Well...I met this girl name Jenni and we started talking and then my brother was single so I started to get them to talk since she's one of m oldest friends and I thought they'd hit it off... suprisingly they did...well a few months later...after they started going out...Jenni told me that she cheated on my brother...with one of her friends Roxie's brother Chad...and I know them too...Jenni swore up and down that they only made out...and I trust her...but I also promised I wouldn't tell my brother...well one night my sister was saying how my brother and Jenni made a pact that they could do whatever whenever with whoever and I was like Wut the heck...so me and my sister confronted my brother and told him about her cheating on my brother...the pact was made after she cheated on him...turned out my sister heard wrong...and they never made a pact...like that...should I have told my brother...or should I have not told my brother to keep Jenni's trust with me?

Yes, you did the right thing. She shouldn't have cheated on him because you aren't supposed to cheat in a relationship but some people do. What kind of girlfriend does that? Don't worry, you did the right thing! Hope I helped :)

OK got a Terrior Mix puppy about a month ago. We've been training it to go outside the entire time. But it seems like at night he still has problems. When he potties in the floor, we spank him with a newspaper, and then take him straight outside. When hes good and potties outside, we give him a treat. But he still has accidents. Any suggestions on this? ty much.

Umm, you can buy these sheets at any supermarket or pet store that is like a diaper. Just lay it out somewhere in the house that your dog knows where it is and it'll go to the bathroom there. Also, take your dog outside about every 2 hours to let it go to the bathroom and get used to the schedule. Hope I helped and good luck :)

im 16/f and i really like this boy but hes in a younger grade then me. hes still older than me because he got held back. he really likes me and wants us to hook up, but i dn, for some reason, the grade thing really bothers me...and i dont even know if im ready for a relationship. i like him most of the time, and other times he is a bit too immature...what the hell do i do?

Hey, don't worry. My friend has been going out with her boyfriend for 10 months and they are a grade apart from eachother. Some people even go out with people who are ahead by three grade levels. Don't worry, it's alright to be a grade higher than him! Hope I helped :)

Umm, I use the powder deodorent from Dove and it works great. Also, if you sweat a lot, you can buy this deodorent at a local pharmacy called Certain Dri and it'll help stop the sweating from happening. Hope I helped :)

i dont have a boyfriend for my prom and i dont have any friends that are guys (or girls) to go with either ... I know its early but Im not gonna get a b/f cause i dont really want one but i want ot go to prom but nor alone!! help

Well since you said you don't have that many guy friends, try to meet some and become friends with them. Once you get to know them better, ask them to the prom. Or you could just go to the prom with your girl friends. But since you said you don't have that many of them either, there's nothing you can really do. Just try to make more friends this year and you'll be going to the prom with someone in no time! Hope I helped :)

How do I meet my favorite celebrity?

If your favorite celebrity is a musician, you could go to their concert and then go backstage to meet them but it would cost more money to get backstage passes. Also, you could go to a meet and greet for your celebrity. If your favorite celebrity is an actor or actress, it would be hard to meet them. Hope I helped :)

i am 13/f & im not sure what masterbating is? can you tell me??? i think i masterbate but i dont know what it is? or fingering myself doesnt give me, much please what all can i do to help me, feel better? and give me orgasisms? i rub it too but that gets boring, what can i do other than that to make it feel good? please help & i rate high!

Masturbating is when girls and guys play with their genitals because they are either horny or just can't have sex with anyone. Other than fingering yourself, you could use a shower faucet, a vibrator, a pillow, a cucumber, the end of a brush, and many other household items lol. Hope I helped :)

I have a lot of girl friends, and a bunch of guy friends but i want more guy friends and i dont remember how i got the ones i have...how can i seem more friendly to my guys?

While you are hanging out and talking with them, talk about what they are interested in like sports, music, etc. Some guys like it when girls are interested or talk about what they like! Hope I helped :)

Nope, you aren't weird. Be glad that guys are checkin you out. Most girls would kill for the way you look! Hope I helped :)

I have this line across my stomach, i never had surgery or anything there. I don't know what it is. And it won't go away. I thought it might just be the part where I bend, but nobody else seems to have this. Please help, I want to get rid of it.

It's a wrinkle. You get it when you bend a lot. Umm, to get rid of it, just to situps and crunches and it'll go away eventually. Hope I helped :)

this is going to sound idiotic but i have never had a boyfriend and im 13!!!!!! i dont think im ugly and i am really smart and stuff but no matter how hard i try no one has asked me out!!!!

Don't worry, some girls who are 18 haven't even had their first boyfriend. When you find a boy and start to be really good friends with him, hang around him more and flirt. If he's interested in you and if you like him, he might ask you out. Don't give your hopes up! Hope I helped and good luck :)

hi. i'm a 16/f and when i masterbate, i think of girls. i look at pics of girls. not guys, girls. but i still like guys!! am i..gay?

Since you are attracted to girls but you still like guys, I'd say you are bisexual. Some girls think of girls when they masturbate. Don't worry, it's normal. Hope I helped :)

...im getting my teeth pulled..the 2 like first molars...i uess im getting laughing gas and a shot...umm what do they use and does it hurt can someone like tell me these things lol im sooo nervous and i just need to know whats going on....thanks sooo much =)

Umm, well they numb the gum around the teeth that they are gonna pull and then they just basically pull your teeth out one by one. They use like these big tweezers to pull the teeth out. After they pull out your teeth, they might put some cotton balls over the hole where your tooth was. That's basically what they do. If your gums start to hurt, put some of that tooth sore thing over it and it won't hurt that much. I hope I helped and good luck :)

okay.. you know some shows like 7 heaven, boys meet world, sister sisters well any ways show like that haves people tell them what to say and they read lines and bord or something.. i was wondering
like Mad tv, whoe line is it anyway and opera and trl just say things when ther on live or they read cards to?? i know sound stupid but i not it just i touhgt give me idea becouse i taking drama i agoing do something in class where you come up with somethin and make up when there word u have to be or somthing. i have lot of my mind today and asking lot of stuff see other people optaon

Yea, all these shows have cue cards that people read off of except Mad TV. They have to rehearse their lines like in movies. Also, when you are watching like TRL, it is actually 30 second ahead of time. So lets say if someone swears or messes up, the producers and all the staff have less than 30 seconds to fix what they mess up. I know it sounds confusing but it's hard to type it out lol. Hope I helped and good luck in your drama class :)

about how much does contacts cost?! and how easy are they to use?! i rate high!

Well it depends on the brand of contacts. They can be kind of expensive. They usually range from $150-$200. Umm, they are pretty easy to use, you just have to get used to them. Also, you can get colored contacts so your eyes will be a different color. Hope I helped :)

me and my friend has been friends for a long time. And she was always has a attitude and makes me look like the bad girl... I really dont want to loose a friend but i am getting really sick of her wat should i do?

You have to tell her about this. Ask her why she does this. If she is really a true friend, then she would tell you and appologize. If she doesn't, than it's her loss. Hope I helped and good luck :)

Okay, this definitely isn't a question but you people that keep asking questions need to LOOK and use common sense to see if your question has already been answered, because half of the questions that are on here have already been answered about 20 different times, please look before you ask the SAME exact question that everybody else has already asked!

Yea, I definitely agree on this with you :)

Ok heres the problem.. my friend got her peroid in 5th grade.. so she gets it normally now.. but when she was supposed to get it this month she didnt.. She never had sex.. what could be the problem?

Don't worry, it's not a problem. Cycles run differently. That's how her cycle is for now, it'll change and go back to normal. Hope I helped :)
