Alright if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways alright to get right down to it here is my problem, I moved from New York to Illinois to be with my boyfriend of 6 years. Well before i moved i always had a little thing for his best friend Nick. The problem is this my boy is great i love him to death but i have troubles being uhm sexually his.. im a bit premiscuous i know its bad im a tease i cant help it call me a slut and you wont get rated. Well iv slept with Nick when my boy goes off to work and i want to stop it.. but i think im falling for nick and falling out of love with my boy. Help me give me advice... (link)
| |
Thats a tuff one. You cannot change your feeling I think you deff. need to talk to Nick about what his feelings are. He may not be into you at all except for the fact of you and him having sex. There are more important things to a relationship than sex. I know you know that if you have been in a relationship for as long as you have. In my oppinion I think that you need to stay with your guy you have now unless he is treating you wrong just hang around a while you may just be getting bored. If you are dead set on quiteing sleeping with Nick then set limits for yourself like not to see him when your boy isnt around because then you will not be in that situation. If you are needing something new and fresh for sex try diff. positions and things like that. I do not know if you relize this or not but hunny you are cheating on him. It can be hard to face yeah I know from experience, just try and get yourself out of situations that you will be alone with Nick that is really all I can say and make sure you are spending quality time with your man. Im sure he cares alot about you and would probally FLIP if he knew about you and Nick. Also just rember if Nick is his bff then he might end up telling him about what you two have done if he ever gets mad at him or anything. Just something to think about. Feel free to come and talk to me if you need more help or anything. Good Luck!

what is the eaisest, most painless, safest, quickest way to learn a double back tuck on the trampoline?
I would prefer answers from other gymnasts just as a saftey thing and i dont want to be taken advice from people who can hardly hold a handstand or even do a roundoff.
THX!

There are several drills that I always have my kids do when teaching them... but if you need them in a hurry the best way to learn them is to do one tuck then do a jump and do another. The faster you get to be able to do this the easier it will be to get them. If you gym alows it you might ask to move a mat and put like a stinger on the top of the mat so if you fall then you wont get tramp burns. When you go to do it make sure you are high and you are setting, when you go after your first one keep rotating and pull yourself around. One thing that you might struggle with is learning when to open up because by habbit you will probally start opening up when you usually do for just one. Make sure you have a coach spotting you when you first start doing them, because they can help you get around faster and help you tuck more. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT START THEM WITHOUT A SPOT!!!! I have had a girl once try them with out letting my spot her because she was not listening and went before I was at the tramp, but ended up not rotating all the way and fell and broke a bone in her neck! That is not to scare you but to tell you that you can hurt yourself if you are not doing them correctly, just make sure that you have an adult spot until they think you are safe to do them on your own. Also dont try and learn them fast take your time to learn them right. Good luck and if you need more help feel free to drop one in the inbox :)

16/f My boyfriend and i have been going out for 6 months and it has been amazing, but before we met he used to drink and smoke. He doesnt remember some nights, and i know he would drink and then drive. yes i know, no me gusta =[ He also smoked, mainly cigarettes, and pot just once. He realized how bad it was for him and decided to stop, and he hasnt done anything since. (i am strongly against drugs and alchohol. i wouldnt date anyone who did those things, and he gave it up for me along with his benefit in mind. me=straightedge =]) He doesnt plan on it and i support him all the way. He deeply regrets doing any of it, and i've told him everybody makes mistakes, nobody's perfect blah blah blah, but i was wondering if anyone could think of anything i could tell him to make him understand that he shouldnt hate himself for making those mistakes. its hard to explain what i want to tell him, idk. he is the most amazing guy i've ever met and we love each other SO much, but he can't forgive himself for it. any thoughts? please and thank youu =] (link)
| |
well that is tuff because I know exactly what you mean about you know what to say just not how to put it. I think that next time the subject is brought up just be like we all make mistakes that is part of growing up. As long as you have learned your lesson then it dosent matter and as long as you dont go back to those old habbits. Make sure he know that you forgive him... I have learned that guys take repition.. When my husband asked me to marry him, i said yes of course and then he kept asking me like days later I still cant beleive you said yes are you for sure. They just need to know that you have completly forgiven him and that you care about him. Obviously it is still something that is deeply bugging him so he is going to need to overcome, that is a bad part of his life that I am sure he wants to forget but it is probally really hard and is something he regrets every day of his life. It will take him a while just give it time but the main thing I can tell you is just let him know you are there for him whenever and that everyone makes mistake and that you completly forgive him! I hope this helped a little I dont know what else to say to him sorry. Good luck though!

Well I just got my first period on November 1st, and then it was brown. So I knew it was my period, then later, I put in a pantiliner in case, then it was probably covered like umm. Half of it? In like light redishh. So I then put in a pad, and like nothing came out, it was like 2 spots. At night, I also put in a pad, and then there was like nothing. When I was at school, only like a bit, dried blood. That was like the second day. So then on the third day, i probably thought it might be more regular but no... When i use a pad, nothing comes out. When i use a pantiliner, then there is like blood. But not a lot. Now like today, i used a pad and same problem. NOTHING! and then pantiliner, then yes. Whats wrong? Will it get more normal the next time i get my period? oh yeah, and im 13/f. And im Canadian if that helps? (link)
| |
If it is your first period dont worry. It usually takes bout a year for it to get regular, also do not plan on it to come every moth either for about the first year. What you are seeing in the difference in the paintiliner and the pad is that the paintiliner is alot thinner than a pad so the pad is going to absorb more and it will go inbetween the bottume and the service where you see you will see more in the pantiliner it will show more because it is not as absorbant. Hope that makes since.

Hey guys
I went to planned parenthood the other day and they told me i should be taking my pills for about a week until they work. Does this mean it's okay to be taking the pills for 2 weeks (or a little more) and to have sex? I won't get pregnant right? well of course with birth control theres always a risk but i mean, the pills will be working by then right?
thanks (link)
| |
You should be safe to go ahead and have sex. Since I am not sure which pill you are taking I cannot say for sure but if the people at planned parenthood said to wait a week after taking it than im sure if it has been a week or more than you should be fine!
|
okay 1st thanks for the advice.
and im going to talk with my parenting teacher.
im actually verry excited for my baby to come. and today will offically be a month =D
its offical by the way im pregnant for sure.
i just got back from the docters.
uhmm i have a couple questions.
1. Around what month will i really pop.
2. Did people judge you at school when you really started showing.
3. was it really hard to leave the baby at home while you were at school.
4. how long were you out of school before//after having the baby.
5. did your friends react weird when you told them?
thanks sooo much for answering these.
im so happy.
but then again im nervous.
i think my parents are gonna hate me.
and my denny (father of baby) already told his parents that i could be pregnant...and they are preetttyyyy excited.
thansk again =D (link)
| |
Since you are still young it will take you longer to pop I think I really started to pop and show at about 5 months maybe a little sooner. Some people judged me at school. Just ignore them, a lot of people considered me a slut/whore and atomatically thought that I was sleeping with a lot of people when the truth was that I had only ever slept with my boyfriend. For a while it was hard to leave my baby at home when I returnede for school, but i knew she was going to be ok because my mom was with her, sometimes I took her to school with me, you may want to see what your schools policy on that is. I was allowed to bring her on days that my mom could not watch her, and it was pretty fun going to school and being a mom all at the same time and people do gain a lot of respect for you when you bring your baby to school with you. I even brought Ashley to school with me through the rest of my high school years even after she turned 1 and all people thought she was so adorable. I was out about 2 weeks before I was due and then I stayed home for about a month after i had her and I went into school like once a week to pick up work so that I would not get really far behind. If your boyfriend plans on having something to do with your baby, then he will probally want to stay out of school and be with you for say the first week thats what mine did and it really helped! Some of my friends did act weired when I told them but it was more of them being in shock. Some of my friends that I was not so close to kind of ignored me for a while but then slowly came back and talked to me again, also my really close friends backed me up and supported me all the way. I know that your parents are not going to hate you! You have to know that they will always love you no matter what happens. They might be dissapointed or mad for a while but in the end they will be excited and happy for you. That is a really good thing that Dennys parents are excited because that gives more hope that they will support you even if your parents do not. You have to keep in mind that different parents have different oppinions on things like this. I can understand why you are nervous I was too, and be prepaired for major cravings! lol it is one time in your life when you can acctually eat what ever you want and not look like a pig! Good luck with talking to your parents and if you want let me know as things progress and I can help you alot!

okay please dont judge me im begginnggg you..
but im 14 gonna be 15 in like 8 days.

i took one about 3 weeks ago.
i took another one just last week and that one also said positive.
i have no i dea what to do.
my byfriend and i both want to keep it.
but have no idea how to tell our parents.
pleasee tell me something to doo. (link)

Well right now I think it would be best if you go and talk to your school counsler or at some schools they have a parenting counsler...they did at my high school. It does not really matter if they know who it is, and it might be a good idea to have your boyfriend come with you. But Then you might ask if there is a way to have your parents come in for a meeting, and have the counsler there when you tell them. When I got pregnant in high school thats what I did. It helped alot because then i didnt have to be alone when I had to tell my parents. It is most likely that you are if every test has come up positive. If you have a supportive boyfriend, parents, I would keep the kid. I kept my little girl and I am so glad that I did! I refused to have an abortion when I got pregnant because my veiws on it was that it was murder and i wasnt giving my baby a fair life. I really didnt want to put her p for adoption because I didnt want to regret it later. But honestly it will be hard it will not be easy! Some days will be harder than others and one of the hardest parts is going through school when you start to really pop. You really do need to get your parents in volved. They will be upset with you trust me but after about a month of fighting they will back you up a 100% and be there for you. If you keep the baby to the best idea I can give to you is if you are in a good relationship with your boyfriend then try and stay in it with him.... you never know you might end up marrying him some day :). But do not force yourself to stay in a bad relationship with someone that does not treat you right. If you need any help feel free to ask, i have been in your position! Good Luck!!!

Ok so I'm a 15 f and i'm 36 weeks, 1 day pregnant today. My due date isnt until novemeber 17th but I was wondering if there was any way I could schedule a C-section before hand so I won't have to go threw giving birth and I could have my baby home sooner. Please answer fast I need to know. Thanks.
Love, Amanda. (link)
|
You can schedual a c-section. You will need to talk to your doctor though. I know that for me natural birth was easier. It really dose not matter on which way you give the birth on the amount of time it take to get your baby home. Rember that the c-section will leave a nasty scar too! That was one of the reasons that i had natural births until my last child was born I had a c-section because she was a pre mature child. Honestly do not listen to the person below me about who your parents are and stuff, I know where your comming from i had my first kid when I was in high school, I was 17 though. You will learn a lot and at times it will be hard. But it really isnt anyones fault. And your parents are probally really good for you. If you need any help with anything, feel free to ask! I have been in your position before.
good luck and congradulations, hope everythin goes well

As far as the topic of breast feeding goes, is it really better to do that instead of feeing your baby formula? Does breast milk have any advantages besides beind cost free?
Is it true that breast feeding helps a mother lose pregnancy weight? Is it also true that breast feeding makes your breasts sag? (link)
|
There are advntages to both, as well as disadvantages, instead of typing it all out here is a very helpful website, that should help you. As for the weight, I really did not see a difference in breastfeeding and formula. I gave formula to my first two kids and breastfed my last but I think I lost the weight at about the same pace.

Well that is a tough one... I don't know what you can really do besides giving him space. He may just need time away from you to realize how much he really needs you. You cannot make someone love you. I think you need to look at how you are acting, if you keep butting into all of his things and like purposely going out of your way just to see him or talk to him, or you are always trying to be with him, or if you are rood to the people that he hangs out with or his girlfriend than, he might feel like you are stalking him. Also is he really worth your time....look at some other guys, start going after some other guys and you might realize that there are guys out there that you are way better off with. Also think about your age, and your mind could change. Also how old are you? Sorry if this dosen't help much, message me back with anything else or more info so I can help you more!
good luck sarah.

I was at my friends halloween party saturday night when everyone decided to play suck and blow. you probably know the rules...if the paper falls you have to kiss that person. well i couldn't suck the paper right so i had to kiss this guy. after i did i sort of smiled and then he shrugged his shoulders.
it was my first kiss! the guy i had to kiss though i sort of have a crush on. he is in a couple of my classes and we talked a lot during the party and when i asked him to take a picture with me at the beginning of the party he agreed and put his arm around me and everything.
at one point i was watching this one guy do something stupid (he got dared) and i guess the guy i kissed thought i was looking him and he sort of snapped at me and was like, "What?"
well i was just wondering if you guys think he likes me or not? we talked on facebook today and he kept giving me feedback after i commented him and everytime i'd ask him a question, he'd tell me an answer and then say "hbu?" at the end. also at the end of the party we hugged and i could feel him hugging me back. i mean he has to have thought about our kiss...right?
please no sugar coating!! (link)
| |
He might of thought about it, I think he might just be in the crush stages still and not so sure yet. I think you guys should keep talking alot and hang out together in groups and things like that then see where it goes from there. Hope this helps a little. Good luck! Need anything feel free to ask!

Okay... I've been off the shot for nearly six months. I had sex unprotetcted over last weekend and I'm wondering if its possible that I'm pregnant. I think it is but im not too sure. My sister said it took her nearly a year and a half to get pregnant, as well as my sister in-law. My other sister that was on the shot is having a problems trying to get pregnant. Do you think I am or What? Im confused~! (link)
| |
You could be or you could not be, the safest thing to do is wait like a week and then go take like 2 or more of store bought tests, because they are not always accurate.

I might be moving and I was just wondering if ahnyone had some tips or advice for moving. I would start a new school my sophmore year and was also wondering is it really hard to make friends in high school when your new??? Im pretty much just nervous about maing friends and being new and stuff. I can make friends relatively well because im pretty outgoing and friendly but im worried i wont fit in. And tips for making the adjustment would really help! Thanks so much and i will rate all helpful advice!!!! Thanx :D (link)
|
You should be fine making new friends! Just show them who you are and be as outgoing as possible, just dont come across being like a stuck up brat or something like that if you know what i mean. When you get enrolled in the school ask if you can have a tour of the building so that you arent lost on your first day with all the other people there and also so that you have some what of a clue where to go. I think that you will be fine and I am sure you will fit in just fine, be your self that is what people will be drawn too! just talk to people that sit around you in your classes, and that should help you alot too, the only thing that might be a little hard is at lunch. You might go and sit with someone that you talked to quite a bit in one of your previous classes, most likely they will let you sit with them, if they dont well then you dont need them lol.
Good luck, if you need anything else, just ask
:)

hey guys im 14 years of age and am looking for a job but no one will hired someone under the age of 16 that i know of so far if anyone know somewhere that will hire at 14 please tell me (link)
| |
I do not know how it is in your town but some places that hire 14 year olds in my town are places like, Kroger's, McDonalds, burger King, Some places that have pumpkin patches or farms, babysitting is a really good one, and also some hair dressers for people to work cleaning up clippings and such. You might go around and ask certain stores in your town that are close to the places listed above and ask how old you have to be. Another really good one is locally owned ice cream stores. And usually you will get free ice cream too! hehe
|
how can you get it? and what is it caused from? the person not being clean or something??
i know you can get it from sharing drinks but from if you get it from making out..does that mean that person doesn't brush his teeth or something??
THanks (link)

Mono is very easily spread, and is also a bad thing to get rid of, it is a virus and can be passed along like colds. You can get it from making out and sharing drinks, lip gloss, and such. It does not mean that the person is not being clean or that they are not brushing there teeth! Here is a website that will help you understand what it is better.

hi..lets call me jane...okay so im like obsessively in like with my best guy friend, lets call him chad. okay so my best girl friend lets call her...well her names sam. okay so i told sam that i told chad i liked him and she was like OMG RLY? YAY so then she messaged chad on myspace and was like "omg jane told you she liked you!?!?!?" but hes not on right now..the thing is I NEVER REALLY TOLD CHAD! what do i do?! do i lie and make up a story saying that i was joking or do i actually tell him? thing is-- im POSITIVE he doesnt like me. (link)
| |
Well first off I do not think you should have ever told your bff that you told "chad" that you liked him if you never told him.....but there are several way to handle this, you could always hurry up and message him and tell him that you like him, you could tell sam that you were kidding but you were seriously thinking about it....you could not do anything wait until tomorrow and be like what i never said i told him i like him...then tell him something like but i really do like you!, There are several way you can approch this but, you need to choose how honest or cool you wanna play this, but it is kind of a sticky situation! Good luck, hope this helped a little bit! Message me if I can help you more or if this leads into something else that you need help with!
|
Okay well I'm going to try and describe it the best way I can.
I have a eating problem. I eat so much fast food and bad food it's gross. At my house, I always say "We don't have anything to eat." pretty much as an excuse so I can get some money and order food. I usually get McDonald's three times a week, hoagies, and pizza, the rest. I eat at home like once a week! I probably have such a high cloresteral. (link)

I love helping people out with this! This is part of the reason I became a gymnastics coach! But here is a couple different things that might help you... and when you do go out to dinner, get like a salad or a chicken sandwhich that is grilled instead of crispy. Lay of the pop and tea, drink water and milk, flavored water is what I usually drink.
morning... get up about 20 minutes earlier do
crunches about 10, do about 5 push ups, and toe raises do 20. Do 20 arm circles, and there are these things where you lay on your side and lift one leg at a time, do 10 on each side.
eat breakefast everyday!!! Eat a bowl of cereal something that is low in fat and healthy, like kashi, cherios, or some type of curves food. Eat about 1/2 a cup and put about 1/4 of milk or less. And have a cup of fruit juice that is not from concentrate!
lunch--eat a sandwhich, with something like lean ham, tuna, or turkey, pb and j is pretty good too! You might put lettuce, tomatoe, and all on it so it isn't to blan. Also eat some fruit and a veggie, and drink some water.
dinner-- eat at home if you can, eat a salad, or a baked meat, grilled is pretty good too, also eata veggie, and if you eat dessert eat something like 1 cup of frozen yogurt ice cream, you really cant tell the difference.
night time workout-- do the same as the morning switch it up and after it gets easyer than add 5 to each thing. If it is easy the first time you do it, start with a higher amount. I dont know how out of shape you are.
For snacks, try eating, fruit, or veggies or a gronola bar, or you can even drink a glass of water.
It helps if you do this with someone else that way you have someone to incurage you. If you need help understanding something I said feel free to ask, or if you would like someonther things you can do to switch up extersize ask, i will be happy to help! I know alot. One of the main things is only eat when you are hungry, limit yourself to 2 snaks a day! Leave yourself a little hungry at the end of each meal as well, this helps your stomache shrink faster! But please do not try not eating at all, this can cause you to pass out! Hope this helps and gives you a good Idea!

ok im in tears .... idk why its just getting to me now ; but me and my boyfriend have been dating aLmost 7 months now . im in Love with that boy & hes my everything . over the summer i cheated on him with the boy he hates most ''/ i feeL so bad , i HATE my seLf so much for it - the one thing i have in Life that means so much to me i fuck it up with my stupidity . im so scared to teLL him because he toLd me he wouLd break up with me if i cheated on him ''/ id literaLy be crushed i dont know wat to do
i cant keep this inside anymore ... N0 one knows & i wana teLL him so bad but nothing good can come out of it ''/
pLease heLp & this is serious . (link)
| |
Well I am glad you feel bad, because cheating is a terrable thing! Please don't ever do it again! If you don't tell him someone else might. I think he would rather hear it from you than someone else. If you sit down and tell him, make sure it is not a time when he is high stressed, make sure it is clear to him that you two are not still togetherm, and that you really regret it. If he feels the same way about you, that you feel about him, he might be hurt but he should come around, also I don't know him so it is kind of hard to tell how he will act, plus think about what kind of a family he has grown up in. I don't know what kinda of family he is comming from, if it were me in this situation because my dad cheated on my mom 6 times before they finally split when i was a kid, I would drop a guy so fast if I ever found out they were cheating on me. If I was for sure that they were not still together I would probally be extreamly hurt but come around! Also you do not have to tell him who it was, if you do not feel like it. Hope this helped If you need more help sometime come and ask me!

So i like totally like stores like Hollister, american eagle, abercrnie and ficth, and stuff like that. the only problem is that in my town they price the clothes so high, its breathtaking! literally! does any one know where i can find clothes like that they sell in american eagle, etc. that don't cost a fortune? any suggestions for a girl on a buget would be welcome THANK YOU!! (link)
| |
I don't know where you live, but I know that if you go to stores that are teen thrift, stores they have some really nice cloths, that are there brand, and hey there alot cheaper and no one will ever know! One really popular one where I live is Plato's Closet. Also if you out grown your cloths or decide you don't want them you can take them there and they will pay you for them. Also if it is where you live that the prices are so high, you might go try on the cloths in the store then go home and order them online, also you could try ebay. Good luck hope this helped a little!
