ok this shirt i bought off of ebay arrived a few days ago but likee .. its smaller than the description said. and im really tall so when i move my hands anywhere above my waist it comes up. and theres a strict dress code in my school.

is there any possible way on the face of this earth i can stretch it or make it longer?

No, not really.
But you could get a long tanktop and wear it under it, thats what we do at my school for dress code :)

okay my parents are so annoying they won't let me do anything i mean anything. I wanted to go to my friends track meet and they wouldn't let me they said i'm to young. THey need to realize i'm 15 it's time they start letting me do my own things my own way.

Thats very true!
Your 15! thats old enough to do a lot of things,
geez at 15 you can take drivesr training, next yera you'll be able to drive.
Tell yourparents that, tell them how you feel and remind them you arent their little baby anymore..

This might sound a lil weird.. but im 15 and i was wondering when is the best age to start having sex?

The best age to start having sex,
is when you know you can take care of a baby.

Because there is always that risk.

I would say leave him alone,
he has a girlfriend,
so take it as he only likes you as a friend now.
haha never mess with someone when they are in a relationship..

never ends well..

what is the best way to tell someone that you do not want to be thier girlfriend anymore, but that you still would like to communicate with them, remain friends, ect? it's just that our relationship has never really been more than "just friends," except that we've been calling ourselves a couple... as in he doesn't pay for me, touch me unless he has to, ect. And I would like to have to opportunity to see other people if it comes up. So my question is how do I go about telling him this without him being upset or thinking that just because I don't want to be his "girlfriend" that I never want to communicate with him again? 16/f, if it helps. :) fives for everyone :)

Aww hey!
Well theres no nice way to tell someone you want to break up with them, but in your case, if you guys dont even act like a couple, but call youreslf it, it shouldnt hurt him. Just explain to him what you said on here, and see what he says.
I mean he could be alright with it, and feel the same way, or he could be hurt, and not want to talk, its always a 50/50 chance that a guy wants to be friends after a break up.
But if he doesnt want to be friends at first, just give him some time and space, thats really what they need.

Hope things go well :)

So, I gave my boyfriend a handjob and after I did it he had to "adjust himself." He didn't cum, but I am worried about precum. He fingered me after that and ahh I am all paranoid that I could be pregnant. What are the chances that I am?
Thanks.

Sperm dies when it hits the air.
So I'm pretty sure you're fine.

has it ever happend to you that in four and a half years two of your exboyfriends are so shy and your current one is as well?? wel thats what is happening to me at the momment. look, my boyfriend is really cute and sproty and is the mosy populer boy in the class and he is sooooo shy. he hasnt even kissed me or atleast hold my hand. all he says to me is 'no you did that question wrong'or'im sorry'or'you s**ty head'. the only thing that melts me down is 'i miss you'or 'i love you'
i really dont want to dump him so what should i do

No I havent had that before.
But its not like its impossible, obviously! haha.
But aww deary! yeah dont you love it when guys tell you hey love you, or miss you!! I lvoe it, it makes me feel so.. ahaha loved!
But i suggest you dump him, the fact that he calls you a s**ty head, thats not nice either, you woudlnt call your gf that,, unless your joking, but anyways, you will find a boy thats not so shy!,

but he probably hasnt made any moves on you, because he doesnt know you that well yet.
The better you get to know your boyfriend,
the more comfortable he will be aroundyou :)

i'm 15. almost 16. my special someone is 17. almost 18. our birthday are in the next two months. where I live it's ilegal for a 18 yr. old to date anyone under the age of 16 and i'm not quite there yet. but we've agreed we're not going to let that stop us. my mom doesn't let me go out with him because last week she decided that he's a loser because he droped out of school. and she thinks he's too old for me. my someone and i have been together for 8 months and i would do anything for him and we have a undying love for each other. but it's getting so hard and now he's listening to peoples opinions and wants to break up with me because he doesn't want to try anymore. i know i could have tried more instead of trying to find someone else. but now i regreat it. i know that if i convence him that we can do this then we can make it.. i just have to get him to see that we're supposed to be together any suggestions?

feel free to ask me any questions about this

Well I'm sure you've probably heard this before, but your only 15.. and you have a long time in life to find another guy.
I know break ups hurt,
and you could get back with this guy, but if he's 18, and he dropped out of school, I understand why your mother wouldnt want him to see you anymore. Put yourself in your mother's shoes.
I may not sound very nice, but I'm answering this honestly.
Can you see yourself getting married to this guy, that you've dated for just 8 months? Your far too young, to be thinking that far ahead you know? And since he's 18, and hes not in school, and hes probably not going to college. But you will still be in school, he wont be, so he'll have time to get to know other people, maybe other girls.. I'm not syaing thats going to happen, but the facct that he wants to give up, its a clear sign that hes most likley not that intersted anymore in trying, and its going to be hard, but I would suggest moving on.
That is easier said than done, I know.

I cant give you any suggestions on how to get him to see that you guys are supposed to be together, because if you were, then you'd know the reasons, but if you really cant think of any, then there isnt any. And I also, from what you've said, I think that he;s loss interest, you know? but sweetheart,
I say everything in the nicest way, no intentions of hurting your feelings, I'm just being honest, and everything i'm saying is in your best interest...

i hope things go well,
and you follow your heart.

any other questions, send them to my inbox.

Okay, once I was looking at some questions, and I came across this girl who had this problem. Though after she was done explaining her problem she gave a list of ways that she would like the question to be answered. The most non secencial one was when she said, "For all you people who TlaK lyk DIs" Don't bother answering. That just pissed me off because if you REALLY need help, then you wouldn't care how people answered your question, as long as it gets answered in the first place. My question is: If people list ways to answer their question, then how are we suppose to answer it honestlly if we can't fully express our feelings due to their moranic limitations?

Thats a good question,
I just say what I feel is right,
and is in their best interest,
if they mark me low, its their fault,
because they are the ones who have to deal with the consquences.

Sorry this is long, but I'm in tears. I need to talk.

Today, I had to give a presentation on migrant farmers in California who were thrown off of their land because they couldn't pay the rent where they originally came from (the Middle Region of the US---Oklahoma, Kansas, etc) using a central primary document. I showed three 5-minute clips from "The Grapes of Wrath." I gave a 2-minute intro, showed the clips, and in between each clip, I talked about why the clip best represented the main points of my lecture.

I guess I was pretty boring. I'm very, very bad at giving lectures. I don't want any of the columnists to give me an answer detailing how to make lectures more interesting. I had my speech written out on an AlphaSmart and I read in a monotone, but that's just the way I talk. That's not an excuse for not paying attention.

I told my classmates to write down a question and I'd answer it at the end of the clip. For each clip, the same 4 people out of an audience of 11 asked questions, and they were mostly practical questions that didn't have to do with the Depression, like "Where did the Joads get gasoline?" Throughout the whole lecture, only one person asked a relevant question. Everyone else was bored out of their skulls. People yawned and gazed out the window. One girl was even reading behind her backpack.

And then came the discussion at the end. I had 3 discussion questions:

1. Do you think the migrant workers lived the promised California Dream? Why or why not?

2. In what ways were the migrant workers exploited by land owners?

3. Do you think that the workers were better off in California or their homeland?


We were supposed to have more, but my teacher said that if they are questions that can generate rich discussions, it would be fine. But there was no discussion. My classmates had been so bored out of their skulls that they hadn't payed attention the whole time. The same two people had anything to say.

The presentation was a disaster. And I'm going to be graded down because there was no discussion. I was supposed to have a lot of questions, but if I only had a few questions that were open-ended and debatable, then it would be acceptable. My questions were open-ended and debatable, but since there was no discussion, it doesn't count. I feel awful. I had hoped to get an A in History, and I had a B+ coming. This is a huge assignment. I'm going to get a B or B-, and I won't achieve my quarter goal. I wanted to get 2 A's on my report card for the first time, but now my chances are gone.

Anyone who at least tries to make me feel better gets a 5



Well getting a B or B- isnt that bad first of all. I know its disapointing to not reach a goal, but you always have the next year, to try and reach it, and you'll have even more motivation.

Its not your fault your classmates didnt pay attention, or discuss things..
Maybe you should talk to your teacher about rasing your grade, tell her that the students didnt even pay attention, and explain how this whole situation made you feel,
teachers like it when you are humble and honest with them, and sharing your feelings.

But dont fret, summer is coming soon,
and I'm sure your presentation was great.

ny friend is a little weird
she is kinda braggy about everything
like at school...she'll have a book and be like "oh your so jealous of my book" and shes kidding around but its still really annoying cuz she does it all the time
also she kinda gossips about my other friends and i tell her that i dont like talking about my friends, and she still tries to gossip about them
what should i do? i dont want to be mean

Well, you just need to be straight up with her.
Tell her how it makes you feel when she brags about stuff, and how you really dont like that she talks about your friends.

Tell her she really needs to respect you as a friend, and try to not gossip around you.

I didn't know which catagory to put this in so I just placed it here...I'm 14/f and i feel everyday like i'm making everyone's life miserable. Everyone says I'm a crybaby and too dramatic and that no one wants to hang around with someone like me. I feel useless and I'm wondering if I should just quit...leave...whatever way you wanna put it. I just dont want to bug anyone anymore...that's my question. Should I quit?...plz and thnx

No! Never give up! People are just taking you forgranted, which is a horrible feeling.
Sweetheart, dont end your life, run away, or anything, tell them how you feel.
If they dont listen, keep telling them,
go talk to a counsular, at your school. I promise that will help. I promise.
Your not bugging people either, most likely they are just busy, but dont ever give up.

you matter.

i hope things get better.
ill pray for you.

I've made the biggest mistake of my life letting him go. Now he is with another girl, and it is too late. No matter how much I convince myself that I dont care for him anymore, everything always comes back to him. We actually had something together, and I pushed him away, just like that. I was afraid, I didnt want to get hurt. But I pushed him towards another girl, and I hate what I've done. He was my secure foundation, and now he doesnt even want me in his life. I cant stand knowing that its so easy for him to just erase me from his life, while its the most difficult thing I have ever been put through. We both liked eachother from the beginning, and I was too afraid to admit it, he was just too shy. But now that I've admitted it to him, he and his friends all make a joke about it. he comes around every single day with his new girlfriend and I cant even look up because I dont want to give him the satisfaction of my jealousy. and it doesnt help that his group of friends tell him and his new girl to walk by me a million times just to see my reaction. It hurts like nothing that Ill ever be able to explain

Hun, first of all, the fact that you said "he was your secure foundation" thats not a good sign, your insecure and unstable, especially if you pushed him to another girl.

I know you cant erase him or forget him, because things like that take a lot of time.
Dont sit home and sulk though, I know it hurts,
and it hurts really deep inside you, like your heart, its so hard to explain, but its pain, because of him.

But hang out with friends, get support from them, be busy, go out with friends, you shouldnt be wasting time on this guy anymore, because obviously the way he is treating you right now, thats horrible, and you dont deserve it.


hopei helped.

A few days ago, I invented a fake person online who has been talking to this guy I like. this guy and i have been friends for 3 years and have recently admitted we like each other, but he's usually not very vocal about his feelings and i thought i could get things out of him with this girl. "the girl" tells him things about "her guy" and they give each other advice. anyway, he just told "this girl" that he is no longer interested in me, he doesn't feel attracted to me anymore and doesn't see me as anymore than a good friend. He said I wasn't "too bad looking" but not his type of person.
Well the thing is, I told him a few weeks ago I wanted to wait till school was over ( a few months) till we went out, because i'm in year 12 and this year is very important. he was cool with waiting. But last week we made out for like 3 hours and my feelings for him grew more intense and a few days ago i told him i'd go out with him which he was really happy about. He was planning to ask me out in person. I haven't seen him at school since then (He's had exams) but now I found this out. I'm in tears because I thought he really liked me and we'd get together. Then this happens.

i know it was wrong to create this girl to get things out of him, especially because I don't like what I found out. I just don't know what to do now. I don't know whether I should admit to inventing the girl online, so I can ask him about what he told "her" There's a chance he might not have meant it.. but I don't know. I don't know what's happened in the last few days thats changed his feelings.
what should I do? Sorry this is so long. Thanks for your time.

Well, your right, it was wrong to create a fake girl, but! you wouldnt have known any of this without doing so. I'm not saying it was right, but if thats how he really feels about you then atlesat you know.
I wouldnt suggest telling him, because i think that would oonly make him really really angry.

But if you feel its the right thing to do,
then tell him and see if you can talk things out.


boys are boys, they change like the wind. So he probably just changed his mind for no reason, and I woudlnt worry about just him.
Especially if all you did was make out that oen time.. you know?

hope thingsare getting better.

13/f
I have a really big and annoying problem: I pretty much like every guy I come across. It's really annoying... all I do is stare at them. And it's not just guys from school! It's celebrities too. I'm so tired of it; I feel like I can't concentrate. I've had a boyfriend before, but I dumped him because he wasn't a good boyfriend. Does this have anything to do with it? What should I do?

*edit*
I never said you HAD it.
Chill out. Dont ask for advice if you intend on critizising people who are trying to help you.

is www.warez.com illegal?

I'm not sure, if it is illgal, then the site itself probably would be taken down.
But some of the stuff you get from it could possibly be illegal.

Sorry i'm not that much of a help for this, becuase I'm honestly not that sure =/

Hi, I am recently 15 years old and have been suddenly feeling selfconcious about my body. I am about 5'6'' 5'7'' ish and i weigh 130 pounds or so. Is this considered over weight? I exercise constantly (cheer practice, running, abs, etc) but im still terrified to get cellulite ( back of my thigh area) Is there any way to prevent cellulite? and is it true once you have it you cant get rid of it? also what are some exercises that slim up you abs(under belly button) and the back off your thighs. (right under your butt) any answers are appreciated =)

p.s. i am in no way anorexic/belimic just for the record.

Well theres no "normal" or "average" weight because everyone is different, you just need to be healthy, and if you are healthy and athletic, you should be fine :)

Ab exercises, crunches, situps, leg lifts, squats, .. yeah :)
go to your school gym or something, work out there :)
