in july like the 26th or something my family went to florida for vacation. my dad said each of us could invite a friend (me and my brother) but they would each have to pay $300 for like the plane ticket and the hotel. well i invited one of my good friends amanda. and so im like will u be able to get the money? her parents are divorced and lets say amanda and neither of her parents get along. her mom is usually always drunk and he dad has a bad temper. she said she would be able to and then 2 days before we are about to leave her mom calls me and says amanda is grounded and cant come. well i tell my parents and they are like they cant do that we bought the tickets and everything already. amandas family doesnt have alot of money so we knew that they were just trying to make up some excuse because they couldnt come up with the money. well my parents feel bad for amanda because she never gets to go anywhere and her parents arent that nice. so my dad talks to her parents and is like is the money thing an issue? and hes like if it is then you guys can pay me back when we get home or whatever or when you have the money. and so then we all come back and whatever and now its been almost a month and still no money! she only brought like 70$ with her down there so we even paid for some of her souvineers she bought. my parents are always on me about getting the money because we arent exactly rich and we need this $300. i keep asking amanda about it and shes like well my dad is getting money for selling our cabin so he said he will give it to me when he gets it. my dad said he doesnt even care how he gets it..i told her that she could give us a $100 one time and like $200 the next and she is like okay! and still NO MONEY. i feel really bad for my parents because that is $300. i mean i keep asking amanda about the money but i feel bad always bringing it up and i know its probably annoying her but im just trying to help my parents out you know! any suggestions on how i can get this money and be done with it? all my parents were trying to do was be nice..thats just how they are and they always get screwed over =( (link)

This isn't between you and amanda, it's between your parents. Don't talk to amanda about it anymore because it just embarrasses her to have such rude parents. You parents need to handle it with her's, and if they are too intimidated to do so then they will just have to live without the money. Your parents are grown adults and it looks as though they really did have an idea of what they were getting into so don't you worry about them.

lately or recently i have lost like 3 tank tops and expensive pair of jeans. i thought that my friend mandi took them because like i was at her cabin with her and i brought them up there and when i come home there not in my bag? well i was soo PISSED OFF. she said her aunt found some in the bathroom and was gonna bring them to her house but she said she came and her mom wouldnt let her in because she didnt know who she was (mandi's parents are divorced) and i knew that was a bunch of BS. and i felt bad because my family isnt the richest and clothes are that CHEAP these days so i couldnt go buy myself a new wardrobe and replace the clothes i lost. well mine and mandi's friend lisa were all together one night and lisa is like mandi those are my pants you are wearing! and mandi is like lisa no there not my dad bought them for me and shes like not uh i remember i had them in our locker when we were sharing them and you brought them home and lisa is like if they are size 7 they are mine so she checks and they are 7's! and mandi still denies it but hollister doesnt make those pants anymore they're an old brand and she said her dad just bought them for her when she told me that her friend jackie gave them to her and amanda wears like a 3/4 not a 7! and then i was like woww she probably has my clothes too! and i was like lisa did you see her wearing a brown aero tank top with a little tan butterfly in the corner? and shes like yep shes worn that around me before! I KNOW SHE HAS MY CLOTHES. i asked her about it though and shes like nooo i dont have them sorry. and i cant go to her house because its an appt. and she never lets anyone in her house trust me ive tried! and i dont want to go snooping around her room. im soo f'in mad though! one of them were a new tank top i just bought too. me and lisa cant trust her around our stuff anymore! and this year she wants to share a locker and i was like ookay. but that was before i knew all this stuff! last year we shared one and she like took all my pencils without asking then i didnt have any! i just dont know what to do anymore..now i dont really want to share a locker but im really bad at like saying no and im scared she will share one with lisa then and i wont see mandi anymore! and shes like the only one i see at school..or hangout with in the morning.

Your friend steals from you, stop being her friends right now before she starts stealing other things from you. Don't worry about your clothes, consider that a small price to pay for learning that you can't trust someone before you loose some really important to you.

last christmas my mom got me a gift certificate for a pedicure. i haven't used it yet because i have 2 huge warts on my middle toe and i'm embarrassed to have a pedicurist trying to paint around it...my mom signed me up for my pedicure this tuesday. i told her i was embarrassed and she told me that people who do pedicures have seen everything, and that i shouldn't be embarrassed. i know she's right about them seeing everything, but i'm sure they will still be grossed out. any words of wisdom??? (link)
| |
Why don't you get the warts frozen off if you don't like them? Go to a dermatologist or just byuy the freeze off stuff at CVS. You'll get a blister but it'll be gone in a few days and then you have nothing to worry about.
|
|
i have a really heavy period and for a few days i cant do anything. any advice on what to do as i dont want to go on the pill (link)
| |
Not unless you get on the Pill,but calcium suppliments have been shown to ease cramping.
|
|
f/13 ok well i have this (im guessing its some type of cold sore?) but its a round thing of all these bumps(they look like 8 little white heads without the white in there lol) but it feels just like a cold sore but i belive i got this before when i was like 9? please help ohh and it feels just like a cold sore (link)
| |
It is, and there isn't really much you can do but keep it moisturized and wait for it to go away in a week or so.

I'm "Advanced" Sex Ed. in school. Advanced is just when you go more in depth to what you should feel and/or expect in sex. My teacher encouradged us to go home and take a mirror to look at our "parts". So I went home took a compact and looked down there, only to discover that my Labia Minora are light brown. I know that's not normal compared to the light pink pictures we saw. I hardly ever masterbate,I'm a virgin, and am about 99% sure I don't have an infection. They aren't sore, swollen, or even tender. I have a regular skin tone if you're wondering. Why are my labia brown? (link)
| |
Perfectly 100% normal, just a different skin color then the one you saw. Don't stress!
|
Uhm,ok this is random advice, what do you guys think about it?
Even though It is normal for guys [and girls :s] to like porn, it doesn't necessaraly mean that it's right. Think of it this way, in Gods eyes does he think it would be correct to do something sinful, even though you have the total conscience and controle over your hormones.
Think. (link)
| |
It's a matter of personal opinion. If you don't like it, then by all means don't view it but pron is something of an (unintentional) education tool in adolescent development and has been for decades. Although you can argue that it's "sinful" in that it promotes lust, honestly what doesn't promote lust? You could argue that teens sitting around discussing sex outside of marraige is just as sinful. So where do you draw the line? What IS ok for teens to learn what goes on with doing it themselves? In my opinion, there are far worse things to worry about in terms of sin.

Tonight I am going to try to have a lucid dream (where you control what you do in a dream and realize that you are dreaming) to practice french kissing.
If I successfully have this lucid dream will it give me decent practice with french kissing? I only have a couple of times in real life but last night I realized that when I kissed this guy that it seemed very real (in a lucid dream). I just want to be more experienced for when it comes to french kissing this guy that I really like (and he likes me) so that it will go well.
Thanks for your advice! I rate. :) (link)

I'm sorry but this has got to be the silliest question I have ever read on here.
|
|
I love to fight, I love the adreniline rush and the pain thrills me, so heres the deal, Onn my hockey team we do these things called cage boxing matches which is basicly just boxing. The thing is, everyone on my team is pretty much afraid to face me. I even agreed to one where the kid could use a knife but he wussed out. so any ideas on how i can convince people to face me? (link)
| |
A knife? You have serious issues. It's no wonder noone wants to fight you! You need to go up a weight class at least.

okay...first off i am 20 years old and I am a virgin and dont plan on EVER having sex until after marriage, so any relationship I have will always be innocent. so now my question...
There is this guy, who really loves me, and whenever I am with him I feel great. He is like the perfect guy that every girl dreams of meeting. and I love him very much. The thing is he is only 16 years old. :S so I feel like its very wrong for me to have any type of relationship with him, other than friends.
he keeps telling me it doesn't matter how old I am, and he doesn't care. but i feel like its really really wrong. and i told him that once he turns 18-19 to call me up. i could tell it really hurt him, and i cant stand the thought of not being with him. :( have i completely lost my mind? please give me your opinion and advice. negative or postive, as long as your being honest. and please no jokes. (link)
| |
It's kind of odd because there is typically a big difference in maturity between those two ages, but if there is no sex involved there is nothing at all wrong with persuing a relationship if that is what you want to do.

When they do an IV... does it hurt?
And how long does it take for you to be "put out"
-Wisdom teeth getting pulled out-
I really dont like needles.. (link)
| |
It feels like a shot, and some people ( I am one of them) actually feel some burning when the medication runs through their veins. Even so, you'll be out within 30 seconds.

ok i am 15 1/2 and my bf is 16 1/2 can my mom turn him for rape if we have sex? i live in california (link)

Hi, I'm fourteen/female and weigh around 180/190 pnds, what are some good clothes stores where I can find things that are stylish, but are my size? Thanks everyone [: (link)

Hi, I'm 17/f and I'm worried. How can you tell if your wisdom teeth are going to grow in properly, and does anyone know the amount of space you will need for them to grow? Not precise, but about how much? thanks. (link)
| |
YOU can't tell (unless you are in pain) a dentist will look and see. I've had them out and it is painful, but certainly not unbearable. When you wake up you'll be swollen and tired, and you'll have plenty of painkillers to take. You stay swollen for a few days and not be able to eat much. Then you'll be fine.

ok soo im an A cup, my mom's a B cup [i hear youre supposed to be about the same size btw im almost 16]. soo i read in cosmogirl that eating things like fish and veggies stimulates growth in your breast bc it has a lot of iron in it. the thing is i like never eat that stuff.. im skinny but i have real bad eating habits lol i eat junk food all the time and never really eat any 'meals' anyway i was wondering if i were to get some vitamins w/ lots of iron [like tha lil flinstones things lol] will that help me grow any?? (link)
| |
As long as you have a normal diet ( you aren't starving to death or anorexic) then no, nothing you do will increase breast growth. In fact, excess amount of iron is toxic to humans and you should never take any more then what is in a regular multivitamin. There only thing that really does work? Get on the Pill, the hormones may stimulate growth a bit.

Is it just me? Or questions on this site getting stupider and stupider? I mean, you should come to this site and talk about your problems, and try to get them worked out. More and more I'm seeing people talk about Myspace and things that they could really find else where. Is it just me? Or dose someone else out there agree that this needs to be cut down jus a bit (link)

Good God you are right! These kids are F-ing idiots.

15/f. A couple of questions about birth control pills:
- Which ones work the best?
- Which have the least side effects? I would like to avoid gaining weight if possible.
- About how much does it cost?
- Is a prescription required?
- If it is, is my doctor required to keep it a secret or can he tell my parents? (If he can, he probably will.) (link)
| |
Your doctor is legally required to keep it confidential. You do need an RX for the Pill, but it is over 99% effective and very few side effects.
|
|
well I do know the whole "always use a condom" thing, but every now and then its just not there right? SO I was wondering if you keep up with your birth control taking it the right time every day and you dont use a condom what are the chances of gettin pregnant? (link)
| |
If you are on the PIll and take it at the same time everyday then you have a less than 1% chance of getting pregnant.

Me and my husband moved in with another couple until we are called for base housing. (were #40 on this list) We pay this couple 300.00 a month for 1 bedroom. My husband works 16 hours a day and then has to do the up-keep on the yard because they are to lazy to do it. I also have to clean the house wash all the dishes, because again, they won't do it and I can't live in filth. What am I suppose to do? Sometime I feel like I'd rather be homeless! She has a baby and one on the way and talks in babytalk to her husband 24/7. It makes me wanna throwup!! What can I do? It's like when my husband leaves for work, I stay in my room and won't come out till there asleep because I don't wanna hear them fighting or her talking like a damn baby. (link)
| |
I don't blame you for complaining, but seeing as this is their home, they can set the amount you have to pay, they can live in filth if they want, and require you to do chores or be as annoying as they damn well please. There is literaly nothing you can do about it. I would hate it too, trust me. If you don't have to option of staying somewhere else, I would suggest finding another way to occupy your time during the day.
