I'm a 19 years old male from the Netherlands. I'm in my first year of studying psychology at the university of Utrecht, and plan to major in clinical psychology. I'm interested in nearly anything, so I know a little something about a lot of different subjects. My areas of expertise lie in philosophy, religion and spirituality.

just courious,approximatly how long is beauty sleep supposed to last ? ;p,thanks
*rates to 5* (link)
| |
I think the beauty sleep is a custom from the time women wore corsettes (though don't pin me on that one). Because these gave them a hard time breathing they'd grow tired faster and had to take some rest during the day. I doubt that such a period of rest would take longer than two hours tops. A beauty sleep doesn't really make you more beautiful, though it's important for your body, and thus for your looks, to sleep enough.

May of 2004 I had a case of bacterial meningitis. Well, I'm starting to have the same symptoms again and it's worrying me. Is it possible to get Meningitis more than once? (link)
| |
I am not sure if you can have bacterial meningitis more than once. I do know there's also a viral meningitis, which has basically the same symptoms, and I don't think bacterial meningitis gives you any kind of resistance against a virus. I'd go and see a docter if I were you.

There is this guy (let's call him Bob) and he's really really cute. I just met Bob a few months ago but he's very sweet and whenever I'm with him I get goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach (majorly) I don't know if I should go up to him and tell Bob I really like him or not. And he also dated one of my friends but they broke up, and I don't want her to be mad at me if I date him. What should I do? (link)
|
Talk to your friend about it, try to find out what she'd think about it if you went out with him. As a friend she probably wants to see you happy, but you dating her ex could come to uncomfortable situations, so you might need to compromise, if it comes to a relationship with Bob.
As for him, he's a guy and therefor probably clueless. Go out with him, try to probe him, but don't try subtle hinting to let him make the first move, but make that move yourself. Men don't get hints from women very often.

Lately I have been under a lot of stress from finals and other things. In the past two weeks I have passed out 4 times. How much blood do you ussually have to lose before passing out and what could be other causes of this? I'm 14 and relatively healthy. (link)
|
There are a number of reasons that can make someone pass out. The best thing to do is to see a doctor about this.
And if you're stressed, try to be calm ;) Just relax about those finals. If you can't pass them there's always next year. The calmer you are, the better your chance of passing them is. You might want to try drinking herbal tea, if you're into that kind of things.

i have been with my boyfriend for 5 months but we are not together officialy itis supposed to be a flig but i realy like him and he admitted he has slepted with other lasses since we have been together i want to finish it but dont know how to or what to say but i realy like him and dont want to loose him but i dont him making a fool of me any longer plz help i will rate. (link)

Your flig ends here. You want to end this, or you want it to become a serious comitted relationship, and that's a tough decission in this situation. You can make the decission to end this yourself, but to turn this thing into a serious relationship you'll need his input.
I think the real question is if you will be able to trust him in a comitted relationship. If you think you can, and he wants to be in that kind of a relationship with you, why not giving it a shot? But if you think you can't, just tell him the truth with care.

Right now I have a decent paying job that I don't hate. I like most the people I work with and my boss. I'm in a position of power so I have a lot of control which is always good. However, I live an hour away from work. That's a lot of driving and a lot of money going to the car. I want a job closer to home and I have a job interview this week at a place in the town I live in. My problem is, the phone receptionist here is going to have to have her tonsils removed and won't be able to speak for awhile. We are the only people in the office that work full time and the only other phone person is in on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'll be needed here but I don't know when she's actually going to get them removed, need off work, etc. If I do find another job, should I take it? Should I mention my predicament and try to start at the new place after she gets better? I don't want to drive back and forth any longer than I have to but I don't want to leave this office in the lurch. (link)

If it's possible to start your new job after the phone receptionist returns, do so. If not, just take the job, I'm sure they'll somehow manage to do all the work and answer the phone when you're gone.

How do slow down fast metabolism? Any tips or something? (link)
|
Your metabolism is determined by your age, weight, height, gender, and some other factors. All I know is that losing weight slows down your metabolism, and gaining weight speeds it up. Also aging tends to slow it down. Some drugs can slow down or speed up your metabolism for a short period.
However messing with your metabolism shouldn't be taken lightly as it is a function your body controls just fine. If you want to slow your metabolism to gain weight easier, here's a better idea: eat more, move less.

Alright. So I like this guy..a lot. I never told him it, but we talk all the time. We met a while ago because we used to have the same problem. But He's so great and everything the only problem is that he's turning 16 this year and I'll be 18 in a month. I want to tell him how I feel, but I'm scared he'll think I'm wierd or something because I'm older. or I'm scared about what people would think. I mean I want to tell him, but he lives about 2 hours away, and we never see each other.And when we talk, we talk about Everything and anything. I don't know what to do. I'm probably not even making any sense. So should I tell him how I feel about him, or just let it go? (link)

Friendship and love are the two most wonderful things in the world, so there's a good reason to be careful about this, but also a reason to not feel down about it. You can consider him a friend right? True friendship may become uncomfortable when one has more feelings for the other, but in the long run it usually works out just fine. And if the feeling's mutual there's a great base for a relationship. Try going out and do something fun with him and try some careful probing on what he thinks about relationships, age difference, etc, in general. As he is a guy he will probably be clueless that you're actually hinting on something, so try be more straightforward when you start talking about your own feelings.
Don't worry about him not liking it. He's probably feeling flattered that an older girl likes him in that way. Maybe he never considered the possibility of loving you, must guys tend to think older girls are way out of their league, so don't rush into anything. Just build up talking about your feelings, then talk about them, and when he doesn't really come with a clear response give him a week or so (depending on how often you speak with him) before talking about it again.
Good luck.

Dear Tiff,
It would be cold of your dad not to send a message back, so until you know for sure just assume he didn't recieved or read it. Try giving him a call or visiting him, he can't avoid answering the question that way.
Also, try to realise that it isn't easy for your mother if she has the idea you like your dad or your stepmom more than you like her. If you want to solve this you may need to convince her of the fact that you love her just as much, and stop comparing the situation you have with your mom with the one you have with your dad.
You will have to decide for yourself what you value more, having a stable home situation or living near your friends. That's a hard decission, but you're the only one who can make it. Just take some time to think about it, what you need most right now and in the near future.
Take care,
Raeden

say it was 3 thin layers of clothing. He did ejaculate and I noticed that there was a wet spot on my shorts around the top of my private area, I am not sure if it went through my underwear or not, but my underwear was also wet, but that was probably my stuff. I am really scared that I will get pregnant. I will get my period approximately around Feb 9 so that is where I stand. I am really worried, what can I do? (link)
|
When worried, you should take a morning after pill. If nothing else, it teaches you to start using birth control, because taking the morning after pill is a BAD experience.
The chance of you being pregnant is, as said before, neglectable.

Does anyone have the "6 Second Abs" machine? Did anyone get any good results? If so, how long did it take and how often did you use it?
Thank you (link)

A lot of people I know always buy crappy fitness contraptions like these, use them for a while and talk about how good they feel. However, in the end these devices always end up gathering dust under your bed. They don't work at all. The only way to lose weight or gain muscles is to eat healthy and do some good exercise at least two times one hour a week. You could join a gym and train there, that way you can still use crappy devices without buying them.
