Hey, I'm Emily. I'm a nineteen year-old college student. I decided to make one of these things because my planned college major will be counceling of some sort.I'm not easily embarassed, so ask anything you want. No question is too personal, too strange, or on a subject that I wouldn't talk about.

I did have to choose three "favorite categories", but please don't think that my abilities are limited to them. I know some about eating disorders/body image, religion problems (I often have those myself), drug issues or questions (experience is the best teacher. . .)and, of course, I can help out with any sort of relationship with anyone.
I dabble in a little bit of everything.
I hope I can help you.

I'm going to a My Chemical Romance concert in a couple days. Can anyone tell me who's been to one of these concerts what happened to them and what to expect? Also, how many songs do they usually play, do they usually have merch. stores and is it easy to work your way to the front of the crowd? Thanks! I'll rate 5s for good answers! (link)
MCR is a great band live. I've seen them twice. The first time I saw them was at a pathetic little venue here in town. This was before they got really popular. I imagine when you see them, it'll be more like the 2nd time I saw them; huge stadium-type place, lots of 13 year-old teeny boppers who think they're hardcore because they wear black eyeliner and write mediocre teenage poetry. . . so expect a bunch of kids to run around and shriek "GERARD! GERARD!" It is easy to work your way to the front of the stage, but you have to be persistant and aggressive. PUSH people. Good luck.


what are some lyrics that are like taking back sunday? like give me some bands that have lyrics like taking back sunday ..thanks! (link)
Try a band called Brand New. They're way better TBS.


what does it mean " boys like you are a dime a dozen" and yes i know its from a song (link)
Ah, Taking Back Sunday.
It means that "I can get another guy just like you in no time. You're common."


im bored any websites i could go to (link)

Well my boyfriend of 6 months recently went off to college and things are fine we are working that part out and are for the most part, ok with the distance. But he is always telling me about these "hott chicks" he saw or talked to. He also was telling me of how his roomates ex lets him take naked pictures of her and I replied with a "Well thank you for telling me that, I needed to know (sarcasm)" and he also told me that she was going to come over and strip for them. Then told me that he was joking. I just dont know what to do, or how to approach him about it. I really want this to work but it might put a strain on our relationship if he continues it and GAH its pissing me off!!

Thank you! I will rate high for good answers:D (link)
Honey, this guy is a loser.
Ditch him.
Believe it or not, there are guys out there who will treat you right. You are not being treated right in your situation. He isn't respecting you as his girlfriend or as a girl in general.


This is the problem! My parents don't let me have a boyfriend(but I have one anyways.) Now my boyfriend lives quite far away, and i never get to see him. Should I break up with him or stay together with him. What should I do? (link)
I know this from experience; long distance relationships take A LOT to keep going. I would end this relationship to save myself and my partner the emotional turmoil that is to come if I were you. Don't keep it unless you think you can handle it.


I'm an Aethiest. I strongly believe that there is no god. I respect other people's religions, and I don't try to convert people or anything. Now, I've been in scouting for years. Lots of years. From a Tiger Cub Scout in 1st grade to a First Class scout now (I'm kind of slow with scouting). Anyway, the requirement for every class that says to live the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your every day life is now being enforced. My parents made me describe each part of the Law and Oath in great depth. When we reached Brave and Clean, I was starting to slip up. And then we reached Reverent.

Boy Scouts expects everyone to believe in some sort of god, and be straight. Gays and Aethiests have been kicked out in the past. And since Boy Scouts is a private thing, government can't interfere. People have tried to sue and lost the case. Now, I want to keep scouting. I love being a Boy Scout. Plus, it'll look good on my job application forms when I'm old enough that it won't be against child labor laws. =P So my options are:

a) Quit scouting (I don't want to. Really.)

b) Believe in a god (I'm not going to change my beliefs because of this. It's not in human nature.

c) Lie about my religion (Also against the Scout Oath. Not good.)

So obviously, I'm screwed. What should I do? It's putting so much pressure on me... (link)
What do you value more? A good job application or a complete betrayal of your (lack of) faith/ beliefs?

If you don't agree with the boy scout "docterine", why be a part of it?

If you lie about your religion, you may regret it. I was confirmed into the Lutheran church when I was in 8th grade; I had serious issues with what the church believed and what I believed at the time, but I agreed to be confirmed because my whole family would have been devistated otherwise. I now regret that decision and I realize that I should have been true to myself.

This is an easy problem. You just have to decide where your values lie.
Good luck.


I don't know what's wrong with me but i always feel like i have to cry. I don't think its depression. Then again it could be. Maybe it's just that something's missing. I get annoyed fast, when i would just let it pass before. And eveybody seems to be agitating me. Maybe it's that i'm lonely, or that im just sad. Can someone help me?
sad and falling down* (link)
These are some symptoms of depression:

-a feeling of hopelessness/helplessness
-a feeling of guilt
-change in your appetite/losing or gaining weight
-lack of interest in friends/family/activities
-changing sleep patterns; sleeping all the time/never sleeping
-thoughts of suicide

Hope this helps.


how do u play "hard to get" to a guy you like..? (link)
Tease him.


okay this is a gross question but okay here it goes. when a guy fingers/eats out a girl do they cum??? where does it come from on the vagina? & also if a guy rubs a girls vagina do they cum? and where, how do you know its not pee? (link)
I'm going to try to get through this as painlessly and as tasteful as I can. It seems you have a few questions.
When a girl is sexually stimulated, her vagina moistens. This is a product of revolution; her brain assumues sex will follow foreplay, so it prepares her for and easy entrance by a penis. Although it is possible for a girl to "cum", or ejaculate, this is a rare occurance. When it does happen, a little bump inside you called a G-spot is stimulated.
The "stuff" that comes out of the vagina to moisten it is not released in the same area as urine, the uvula.
You can tell it isn't pee because it looks, feels, and smells completely different.

I hope this helped.


ok so.. im 15/F, and the other night my boyfriend hinted (very openly) that we should have sex. and well im ok with it, but im a virgin and hes not. and well i dont know what to do, and i mean what if there are other people around (yeah most likely we'd be at a party with his friend, and his friends girlfriend who have sex like everywhere). and yeah well i dont exactly know what im asking, so im sorry for that but anything.. i mean anything would help. (link)
Sex can be a wonderful thing if it's CONSENTUAL. Don't have sex with him if you're hesitant; if you're not hesitant and you understand that possible consiquences of being sexually active, go for it.


I'm writing an essay on who inspires me and I'm doing my grandma when i said "grandma" in the essay would it be capital? For example My grandma...Captil or not? (link)
When you use the word "my" in front of grandma, it isn't capitalized.

You will, however, want to capitalize grandma when you're sort of calling her grandma in a way that would make it sound like her name. Like this:
"Yesterday, Grandma said I was her favorite in the family."
or like this
"Dad, Grandma and Grandpa left the door open."
Hope this helps.


I'm going to get a physical done next week. I got the last physical done about 2 years ago, and I remember they looked down my pants to see if I was healthy "down there." My question is, am I supossed to shave my pubic hair or not? I don't wanna look like an idiot when they look "down there."

Thnks bunches.. (link)
There really isn't a "supposed to" in this situation. It's more of a personal preference. No one will think you're an idiot either way. If you do choose to shave, though, make sure you do so carefully. Ingrown hairs in that area are not tings that you will ever want to experience.


Alright, I have a question about being popular.

Well, not exactly. You see, I'm not obsessed and crazed and having my whole life devoted to becoming popular. Its just, the popular people are all so out-going and aren't afraid to do anything and they speak their minds. How do I do this? I'm so shy in real life, but I'm actually out-going online. But in real life its just like, "woah, who's that girl? She's so shy." nobody knows me.

How do I improve this? I just wish I could be out-going and be my real self without being so scared all the time.

Please help? (link)
My professor gave me and my theater class some very good advice: "Fake it till you make it." You're not out-going? Pretend you are. Convince yourself you are. You need convidence to be out-going. If you don't have any, pretend you do. Fake it till you make it. If you step into that mindset, you'll soon start to believe that you actually are outgoing, and if you believe it long enough, you will be.
Also, think about this: What is there to be afraid of? Being shy is a defense mechanism. Don't worry so much about what will happen if you say something. Chances are, it will be for the better.
Hope this helps.


well i just started dating this kid, let's call him john, and we are always hanging all over eachother. we just blend well physically, and are always caught kissing and hugging. i love being around him because i feel loved, but when we talk on the phone or it is just me and him we have hardly any conversation going. alot of the time we are just quiet when we are alone. how bad is this? is it a big deal or just something that will fade? should i reconsider our relationship? (link)
I've been in this situation, and I know it's a sucky one.
. . How bad is it? Well, that depends. Do you want a relationship with this guy? If you do, you may want to reconsider. Getting all cuddly is nice and all, but at the end of the day, communication is what makes relationships last.
Maybe you just don't know what to say to each other because you're nervous or you don't know where to start. I think you should go to a bookstore and pick up one of those "book of questions". These are books that are just questions to ask your friends and to start converstations. Buy one and see if you can't start a conversation with it. You can usually find them with the trivia books.
You could also both fill out one of those annoying internet survey things that ask a bunch of questions about yourself, and then talk about it.
Hope this helps.


idk wut category this goes under. :oP

BUT
is it bad to sleep with eyeliner/maschera on? (link)
That depends on your definition of bad.
It isn't going to harm you, if that's what you mean. . that is, unless you wear contacts. If that's the case, there is a small possibility for infection. If I were you, I'd just get a makeup-removing cleanser to wash your face with at night. That way, you can take your makeup off while not having to do anything extra.
Hope this helps.


So, next year I want to try out for my school's Show Choir. My voice seems ok, but I want to know how to get it better, be able to sing higher notes etc. So, any tips anyone has would be helpful. 5's for good advice. (link)
Before I took voice lessons, I had a 4 oct. vocal range. Now that I've been taking them for 4 years, I have a 7 oct. vocal range. I would strongly suggest you look into taking lessons. They help.
If you can't take them, it helps to sing as much as you can, call the time. Singing is just like anything else; the more you do it, the better you'll be. Good luck.


Ok 4 about 2 weeks I have been loosing alot of weight! I mean like I have lost 7 or 8lbs in that time period. What I have been doing is not eating ANYTHING from 7:00am to 3:30pm and I have pratacly been starving my self. When I think of Food I get so hungray. But I don't feel like eating. I weighted 220lbs and now I weigh about 212. Is this healthy. I eat when I get home. No Smartasses please. Thanxs (link)
I have yet to see the actual question in this, but I'm gonna give you my knowledge.

I've had weight struggles for my entire life.
If you ever start eating normally again (and you will, because no one can eat like that forever) you will gain back all of the weight you lost and then some, at a very quick rate.

If you want to lose weight, I suggest trying to change your lifestyle instead of going on a little non-eating trip. You'll keep the weight off if you do that.


okay, well just recently i entered highschool. i love it every way. but the only problem is that my friends, my old ones from middle school. they bareally talk to me. we all used to hangout every single weekend. and now they are all interested about being popular and hanging out with the right croud. and it gets me really upset because they all hangout together and im home alone and they dont even ask me to hangout when they know im sitting home all alone. my best friend still even hangs out with them and i ask her to hangout and shes like i cant im sorry and this is an every weekend thing. (link)
If your friends are that shallow, you don't want them to be your friends anyway.
I suggest finding out what you're good at (a sport, band, theater, whatever), joining an activity, and making friends with the other people there that will have something in common with you. It sounds like you just want a sense of belonging along with some decent friends, and I think this would be a good way of helping you with that.


ok i am 13 female and i haven't gotten my period yet! i was wondering if masturbating has something to do with it? because i masturbate about 4 times a month its just that i am scared because i havent goten my period at all yet. please help me if you can.
i rated high for good answers (link)
Sweetheart, your period has absolutely NOTHING to do with masterbation. Nothing.
And you don't need to be scared. Everyone starts at different times. I was 11, my best friend was 15. It really just depends on your body. You're perfectly healthy though.
