So I've been friends with my guy friend for about more than a year now..and he's really awesome we have a lot in common. But ever since last year...i kinda have started having a crush on him...and i wanted to tell him so badly how i felt..but i never had the guts to. And we stopped talking in March and didnt' start talking until August again...and during that time..i thought i was going to get over him...but instead..i started liking him more...so im very confused now...and should i tell him?? or no?

Does he show any interest in you?

It's more of a risk taker.
If you think you have a chance to be with him or something, go ahead.

But be aware that he may not have the same feelings for you. He might feel awkward around you after that and you might drift away as friends.

So you should try flirting with him or making plans with him. It's more of your choice though.

You just have to be prepared for the bad part.

Hey. I'm a very sporty girl. I play soccer, basketball, and a little hockey. 70% of the time you'll find me out on the field messing around with my buds. But, since I'm so active I wear sports bras all the time. In fact, I only have sports bras. Lately my erm... boobs look odd in sports bras, It looks like I have one big one a "uniboob". I really want a real bra, a cupped one. But I'm soooo shy I can never ask my mom to take me to get one. Tips would be lovely yo help this conversation to go smoother. Thanks! 13/F

You can ask your mom to take you shopping.
You can always say you don't have any real bras
and she would probably get the idea that you want them.

She probably hasn't taken you to the store to buy you some because maybe she's waiting for you to tell her.

You can always go into Victoria's Secret and have someone help you. They would probably measure you and show you where to look for your size.

I need help telling my mom that sometimes i am abused by my father for the stupidest reasons when she is at work. I feel very shy to tell her and i dont know if i tell her that the effect of me telling her will hurt my families future. i am the 2nd oldest of 4 kids and i am the one that gets hit by my dad the most. the other sumblings rarely are touched. my dad has very vast mood swings and once he ill be very nive nad a few minutes later he is going crazy.
i dont know what to tell my mom about this.
please help me.

He shouldn't be hurting you.

You should tell her about it.

Or just randomly ask, "Mom, why does Dad hit me?"

She needs to talk to him and yeah, he might go to some group with anger problems. He shouldn't be taking it out on you.

Don't worry about the family's future.

About a month ago I got out of a five month relationship and it didnt end on very good terms. I seem to keep falling for guys that will wreck my heart. my question is where are places I can take a fiew of my girl friends to hang out where I can meet a bunch of new guys. And how do i aproach them without seeming odd.

You can always go to a park, some guys play football there.

You can always go to the mall or the movies.

You can tell a guy that you like his hair or something like that, to see if the conversation will go anywhere.

You can always ask them if they have seen your "bracelet" somewhere and that you'll like to find it.. Maybe they will help look for it even though you, you didn't lose anything.

I'm not really sure about approaching though. Maybe if you get some of your guy friends to bring some of their friends along.. somewhere to hang out.. Maybe something could happen.

well i am in luv with my bestfriend but i dont know how to tell him cos i dont know how he feels about me

You need to find out how he feels about you first.
Try flirting with him or something, see if he flirts back.
Ask him if he likes someone.
You can ask him to go to the movies with you.

But it's best not to tell him yet because what if he doesn't feel the same?

He's your bestfriend, you should keep a good friendship like that.

ok so i havent gotten my period yet but i keep getting this kinda...well...smelly crap in my underwear. what is it? is it a sign i might get my period? i havent had it yet and i dont know how i can see when i first get it

Well what color is it? If it's white to a slight yellow color= discharge.. and it's a sign that you will get your period soon.

If it's dark red/brown then it's most likely your period.

my bf said he wanted to take a break? what is that? I think it sounds like hes dumping me but he sed not exactly. whats going on? i tried asking him and he just says he kind of confused right now.

A break is when you need some time to yourself.

If he's confused right now, you need to ask him.. if he meant seeing other people.

Sometimes that's what a break means..
To see other people.. and if that doesn't work out.

You go back.. being together.

It depends on the guy

Why are so many teenagers these days (particularly girls) obsessed with losing weight while they are like 100 lb?? Seriously, a girl who is like 12, 5 feet and 2 inches, and then complains she is overweight is actually underweight!

I don't get why girls want to get to be like 75 lb. Does anybody agree with me here?

Because all those tall and super skinny models are like that?
Sometimes the whole '100' number seems scary and "BIG" even though it's not.

I'm 80 pounds and I WISH i were 100!

They don't realize how unhealthy it is.

Its slang what does "chop" mean.This boy went to ask my mate out and he said, when can i chop her?

Sleep? Screw? Bang? Have sex with?

Yeah.

[view]


what does popping your cherry mean? i mean i have a "clue" but its not specific.

Popping your cherry- breaking the hymen.

So yeah it's your first time with sex and you're no longer a virgin once you break the hymen. So yeah.

KINDA LONG BUT PLEASE BARE WITH ME!!! Okay, I've been with my bf Josh now for 11 months. Around the 9th month, we've been fighting quite more often... and sometimes he just takes it overboard, he dosent hit me or anything, but he practially cusses me out and call me a stupid b***h, and stuff like that, I mean I love him very very much, but I tell him he can't just talk to me like I'm some kind of puppy.... so I just got this new job and the person who trained me is named johnny. Something about him just attracts me too him... he's patient with me, he never once did ridicule me about making mistakes (cause I am sooo clumsy!), he knows how to make me smile, we share alot of interests... we just click very well. Like one night we had to close the store together and he was on the phone so while he was on the phone, I took off his drive-thru headset and put the till infront of him.... later he walked up to me and was like thank you for that, no ones really done anything like that for me (I know it was little but it was a big thing for him I guess) and I was like your welcome.... and then one morning we had to work together and he wanted breakfest and didn't have a car, so I loaned him my car and he ended up bringing both of us breakfest and I thought that was sweet. He mocks (jokingly) everything I say and teases me playfully, and I like that...but I don't know who to choose.....PLEASE HELP!!!

I would go for this new guy. He seems really sweet and you don't deserve how you're boyfriend treats you. If a guy really loves you, he wouldn't call you those things. I know it's been a long time that you have been with Josh... I can't really tell you what to do.

But you seem happier hanging around Johnny and he seems to like you too.

Can an exes really be friends after a break-up that neither one knows why it ended? I need straight to the point answers

Yes you can be friends.

But then some people can't. One person may want to get back with them, the other person doesn't want to.. so it causes some damage to the whole friendship thing.

But you can be friends or best friends, especially if you were good with communication in the relationship.

i just started high school this year, and its so hard for me, mainly because its so different from what I'm used to with junior high. all of my friends have adjusted and seem to go with the flow, but i just cant. I'm up till midnight every night doing homework, i have tests and reports every week, and i feel like i have no control over my life anymore. i cant figure out how to manage my time, because i get home from school from 4-4:30 everyday [i live pretty far away from my school]. Does anyone have any tips on what i can do, and some tips for relieving stress, or better yet stopping it? thank you i appreciate it soo much

Yes it takes some time to get used to.
Just try to finish your homework in another class or at lunch, or before class. That's what some people did.

And if it's too much for you.. just study tests and work on big projects. Let little homework assignments go by.

If you're having too much trouble, talk to a teacher or something.. ask for their advice. Tell them you live really far from school and how you have limited time to get things done. They may give you a few more days for assignments. You just really need ONE good teacher as a friend, you know?

Try having a study group with your friends, tell them you need help.. they could make it fun.

I didn't know how to handle this stress when I got into high school and I just.. let it go. So don't do that, just keep trying. Sooner or later, it will become easier and it won't take up much time.

You need to multi-task. Get out a few books, get out those papers.. and maybe have a snack nearby.

It may seem hard to do, but it won't be anymore. If the class is too hard for you, drop it and go to another class.

tell him after class that you're going to go see a friend and do so.

you can always tell him, he should hang out with his friends because they probably miss him around and all.

or tell him straight.
that you need space.

i got my first period 1 week ago! it is still going on, and its not getting lighter. i've had it for 7 days and it feels like its not going away.

also, today i had horrible cramps, i had to come home from school i couldnt sit still i felt like i was going to die. my mom took me to the doctors, he sent my to CVS and he told me all of the medicine/pain relievers to use and now my cramps are gone. im NOT worried about cramps.

also today i threw up 3 times. the doctor checked me and i didnt have a fever my ears were fine i didnt have a cold, i was perfectly healthy so he doesnt know why i threw up. has anyone else ever threw up while on there period? is it normal?

basically my questions are...
1. is it normal to throw up while your on your period?
2. and since this was my first period, when i get my future periods will the cramps be not as bad?
3. and how long does the average menstural cycle go for each month? its been 7 days and it keeps getting heavier...
4. any other tips??

1. I'm not sure. But if your doctors say you're healthly, then don't worry much about it.

2. Cramps are different for everyone. For me, the first time I got them.. I could NOT bend over because it hurt like hell. Other times, it didnt hurt as bad since I went through it before.. but you will know you have cramps. You can take some medicine for it. Some other times, you won't get it.

3. Your first time, it's going to be heavy.
It's usually to 9 days to 14. Some women are different and it's just A WEEK. Some are lucky and only have it for 3 to 4 days. You're going to be irregular for a couple of months, so you won't be sure about it.

4. There's Midol for cramps.
You can have a heating pad, pressed against your abdomen.
Eat chocolate?

is there any way to get hair dye out of your hair? i rescently dyed it adn i don tlike how dark it is so im trying to just fade it because i dont want to redo it so soon and end up damaging my hair
ughh pleasee help
thanksss

If you leave in your shampoo for about half an hour... It would take some color away. But obviously, you'll have to do that a couple of times to see a difference.

Just wait a few weeks.
There's other ways to get it out but it will damage your hair.

So just leaving in the shampoo will help.

f/16

I was reading another question and I got to thinking, is there really a point to shaving your vagina? Like, is it actually recommended and stuff?

No not really.
But the whole pubic hair peeking out.. that could be a reason.

Some girls feel like they have to do that, before they have sex or anything with a guy..
because they think a guy likes it shaved?
(even though some don't)

Some girls like to feel clean

Am I the only one alive who thinks it's terrible that kids (13-16) are having sex? I'm only 18, but when I was 13, I was riding my bike and doing karate, not giving blowjobs on the school bus. But thats the norm now, and if you haven't had sex by the time you're 17, you must be ugly or way religeous. What on earth!? Am I the only one disgusted by this trend?

Yes it is DISGUSTING.
I dont know who thought it was cool to do it.
But apparently everyone agrees with it.
--They end up looking like whores.

I hate how girls think, they have to have sex and give blowjobs because everyone else is doing it. I dont know WHY they worry so much about a guy that is probably using them. They are so young and they have many years to get to that point.
YEAH i guess it's so cool now when you have herpes or HIV.
It kills me when people go around doing that and think it's the coolest thing to do (at a young age) They are so clueless about STDS and Pregnancy. I'm tired of these little girls asking.. My boyfriend and I want to have sex.. umm. HOW DO YOU DO IT? I don't UNDERSTAND! If you don't know how to do it.. then don't do it.
People need common sense.
Usually guys are out for one thing and they don't BELIEVE that then they end up getting hurt.

I'm 15 and a sophomore.
All these people I thought I knew, as a freshmen.. had sex with an upperclass men. It's not cool. YES it makes you popular but not in a good way. I wouldn't want the reputation of being easy or a whore. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN if guys say I'm a prude.
My virginity has a lot of value to me.
I'm not stupid enough to give it away easily.

I have friends that don't think about what they are doing. My friend has been pregnant about 3 times. She has had miscarriages. It's really sad. She lost twins.

I hope this trend stops.

Or they need to invest in some condoms at least.
AND make sure the guy is actually wearing it.
blah.
