Why is it that mothers don't want their daughters to wear thongs?

Usually they feel that thongs are too 'sexy' for young girls to wear, and that they should wait until they are older.

ok so i have just realized no one is really happy, everyone is miserable.. everyone thinks life sucks (with a few expetions) and nearly everyone i know cries themselves to sleep!! So what is the meaning of it all? sure we can be really happy every now and then, sometimes we fall in love..sometimes life just go great.. but overall, id say we live 95% of our lives hating life ( i know i do) so what's the g0d do anything about it? dont get me wrong, i love him soo much! he's helped me through a lot!! and i know he loves me no matter what.. so im not trying to say g0d isnt there for me, i just dont understans why life has to be sooo filled with pain, i understand a little.. but seriously more than 90% of my life ive cried myself to sleep! oh i wish i had a better life =( everything has fallen apart, and ive been complaining like crazy.. but i talked to some of my friends.. and they're as miserable as i am! SOOO whyyyyyy? really - why? if everyone hates it, everyone thinks it would be easier to not have lived at all.. like really if you think about it - how good would it be to not be alive? ( not die, but just never have been born) like wouldnt you be relived if g0d said he could take you back, so you wouldnt cause pain to the ones who love you.. but you wouldn't be here.. im so depressed. and im evern more depressed cause i know nearly everyone i care about is too. what's the point? help me make sense of all of this please! help me understand! cause i cant keep living like this, it frustrates me!!

I'm not unhappy with my life. Yes, shit happens, that's part of the deal. But bad things help you to learn and help you to improve your life. I, both my best friends and their families are going through a terrible situation at the moment - but that doesn't mean that life is continually bad. Everyone has bad things that happen to them but that doesn't make them unhappy people, it's impossible to be 100% happy 100% of the time.

You are a teenager. When you are a teenager you go through a lot of changes, your hormones go all over the place and you will probably meet at least one big obstacle along the way - by that I mean things like divorce, death and drugs. You probably know a lot of other teenage people, which is why it seems that everyone is going through a lot and is upset. Teenagers are expected to be all over the place and get upset, even the most emotionally stable people get down at times. You are not alone.

As for God, well that's a matter of opinion. I haven't decided whether or not I believe in any type of 'god' yet so I can't give a long talk on religion and how he works in mysterious ways. But just because you're unhappy it doesn't mean you should lose faith.

Not being born at all? We don't get a choice in the matter. You are born and you live. How you spend your life is up to you. Some people get so fed up with it that they kill themselves - but the number of people who do this compared the population of the entire world is tiny. Which just proves that there are people out there with reasons to live. As for causing pain to the ones who love you, suicide would bring them the biggest pain you had ever caused. They would spend their whole lives wondering why you did it and asking themselves if it was something they did.

The people you care about aren't depressed, unhappy maybe, but depressed, no. Depression is a serious illness, it's incredibly unlikely that everyone you know has it.

Even if you haven't got clinical depression, you're right about not being able to continue to live like this.

I suggest you talk to someone, not one of the people you know who is feeling the same way as you - someone like a teacher, a counciller, a parent or a sibling. They will be able to get you the help you need to enjoy your again. There are good things out there for you, you just need to find them.

i have a boyfriend that really does'nt treat me right he makes fun of me with his friends hardly ever spend time with me so i dumped him. but i miss him so much i feel soo empty inside. should i get back togther with him even after all he has done to me? but how bout he has moved on should i tell him i still like him?
-help me thank you

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but don't get back with him. He doesn't care about you, if he did he would not hurt you and he would make an effort to make your relationship work. You are not feeling empty because you miss him, you are feeling empty because you miss having a boyfriend.

Hold you head up high and move on.

Do moderaters know who asks the questions?

Level II moderators and above can find out if they want to. However, they only usually do this if the question is abusive or they need to check something.

In future, you can find answers to questions like this in the site FAQ.

Okay so I have my boyfriend.
And then we have his friends.
I talk to his friends online, he doesn't have a problem with it. But today I was talking to his friend, nick. and this was the first time we actually like a had a conversation.

So then nick tells my boyfriend that we're good friends. I have no problem with that. But my boyfriend is mad, and he says "Why did you have to become best friends with my girlfriend?"

I don't understand why he's so mad. It's not big deal, we're not going to go out or anything.
So, help ?


There are two reasons why your boyfriend could be angry.

The first and most obvious is that your boyfriend is angry because he's jealous, he's wants you to be his and his alone, he doesn't want other guys - especially his friend - to get close to you. If this is the case then you need to reassure your boyfriend that you don't want to be with anyone else except him, and that he has absolutely nothing to worry about.

The other reason could be that he wants his friends to stay seperate. This is common with guys, they don't want to spend all their time with their girlfriends and they like to have time where they can just be guys with their friends. If this is the problem then tell him that you're not trying to muscle in on his friendships, and that you don't have a problem with him wanting to keep his own friends. Make sure you don't always tag along when he's with Nick, so that he doesn't feel suffocated.

Either way you need to ask your boyfriend what made him angry so you can determine what the problem is and sort it out.

how old were you the first time you made out??

Technically, 11, I was experimenting with my best male friend. The first time I ever made out with an actual boyfriend was when I was about 12 or 13.

What does it mean when someone "takes you for granted"?

I've had a friend say that to me.
I dont really understand.

If someone is taking someone for granted they are not fully appreciating them or expecting them to always be there or do something. For example; if you parents told you that you were taking them for granted regarding cleaning your room then they would mean that you always expect them to do it without considering their opinion or not noticing.

Hey,
My sister is 12 years old & i just found out something that disturbs me a bit. She kinda has sex with a bunny.. but not really.. she leaves her pants and underwear on and everything and she puts the bunny against her genital organs and kinda like humps it.. she moves up and down and she says its pleasurful and she likes the feeling of it. Is this normal for a 12 year old to havce urges for this kind of stuff? & can this be harmful..?? Please help me.. I dont know if she young to have a vibrator.. so what should i do?

What she is doing is called masturbation, which is when someone stimulates their genital organs for pleasure. It is completely normal and nothing to worry about. You have to be over 18 to purchase a vibrator, so she is too young to have one. Don't worry about it, what she is doing is completely normal and is not harmful.

i ordered one of them 'free samples' from sunsilk off their website.. the straightening shampoo or w/e but that was like last weekend and it still hasnt come, anyone know how long those things take ??

Free samples usually take ages to come, often the maximum waiting time is 28 days. I once ordered a free sample from somewhere and I'd completely forgotten about it by the time it came.

im 13 im going on 14 in about 4 months i have doubles D's is that normal?i know that because i tried on my friends mom's bra and she has dd's and they fit.

There is no 'normal'. Everyone's bodies are different. Yes, DD is larger than a lot of girls your age but it's not at all abnormal. I strongly suggest you get yourself properly measured at a shop that sells underwear (most places will offer a fitting service). If you are unhappy or embarassed by their size then you can get minimizing bras which will make them appear smaller, and if they seriously affect you when you are an adult then you could consider a breast reduction operation - although I doubt this will be nessercery. No matter what shape or size you are you should be proud of your body!

Me and my gf had sex for the first time recentlly, she said she had an amazing time and moaned and groaned and almost screamed( she had to hold back cause there were other ppl in the house) we went for about 30 min. and then we had to stop cause someone was comin. is this good for the first time. im a bit self consious

Your girlfriend said she enjoyed it and you have to trust her. Most people's first times aren't great because it's often rushed and uncomfortable, but if you both had a good time then that's fantastic. Also, 30 minutes is very good for someone your age and even some grown men.

You know what???I am not fat boys like me and everything is fine...I am ok...But i want to have the perfect body...Don't tell me exercise etc there is no time..I need something quick...Do you know what i can do???I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT REALLY QUICKLY...Please, if you want to tell me eat healthy etc better don't answer..Try to understand me...Some links would help but this is not important...

I'm sorry but if you're not prepared to eat healthily or excercise then there is not way to lose weight, unless you have surgery. If there was an easy way then don't you think there would be a whole lot less overweight people in the world? A healthy, balanced diet and regular excercise is the best way that you can lose weight.

As for the perfect body, there is no such thing. No matter how much weight you lose or what you change about yourself, you will still find something that you don't like. And you're not alone on that, virtually every person in the world has problems with their bodies.

Like you said, you're not fat and boys like you - just be happy with what you've got.

hi, well im not a politics type of guy, so i dont know why george bush and tony blair are hated so much. what have they done thats so bad?

There are many reasons why people hate them, but one of the main reasons is the war in Iraq. I live in England, and obviously Tony Blair is our prime minister and the general feeling is that he shouldn't have sided with Bush and joined in on the war. The reasons for hating Bush are much more varied, people say he's stupid, he went to Iraq for oil, he's a bad president etc etc. It's all a matter of opinion.

if you put your hair in 4 braids before you go to sleep will it be wavy when you wake up? like good waves, or will it look crimpy and bad? does it help if your hair is wet, oe whatever? i want to try it for school.
thanks

btw, step by step would be nicee lol

It's more likely that it will come out crimpy, so here are a couple of alternative methods of curling your hair, hopefully you'll find at least one of them helpful.

METHOD 1: Pin curls
1. Wash your hair and blow dry it until it is about 70% dry.
2. Starting with the top layers, take small sections of your hair and twizzle them into little pin curls.
3. Secure with little hair bands.
4. You can either go to bed and undo the pin curls in the morning or blow dry your hair until it is 100% dry then undo them.

METHOD 2: Rollers
1. Wash your hair and blow dry it until it is about 70% dry.
2. Starting with the top layers, roll your hair into hair rollers.
3. Blow dry your hair until it is 100% dry then remove the rollers.

METHOD 3: Hair straighteners
1. Wash and dry your hair fully.
2. Use some volumising mousse (this is optional but the finished result will look better if you do).
3. Take your straigheners and clamp your hair in them as if you were going to straighten it.
4. Wind the the section of hair around the straighteners.
5. Slowly move the straighteners down your hair and repeat the steps until all your hair is done.
Please note: This method does take a little practice and it might not go right first time.

ok whenever i swallow (like hard or forcefully kinda) it feels like i'm swallowing a lump. its kinda bitter, and its at the the back of my throat. it kinda almost feels like its made up of mucus. what is it? i've had it for at least 4 years if that helps any

I sometimes get that when I'm unwell, but not for the length of time that you have had yours. I suggest you go and visit your doctor as he will be able to diagnose/clear up and (if neseccery) cure the problem.

Okay I still have feelings for my ex boyfriend but i don't want to be wit him (if that makes any sense) I mean its like i can't even bring myself to get closer to other boys or anybody for that matter because i guess i'm scared that the same thing will happend...I mean sometimes i realize that he did me wrong but lately all i remember is the good time we had together...I guess i jus need help on how to handle the situation or do i still need time to move on or watever i mean its been i think 3 or 4 maybe 5 months? I really need help so if you can't be real wit me then don't leave anything thanks!

Most people will have gone through this situation. You've been single for a while and it's started to get to you, so you let your mind wander back to the happy times you've had with your ex. But you must remember that you broke up for a reason. Every time you find yourself thinking happy thoughts about him, get a pen and paper and make a list of the negatives in your relationship.

All relationships take time to get over, sometimes it can be weeks but other times it can be years. In the mean time, try not to dwell on it, get out and meet people, have a laugh with friends and have fun.

I'm not saying you should launch into a rebound relationship, but don't sit around moping. If you concentrate on your life without your ex and enjoy yourself then eventually you won't have any feelings towards your ex and you can start to date other people. Don't be scared of getting close to other people, put your relationship with your ex down to experience and don't repeat the things that went wrong with him.

if you give a guy a blow job, and he doesnt cum in your mouth, can you still get an STD? thank you!

Yes you can, you should always use a condom during oral sex unless you have both been tested for STDs.

sorry if this is long but i really need advice ok i live with my dad, and i need to get bras, i need/want a cupped bra, but
1. i don't know wat size i am and i dont know how to figure it out.
2. and i dont know which 1 would be right for me
i would like to have 1 regular sports bra, 1 regular cupped bra, and 1 sports bra that is sorta cupped. how many bras do you think i should need? how do i get those bras with my dad?
as much advice as possible plz help me!! thx

Don't be embarassed about telling your dad that you need some bras. Ask him to give you some money then go with a friend, or if possible an older woman who is friends with your family - if you feel comfortable you can even ask her to talk to your dad about bras for you.

Most lingerie shops offer a bra fitting service so that you can find out what size you are. Getting measured is no problem whatsoever, you don't have to take your top off if you don't want to and all that the person fitting you will do is measure under your breasts and again at the fullest part of them.

If you want sports bras then get one of both types that you mentioned and also get about two regular bras.

ok so i have a lot of discharge, and i have not had my period yet.well the discharge is ruining all my underwear. i live with my dad cause my mom passed away.if u tell me to get pads or something like that, tell me how to deal with telling my dad or how to get them.
thx a ton!

Try pantyliners. They're like a thinner version of a sanitary towel that you can just slip into your underwear to keep you dry and your underwear clean.

As for dealing with your dad, then casually tell him that you need some money to buy some feminine necessities. He will understand and probably won't ask any further questions as men generally get embarassed about this kind of thing.
