♥[?]♥ ok i'm scared to go to high school because i hear you have to shower in front of all the other girls!!! i really don't want to do that it's really gross!! what do i do??!?!?!

It varies from school to school. Personally, the GUYS in my school HAD to shower. If they neglected to shower 3 times they failed the class automatically. However, the GIRLS DID NOT have to shower. They could if they wanted to, but they DID NOT have to!! I think it's because the girls have that time of the month when it's very embarrassing to shower around others, and boys don't.. if you get my drift there. Also, I don't know where people are getting this curtain/stall thing. My school DOES NOT have that. They should though!!! I'm sorrie I can't give you a definite answer, I'm just unaware of the way your school runs. Just ask anyone who goes/went there. They'll tell you. I hope things work out! Keep your head up and stay beautiful! =D

♥[?]♥ my bestest friend iz like OBSESSED wid my step-bro n she talks about him ALL the time wat should i do???????

~ AnNoYeD ~

Just tell her it bugs you. If she can't control her hormones, tell her not to mention it around you, and keep it to herself.

♥[?]♥ is it normal for girls 2 masturbate becuz its normal for guys??

YES!!! Of course it's normal!! MANY people choose to do it.

♥[?]♥ I'm 11 and I'm a girl (lol)My friend Madison is going out with this guy and I like him (a lot) but I can't flirt or anything cause I feel bad. And I don't want Madison to know that I like him because she won't be exactly happy.I really like him and I don't know what to do. Plz help.....:(

Forget about this guy. He's already taken. A best friend's boyfriend is always off limits. It's just one of those known friendship rules. You should be happie for her! Don't try anything with this guy -- he's NOT worth your frienship with her. There will be MANY MANY MANY MANY more guys comin' your way. Be patient and keep your head up! =D

♥[?]♥ Have you had sex? Well whether you have or not, I wanted to get your opinion on something... Do you think games like blindfolding or tie-ups are too much for a first date? Like using ice and food and stuff....I just ask because im trying to plan for the day me and this girl go out on OUR first date... If that day ever comes. What do you think? Do you have any fun things to suggest?

How many times are you gonna ask this?? Ya know.. if this is some attempt to get me in the sack.. HOLLA

♥[?]♥ Not too much for a first date? Thats some good advice, i just hope she will take it as well as you seem like you would. If thats not enough, then are you talking about whips and leather and candles and stuff??? Hmmm dont know if i could keep up with that. You never answered my original question. I can only ASSUME by your answer that you have, but i will ask again: Have you had sex?

haha, I can't answer that here! =D
[P.S. -- Wanna hit it??]

♥[?]♥ any good love songs? (not kc and jo-all my life)

KC and Jo-Jo's "All my Life" is one of my favorite songs! I have good love songs though! I'm sappy!
Mandy Moore - Crush
Britney Spears - Dear Diary
Eamon - Fuck It
Savage Garden -- Truly, Madly, Deeply

Blindfolding and tie-ups too much for a first date??? haha, Hunny.. are you kidding?? That's baby shit.. you gotta get more REAL! It needs to be H.A.R.D.C.O.R.E!! Ya feelin' meh??

♥[?]♥ hey i have decided to use tampns b/c i am hate pads. and when i used tampons i mean it went fine for a while and then when i tryed to take one out it was like stuck and it had a piece of skin the was preventing it from getting out. i was wondering has this happened to ne other girls ?

It sounds like you got the wrong size. Try pads?

♥[?]♥ If you wear a condom during sex does that mean you most likely won't get pregnant or do you have to take birth control pills too..?

Wearing a condom helps a lot to prevent pregnancy, but it is NOT a 100% guarantee by ANY means what so ever!!! It's best to take birth control also.. but again.. it's NOT a 100% guarantee. Just be wise and responsible! Enjoy!

♥[?]♥ This is a stupid little thing.. but oh wells.

As of now, I'm hungry. I need something to snack on! Any ideas of what I could make for a little midnight snack?

Haha. Thanks!!

Hmm. Apples and cheese!! And GRAHAM CRACKERS!! MUST HAVE GRAHAM CRACKERS! Oh.. and don't forget the Koolaid!!

♥[?]♥ Choose one or the other 4 each question!!

Chad Michael Murray or Johnny Depp??

Ruben or Clay??

Bush or Kerry??

Hilary Duff or Lindsay Lohan??

Apple or Banana??

Ben Affleck or Matt Damon??

Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson??

Chicken or Tuna??

Chad Michael Murray
Ruben

Uhm.. I don't know who they are.
Jessica Simpson

♥[?]♥ My best friend never approves of my "sexual activities" with my boyfriend! Lately, I just wont tell her because I hate how she overreacts but shes my best friend and I cant keep secrets from her!! I feel terrible! Now that I've had sex, I want to tell her but definitly dont know how. She'll get so mad at me.. Should I tell her? What should I say?

Dude.. it's not a secret, and you DON'T need her approval!! First of all.. it's NONE of her business! She is in NO way, shape, or form entitled to every detail of your love life. Secondly, if you two have some little thing going where you must tell each other everything.. why does she even ask if she can't handle reality?? Sorrie, but people grow up, and eventually do their own thing! A true best friend shouldn't judge you on something like that. She knows the person you REALLY are, so she should understand and respect your reasoning. Try talking to her. Tell her how you feel. Goodluck!

♥[?]♥ I have this off + on boyfriend. We always fight & he's kinda one of those 'players' you know. I trust him & everything, but I cant help but worry. He has like 2 different personalities. The 1 where he tells me he loves me + he'll never cheat, etc. + the 1 where he doesn't talk to me for days + talks to other girls(i guess to get me mad?) I don't know if he's gonna cheat on me + he gets mad at me for the smallest things. When I'm with him though, its wonderful. He tells me things that make me wanna stay with him forever & it feels good. When we talk online or on the phone, thats when the fighting starts. Its like he's playing lil boy games with me. Should I cross him off totally or not give up just yet?

Aww! Yeah, I know what you mean. You're with him having the time of your life and it makes you want to stay with him forever. You have that feeling of never ending joy, but saddly, then night comes to an end.. AND THEN HE GOES OUT TO MEET SOME OTHER GIRL GIVE HER THE TIME OF HER LIFE!!! Are you kidding?? Don't give this guy one more second of your time!! You deserve SOOOOO much more than someone who is only going to be half devoted to you! Don't be ridiculous. There will be PLENTY more guys coming your way.. and they will be a whole lot more worthy of you than he will. Please be smart about this. I hope things work out! =D

♥[?]♥ I have gone through a 14 hour babysitting course at Baylor Hospital, I am certified at the heimlech maneuver and CPR. I think that I am fully qualified to babysit, and my parents say thatt i can. The problem is, I have only had one real job! No one asks me because I am short for my age, therefore I look young but I am very mature. How do I get babysitting jobs?

Try printing out flyers and posting them in candy store windows [where parents are bound to see them], and at your local grocery stores. Tell your friends to recommend you.. and have your parents inform their coworkers! Goodluck!! Have fun!

♥[?]♥ okay, so here's the situation..in 7th grade i used to be how do you say it..the ugly duckling..then in eighth grade my body matured and i was still unhappy with myself..then people started complimenting me and i have had no trouble finding people to do stuff with..not meaning sex but...yah know..i just don't know what to do ..because as much as i want a boyfriend im soo used to my usual thing..i don't know what to do..what if i cheat on that boyfriend..or what..is it like wrong not to have boyfriends..becuase i don't think im ready for a relationship..maybe in time but i mean right now im not gunna settle down ..but is it wrong or what?

Is it wrong?? Are you crazy?? No! It's not wrong at all!! There's nothing wrong with it! Many people prefer not to get themselves tied up into a relationship. If you have any doubts whether you could remain faithful to a boyfriend or not.. STAY SINGLE!! It's NOT fair to him! You MUST consider his feelings also! Just give it some time. Whenever YOU feel YOU'RE ready to hold a steady relationship.. go for it! But don't ever give in because everyone else is doing it! You're your own person.. you're unique... so don't change to follow the herd! Goodluck! Hopefully this was some help!

♥[?]♥ what one doesnt know can't hurt them

This is very true, but they'll find out eventually. Really; it's unfair to the other girl, and I KNOW you wouldn't appreciate your boyfriend doing this to YOU behind YOUR back, now wouldcha?? Seriously... now-a-days girls go around calling each other sluts and doing whatever they can to hurt one another... when they SHOULD have each others back and BE THERE for one another. As a human being, you MUST tell your 'best friend' that if he wants a relationship with you.. he MUST end his current one. Then you're free to do whatever you want with him because he's all YOURS! Now tell me that DOESN'T sound inviting???? Please, do the right thing! And when THAT'S all over.. ENJOY!! =D

♥[?]♥ ok im going out with this guy that i was TOTALLY in love with for a while i digged him so much and i was completly HEAD OVER HEELS for him but now i just dont like him anymore...we never talk and its not working out. its so hard though because hes been my BEST friend since 5th grade and now im in 9th im SO scared if i break up with him itll ruin our friendship thats so strong...what should i do?!?1 :(

You can't stay in a relationship for fear of losing the friendship behind it; it's nonsensical and unhealthy. If you really feel you two aren't working out anymore, you need to sit him down and tell him how you're feeling. Perhaps the two of you can patch things up, or maybe he's feeling the same way. I wish you the best!
