i'm 14 a guy and i am gay i've known for a couple of years now i haven't come out to anyone yet but i want to start looking for a boyfriend i'm not sure where to start i don't know anyone who is gay i feel lonely sometimes i want to find a boyfriend someone i can talk to and be in love how do i go about it? (link)
Feeling alone is totally normal, and you will find someone even if it seems hopeless now. Stick to your friends, and if you know they are open minded try coming out to your best friend or just one person, those types of secrets can really tear you apart.Maybe you do know people who are gay, they just haven't come out yet either, dont date the first guy who hits on you, actually wait until someone you have a legitimate interest in comes along. Know the difference between love and infatuation.Get to know them and practice light flirting and try not to come on too strong. Stay clear of internet dating, half the time those people aren't even real and they can be way meaner behind a screen. You sound like a nice guy, and Im sure someone will come along if yiy just be yourself and out yourself out there. Come out to those you trust,you never know what could happen. I am always here and always ready to talk.No judgement issued...Good Luck!!


I made a fake Kik account (Fake name, fake picture, fake age) and went on this Kik website thing because I thought it would be funny to mess with people on it. Well there was this one guy that said "Take a picture of your body or I will punish you". I obviously didn't and I just blocked him. Well I changed my password and everything so now the account is pretty much deleted. Well, can that guy track me down? I didn't tell him any information or anything like that but I'm scared that he can. Please help. (link)
Haha no he can't to my knowledge. I've had the same thing happen to me numerous times and they have no way if contacting you on that kik account if you block them, don't worry. People play weird games where you just scare people like that on there all the time, kind of like how you were trying to mess with people. Delete the account if your that worried. As long as you gave him no personal information you should be fine.


What are explicit photos (link)
Usually nudity or profanity based


OK how do I act like a tomboy n what would I do.how would I dress n do my hair.(I'm a girl) Because I really want to be this guy friend but I don't want to seem desperate like other girls. (link)
well, try not caking on the make up and be yourself. look nice, be neat and smell good. Be yourself abive all, guys love that.


So I am afraid to talk to a past friend cause of a misunderstanding of communication and who I am My past friend overreacted and was confused the the school, parents, and unwanted people were involved an punished me for doing the right thing Im extremely afraid the school getting involved causing more Bullshit again or her parents judging me before they even get to know me again do you think I should at least try to prove myself to them both and talk to her? (link)
It's alright, don't panic. You if it was really just a misunderstanding, this used to be friend will get that if you explain it calmly and rationally. Be the better person, and don't keep petty disagreements in mind all the time.


Hello everyone! I've got a very simple question: What are your favorite book(s)? If you don't have a favorite, what are some you really enjoy? (I need new things to read.) (link)
well light of truth!!!i was going to say ellen hopkins as well but now i may as well elaborrate on her types of books...she writesa in verse and the books can be very emotional but worth it. "tricked" is a good example but it canget a bit dirty. Another good series to start is "Cirque du freak" by darren shan. they are a bit long, but an amazing example of brilliant sci-fi vampire writing with a touch of destiny.Dont question the next one just read the eragon series by christiopher paloni. for an ultra emotional read thats quuick and painful read "the fault in our stars" by jonathan greene. Happy readiing!!!!:3


Im a 13 year old girl and im always so horny, is that normal? I really just want to have sex all time and with anyone, I just want to get my first time out of the way, is that weird? please don't think im weird or a slut because im not I just want to know if anyone's got any advice.... (link)
I think that is totally normal and part of growing up, do t rush your first time. You may feel ready but you aren't.this is all part of discovering who you are and your sexuality. I advise mastribating and that will initially help control it and is 100% healthy. Good luck!!!


Can anybody tell me what this phrase means? ''to put the answer phone on'' (link)
answering machine?


the Beatles have launched their music careers in the 1960s all the girls went crazy over them and made them their talk of their craze they became very popular among everyone even after breaking up in the early 1970s and never got back together becuase John Lennon died in 1980 and George Harrison died in 2001 but Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr are still around but in the late 1990s new boybands launched their careers and became popular the Backstreet Boys Nsync and 98 Degrees but they didint measure up to the Beatles then came the Jonas Brothers whos popular was only temporary and then Big Time Rush now One Direction who wont stay popular but people are still buying Beatles mercendise even some people younger then me like the Beatles is that confusing (link)
The Beatles started a movement and set the foundation for the summer of love. Pretty much all boy bands are temporary even in the hearts of teenage girls. At first the beatles set the "SAFE" image in that time of a boy that parents would like if their daughters came home with, and their music influenced many. After they stopped touring, and worked in studio, they turned more into a phycodelic hippie sort of group, and some of the fans followed but the parens stopped endorsing it so much. The difference between the beatles and all the other boy bands is the change they caused and not just messages of teenage love and shaking a their ass and yolo. They did a complete 360 from boy band to something new nd exciting and left an affect. People still endorse and buy the products because the music still lasts in todays culture. I would be beyon impressed on one direction did. The beatles legacy is popular.


my doctor prescribed me Zolaph for depression I have been on it for almost 3 months now and ever since I have been taking it and I have been taking it like it says on the bottle but I have been having really bad stomach cramps and been going to the bathroom a lot with the diarrhea lately ever since I have been on the new medicine are these side effects from Zolaph ? Do I need to be put on something else for my depression ? (link)
I have been on Zolaph for a year now it has made me gain weight and I have random crams a lot now,Thst is all, I am in no way a professional


I had someone it to me but dont know what it means (link)
They will take you as stone often used as a colorful and attracyive countertop........Try "GRANTED" it means to use you but not appreciate


First off, I apologize for the long question.

I am a thirteen-year-old girl, and everything is making me want to die. No, I guess I don't really want to die -- I just want the pain to end.

The main reason why I hate life is because I don't understand anything in school. And to make up for it, I work so much harder than any other kid would . . . but it's no use. I have a learning disability as well, which makes me work and process things slowly. I'm just SO SLOW AND STUPID! Ugh. (This makes things a lot harder for me than other people think.)

Several people hate me. I'm pretty sure my family hates me, to start with. Especially my dad. And I know all homophobic people must hate me because I am a girl who likes girls. But no one hates me as much as I hate myself.

I know some people might tell me to find a counselor or therapist. I already have two of those. But neither of them help me AT ALL. The first one just doesn't understand me, and he does a lot more talking than listening. And the second one treats me as if I'm doing something wrong by feeling this way. I have been self-harming for a while as well. But no one is helping.

I guess I don't have too many logical reasons to feel unhappy. Feeling like everyone hates me and not doing well in school do not count as reasons. But I'm just not strong like other people are. But what is the point of going on? Why don't I just die now so I don't have to suffer anymore? It's not like anyone would care . . . they all hate me.

I wish I could get help. But no one is going to help me. I feel so alone right now and just feel like dying. Right now, suicide is just a thought. I haven't acted on it yet.

Is there anything that can be done to make things better? I don't know what to do anymore or how to go on. But I will appreciate any advice. Thank you. And sorry for the length. (link)
The last guys was so right.Just talk it out, dont stop beleiving in youself.I get it.Dont let go.


How do bulimics make themselves throw up? And what do they do to make it easier? Whats the risks of being bulimic? Im doing a project on bulimia so please say everything you mow :) thanks (link)
Ok, I seriously hope you arent just going to use this information to become bulimic...I am 3 months clean of bulimia and its painful and generally unpleasant.its a form of ocd, and has a lot to do with self esteem.Fingers are not always used to trigger the gag reflex, I never was able to do that. I tended to use a pecil, knitting needle,straw, chopstick, something like that. Bulimics who use fingers often develope calluses on their knuckles by always rubbing on teeth, these can be quite noticable and painful. Bulimics teeth are often corroded and it messes with your heart, mine arent because I brushed during and after.People who suffer from this actual desease often disapear after meals, They may return quiet or with tears in their eyes due to the pain and force of throwing up.Some even soil themselves during.You may notice the bulimic eating less and soft foods that taste good disapearing after they have been alone, bulimics will binge then purge immediatly afterwards.Weight may drop dangerously fast and you may notice drains being clogged.Most purge into a toilet, but some do so in the shower so its much cleaner but it may clog shower drains and an acidic smell may mervade their bedrooms.Contrary to popular beleif, boys can be just as bulimic as girls.Any sufferer must get help before permanent damage is done, this is irreversable.Bulimics may show signs of depression and could have anorexia and or self harming issues.If you have anymore questions inbox me.Good luvk on your paper!


This kid in one of my classes overheard that I wanted to kill myself (I wouldn't really do it, I was just mad and told my friend that) and the kid told my teacher. The school called my parents and told them... My parents want to talk about it, and I think my teacher is going to talk to me about it tomorrow but I've just been ignoring them and avoiding it. I don't want to show them my cuts or anything so yeah... What should I do? Just keep avoiding it? I don't want 'help' because I'm slowly getting better on my own and I don't want to talk about it. (link)
Im sorry about all of that.I had the scholl gymk teacher notice my sself harm scars and cuts and tell my parents,even though they already knew.It sounds like you do want to talk about it, otherwise why even ask about it?Step one.Im just about clean now and i cut for 3 years severly, so why cant you?Try varius things like the butterfly project.Talk.I am always here,inbox me whenever.You need help.I did,it took a lot of amazing friends and therapy.You are not alone.I dont care what they say, talk to them.tell them what actually is going through your head,they may scream or cry, but thats block one of the road to recovery.Im sorry if i 'helped'.You say you dont ewant it...but do not kill yourself and try not to use phrases like that in everyday converstaions people can take it a bit too serously.Obviously.Good luck and fair winds to you,im always here.


Do you think 80 tylenol and say about 20 robax and some anti-deppressants will do the job for me? (link)

I can't take acetaminophen and when I get my period I get severe cramps to the point I feel I'm going to be sick and or pass out. Because of my allergy I can't take midol or any of that. I take ibprofen but it doesn't help. Are there any other remedys that could help me? (link)
try taking a long hot bath and or having a glass of tea with ginger in it.Ginger root helps with cramps a lot

(link)

my mother is going to jail for six months for forgery related charges. I am handling the situation fine because she will be back and her visit to jail might make her go easier on me now. Even though it is only six months, My dad asked if I want to visit her sometime because he said she would appreciate a visit and it could be interesting and an "educational experience" (What does that mean? Please give your opinion on that)




also, my dad said I still have to listen to my mother when she gets out. I don't understand how he can do this. I mean like I said I don't hate my mom or anything and had a good relationship with her but now that she is a criminal, her telling what to do might be hypocritical




I have no problem with my mother and other than this misdeed she was a good mother but I don't know if I should subject myself to go into a jail just to see her for a while. Does anyone know what it is like there and how the visiting works? I am a 14 year old girl by the way. Also, what can we talk about in the short time we probably have? (link)
I have no experience in th is feild,dont let it change anythiiing.talk about school?i have no clue good luck visit her to show t=you care


i am 14 male and i'm gay i have known since i was 9
i haven't come out yet and well i really like this guy he's 14 we hang out a lot we are really close i'm not sure of he's gay but he seems to like me i am nervous about talking to him i would like to know
if he likes me as i like him how do i go about finding out if he's gay? how do i talk to him about my feelings? (link)
Hey i feel you...Coming out can be hard,and there is no hurry.Kids can be so mean,I dont even know why.Even if he isnt,you can tell him.I have a huge crush on a straight girl,and I came out to her and told her.Of course she is not attracteeed,but I needeed closure.You will find someone.First see if he is popen minded,dont coome out to a bigot,they will react strooongly and negativly.Tell soomeone you ttrust all the way,it is so nice to know.Start put just talking i guess,it can be nervrackingg.please dont be a fool,just ask.dont rush.Im wsorry it took me so long to answer,and i wish you the best of luck and I hope you find the love you deserveFair Winds!-j
