Q: aight well im going out with this guy who is great. but i hooked up with one of my best guy friends last night and i made out with him accidentally. i dunno what to do. should i tell my boyfriend what happened???
You have 2 options as I see it. You can:

A. Not tell your boyfriend, and feel like a bad slut for a while (which you're not, you're just human...everyone makes mistakes) But the downsides of that are as following--your concious is never going to let you let that one go...and you're going to feel rather weird (guilty) while around your boyfriend for awhile. I can't think of any upsides...other then he won't be mad at you

B. Tell your boyfriend. Downsides: He could possibly break up with you/ get pissed for awhile. But the upsides are that your relationship will be stronger in the end (because no relationship is strong if it's just peaches and cream) And your concious will feel muuuuuch better.

I can't choose for you. But I gave you your options.

Q: has anyone failed their permit test? i am going to get mine this friday and i was just wanting to know what i should expect. like, what kind of questions will they ask? i know people say they are just common sense questions and to choose the answer that they would think and not what you would think. lol..i know thats confusing but..i was just wondering what questions that it asks. thanks!
There...should be an online DMV site that you could look at. There is in Virginia. Mine, they just had sample quizes...and I took them a few times. Honestly, you just have to think. Make sure to study the signs over and over until you get them. But...as for the actual test. Just study the pamphet a bit. I mean, I went to bed at like...4 in the morning. Woke up at 7, and took the test, and passed. Sooo....unless you really haven't paid attention while someone is driving, I think you'll be fine.

Q: I didn't know what category to put this is... but what are your opinions on tall girls.. I am 13 and 5"8" do u think thats weird cuz im starting to feel self consious but every1 is sayin its good cuz i can be a model.. any thought? think boys will like me or be intimdated?
My 13 year old sister is 5'8, and my best friend is 5'9, and neither one of them have trouble finding guys. I have no doubt that guys will be "intimidated" but the ones that are aren't worth your time anyway. Eventually, everyone will catch up with you, promise. Guy's WILL be over 5'8. So, it's good to be tall.

Q: Hi Guys, Last week I broke up with my girl friend. We enjoyed sex a lot and I have become habitual to sex. Now the first need for me is to find out a girl who are more interested in romance/sex. How can I do it. Please suggest.
As...addicting as sex is, I dunno, if you're looking for that, great. But if you ever want to get into a deep emotional meaningful (hey, it's worth a shot) again, my best suggestion would suggest taking a few months hiatus from sex, and relationships in general. Until you figure out what you REALLY want. Maybe I'm just immune to the fact that guys would just want sex. Do what you want, but that's MY suggestion.

Q: My mom says I may have mono! What is mono and how can i cure it?! I am going to the doctor's today! And i'm a singer and I have aperformance next week do u think i will be able to perform by then or not??
Mono is a disease that you'll always have (so I'm told) Your mother can't tell you if you have mono or not, only the doctor can. The symptoms are a REALLY bad strep throat...ummm...you're tired alot, and you feel naceous the first few days. EXTREMELY naucous. I had it last year. It can last for approx 6 months. You just have to take alot of time to recover. Yes, I do believe you'll be able to preform, if you take it slow the week before. REAL SLOW. It all depends on your body too. :-P

Q: Ok, I have to call this boy for my friend, But I also have to ask him out, I dont know what to say, and what do I say if his dad picks up, like should I say "Is Jaylon there?" Or what, But what if he picks up??
If you're friend can't ask him out herself, she shouldn't go out with him. Du-ur.

Q: how do u lose weight... not weight, but fat in ur inner thighs??
Lay on your back and put your legs up against the wall (make sure your butt is up flat agaist the wall too) and stretch your legs out. And every five minutes move them farther down. :-P Do this for about 30 minutes a day, and expect to see results in about two weeks- four weeks.-

Q: I'm almost 15 years old, and I'm female. I've always been very open about myself. Recently i found myself attracted to both boys AND girls, and I want to be open about it. My parents are very supportive, but how do i make the bashers at school leave me alone, if and when i DO come out to them? I want to show GAY PRIDE!
There is a difference between pride and force. Don't go around with a big rainbow on your chest and say HEY- I"M BI. That would just be stupid. It's not even about gay bashing...it's about forcing people to learn everything. People will be a whole lot more open to it, if you don't go around mentioning in every other sentence ...I'm bi. I have a habit of doing it with my vegetarianism...and it's become a bother to some people. So that is my advice. Be proud of who you are. Don't flaunt it. People who know you, and love you will know...and they'll be okay with it. :D

Q: me and my friend both like guys from different states... and they like us back... we have so much fun with them... when we see them... should we feel guilty if we dated another guy?
plz help!
The question is...do you feel guilty? If the answer is yes...Read on: It's a matter of what you consider these guys...are they just fuck buddies (you know what I mean) when they come up...or do you both consider it a sort of relationship. If you both consider it a relationship..then it's not really right of you to be dating other guys. But if it's just a fling...then sure. You have no attachment to him, but if he comes up again...and you have a boyfriend...you shouldn't mess around.

Q: ive liked this boy for awhile and my friend told him for me...but now hes going out with this other girl and it hurts me...i know that sounds selfish but it really hurts becuase ive liked him so long and i liked him a lot...i just need help on how to get over him and think about something else besides him all the time!
Woah. Well, I know this won't help you in the slightest...but this has happened to me on two occasions...(they both were a bit more mature than this situation) But the thing that helped me...was I left. The first one, I completely moved out of the state. And the second time...I transferred schools. So if neither of those are possible (which is likely) Avoid them. Seriously. NOT talking to people...and not hanging out with them...really helps things. Eventually you will move on, but the worst thing to do is spend time with that person. That just takes longer.

Q: I'm 14/f and I've never had a real boyfriend. My only "boyfriend" if you can him that lasted for 1/2 day and I broke up with him because I get all nervous around guys that like me. I get really sweaty and light headed, sometimes my stomach starts to hurt too. Is this a normal reaction to guys that like me? I have also never kissed a boy. What is the average age for first kisses?
You will grow out of it. I'm 15, and have only had one real boyfriend...and I don't really consider him counting. You'll get nervous and lightheaded, but you will grow out of it. And if you don't...eventually if you spend enough time with that guy...you'll get used to being around him and so on...you catch my drift. And first kisses are special..don't waste it on any tom dick or harry.

Q: where do u think is a good place 4 a ffirst date?? ( romantic)
Kings Dominion!!!--(or a themepark/fair)-- If that's not possible...I suggest a walk in the city (like a certain place your town has that has food...candy shops...clothing stores...fun stores) If that is also not possible...the mall is a great place. If you go around to certain shops and find fun things to do. For instance, I went on a date, and found a condom rose in spencers. It was freaking priceless. Have fun.

Q: well...i am a cutter. i have been cutting for about a year now. by the way i am 13 and female. i want to know why i feel so great after i do cut. its like nothing is wrong after i cut. i have tried to stop....but it has never worked.

also... do u know where i could find other people that are self addmitted cutters?
Hmmm...you feel so great because that's seriously the concept of cutting. You're having all this emotional pain...and then once you bring it out in the open...it doesn't feel so bad anymore. It's THERE right there on your arm/leg/stomach...or where ever the hell you cut yourself. The same thing can be done by telling someone...or writing. I KNOW this sounds lame, but don't follow our emo generation. Seriously. Everyone has pain. And everyone deals with it in a different way. Don't bring harm on yourself because you feel pain that the rest of the world has to deal with on a daily basis. That's stupid. :D But you can find other cutters...alot of different places. I tend to think the "open ones" the ones that you can find do it for attention. You can find them on LJ communities...blurty communities...just about anywhere. Good luck. And really think about trying to express your emotion in some other form but self injury. It isn't "cool" don't let anyone tell you differently.

Q: where can you get good backgrounds?
Good backgrounds? I think the best idea would be to find a copyright-free image on the internet..upload it to a picture site like photobucket.com and then use it as your backgroud image. It looks awesome, promise.

Q: on livejournals how do you change the comment text
I'm assuming you'd have to know your html stuff. I've never heard of anyone doing so?

Q: im 14..female and i weigh 124 lbs...i hav curves definatly...well im nto happy with my body..i want to be size 00 and small...all the guys like small gurls..i look like a cow in a bathing suit and am starting to get cellulate on thighs/butt...i feel fat in anything i wear now...my point is is that im thinkin about going annorexic...bc i have a really pretty face and a ugly body if i go annorexic i will be pretty...maybe not full blown annorexic..but like not alot of food...a little bites here and there...but not alot @ all...and not makeing myself throw up..just not eating....how soon do u think i will lose weight...plz dont say "dont do this blah blah" bc i just want to know how much weight do u think i will lose in 2wks? plz answer that ?!!
You aren't going to lose shit in 2 weeks by not eating. Take it from me. I did what you did last summer. ALL FUCKING SUMMER and I lost about 8 pounds. But guess what? I got waaaaaaaay too skinny and my face was completely hollow. I looked sick. Now I'm 5'6 130lbs and I'm completely happy, because I like myself. And I'm not fat, I just have something to grab. Being a 00 is disgusting. Aim for a size 2 or 4 atleast. Guys don't want a toothpick, I promise you. They want some body.

Q: is wakling just (or close) as good for you as running? like can i loose weight from walking 20 minutes a day or does it have to be running? thanks i rate!!
Well...I figure you're a smart girl, and you do realize that running is more exercise..and cardio and such. But I've been told something once...walking is great if you WALK...power walk will help you lose weight if you do it enough. I'd do it more than 20 minutes a day if you are expecting results. Maybe 40-50? But do as you wish. I wish you the best of luck on your quest to be thinner. But running is extremely good for your body, and tones you everywhere. So if you're considering running, start slow...and get better. You won't regret it. :D

Q: i have a gigantic crush (not love) on this guy. but i know nothing will come out of it. i don't want to like him, but my heart is leading my head right now. how do i stop liking him?
That is a toughy. But it's normal. Most girls go through it... *sighs* All you can do is look at other guys. It'll take some time, trust me. There is a difference between dream and reality. And sometimes you have to go for the reality. My suggestion to you is...yeah, just look around, and see what else is out there. YOU ARE allowed to like more than one person.

Q: is it wrong to flirt and make out and stuff w/ a guy when you aren't dating..? like little benafit buddys?
It's your life. You're entitled to do whatever the fuck you want. And I know that's not good advice, but it's the only advice that's out there. I've done stuff with guys that I haven't gone out with. *shrugs* Does it make me less of a good person? No. Do I feel like a slut? No. But...do I feel right about doing it? Sometimes. Not always. I do what I want when I want to, and you should think of having that same outlook. Don't do something if you feel it's wrong. And do something if you think it's right. Simple as that. And don't regret something you can't fix. Accept it. I probably got a little too deep into this, and you're probably raising your eyebrow a few sentences back. But I'm right.

Q: I need to look good for my new school which starts tomorrow! I need help on the following things:

-I have a little acne! Is there anything to remove them before school?

-I have hair on my arms/legs! Are there any home remedies to lighten them coz i cant go to the store?

-A new hairdo! I have long brown hair, and it's not layered. I have never dyed/frosted it, and I want to have nice hair without putting harsh chemicals to my hair.
1. I once got told that putting nail polish remover on zits takes the redness out in about...12 hours (But I'm NOT sure on that because I never tried it myself) My biggest suggestion is to use green cover up (I REALLY hope you have it) This is a staple to get out redness, you can buy it anywhere. Even at a grocery store, and won't cost you more than 5 dollars. If not, a light eye base or matching concealer should work. If you do have it though, take the green concealer, use that first..dab dab dab, and then put the foundation over it.

2. Hair on your arms? No dear. Don't do anything to that. Legs? Just find a razor around your house. DO NOT shave dry though. If something wrong happens just wear jeans. But yeah. If you can find shaving cream, I highly reccomend that. DO NOT shave your arms. That will NOT work, and you'll become all gross and stubley before you know it.

3. Take the two strands in right above your ear (not the top) and loosely put them in a clip (or pony) behind. This looks extremely elegant. Or wet your hair, and scrunch it with mouse. (NOT TOO MUCH or your hair will look greasy)

I do hope I helped. Ask me for anything else if you need to. -
