If it is you and your partners first time having sex ever, is it even possible for one of you to get an std from the partner? (link)
its just as likely as the 5th time.


Ok so I'm 16/f, and I feel really weird because most of my friends have done something, and I've barely even kissed.
Everyone I meet is always like 'how can you still be a virgin?' and it feels a bit uncomfortable.
The things is that I always hear older people say to keep it, that they regret doing it in the first place, but why? My friends dont seem to regret it. And almost no guy would go out with someone who's not sexually active. At least no guy I've come across thinks differently.
What should I do? (link)
why would you wanna do something about that? i mean, you feel uncomfortable about it, but all these guys your talking about--u say they only like girls who are sexually active, but you dont need those guys, because they make you feel uncomfortable about being a virgin. so, wait for the guy who respects that.


I want to save myself for my wedding night. Is this generaly considered weird? At school people think its really strange and generally make fun of me for it if it comes up in conversation at all. I mean, its not something I go aorund shouting, but if someone asks what I think about sex before marriage because I'm a Christian, I will tell the truth. My friends were amazed that I went out with a guy I was completely in love with for 9 months and didnt have sex with him.
Is it that strange? And is it possible to save yourself for marriage? I've heard that it gets harder to wait as you get older, and it wasn't easy in my last relationship. (link)
Take what you just said, and put it all together:Its what God wants you to do. Its strange,because everybody else seems to be doing it. but thats because the older you get, the harder it is. Still, i think you should stick with your virginity.


im so upset all my boyfriends friends think they can do what ever they want to me my boyfriend always hits me and i cant tell my parents or the cops my boyfriend said he will hit me till i cant walk anymore please someone give me advice (link)
your bf cant get away with this!!

your options: 1. get beat up all the time
2. tell your parents or the cops,
and have the beating stop.
yes, he may have said he would beat you until you cant walk anymore if you did that, but do you think that if the cops or your parent found out about this, that he would be able to get anywhere near you? tell somebody!!


So me and my bofriend haven't had sex and are both virgins. But we do have sex play. He's the first guy I've ever done anything with besides kissing. He's waaay more experienced than me and he says he's been close to having sex before. Which could mean he's made sexual contact with other people, and I'm guessing he probably has..he's been doing that for awhile..[before we started dating] I don't know how many girls he's been with or whatever. But..I want him to get tested. The problem is, I don't know how to ask him to do that or anything. Because I'm afraid if I do he'll think that I think he's like disease-infested or something. And I don't. But the truth of the matter is you don't have to have sex for STDS to spread and anything is possible I mean half the time people don't even know they have like a STD or whatever...soo...IDK how to talk to him about this. We can talk about other stuff like sex, pregnancy, or whatever. But if I asked him to do this I'd feel kinda mean or whatever...IDK what to do. What should I do?
ALSO--he's in the navy so they require urine tests...would STDS show up? (link)
well, he wont think that YOU think he has some disease. he'll feel good, because he knows that your concerned about him!!


I know FOR SURE that I have OCD, but my phsyciatric doctor only diagnosed me with anxiety. I take two medicines for it, but they don't help. I need OCD medication, but he hasn't diagnosed me with OCD. How can I prove to him that I really do have it? I was thinking that I could keep an OCD journal, and write down all the rituals and OCD things I do each day and show him, but I need other ideas. (link)
im pretty sure i have ocd. i havent told my parent about it, and for that matter, i havent told anybody. im almost over it, but i had the same problems for like, a year. now its just little stuff. so im not ocd that much any more. but, i know what it is, because ive read plenty about it. what are the syptoms?


I finished school early today and I went to meet my mum outside the school. As I was getting into the car, I noticed the most popular guy in school walk past and he goes "Thanks for last night! See you tomorrow"

I don't get it. What exactly did he mean by this? My mum said he was trying to make me laugh. I'm..err.. not so popular so I have no clue why he would talk to me. He blew me a kiss once when I was in the car with my mum too. He is a major flirt and does get a lot of girls so I'm not sure if it means anything.

What's going on here? Was this just a joke or did he have some hidden agenda?

thanks. (link)
haha thats funny........i see this all the time, my guy friends do it to me!! he's just joking and was wanting to get you in trouble because your mom was right there. its nothing big. hes just flirting, trying to get you to laugh, or embarrasing you. you say hes a big flirt? then hes just kidding.


every boyfriend iv ever had has beet me up.they have choked me,kicked me,punched me.chased me and jumped me,some of my guy friends have hit me with bats and the list gos on and on.i have NEVER had a boyfriend who hasent.there has to be somthing wrone with me because even some of my guy friends have beet me up. whats my problem that i always get beet up.13/f im currently single (link)
umm...this doesnt seem to likely!! but, you should try being sweet to them, dont pick on them, and dont talk about it or expect it to happen!!!!!!


my friend thinks she is a few days pregnant...she keeps punching her stomach because she does not want the baby. does this hurt the baby or cause her to have a miscarriage? (link)
tell her that punching wont help. shes gonna have a mental baby, but have her make sure shes pregnant first!! what kinda psycho punches themselves in the stomach for no reason??!! and this is her kid shes punching......nice....


I lost my virginity about 2 months ago
aand I've only had sex 4 times
but recently I've been using a dildo and it hurts and stuff, but I keep going anyway because I want the pain to go away.
But now I'm really red and I kind of hurt
"downthere"
Could I have an STD?
or is this normal? (link)
okay sorry about that.......kind of misunderstood the question earlier. so i decided to give you a better answer--okay, so, you said it hurts when you use a dildo, right? well maybe thats why its turning red. you cant get an std from the dildo unless it has the germs of someone who DID have and std on the dildo. or, maybe you have and std from someone you previously had sex with. but getting and std from the dildo is quite unlikely.


So I'm kind of .. "in love," i guess, with this boy, but he's ALOT older than I am.. well, not alot, but he's in his 20's and i'm in my middle teens, so. yea. But he seems so perfect, he's so sweet, we both love eachothers company & i am fully comfortable with him. We've gone all the way & he still wants me around as much as possible. But I don't know if his motives are what I've come to believe seeing as he's older. my parents don't want me seeing him, because of the age difference, but I always want to be with him & he seems to love my company even when we're just lying next to one another. Is this right, or is he bad news? (link)
Good/Bad news. Think about it: what NORMAL guy in his 20's wants to hang out with a girl your age??!! but, maybe hes different and your guys' relationship sounds fun. tell him to wait till your older, if he doesnt like that idea, then hes not ready to be in love with you. if he say okay, then your good!!


15/f

okies hey

i've met this guy in the year below me
well we hit it off right away and i really like him and it clear he likes me too , which im really thrilled about :) but the trouble is he is only 13 right now, he does look older though and is mature for his ages. he is just 1 year 3 months younger.

is this too young for me?

please help. xxx (link)
age isnt anything but a number
but maturity level matters, if hes up to your level, and you like him, DATE HIM!!


ok, so i am completely in love with this boy for the past 2.5 years. we are on a swim team together and that is the only time we see each other, so everyday. plus meets. these are some of the things he did. what is your opinion, does he like me? (hes really shy)

he stares into my eyes a lot

he layed his head on my lap, of all the girls that were there... but i was the closest cuz i sat next to him

in a game of sharks and minnows he went for me and grabbed me hard by the wrists and kept me underwater instead of forcing me up. then when i pushed off the bottom to get air he asked if i liked his tactics.

he blew on my face when we were lying next to each other at a swim meet

he sometimes "steals" my sunglasses, but not from my face, but he def. know there mine

we went to a dance once, but it was one of those "girls ask the guys". he said well go as friends, but we didnt know each other as well then, and it was a long time ago, but we danced with each other for practicly the whole dance, but he did go dance with this one girl that he went to homecoming with, and who he supposedly used to like... i dont know if he still does but he might

when we were lying next to each other, he moved hand was lying against my forhead on a pillow, then he said sorry i'm punching you in the face, and moved it down towards my nose so it was touching. than he probly felt me breathing on his hand, cuz he asked if his hand smelt good, and i smelled it, and almost kissed it (lol!) and he didnt move it away.


but otherwise we dont talk much, like we never had a conversation, but as i said he is really shy around me. but with other girls he is fine, but with the girl he supposedly might like he talks alot to her, but not as much as he used to. now there just friends. but she doesnt like him.



so ya based everything that i told you, does he like me? and how should i give him hints that i REALLY like him without scaring him?








(link)
sounds like somebody likes you!! just take it slow!!


I get really shy around a lot of people. I hate it, because when i'm around a guy I really like I get shy. How do I become less shy. I hate it!!! I really need help. I hardly talk to people cuz i'm sooo shy. Someone please help,
And guys please tell me how I can talk to guys and not sound like an idiot. Lol. Like what should I say? I don't want to come off too strong or like be too shy, please help. Thanks a bunch!! (link)
Just be confident, but not cocky, because that is the biggest turn-on for anybody!!


My mom won't let me date till I'm 18 whicu basically is never cause once I'm 18 I can date anyways so its never I want to tell her 13 is a good age but I'm too scared of a NO and I just need advice on how to tell her and what I should tell her like reasons point and ideas please help I do not want to get my first bf and 30 or my first kiss at 28 please help me...

(link)
Well im 13, so i know what you mean. She sounds a little overprotective, but then again you ARE 13, so you might wanna slow down. but my cousin is too overprotected, and she wanted to do stuff like date before i did. have you ever heard the saying, "you always want what you cant have"? well, just tell your mom first thing that you want to reason with her. dont diss her parenting skillz though, that will get you a NO right away. just say that you think you're ready, but if she still says no, then show her how responsible you can be, then ask again later.


im going to a new school this yearthis year. i've been in a catholic/private school since i was 3 years old. now i am going into eighth grade and im switching to a public school. i don't know what it will be like. i know a few kids there but i don't know if people will make fun of me since i new or whatever is going on. please help. i am 13 and f. (link)
Yes, that stuff could happen, but if you think about, the more its gonna happen. im going into 8th grade too!! Just be confident!! and did you know, (and i hear this and see it EVERYWHERE!!) confidence is the biggest turn-on to anybody, whether they know it or not. Just remember: CONFIDENT--NOT COCKY!!

peace & love, prep21


Hi. I am 14/f, going into 10th grade.

I'm 5'7 or so, and 113lbs, so I'm pretty skinny and tall.

Because I'm so tall, and alot of my friends and other people are shorter, I don't want to wear any shoes that make me even taller.

Can you give me some ideas on cute shoes that are flat or have a shorter heel? Also, I don't have that much money so the max. is $20/shoe...which makes it a lot more difficult for me to find shoes.

Also, do you think that if I wear shoes that are taller, people will notice or make comments?

Thanks. (link)
Well i usually dont shop at dilliards, but go there and get some ballet flats. they are really cute. and i always thought dilliards was like jc penny's, but its not!! they sell like dooney and bourke hanbags and totes!!


I'm tired of listening to the same things already.
I need new songs.
Genres: Techno; Indie; Electronica(the type that's mixed with like Indie or Rock).; Rock/Punk. Also I wouldn't mind girl bands. (link)

So I just got called in tomorrow for an interview at this really trendy store at the mall. They sell brands like DKNY, Guess et cetera.
What should I wear to my interview? I don't have any time to get my dress pants tailored but I guess I could get it done if I really needed to, but they don't wear dress pants to work and I know I should anyway btu I thought maybe a skirt would work. I have a peasant skirts that I could wear, I have them in black, white and blue. I know I shouldn't wear camisoles without anything on over but are sleeveless tops ok or no?
I also bought two pairs of ballet flat shoes. One is black and the other is a rusted golden colour so should I try to match?
I also want to look really in style and I have a wide belt that cinches my waist and it's black so that might go with the skirt.
I just got side bangs too and I don't know what to do with my hair. I can straighten it but should I let it loose or tie it into a ponytail or braid with a matching ribbon or is that too much? (link)
Knee-length skirt
2 bright colored cami's
