I was looking at my feedback but I forgot which question I answered so I went back and checked. As I was looking I noticed someones answer and I didn't know if it was true.

I don't want to embarass anybody so i'll just describe the situation. One girl stated that she hasn't had her period in 4 months and was wondering what she should do. Then this one girl answered:
If you have oral sex then there might be a chance of pregnancy, but if not, then it is probably just still irregular. It takes up to two years for a period to regulate, and if you have had your period for over two years, then you should tell your mom or a doctor.

Is it true you can get pregnat from oral sex?





&&thanks

the girl is confused. she also answered this question, and is obviously STILL confused. were talking about oral, and suddenly shes saying something about being fingered. you cant..CAN NOT get pregnant from oral sex. its absolutely impossible. and her recent answer..thats about a one in a billion type chance.

I think that i have really good style, but a lot of people think that it is "different" i wear like hollister stuff and stuff like that, but i turn them into "me." I really need some help to decided if i should dress like everyone eles or if i should be myself???

Fashion Fool or Fashion Cool

if you think you have great style then you do. keep thinking that, and be different. be who you are. why would you want to be how you say "like everyone else"? do you really want to blend in and be just another face in the crowd? i dont think so. being who you are and happy with it is what its all about. dont change for anyone else, ever.

ok yea that was corney but I have a question...At nights when I can be at home with my husband I like to straighten my hair, wear cute pajamas and NO make~up... Problem is I have extremley dark circles around my eyes it looks like I am seriously malnourished but im not! What can I do to make them go away? I've heard of cucumbers but exactly what's there purpose? I'll rate high as the sky (22/female)

alright, i have the same problem with dark cirlces under my eyes depending on the amount of sleep i get or stress i get in a day or so. ive done the cucumber thing, and it does work. the cucumbers are soothing and relaxing and help to reduce under eye poofiness and redness, and apparently helps to keep the area a little moisturized. another thing i use..which i laughed at because it was one of my great grandmas "home remedy" things, would be milk of magnesia, which is made for an upset stomache, your supposed to drink it. but if you take a q-tip and put a little of it under your eyes where your bags are and let it dry, it helps a lot too. of corse it dries a bright white and youll look a little funny, so you can leave it on for 15 minutes or so before you wash it off, or just leave it on all night. other than that, you say you dont want to wear makeup, but if you were to get a concealer, youd only have to put it right there under your eyes (a light color) and you wouldnt be able to tell they were there at all. its no problem at all, theyll be gone in no time.

So its summer for my school and like theres this guy and we both like each other and i want to go places with him with my group of friends and can anyone think of any place besides the movies because that is soo boring:]

THANKS I RATE 5S FOR ALL.

well you could go play putt putt, go to a pool or even an amusement park like fiesta texas or something. im sure theres a carnival around somewhere, maybe a skate park, or somewhere yall could play volley ball or something like that. ive found that even hanging out at someones house or waiting around till nighttime when you can lay outside and watch the sky is more fun than the movies. i hope you find somewhere exciting :)

whats a really good makeup remover that can remove water proof mascara and lots of eyeliner? and i dont want the expensive ones and thanks!!

ah..use eye makeup remover by L'oreal. its in a light blue (clear-ish) bottle with a white lid. its not expensive and the thing about it is that you know Lancome? the REALLY incredibly ridiculously expensive makeup line? well, Loreal is Lancomes cheaper version of..themselves. which is why everything L'oreal is so good, yet so cheap. haha hope it works for ya :)

today, the kid i like said he was moving. so i started crying like crazy. (he already knows i like him) but he was just kidding. now i made an idiot out of myself and his friends will tell him and they'll laugh at me. he probably did to because he knew that i would cry. what should i do?

instead of me answering your question..answer this one for yourself.. why do you like someone, who likes to make you cry? either he doesnt like you back and you can TRY to play it off by saying you never liked him either, or hes just a freak for liking to make you feel bad, and you need to get out of the situation..pronto. either way the whole situation is sad, hes missing out on the happy fun you and if hes trying to make you cry, maybe hes trying to shake you. like i said, either way i dont think this guy is good for you at all. i hope you find someone who will always make you smile and who will always want to be there to make you happy :) good luck

It is pretty much impossible for me to empathize/understand people who believe in God and religion. I am fully against both of them, for a long list of reasons that I don't need to go in to. The deal is, people tell me I'm being sacreligous/a heretic/going to hell, but I can't understand where they're coming from AT ALL. To me evangelists and deeply religous people just seem like pitiful, misguided puppets of a nonexistent power. It tends to screw up my relationships with people.... Any advice?

i know exactly how you feel. someone says something about religion, and you dont agree so you throw in your word and it turns into a "well your a dumbass for thinking like that" throw down over some barbed wire type of thing. good news..its definately not like that anymore, now that i just keep my opinions to myself. maybe not so much to where i just keep my mouth shut, but i dont try to change peoples ideas or views, maybe just tell them what i think and if they dont like it, or dont agree..then i dont question them, just change the subject. i have my views and they have theirs..just try to be a little open minded and if you cant just change the subject. it may be easier said than done, but its all i got. hope you dont get into too many throw downs over barbed wire because of it :)

My best friend ALWAYS has to have all the guys like her. Well, if a guy likes me or shows any signs in liking me she will try to get him to like her. She brags about all her guys, and she tries to flirt with the guys that like me. Why does she do this? I can't talk to her. What should I do? I'll give 5's. Thanks. And if you have good advice I'll give you the name of my column so we can talk more. Xoxo

well she doesnt really sound like a bestfriend to me..just my opinion. but she probably does this because shes jealous. you said guys like you, and then she tries to get them to like her. ..so they like you first..she gets jealous. just a guess. but no true friend would do this to you. and you should be able to talk to your bestfriend. as much as you probably dont want to hear this..unless you can gather up the courage to say something, just drop her. a true friend..even just a friend, wouldnt do that to you..wouldnt be called a friend now, you dont need her hanging around stealing everything that could make you happy.

Alright i`ve been taniing at the tanning bed..&& my little sister well isn`t old enough to go so she asked if i`d lay out at my grandma`s with her && i said yes.. Well my mom said i shouldn`t do that because my aunt did that && got burnt real bad && had scapes all on her chest.. So i want to know if this is a good or bad idea.. I mean my sister looks up to me && i said i`d do it.. But i don`t want to do anything dangerous.. But my mom might be makin it up i couldn`t tell if she was serious so please tell me ladies!!

itll be fine, if you just watch how long your out there for. tanning beds are way different than the sun. not only doesnt a real sun tan last longer, but it takes twice as long to get. when you could lay in a tanning bed for say 15 minutes. it would take an hour to burn in the sun. also, watch the news before you go out because they tell you what the uv factor is for that day to help you regulate your time in the sun..the higher the uv the faster you burn. ive had some sunburns in my life i wanted to die because of, with blisters on my back for days. just be careful not to fall asleep, and even using a tanning lotion would help, because theyre are made for tanning specifically and help to block out harmful uv rays. the lighter skin you have, the less time you need to be out there for and when you get your skin wet (say, in a pool) the water on your skin just magnifies the sun rays, so getting yourself wet, though its cooling you off, will help you to burn twice as fast also. not to mention if its hot and you start to sweat..its still magnifying. just be smart about it, and even though i do it, remember it really could cause cancer down the line. just take care of your skin, maybe only lay out with her for 20 minutes (if you have lighter skin) then if you dont have ANY color the next day yall lay out go for 30 minutes you know? just dont jump right into like a hour, and keep your body hidrated with water, your body is mostly water and when your in the sun..its drying you out so you need to keep your skin moisturized also in the sense that after you come inside and shower or whatever you do. put lotion on, just in case you do get burnt, you wont always be able to tell until later in the day. anyway, happy tanning :)

Ok, if you don't use any means of birth control, and the guy comes in you after intercourse, does the cum stay in you, or come out?

well your just a bitchy little whore now arent you? dont ask for advice if you cant word your question right, and dont expect exactly what you want to hear.

ok so this boy right? we like each other but nothin has happend. we're cool and all. i never really told him how i REALLY felt like why i like him and stuff like that. after this school year he might move and i don't want him to forget me. soo.. should i tell him how i feel before the summer? my fear is that i dunno if he feels the same way. advice please lubb youzz!!

well tell him how you feel..and if he feels the same way then great, you two can talk about it and work something out. but if he doesnt feel the same way, then theres nothing lost either, because hes moving anyway right? but youll never know what could have been if you dont just give it a shot. good luuuck :)

is there any way to change your image quickly but not too fast to make people think you're a "poser" or something? ..idk any advice?

who cares what people think of you? dress how you want, when you want. but if its really a big deal to you, then just start slow. maybe you want to start wearing a new type of shoes first, then in a week or so start in with your shirts, or make up, or hair style. just whatever, but honestly, if you want to change your life and style up a little, whos to judge you? change like that can be good for the soul :) do what you want, dont let other people effect you.

my grandma has been smoking for many, many years and sometimes when i think about it it makes me cry. nothing has happened to her yet and i always say to myself "nothing bad has happened to her yet but its just a matter of time and why should she wait" everytime she is with me i ask her why wont she stop and i give her things suggestions but she always says "tried it". how can i get her to really stop? one of my grandmothers already died I DONT WANT HER TO ALSO!

honestly, harsh truth..but you most likey cant get your grandma to quit. she wont quit unless she wants to, and she obviously, doesnt want to. plus shes already old..maybe she doesnt want to live to be 100 living all crippled and shit. just let her be. you said "one of my grandmothers already died, i dont want her to also.." well kid, she wont live forever, dying is a part of life. smoking is a hard habit to break especially if youve been doing it for years and years..maybe you shouldnt be giving her suggestions on HOW to quit as much as you should be giving her reasons on WHY to quit. tell her how bad it is for her health and the people around her, and how much you love her and want her to live as long as possible. but its mostly useless anyway, like i said before, if she wanted to quit she would have. but good luck anyway

if you eat unhealthy foods,are you more likely to get acne? does what you eat affect your skin?thankyou :)

yep. greasy and sugary foods definately have an effect on your skin, as well as the over all health of your body. you should always try to eat healthy..because what you eat effects everything about you..your mood, your skin, your health, your attitude, how well your immune system works, your respiration sysytem, how you sleep, your energy, cavities..just everything.

OK My bro. is the same age i am 13. he seems to think boys are stronger than girls. But i showed him off. and beet him at like 15 different things. so my question is which do you think is stronger boys or girls.

thats a stupid question. it all depends. if you have a boy who weighs 60 lbs and a girl who weighs 300 lbs..then its a little obvious that the girl would be stronger. you cant just classify it in the sense that one sex is stronger then the other. some boys are stronger than some girls, and some girls are stronger than some boys. just like some boys are smarter than some girls..and some girls are smarter than some boys. also, being able to beat your brother at doing something, doesnt mean your stronger, it sould just mean your faster, or smarter. etc.

ok well i have some online friends right but the thing is we never have anything to talk about all we say is hey and whats up thats it can you give me a list of things to talk about and i only know these people online so like dont say ask them if they want to come over cause they are like not even in the state i live in thanks.

thats what i always do, it stikes up conversation. and it obviously works and people dont hate it, because people tell me all the time about how i always have something to talk about and i can always keep a conversation interesting. hope it helps

okay .. i dont really know where this would go .. but here's the background information .. january 19th was my dad's birthday. he would be 47 but he passed away when he was only 43. i was feeling very very down that day and was considering cutting .. but my friend was talkin about how when she's upset she pierces her ears instead of cutting. and i couldnt do my ear so i did my nose.
its how i took out my pain and grief i suppose.

okayy .. im not posting this so i can get the who "that was soo dumb" speeches. i see those all the time. i just want to know what's the important things to do with a newly pierced nose.

what i pierced it with is bigger than the earring thats in now .. will the skin grow back everywhere except for where the ring is? and its itchy .. but not red .. is that normal?

what would you suggest to do to keep it from gettin infected? thanks soo much in advance ..

the itching means its healing. you just need to keep it clean, use alcohol or something. im really bad with cleaning my piercings..i almost never used alcohol or anything on my nose, belly button, or ears. i just made sure to wash them when i showerd, and they never gave me problems. the skin around hers just means its a little infected. she definately needs a cleaner for it, like alcohol or sea salt. just get a little bit of water in like a shot glass size and put probably about a teaspoon of sea salt in it and let a cotton ball soak it. then she should hold the cotton ball on her nose for about a minute. its really really good for it and will help it to heal fast, so you could even do it too. anything simpler would just be to use alcohol. hope you dont get infected hehe :)

My grandpa died about one year ago, and the only time I cried about it is when i recieved the news on the phone. Not even at the funeral/wake..=\. But it's sort of hard to believe that I didn't because I used to have a diary and i wrote about how close i was to him and how much i loved him and such. Now for the past few days, all I have been doing is crying about him because I miss him so much. I mean i can't even watch certain shows on tv anymore because we used to watch them together, and songs that sing about relationships make me cry. My question is, why am i just starting to miss him and crying now? What should I do? This is the first time i've cried about him being gone.
Thanks for any advice. And btw, I dont have any other grandparents, and my parents and i arent that close so i cant get help from them. Thanks.

the exact same thing happened to me about a year after my grandmother died. i cried at school when i recieved the news and i cried when i got home and held her hand. but i never cried at the wake, or the funeral, or talking about it until one day..i randomly thought about it and completely broke down (around a year later). i think that this is somewhat of denial. it hadent quite soaked in, it was more like the ones we love were on some kind of vacation and you knew they were comming back. then one day you realize, they arent comming back you know? its been almost four years now and ill be in the town where i lived with her for 12 years, or ill see an old lady whos just like her at the store, or ill find something of hers packed away and ill cry. its completely normal. crying helps, so let it out babe, you'll see him again :)

im a senior in high school and theres this girl i wanna mess around with...but i have a girlfriend. She liked this guy who is kinda my friend but she completley gave up on him cause hes a fucking psycho. I just get with her cause ive been wanting to get with her since this summer. I mean if you were in her shoes would you do it? and how would i go about making it happen?

maybe you only want to mess around with this girl because you think shes good looking, and she possibly doesnt find using people, the cool thing to do these days? haha also, i dont think shes the type of girl that maybe you think she is. she may know your girlfriend and may happen to think shes a wonderful person, and wouldnt want to do that to someone? havent yall tried this before? she thinks your a really cool person but shes sort of talking to someone new as of a week or two ago..even though she hasnt really given up on the person she says she has. ??ok maybe you should just talk to her about it in person or where you can carry on a conversation about it..cause its getting a little F ing rediculously complicated to try and explain through an advice column. but dont get me wrong or anything, she thinks there could be something.. but like i said..this is a two person discussion.

..as if that wasnt confusing? sorry love, hope you have a wonderful weekend

Okay, I have like no self-esteem! I always feel ugly, stupid and like I am doing everything wrong. I can never do or say the right thing. Part if this, I know, is because when I was younger I was made fun of because of my larger than normal size (not that I have improved in the looks deparment since then, I am still very large). Since that I still feel horrible. Everyone always finds something wrong with me or what I do! I really try to hide all of these insecurities but sometimes they just slip out. Everyone is always cracking fat jokes and stupid jokes even my friends, peers, and teachers!What should I do? I am only 13!

only you can change the way you look, physically and mentally. i want to tell you that you should be happy with the way you are, inside and out because your are beautiful..no matter what all of those shallow people say. (those people end up no where in life by the way..you should feel sorry for them because they are the way they are) you were born here to be and look exactly the way you do..not to look like some skinny bimbo in your art class, not to have jessica simpsons hair..to be you. and i wish i could tell you that thats enough. but in todays world im afraid it just isnt. you need to learn to rise above it all and if you can do that, then ultimately youll be happy and youll love yourself, and people will love you for that. if your having such a big problem with your weight, excersise. talk to your parents about how your feeling or just simply metion losing wight, and im sure they will help you as much as they can. i would suggest jogging, but youd need a partner for your age..so just talk to your parents. i hope you can realize how wonderful you are. good luck with school :)
