do you have to have a pap smear before getting on the pill for the first time?

No you don't have to anymore. I'm sure some places still do. But I got mine without it because it's for horrible cramps and acne. Once you become active, it's highly suggested to get one. So I guess if you're getting the pill to have sex, they will probably want to do one.

how is it possible to be pregnant and not even know it? like doesnt the belly have to be big?

It takes a few months for the big belly to appear.
Some girls have irregular periods and think it's nothing when they don't get it every month.
She may not get morning sickness.

You could be about 2 months pregnant and not realize it. You could be stressed out around that time and think that you're missing your periods or gaining some weight from pigging out.

My friend didn't know she was pregnant because she used protection and didn't think much of it. Her belly didn't get big until the 4th month.

If you don't know what the pregnancy signs are, then you wouldn't know if you are.

Wait, do people have like parties and ceremonies when you get your periods? None of my friends did that...
What do they do at these parties and why would you have one its personal.

Uh I have never heard of that before. Ceremonies when you get your periods? When all us girls got our periods... we didn't have parties about it or anything.

Yeah, it is personal. Who actually does this now? I think they do it.. to show off. Or it's probably one of those.. "i've become a woman" party thing.

This is kind of weird.

i have a white pimple on my upper lip. it's red, but white in the middle. i have very little facial hair on my upper lip. and when i apply a little pressure on it it hurts. yesturday night i used neutrogena acne scrub and it was like...a normal pimple yesturday. today it was a white pimple. what should i do to get rid of it? i cant go to the doctor...

how do i get rid of it in 2 days?

Concealer usually makes it worse, so I suggest not using it. It clogs the pores and has caused me more pimples. You can try getting a warm-hot washcloth and putting it over it to bring a head to it. You can try popping it. If it's white, it seems to have a white head. If you clean your skin and fingers, try popping it.. but only if it looks "ready". You want it gone in 2 days so I'm assuming you have something going on and you don't want it. You could always apply some acne scar cream on it after. It might bleed when you pop it but it will be a lot easier to cover up with makeup than a bump. [In my opinion, i guess]

But then you could wait and continue to wash your face. You probably won't get rid of it in 2 days by leaving it alone though. It usually takes more time.

I usually pop mine when it has a white head and I clean it with warm water.. than cold water to close my pores. It leaves a scar for a few days then it fades away.

hey i was wondering if anyone knew what hair color i can use without bleaching my hair

i have naturally brown/dark brown hair and i do not want to bleach it to dye it

i want colors like pink, blue, purple things like that

oh and i already tried loreals color rays and that worked really good but they do not have a wide variety of colors

thanks so muchfpr the help =]=]

Actually, loreals color rays is the only thing you could use. It's really good. They have red pink and blonde.

If you try dyeing your hair with a brighter color, it won't show up. It's already been tried. If you try dyeing your hair blue..It will just make your hair look like a really dark/tinted blue.

You won't get bright colors without bleaching. You could get some blonde highlights and dye colors over it.

You really need to get your hair lightened. Probably not all of your hair, just selected pieces.. or you'll fry your hair. You could try lightening your hair with a Sun In spray or spray in some lemon juice and stay out in the sun. Lemon is a natural bleach. But it probably won't be the results you want. The lighter your hair is, the brighter it will be. Since it's summer, you can spray it in and go to the beach or something. I have dark brown hair and I used Sun In once for about an hour in the blazing sun.. I got lazy and it brought out red highlights. The stages of bleaching is brown, red, orange-yellow to blonde. So I was nearly there.

If you choose to bleach it and have questions, drop me a message.

whats the difference between razored hair,layered hair, and that "scene" look? can anyone show me pictures of each? (say they all have side bangs) (NO celebrities,please :]) thanks!

Razored hair.. is when they use a special comb. Basically a razor comb. They comb through your hair and it takes the bulk out. So it's good if you have thick hair.

A razored look:

Layered hair is not one length.

http://www.beautyfashion.co.kr/bf/special/0511/0511_sph_01_dt07.jpg

See her hair has 3 years. The top, the middle and the longest [the bottom!] This is also good for thick hair.

Scene hair has been described as a fashion mullet. Lots of layers especially at the top.

Hi i just turned 15 2 days ago!! I have little breast buds and have had pubic hair for over a year. I started to get under arm hair about 2 months ago and get white discharge in my undies. I am wondering when will i get my period and when will my boobs get bigger? My mum is a C cup and i was wondering if i will be her size? I feel so left out that i do not have my period and i am scared i wont get it!!

Am i just a late bloomer?? I would love for people to answer my question and to tell me if im okay or not.

Thanks

You'll probably get it sometime this year or the next. You're only 15, there's still time for you to grow. If the women in your family is around a C cup then you will probably be one too. You'll get it, if you're healthy (and you sound like it.. the few stages before getting a period)

I don't think you're a late bloomer. Most girls get it near 14 or 15. There just has been many unlucky ones who got it at 13 and under. Haha. I don't like periods :[

I have a LOT of nose hair and you can see a little of it come out of my nostrils at the right angle. I want to get rid of/shorten the hairs that stick out, because it looks gross. Is it safe? Are there consequences? And how would I go about doing it? I tried scissors but it didnt work well.

I can't go to my mom about this stuff because she's all about HEY!LETSBENATURAL and ughhh its so bad. She has a unibrow that she doesnt want to get rid of.

Did you use small scissors? Plucking hurts and cause infections/ingrown hairs. It will irritate your nasal cavity.

Small scissors will work. Just tilt your head back a little and tug at the edge of your nose.. and try to trim the hair close to the base. Just be cautious. Obviously don't try putting it too far into your nose. It's not going to be easy because you need to get at the right angle.

There's always electric nose hair trimmers.

But don't get rid of all your nose hair. Just trim it slightly. The hair has a function for protecting the body, so remove the hair that is visible to someone that is *not* looking up your nose

earlier this year i had to get surgery on my mouth because i was missing a tooth. so they had to put in a fake one. now the fake one is attached to my mouth by this big metal stripe that is attached to the fake tooth and the two teeth around it in my mouth.

now the tooth looks AMAZING and completely real but the problem is that i'm afraid when i go to kiss a guy he might be able to feel the metal part on the fake tooth.

so what do i do is he does feel this metal piece?
what do i tell him? because i really don't want to have to say that its a fake tooth because thats really embarrassing.

thanks!

I don't think he would be able to feel it though. I don't think he would be pressing his lips against yours that roughly, and if he does.. he will probably think it's your teeth.. If he french kisses you, I don't think he would be licking your teeth either. If he does feel it somehow, then tell him you had to get surgery on your mouth and nothing else. He would understand. It's just a dental surgery. You could always explain why because I highly doubt he would say anything rude or laugh. I don't think it's embarrassing. You were missing a tooth and your dentist fixed it. It happens. If he's an ass about it, then don't bother with him. It's not as embarrassing as you make it seem. If you like your fake tooth and smile, then it should be okay.

m/13 i masturbate everyday maybe twice and i was wondering do you play sport better before or after masturbating. i seem to be more aggressive if a havent masturbated for a while and when i do after im calm and relaxed. i need loads of energy so will masturbating affect me in any way??? when i masturbate does it inrease or decrease testostorone

When you orgasm, you feel more.. relaxed, tired and less stressful. So maybe wait after your sport.. because you did say you were more aggressive if you haven't.

Ejaculation will not cause testosterone levels to increase or decrease.. It just decreases your sexual energy. There's some evidence to suggest that increased sexual activity will actually increase testosterone levels, but it depends on age, time of day, general health, etc.

ok. so im planning on giving my boyfriend a hj. and this may sound weird but im kinna grossed out by the idea of testes. like im fine with the other thing. but are they gross to feel? and am i expected to touch them too? thankss

Well it's a handjob. You may not even see his balls. Not gross to feel. I'm sure you aren't expected to touch them unless of course.. he mentioned something like that... You don't have to. If you plan to, be gentle.

A handjob is mainly about the penis. I don't think he would care if you didn't touch anything else.

okay well i just turned 13 all my friends are older than me by a few months but i have fingered myself before and im the only one am i 2 young?
sports and thank you so much!!!!! please help

I'm sure you aren't the only one.
Most people usually don't talk about that. it's a bit embarrassing.

no, you're not too young. a lot of people have done that when they were younger.. exploring their body, you know? and they don't understand what they are doing.

i know people who have done that when they were 9 or even younger.

it's not bad :]

Im in love and I thought that was enough but Idk. I wish he would show me that he loves me some times. He does some times and he treats me right but its like he doesnt care. I want to be with him and I dont want to take another break. I feel like im controlling. I guess its my fault...

It's not your fault. I was in a similar relationship. If you have tried to talk to him about this and nothing worked but caused a fight.. then it's not worth it. Because if he's aware of it and hasn't made a little change.. it's his problem.

Maybe he's not the type that likes to show he loves a person. sometimes people are like that. you are not controlling you just want some attention. and it feels like he's not taking your hints about it either, right?

you should talk to him and if it doesn't help then i don't think you should be with him.

because i talked to my ex about it so much.. that it did nothing and usually people won't change. people are stubborn and think nothing's wrong with themselves. he might think you're clingy :/ even though he's not showing you he cares the way you want. How do you want him to show you anyway? You already took a break.. but why?

You really need to think about this relationship. Is he really making any effort? Do you REALLY think you're doing something wrong? I mean if you aren't telling him what to do and yelling at him over small things, then you aren't doing anything bad.

I stayed in that relationship and it upset me so much. I blamed myself for things.. It didn't even make sense. You shouldn't continue to hurt yourself.

At least he shows you sometimes.. but what type of guy is he? Maybe you shouldn't expect much because he's possibly shy about it? He probably doesn't know he's hurting you unless you voice it.

does anyone have insomnia and how did you help get rid of it? drinking warm milk doesnt help and neither does counting sheep so none of the obvious reponses, please.

exercise really does help sometimes. go out running or something. also don't eat the hour before you want to sleep. you'll just stay up longer. try to relax. You could do something boring to make you sleepy. people have always said to read a book in dim light. it helps a little. it's really hard to overcome this. I had it throughout middle school.

You have to change your sleeping schedule. Make your bed a little more comfortable. You could always try staying up a whole day. You'll be really tired and then you can fall asleep at like 9 or 10. The next day you might fall asleep at like 10 or 11. That's something that worked for me.

No naps during the day. Um. I've always heard people talk about how you set a time you want to go to bed and lay in your bed ahead of time. Try to relax your whole body and you'll fall asleep. Maybe try that?

You should go see a doctor for it though. They would be better help. Things people suggest to you, may not work. I've tried like everything and failed. I think sleeping pills would be good for you until you change your sleeping habits.

If you can't get those, you should try allergy medicine. The drowsy kind, yup.. 1-2 pills and in about half an hour you'll be tired. That's what I take when I need to get to bed at a certain time.

i hate the people in my school. they claim to not get any sleep but im the one who has severe baggy dark eyes and they dont. are they lying? is it possible to get less sleep and still come out looking freaking great?

Well some people use concealer under their eyes. It helps a little. Some people keep a spoon in the freezer overnight.. Wake up and place it on under their eyes.. Supposedly it makes it less noticeable. It's also heredity. If one of your parents have it, then you do.

I don't know if they are lying. Some people don't need a lot of sleep and they still look okay. I only get about like 3-4 hours of sleep and I don't have bags under my eyes. It's just heredity I suppose.

I'm thinking they might get like 5 or 6 hours of sleep instead of the usual 8+ hours, maybe? So it seems like they don't get any sleep..

if you are a good kisser or a bad kisser?
or can you tell?

Well I alway see it as.. if you don't slobber all over their face.. and they let you continue to kiss them.. You must be a good kisser.

If they breathe heavily is a sign. I think if you don't make a mess with saliva or bite too hard on their lips.. you're good.

You can always ask them.

You should kiss differently... to see what you like and what the person likes.

How gentle or rough you can be. Etc.

I have a Nikon Coolpix L3, and the image used for the welcome screen isn't on the camera anymore [I guess I deleted it by accident]. Is there a way to upload the welcome screen image to my computer? I'm desperate haha I love the picture and feel like a complete idiot for deleting it.
I checked the owner's guide and didn't see anything. And I looked around google, didn't find much. So thanks for any help.

I have the same camera.. I also had the same problem. If you don't see the picture on your camera anymore it's because you either deleted it or it got uploaded onto one of your folders/files. But if you don't have it on either .. then it's really deleted and you can't get it back.


But if you selected it to be your welcome screen.. shouldn't it have been downloaded onto your computer with other photos?

thanks for your help, I do change the tampon every few hours, but i never knew it happened after 8 hours so i shouldn't ever sleep with one in right? and if you leave one in for 8 hours with you definately get it or just a chance? thanks! =]

Never sleep in one.. unless you wake up at a certain time to change it.

It's just a chance. If you don't get tss, you'll get an infection because pieces of the tampon would be stuck in you.
