I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:

and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ Im 17 and this is really embarassing but, I havent had my period yet. I feel ashamed and worried that something is wrong ! Im a virgin, if that matters that much. Im so worried & i feel bad because I tell my friends I have it, and I even use pads hoping it will come. Whats wrong with me? I need to know what to do!
Wow.. uhm. If you think back to those pubeRty classes in fouRth, fifth, and sixth gRade.. they all suggest consulting a doctoR if by the age of 16 you have not yet began youR peRiod. HoweveR, theRe aRe exceptions to just about eveRything - what I've always been told is that active athletes noRmally staRt aRound theiR late teens. Now, I can't confiRm whetheR this is tRue oR not, but I have most definitely heaRd this. Also, genetics come into play. Talk to youR Mom oR sisteR about when they got theiR fiRst peRiod. You should *definitely* consult a guaRdian about this. And who's taking caRe of you? Don't youR paRents notice they neveR buy you the necesities? You said you weaR pads some days, which is definitely not a bad idea, wishful thinking and suspicsion neveR huRt anybody. All I can suggest to you is consulting a paRent and setting up an appointment with a doctoR. I hope eveRything woRks out foR you. Hopefully I've caused some Relief. =D

♥[?]♥ I love my b/f but i dont know if he loves me. because we are a secret to everyone because of his friends. what should i do?
Hmm... why on eaRth would he keep you secRet fRom his fRiends... hmm.. I can't even think of a good Reason foR that; peRhaps theRe isn't one. Keeping it a secRet fRom paRents... eh, okay.. I can see that... I've done that... and it's no big deal. But his fRiends... why -- something to give seRious thought to. HoweveR, I would say that if he's neglecting to even tell his best fRiends... he's obviously not as seRious about you as you aRe about him. PeRhaps even if I have misundeRstood and the pRoblem is that his fRiends don't want the woRd getting out foR some infantile, selfish Reason,then he's obviously not giving you the Respect you deseRve. AnotheR thing, you failed to mention how long you two have been dating -- does that come into play anywheRe? And have you talking to him about youR feelings -- go with THAT as youR game plan. If it seems like it's a haRd conveRsation to bRing up.. then simply don't think about it... just bluRt it out at the most Random time; at least, this always woRks foR me. Goodluck. Hope I helped.

♥[?]♥ is it normal to every so often not have your period for a month? i have never had sex and im 14 thanks..
Well it's may oR may NOT be a pRoblem. If you've had youR peRiod foR a while, then you shouyld alReady be familiaR with it's patteRn, if it has been this way fRom the beginning, and you get it about once eveRy 5 weeks, I would say you'Re fine, but if this is some Radical change, peRhaps THEN you should consult a physcian. In eitheR case, I wish you the best of luck!

♥[?]♥ 13/f. i've been getting so hungry lately, more than usual and i eat like three meals a day. idk why i've been getting really hungry even if i eat the daily 3 meals. it's not the time of my period or anything and this has been going on for about.. 2 weeks, maybe.

do you have any idea why i've been getting hungry, alot?
Anxiety? StRess plays a big paRt in ouR eating habits. PeRhaps theRe's a test you've been cRamming so haRd foR... oR a suspicious boyfRiend; something along those lines. I suggest you eat youR thRee meals a day, with a snack inbetween each majoR meal. If you go to school, I see how snacking can be difficult. If you don't get a bReak, simply eat a few cRackeRs befoRe the staRt of youR thiRd houR. Then snack when you get home. And be smaRt about youR snacks. TRy a yoguRt, an apple, a stRing cheese, a small bowl of ceReal. If in a coup[le of weeks you aRe still expeRiecing the same pRoblem, peRhaps you should tRy consulting youR physcian. I wouldn't panic about it Right off the bat; just wait to see if things get any betteR. Honestly, I pRobably didn't tell you anything that you don't know, oR haven't alReady been told, but I shoRe do hope I helped. Best of luck! Take caRe, and thanks foR the question. Know that I am heRe if you need anything else. =D

♥[?]♥ I want to know what is the best picture album out there? I've heard of picturetrail..and fotki..and stuff but I want a really good one!

♥[?]♥ There's a dance coming up at my school. My boyfriend is in a lower grade then me and he can't go. But My Mom is trying to get me to ask my best-guy friend to go with me. I dont Know If I should. Help please?
Definitely go! He's in a loweR gRade... that's something no one can change... that doesn't mean you should skip out on YOUR dance because of it. Just go with youR fRiend... you deseRve it! And if you say he's not a jealous fReak then theRe shouldn't be any pRoblem, Right?? And if he questions it... just ReassuRe him it's only one dance, and not a big deal. Enjoy youRself and live it up.... you only get so many school dances in youR life! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ My friend that i have known for a long time has just revealed to me that he is gay. I love him to death. What should i do ??
Go with the flow and accept it. That doesn't change the peRson he's is.... just changes the way you see him, and that's undeRstandable to a ceRtain degRee, but chances aRe he's felt that way foR a veRy long time, so if he's eveR changed you've pRobably neveR noticed, and if you have... you've accepted it, so just accept it.. it's no biggie. Best of wishes! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ My dog is a sweet Fullblooded boxer. The problem is she wont stop bitting my feet and when I walk she pulls on my pants.She is about 7 mounths, WHAT SHOULD I DO
GRab ahold of heR face by placing heR snout in the palm of youR hand, and simply swat heR nose with youR otheR hand and tell heR "No bite!" Don't oveRly huRt the pooR daRling, just be fiRm 'til she gets the point. This woRked with ouR chichihua. Goodluck -- hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ Hey i was justd wondering if anyone knows some good eyeshadow colors or techinque thats make lightish brown eyes stand out...I've been using a darkish brow with a dark gold over it..if anyone has any good colors that i cud use..that'd be great..-thanks
I have daRk bRown eyes, and daRk bRown haiR with tan skin. A lot of the time I pick my make up accoRding to my outfit, but not always. HoweveR, I go with a lot of light puRples, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white and A LOT of black eyelineR -- I find that Really appReciates bRown eyes. HeRe's a tip: to get youR eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, oR PetRoleum Jelly on fiRst, THEN apply the shadow. Also, theRe's this technique I do, called "Shadowing". It cReates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the coloR eyeshadow you wish to weaR, then using a bRistle bRush, dab a bit of gRay eyeshadoW oveR it!! It's goRgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as foR eyelineR... when it comes to liquid oR pencil, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... MOST people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. theRe's a chance that the liquid may Ruin. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd PREFER "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! Feel fRee to come back to me if you eveR need moRe suggestions. Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ alright well i like to make buddy icons for aim, and i use to have these animators [jasc. and coffeecup] but the free trials expired and i can't find any other animators similar to the way they fuctioned- i tried searching for some through search engines- and also my parents wont let me buy the actual product because it costs like $40 and i only use them for stuff on aim. so my question is do you know any animators that work similar to jasc. and coffeecup gif animators? -thank you so much if you can help me-
Hmm, the only site I know of is http://www.mytheme.com OR peRhaps you can go to http://www.google.com and seaRch undeR "fRee AiM icon makeR", oR something close to that. SoRRy I couldn't be of moRe help, but I do wish you the best of luck. Thanks so much foR the question! =D

♥[?]♥ what happened when a guy gets an erection? can he get one from making out?
Many guys get an eRection fRom just looking at a woman, oR just watching two individuals make out, so it should come as no suRpRise if I tell you that *tons* of guys get an eRection fRom making out, most definitely -- and if you ask me, that's hot! =D =D

♥[?]♥ What is the right age for a male to start getting erection and be able to burst?? I am thirteen years old but I still cant have any erection...But all of my friends (same age) say they can have erection...Some even say they have been having erection since they were 11 or 12?? Maybe this sounds gay but I have actually seen them having erection in the mall or in the school shower...Is this bad? I am so worry about it...Is it possible that I won't be able to have any erection throughout my whole life??
Is it "bad"?? Absolutely not -- theRe's nothing wRong with it. People develop on an individual basis. Not having had an eRection at 13 is *not* unheaRd of. HoweveR, I would say if you still haven't expeRience this by the time you'Re 15, which Really is a long way away, THEN you might want to seek a doctoR's opinion. 'Til then... don't sweat it. Goodluck! Hopefully I've helped.

♥[?]♥ theres a guyat school name mitch. A lot of people hate him. But when you get to know him he is really nice. He asked me out. what should i say? I need help!!!!!!!

♥[?]♥ i have hair (not a lot but it's noticable it you look closley) on my stomach, arms (on my arms i have a lot and it's brown), knuckles, and back. I'm a girl, is this normal?
It's most definitely "noRmal" to have body haiR - I don't know anyone who doesn't. If it bugs you tRemendously, shave youR knuckles completely, and if you'Re willing.. youR aRms won't look so thick with haiR if you gently, without even adding pRessuRe to it, Run a disposable RazoR acRoss them. Best of luck to you. Hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ im out of style and have no money what should i do??
Save some lunch money? Mow some lawns? TRy doing some extRa choRes aRound the house - peRhaps youR paRents will appReciate you eaRning youR money. Also, if you'Re old enough and have the time foR it, why not apply foR a job? I wish you the best of luck! Hope I helped!

♥[?]♥ Is it normal to shave a little bit below your belly button and bit above.. cuz i got the little hairs but they bother me
Is it noRmal??? Well it's definitely *not* abnoRmal. Many people have said to have little tummy haiRs aRound theiR belly button, and if it bugs you... it's youR body, so shave away! =D

♥[?]♥ What are some of those rubber bracelets. Like livestrong-yellow.. what are some others and where can i get them??
Well, I've always known the light blue ones to be woRn in honoR of childRen's canceR, and the light pink ones in honoR of bReast canceR. My cousins and I just staRted weaRing these bRacelets, because almost my entiRe family is canceR Ridden, many in the past, and many cuRRently. I weaR a yellow one -- I'm not shoRe if yellow is a ceRtain type of canceR oR just canceR altogetheR, but that is the coloR I have chosen to weaR. I know my cousin has a pink one that she puRchased at JouRney's, and anotheR cousin of mine got theiR's at a Nike stoRe. RumoR is they aRe haRd to come by now, whetheR that is tRue oR not.. I have no idea. I say to just shop aRound and see what luck bRings you. Goodluck! I hope I helped! =D

WhetheR he has a giRlfRiend oR not.... the only thing to do is to ask himself youRself - that's the only way you will honestly know how he feels. If you can't bRing youRself to ask him... how do the two of you stand a chance of holding a Relationship?? I wish you the best of luck! I Really do hope I helped! =D
