Ok so I'm 16/f, and I feel really weird because most of my friends have done something, and I've barely even kissed.
Everyone I meet is always like 'how can you still be a virgin?' and it feels a bit uncomfortable.
The things is that I always hear older people say to keep it, that they regret doing it in the first place, but why? My friends dont seem to regret it. And almost no guy would go out with someone who's not sexually active. At least no guy I've come across thinks differently.
What should I do? (link)
well i'm 15 and i lost it when i was 12 through pressure and i am not saying you will loose it through pressure but part of why i lost it is cause i wanted to when i was 12 i had the mind and body of a 15 year old it scary to feel all those feeling so young. but what am saying is that i wish i waited longer like when it was romantic or something all i can say is if you want to loose find a guy that wants to help you loose it i mean a boyfriend or a close someone you know and trust well GOODLUCK !!!


i hope this helps

You are prob. expecting this but just to be safe go to the docters just incase it could be something serious or not but just in case well GOODLUCK!!!


i hope this helps


what do you think should be around the right weight for me? im 13/f about 5'2 or 3 idk, around 100 lbs going up or down(it depends on the day). i'm pretty thin i guess, but i dont like my thighs or lower stomach. (link)
Dear Friend,

Your Body Mass Index [used to calculate a healthy weight] is spot on - though you weren't too specific, so you might even be a little underweight.

Thighs are generally inherited, and aside from commiting yourself to a serious work-out routine, there isn't much to do but love your body. I guarentee that whether it be a mother or lover, someone out there does.

For tightening up the lower stomach, do a few crunches [not quite sit-ups] per day. Keep your breathing steady, go at your own pace. You can do them in front of the television; they're not too strenuous.

Love,

Ainsley.


Does anyone know how to get rid of highlights? Mine have kind of faded but I want them to be gone quicker. Any suggestions besides going to the hair dresser? (link)
Brunette: Rinse hair with a strong black tea, or black coffee.

Blonde: Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice in 1 gallon warm water.

Red: Make a strong tea of rosehips or cloves, or use strong black coffee.


I'm really pale. I mean, my body refuses to tan easily. I mean, I've layed out in the sun for about an hour and I have some tan lines but not really noticable. How can I tan better? I don't want to be the pale girl anymore! Oh and whenever I'm outside, I seem to get a lot of freckles...how can I stop that? Thanks~ (link)
Dear Friend,

UV Radiation from tanning can lead to all three varieties of skin cancer. As well as having a damaging effect on the immune system, tanning can cause premature ageing, giving your skin a wrinkled, leathery appearance.

Fake tan would be the best way for you to achieve that healthy glow. Neutrogena offers an affordable line of self-tanners that blend well and last for days. Try a bronzer on your face to match the depth of colour you choose. To avoid freckles, stay out of the sun or pile on 30+ or higher sunblock.

Love,

Ainsley.


Is there any way i can make my hair lighter without highlighting or coloring? (link)

It's awesome.


14/f i play music (sing & play guitar/piano) and lots of it i would call country music. most kids hate country music, i know! but i love it. i really want to have a carreer in music but i don't want all my friends and people i know to be hating the type of music i play. should i just go for it or should i change my style a little, more pop or rock or something? please tell me your thoughts on any of this. thank you! i rate (link)
I've got a lot of different points of views thingys heh. 1) Do what YOU want..but then again..if no one likes it, eh.. 2) there are TONS of people that LOVE country music (me for one!) why do you think they have a GAC channel and suff, they dont have a "pop" or "rock" channel..yeah? 3) dont change you style! its like rapper changing to a old classic blues singer..NO WAY! lol. basically. dont change. countrys great. friends are great. if they dont like country, find a friend that does. hope i helped.

Bleh. Okay. So I sweat. And I know that everyone sweats but like, it's disgusting and it looks like someone poured water on my shirt. Every deodorant with antipersperant that I've tried does nothing. It's really embarassing and now that it's summer it's really hott so it's even worse. It makes me really self concious and I'm scared to wear bright colored shirts because it'll show up even more. But when I wear all black so it won't show up I get called gothic or emo! =[

help!
(link)
Eh, my friend had that and last I heard she said she was getting some kind of surgery. Alot of times people will keep their arms close to there body, you know to like not show your armpits.. but it seems like that would make you sweat more. Let your arms breath & stuff.. I don't know. Hope I helped. Emo= cool. Gothic= not cool. Also, you could wear black shirts with neon stuff on it or bright pants or those big necklaces, something to get the attention away from the black.


Is it possible to have a STD if your a virgin? (link)
i heard that you can get stds from making out but if your "makeout partner" is a virgin then no l o l but you could be born with it if your parents had one but its not very common.

hope i helped


Ok so here's how it works, I babysit 3 kids, one is 11 year old girl, a 8 year old boy and another 5 year old girl. I constantly have my hands full. I watch my employers kids, I clean her hous, I do her dishes, and stay there all night, most of the time, she usually stays out and comes home the next day. How much should I charge her? Thanx for the advice in advance.. (link)
OH DEFINITELY 10 DOLLARS AN HOUR! You are doing a LOT of stuff for her and you are staying over night, so no less than 10 dollars an hour.
Good Luck :]


I am a pepper fiend. I put pepper on practically everything but sweets. My question is, could that be misconstrued as an insult?

My brother's girlfriend kindly made dinner for our family for the first time, a few weeks back. Chicken. Of course, I went nuts with the pepper shaker. The way she looked at me really hurt my feelings. I don't think she purposely shot me down. I think she was just more in shock that I had the nerve to do that. She eats dinner with us everynight, though. She knows my routine. It's nothing new. I still felt like a jerk. I didn't say anything then, but I probably should have. Now it's too late, and I would just like to gather multiple opinions for future reference. I'd hate to unintentionally put somebody (who so generously devoted their time and effort to please me) down.

So if you worked all day to prepare a meal for your guests (even family) and someone were to pepper the hell out of it, would you take offense? (link)
Dear Friend,

I wouldn't worry about it. This sounds like one of those things you've built up in your mind to be a bigger deal than it really is - if a little while has passed, chances are your brother's girlfriend has already forgotten.

If you really need to rest your conscience at ease, casually bring up a discussion about your love of pepper. Gauge her reaction, and decide whether to proceed with an apology or drop it.

Love,

Ainsley.


Random: I heard this ad on the radio that I thought was really funny and I want to know the rest...it was about bad poetry and joining the military...part of it was:

Love.
Love not.
Love Gone.
I watch a clown sadly sing.
Jenny gets a haircut.
Splat. Falling.
Seagulls sing me a lullaby.
Caw-caw!
Box of cereal promises a suprise.
Caw-caw!
No toy inside. I weep. I weep.

If you haven't heard this you'd think I was crazy but I swear...I'm not. Please, does anyone know the full version? (link)
Dear Friend,

I can't say I've heard the ad. Sounds pretty bizarre - why would they associate bad poetry with joining the military?

Anyway, I tried Googling the words, but no results turned up. You could always try contacting the radio station directly. Call in an off-peak time [somewhere between noon and evening] and you'll find that most of the phone monkeys will be up for a chat.

Happy hunting.

Love,

Ainsley.


alright this is a simple question. i want to know how i can improve ym hand writing and write in different styles by hand. how can i do that? thanks. (link)
Dear Friend,

You might've picked a simple question, but it's a hard one to answer!

I checked out a few websites for you - this one is probably the most relevant:

http://paperpenalia.com/handwriting.html

It'll teach you writing excercises and offer better tips than I can give.

Practice makes perfect.

Love,

Ainsley.


eh wat do guys think are attractive? not just how they look, but what about how they act? please help. i really want some guys to like me!! my friends r gettin all the guys!! its hard to explain but just pls help me. (link)
Well, I'm not a guy, but I'm curious and ask guys what they like about me. The most common ones were being smart and knowing what I want. They also like that I'm (a little, not completely) conservative. You don't want a guy to have to worry about who you're with because of the way you act/dress. The big one is being yourself. They like a girl that can keep it real.


ok i just got a digital camera and i uploaded some pictures to my computer. I am trying to put some of them on my myspace, but the file size is too big. They say to download a program called "irfanview" to resize the pictures. Im a little doubtful about downloading it because i dont know if it will work and if it will hurt my computer. so my question is, does irfanview work, is it safe, and if not is there another program [BESIDES PAINT] that i can use to resize my images so they will fit on myspace.
[&hearts] (link)
irfanview works great for me. i love it.

hope i helped


i like this kid, but then again i like his bestfriend . . i been switchen on and off with them and i dont know which one to like . what would you do in a situation like this ? please help (link)
take a piece of paper and a pen.

Divide the paper using a ruler right down the middle.

Write one of their names on one side.
and one of their names on the other.

Write the good points in one color and the bad points in another color. as in good=green bad=black.

You with me so far?

Count the good points for each person.
go with the guy who has the highest points. if you feel in your heart right away this is the wrong guy then pick the other one.

I did this. it works. my relationship is about to start too ;-)


I have really bad cramps right now. Is there anything I can eat or drink to help them not be so bad? I don't want to take medicine though. (link)
When I have really bad Cramps I know I eat chocolate and drink water. any other drinks would bloat you and hurt. maybe a warm glass of milk. you could also use honey and milk I find this quite relaxing. When I do have cramps I tend to take long baths with scented candles and inscence to help me relax. I then pick my favorite music and lie down and read.

Hope this helps?

Kris.
