about

I'm 18 and about to enter my sophomore year of college. Feel free to ask me questions about anything- I'll try to help in the best way possible! :)

advice

Ok...I'm 15/F and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to tell my mom that I want to go on birth control just in case something happens between me and my boyfriend. Or should I go on it when I am positive that something is going to happen? And do you think it's ok for a 15 year old girl to lose her virginity or do you think I am too young? Thank you.

it's all up to you. if you think you're ready, metally and physically, to lose your virginity, then go for it. it's a personal decision, and don't ever let the fact that, "that everyone else is doing it", or anything else. just do it when you're ready. your virginity is something that you can never get back. haha sorry for going on and onnn. but yea, personally, i think that it is a good idea to tell your mom that you want to go on birth control. it's better to be ready before hand instead of waiting until the last minute and being unprepared. it's better to be safe than sorry. i hope i helped. :]

seriously. why the hell does everyone have a problem with emo kids? like..i dress emo but that doesn't necessarily mean that i go around cutting myself. and even if i did, why do people notice emo people more than everyone else? and why do people say stuff about them? its stupid. half the kids are obviously depressed and i don't think people should make fun of them. then the other half just dresses this way because they really like music.
grr. it just really pisses me off.


i know that wasn't really a question, but still.

i know whatcha meaaan. it's just total stereotyping. if you're different, people are gonna look at you differently. at my school pretty much 85% of the kids are preppy, so if you're different, guarentee that someone's gonna point it out. i personally think it's retarded, why do people really care how people dress. what kind of music they listen to. etc. do what you want, and stop pointing out other people just because they're different frmo you. people assume things. like if you wear baggy clothes, you're ghetto and carry around a gun. if you wear all black, you're atheist and hate god. etcetc. yea, i'm just ramblingg on but it's true. and i guarentee that it's not gonna stop anytime soon. lame, i know. it pisses me off too. haha, sorry i didn't really know how to answer this or whatever, but yea, i totally agree with you. :]

It's almost 60 degrees in the middle of January.This is probably the warmest winter that I can remember.I can only imagine what the rest of the year's going to be like.

Is global warming the cause,or are there other factors?

My Bio teacher said that it was shit I forgot what it was called. But basically, I guess that it's something that happens every 4 years or something, and it's really complicated. Hahaha.. sorry I know I didn't help much. But yea, this weathers insannnnnnnnee! I can't believe it's so warm!

OK well this a total girl question..

I am 13 and I still dont have my period

is that abnormal??

And what are some "signs" that

might tell me if it is coming?

thanks for the help...

signed,
Confused*&*Curious

It's completely normal if you're 13 and haven't gotten your period yet. If you don't have it by the time you're 16, you might want to talk to a doctor. But as of right now, you're fine. =] Some signs of getting your period soon, would probably just be signs of pubertyy. Hair "down there", etc. But someones you'll get that and won't get your period for maybe even a year or more. But basically if you've started to go through puberty, it'll be comingg. Hope I helped.

"What nourishes me destroys me"
or
"What nourishes me also destorys me"
I'v seen 3 people with those tattoo. What does it mean?

(Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit- In Latin)// It usually refers to an eating disorder. Atleast that's what I've heard it as. It basically means that what nourishes you, food, also destroys you, in a person with an ED's point of view, makes you fat (destroys them). But I guess that it can be used with any bad addiction. It's destroying you, but you need it to go on.

14/f
okay well i am trying out for the soccer team and i am really nervous.i have never wanted anything so badly. i am on vacation working out something i would never do. i was on two soccer teams and we got first place. i am so determined to make it. i usually dont try out because i am too shy but i think that i really will make it. what do i do. how can i stop doubting myself.i really want to make it.how can i get over my nerves

ohh man, soccer try outs. I ALWAYS psych(sp?lol) myself out, i get soo intimidated because all of the girls are atleast 2 years older than me. what you have to try to do is to not pay attention to the other girls. keep your head high, have confidence, and remind yourself that you're just as good as them, or even better. you were on a great soccer team before, and you have a good chance of making this team. push yourself, and don't let the other girls intimidate you. if you play with a friend, try driving together, and warming up with her when you get there, so it's not as nerve-wrecking to show up and be surrounded and getting intimidated by other girls. ++it shows that you're extremely determined. just keep that in mind, that you want this more than ANYTHIGN! just keep your head in the game & you'll do GREAT! hope i helped, and I'm sure you'll make the team! it's just a case of nerves. =]

What does it mean to lose your virginity?

Does it mean having sexual contact...because if so, then any type of contact would make you lose your virginity, right?

Or does being a virgin technically mean you have done anything but intercourse? I'm not too sure about this one, and I don't think Google would be of much help either. Thanks.

You're not a virgin if you've had intercourse.

ok. i am in band and play oboe. we are playing a piece called general lee and i lost it and the teacher wont give me another copy so i am trying to find it online. i am not gonna pay for it so i want to like print it offline but i cant find a website for it. does anybody no a good website for free printable sheet music

I've tried searching and I can't find it ANYWHERE! ]: Honestly, it's SUPER hard to find good free sheet music online, especially a specific copy of a song. I've tried to do it for violin, and I had noo luck. If you found it online, it'd probably be only the first few measures of the song to preview it, or you'd have to pay. Your best offer is to go to a music store, and someone can help you find it. Or if someone else in your band plays oboe you can photocopy their music maybe? I know I wasn't a help, sorry. :[

I get horrible cramps during my period and it hurts so much i almost cry. and i almost cant do anything that involves moving. what can i do so it doesnt hurt as much? it still hurts when i take Midol.

Try using Midol, Advil, Motrin. If you microwave a bottle of water and put it where it hurts it helps, or a heating pad. Hot baths help too. Even putting pressure on where it hurts helps, or get someone to give you a massage where it hurts and on your back. Hope I helped =]

how many crunches a day should i do to get a flatter stomach? will i loose the size of my breasts? cause that is out of the question. andhow many sets should i do? any adivice at alll will help. thanks so much

You need to do something cardio, like running or swimming, etc. Crunches don't get rid of all the fat. And if you do work out your abs, ex. crunches, you shouldn't do it everyday. You'll be working off tons, and it's not good to do abs every single day. So basically if you do it, it'll be a waste of time & energy. As for loosing the size of your breasts, I don't really think you'll lose much, if any. Hope I helped!

I had my period this summer.But I haven't had my period for almost three months. Is there something wrong with me?

If it was your first period, that's completely normal. Or even if it's one of your first few times. Your period actually isn't regular for a couple years after you first get it. It's fine though. My friend's was just like that. =]

Okay, the only jeans that I have...ripped tremendously. They were the only jeans I had. So, I told my mom about it and she said that it would be about 2 months before she can be able to get me a new pair of jeans. What the heck am I gonna do for two months with no pants...in the winter. My mom also said that she talked to our school guidance councelor, and she said that the counselor was rude about it. So I don't know what to do. I'm screwed!

This bitess. I'm sorryy. :[ Instead of waiting for two months, are you old enough to get a job? Or even to babysit somebody. You could ask an elderly neighbor if they need some help cleaning out their attic, or shoveling their driveway. There really are many little things you can do for money, and if you don't get a lot, you can save up. I know that buying a decent pair of jeans can cost around $50 from a store like JC Penney's or something, but if you have a Salvation Army or Goodwill around you.. they might have a nice pair of jeans, for less than a fifth of the price of brand new jeans. Going to Salvation Army for clothes doesn't mean that you're dumpy and poor, I have a friend that lives in a gorgeous house and both of her parents have good jobs, and she still shops at thrift stores. There are even Consignment stores that have REALLY nice secondhand clothes, and you might even be able to find jeans that are like new from stores like Abercrombie or AE, for really good prices. If you're not able to find a job or scrounge (idk if that's even a word, hahaa) up a little bit of money, try to talk to talk to a church to get help. That's absolteuly rediculous that a guidance couselor would act like that . I hope I help, good luck hun

Yup.. Dirty Dancingg. =]

i dont see why when we give people advice that they dont want to hear, they rate us low. i think that we deserve better than that because we took time out of our lives to try to help them. why give us 1's for fairly good answers that arnt what you expected? does anyone have an opinion on this?!

-WoahThereBabe ♥

Wow, I totally know what you're talking about. People just ask for advice, and want to hear that everything's going to be okay, and that what they're doing is right. They're not looking for advice, they just want people to take their side. I see people giving good advice all the time, and they get rated ONES, just because it's not the answer they wanted to hear. They just want sugar-coated answers that make them happy. It's annoying, and when you get ones, it has to be some kind of ignorant answer that you can barely understand that has NOTHING to do with what the person's asking advice for. Well, basically I totally agree with you and it's frustrating! [=

when kissing a boy, what should you wear.. like lip gloss, or chapstick, or nothing? like i have kissed before, but i never know what would be the least akward thing.

Don't wear lipgloss, it'll be slippery and oily and just yuuuckkk. =] Chapsticks probably fine thoughhh ! =]

does anyone have any tricks or know anything about helping the bags under your eyes? mine are really big.

thanks

Maybe try putting cold teabags or put a spoon in the freezer for a couple of minutes and put them where your bags are. I'm not positive if this will work, but it's worth a try. =]

How does "Plumping Lipgloss" work?
I bought some yesterday, and it said your lips should tingle, which they did, but what does the mean/how does it plump your lips?
also, if it does plump your lips, how long does it last?

My one friend has that lipgloss, and she says it works by your blood vessels bursting in your lips? I'm not sure if she's right, but yea that's pretty much all I know about it. [=

im 13 and i havnt gotten my period yet is that bad?

Nope, it's fine. If you don't have it by the time you're around 16, then you should kind of start worrying. Hope I helped! =]

ok so when you search on google, you can choose previous searches from the drop down menu. how do you make it dissapear. like for the search engine not to remember what you searched for, so it wont appear in the drop down menu.




example: say i frequently search "cats" in google. when i type in a "c" everything that starts with that letter that i search for shows up. how do i make it disapear?

Type in the first couple of letters of what you want to be deleted, and when it shows up just put your mouse over it (don't click it) and press the "delete" key on your keyboard. It should
disappear. =]
