advice

is it true that if you make a wish at 11:11 it'll "come true" or something? just wondering because i don't know what it means

It's just like wishing on a star.
It USUALLY doesn't happen-I mean, it might-but usually it's just a coincidence.


Hope I helped :)

long story short -

i spoke to this guy on friday and spoke to him for a whole week. we made out on saturday (last night) he doesnt want a relationship, but i do. i'm sick and tired of hearing about guys breaking girl's hearts. how can i draw him into me? and play hard to get, but not too hard because i already tried that and it's sooo hard, i can't draw away from him that much without making him think i'm not interested (which might him go away and i don't want that) i know the age difference is a lot, but i know this can work. it's possible. i know it. i'm 14/f, he just turned 17. come on guys don't doubt me! any tips at all?
i really liked how those 4 girls in just tucker must die broke his heart. but i can't do the things they did, because this is a different case. please help!

Hey,

Well basically, I think you want to play hard to get so you can be in a relationship with this kid..?

If he doesn't want a decision, unfortunately, you cannot change it. It's his decision. :(

I'm not doubting that this can work due to the age difference, I'm doubting it because he doesn't want a relationship.

Maybe just Friends with benefits?

You'll find someone, don't worry, you're only 14!

Hope I helped, Good luck!

My boyfriend went to a party and did body shots with another girl. This was the first time he drank any alcohol, and he got really drunk and said he would'nt have done it otherwise. He was the one who told me as soon as it happened. Should I be mad at him or should I forgive him?

Hey,

Well, since he was drunk and wasn't thinking right, then you could forgive him. I would. But just warn him that if he does it again, then it's over between you two.

As long as he told you, you're fine-he seems like an honest kid. :)

Hope I Helped!

This year has been rough.
I gave up on my best friend after saving her
life for the third time due to her heavy
drinking, I couldn't handle protecting her like
I did anymore. She was my very best friend,
moving on hurt so bad.

My boyfriend that I love cheated on
me, so of course we broke up. His new girlfriend
happens to be the girl he knew I hated more
then anything.

My great friend, Michael stepped in.
He became my big brother, my support system.
He was the only one that got me through losing
everyone. Well, he started to like me. Once I
told him I wasn't up for that after everyone
broke my trust, he left too.

Now I have nothing.
I'm alone all the time, I have other
friends but none of them come close to
those three. How do I step back up and
get on with life?
I used to be so outgoing and full of
life, I always had plans and people who
loved me. Now, No ones here.

What can I do?

Omg I am soo sorry.

If those other friends seem trustworthy enough, start talking to them more. You never know how perfect something could end up unless you try it!

If even THEY don't seem like people you can trust, try talking to another group of people. Again, you never know how something could turn out 'til you try it!

Another option is talking to Michael again. Explain and say sorry for not going out with him-he should understand.

My last option is try joining a sport, or a club--you'll meet new people this way-try to get close to them, too.


My best advice is, keep your head high sweetie-everything will be OK.

If you need anything, then just leave me a message in my Inbox and I'll GLADLY help!

My heart goes out to you,
Hope this helps

Sincerely, Jamie

i got my belly button pierced almost a month ago. ive been washing it when im in the shower but i feel i should do more. any advice on how to keep it clean?

Hey,

If you're fine and it's not infected, just keep up what you're doing! - Make sure your soap has Triclosan.

If you want it to heal faster, dissolve half a teaspoon of sea-salt or table-salt in a quarter of a cup of boiling water. Let this cool a little, then place in a clean glass or medicine cup and lie down with it upturned on your navel for 10-15 minutes, once or twice a day. You can also use Saline solution (available at any chemist). Rinse with fresh fresh water and dry throroughly with a clean tissue afterwards.


Hey-now I have a question for you, lol.
I'm thinkin' of getting mine done...did it hurt?

The one I have currently was given to me by a friend, and it's getting dull so I need to buy a new one but I have no idea which brand I should get. Note, I'm a female and I shave my leg hair and armpit hair. Are there any razors that are suitable for both?

Thanks!

Shick Quatro

I use it for leg, armpit, and arm hair, and it works fabulously for everything. I've been using the same blade since the day I got it (which was almost a month ago [I normally have to change it every 3 uses])

Hope I helped!

15/f

Hi, I am going to list a few facts about me in hopes that someone can list a few careers that interest me. My school career counsellor has a personal issue with me because my mom fired her daughter, so I am not comfortable with working with her.

- I am a grade ten
- I have a 4.0 GPA
- I excell in all of my courses
- I would like a job that has variety and is somewhat challenging
- Have considered being everything from a Kindergarten Teacher (to work with children) to an architect (to get rich - but I am not sure if I would like to work that many hours)
- I am good with people
- I am equally strong in math/science as english/socials
- I am interested and 'have an eye for' photography
- I love working on a team or with children
- I can be bossy and controlling
- I am a natural leader

Are there any careers or areas I would be best suited for?

Thanks! You may change my future. =)

Hey,

~Maybe a teacher?
~Maybe a lawyer?
~Maybe a doctor/pediatrician?
~Maybe a professional photographer?

I think being a doctor would be your best bet, since you love working on a team (your fellow doctors), you can be a bit bossy/controlling (you can tell your patients, nurses, and secretaries what to do), and you excell in math/science.

Best of luck to you & hope I helped :)

Ok so im 12/f and so is my bff. Well she was recently at a Jewish sleepover camp over the weekend (Jan 12-14) and when she got back she called me up and told me some really crazy news. She said that she met this guy there and they started making out and he ended up sleeping in her bed w/ her. Now we are 12 and in 6th grade. Are town does not take things like that calmly. she obviously hasnt told her parents or anyone but her friends. i was just thinking it sounds so fake but my friend would not lie like that to me. besides there is no reason to its not like any of us had done anything like that to make her feel like she had to make it up. I'm starting to wonder if she made it up, which would make me mad, but then again i'd rather have had her make it up bcuz no i think shes a slut. Any advise on how u think i should handle it? was it slutty or am i just over being paranoid?
thanks in advance

Hey,

I think you should try not to think about it.

If she brings it up over and over again, chances are she's lying, or she's really happy about the whole thing.

No, she's not a slut, as long as they did nothing but kiss.

Make sure she knows that she should watch what she does, because if there's another one of these Jewish sleepover camps, you don't want her to do anything more than what she did. I mean, she's 12 years old, she's still a kid herself-she doesn't want to have kids, right?

You're not paranoid, hun, your just being a good friend!

Hope I helped & hope all goes well,

K well my friend said that she was talking to my boyfriend and he said that he was planning on kissing me soon. Me and him have talked about it and i told him that i really want to but i am just scared. I have never kissed anyone before and so i am like really nervous but i know that i want him to be my first kiss. i am just scared that i will do something weird or something like that. does anyone have any... umm tips/advice for me? and also, should i wear lipgloss or chapstick or just nothing? or what? cause im afraid lipgloss would make my lips too gooey! and if i didnt have anything on then i dont want my lips to be all chappy or anything! so any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Hey,

Aww :) How sweet.

A first kiss should always be done while the two of you are alone...just so neither of you are embarrassed or anything.

Start with a small kiss, work into a French Kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip...

As for what you should have on your lips: just lick them-anything else would make for a gooey, sloppy kiss-Ick!

Also, make sure your breath doesn't smell. Mints are better than gum before the kiss!

Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.

Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.
Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.

Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.

It'll help :)

Have fun!

i'm really lazy and i can never get off the computer and go work out or do push ups or sits ups...any ideas to help?
also, i have no idea what foods are right and arent right for a good diet. can you guys please write one out for me? im 5'10, and 170 lbs. i'd like to be 150 and have a nice flat stomach. (how long will this take?) (also, i need work outs for my stomach so i can have a flat stomach/6 pack.) i have the ab lounge, what can i do on that?

Hey,
I'm basically in the same predicament.
I'm always on the computer and never want to get off.

You have to be the one to control your mind, don't let it control you.

Use your ab lounge, those work fantastically.

Then, run...this will help a lot.

As far as food goes, just try to stay away from the high fat and sugar content, and you should be fine.

If you are going to exercise, be sure to get a lot of carbs (which give you energy) into your diet.

ALWAYS EAT BREAKFAST! Contrary to popular belief, eating breakfast does NOT help you lose weight.

Hope I helped and I wish you the best of luck!

Ok well valentines day is coming up and my boyfriend already has a gift for me. I dont know what it is but my friends do and it is supposed to be extremely cute! But the thing is, i am not exactly sure what to get him... guys are so complicated to find presents for! does anyone have any ideas of what i should get? (we have been together for about 2 mo) thank you so much!

Hey,
-DEFINITELY bake him something, like a chocolate chip cookie heart. What guy doesn't like food?

& As for buying something,
What does he like?
*Does he like sports? If so, get him something sports orientated.
*Does he like music? Buy him an Itunes giftcard
..etc, etc.

Hope I Helped!

Ok so.. my boobs have gotten smaller. It sucks. I've always been thin. I'm about 5'6 105 lbs., or something around there. I don't think i really lost any weight though, and nothing else seems to have gotten smaller. I also don't get my periods regularly. I got the first one about 3 1/2 years ago, so they should be regular by now. They skip months and always come at different times of the month. I just finished a period, but it had been the first one in a few months. I'm thinking maybe this has something to with my boobs shrinking? Help! Anyone know what's going on. I want my boobs back.

Hey,
You have to go to a gyno...I don't want you to be misdiagnosed, none of us on here are doctors, unfortunately..

Hope I helped !!

Wooo...here we go. Oh boy. This is so upsetting. I was in a best-friend kind of relationship with a guy for the past 7 months. We were EXTREMELY close, up until today. And I'm just so confused with what's going on. I'm 15 and he's 17. We were very personal with each other, being able to tell secrets, share feelings, console each other in times of trouble, care a lot for eachother, and we shared a lot of interests too. About 4 months ago, he started telling me that he loved me. I, of course, was very excited, thinking that he really DOES love me. So I began to get very clingy to him, flirting and being very sweet because I really DID love him. He would tell me how beautiful I am, and how he wanted to see me all the time and how he wanted to play with my hair and that my eyes were so beautiful and when he sees me the next time, he will give me his whole music collection and we will snuggle to the music of a record player and he will kiss me on the forehead and tell me how much he loves me. He teased me a lot too. But for the past 4 months, I've been noticing that he's been saying similar things to OTHER girls! I was outraged and so full of jealousy. He said the EXACT same thing to them! "Oh you know you're the only one for me ";)""....That was the last straw. Whenever he is on MSN, there are other girls online and he completely ignores me and chats with them! And when we're in a group convo with our friends (who are like 16 - 18) he flirts around with them! But then after, he tells me that I'm the ONLY one he loves and "you should know that by now, cutie, hehe *kiss*". Well, finally getting to the point, today, on MSN...he told me that he thinks that it won't work out! He says that "I'm not the one you want" and "you will be able to find other guys". I don't know what to do, guys...I really don't. Looks to me like he's been leading me on...and then, when I opened my heart out to him, he broke it. ;_;...what should I do? I still love him, but he just says "But we'll always be friends". I just...don't know if I can trust him anymore...*sigh*. ;_____;

Hey,

Aww, I'm sorry to hear about that.
He seems like a real jerk, & you deserve better.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is give him up.
You WILL find better, so keep your head high, sweetie!

However, be careful to who you open your heart up to..you don't want this to happen again.


I hope this helps- and I really do hope everything goes well.

like a part of my armpit has been hurting for 2 days now! its happened before.. but it hurts when its touched or if my arms push my armpit or something.. and i never knew why this happened! help! 13/f

Hey,

Do you shave your pits? If you do, then it could be because you didn't use enough shaving cream or your skin is irritated. (That happened to me)

If this isn't the case, go see your doctor, just in case something's wrong. You don't want it to get out of hand!

I like Firefox much better than IE but when ever I click a link it opens in IE. How can I change it to open in Firefox instead while having both installed on my computer?

Hey,
Before the page loads, it should say something like "Would you like to make Firefox your default browser?"

Click yes.

If this doesn't come up, then I'm not so sure.

Enjoy Firefox & Hope I helped!

so, my boyfriend of about 3 months, his b day is coming up. Any ideas on what to get him? Thats not too much, but not too little.


Thanksss

Hey,

Since it's only been 3 months, try something simple...cologne and a t-shirt. Also, since it's near Valentine's Day, get him something that has like hearts on it.

Hope I helped. Good Luck
