My puppy is almost 9 months and we can't potty train her! We've tried everything! We take her out every hour, or half hour. Sometimes shell go outside for three days then out-of-the-blue go on the floor! HELP! (link)
Have you been to your doctor? Maybe your dog has a bladder problem. Do you scold at your dog when he pees in the house and praise when he's outside? Give him a treat when he pees outside. Give him walks and give him a treat when he pees on the grass.
Hope it helps.


Hi my name is Vanessa. I live in the UK although all of my family are in South Africa. My husband is English and we have a little boy who is 14 months.

Where to begin. My husband and I have been having A LOT of problems over the past year. The birth of our son has put a lot of strain on our relationship to the point that we no longer have a relationship.

I no longer want him to touch me, we fight all the time. He is constantly calling me names. I am constantly putting him and his family down.

I have always been a little unstable. I have a history of drug abuse (3 years ago now) I was anorexic for a few years (5 years ago) I am slightly depressive and latley, I can feel myself getting more and more unable to cope.

I am in a lot of debt and that brings about a lot of financial stress. Instead of supporting each other, we use each others problems as ammunition when we argue.

I am very needy and I desperaly want someone to love me and touch me and look after me. I would not be able to cope on my own and moving to South Africa is not an option because of the debt that I am in the UK.

I need a realtionship where I am supported but I know I will not get it from my current husband. He will not go to a therapist because he can not open up to people. He says that I have made him that cold and suppressed. I don't think that is true.

We are both unhappy and have needs that are not being met. The solution would be to move on but how can I with a small baby and no friends or family in the uk??? I think that I would fall apart on my own. I think I would drive myself mad. I have done it before.

I have thought about therapy but I can not afford a therapist! I can not go on the NHS (free medical care) because that will go on my record and my husband has told me several times that he will fight for custody for our son and he will use my instability against me.

I love and cherish my son. He wants for nothing. I give him everything he needs and everyone I know says that I am an unbeliveably good mother who lives for her son. I would never in a billion years hurt him. I do fear that my husband will take him away from me if I see a therapist on the NHS.

I need a solution. Some advice. Someone that can put themselves in my situation and help me to figure out what I should do next.

I am desperatly unhappy :( Please help :)

Thanks for your time!

Every mother loves their child so much. The child completes a mother's heart in every way.

The question is, why did you have a baby? You should've been possitivley sure and your husband will be a good father; doesn't seem like it.

Think something for the best of your child. Does your husband drink? Does your husband abuse you or your child? Will your husband kill you or your baby if you do something he doesn't like?

I can't answer the question until you say this.
Have you tried to talk to him a lot and think what you guys can do to maket the relationship better...does he even love the baby?
If he does love the baby and will not harm it, try a divorce.


(13, Female)
My crush asked me out recently. I'm totally outgoing and flirty, but once we start going out I get shy. How do I break out of that. Like on the phone, I don't know what to say. Sometime's I'll try excuses not to talk to him, or hang out with him cause I hate ackward silences. How can I be a more outgoing, romantic type when I'm going out with someone? (link)
Your not use to being with a guy. TO make you more comfortable without being shy, do little things first. Talk on the phone more often and be yourself. Maybe you aren't being your self. Talking on the phone a lot helps the relationship. Talk about your life and his life and more about each other...don't have to go personal yet. Go to a park with a pet if you have one or his. A walk through the park helps. After walks through the park, maybe ask him over and play board games, talk...stuff. Maybe go out for dinner with family members. Also, going to the movies will be fun...hope you have fun and not be a scared girlfriend


okay, well, i went to this one school until 5th grade, and it was really small!!, and i started going to school in a big town. i just moved back to my old school in march of 7th grade. i had changed a whole bunch!! (not to brag, but i got really pretty!!) and everybody still treats me ALMOST the same!! which is good!! so everything is ALMOST like it was, right? WRONG!! i kind of have a crush on this boy that i had known since i was 4!! we dont talk to each other that much, but i mean i had gone to his house a few times when we were little. its a weird relationship. but, i have no clue what he would say if i asked him out!! what should i do?
I will answer to questions you have about the situation!! (link)
A boy you've liked since 4th grade and you still like him? Wow, you do like him! LOL. Well, first of all, don't ask him out; that'll freak him out. He maybe forgot about you; maybe. If you see him, say Hi to him and asked if he remembered you. If he doesn't want to talk to you; it's not worth it...find another cute boy. If he does want to talk, talk about what happened in the past and fun stuff (He could have a girlfriend by now, remember). Ask him if he's ever been on a date and have a girlfriend. If he does, just say, "I'll ttyl" if he doesn't, ask him if he culd come over, just for fun...and continue their


I came to a new school in April and met a great bunch of guys who are into the same music as me and who get me. They're really good friends with one of the young teachers we have, so they introduced me to him and we all usually hang out together at school.
I thought that I had a crush on the teacher but I left it thinking that he was just young and my hormones were going crazy (as a young girls do haha). The thing is, we got really close from April to June and he kept me after class once and we kissed.
We've been seeing each other, not a lot, but in secret this summer. He was at my house when one of my guy friends walked in on us kissing. Dave (my friend) is one of my best friends so I don't know if he will tell the rest of the guys but I don't know how to face him again...or whether I should keep seeing my teacher.

I think I love him and he says he loves me but..hes 8 years older than me. I don't want to cost him his job if word gets out but he says it doesn't matter. What do you think...should I keep seeing him? (sorry if its all very confusing)

thanks!

you probably shouldnt keep seeing him. he could go to jail for being a pedifile, but he could most definantly lose his job


Does anyone know about how much background dancers for famous singers get paid? (link)
when i was a background dancer about 3 years ago for a sean paul m/v... i got paid about 400 dollars for each video. i was in 1 video so... yay! haha. it might have gone up tho


i thought that the hymen was the wall of the vagina so it stretches? then what is the hymen and how does it break? (link)
Um, no, it is not the wall of your vagina. It's right near the opening of it. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you because there are many, many health sites that can.

I am 13 and I want my eyebrows to be *ok* for school.
well she wont let me wax. but she wants to pluck them. o well again =\

well anyways my question, is that she tells me your not supposed to take stuff of the top. only off the bottom? is this true? id like to know! Thanks! (link)
The answer below me already said not to take any off from the top and that's true but the reason to why you shouldn't is because it'll mess up your arch. You really don't want that; the prettiest eye brows are ones with nice arches.


what are some good eye shadow colors for brown eyes that make them like really pop? kthanks in advance (link)
The two best eye shadows for brown eyes are purple and light-ish, pastel pink. Pink will make your eyes stand out in a conservative sense. But, purple will make them really pop. If you want them more intense, go with a grape color. And like that other girl said gold is good too. But, silver will hide your eye color.


14/f. okay well i'm getting my hair cut tomorrow night and i was thinking of getting bangs. well i already got bangs, but they are kinda long and you can't really thell that i have them when i straighten my hair. here is my picture:

okay well i was thinking of getting bangs like ashley tisdale. like here

http://www.ashleytisdale.com/images_pub/pat681.jpg

http://www.ashleytisdale.com/images_pub/pat643.jpg

1) will i look good with bangs like that?
2) is there a special way i'll have to style the bangs so they will look like that?
3) if so, then can someone tell me how to style them like that?

THANKS SOOOO MUCH! this is so much appreciated! i don't want to get a hair cut that doesn't look good for back to school. (link)
Considering you have basically the same face structure as her, yeah it should look good on you.


It looks like she has her hair parted in the middle until the bangs. When the bangs star, she goes to a far side part (duh, side bangs). Try parting your hair like that before you get it cut. If after you part it, it stays in place then you won't have to do much to style it.


If it doesn't stay in place (I doubt mine would) you're going to have to straighten it in that direction, put some hair spray in, then comb it through. That should get it to stay. I'm sure Ashley Tisdale puts products in her hair since she's in front of cameras all the time.


So...lets see did I get everything? Looks good, got the part, and the styling.


Oh yeah, your bangs won't turn out EXACTLY like hers because your hair is a different texture than hers; yours is silkier.


Get that picture printed and show it to your stylist as well so she knows exactly what you want. Stylists often get hair cuts wrong.


whats the difference between your hymen stretching and your cherry popping? (link)
Your hymen doesn't stretch, it breaks. And it means the same thing as getting your cherry popped. Cherry popped=slang.


What STRETCHES is your actual vagina.


i'm a 16 year old girl who has never done it or had even had a REAL boyfriend.
is this abnormal?
cause my friends are all off doing it and they think im such a nerd. (link)
Your friends are just stupid. At only 16 having sex and a boyfriend is way too much. Remember, childhood only lasts once, and their child-hood is going away. My sister, almost 18, has never had a boyfriend and did it. I'm almost 14, and never had a boyfriend. Everyone is different, and for those who do have sex, are sluts. Stay a virgin, because being a virgin is something that you will only have until you do it; you can't turn back. Take life serious when it comes to danger, and you will be presented a great gift.


My long-term boyfriend & I have recently started having sex. He wasn't a virgin but I was (I'm 18, he's 19). The sex is getting better each time too. The thing is, sometimes he'll make a face or we'll like bump heads by accident & I'll think it's hilarious. He doesn't think so, and stays so serious. I would like to lighten the mood a bit and get him to loosen up even though sex is serious, but how do I go about doing that? (link)
Have some romantic music maybe. Ask him if he can lighten up so you can enjoy it more. Men will possibly accept because they want their girl to be in a sexual mood, not a gloomy mood or they don't want to do it. Maybe begin slow, and try to make the serious sex act, a little fun.


Okay so yesturday was the last day of my period i get it for 4 days and then on the 5th day its kinda just finishing itself off, and i ended up takin a shower with my boyfriend today and we kinda had sex, he went in me, but only for a quick amount of time, and didnt have a condom =X i know, bad desicion, but i heard that right after your period if the best time to do it without a condom (even no time really is a good time) but i was just wondering if this was true and why?

thanks in advance (link)
The best thing is see a doctor and have a conversation but quick with your mother. Sometimes having sex in the shower, might be safe. Check if you are pregnant in some weeks and hope your not if you didn't want to. The quick amount of time might was the best idea. Maybe he didn't erect and so you will be safe...maybe...sorry I'm not that exact...
I know, a lot of maybes.
I hope you get some good feed-back.


I havent gone all the way with my boyfriend, but hes given me oral sex. Every time he comes over, we do it!! Im 13 and want to be a virgin. Am I considered a virgin or not? (link)
Your 13 huh? Does your parents know that you have having oral sex with your boyfriend. From my prospective, you are young. I'm 13, turning 14, and I'm no condition to have sex of any type with a boyfriend until I get older. Having any type of sex is very dangerous, especially you are young. You are still a virgin, and I hope you feel good about your self. If you start having sexual intercourse with your boyfriend, DON'T. When you get much older, around 18+, you will be fine. Honey, you are ruining your life, and you have 5 more years to go; live it. Tell your boyfriend to stop, and have a regular relationship until you can handle pregnancy and dangers...Don't scare me!


what is the meaning of "speak softly but carry a big stick." my grandpa told me this and i dunno what it signifies (link)
That's a quote by Theodore Roosevelt. It means that you should be restrained and use what power you have quietly. You'll make more friends and seem less hot-headed and arrogant.


do you kiss on the first date? (link)
I personally find nothing wrong with kissing on the first date *if* I really like the guy. If I don't like him or I don't feel anything for him then no.


whats an .asf file? (link)
It's a file format that stores audio and video information.


I just came back from my ten year highschool reunion. Everyone was really nice and I had a suprisingly good time. I was really unpopular in highschool back then. Well everyone was nice except for this one guy. He was the most popular guy in the class back then and had a huge ego. He also knew I had a crush on him and was pretty mean back then. Well he showed up with his arm around his new wife and the whole time ignored me and never said hi or apologized to me (I didnt think he would). The strange thing though was although he never talked to me and was showing off his wife the whole night; I kept catching him staring at me when no one else was talking to him. Do you think he still remembers what a jerk he was? Although I was really dressed up and looked hot so he may have been checking me out. (link)
He probably still has his ego, especially since he was showing off his wife. Guys like that are annoying. People should be over themselves 10 years after high school. I think he does remember you and what happened in high school. If he didn't then he would have at least said something to you. He was most likely thinking *damn, I should have been nicer to that girl*. I wouldn't give him any mind or even think about him though. He knows you look good now but sounds like he's still too full of himself to apologize for something he did as a kid.


ok i'm 16/f & i haven't been to the gyno yet. my period has been regular since i was 11 [when i first got it] & i haven't had sexual intercourse or anything. i haven't had a UTI or anything either & i was wondering when would be the best time to go?? i know everyone says you should go juss to be careful, but since i haven't really had a problem in that area, i don't know when to start. would 18 be ok or what??

thanks!! (link)
If you're 16 and not sexually active then you don't have to go until you're 18. It's mostly when you turn 18 or become sexually active, which ever comes first. But, if you want to go now, you can. I have friends that aren't sexually and still go.
