i got dumped for the first time last week. me and my bf had been going out for 4 months. it's been about a week since we broke up, and we have the same friends and free block at school. we end up hanging out and it's driving me crazy. he's loud and funny, always the center of attention. he's flirting with all these girls (who are my friends), and it just, well, hurts. i'm over him (this might sound mean but,) i hate seeing him happier without me than he was with me. prom is coming up and there's this guy, blake, who likes me, but i dont like him. and the guy i do like, carlos, is on a "break" with my friend, ana. what should i do to stop feeling so angry at my ex? and to find a prom date? should i go with the guy i dont really like, just as friends? (link)
If you don't like him don't go with him. Go stag, we don't need boys to enjoy ourselves!

Also, if it makes you sad to see him with other girls, then you might not be completely over him?

Carlos is not an option, unless you KNOW ana is ok with it (which requires talking to her, wich may be sticky)


I'm on my period right now and I have extremely bad cramps so bad. Like, on a scale 1-10, it's worse than 10! What can I do??! (link)
Take an exedrin PM and sleep it off, also eat bananas, cuz they're high in phosporous and that helps...


I'm doing an art project on time structures and for a section of it I'm going to be taking action sequences on my camera. That's like a photo every hafl second or something to capture movement.
I need suggestions of what actions I could take the photos of - ideas I already have include someone dancing, a fight, a skate stunt, someone jumping off a wall.
All good suggestions appreciated! (link)
people walking around during passing period at your school


Cars driving on a highway/freeway (at night from a hill when everything's all lit up would be cool, but daytime is rad too)


Joggers at a popular jogging place, but just their feet/legs (crouch in the bushes)


Hey everyone... i'm a senior in high school, and i'm most likely going to go to San Francisco State University next year. Any advice for college? Anything at all would be great.. Dorm rooms, the people in general in college, academics, distractions.. anything!! My major is going to be Nutrition. Thanks in advance =] (link)
Well, if it's the SF state I'm thinking of, You'll be right by Stonestown Mall (decent shopping) the stonestown theatre (they show alot of neat artsy flicks) Lake merced (you can feed the ducks or go fishing or just walk, it's really pretty) You're near the zoo, but you'd have to drive/take a bus/bart, plus there's the City itself, Haight-Ashbury is always neat, Clement streets fun too, specially the goodwill store there, and the castro had great shopping and good resteraunts (try Le Med!)

SanFranciso is one of the most beautiful, coolest citys ever, so good choice!


me and my bf made a bet about who could stay up the longest, and if he lost, he had to go some where with me, and if I lost, i have to kiss him. WE called it a tie, but we still have to go through with it. What should I do? (link)
Backing up on bets, not a good way to keep friends. Kiss him, it doesn't have to be a romantic kiss. Then drag him out to the mall or something and playfully torture him.


what's a way (that i dont have to buy anything for) to make my sagging boobs... not sag anymore. no stupid answers.
thanks (link)
push-up bra!


why do they make cars that go like 300 miles per hour if the speed limit's like 75 miles per hour
(link)
For macho idiots who think that having more power under the hood makes them "cooler" and more desirable.


I need some new bands to get into, because my musical band "vocabulary" is not very large.

I love bands like U2, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Aerosmith, Coldplay, Bruce Springteen, and Crosby., Stills & Nash.

Any suggestions of other bands I might like? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks. (link)
Queen
Death Cab For Cutie
Rilo Kiley
AC/DC
The Cure

And kudos for having good music taste in today's pop culure!


I have never before used tampons and I want to start trying them but I am like so terrified that I am going to put it the wrong place or it will hurt to bad does anyone have any ideas? (link)
There's instructions on how to put in on in the box, it's hard to put it in the wrong place, since the urethra is WAY too tiny and the rectum is too far back. I'd go for the smallest kind available (tampax has a junior/slender size, it's the one with the pink stripe I think) and you have to gauge the absorbency yourself, though I'd aviod super, cuz you have a higher risk of TSS with those (again, explained on the pamphlet in the box).

hope I helped : )


what exactly is masturbating for boys and girls? (link)
Masturbating is the manuall stimulation of the genitals for pleasure, usually to orgasam.

Guys usually rub their hands up and down thier penis, while girls rub their clit, put fingers up their vagina, and generally stroke themselves.

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT forbidden by the bible, does NOT give you hairy palms, does NOT make you go blind.

It's actually like exercise for you genitals (i.e. healthy)

wank on


I just moved into a new house and my room is light pink and green. I am not into that at all, not one bit. But my parents won't let me paint over it. I'm not gothic; but my favourite color is black, i wear black all the time, i'm into heavy metal, my favorite band is Lamb of God and Insane Clown Posse. I like stars and hearts. I would probably be more into the colours if they were alot darker, but i can't paint! I asked if i could get a black stripe near the top but our painters' hand isnt steady enough, but I can paint some black into it, but where? Not the whole thing so what can i do? What can i do that will make my room alot less girly and young? Please help! I hate these light baby colors! (link)
well, you can paint it darker colors that AREN'T black, try a nice red or blue, also, you can get some old black clothes/anything fabric-y stuff from a thrift store and drape it on the walls, and get some black/colored lightbulbs to make it seem darker.
Or just COMPLETELY cover the walls/celing with posters of bands you like.

Yay for ICP!


ok i am 13/female and i just started my period October of 2005. it hasnt came on since then. and it is january 22nd of 2006!! is something wrong with me? my mom says that i sgould oviolate every month so thats why im scared. help me. i rate 5's for good answers.
Thanks (link)
It's fine, girls always are a bit irregular at first, I skipped mine for a whole summer, you will, eventually ovulate every month, but you're still developing.


this is a seriuos question because i don't know what else to do.my bf before wen he ate me out, i didnt know wen i came i still can't tell but now i have a new boyfriend and he wants to finger me and eat me out, but i dont know wen i will came, do girls normally know? or no? im so confused! (link)
You. Will. Know. So that first time, you didn't cum. Just relax and enjoy, if you're worried about the gasam, you won't have the gasam. Simple as that.


I had sex with a guy and the condom broke, its been like... 2 weeks and i was wondering what the earliest signs for pregnancy were? Like,what starts happening to your body? and how soon does it happen? pleeeaaseee i need to know as much as possible! im 16 and i CANNOT be pregnate! thanks alot! (link)
Certain Hormones are being released to stop ovulation and the rest of the menstural cycle. Some preagnancy tests can dectect them. Or go to a family planning clinic (planned parenthood, if you're in the bay area, Daly City Youth Health Center, when you call to make the appointment, ask about confidentiality if you don't want your parents to know) or your doctor and have your preagnancy test done professionally, or wait for a missed period.

Also, if it happens again, I'd look into the morning-after pill, or just go on normal contraception as a back-up.


Okay well I know you guys aren't doctors but we can't get ahold of ours right now so I thought I'd ask.


My friend was at baseball practice this morning and got hit with a ball coming out of a pitching machine at 70 mph right in the forehead. He had to go to the hospital and eveything.


Well, he's over at my house now because no one is home at his house and he can't fall asleep for more than 1 1/2 hours at a time. They told him to keep his head elevated from his body to try to reduce the swelling.


He started complaining that when he uses a pillow it get very uncomfortable. We tried differnet pillows and he still doesn't want one. Do you think it would be okay if we just let him lay without a pillow or anything to keep his head up? (link)
uhm, if he can hold his head up himself then he can, but the doc said to keep his head elevated, so you need to keep his head elevated. have him lay on the floor with his head on the first stair up if you have stairs and REALLY doesn't want a pillow.

Tell him I hope he feels better soon :)


I'm a tiny little person (13/f) and my mom wants me to exercise. Aside from burning off fat and staying at a healthy weight, why is it important to exercise? (link)
because if you don't, then when you HAVE to do something physical, you're less prepared to and will run out of breath/energy faster, also, even if you're a healthy weight, not exercising can increase your risk of heart disease.


Okay welll... 13/f and i am getting a white discharge in my underwear and it does not smell good at all. I have started my period so its nothing like that i mean it might involve it but its not warning me or anything. Never have been sexually active either so i dont know how to clean better down there and have tht stuff stop coming out. also. how are you and what are u supposed to be cleaning with down in tht region?Does it help to shave?
(link)
you may have a yeast infection!

yay yeast (kidding)

see your doc.

feelbetter soon! :)

EDIT:
Even if you're 13 you can get yeast infections smartone, and I DID give advice, GO TO YOUR DOCTOR, I do not know your medical history, and therefore cannot tell what treatment would be best for you.


I have known this girl since kindergarden right. Now we are in 8th grade and for some reason, this year i really seem to like her. I mean she is nice, funny, smart, and very beautiful. How can i not like her. But the problem is, i have trouble finding the courage to ask her out. I am good with girls in the sense of friendship, but when it comes to love life, im a mess. I am 14 and she is 13. i am 11 months older than her but i really dont see that as an issue. But i always get nervous when i tcomes to askig a girl out nd i did it once, she said ye, than rejeted me the next day. (that was a different girl). Is it normal to be that nervous? Oh and one more thing, what do you ask when you want to ask her out. I really am not good with "pick-up" line. Thanks (link)
Don't use pickup lines. They're dumb. Tell her how you feel and then ask if she'd like to go on

Yes it's normal to be nervous.


I haven't yet had sex with my boyfriend. He has told me that he hasn't had unprotected sex for 2 years, and so I shouldn't worry about STDs. However, he has been sexually active for 5 years - before 2 years ago he had unprotected sex with several partners. 2 questions: how worried should I be about him having something, that maybe hasn't shown itself yet? And how can I suggest to him nicely that he get tested? (link)
You should be very worried, alot of the time STDs show no symptoms. Tell him that you're worried about both of your health and that you need him to get tested, just to put your mind at ease.


Me and one of my friends wanted to play a prank on this annoying guy that had been stalking another friend of ours that works as a waitress. Well actually there were 3 people in on the prank. The owner and chef of the restaurant encouraged us to do this because his waitress (our friend) had been complaining about this guy that always came into the restaurant, asked her out repeatedly, bought her unwelcomed gifts and then followed her home after her shift. So this was the joke: we went into the porn shop, bought all these sex toys, wrapped them, and then signed it to him from a "secret admiror". This would give him a taste of his own medicine. Well when he went into the restaurant and picked up his gift, he blamed it on another customer, and now our friend that owns the restaurant is mad at me and my friend for having one of his regulars upset. But it was HIS idea. I also found out that he thinks that I have a crush on the creep who was stalking the waitress. When I asked why I was told because I was one the ringleaders in the prank. I was furious and told everyone that it was a joke that went too far, and that I wished I hadnt gotten involved. How can I make things right? And why should I have to apologize because I wasnt the only one in on this. (link)
because you WERE involved, every one else should apologise too. And his stalking is a reason to call the police, not pull dumb pranks.
