so last week my boyfriend went to a group home in canton and he isnt getting out till the begining of next year. i promised him on our love that id be here waiting for him when he got out. sometimes its soo hard. i dont know what to do that will keep my mind off him so that i can last through this. because i really really wanna stay with him but it hurts. i had a dream last night that he called me and talked to me... and when i woke up i wanted to go back to sleep because i knew that we still havnt found out if he can call me or if i can come see him or anything. i dont know. im confused. im trying to get my friend to ask his p.o (because they have the same one) if i can have his number so i can call and ask him if i can go visit or call my boyfriend. any tips on how to convince him to let me?? (link)

I went through the same thing you're going through with my boyfriend. He was away for 6 months and we're still together (that happened over a year and a half ago). I was so worried and didn't know what to expect. His mom really liked me and felt I was a good influence on him, so she had a talk with his p.o. and eventually we were allowed to write each other letters (he could write me once a week, and call me once a week for 10 minutes). I could write him as much as I wanted but I couldn't call him. I'm sure it's different for every place, though. The best suggestion I can give you is to write him whenever you want to talk to him. I kept a big book of all the letters I wrote to my bf and gave them to him once he was allowed to get them. It made him feel really good to know that I cared that much. I wrote him a letter every single day he was away. The first month or two will be the hardest, but it doesn't get easier. The best thing I can tell you to do is to hang out with your friends to get your mind off of everything. I know it's so hard, but you can get through it. If you are on good terms with your bf's parents/guardian then they are probably the only ones that can convence his p.o. to let him have any sort of contact with you. He is probably going through a tough time right now, being away from everyone he knows. When he is allowed to have contact with you, make sure you let him know how much you care about him and that you're there for him. He probably really needs the support right now. Do you know what kind of place he's in? Also, what did he do to get in there? How old is he/ you? I can give you lots of details on what is going to happen if you want to e-mail me this info or talk to me about it online (XBrooklynHeights@aol.com s/n XBrooklynHeights). They are going to evaluate him based on what he did to get in their and give him counseling for it. If he stays on good terms with them and doesn't get in any trouble, they may release him early (unless he has to stay in there a minimun of so many months). He more than likely will have to go to school while he's there and he'll have an opportunity to get his G.E.D. (depending on his age etc.). Please feel free to write me an e-mail if you want to know anything else, or if you just want to talk. I wish you the best of luck and I hope this helps.

ok i got my permit in july & so my driving test is in january. i did not drive for like 2 weeks. ive been busy because school starts soon & i had to get ready for that. i really dont like driving. i feel like im behind, because all of my friends are going on the highway & they got their permit around the same time i did. i did roads in my town, but not the highway or main street. my mom said im very good & i know what im doing. i just feel really behind & they make it seem like its a competition when i know it isn't. do you think im behind?? i thought since january isn't really close to know, im fine. i never had any problems yet, not even one. can anyone give me their opinion or experience??
thanks!! (link)

Driving is different for everyone. You don't sound like you're that far behind, and if you feel as if you are, then practice driving. Whenever your parents need to go anywhere, take them. Don't be in the car with them when you aren't driving. The more you drive, the more comfortable you will feel behind the wheel. I suggest you practice more and drive when there isn't much traffic on the main street until you feel comfortable. When you are completely comfortable driving on the main streets, then practice on the highway, but make sure it isn't during rush hour!! Driving on the interstate is completely different from driving on the main roads, because you have to be able to react quickly (or quicker). For your driving test you should practice stopping at the stop sign and using your blinker when you're supposed to. Always wear your seatbelt. If you don't do all of these you can fail the test. You should keep both hands on the wheel in 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. Also, practice three point turns. Practice going in reverse. When you go in reverse, before you move, you need to turn around and put your right hand on the back of the seat next to yours, and look behind you, then gradually go in reverse. They can be really picky if you don't drive according to the driver's manual. I also recommend you take a driver's education class. They will teach you all of these things, and some insurance companies will give you a discount if you complete the class.

ok well i has lots of acne on my chin and my forheadi was wondering what i could get that really works but doesn't cost alot of money any thing would be great
Thanx in advance! (link)

There are several things you can buy that are inexpensive that work really well. First, there is a product that is called Nature's Cure. It is a two part acne treatment. It comes with morning and evening pills to take and a tube of vanishing cream. This costs about $8. There are also the face wash, toner, and lotion you can purchase separately, which is around $15. Another product which works is called Acne Free (it's similar to Proactiv, except not as expensive). It costs under $20. You can either purchase the regular acne-free, or you can get the one for severe acne. The one for severe acne, has the same steps, but has stronger medication which clears it up a little faster, and costs closer to $30. Acne-free also makes scar remover which comes with a moisturizer with spf 15 (which is sold separately and is under $20). All of these products are sold at Wallmart in the beauty section (close to the make-up, but not in the same isle, and should be next to each other). I have used all of these products, including Proactiv. Proactiv works well, but was too expensive for me at the time, and I have found that Acne-free works just as well and is less expensive, but the Acne-free for severe acne has stronger medication in it and I thought that was what I needed. I currently use the Acne-free for severe acne and Nature's cure (only the acne tablets). I hope this helped and good luck!

Im sorry this will be long, but please bear with me. I started talking to this guy a few months back, and we really hit it off. Problem was, he was hiding the fact that he has a girlfriend. Me and his girlfriend talked, and we were friendly with each other, but one day she said "I dont want you two to talk, I think youre getting too close" and she was right..we said we loved each other every time we talked, and we hung out a lot. We never kissed, but we held hands, and just did all the cutesy stuff. Things happened, and me and this guy stopped talking for a few days because we were fighting. Neither of us could stand it, we missed each other, so we started hanging out again. We eventually hooked up, and through a bit of trickery by his girlfriend, she found out. We fought but then things were okay but things keep getting mixed up and we keep fighting. I know I shouldnt talk to him anymore even thought I love him and I know he loves me. I need a way to get over him because I cant hurt his girlfriend like this anymore even though she has made me feel lower than dirt. I somewhat deserve it but I couldnt help kissing him back when he made a move. How can I forget about him when I still love him? (link)

You need to get over this guy. It sounds like he is just using you. I know you love him and he says he loves you, but if he really did, he would break up with his girl friend and be with you, right? You are worth so much more. You need to be with a guy who doesn't put you in this position. I was in your exact position one time. I dated this guy and we broke up. Then we started talking again and got really close. He never told me that he had a girlfriend, and once I found out, I was too involved with him and still continued to hang out with him. He stayed with his girlfriend for several months until FINALLY I got him to break up with her and be with me. Once he did this, he still continued to see her behind my back and this lasted for over a year. I broke up with him once I found out because all he ever did was lie and cheat. Our entire relationship was a lie. He continued to do the same thing to her with other girls for several years after that, until she finally had enough and broke up with him. Whenever you think about hanging out with him, just remember how he's hurting you. He's only going to break your heart and you need to move on before it gets worse. Hang out with your friends more and get to know other guys. They aren't all like that. I'm really sorry he's doing this to you. I hope this helped. Good luck!

female,
ok im going to be a freshman, so i just have a couple of questions about homecoming. =0
is it better to go with friends or a date? and what if ur not a really lively dancer but then when you get into it and do some things you will regret later.
also dresses dresses dresses! lol ok so what is the average i should spend on a dress and should i wear heels and what kind, also should i take a purse? and what are some good styles of dresses that are in now and how long should they be?? i need all the dirt about homecoming!! also if i go with friends should i rent a limo?? or is it too much for a dance like that. umm just anythign would be great mostly about the dress, how long, best color, best cut, best hair do, makeup, shoes, and stuff like that! also include best stores to buy them and when i should start shopping and how much is it worth to spend! thank you!! (link)

I think that since this is the first dance in highschool that you shouldn't worry too much about it, because if things go wrong, you have three more homecomings and your junior and senior prom to go to!! Just treat this one as a practice one. When I was a freshman in highschool I went with a guy who was one of my good friends. He was too nervous to actually talk to me, so I ended up hanging out with my friends the entire time anyway. As for dancing, it's fun, but you don't HAVE to dance. At every dance I've been to there were tables and food and ALWAYS people sitting down and just hanging out. I'm sure it's different for each school though. About dresses, first you need to find out if it is semi-formal or a formal homecoming. Semi-formal means that you should wear a dress that comes to your knees (you don't have to if you want to wear one that comes to the floor). Formal means that you should wear a dress that is longer (to your feet). I went to the Body Shoppe and found one for under $40 (I seriously think it was $20 but I don't remember for sure). They have some really cute but inexpensive semi-formal dresses, if you're lucky enough to find one that cheap. You may end up spending up to $100 on one though, but I'd save that for when you went to prom (prom dresses are really expensive, I think I paid around $150 for mine if not more). There are different places in the mall that sell cute dresses, just go into some stores and look. We have a jessica mcclintock store in my mall here, and there are lots of dresses there. I know David's Bridal has tons of dresses. For homecoming, especially your freshman year, renting a limo would be fun, but is not necessary. Most people don't do that until highschool. If you and a group of friends want to go out and rent one together and split the cost of the limo, that maybe you could do that. It would be fun! Limos can be rather expensive. I think they run about $65 an hour (I'm not sure how much they are where you live, but you could call around for the best price). My dress for homecoming was black and dark purple. It was simple, with straps, and I wore black heals (there are TONS of shoe places that sell cute prom shoes, just shop around and see the ones you like best). I carried a small black purse with just my house keys and my camera (I highly suggest bring a camera with you, even if it's disposible, so you can take pictures). I went and got my hair done about 2-3 hours before homecoming. They did it in a french twist with curls coming down on the sides and in the back. Look at hair style magazines and pick out the one you like best. When you've found one, go out and get it done professionally. This can cost around $50-$100, depending on where you go and what you want done. You could also get your nails and make-up done too. If you are good at putting your make-up on yourself, then I suggest you do it, but if there is a place in your area that gives lessons, then I suggest you try it out. They will show you which colors are best for you etc. Most day-spa salons do make-up and nails, just get out the phone book and call around and ask!! You should start looking around A.S.A.P. the sooner you find a dress, the sooner you won't have to worry about it anymore. As for how much you spend, that's up to you. I wouldn't go too overboard, since this is your first dance, unless you just want to. For a dress and shoes, I wouldn't spend more than $175, for a limo, no more than $200, hair, nails and make-up, no more than $120. This comes to around $500. You definitely don't have to spend that much if you really shop around and get the best prices. Also, if you don't want to spend that much, just get a nice dress, shoes, do your hair and make-up yourself and HAVE FUN!!! I hope this helped!!! And feel free to ask me anymore questions you have! Good luck and have fun!

So this pimple.. more like .. an infected hair follicle.. was found on my face. My mother pointed that out.
I plucked the hair.. and popped it.. I guess. o.o and got all of the fluid out. I put neospoiron on it.
It's flat and scarred.
What do I do now?
Should I contiune with the neosporin or just forget about it?
*I know I shouldn't pop pimples so please don't tell me that*
It was huge and it hurt. (link)

I've used this stuff called Acne Free Scar Remover. They sell it at walmart for $15. It comes in two steps. The first step is the lotion, which you apply to the areas of your skin that are scarred. The second step is the moisturizer with SPF 15. You need to wear the moisturizer because when you put the lotion on your face, you shouldn't go out in the sun without sunblock. This stuff really works. Also, being in the sun makes your scars apear darker. I hope this helped and good luck!

You can go to any Victoria's Secret and they will measure you and tell you what size you are. There are other places that do fittings also, but you have to check in your area. I hope this helps!

Alright, I really need advice on this question. I think I might have depression. You see, lately I have been feeling so bad about myself for no reason. I've been getting so upset over the most obscure things, getting so jealous of other people, and just disliking myself. I've been crying for no apparent reason, and I have the worst mood changes. It's like I'm really happy one minute and then I get really bummed out and start crying and idk why. I always feel like everyone's so much better than me and I suck at everything but deep down I know that's not true. I have extremely low self confidence and I have no clue why because I have a lot of loving friends and family. And I took a depression screening test online and it said I might have moderate depression. I really want to start feeling better, but I'n afraid to tell my mom and family. My mom will probably just say that I don't have depression and get angry at me because she might think I'm blaming her for something. My parents are the best parents ever and sometimes I feel selfish for being sad all the time because I know there are people way worse off than me. So, what I'm asking is: Do you think I have depression? And how can I tell my family I need help without them thinking I'm blaming them for being sad? I really don't think this is just what teenagers go through, because it seems like all of my other friends are happy all the time and I'm always bummed out. Please help. Thanks. (link)

It sounds to me like you do have depression. There are many different types of depression, which are caused by a chemical imbalance. If the chemical, serotonin, isn't produced enough, then this makes you sad. I'd suggest that you ask your mom to make you a doctors appointment and talk to your doctor about it. They will refer you to a psychiatrist which will prescribe you medication that will help you (most often Zoloft, Welbutrin, Paxil). Many people suffer from depression. Girls are twice as likely to have depression than guys. They have hormonal changes which are caused by puberty, menstration, pregnancy and menopause. This is a very common thing which should be addressed. Just explain to your mom how you are feeling and that you read online that it could be caused by a chemical imbalance and ask her if you can make a doctors appointment to get it checked out so you can feel better. If you want, you can check out these websites also. They may help you understand this better. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Im very into technology and I have a slightly embarassing question. I have to send a letter from Rhode Island to California. How many stamps do I put on it? How much do I pay for stamps? I've no idea.
Thank You! (link)
| |
If it's just a regular letter with a regular invelope you only put one stamp on it. However, if it is larger, then you should take it to the post office and they'll tell you how much it will cost. I suggest that if you aren't sure, then you should go to your post office and let them mail it for you. I believe that stamps are $.39 now. You can also look online at www.usps.com to find your local post office. I hope this helped!

Well I dont have super bad acne but enough pimples to where Im very consious about it. Ive tried everything you could name, even pro activ but none of it works for me. It will get rid of it for a little while then it will come back.
So I was wondering if anyone knew anything you can make at home like a mask, paste, routine, that will help clear it up. I need something that will actually work so please dont say 'toothpaste' or something cheesy and stupid like that.
Thanks a bunch!
Oh and I also do not want to go out and buy products, just something I can do at home or make at home. (link)

Here are three at home remidies you can use to clear up your acne. And if you do decide to try something else from the store, I recommend either Acne Free (sold at Walmart and $15). It is very similar to Proactiv because it has the same three steps, but you can also get the acne scar remover which really works. Another good product is Nature's cure. You can get the pills to take daily which will help a lot. And another thing you could try is called VitaClear (which are vitamins that clear up acne). I hope this helps!

ok i'm a girl and i really want to start shaving my legs but i cant ask my mom because im embarassed and kinda shy. i went to this website to get a free schick quattro women's razor and it came in the mail yesterday and my mom opened it (while i was on the computer downstairs) and she put it in her room. and today i saw the razor still in the package in her closet. the whole point of me getting that free razor is that i thought my mom would actully give it to me and be like "you can use this" or something so i wouldnt have to ask her myself. so what im trying to say is that how can i ask my mom if i can start shaving my legs? like not giving her a whole lecture just saying something quick like can i start shaving or something (without writing a note or anything) thanks so much and sorry if it was to much to read! (link)
| |
If I were you I'd just ask her. My mom didn't want me shaving until I was a certain age, but I told her that all the boys at school were making fun of me (which they weren't) just so she'd let me shave. It worked! So you could tell her something like that or you could just tell her that you got the free razor for youself and ask her if she'll let you have it. She may talk to you about it (because that's just how moms are), but just remember, after she talks to you about it, you'll be able to do it, so what can it hurt? I hope this helped.

I'm 17 almost 18 and I fell in love with the perfect guy we've been dating a couple months now and his family loves me and my family loves him. We have both hinted at marriage and we both are going in the same direction. He's 21 and I met him through friends. But i'm scared that I'm going to get my heart broken. He's the first guy thats ever been nice to me in a relationship and didnt expect things from me. I guess I'm just confused on how to take all this in. We both act almost as if we are almost ready, but I'm getting impatent waiting for him to pop the question. What can I do to hint that i think we should take the next step or should I wait for him to do it?
love,
~Christina~ (link)

It is so great that you found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. I'd suggest that you wait it out and let him ask you. You can ask questions like "how many kids do you want" and make comments like that to him that suggest you're thinking about more. However, keep getting to know each other and in time, when it's right, he'll ask you. You have your whole life ahead of you to get married. Enjoy dating for a while and all the things that dating brings. And I suggest that before you actually get married that you do pre-marrital counseling to discuss different things about the two of you (different parenting styles, raising kids, how many you want, money issues, religion, carrers etc.) Just be there for each other and motivate one another in your careers/ school. Save up for your own place and such (I assume you still live with your parents) and get ready for the long road ahead! I hope this helped and good luck!

ugh this is so annoying. i dont have like, normal acne. it's usually just a litle bump or redness but no pimple that i can see. also, i have 3 non raised scabs because i try to get rid of them but basically all i end up doing is picking it because i get frustrated and then i get a little scab thing and its impossible to cover up. yeah i know that sounds gross lol but is there any way i can fix it ? thanks (link)

Well, you could visit a dermatologist and get medication that will help clear up your acne, or if that is too expensive, I suggest you use acne medications such as Proactive (which you can order online and costs about $40) or something called Nature's Cure (about $20?) which is sold at Walgreens, or Acne Free (about $15 for the three step treatment and $15 for the scaring treatment), which is sold at Wallmart. These are all good to treat acne. Usually you will see results right away, but give them at least 2 weeks to work. AND don't pick at your pimples!! It only makes it worse. You can cause scaring and it just irritates the bumps you already have and makes them stay longer. If you use any face wash, make sure it has 2% Salicylic Acid in it because that is the best medication for acne. I hope this helped!

For the past 2 years I have gotten really close with this guy who is A LOT older than me. He's 36 and Im 14/f But latley we've gotten really close. Like were dating? I don't know. its not like he's a pervert or anything. But I've i guess fallen in love with me. We're both musicians and we share an amazing passion together. I can stop it whenever I want to , but i can't. I guess you can't help who you fall in love with. The thing is that no one knows about it and hes married! So im really confused. but if i tell my mom or anyone there goes my lessons with him and band and everything ive worked for. and i love him. what should i do and is this okay that were together? (link)

Please, go talk to your mom right now about it. She won't be mad at you or think anything less about you, but this is wrong on his part. I know you feel like you have a connection with him, but this is what pedophiles do to manipulate young girls. Just trust me on this. You have to tell someone about this and stop it before anything else happens. He has to be reported. Him being married, which is the least of your worries, is very wrong. I don't know how else I can stress this to you. Please contact me asap (e-mail XBrooklynHeights@aol.com, s/n XBrooklynHeights) so I can help you. This is so important.

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 6 months now and we are both virgins, and today we were making out and things were getting a little "hot and heavy" so to speak and he told me that the wants to lose his virginity to me. I was a little shocked and didn't know what to say in return, so I said something stupid like "Oh? Really?" and he said "Yes, because I love you and I want to experience everything with you" He is the only boy I've done anything with other then french kissing, and I know that I'm not ready to have sex right now. But I'm afraid I might have hurt his feelings when I didn't say anything back to him when he told me. I guess I was afraid that if I told him I wanted to lose my virginity to him [which I do....someday] he would want to have sex right then and there. What should I do? Any advice at all would be wonderful.
Thank you (link)

Tell him how you feel. Don't be afraid to hurt his feelings. Tell him that you aren't ready to have sex yet, but that when the time is right, that you would like to share it with him too. Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable doing, you'll only regret it later. Make sure you are ready and educated enough to make your own desicions. Find out about birth control and discuss with him the posibility of getting pregnant. If you are not comfortable talking to him about intimate things, then honestly, you aren't ready to have sex with him. Think about all the things that come with having sex, like the consequences it can bring. What if you got pregnant or if your parents found out? Also, think about the good things that come with it. It is special and should be shared with someone you're in love with. Your first time shouldn't be something you regret. Once you've thought about all the possibilities and decided to have sex, be open about it and have fun. Talk about it with him and read about it online. When you first start out having sex it can be very confusing and complicated and it can really change things between people. The younger you are, the more complicated it becomes because you experience all these emotions which can be confusing. And how would you feel if something happened between you and your boyfriend and you two broke up? What if he cheated on you? I know that is something that you don't want to think about, but it happens. Also, how would you feel if in 3 or 4 years you found someone who you loved even more than the guy you're with now and you wanted to experience the same thing with him? Would you regret your first time being with the guy you're with now? There's just so much to think about and many responsibilities that come with having sex. Just talk to him about it and tell him how you feel! I hope I helped.

All day my sister has been stratching me pinching me hitting me and kicking me. Everytime we have the littlest arguement which is litally every 2 seconds, she has to hurt me in some way. She even bites me! I have marks all over my skin from everytime shes ever hurt me. My arms and legs are covered in stratches blood marks and brusies from her. I know all sisters fight with eachother but sometimes I feel like it gets outta hand. Today, she got mad at me and stratched me and she wouldn't stop I kept yelling get away from me and stuff and she wouldn't stop so I pinched her so she would get the fuck away from me. One little pinch sends her into tears and she runs to my mom and of course no matter how much my sister hurts me, if my sister is in one little pain of discomfort and blames it on me my mom will always take my sisters side. I showed my mom all of the marks, and she goes good I'm glad she does that to you, if you got hit by a bus right in front of me it would be hard for me to PRETEND like I actually care. I never care what people say to me but when it's my actual mom I break down crying because I hate knowing people don't care about me. My sister pinned me down on the floor and handcuffed my hands with my dads old handcuffs (he used to be a police 20 years ago) and she started kicking me so hard and pinching me I couldn't move I felt like I was going to burst and just die. My mom was 2 feet away watching all of this happen and kept saying hit her harder, hit her harder. My mom doesn't care what happens to me. So I was still pinned down in hand cuffs so I tried to kick her with my leg to get her away from me but I was closing my eyes and by mistake I LIGHTLY kicked her "bad arm" to make her stop torturing me and she starts balling her eyes out. Of course my mom yells on the top of her lungs "GODS GOING TO GET YOU DONT YOU DARE TOUCH MY BABY YOU USELESS PEICE OF SHIT GO SLIT YOUR WRISTS." I said "mom did you see what she was doing to me she had me pinned down in hand cuffs what did you expect me to do just sit there." And she goes "I don't care what she does to you I hope you die." and she walked away. I ran up to my room crying. And then about 20 minutes ago my sister got mad because we were playing a ps2 game and she lost so she pulled my long hair so hard a huge chunk of it came out and I didn't cry but I tried to hit her but she ran away so fast so I popped her balloon that she got 3 days ago from a restaurant. My sister told my mom (but of course left out the part about her pulling me hair) and my mom started yelling at me and threw me on couch and just started beating me she hit my head so hard about 9 times it still hurts and she tried to choke me with the balloon and tried to stuff it down my throat. I managed to get away and I ran up to my room. I'm 13 and my sister is 10 so of course she never gets in trouble. My sister gets so much clothes and toys and cds and anything she wants she automatically gets no matter how stupid it is. My parents don't buy me any clothes I have to wear the same clothes from 2 years ago that don't even fit me any more. They don't buy me any nice things and when we go out to eat they don't even let me buy a drink and make me order off the kids menu when I'm 13 and I'm skinny but I eat A LOT and I finish the kids meal in 5 minutes and I'm starving while my sister 3 years YOUNGER then me is munching on a huge steak with 3 sides. I hate it!!!! My sister never gets hit and I always do. My mom throws me against walls and she even does it infront of my friends!!!! I can't stand this my sister always hurts me and I always get in trouble. I tried the police, but my mom lies so much so of course they believe my mom. My friends help me out so much and make me feel so much better but if they arn't at my house they can't see whats happening to me and its up to me not to get myself killed because no one else cares.
What do I do? I'm sick of living like this. My mom and dad won't even let me have a talk to them about it. (link)

I can't believe that your family would do this to you. You NEED to tell someone about it. Maybe a teacher at school or a guidence counselor. If that doesn't work, call child protective services. By law they have to investigate every child abuse allegation. Show them the bruises. If there is any way you can, set up a tape recorder or a video recorder and try to get it on tape. This will help you when you show them to the police or child services. Take pictures of the bruises and get your friends to write statements saying what they saw. Make sure you keep telling people. If they don't believe you, then go to someone else. What state do you live in? I'll help you contact someone who can help you and put you somewhere you can't be hurt. Please keep your head up and know that this is WRONG and it's not your fault. No one deserves to be treated like this. Your mom should NEVER lay a hand on you in anger. That is child abuse. If you contact me via e-mail (XBrooklynHeights@aol.com) or instant message (s/n XBrooklynHeights) I will try to help you any way I can. Is there any way you can talk to one of your friend's parents for support or stay with them for a while until you can get the help you need? I think it would be a very good idea to get an adult whom you trust on your side. Try to stay around your friends as much as you can and remember that people do love you and they do care about you. You're just in a really bad position right now. I hope to hear from you.

I'd suggest to get a pregnancy test to make sure. You can get one at any drug store. They cost between $10- $20, depending on what kind you buy, but make sure you read the directions very carefully so you do it correctly to get an accurate reading. The symptoms you had are signs of pregnancy, but could also (slight chance) be cause by other things. Another major symptom is morning sickness and cravings. If you don't want to tell your parents just yet and you can get a ride some other way, just to make sure, you can go to Planned Parenthood (get the address and the phone number out of the phone book to see where the closets one is to your area). You can just call them and set up an appointment (you may be able to just do a walk-in). They will give you a free pregnancy test and go over the results with you. If it is positive and you are pregnant, they can help you get set up with an insurance company (if you dont have insurance already). Also, they will give you free vitamins to take for the baby. Another option is adoption if you do not want to keep the baby. And if you choose, abortion is a third option. I would suggest talking to your mom about it if you have a relationship with her where you can. I know some girls don't and become scared and end up getting an abortion. I hope everything works out for you. Feel free to contact me if you have anymore questions!

If your feelings about this guy are that strong, maybe you could drop hints to see how he feels. Flirt with him a little or see if he wants to hang out with you. Besides, if he finds out you like him, whats the worst that could happen. And, if you don't ever tell him you'll regret it later. There is also a possibility that he likes you too and is scared to tell YOU! What if that happened and you guys went your whole lives never knowing how the other felt? Just let him know that you really care about him somehow and that you think about him a lot. I know you said that was out of the question, but it's worth a try. Maybe you could write him a note and tell him that you think you may have a crush on him. Maybe not let him know that you've been totally in love with him for the past 5 years, but that lately you might have become somewhat interested in him and see what he says about it.

Ok...there's this guy i like, but im not the type of girl who can just walk up to somebody and start a conversation and ask them out. I want him to do it. Is there anything i can do to maybe get him to notice me more?? (link)

Find reasons to be around him more. Become friends with his friends or maybe you could see if a group of friends wants to go to the movies or bowling and ask him along (and if you can't do it, get a friend to!). Throw a party and invite him. If you could find it in yourself to talk to him, maybe you could start a conversation about a class you are taking together (assuming you are in the same class or even go to school together). If not, maybe you could talk about a mutual friend (nothing bad, of course). See what kind of music he listens to and try to talk to him about that. Or, if that fails, you could write him a note. I hope I helped a little. Good luck.

sorry if the catagory is wrong...I am starting a job selling nail polish kits at a trade fair for three weeks tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous because I don't know if I can really sell people things. If anyone has any tips on how to sell this stuff, or what would convince you to buy nail polish kits. The website is: http://www.konadnail.com/ if it helps. Thanks so much. (link)

The key to selling anything is confidence. You have to believe in what you're selling and be knowledgeable about the product. You could try practicing on someone and become convincing. Also, demoing the product on someone always helps. I work at Bath and Body Works and studies show that people buy 7 out of 10 products we demo on them just because they get to try it. Show them how to use it and then let them see how it works for them self. I read on the link to the konadnail page that you can stamp a design on your nail and it comes in different designs? Well, let them see which ones they like and let them do it them self to see how simple it is and see how it works! Just believe in yourself and I'm sure you'll do great! I hope this helped.
