Q: I'm 15 and I think I have social anxiety disorder. My parents keep urging me to get help from a counsellor.. but I can't. It's really pathetic but for me the idea of having to sit in a room with a total stranger and answer questions or something is pure torture. I want to get help but how can anyone help me when I can't speak to people?
your right , it is uncomfrtable to sit with someone in a room and lay everything out on the table . for you to get over this with out seeing someone you need to figure out what bothers you . do you think you'll say the wrong thing or people will think what you say is silly ? did someone or something contribute to this ? where you once embarassed because you messed up on a speach or something and now its hard for you to talk to people ? think ! you couldn't of just been born with this , humans are ment to talk and communicate . think what will happen if you talk to someone , most likely you'll get a responce and everything will be okay . when you feel tense talking to someone calm your self , when you tense yourself it puts a defencive wall around you because you are afraid of them . try this , say hello to 4 stranger in school who look like nice people , try someone in one of your classes and ask for the homework assignment or ask someone else for the time or say you don't get the assignment . try boys and girls . good luck.

Q: I have a ten-year old sister and she has a bf. One day i caught them making out. I didn't make much of it. When I came back she was sucking his penis. I don't want my sister to be a sex addict but how do i confront her about this?
we because your sisters TEN and shouldn't even be intrested in boys or kissing i say just go to the parents , that behaver at such a young age will lead to her getting pregnate and doing drugs and very thing you don't want her to be in to

Q: Ok well this is gonna need ot be answered really quick. There is a popular girl on AIM right now and sheis nice to me, should i say hi? She doesnt know I have her sn, I got it iff her myspace...

Q: Ok, I have this really rare blood type (AB-) and my mom told me that if I want to have children, I have to go with my "partner" to get tested to see what blood types can mix with each other and be ok. She said if I mix body fluids (blood) with someone that isn't the same type as me, I'll die. And I really like this guy, but I don't know what blod type he is. And I don't want anyone to know that we....um, yeah. And I'm just....full of freaking questions! I'm such a dork!
that is so untrue , when you have a child your blood doesn't mix and doesn't need to be the same , the DNA will take the most comman blood type and that is what the child will usually get , you should get tested for any infection thought , thats a good idea , you won't die , i think your mommay have been kidding or she may want to know then your going to have sex .

Q: my skin has been ripped off of my arms, and I was planning on just replacing it with saran wrap, but I'd like to know of some other methods of dermalogical reconstruction. I am on a tight budget.
no saran wrap , you'll sweat and you'll get an infection and the skin is suposed to have some air to breath or else it will die (thats why band aids have holes oh the sides ) . im sure you have some neosporin around the house , first wash it with antibacteria soap then put some topical medicine like neosporin on and use a large band aid unless its very big then get some medcial tape which is cheap and cotton puffs and use that . if its really serious then go to the ER , you can get a very bad infection like gangreen or an infection will spread and you'll need an amputation!.

Q: well my boyfriend did soemthing stupid and lost his MP player and he hasnt even had it for a week.(only 2) and cant find it his mother has been askin him about it(they were out of town) and he doesnt know what to do.. i offered to get it for him because if he parents find out then he cant get his license and come and see me. (that means i got to wait a another year) the MP players is 90 dollars i got 400 in my bank account but it is a sub account from my mothers.. my question is can I take money out of it since it is under MY name and if so how can i do this?? thanks in advance
you can't unless your 18 years old and unless your mom has given the bank secial instruction to let you take out money whenever , because its a sub account and your mother has to sign to let you take the money out even if your over 18 .

Q: Umm this is kind of hard to ask but... why does it feel like I'm peeing razor blades? I heard this could be either connected to a bladder infection or an STD. I've never really had sex except with these guys that kind of dress up like girls, because I heard you can get STD's from having sex with women. But you can't get STD's from anal/oral sex right? Well what I'm trying to say is does anyone know what I can do to make the pain go away, short of chopping off my own penis with a butcher's cleaver. 13/m if that helps.
you should got to a doctor it could be STD'S you CAN get std's from oral and anal sex . man or woman you can get STD's . it may not be STD'S depending on how long ago you had sex and the person you had it with may have passed on STD'S or an infection . there is no way to tell except by geting tested which i recommed you do because it can hurt you and if you sleep with someone else not knowing you have std's you pass it on to them and the cycle continues . to help the pain you may want to pour cold water when you pee , take advil and suck on ice instead of drinking water , take a cool bath and put some neosporin or bactiraban on it .

Q: I was wondering if you call someone on the phone it rings once and you hang up with no one picking up will you get charged? Your answer will help me soo much :)

Q: ok this is a disgusting question, i know! but lately... i have been having issues w/ farting. I fart all the time, and I try not to, its gross and awkward! It even happens to me at school! It's so annoying! Is this normal, or what is wrong w/ me? is there something i can do? This is disgusting! Please help me!
i'm 13/f by the way

if you have been eating something out of the ordinary or if your on a diet it may be causing it . if there is no change in your eating habits then i suggest you talk with your doctor even though its embarrasing . there could be a problem you have to adress .

Q: In elementary school I was a straight-A student. Suddenly in the 7th grade, everything's different. I am soooooooo disorganized! I always get the format for the HW wrong or don't understand the assignment.

I just got a progress report:

English A-
Science B
Math F
History N/A
Spanish C

This is sooooo embarassing! An F! Isn't it awful? I failed a quiz, got a B+ on my exam, and failed all of my homework, usually because it isn't in the correct format (the progress report came out before I got my exam back). I feel so terrible---I go to a private school and everyone gets A's! Am I stupid or something because I'm so disorganized? How can I be more organized? About how much more of the 1st quarter do 7th graders have? 7th graders, could you give me an idea of when it ends???

thx

*Luna*
well it depends on where you live and what county . if the quarter is up for you you need to tell your parents ! get a tudor or ask your teachers if you can come in 20 minutes early and have them explain anything you didn't get , they usually don't mind . if the quarter isn't up then ask for extra credit, do wellon any final exams and go in early , it will show them your making an efort and they may ease up on you a bit . your grades aren't terrible except for the math . if your in advanced classes you may want a schedule change .

Q: How far can you drive a car after the empty light comes on? I have a rental car that I am not suppose to refule. I have 1/8 of a tank and have 40+ miles to go today.
your better off refuling it , your supposed to return it with the same amount of gas that they gave it to you which is usually 3/4 a tank . if theres extra they refund you .
