My boyfriend & I have been trying to have a baby for the past 4 months, but I can not get pregnant! We already know his sperm is good because he has 2 kids from a previous relationship. Could having a disease cause someone not to get pregnant? What kind of disease? How do you know if you are in-fertile? Why would I be in-fertile? WHY CAN'T I GET PREGNANT!?!? :0( (link)
Yes deseases can cause u to not be able to get pregnant, go to a gynocologist, they will tell you everything you need to no i promise!


I am 15 and have been going out with the same guy for 4 years. I lost my virginity 2 him when I was 14. He is starting to act way to controlling and we have gotten into several fist fights and he forces me to have sex with him sometimes. I met a guy on the internet that lives 1700 miles away. We have been talking for a while and I think I am in love with him. Is it possible to love someone that far away? He also says he loves me back, and wants to meet. Thanks (link)
i doubt you love him, just becuase youve nver met. youu probably just want another relationship besides the fucked up one you have now. So u just think your in love. But holi shit, dump your boyfreinds sorry ass...((forcing you to have sex..its called rape))and if he comes after you or gets upset, then fuckin call the cops...u dont need that your onli 15!!!maybe you could start visiting this guy from the interenet after you get through with your boyfreind....goodluck


I am a gay male in my 30’s, and have been in a loving, committed relationship with another male since I was 18 years old. I plan on being with this man for the rest of my life.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of my "coming out" to my parents. Back then, my relationship with my boyfriend was already in its 5th or 6th year, and it saddened me that I could not share its joy with my mother and father for whom I loved dearly. My honesty had brought me close to them again, and their acceptance has been a true blessing. I am grateful, for I know many others whose stories are not so lucky.
But this is not why I write.
My question has to do with my father. He does not judge me for being gay. He is very proud of his tolerance, and we have had many open and frank conversations about homophobia and my experiences with homophobia.
My problem is although he is not critical or judgmental about my lifestyle, he is overly critical and judgmental about every other aspect of my life. My job, my car, my driving, my diet, my finances, my clothes, my speech, my hair, my skin, my schedule, my everything are open territory to his persistent nagging. A thirty minute phone call with him can set me into a depression for a week. It would be easier if he hated me for being gay.
I often ask him questions about life and the lessons he has learned, but he replies with mean, personal attacks on my character. I am a very successful man in my field, and I feel his concerns are unwarranted. I have frequently told him as such.
Today, I feel I am fed up with trying to make him happy. During the holidays, he made me miserable because I did not live up to his regimented expectations. When the slightest thing is not perfect in my life, I cannot be honest with him and dishonesty is what I ran from 10 years ago. I fear his lectures, and I am starting to lie to him again. I love him because he is my father, but I do not like him.
He is so proud that he is man enough not to judge his son for being gay. Believe me, I am thankful. But, how do I get him to not judge me for being HUMAN?

I know the feeling, my dads the same exact way...constant naggin, never good enuff. Im still trying to figure out what to do, becuase hes the onli adult figure i have left in my life, and i love him with all my heart, but im just not quit good enuff. In order to keep myself from insanity, you have to pelase yourself first, honestly your too old to have to worry about what your father thinks, you live your own life now. You make yoru own decisions, and as long as your satisfied with your life decisions, then it shouldnt matter what your fatehr thinks. I know you wish you felt like you could do things better, but in all honesty your probably doing the best you can, and you dont need his pressure ontop of it all. maybe Your dad wished he did better with his life while he was gettin older, and hes just taking in out on u. My dad does that, he wants me to grow up and become rish and famous and settle for nothing less....which we all no is almost impossible.so just be yourself, and please yourslef..good luck..hope i helped


Everyone sayd first loves never die well i believe that.. I met my first love when i was 12 and i haven't forgot about him since im 17 now ! Everytime i date a different guy all i think about is him.. When i was 15 we started dating again.. But his parents made us break up because he was too old for me or so they said..Anywayz now i haven't seen him since and i can't stop thinking about him ! What should i do because i don't have his # or address?? (link)
im in love with a boi im not allowed to see either. And your right true love never dies..but you never no...you may never stop oving him, you just learn to live without him...and you will eventually end up loving someone else...maybe not as much as your first love...but you will move on. Its hard and painful, but if relationships dont work out, you cant push them..theres a reason they didnt work.
goodluck

I dont get good grades at all! I suk at skool! No kiddin bout it! Does n e one no good study habit's? (link)
write down notes in class, do all homework, and wen it comes to test and quizes just go over all the stuff you wrote down, and go in early on test days to go over stuff. But to study at home make flashcards...help with the memorization parts.
-hope that helps


I have a bf. And he's great adn all but he never calls me. When we're together we don't talk much, we basically just kiss and walk around together. It's only been two weeks wiht him but everybody says he never stays long with girls and usually dumps them after a week. (which is true because I happen to be one of those 1-weeker girls) but I really think hes changed. He looks at me like he likes me but recently I havent seen much of him adn I'm afriad I'll get dumed on valentines. I'm so paranoid adn I jsut need advice. I'm sorry it's long

What do you think of my situation?? What would you do or say?? (link)
ee..no beuno..he sounds like a jerk ne wayz....i think u should kinda let him do his own thing, and kinda plan to do other things for valentines, and if he does dump you...well sucs for him hes obviously scared of commitment, but you'll have other plans. move on man, he sounds like a total ass.

What am I supposed to do with my pubic hair? 14/f, and should I shave or wax or nothing? I don't want it to itch, but be comfortable. (link)
pubic hair is not something to keep there. I'd shave it, all that nair shit dont work too well..but then again shaving means it will come back...and the shitty part is its worse wen it comes back, so you could take the painful way out and do an all out brazilian wax...OUCH..but hey you gotta go through pain...bien a gurl and all!
-have fun with that

i hate that werd....break...Most guys tend to take that as, ok i still like this person but im gunna go see what other choices are out there, but most gurls tend to take it as...we just need som time apart, to think about shit....unless your a slut. so it just depends on the point of view


Ok, this guy I have liked forever told me somethings last night i confused me a bit. Well to start things off, we went to a dance at our school. When i got home i talked to him on AIM. He said he really screwed things up when it came to this he liked. He said that he thought she kept eyeing him throughout the whole thing. Which i was doing. Then he said that he never asked her to dance but he could tell that she wanted to...but he never had enought courage...and i never danced with him, but i deff. wanted to. But the wierd part was he never told me who it was...he refused, he usually always gives me a name of the he likes...so im wondering if its me this time. Please help me...i rate high (link)
hell yes its you man...and if its not....sucs...y the hell would he tell you all that shit and refuse to tell you the name.its gotta be you..

See, last night I put in my tampon at about 6:00. I wore it all night long and accidentally fell asleep with it in and wore it until 9:00 this morning. My stomach hurts a little but maybe that's because i got a little drunk last night? I dont know though, I'm scared because i've read so many things about Toxic Shock Syndrome. So what should i do? Thanks!! I rate! (link)
uhm i def think its the drinking...it'll do that to ya! no worries...but if your stomach hurts for more then just today..maybe go see a doctor


ugh okay. so i used to date this kid.. and everything was cool for a while until he started to be a real jerk to my friend. so we broke up and we got into this HUGE argument and it was a big ugly mess. & now, he's dating my "aquaintence" who is a slut, and i don't really like her but she thinks were really good friends but she smells terrible and he's only going out with her to get some action and its obvious. but everytime anyone mentions him or i see him (which is on a rare occasion, but i still do) i get really really really mad and i say im ok and blah blah blah im over it w/e.. but i dont think i really am.. wtf do i do to get fully over this mess? (link)
