Hey people i was wondering could everyone tell me what they think of a 15 year old going out with a 13 year old girl?

tell me ur honest opinions please (link)
What's wrong with that? I see nothing - absolutely nothing - wrong with that. Seriously. I'm a freshman and my boyfriend is a junior; that's two years. If you believe that the thirteen year old girl is a suitable companion for you, GO FOR IT! I don't think that anyone should say that it is wrong for you to date a 13 year old girl just because she is 13. Every one of us was 13 (some more recently than others), so who are we to say that she is not suitable for you? I don't know the girl, I don't know you. Perhaps you've found your life companion right there. If so, I congratulate you. :-) Every person is different with different likes and different maturity levels. I have a higher maturity level than most girls my age, but that comes from being the "outcast" in the "nosebleed" section all the time. It comes from ridicule and pain, from being forced to sit with those who are older than I am and pretending to like it. Because of these things, I'm more mature than other freshmen. Perhaps this girl is the same way? Perhaps she has the same maturity level, or slightly below yours? See, I don't know. All I can say is if you're happy with her, and she with you, stay with her. Don't let anyone say that it's wrong for YOU to go out with HER because some freak guy doesn't like it. He isn't dating her, YOU are. Do what is right for you.

Rissa,


A gynegologist appointment? Or a "normal" doctors appointment? You're a bit young for a gynecologist visit, but I suppose it's up to your mother.


Because you're still young, your body hasn't regulated your periods yet. Don't worry, this is perfectly NORMAL. You might not have a period every single month on the same day for a month or more. It's absolutely natural for your body NOT to have REGULAR periods. Even though your mom doesn't believe it, it is ABSOLUTELY true. http://www.coolnurse.com/menstrual.htm


Tell the doctor that you didn't have a period this month, but tell them the last month you REMEMBER having one. If you can't remember that, just tell them you can't remember. Some girls find it helpful to mark the date they begin and end their periods until their body becomes regular so they will know when to watch for it and are not caught unprepared.

what does activism mean? tell me right and ill rate a 5 (link)

The use of direct, often confrontational action, such as a demonstration or strike, in opposition to or support of a cause.

Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of a controversial argument.

In contemporary use, "activism" tends to be a word associated with the actions and ideologies of those on the political left. However, activism can stem from any number of political orientations. An activist may be called a freedom fighter by some, and a terrorist by others, depending on which side of the political fence is making the observation.

Is she punk or GOTHIC? I mean I know the difference, Im goth but She always changes. What is she for real?
ill rate 5's to good answers (link)
For real? You mean FOR REAL for real? Well, for real, I think she's a crazy girl. She wears what she likes, a cross between punk and pop-culture. Definitely not gothic, for as russianspy said, she wears too much white. She's somewhere between punk and pop culture. If that makes sense? I think it's more pop culture because she changes so much.

Ok so i heard that you stop your period as soon as your like at the age of 50. Is that true? And at what age should you stop having your period? (link)
Not always at 50. Yes, your body DOES stop ovulating (producing eggs) and you become infertile. Around the ages of 50-60, you're really not looking to have a baby anyway, so it doesn't matter. Some women will stop having periods younger, some older. Some women have periods VERY rarely (like twice a year). It depends on each woman and her family background. Don't worry about it though, your time will come. There isn't a "right" time to stop or a "wrong" time to stop. Each woman's body is different. If you're really worried about it, try Googling it.

At restaurants - what is the accepted etiquette/percentage for tipping someone who you have an outside friendship with? (link)
Well, don't let your friends mooch off of you. They DO have a job and if they do their job well, then I'd tip them well. The most commonly accepted tip percentage is 15% of your total meal price; though if they do a really good job, you can up that some (perhaps 20%-25%?). Though, if the job is done poorly, tip only the average amount. Don't make a big fuss about it, you don't want to seem as if you were showing favoritism.

Im starting High School in 10 days. Im excited/nervous but whatever. Does anybody know any school supplies that will be needed? Or could anybody recommend school supplies i should have? Except for pens,notebooks and a backpack because i already have those things? (link)
Well... the stuff you said and :


- Something to take notes in, a different one for each class to keep your notes organized.
- Folder/binders to keep you organized.
- Pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- A Bible (and I'm serious)
- "girl stuff" in case you're caught unprepared.
- Chapstick
- A little extra money
- Calculator
- Ruler


Where I live there's a list of supplies for each class for each school available. Check that also to make sure you have everything. Consult parents/friends to see if you forgot anything. It might be a good idea to bring a jacket on the first day because it might be cold in your school.

I dont want to sound like a jackass or anything, but why do most women (most being the ones that ive talked to on the subject taht are in HS or graduated around the 17-21 age range) not like birth control. Now it seems to me that birthcontrol isnt to bad at all, and that these women dont understand that seriousness of having a baby. Can someone pleas like to explain why someone would rather risk getting pregnant and having an unplanned baby or having an abortion, instead of takin a pill that would save you from alot of trouble.

Sorry about the length, but its a serious subject, 18-m (link)
Well, some women may not like the Pill because it is a hassle to take everyday if you're not used to taking a pill every single day. Some women, myself included, don't like the Pill because it is a oral contraceptive. That means it is an abortion that you take by mouth. When a women is raped, and goes to the hospital for a check over and such, she is offered one of these pills - to abort the pregnancy from the earliest stage. I strongly believe that abortion is murder, and a contraceptive aborts the pregnancy, thus being an abortion, thus being murder. Some women, myself also included, believe that if you don't want a baby, don't have sex.


There are other side effects that go along with the Pill that some women don't want to deal with, some don't like taking a pill everyday - plus it screws with your hormones which isn't fun - and some women don't like it because it is an oral abortion. Take your pick which.


There are, of course, other reasons, that vary from woman to woman. But I'm pretty sure this should answer your question basically.

I want to learn how to ballroom dance! :) i've always thought it was the coolest thing.. is there like an online thingy that can show me steps and such so i can learn it? thanks! (link)
Try this : http://www.learntodance.com/online-dance-lessons.htm


I didn't look at all of the clips, but the swing dancing clip (swing is my absolute fave!) is east coast swing. There isn't anything WRONG with that. But I prefer west coast swing. The steps are different is all. :-) Of course, if you can find cheap lessons (real lessons, not online), it's well worth investing in if you're really interested. I take lessons for $20 a month, but that's with my homeschool group. You'll have to work hard, but it's worth it. :-)

is this wrong: that playing the guitar is hazartize to your fingers cause of arthrituos? Im not sure. Sorry for the dumb question
ill rate 5 (link)
Uh, I don't think so. Make your fingers STRONGER maybe, but not cause authritus. I don't think you can really do anything except really wear your fingers out, at most strain them or cause carpal tunnel, and that's if you play like 8 hours every day straight. Not likely.

does anyone know the song that goes:
why'd you have to be so cute?
is it possible to ignore you?

i tried looking for it online but can't find the name of it or who sings it. i rate 5's (link)
This is all I can find :


It's called 'Goodnight And Go' by Imogen Heap. The lyrics :


Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner cafe
And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time

Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone...

One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here, I'll sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience
we'd be good, we'd be great together.

Say goodnight and go,
why's it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go


Sorry if this isn't what you were looking for.

i know this is a weird question but i really want to start using a tampon. i cant seem to find where on my vagina it goes into though, i dont know which hole. and everywhre i try it only goes in just a tiny bit. any adivce on how to find it? and how to insert it? (link)
This website will help you :


http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/tampon.html


Try and be relaxed. I know it sounds gross and icky, but if you still can't "find it," use a mirror. Also, inside of every box of tampons, there is a pamphlet that tells you about tampons, TSS (which is NOT caused by the use of a tampon), and how to insert a tampon. Armed with this information, you should be completely equipped to use a tampon. It can be scary your first time, but try and relax, relax, relax. It doesn't hurt, you won't even feel the tampon - which is nice. :-) Good luck.

I am 13/f and am in the 8th grade. Im not really skinny but medium. I have never been asked out by a guy and I dont really want a bf but I want to be liked. I play sports and am kind uf tomboyish. Also usually I panick if I find out I guy just likes me a little and say something mean. How should I handle a guy that like me w/o bursting on him, is it bad ive never had a bf or been asked out, and should I be more girlish? (link)
Definitely not, girl! BE YOURSELF!! No one is stoppin' me! Now it's "cool" to wear boyshorts and Converses, but I was wearing that before it was "cool" - seriously. And I'm not stopping either. I don't follow trends. Don't worry though, cause' I've only had one boyfriend and we're still together, and I'm a freshman. I love my boyfriend, and he's the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I don't think you should waste your time on boys you couldn't see yourself getting married to, or wouldn't want to be married to. If you say "Would I marry him? Do I know enough about him to make an educated guess to see if I'd want to spend the rest of my life with him?" before you say "Yes" or "No" to a date with a guy, you'll save yourself alot of heartbreak and pain. Yes, there's a VERY good chance your heart will still be broken, and you'll know pain, but it is less of a chance.


I'm tomboyish too. The most pink I own is on a black shirt that says "I hate pink shirts!" lol. I wear boyshorts and boypants, I shop in the guys department more than I do the girls sometimes. I am an equestirian. Though it's been too hot to ride lately, I still "play" with my horses every day. I love to swim (just not on a team... or in front of people...) and I love to run in the rain. I do 200 crunches / 100 push ups daily, with the exception of Sunday. (I only do half of that on Sunday) I'm not really into basketball/baseball/football, but some girls are. Don't change for a guy. There'll be a guy who will absolutely fall HEAD OVER HEELS for you. And you'll be like, "OH MY GOSH! I can't believe there is actually a guy who likes me that much!" You'll be beside yourself, almost giddy. And you'll LOVE it!


Dude, I freak out when a guy likes me too! (almost always) There was this guy who liked me a long time ago (like in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades) but I didn't see him until recently. He was acting really flirty and it was making me SO ANGRY! I don't like it when a guy acts like that! He was blowing in my ear and on my neck, and playing with my hair - EW! Now, it'd be different if a guy that I liked did that, but I DO NOT like him. At all. He was so irritating. And what's worse is my boyfriend was there part of the time. Seriously, and he would not back off. I wanted to slap the guy across the face; but I have more manners than that. I am almost positive he wouldn't hit me back, but he's alot bigger than me. Why, everyone is bigger than me... I'm barely 5 feet tall, not but 95 pounds. There are 10 year olds that are bigger than me. Sad. But true. There was a guy who liked me and he IM'ed me and said "Hey babe" and it made me so mad! It made me so angry that I blocked him and asked my boyfriend to tell him to back off. The guy hasn't bothered me since. :-) There have been other guys that have liked me and they really freak me out. I'm almost afraid of them because I don't like them, but they like me. One thing you'll find irritating about guys is they'll (in general) pretend you don't exist for the first 13 years of your life (unless you REALLY put out) and then you'll have guys all over you. It's as if they suddenly discovered you. A bit irritating, is it not? Try not to blow them completely off, unless you don't want any guy friends at all.


Don't change for a guy. It's not right. I don't think you should be more girlish unless YOU WANT TO BE THAT WAY. You should worry about not having a boyfriend or being asked out. And you know what? There are probably lots of guys who like you and are afraid to tell you because they think you might reject them. If you don't really want a boyfriend, try to be content with knowing that there are guys who like you and are too afraid to tell you. :-) Don't change, stay the way you are chick!

I painted my room lime green and it looks great but I wanted to know if anyone has ever had a room painted black before. I'm goth and i want to paint my room black with lime green acscents.
instead of green with black accents.
thank you so much

I've never painted a room black, but the darker the color you paint a room, the smaller your room looks. A dark color is great for a BIG bedroom, but might be ... constricting in a small bedroom. I know a girl whose bedroom is dark purple. Her bedroom is small, but it looks tiny with the dark walls. But, because you're accenting it with lime green, perhaps the room wouldn't look so small. A black room with lime green accents sounds really cool. Freaking awesome.


Do you what you want to your room (within reason), and keep in mind that a dark color makes the room appear smaller, but it will also help you sleep better. If you have a lighter colored room, though there isn't much light, it is reflected off of the light color and makes the room seem brighter at night. Perhaps this isn't so with bright colors? But it is with soft pastel-ish colors. Black walls, green trim, black doors, green crown molding... that would be cool. Except, if I did my room any way I wanted, it would be black and red. :-)

What is HTML? What does it stand for? And what does it do? (link)
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the computer language that is used to create documents on the Web. It can be kind of confusing to understand at first. HTML documents are text files that consist of HTML tags (which can place the text or images wherever you want to place them), and text you can place between the tags so that the text will show up on your page when you publish it on the WWW (World Wide Web). Tags are instructions that tell your browser what to show on a Web page. They break up your document into basic sections. All tags start with a < (left bracket) and end with a > (right bracket).

According to Mary Poppins, it is spelled :

Though if you were looking for the spelling from somewhere else, it might not be the same. :-\

my (powder, i guess) makeup just fell and broke in a million pieces. is there any way to fix it? (link)
Actually, if you put it into a small-ish bowl like container, and squish it up into a fine loose powder, you can use a makeup brush (like for blush) and still use your powder. Or you could attempt to put it back into its original container - but I highly doubt that'll work. You could always throw it out and get some new powder, but that almost seems wasteful when you could use it still.

my boyfriend always claims he misses me whenever i'm gone but i'm always the one that has to say it. what's up with that? (link)
Oh, he's probably just a little shy. Sometimes guys (girls too for that matter) are afraid to share their feelings. Sometimes I wish I was less shy, but because of certain people who happen to have quite a bit of control over me, I don't do the things I wish I could. (like initiate things, take his hand or put my arm around him first etc.) Perhaps he is the same way? He's either too shy or scared to say so, or he's afraid he'll get in trouble? He's probably just a little shy and afraid of what you might say/think. Maybe you could ask him if he's a little shy or scared? Just try and talk to him alot about your feelings, and he'll probably open up. :-)

alicia.. i just wanted to let u know that this is so cool what u do! helping people so much and u are so pretty!!anyways.. i have a problem. ok i have a boyfriend and weve been together for awhile and last weekend i went out of town and met this great guy! we like hung out the whole time.. i mean we were just friends but we flirted a lot! i think i might have something for him.. and i dont know what to do should i just forget about it or act on my feelings... also my friend has a crush on him also but im almost sure she mean nothing to him.. thanx a lot.. sorry if this confused u!

(link)
Bwahaha.. I'm Alicia. Not the right one, albeit, but hey! :-D I'll answer anyway.


So, your friend has a crush on the same guy you do. Ask her how she feels first. Sure, HE might not like her, but do you value her friendship? If you answered yes, you ought to ask her. Perhaps it would absolutely kill her inside if you were to go out with him or make a move on him. If she doesn't mind, then you should CONSIDER making a 'move' on him.


Do you care for your boyfriend? If you answered yes, why do you want to break up with him and go out with that other guy? Just asking, of course. If you don't like your boyfriend anyway, why are you with him? If you don't like him, it'd be better to break up with him now instead of leading him on. If you don't like him anymore, break up with him GENTLY and talk to your friend about the other boy.

HI,
My grandma abuses me what should I do?
(link)
Definitely do some research as to which orginizations to contact and who to talk to. Because you're young, people might ask more questions, be prepared with the last time your grandma abused you (physically, verbally, sexually?) and how she did so. If you have access to a video camera (cam-corder), put it in a concealed location of the room your grandma most frequently abuses you in. Make sure the camera is equipped with a brand new blank tape. Record the room. This is your evidence that your grandma is abusing you.


Now, call the police. Do so discretely, after school or after an extra cirricular activity. Let them know what is going on. Or, if it is possible, walk / ride bike / take bus to the police station and talk face-to-face with the officer in charge. Let them know what has been happening, the last time it happened etc. If you go to the station, go equipped with the tape, and a list of dates that your grandma abused you, how she abused you - specifically (I mean : 'She hit me with the flowered vase on my left shoulder') and if you were injured. Perhaps you could make a chart? That way you'd be organized.


Go to the school counselor. He or she will be able to help you. Try not to talk about it a bunch with your friends because this may only hurt you more. They wouldn't mean to, but they might tell other kids or their parents, and your grandma could find out, and abuse you more. Tell a select few people who can help you only. Such as :


- a trusted teacher
- parents, if available
- police
- school counselor


The police or your school counselor will be able to help you remain safe around your grandma, and how to justly punish her - if applicable.
