i have a bf and one of my really good guy frinds i think is crushing on me..i don't like him..but how do i find out if he likes me?

If you don't like him, then you shouldn't find out. Unless it's about your future, all you have to do is go up to him and ask him if he does like you. Also, you have a boyfriend and you don't want any guys liking you because it can lead to many problems. Hope I helped :)

i dont know what to put this under .. but my back is KILLING me .. its like my upper back and idk it feels like someone is stabbing me in the back its all along my shoulders ..

Try to rest a little bit: lay down in a comfortable position and see if that will help, take some pain killers (it might not help), and maybe putting a heating pad over it will help? I Hope I helped and I hope you feel better :)

Okay I asked a question before about the pill and I was wondering something else....If I do decide to have sex w/out a condom, and get pregnant say five months later....if I keep taking the pill, will it kill the fetus before it gets into the really late stages of pregnancy? If anyone knows any websites with that information, i'd appreciate it a lot...i've searched and can't find anything....Thanks

Female, 16

Nope, it will not abort the fetus. The pill is supposed to help not form the fetus. Hope I helped :)

Im going to get my ears piercing in about a half hour on a 1-10 scale how bad does it hurt? And do you think i should get a double piercing in a few months?

Ok, from what I have read, you are getting your first holes pierced right? Getting them pierced doesn't hurt because there are no nerves, it's just skin. Also, double piercing your ears won't hurt either. On a 1-10 scale, getting your ears pierced would be a 1 or 2, depending if people can or can't take the pain. Trust me, I am great at giving advice on piercings because I have 8 of them myself. If you have any other questions, feel free to drop them in my inbox! Hope I helped and good luck sweetie :)

I met a great guy. He is so sweet and made me smile everytime he said something...but there is always a catch isn't there!! A few days later he told me he liked this girl as if he had NO CLUE I liked him..sooo..what's the deal here? Should I just lay off and not talk to him now that he is with this girl?

You shouldn't stop talking to him just because he likes another girl. You should stay friends with him because then he will get to know you better and he might develop feelings for you. Hope I helped and good luck :)

OK guys.. A really cute guy likes me and invited me to go to his football game tomorrow since he's one of the starting players. I know to cheer for the team and when he does good, etc.. But I dunno if I'd be able to see him after the game. I want to see him but I don't want to wait around for him if he only wanted me to be there for support. So should I wait for him or just leave after the game ?

You should definitely wait for him because it sounds that he likes you. A guy wouldn't invite you unless he liked you. Hope I helped and good luck :)

hey i have gotten my hair highlighted a couple of times. It is a golden blonde with lighter blonde highlights. Well in the winter im thinking about going to a light brown. Does anyone know of a pretty shade of brown/light brown that you have tried? shade? brand?
Thanks

When I dyed my hair, I used a Dark Brown color from Loreal and it looks so pretty but it fades away fast. There's also a Honey Brown color that's from Loreal also and it looks pretty too. It only costs around $9 for the box and you can get it at Target, Walmart, and any other supermarkets. Hope I helped :)

I get the worst cramps when I get my period. It's usually my first or second day when I get these horrible cramps. I take Motrin, drink tea and use a heating pad. Nothing I do seems to really work and my cramps get so terrible I just want to die. Is there something I can do or take that will make them go away?

You should try and take Midol because it helps relieve cramps, bloating, and any other side effects during your period. Also, if you take a warm bath, it'll help make that cramps go away. Try not to eat any foods with caffine because it'll make everything worse. Whenever I get really bad cramps, usually around my lower back, I let my sister massage my lower back and it helps too. Hope I helped :)

well my friend Amanda finch cuts. she cant stop. plz help she wants to kill herslef and i hope she doesnt! help! how do i support her?! i need ideans and QUICK!

You have to tell your school's conselor or a responsible adult about this and they can handle it. Also, you shouldn't put people's names and any other information about them on the internet because it can lead to many problems. It isn't safe. Just letting you know hun. Hope I helped and good luck with everything :)

I don't normally get bags under my eyes, but today my eyes are really, really puffy. Are there any home remedies for this, besides cucumbers on the eyes? Thanks.

You can use concealer, masks, and tea bags. Also, if you put a spoon in the freezer for a little bit and then take it out and put it under your eyes, it'll make the bags go away. If you get more sleep, it'll help also. Hope I helped :)

At school yesterday, I slipped on some loose rocks and split my knee open, I know, GROSS! It stings, and the bleeding slowed down, but it still does bleed a little! I don't want to bleed through my clothing! Any advice???

Since it's still bleeding, you should go to the doctors or whoever and get it stitched up because it could get infected. If you don't wanna go to the doctors, just put some disinfecting spray or just alcohal on it and then put one of those big bandages on it and then wrap something around it so it can give pressure and the bleeding will stop. I know that sounds confusing but I hope I helped :)

How long does a girl have her period? like how many days?

Mine lasts for 7 days but a girl's period lasts for about 3-9 days. It's different for everyone. Hope I helped :)

Please, members of this site, stop putting that in your messages!

When you beg and plead for people to "not delete" things, it flags your message. It makes us think that there is probalby something wrong with the question and that it probalby DOES need deleted.

Don't do it!

Also, if a question gets moderated with enough 1 ratings (the frowny face), IT IS AUTOMATICALLY DELETED. That's how the system works.

There's a list of questions that are automatically deleted. It is clearly stated in the Help/FAQ section.

Stop asking the moderators to "not delete" your questions.

Your pal,

MFS

I definitely agree with you :)

You can submit your own poetry at http://www.poetry.com and http://www.lovingyou.com. That's all I can think of at this moment. Hope I helped :)

Are there such things as a Junior Olympics? This girl on my basketball team claims she went to Athens for the Olympics, and since she's only 13/14 she would be too young to play for the USA Junior/Regular Woman's basketball olympic teams. My brother says that there is probably one for kids, but it's only a sideshow and no one really talks about it. I don't disagree but I just want to check it out and see if there was one...

Yup, there is a Junior Olympics. I know some people who went to Athens for basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball. I'm not sure where you can find a site where you can see the roster for those people who went. Hope I helped :)

Okay, this is gonna sound really, really dumb... but how do you tell if a guy likes you? :/ I'm clueless when it comes to this, I've heard so many things... so could someone sum it up? Thanks, 13/f :]

There's mny ways that you can tell if a guy likes you. For instance, if a guys flirts with you a lot or hangs around with you a lot, then he likes you. Also, if he talks to you a lot, that's another way that he likes you. It's pretty self explanatory. Hope I helped :)

i just got around to my 7th day of my period and it was pretty much all done [less and less coming out], but all of a sudden, it got really heavy again!! why is this happening? does it happen a lot during this time?

Hey, don't worry about it, it's normal. Your body is just cleaning itself out so it seems that your period isn't done yet. It happens to everyone. Hope I helped :)
