amount of shave gel (skintimate is the best!) on each arm pit, and rub it in well. then use a good, sharp razor (2 blades or more) and shave each arm pit. then rinse.

after you get out of the shower, if there are still some red bumps or irritation, you can always use a little bit of hydrocortisone cream to help get rid of the redness and itching. also, wait a little bit before putting deodorant on, because that can irritate just-shaved skin.

and if you don't need to shave your arm pits every single day, try skipping a day. this will deffinitely help stop the irritation! :) hope all this helped and let me know if you need more help!

I have a little mustache problem..
it's not bad...i mean i dont wanna wax because it's not that course.

I tried nair but it irritated my skin...and i dont wanna bleech it. Is there anything i can do???

hey!

well, waxing, nai -like creams, and bleaching are usually the only hair removal options... however, you can always try plucking. that is the only option you have left. i suggest doing it right after you get out of the shower, so that it doesn't hurt too much.

if you have extra money laying around and are dying to spend it, you can always try laser hair removal. it is pretty expensive and it usually requires a few sessions, but the hair will never grow back again. of course you would have to make an appointment for a consultation so that they can determine if you have the right skin and hair for the procedure! :)

well sorry i couldn't help any more, but those are the only options you have. good luck and let me know if you need more help! :)

My boyfriend left his contacts in for 2 or 3 weeks straight. he got in a bad habit of doing this. well, he finally changes his contacts and either the same day or the day after he gets horrible pain in his eye and it gets all red! it is now to the point where he cannot tolerate light and it hurts. i am very worried for him. he is being stubborn and does not want to see a doctor. this happened before and it went away within a week. my mom is a nurse and thinks it is infected. he just thinks i is irritated. i dont want to see him permenantly damaged or suffering! what do i do?

Hey!

Well I can deffinitely see why you are concerned! Really there is nothing you can do other than to urge him to go see a doctor... over and over until he does it! He can be stubborn about seeing the doctor any other time, but when there is eye trouble, that is extremely serious and there is no room for risks. Does he want to worsen his vision and even risk going blind? Why should he risk such a thing if all it takes on his part is to walk in the doctor's office, sit in a chair, and listen to what they have to say. It would take his eye pain away, and it would give him (and you) piece of mind. Explain all this to him, and if he is still stubborn maybe try and convince him to do it by rewarding him in some way? Hahah, kind of like bribing him like you would a little kid (yeah... boys are deffinitely like little kids sometimes). Maybe tell him you'll cook him dinner, or sit through a movie that he wants to see with him... I don't know, whatever he likes, in exchange for him going to the doctor to get checked! :) Let me know if you need more help, and good luck!!

i have blue eyes and brown hair well how can i make my eyes look bigger .. everyone is always saying how pretty my eyes are ... but i want the to stand out more what can i do ? and how can i wear my hair to compliment my eyes && i have really gross eyebrows i hate them they like curl and there wayy long.. HELP PLEASE

HEY!!

Alright, to make your eyes stand out you want to play them up with make up, without playing up other features on your face as much. Apply concealer, bronzer, blush and all that stuff like you normally would (if you do). on your lips, use a light colored or clear lip gloss... nothing dramatic, because that will draw attention to your lips, and not your eyes.

Now, for the eyes, you deffinitely want to use eyeliner. I personally only wear eyeliner on the top... but a lot of people wear it on the bottom or both on the top and bottom. play around with all three options, and see what looks best on you. Liquid eyeliner is also very good because it makes your eyes really stand out. I apply it right above my top lashes, and i wing it out at the ends a little bit. Before eyeliner, you might want to add a nice eyeshadow... pick a color you like, or one that goes with what you're wearing that day! lastly, the most important thing is mascara. I use L'oreal Volume Shocking Mascara... it's different than other mascaras and takes some getting used to, but once you learn how to apply it it will make your lashes look amazing!

As far as your eyebrows, I know what you mean. My eyelashes are like that too and it's soo annoying! What you can do is buy some clear mascara which is also sometimes called brow mascara. Mine is made by maybelline. apply it on your brows before you start doing your make up, let it dry a bit and brush them into shape with a toothbrush (not the same one you brush your teeth with... lol buy another one). I read that in a magazine and it works a lot better than an eyebrow brush. after you do your make up, apply some more of the clear mascara on your brows and brush them again to make sure they stay in place!! that will deffinitely help! :) good luck and let me know if you need more help!

P.S. as far as your hair goes, it doesn't matter what you do with it as long as it's not covering half your face and eyes! :)

Ok, so my best friend is with her second boyfriend ever. The first one only lasted a couple weeks and it wasn't really serious. She has been with the one she's with now since December. Well, they are wicked, wicked serious about each other and I've come to accept that and even be happy for her because she's finally happy again. But this has kinda started to get too far. Her boyfriend asked her to marry him when they become of age and she pretty much said yes. I guess I'm kinda concerned that she's throwing her life away over her second boyfriend. But the major problem with me comes from the age. I'm only 14/f, she's same as me, and he's 15/m. It freaks out alotof our friends because true love at this age is so rare. Do I talk to her or just stay out of it? Am I just jealous?

Hey!

Alright, first of all I don't think you are jealous... but on the other hand, do you think you might be? It is possible that you are a LITTLE jealous, which is totally ok! Who doesn't get jealous of other people and what they have every now and then? Don't worry about that.

As far as your friend's relationship goes, I wouldn't worry about it if I was you. It is her business, and if she is happy with this guy then let them be, and see if things change over time. Even if she stays with this guy for the rest of her life (which is not very likely), it doesn't mean she is throwing her life away. You don't have to have 100 boyfriends to have a good life... you just need to find the right one. Some people find that person on the first try, and others never do... it just depends. I have a friend that has been with her boyfriend for 7 years... since she was 13 years old! And they are very very happy together!

Those two are not getting married any time soon. It is all just talk. My bf and I always talk about that, and we are 20... just because we talk about it, it doesn't mean we are going to do it any time soon. Things like that take time. Every couple always says they will get married. Your friend has been in this relationship for a few months... that's not long at all. Their relationship is still in the easy stage... things will get harder. If they can make it through, then great, and if not then it wasn't meant to be. If she is happy though, let her be. Unless he is abusive or unless she has changed in a bad way because of him, I wouldn't say anything to her about it. There is no need, and she might get mad and take it the wrong way. :) Let me know if you need more help!

15/f -- me and this guy ["jack"] have been friends for about 4 months and lately weve both started to "like" each other more and he's been wantin to ask me out for awhile [he told me so himself] but he knew that although i liked him too, i was really enjoying the single life and wasnt ready to be in another relationship. his brother was talkin to me a lil while back and said that if/when i decided i was ready to go out with jack, i could let him kno and then he'd tell jack he should ask me out. but i wanna put a spin on things and just ask him myself. the prob is, i dont kno how. ive never asked anyone out before. we only get to see each other about once a week cuz he works almost every day and stuff but we talk on the phone every night. so i was wondering should i ask him on the phone like tonight or wait till this weekend when i see him in person? and what would be a good way to do it? like when he says i love you, should i say something like .. i love you too, wanna make it official? or something like that? i wanna make it good but not complicated you kno? :]

hey!! omg i really like your idea... about saying it at the end of the phone conversation! it's deffinitely good and deffinitely not complicated... plus i think he will be surprised in a nice way. that way you guys can make it official and then spend the weekend together as an official couple and have fun, without you having to worry about how to ask him!! :) go for it, i really think he will love it if you ask him that way... it shows confidence and it's laid back, so he won't be freaked out by it! let me know how it goes if you want! :) good luck!

yesterday my boyfriend told me he was cheating on me which i was very upset about. i'm still with him and he is still cheating on me.he said he has been cheating on me for a year. i love him very much and he said he loved me too. but he said he wasn't going to leave the other girl and he said we could share him. i'm really thinking about breaking up with him. but i love him and i'm not sure what to do. should i break up with him or just keep our relationship still going? please help and thank you so much
:{ + ;]

hey!

omg, this is a terrible situation! first of all, i know you love him and i am sorry to say this, but this guy is a total jerk! he can say he loves you all he wants, but by deffinition, love means wanting to give your whole self to someone, and wanting all of them for yourself. if you truly love someone, they are all you need in this world to make you happy. do you want to be with someone that doesn't love you, lies and cheats and has no respect for you?

for a relationship to work, each person in the relationship needs to give... meaning each person has to put in the same amount of effort the other person is putting in. if you are the only one doing all the loving and caring, the relationship will never work. if you really do love him, will you really be ok with him beeing with another girl? if the answer is yes, then i don't think you truly LOVE him... if you loved him you would want him all to yourself!

it seems like he is walking all over you and you are letting him get away with too much. if you agree to this arrangement and allow him to have 2 girlfriends, he will believe that he has you completely whipped, and he will treat you badly in the future knowing that it won't make a difference because you will put up with it. if you want to be hurt really badly in the future and are willing to put up with more heart ache than you know what to do with, then i say go ahead and stay with him.

but remember that you can't have a relationship without trust... at this point you have no trust for him because of what he has been doing for the past year. so even if he agrees to only date you and forget the other girl, i still don't think you should get back with him. it seems that all he wants is the physical aspect of a relationship, and if he has no feelings but you do, then in the end he will win and you will lose.

if you have any respect for yourself and want to ensure that you are happy in the future, then you should run as far as you can from this guy and never talk to him again. staying in a "relationship" with him while he is running around with other girls will not only hurt you in the end, but it won't give you a chance to be single and go out and find a guy who will want to be ONLY with you! and trust me, i know you have a lot to offer, so any guy that has you should consider himself lucky and shouldn't feel the need to date anyone else! :)

sorry this is sooo long, but i got really heated haha. i hate seeing guys walk all over girls... it really does upset me, so i hope you really think about things before you make a decision! :) best of luck, and let me know if you need more help!

Hi, everyone. I'm a 15 year old male, and so is this girl I like. I honestly don't know why I am attracted to her. She is overweight, and that's just a turn off for me, like most other guys. But beside the few extra pounds (actually about 30), she's gorgeous. (or so I think) She had chestnut colored brown hair, and paleish skin in contrast. Her blue eyes are amazing. We sat next to eachother in biology all of last year, as the teacher never changed the seating arrangement. We talked a lot, and I'm very shy, so it was a change for me. She talked to me first, and from then on we became very good friends. She bought me a cake on my birthday & gave it to me in class. She laughs at everything, so I don't know if she thinks I'm funny, or not. But I love it. I love talking to her, I love her laugh, I love how random she is, how different, how uncaring of what people think. (dont get me wrong, shes not a geek or anything, shes in with all the right kids, shes just overweight). I couldn't tell if she liked me, but there's something about her that makes me want to be with her all the time. As I said, this would be awkward for me, because she is overweight, and my friends would definitely have fun teasing me/her over that. I don't know what to do, I asked her for her number & aim screename, so I have those now. Whenever I see her get online, I IM her. I told her when I was doing driving school so she could maybe sign up. I think I'm just confused on what to do. Why is it I'm so attracted to her? Should I tell her how I feel? What about my friends?

Hey!!

Wow, ok from the way you were talking about this girl in your question, you sound like you really liker her a lot!

When I was your age, what my friends thought and how other people looked was my number one concern too. But over the next few years, you will slowly realize that looks don't mean anything, and that other people's opinions are usually worthless.

You really like this girl... it's not all about looks. It's about her personality, it's about how she makes you feel when you are with her... and that's great! That's how great relationships are made. If you base a relationship solely on how the other person looks, the relationship will be over before you know it.

So what if she has a few extra pounds on her? Beautiful people come in all different sizes... I've seen some big girls that are much more beautiful than girls half their size. Say you start dating her... at some point down the road, maybe she will lose some weight. Or say you start dating a really skinny girl... at some point down the road she might gain weight. You never know with those things, and that is why they are not important. The way she looks will change, but who she is as a person and how she makes you feel will always be the same.

I know it's hard to put up with other people making fun of you for your choices, but you have to learn to do it or you will never be truly happy in life. Let people say what they want... they only do it to make themselves feel better anyway. Ignore them... after a while, they will grow up and stop doing it. They only do it to get a reaction out of you anyway... if you don't give them one, they won't have a reason to do it.

Today while I was at work I saw a midget... this woman was a little over 3 feel tall. Then I saw a man with both of his arms missing. Who cares though, they are people too. Sure they need a little extra care and attention so getting into a relationship with them might require a little more work and effort. Your girl... she a little overweight. So what? That won't make the relationship any harder, so why hesitate?

Sorry this is so long, but I hope it makes you realize a few things. If it doesn't, it will a few years down the road. But you asked for advice, so here it is: ask this girl out, or you might really regret it in the future. Don't let something superficial get in the way of something that will make you really happy! Let me know if you need more help! :)

My boyfriend and I were having sex. The condom wasn't lubricated and it was pretty dry. I just went to the bathroom and I was bleeding a little and it hurts. I think I've gotten like, a condom burn or it cut me or something. Is it anything to worry about? Will it heal? Or will it make me anymore lose?

ppplease help!!

Hey!!

Well, first of all, was this the first time you've had sex? If it is, then it is normal to have some bleeding because it might have "popped your cherry."

If not, then it is possible that the dry condom did irritate your vagina and caused some bleeding. Deffinitely go see a doctor if it continues to happen! And in the future, use lube because a dry condom is MUCH more likely to break because of friction... not to mention that it HURTS if it's dry! Lubricated condoms won't be enough... go to the store and buy some lubricant to put on the condom. You will find it in the section with the condoms... buy the one that says it is safe to use with condoms! That should deffinitely help! :)

P.S. When you are putting the lube on the condom, be careful not to scrape the tip of the bottle against it juuusstt in case! Let me know if you have any other questions!

okay well im only 14 but me and my boyfriend have been talking about having sex and i have him ova when my parents rnt home and i need birth control i dont wanna get pregnant and i know about planned parenthood but i dont know how im going to get it without my parents knowin plz help me

hey!

ok, you might not want to hear some of the things I have to say, but I will say them anyway because I actually want to HELP you, and not just give you answers you want to hear.

First of all, why do you want to hide this from your parents? You must think it's a big deal to have sex. Maybe you are embarassed to tell them. Maybe you are scared of how they will react? Whatever the reason, if you are not comfortable enough to talk about it and ask your parents to help you get on birth control, then you are not exactly ready to have sex. Now I don't want to preach and tell you what you can and can't do... I'm just telling you about the impression I am getting. I know plenty of people who had sex when they weren't ready, and they all really regret it... sex is a good thing, but when you are not ready for it, it feels ANYTHING but good.

Every time you have sex, whether you are using condoms or birth control pills, there is a chance that you will get pregnant. If you can't even tell your parents that you are going to be having sex and ask them for help, how will you ever be able to go up to them and tell them that you are pregnant if it happens?

Lastly, because you are under 18, your parents can find out that you are on birth control. Now I am not saying that they WILL find out, but they deffinitely can. I work at a pharmacy and there are strict privacy laws which don't allow us to give out information about our patients to anyone but the patient. However, if the patient is under 18 years old, their parents have full access to their records.

If you still think that you are ready and want to do it despite everything, you should talk to your parents about it. It will deffinitely make things easier because you won't have to hide things and be paranoid. Not only that, but in case you do become pregnant, it will be easier for you to talk to them about it. Good luck and let me know if you need more help! :)

Here's the backstory....Me and my husband's birthday's are 1 day apart. (July 3rd & 4th) We've only been married for 3 months...{He'll be turning 22 and I'll be turning 24} ok so here's my "prob" I want us to do something really cool for our birthdays but I cant think of anything. I know for a fact I dont want to do anything at home! Anyone have any idea's? Would like to spend no more than $100.00 for the 2 days. Thanks I'll rate ya bunches and drop ya some feedback!!~

hey! aww that's cute! haha ok anyway... hmm ok i'm thinking maybe on the third, you guys should go out to a nice restaurant for dinner and then rent a hotel room for the night... you don't even have to stay close to home, drive a few hours away to a big city or something... just as long as it's a little different than the typical stuff you do. See if you can get a hotel with a hot tub or jacuzzi, and maybe you can go to the room during the day without telling him and set up the place and make it romantic for later that night!

the next day you guys can go out to an amusement park for the day or something like that... just spend the day outside since the weather will be nice, and then go to a nice spot and watch the 4th of july fireworks! :)

i think all of that might cost a little more than a 100 dollars... but you don't have to do it all, just pick and choose! those are just some ideas... but have an awesome time and happy BDAY! :)

My boyfriend and I (well, ex) dated for about 2 years until back in January when I started to feel that the relationship we getting to be too serious (I was only 17...now 18). We were talking one night and figured out that we started to drift because we weren't ready for such a strong relationship. We loved each other (real love, not kiddish love) but just weren't ready. So we broke up.


After the break up, I found out that he cheated on me while we started drifting. I, of course, was furious at him. Now it's been about 5 months since I found out and we've started talking again. Not only that, but we both want to get back together. Im over the cheating.


My question is, even though I do still love him and want to be with him, how do I know that it won't end up like last time? How do I know that I won't get freaked out by the seriousness of the relationship? I mean, this is a guy I want to marry someday, as in after I finish college (i'm starting in the fall), not any time soon. But then again, I don't want to loose him.


Did that make any sense? If it did to you, then I'd really like some advice because I'm so confused.

OMG!!!!!!!

I was reading this question and I was seriously so confused because it felt like I had written it! I went through pretty much the EXACT same thing with my boyfriend. We dated for two years, then I broke up with him because it got too serious and I got scared. I cheated on him once during the relationship, and about 7 months after we broke up, he was completely over it and we started talking again. Now we have been back together for the past 3 months and everything is great.

Over the 7 month period I met other guys and saw how much less they had to offer than my bf... I also got over the whole "single scene" and decided that I am now ready to settle down and stay with him forever. The only difference between my situation and yours is that I took my 7 month break with him during my sophmore year of college (last year)... and you haven't started college yet. That may make it a little harder because things do change in college... but then again, I'm in college, and although things changed a little I still decided to be with him because I love him and can see myself marrying him.

My advice to you is to decide if you are really ready to settle down with him. Can you see yourself with just one guy forever, or do you feel that you are too young? It's different with different people... I have friends who can't make it past 4 months with a guy because they think it's too serious, and I know people that have been together for 7 years and are fine with it. Do you really miss him? Were the past 5 months empty and different? Do you want him back? Does he make you happy? If yes, then go ahead and get back together with him and don't stress too much. Time ties together everything that is meant to be! :)

well the ppl who i thought were my friends always go put and never bother to call me to ever go but then when they need a ride home they always seem to call me cause i can drive i cant stand it what should i do ? should i get new friends and let them know how i ffeel ....Ill rate!!!

Hey!!

Well, I'm sorry to hear about this, and I don't want to jump to conclusions but it is possible that they are using you. It is also possible that they are not doing it on purpose and don't even realize that they are doing it.

If you want to find out what is going on, you can do one of two things. First of all, you can sit down and talk to them and tell them how you feel. Don't accuse anyone or point fingers... be calm, and explain that you feel left out and used. If they understand and begin to call you and include you all the time, then your problem is fixed. If not, then forget about them and find new friends!

If you don't feel like talking to them, then just stop giving them rides. Tell them that gas is too expensive and you don't want to waste so much of it anymore (or if your parents pay for the gas, tell your friends that they won't let you waste as much anymore). If they keep calling you and want to hang out despite the fact that you can't drive them around, then they are true friends. If they disappear and you never hear from them again, it's their loss and your cue to forget them and find friends that will appreciate you!

Whatever you do, don't let them walk all over you... you don't deserve it! There are 250 million people in the United States... if a couple of them can't treat you right, you should have no problem at all finding new friends that will! :)

How do you use mousse?

I know you're probably thinking I'm the dumbest person on the face of the earth but seriously. I have no idea. I just bought it the other day, and I got the shampoo that matches it. Its Herbal Essences Dangerously straight- Pin Straight Mousse. The bottle says: shake me. foam me. work me through wet hair. blow-dry small sections with a "finger" diffuser and low hair dryer heat. hands off though.

So, can you help me out here. I'll rate high.
Thanks!

heeyy!!

haha ok you're not stupid, it can be confusing if you've never used it before, and the directions on the bottle don't help much either.

anyway, usually i use mousse to scrunch my hair, so i just spread it on my hair and scrunch as i blow dry. but since this is a straightening mousse, all you have to do is:

- flip your head over (facing the floor) and comb your wet/damp hair
- shake the bottle really well
- flip the bottle upside down (this is important... if you don't flip the bottle over, you will get all the air out of the can and not the actual mousse, and once all the air is out of the bottle, you have to throw it out because you won't be able to get the mousse out)
- squeeze out a good amount depending on the thickness and lenght of your hair (i fill up my hand because i have long thick hair)
- simply spread the mousse evenly all over your hair and work it in with your fingers by scrunching the hair a little bit. once you can't see any of the white mousse in your hair, go ahead and blow dry straight.

hope that helps! :)

I really like him alot. And just the other day his friend Andrew asked me if I would have sex with him. I mean I kind of do but I feel like if I say no he wont like me as much but if I say yes I`ll seem like a slut. What should I do

hey!

ok i am going to answer this question a little differently:

if you say yes:

- he will think you are easy (aka a slut)
- he will assume that you would do this with any other guy
- he might think you are dirty
- he could use you for sex and leave you

if you say no:

- you will look like you have self respect
- you will come off as having morals
- you won't look easy, and give off the vibe that a guy can treat you like a piece of meat
- you will know if he really likes you or just wants to use you for sex. if he "doesn't like you as much" because of that, then he is a LOSER that just wants sex and has no real interest in you... forget about him and move on.

basically, the choice is yours. your actions and decisions are what make others aware of who you are. you have to respect yourself if you want to be respected by others. :) let me know if you need more help!

Do you kow if there is a planned parenthood in Mass.? and generally howmuch is birth control??

hey! i googled it and it looks like there is a planned parenthood there... just go to google and type in "planned parenthood massachusetts" and click on one of the top links to find where it is located and all that stuff.

as far as the cost of birth control, it depends on 3 things. first of all, do you have health insurance? if you do, then the pills can cost you anywhere from 0 to as much as 40 dollars per month, depending on how much your insurance company will cover. it is also possible that your insurance doesn't cover birth control pills or you don't have health insurance... in that case, depending on the brand and where you buy them, they will cost you between 20 dollars per month to as much as 60. there are many generic brands and they are the cheaper ones, so if paying for them is a problem, let the doctor know that before he/she writes the prescription and they will write it for a cheaper brand. sometimes at planned parenthood you might even get them for free, depending on your financial situation! :)
