I think you need to get unembarrased and tell your mom about it. You could have a chemical imbalance within your body that causes it to secrete that funny odor. Your mom will be able to take you to the doctor, and the doctor will be able to diagnose what is wrong with you. The solution could be as simple as a pill or a shot every few weeks/months. The sooner you talk to your mother, the faster you can get this fixed.

Yes, that would be too cheesy to wear the shirt with her sisters favorite slogan on it. I suggest that you wear something classy but comfortable at the same time. I suggest a pair of nice flare legged, tapered jeans with a silk camisole shirt. Let the shirt be an eye-popping color like aqua or turquoise. Pair it with a pair of high heels, a nice belt, a relly cute purse, and some jewelry, and you will be all set to go. Don't forget to give yourself a manicure and pedicure also. You don't want your hands and feet to look scary.

No, you are not wrong at all for being offended. This girl is only using you as a means of convience. When her "other" friend is not around, that is when she wants to be your best friend. A true best friend waits for you regardless of her other friends. She talks to you when other people are around, and she doesn't use you when it is convient for her. You need to ask her why she acts that way. Let her know that if she can't be a true friend to you all of the time, then you don't need a part time friend.

That is easy, stop telling all of your friends. The only person putting your love life out to everyone is you. When you stop talking to everybody about who you have a crush on, then you won't be embarrassed when that guy doesn't have the same feelings for you.

Stop talking to him until he can respect your wishes. Tell him that you like him as just a friend, and nothing more, and that it irritates you whn he calls you girlfriend or says that he loves you. Let him know that until he can respect your wishes then you don't want to talk to him period. If he continues to say that on AIM, then block him from you AIM list until he realizes that you aren't playing with him. He should get the picture soon.

There is no point into trying to rush and find a boyfriend. I believe in the saying: There is someone for everyone. The right guy will come along, and like you for you. He won't care how tall you are, or whether or not you have braces on your teeth. He will like you for your personality and your brains. Your "friend" is not a friend at all. What kind of a friend would tell you that you'll never have a true BF because you are not pretty or smart enough? Keep being yourself, and Mr. Right will come along right on time.

You need to break up with your boyfriend before the movies. It is not fair to him for you to lead him on. You need to nip this in the bud, and do it now before his feelings are hurt to drastically. Explain to him exactly why you want to break up with him. Don't leave him the dark. Tell him that you would like to remain friends with him, but you don't see him as anything more then a friend right now. If your boyfriend is understanding and if he cares about you at all, then he will let you go without the drama. Since he is shy, try to talk to him privately, away from a crowd. That way, he won't be embarrassed in front of his friends for being dumped.

You are so welcome! :) I am glad that I could help you. It makes me feel good on the inside when my advice works for the people that need it the most. Take care of yourself and I hope that you and him are happy for a very long time.
~ Much love.

I suggest you tell your mother and your aunt that you don't want to wait until May 19 for a second opinion and that you want to go ahead and get your braces put on. It is not your aunts job, nor is it her place, for her to yell at you. It is your teeth, and if you feel comfortable with what your orthodontist said, then you don't need a second opinion. You need to tell your mom that you don't appreciate your aunt yelling at you and that you would like it if she talked to her. Your aunt sounds like a control freak and she needs to be put in her place.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate for you to be just 15. It looks as if you are trying to do too many things all at once. What you need to do is cut back on some things. List everything that you do. Now go through that list and put them in order. Put what is most important at the top and then proceed with the list until you have everything listed in order of importance. Now, whatever is at the bottom, the last two or three things, cut them out for now. Just until the summer. Use your weekends to relax too. You have to make time for relaxation. If you work too many hours, cut back on those. If you don't like babysitting, try not to do it so often. Your well being comes first before anything else.

I think that you should hold off on professing your love to your friend until you find out if she has the same feelings for you. If she doesn't share your feelings, then singing a song to her or reciting a poem coudl weird her out, and ultimately you could loose a friend. What exactly are the signals that she is sending you? Does she show that she likes you as more then a friend? Or are you confusing her friendship love for you as something else? You need to be 100% sure that your friend is just not using you to experiment, or if she really did like experimenting with you. I noticed that you said that you liked it, but you did not mention once if she said that she liked it. Talk to her, and try to see where she is coming from first.

Your theory could be true. She could honestly be hiding her feelings for you. What you need to do is ask her for the truth. Ask her if she is afraid to be with you because of her fear of being hurt. Let her know that you would never hurt her. Explain to her that you have feelings for her, and that you felt a connection with her that weekend. Overall, you can't make a girl like you. If she insist that her feelings aren't as strong as yours and that she still doesn't want to be with you, then you have to let her go, as hard as that may seem. For yu to stop caring about her, you have to stop spending so much time with her. Your heart needs time to heal and get over her sudden rejection of you. Talking with her only time will only add fuel to the fire. I am hoping for the best in this situation.

The best thing for you to do is talk to your husband. Let him know how you are feeling. Seven years is a long time to be married, (CONGRATULATIONS!), and sometimes romance and communication between spouses can come to a standstill. It is not just up to your husband to keep the spark in your relationship though. There are things that you can do to show him that you love him. One day, hire a babysitter to watch your children, and take your husband to a nice resturant. One that has a dress code or one where you and him can't wear jeans and a t-shirt too. When you talk to your husband, let him know that you feel as if he doesn't love you like he use to. Explain to him that you feel that your marriage is in a romantic rut and that you want to try something new to spice it up. Something new could be regular dinner dates, or days that you and him spend together alone on the couch cuddling and watching a movie. I am sure that with four children, things do get pretty hectic around the house and it could be hard for you and him to find alone time together. Therefor, you have to make a lone time with him. Communication is the key in any relationship. As long as you talk to him, you will maintain an open relationship with him.

I suggest that you talk to him on another day, a day different from your marriage talk, about what his coworker said. That way, he won't forget about the conversation about your marriage and focus all of his attention to the rumors that are going around about him. It is important that you tell him about the workplace rumors, so he can go to his job and get them to stop.

I know exactly what you are going through. I am going to give you my contact info. just in case you need to talk to somebody:

I too had my first child when I was young. I was only 18. (I got pregnant when I was 17.) Me and my then boyfriend got married when I was about five months pregnant. Your mom is right, your child is your responsibility, but you are your mother's child also, and that makes you her responsibility. I can understand that your parents are upset and disappointed with you, but what's done is done. You can't go back and change it, you have to deal with it now.

First of all, I suggest that you talk to your mom, one-on-one, and tell her that you know you made a mistake, but that you love your daughter and you want to keep her. Let her know that you love her too, and instead of her being so negative towards you, she could at least try to be there for you when you need her the most. Let her know that you are still her daughter, but that you are also human, and like any human you make mistakes. Tell her that you wish that she could accept you and still show her love towards you.

Second, I suggest you get in touch with the babies father, and talk to him. Let him know that he helped make her, and he needs to help take care of her. He needs to babysit her sometimes so you can study, get some rest, or have some free time to yourself. Let him know that babies aren't free. That they require food, clothing, diapers, and that he needs to contribute. If you can, try to speak to some kind of counselor about putting him on child support. He has to take responsibility for his actions too, not just you.

I am not sure exactly what a council flat is, but it sounds like you have it rough. You are on your own at 16 with a young baby. I can only imagine how stressful and hard that is. Do you have friends that are willing to come over for a few hours a day a couple times a week to help you out? Do you have other family members that are willing to lend a helping hand?

This first year is going to be a hard time for you, I know this. But you have to have faith that you are going to make it through it. Prayer helps.

I wish only the best for you and your daughter, and contact me if you need some more advice, someone to talk to, or just a friend.

Wait for the perfect moment and the perfect guy hon. These are your memories, not someone else's, and you are right. Your first kiss should be saved on someone who you care about. Let those guys keep calling you a prude, sticks and stones. Obviously they are not worthy, because if they liked you enough, then they would wait.

No, you shouldn't do anything at all. I know that that is your family, but this is not your place, nor is it your business to tell on your uncle. What is done in the dark will eventually come to the light. Your uncle could be having an affair, and if so, one day your aunt will find out. But that is something that she will have to do on her own. If you tell on your uncle, then you could risk him, or your aunt, or even both of them being mad at you. Not to mention your cousin. I know it may be hard, but this is one secret you will have to keep secret.

This is going to be blunt and rude, but that is how it has to be sometimes. Stop trying to blame the guys here, and keep your legs closed. Point blank. If you don't want to have sex with someone, then you shouldn't. No matter how much they push up on you. And the only reason your so-called "friend" Kellen is even doing that is because he knows that you will eventually give in to him. Now he has gone and told his friend Andy about you and him, and now Andy wants a piece. Do you not see that Kellen is using you, and trying to get his friends to do the same? Tell them to leave you alone and stop trying to make advances towards you because you are not having sex with them, or anyone else, anymore.

How long did you date your husband before you and him got married? Your husband sounds like he has a serious problem, one that you can't even solve for him. I think his first hint to you was the fact that he doesn't want to have sex with you anymore. He claims that he is not interested in having sex, yet he can sit down in front of a computer and talk about sex with men and women he doesn't even know? If you can't recall the last time you and him made love, and he gets upset when you try and talk to him about it, then he is disregarding your feelings and doesn't care whether or not you are hurting. Not only that, but he is continuing to go on the internet and talk to other people about sex, even when he knows you are not comfortable with it. Yes, something is wrong in this situation. I would suggest trying marriage counseling, but I am not too sure how much that would work in this situation. Your husband is very selfish, and is only considering his emotions and his feelings. If you have threatened to have sex with someone else, and he says that he will leave, then maybe that is what he needs to do. You sound like a very successful women that can and will make it on your own without him. There is no point in having someone in your life that makes you hurt and miserable, that makes you hold your thoughts and emotions in for fear of upsetting him. He is like a stranger in your house, and maybe he needs to leave your house. If he has been married twice before and his own children don't bother to have anything to do with him, then maybe you need to take a clue from them.

The best thing to do in this situation is to type up a guest list of everyone you invited, print it out (in alphabetical order), and put an adult at the entrance door. For people to get in, they have to give their name and the invitation that you gave them to your party. No invitation, no admittance.

Never mix work with pleasure. It would not be a wise decision to date anyone that works with you. Your company policy strictly prohibits you and him from dating. If you tried to sneak around and do it and someone on a higher level finds out, then you would be the one most likely to loose your job for the simple fact that he is a manager and a more valuable asset to the company. You might be wasting your time in ths situation because it sounds as if he takes his job seriously. There is a chance that you could get passed up for a promotion this time around, making for an akward situation between you and him if you did continue to flirt with him. I also noticed that you stated that he likes another girl. Just becasue she is over him, doesn't mean that he is over her. Take this guy as a lost and try to find someone who does not work with you.

I am a 22 year old mother of two that has had to grow up a lot faster then her years. I have been married for four years, but now am seperated from my significant other due to lack of his being able to handle a mature relationship. I can relate to almost anyone, and have been sought out, both online and off, for my advice. I answer all questions truthfully and honestly. If I don't know an answer to a question or I think other resources would be helpful, then I go into researh mode until I find an answer or the proper resource. I aspire to be a life coach in the future, because I like helping people make decisions to make their life better for their future. I am here not only to answer advice questions on this site, but to also chat with you if you feel like you need a more indepth one-on-one help.

Here are some of the guidelines I go by when answering advice questions:

• I am always truthful in any advice I give.
  
• I would never give anyone any advice that I would not follow myself.
  
• I take into consideration your feelings when answering questions, but I will not sugar coat anything. If you are wrong, then you are wrong and I will tell you so.
  
• If I cannot answer a question to the best of my ability, then I will point you to someone who can, or I will research my butt off until I find a helpful solution for you.
