I know that guys prefer girls to shave it all off most of the time. But girls,what do you think? Should your man go bald,trim,or natural?

Go bald or trim. It sucks to go down on a guy and come up with hair in your mouth.

i know this isn't really important, but im doing a poll for summer school.. im not in summer skool, but were supposed to be doing this to get ready for our upcoming high skool year, and well here's my poll...

Bush?
or
Kerry?

moderators, plz don't rate this low, it's for skool, also please don't delete this Q!!!!

Kerry. Simply because I hate Bush. I think he's an idiot who doesn't care about the American people, only his own gains.

Am i considered fat if i am 5 foot 4 and i weigh 195 lbs? i know i dont look it and i do have a lot of muscle in ym arms and legs from playing sports. Am i considered over wieght or not?

Muscle weighs more than fat, so I would say your not fat. If you don't look like it then why are you worried about it anyway? You seem to be comfortable with yourself. So why even ask the question? Especially on a site where you have five foot 90 pound girls telling you that you should just eat less junk food and work out. If your muscular and play sports and eat healthy, and don't think you look fat, then your perfectly fine.

Okay I don't really know what it is...but I have a discharge in my vagina sometimes...is that what it is? and if so is it bad? and how do I get it to go away?

Go see a doctor. No one on this site can tell you exactly what it will be. It could be a yeast infection, it could be normal, it could be something else. Just go see your doctor. Even if it is just a yeast infection, you should go see your doctor before you take any kind of medication. You can never know if it might not be safe for you to take. so, as I've already said twice, just go see a doctor.

Ok well ive already asked this but everyone is telling me the same thing.

well i went away for the summer. when i got back my mom hade this really bad attitude to me. in the beginning the attitude was comeing from my dad. i really didnt care because i dont live with my dad n e ways my mom was being all harsh on me for all the little things. i told my friend all the things i was thinking and my mom found out. she will not talk to me.ive already told her i was sorry.and did a lot to make her forgive me, but nothing worked. Should i keep doing what im doing or what. dont tell me to talk to her cause everytime i try she walks away and i dont want to play games.

This question seems to need more explaining. I want to say that maybe your mom needs some counceling, or some kind of family counceling for the two of you. But I don't know if thats the case. Does your mom get depressed? Is your mom upset that you went to visit your father (I'm guessing thats where you were for the summer) Is she depressed about that. Either way you need to find some way to get her to talk to you and tell you what is wrong. Maybe you could try talking to someone else. Perhaps an older family member, like an aunt, uncle, grandparent. Or maybe theres some really close friends of your mothers that could help you. But make sure you dont' talk to just anyone. You dont' want her to get even more mad at you for talking to other people. But it does sound like you need some help with this one. I don't really understand what it is that you did wrong, unless there's something that your not quite explaining, it seems like it's her that needs to apoligize, not you.

But I've been depressed, and I've had to deal with my mother when she was depressed, so I can kind of understand why she can act like that... If that is the case of course.

well my dad and me where never close and when my parents spilt up i went with my mom i want to see my dad agian but i dont know how to act around him should i hate him or should i be nice? He told me he never loved me and i dont understand how you cant love your child..

No. I don't think you should hate him. He doesn't even seem to be worth your hatred. But I do understand why you still want to see him even though he told you that. I met my father when I was 16, and I was really excited, despite the fact that he showed no interest in seeing me for the first 16 years of my life. I still had these dreams of having a happy mother and father... like a normal family I guess. But it didn't happen. I went to see my father and saw how much of a jerk he was and how I didn't want to know him. But I wasn't mean to him or rude to him. I didn't want him to have the pleasure of getting any kind of emotion out of me. Even if it was hate.

Go see your father if you want to. Be nice to him, don't let anything get to you. If he turns out to be as much of an ass as my father was, then it's only his loss to lose a great daughter. You still have your mother don't you?

My dog has the measles! What should I do!!!!!!! Please don't say take her to the vet, I'm broke.

Call a vet. It doesn't cost anything and they can tell you more about what you could do to make your dog comfortable and help him/her get better.

I have a yeast infection and I'm okay with it because I've had one before. The only thing that worries me is that I had sex for the very first time last weekend and I'm scared that it happened from that. I'm very sensitive "down there" and if every time I have sex, its gunna happen then thats not a good thing. Can you get a yeast infection from sex or an STD?!?!

It could be an STD that you have, I would go see your doctor. Your doctor can also tell you more about whether or not you'll be more likely to get a yeast infection every time that you have sex. I seriously doubt that it would happen every time, but since your very sensative down there, there might be some precautions that you can take to help this problem.

Also, legally your doctor can't tell your parents that you've had sex if your worried about that at all.

And definately use condoms if you have sex again. Even if it's just a yeast infection, it is possible for guys to get it from you.

Do you get tested for HIV/AIDs before sex or after sex? or both? plz help!

I really wish that people knew more about std's. hiv/aids is an STD... Sexually Transmitted Disease. or STI...Sexually Transmitted Infection. That means that it is TRANSMITTED through sexual contact. (transmitted means it is transfered from one person to another) So you need to get tested after you have sex with someone without using a condom. You can actually get it three months after the last time you had unprotected sex without it showing up on the test results.

This subject really upsets me because if anyone out there would do a tiny bit of research on stds then you would find out that there are SO many people out there who could have an std and not even know it. There are way too many people that have sex and only use a condom if they don't take birth control, these people could have a disease, and end up spreading it to more and more people.

This is the reason why there are so many std's. I'm not trying to attack you, I just wish people were more informed about std's.

ok...me and my friends have been doin pot since we were like 11 and now im 14 and i cant stop. i was sick for three months, then i went to rehad for 7months and it sucked. now its been about 5 months since i was in rehab and i think im addicted to it again. i dont wanna go back to rehab bcuz that place sucks. ive tried everything i can and i just cant stop. i know that this seems like a serious problem to be puttin on a random site but my girlfriend said that i gotta do sumthin. my names gordon and my s/n for aim is a2020zipdrive. so if u got ne suggestions, let em loose baby. thanx!!

Seriously, I have never heard of anyone being addicted to pot, or getting sick from it. This just dumbfounds me. I smoked pot for about a year or two, when I decided to quit, it was hard. But I started to realize that it was only hard because I wanted to hang out, and smoking with people seemed like a good excuse to just go hang out. After a while I also realized that I didn't need to smoke to hang out. If someone passed me a joint, I just discretely passed it to the next person. I don't know if this helps you because I have seriously never heard of anyone being addicted. If there's another drug that your doing along with marijuana, then I would understand that you actually have a problem, but I have never seen pot harm anyone in any way unless you count making someone lay around, watch tv, and eat chips all day...

Just tell them that your friend introduced you two. They don't have to know that you started talking to him online before you met him.

everytime I get a bf my friends think he's too ugly and that I need better, but it hurts him whenever i tell him what my friends think about him and makes me feel bad. I know how he feels because they dont know what hes like. I told them to stop but they keep at it. and my bf dosnt feel like doing any thing when im around bc of what my friends say. how do I get them to stop???? for me and him

For one thing, stop telling your boyfriend that your friends think he's ugly and isn't good enough for you. The only thing thats going to do is make him uncomfortable around you and your friends. If they don't say anything to him then just ignore them. If you like him then they are obviously wrong about him. I feel bad for the poor guy because his girlfriend keeps letting him know that her friends think he's ugly. Thats just mean.

My advice is, ignore them and stop telling him they think he's ugly.

After being on the computer for only a little while, every page instantly reads "Page cannot be displayed", everything is as though I was offline. I think someone sent me a virus, or something to that affect. It gets in the way of everything. I can't send people my bands songs, download much off the internet, and most importantly school work (In college, a lot of assignments are online). I can't even give or ask for advice, this is the second time I tried. My family isn't extremely poor, but we are in debt. We can't afford to buy another computer, this one is new anyway. I have downloaded ad-aware, but it can't seem to find the problem. I also downloaded something with the word "spy" in it, and that froze everything. I can't buy anything to help, my mother refuses to let my buy anything through the internet. It gets worse all the time, now it freezes every once in a while, preventing me from even getting online. I clean it often, and defrag it every onece in a while. Any solution to this problem would be much appreciated.

You shouldn't be downloading so many things. That thing that had spy in it was probably something really bad. My roommate is a computer expert, he gets payed about $100 an hour to fix peoples computers, and he has always told me, and my other roommate to never download things off the internet because he's the one we go to when something happens. If a pop up comes up and tells you to download something to help your computer, it's usually a lie. Go to settings, then, control panel, then add/remove programs. Then remove EVERYTHING that you don't absolutely need. If you dont' know what it is, then it's probably not needed.

major problem! my best friend(3 years) hates my boyfriend(2 years)it just happend she just started hating him...he thinks she has to much drama in her life..and she hates how he has an attitude...she gets mad that he doesnt let me go 2 partys with her..but i mean i dont blame him what should i do i can so tell shes really starting to hate him shes always talking about him to me like that makes me feel really bad

I think it's wrong that he doesn't let you go to parties with your friend. I think she has a very good reason to be upset. You shouldn't be putting him before her. You should definately not let him tell you to not hang out with her. They don't have to like each other, but they should both respect you and let you hang out with whoever you want to. If you want to hang out with her, then do it, if you want to hang out with him, then do it. And if you want to hang out with both of them then sometime they should suck it up and pretend to like each other so you can all hang out together.

ok , can you die from drinking soda a lot of times!!!??? omg im so scared . please help me!!

http://alienated.blog-city.com/read/463226.htm

Check out this website.

Also, I have heard that you can over dose by drinking a certain amount of cola in a certain amount of time, but, it would be so much soda in so little time that it's practically impossible. But, that does't mean it's not incredubly bad for you to drink a lot of soda.

ok theres this boy that REALLY likes me n i dont want 2 b harsh n tell him i dont like him n back off n i have already told him i have a boyfriend!!n he wont leave me alone!!in a nice way 2 tell him 2 back off n leave me alone!

ok. Some guys are pretty dense. If you just try to be nice and let him down easily, he might not get it. He might think that your only saying that you don't like him because you dont' want to hurt your boyfriend. He might not get the idea that you really, actually don't like him.

I would suggest just telling him that you have no attraction to him. Don't try to be nice because he should have backed off after you told him you had a boyfriend. If that didn't work then you have to tell him straight that you just don't like him and he's making you uncomfortable by still hitting on you.

ok u seem smart and cool...another thing i no he loves me but he thinsk im way 2 prude he said hes eventually ganna want stuff wat do u think?

I think you should keep going until things don't feel good between you two. If you think that you want to be with him forever, then just think about your relationship as being with him forever. But don't let him make you think that your a prude, and don't do anything that you don't feel comfortable with yet. Let him know that you love him and want to wait until your both completely sure that that's what you want to do.

I'm guessing your talking about sex, and believe me, if you don't wait until your completely ready then you will most likely regret it. Tell him that you don't want to regret anything and he shouldn't pressure you into anything. You both shouldn't be worrying about anything like that. And tell him that you'll eventually want to do stuff, but he has to wait until your ready.

Okay, I'm 14 and I have a boyfriend that I've only been with for like around a month. But when I'm around him I don't really feel comfortable with him anymore and a few days ago he tried to get me to smoke with him by saying if you loved me you would... and i was really mad cuz im not big on drugs. I don't really want to be with him anymore, But he likes me alot. If you were me what would u do?

yeah, I don't see how anyone can really like you a lot and care about you if they are saying that to you. He doesn't seem to care. I would never tell anyone to smoke because of that reason. I smoke, and know how terrible it is. Before I started I always asked my boyfriend to stop because I didn't want him to hurt. He never would have told me "if you love me you'll let me smoke, and you'll smoke with me" If he loved you then he wouldn't try to pressure you into doing things that you don't want to do. You deserve better than that. I would dump him.
