I've heard that term a lot and I've never known what it meant. Will someone tell me what it means?
thanks =]

The term 'friends with benefits' usually refers to two friends who often hook up for make out sessions and/or sex etc with no strings attatched.

well on wendesday school starts and i got my period yesterday and most of the time i have it for 5 days. so i really dont want to have my period on the first day of school. so does anyone have any ideas ..how can i stop my period one day earlier?? please help

There is no way you can stop your period a day earlier. However you can change your sanitary protection to make sure you feel fresh and secure all day long. If you use sanitary towels then try switching to Always Ultra with Freshelle. Each towel comes with a mini cleansing wipe that will leave you feeling fresh and clean. If you prefer tampons, then try Tampax Compak Fresh. They are slightly scented which helps you to feel fresh - and as they are Compak you can easily hide them in your bag.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep a relationship fresh? Like what activities could be done(expensive and inesxpensive)? I need help because I don't want my realationship to fall apart.

Try to see each other about two or three times a week, don't hang out every single day because you're more likely to get bored of each other and run out of things to do. Plus, seeing each other less means that the time you do spend together will mean more.

Try to go out as a couple every couple of weeks and try activties such as picnics, walks, swimming, bowling, movies, restaurants, go the beach, festivals, concerts, paintballing, canoeing, the zoo etc. Have a look in local papers and on websites for things to do in your area. If you can afford it or for special occasions like birthdays, try more adventurous activties like snorkelling or sky diving.

Little presents every now and again are nice too. Try surprising them with a book or video game they wanted.

But don't feel that you have to fill your relationship with fun things all the time. Remember to talk to each other on a regular basis so that you know what the other is feeling and what's going on in their lives.

well they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. its always hard to make up my mind on what to eat before school.

and i'm asking if anyone knowns some quick healthy breakfasts that i could at least eat every other day. or what foods i could alternate with. thanx for the advice.

Try smoothies. They're full of fruit, so they're good for you, and they keep you going. However, make sure you get a brand that uses all natural ingredients and not lots of sugar and sweeteners.

I know this is a weird combination, but my room is basically dedicated to those two people. My walls alternate posters, first Marilyn then Ashley..etc etc. I really don't have anything but pictures/posters of them on my wall, and it's not like magazine cutouts or anything..all my pictures are framed, poster sized, and most black and white. Does this give a trashy feel to my room? I know you can't see it, but just how I described it. I mean, I have an absolute Hollywood Legend on my wall with someone who's barely had a career. But I love them bothhh.

It's your room, and what you put on the walls makes it personal to you. As long as you like it then it shouldn't matter whether or not it's a weird combination. I don't think it sounds trashy whatsoever.

what are love handles?

Love handles are the rolls of fat around your hips. They are called 'love handles' because they can be held onto during sex.

I'm fat/not pretty. Yesterday two of my 'friends' IMed me saying 'Hey Sexy'. I know they were joking around, but for some reason it just really got to me, and I felt like I was a joke to them. (they're both guys) Now I'm very mad at the two of them, and I know they both feel bad, they've sent me messages, called me, etc, but I just don't respond. My question is, am I overreacting? What should I do?

First of all, don't you ever put yourself down like that. Whether or not you are unattractive is a matter of opinion, you're probably a lot prettier than you think.

Your friends may not have meant to hurt you, but they did and that gives you the right to be upset. However, they do feel bad and have tried to apologise. I think you should forgive them but let them know that you were really hurt by what they said and ask them not to do it again.

i have been hanging out with a new group of friends one of my friends said me and this guy would be a cute couple, im 14 and hes 16, one of my other friends said that i was too young for him but another one of his friends asked him and he said i thought i was pretty and he would think about it, and didnt even say anything about the age, so know i no i have a chance hes really cool but shy and i hardly no him, how can i get him to talk to me and get to know each other and to like me when i hang out with my group of friends again

I'm 14 and I've been out with a 16 year old before, I don't think that it's a big age gap, although any older than that might cause problems.

Next time you hang out with him, just act friendly and chatty like you would with your other friends. Try to put the fact that you like him to the back of your mind as you get to know him because it will make it easier to chat. Once you feel more comfortable with him start to be more flirtacious and see what happens.

I really want to get my cartiledge peirced. I've asked my mom about it and she said I could get it done, but it hurts like a mother for a long time. (Then again she did it herself when she was 17.) Which one do you think is better to use a shot gun (you can just get done with it), or a needle (this way you won't have all the pain at once, but it will take longer)? I know either way it will hurt but how much? My mom also told me a piece of your cartiledge comes out, is that true? If I do do it then I will go to a real place, not somewhere like Claire's.
Any help is appreciated!

DO NOT GET IT DONE WITH A GUN!
The only piercing that is okay to be done with a gun is your ear lobes. You should always get any other piercings done with a needle. I cannot stress this enough. Getting other piercings done with a gun, ESPECIALLY your cartiledge can result in serious infections.

The amount of pain you will feel depends on your personal pain threshold. I have had my nose pierced (with a needle) and found it didn't hurt any more than my lobes, but it could be completely different for you and your cartiledge.

At the end of the day, all piercings involve some amount of pain but it doesn't last forever and as long as you take care of your new piercing then it will heal quickly and infection free.

A tiny piece will come out, but only where the hole is made. A piece has to come out otherwise there will be no hole.

Definitely make sure that you go to a professional and reputable piercing studio and if you feel uncomfortable or don't think it is clean enough then do not hesitate to leave and go elsewhere.

i always seem to get the wrong shade of foundation for my face. The products I buy are always either too light or too dark. Can someone please tell me what shade to buy and can anyone recommend a good foundation for me? Heres what I look like: http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc01340oz7.jpg

If you always find foundation shades too light or too dark, then a good idea is to buy both shades then mix them together. It can work out a little expensive because obviously you have to buy both, but it will also last twice as long as one foundation and you will find the perfect shade for your skin.

Is lipgloss, lipliner, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, foundation, and concealer too much for a 10th grader?

I haven't seen other girls wear this much makeup.

Is this too much makeup for my age? [15]

It's not caked on or anything... I'm just wanting your opinion.

No, I don't think it is. I'm nearly 15 and I wear concealer, foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, liquid liner, mascara and lipgloss. As long as it doesn't LOOK like you are wearing too much, then it's fine. Also remember to ensure that you remove your make up fully before bed and that you use a good moisturiser daily to keep your skin in good condition.

even if i brush my teeth and tongue and floss i still wake up feeling like my breath probably smells bad.. help?

This is completely normal and I can guarantee that EVERYBODY wakes up with bad breath. Unless you use mouthwash at 20 minute intervals throughout the night, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. It's just something to do with the bacteria in your mouth, it's not a problem that can be solved.

hey
i was looking at your colum, and it said `favourtise` instead of `make favorite columnist`. how did you do that?

If you have a paid account then you have the option to edit your column styles.

I'm not a paid member but you used to be able to anyway, I created my own style when the option was still available.

How do I make a Diet coke and Mentos ROCKET?

I found this online:
{This activity is probably best done outside in the middle of an abandoned field, or better yet, on a huge lawn.}

1. Carefully open the bottle of soda. Position the bottle on the ground so that it will not tip over.

2. Unwrap the whole roll of Mentos. The goal is to drop all of the Mentos into the bottle of soda at the same time (which is trickier than it looks). One method for doing this is to roll a piece of paper into a tube just big enough to hold the loose Mentos. You'll want to be able to position the tube directly over the mouth of the bottle so that all of the candies drop into the bottle at the same time.

3. Don't drop them into the bottle just yet! Warn the spectators to stand back. Okay, you're going to drop all of the Mentos into the bottle at the same time and then move out of the way quickly.

ok where is your clit because i always get horney
when i read about sex so where is it?

You will find a diagram showing where the clitoris is here: http://www.infosex.com/pics/clit.jpg

ok well when you have sex how long should it be like and hour or more? or less because i dont no thanks ;]

It depends 100% on the people and their preferences. Sometimes people will want to have sex including foreplay and possibly more than once, and that can take a few hours. However some people may prefer to get it over with quickly, which can last as little as 15 minutes. There is no 'should' and 'shouldn't'. Sex should always be about what you and your partner{s} want.

i have a crush on my friends older brother.
should i tell her the truth? i mean she already gets mad when i talk to him and get a ride with him to somewhere. and i dont want to end our friendship over this.. but i want her to kno that its not fair and the way she is acting is really selfish.. what should i do?

The way she's behaving isn't at all selfish, it's perfectly understandable. I know I'd be pretty annoyed if one of my friends told me that they liked my younger sister.

I suggest you tell your friend that you like her brother but that you care more about her feelings than your relationship with him. Let her know that if it's not okay with her then you won't take your crush on her brother any further. Tell her that if she gives you her blessing then you will make sure that any relationship you have with him won't affect your friendship.

Hopefully your friend will be able to see that you can have a relationship with her brother without changing anything between you and her. However if she doesn't, then accept it and move on. Don't fall out over some boy.

okay so im a girl and people say that you should clean your "down there" but i dont have a douche is it safe to use like regular soap? or something like that??

You can use regular soap, just make sure that you rinse it off properly or it will lead to problems.

is sex the only thing guys want with a girl? if yes then why and if no why not?

It really does depend on the guy. Teenage boys are often more likely to care more about the physical side of a relationship simply due to hormones. However maturer/older guys are more likely to care about other things in a relationship, not just sex.

i really need help, the other day i was really drunk and kissed another guy, and i have a bf..its completley killing me and i feel horrible..should i tell my bf, what should i do? has anyone been in this position before..thanks.

I've never been in this position before but my friend has. He has a girlfriend who he adores but one night he got drunk at a party and ended up making out with some girl. He woke up the next day overcome with guilt and feeling terrible. He made the decision to tell his girlfriend and they didn't see each other for a week, then his girlfriend decided to forgive him and all was well.

At the end of the day, as long as no one else was there and you haven't told a soul, your boyfriend will find out some way or another. That is why you should be the one to tell him. If he finds out from someone else then he will not only be upset that you cheated, but he will also be angry because you lied to him. It's vital that you tell him what happened as soon as possible. Keeping what happened to yourself will not only make the betrayal worse, it could also eventually destroy your relationship because of your guilt.

If you don't feel that you can tell him face to face then write him a letter or an email, that way you can ensure that he listens to everything you have to say. Make sure that you let him know that you deeply regret it and that you don't want to break up with him.

After that you will just have to wait and see what happens. The decision is in your boyfriend's hands and he could choose to break up with you, if he does he has every right to. Ultimately, drunk or not, you betrayed him and he may not be able to trust you again. Whatever he decides, learn from it and try and make sure that you don't make the same mistake again.

Good luck.
