i am frightened to drive behind the wheel with the instructor. i'm afraid of the instructors yelling at me. please help, i need serious answers. how can i make myself less scared? (link)
just try to relax. take a few deep breaths. most instructors know that you'll be nervous. it couldn't hurt to let your instructor know how nervous you are.


if i realli like this guy is it wrong to ask him out?? (link)
hell no! go for it!!!!!!


(fyi im f) today i was working out, and during the end of my work out/ after my stomach felt awful! I felt like I was going to have major "bathroom time" and cramps at the same time. though i never had to do either. i mainly ran, and did some weights. what could have caused this? could it just be cramps coming? thanks! (link)
you could have pulled or over extended your ab muscles or you could be coming down with that nasty stomach virus that has been invading the US lately. if it continues consult your doctor.


I don't think anyone will really know the answer to this, but it's worth a shot.

Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time. *stop reading if you don't want any spoilers, but considering it's 12 years old I think I'm on the safe side* Anyway... at the end Jenny dies, presumably of AIDS. It seems like the symptoms point to it. That said, wouldn't that mean that Forrest and Forrest Jr. end up dying? The end does not imply that at all but that's the only thing that makes any sense. If she had AIDS and then gave birth, she passed it onto Junior. Having sex with Forrest to conceive Junior would have passed it on as well.

Sorry. This has just been bothering me for a long time because even though it's just a movie I'd be sad if they had to die too. :( heh. (link)
it's possible that jr. could have been infected with the virus as well as Forrest himself but it is more difficult for a man to catch the disease from a woman as it is for a woman to get it from a man.


Is dance a sport? Now I don't need your opinions I need the facts, the proof that dance is or is not a sport, becuase I don't think it is, but I need to find out. Thanks (link)
I think so. I danced from the time I learned to walk until I damaged my knee as a senior in high school. You are just as active in dance class as you are on a basketball court or on a track. keep it up it's great excercise.


my dog is a maltese and turning 2 years old [ i guess 14 in dog years ] and lately has been barking a lot at night. he used to when he first got here but stopped. about a week ago he started to bark after everyone goes to sleep. so i have to keep going down stairs and wake up and either hit his cage or take him out to the garage for him to run around and come in...but he keeps barking a few minutes after i go up. what should i do? should i try to tire him out by running with him or something right before we go to sleep? or will that have an opposite effect and have him wanting to play more? please i'm desperate - i havn't been able to sleep at all because i'm the only one who is willing to go downstairs. thanks in advance. (link)
is he neutered? that would be my suggestion you might want to consult your vet and make sure there's not something really wrong


ok my youngest is 11 and he still sleeps with me. i have tried everything to get him in his own bed, but he just continues to sleep with me...any advice on how to get him sleeping alone in his own bed? (link)
If he has his own room try redecorating it to make it fun for him to stay in. if this is not a possibility try sleeping in his room for a week lessening the amount of time each night until youre only there to kiss him goodnight. kind of like weening a baby from the bottle. I sympathize. I have 6 kids thank goodness i never really had that problem.


im 13/f and i've just gotten my first boyfriend. He thinks of it as serious and so do I, he got me a dozen roses for Valentines and had them delivered to my 6th period class. I really like him and I wand to kiss him. I know this sounds incredibly stupid but does anyone have any advice because I'm really nervous and I don't know what to do and we're going to the movies saturday and I'm pretty sure he's gonna... (link)
Go with the flow. it usually comes very naturally but don't rush it you are still young and have lots of time to make decisions like that.


Is it true that guys don't really like hand jobs? And that everytime they get a girl to give them a handjob, they are really just looking for a way to convince the girl to give him a blow job? (if that makes sense) (link)
Guys just like to be touched. you could do it through clothes and most of the time they would be satisfied even though they won't admit it


my ex boyfriend told some people i work with that i tried to give him head, whcih is NOT true. i started yelling at him about it thru and IM and he was just like "gosh ur always trying to find ways to talk to me, if u want to talk to me be nice don't be mean" and he signed off. I AM SO MAD bc i don't WANT to talk to him...I HATE HIM but i'm sooo mad about why he told people at work that and he supposedly "can't remember ever doing that" what can i say to him to get it thru his brain i don't want to talk to him but he needs to stop talking ABOUT me?

(link)
Sweetie don't worry about him anymore. there are plenty of other guys out there and yes most of the time they like to talk trash don't pay them any attention trust me life gets better


how would you define cheating??

kissing, sex, multiple relationships, etc etc??

i was juss curious.

thanks!! (link)
different people have different ideas about cheating. my idea of cheating if you are in a monogomus relationship is pretty much anything physically intimate with another person male or female. the whole idea of commitment is to commit your life and everything in it to one person.


What exatcly is add? and whats the difference between add and ADHD. My friend has add, and i thought adhd was when you were a little hyper. and when shes hyper but shes claims she has add? (link)
ADD is attention deficit disorder whereas ADHD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADD means it's harder for those people to pay attention to one thing for long periods of time and ADHD is the same thing but they have a problem with hyperactivity.


Hi, my legs and thighs are very muscular from playing tennis. Is there any way I can slim them down and make them thin instead of so muscular?

Thanks so much

Don't worry about it honey. Alot of guys go for women with great muscular legs. Trust me I have one of them.


14/f

don't rush the sex thing you are really too young to be so overwhelmed by a situation like that. be young and enjoy life. if you do decide to go all the way just remember to be safe or you just might end up being called mommy for the rest of your life or even worse.


When guys say "I'm Hung" what are they talking about, I know there talking about their 'lower half' but what about it?!
Please help, I'll rate high for a good answer (link)
they are talking about length. for some reason guys think it's all about length.


i just got my period i take a bath soon i know that you have to take your pad off but how does the blood stop coming out if u take a bath or a shower. explain them both to me fast and i will right all 5s if u hurry (link)
honey don't worry the blood will stop long enough for you to take a shower. It is important to stay clean at this time to avoid any infection. If you are worried about getting blood everywhere drip off alittle in the shower before drying and then use some toilet paper to dry the area with so you don't get anything on the towel. If you do it will be fine--blood does come out in the wash. Relax and Smile!!!!!!!


over a period of time about 6 months i have become infatuatated with my colleugues wife. whenever i go to her house to see my collegue i keep staring at her. some times i feel she is also doing the same some times.i have definiteky seen her doing the same. I am 45yrs old happily married.she is about 40.I have a hunch that she wants me to make a move but i am not sure.i want to to take minimum of risk as the consequences are too much to bear.on other hand i feel a fling for a short time is not bad as we only live once.please help me (link)
look if you are happily married why do you even want to think these things? i know that we are only human and we all do this once in a while, but you probably need to pay more attention to your wife. maybe even discuss this with her.


I am overweight (13 yrs old, 5ft 4in, and 140 lbs) so I use a bathroom scale to check my weight 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening. Why is my weight different at those 2 times of the day? How do I know which one is telling the truth? Are any of the scales telling the truth? Because one time I went to the doctor and I weighed more on that scale than on the one I own at home. Why are these weights all different? How much do I really weigh? Help me please! What should I do? (link)
first off don't weigh in soo much!! this just makes you anxious and paranoid. try just weighing in once or twice a week. All scales are adjusted differently. how often do you use the doctor's scale? if it's not more than once a month or at a regular check up i would stick to using the weight on your bathroom scale.


My sister-in-law is getting married and moving away at the end of the month. I've only known her for a year now, and we've just started to bond. I'm really upset and depressed that she's moving and I want to do something for her. The problem is, I don't have a lot of money, or any idea what I should do or what I should get her.

Does anyone have any ideas of something special we could do together before she leaves, or something I could give to her? I really want whatever I do to make an impression, and I'm going to miss her a lot.

I'll leave more information if anyone needs it. (link)
you don't have to have money to give a gift that comes from your heart. think back to all of the things you have done over the past year and make a scrap/memories book and half of it( at the end) empty so you could keep filling in more details. you could even do this together. it might mean a little more to both of you that way.


okay so theres this kid who really likes me and has asked me out so many times and each time i have politely said no, but lately he wont quit and keeps on asking me and asking me sometimes more than once a day! how do i tell him to stop asking me without being completely rude? (link)
sometimes you have to be a little rude. he needs to get the hint that you don't want to be bothered if it goes too far you might be looking at harrassment issues. talk to a guidence counselor and see what they think
