F/13 me and my sister was talking today and I told her I started my period to day. She told me she never started. (she is 16) Is that normal?

Yup, it's normal, don't worry. Some people just develop late. If she doesn't have her period by the age of 18, then no, that's not normal. Hope I helped :)

what is gyno? im so confused

A gyno which is short for a gynocologist is a doctor who deals with women's internal organs or sex organs. They also check your health "down there" to see if you don't have any diseases or if you are or aren't pregnant. That's basically what a gynocologist is. Hope I helped :)

I just got spacers about 4 hours ago. I felt just a pinch when I got them on but now they hurt so much I cannot bite down. On Jan. 12 I will be getting braces. I am wondering are they going to hurt more then the spacers, and how can I relieve the pain. Thanks in advance.

When you first get your braces, they are going to hurt because for the first few appointments, your orthodontist tightens the wires so your teeth move and it hurts. But after that, it doesn't.

i've had this cough for about a month long. at the beginning it was from a severe cold or something. but i've been around my sister a lot who smokes and i have asthma. could it be from second hand smoke getting into me? any ideas? i rate *HiGH*

It's probably from being around the smoke too much and getting into you.

What is the point in people fingering? I mean is it just for sexy feelings or what?

The point of fingering is to arouse a girl without having sex. Guys also finger a girl to "loosen" her up before they have sex so it's easier for him to go in. Hope I helped :)

Well you just have to talk to him and tell him how you feel. Tell him that if he wants to do stuff with you, he shouldn't leave right after. Hope I helped :)

Nope, there isn't a way to find out who has viewed your profile. Even if the Admin did do something like that, it would be too hard as in HTML wise I think. Hope I helped :)

i wanted to know if i should switch schools...cuz i have like 4 friends in my school now...n i dont wanna leave em...but i reli hate this school soo much..n its not like i am moving further away...id juss b switching schools...but idk what to do...cuz i love my 4 friends but lifes hectic in that skool n makes me wanna do serious stuff to myself...plz help me
-Jenn-

You should definitely switch schools if your school is doing this to you. Your friends should understand that if you don't leave, you don't know what will happen in your life. Yeah, your friends will try to convince you to stay but seriously, you should have to put up with everything that's effecting you. Hope I helped :)

ok so i was at a basketball game and i was standing behide my crush and i was with all my friends and these other guys. i was talking fine with all the guys i even met new guys(and im fine with them) but theres just something when im about to go and talk to him im just to scared to go and talk to him i get really nervous when im close to him. and the thing is he knows who i am but i really havnt talked to him.

Sweetie, you have to overcome your fear and just go up to him and start talking to him. If you can't think of a way to start up a conversation, compliment him on something. Start talking about the game. Everyone usually has this problem. Hope I helped :)

Ok.. I just wanna know if its uh.. normal. or feel way to overwelmed about sex. I know it ment to be pleasurable and stuff. But that fact of something going inside of me. Is wayy disgusting its like my fear.. kinda. I cant help the feel. and it pisses me off.
Im Bisexual and it even goes for finger or tampons i just get so grossed out. Is this normal??
will i get over it.

Hey, don't worry, it's normal. Everyone has a feeling about something. Some people overcome it and some don't. Yes, you may get over it but then again you may not if you don't take any chances. Tampons aren't that bad. Why don't you try them sometime when you're on your period? Hope I helped :)

i really really love this guy but hes might best friend. im not sure if he likes me so i dont want to tell him how i feel. what should i say?

If you don't want to actually go up to him and say "I love you", then give him hints that you do. Start flirting with him. Hang around with him more often. When you feel that you're ready, just tell him how you feel. You never know, he may like you back. Hope I helped :)

its been 8 months for me and my bf.. he said he would call yesterday before he left for outta town.. he never did.. now today he hasnt called yet.. and he is suppose to be in town like a hour ago..

Hey, don't worry, sometimes, guys do forget things and your boyfriend just forgot to call you. Maybe he's just doing other things and just forgot to call you? Why don't you try to call his cell (if he has one) and find out why he didn't call? Hope I helped :)

how do you make live journal icons

You have to download Paint Shop Pro 8 or 9 and then make them there. You can also go to the help forum in Buddy4u and there is a thread explaining everything on how to make a journal icon. Also, you can search for journal icons at AOL Hometown or Xanga. Hope I helped :)

ok ya*ll i have this big crisis i went out with this guy for a month and a half and it was the best time of my life but now all the sudden its over and then i found out a guy from another school likes me and i think i like him too but im not too sure b.c. deep down i still have tons of feelings for my ex and i have no idea what to do now b.c. i still feel empty without him and i would give anything to have him bak but then the other day i found out he liked me stil a lil bit too but then he started ignoring me and he dosent answer my calls and i think i like this guy from the other school too HeLp MEE!!!!~MaNdIE~

Well since you like this guy from another school and he likes you too, why don't you give him a chance. I think you should try to ignore your feelings about your ex-boyfriend because he started ignoring you. Hope I helped :)

Im extremely tan just because of where i live. Is anybody else like that? But my face isnt as dark as my arms and legs and stomach and ect. its like it fades when it gets to my neck/face.. is it because i have my hair down so its harder for the sun?

Yup, that may be the reason. Try to expose your neck/face more often. Put your hair up in a bun or in a ponytail. You could also try putting baby oil on you're neck/face so the sun will beat on that area stronger. Hope I helped :)

im 13.by the way.me & my boyfriend have been on and off since June. were back together now. weve been together for 3 month's. ive never madeout with a guy before. and it seems like thats what all guys want is to makeout and shit. he knows that i never madeout. i love him alot but i dont really like to be around him becuz i know he will want to makeout the whole time. what should i do. and also his so call "bestfriend meghan" says that he flirts with other girls and shit and they talk all the time and he goes to the movies with her . they almost went out one time before. i dont know what to do

Well if you don't want to makeout with him and he does, then break up with him. If his "bestfriend" said that he does flirt with other girls, then it's probably true because why would someone lie about that? Sweetie, some guys always want to makeout but there are those guys out there that don't want to. If you don't want to dump him, then talk to him and tell him that you don't want to makeout with him and ask him if the flirting thing is true. Hope I helped :)
