about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.

I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

You really should check out Tooth & Nail. They're a Christian Rock label. :) The artists they have are really good (which are most of the ones I've listed).

So my breasts are a 34 C cup and i was wondering how big my nipples should be. They look kinda big to me, and i dont know if its normal or not.

Like rainbowcherrie mentioned below, there is no normal when it comes to the size of a girls nipples. Everyone is different. Nipple size is based on genetics, and sometimes even pregnancy. A woman with small nipples can have bigger nipples after giving birth, so it really is based on a lot of factors.

I'm sure you're fine though. There is no such thing as normal when it comes to that, so no worries.

i just took plan b that my sister bought from the cvs, she said that it's the same thing as what the doctors give you.. just that you pay more for it. it's for 17 year olds and under, and i took it 14 hours after the sex. how effective will it be? will it work? it said to take one, and to take the other one in 12 hours. it just didn't say how effective it was. help?

The Plan B contraceptive is most effective within 72 hours after one has had sex. Since you took it 14 hours after, it'll be more effective than it would be if you took it a week from now.

I'm not sure of an exact percentage, but pretty effective because you took it before the 72 hour suggestion wait.

Why do guys take so much pride in "protecting" their girlfriends when it just comes off as jelous and overprotective to the girl?

Because that's how guys are.

Males are taught early on in life that being protective and tough is manly. They're taught that if they're not those things that they're not men.

In knowing they've protected someone they feel appreciated, masculine, and proud of themselves. It's just how they're wired. Everyone is going to have pride over something.

Not every girl thinks that a protective boyfriend is caused by jealousy though. If my boyfriend was to protect me, I wouldn't think he was jealous/overprotective. I would actually prefer it and appreciate it. :)

okay so basically i work out everyday..my friend doesnt. we both weigh similar weights.
my questions are:

why does she look heavier than me if we're close in weight?
why do people who work out weigh more but look thin?

i feel fat sometimes because everyone is so thin..yet, i work out a lot so i weight, of course, a little more. everyone says i look good. but..idk..i guess it just makes me feel bad about myself that i cant be that thin because i want to be healthy and work out.
is there a way to work out and still like be at a low weight?

i know these are stupid questions..

but, thanks in advance to anyone who answers me.

She looks heavier because by not exercising she isn't taking care of herself. She's not working off what she eats so she looks heavier than she should. There's not a problem with that because everyone has a different lifestyle, but that's why she looks the way that she does.

As for you weighing more despite being thin, it's because muscle weighs more than fat does. You're thin & in shape, but the muscle is what's making you weigh more.

Heyyy I need help! My razor (Venus Vibrance) just crapped out on me. What's the best kind of razor you've used? Price doesn't matter, I just need a good one. Thanks!

I use the BIC ones. A lot of people dislike them because they tend to cut, but they only cut if you're not careful with them. I think it's good that they're sharp because they give the closest shave, and they're inexpensive. You can go to Wal*Mart and buy a 10 pack of them for like $2.50 & they'll last a while so you won't have to buy shavers for a couple months. :)

I usually don't like the more expensive ones. While most girls think they tend to work better, they don't work that well for me in my experience. They just seem clunky, and they don't do that good of a job on my legs, etc. I think the BIC work best. :) Try those & shave slow because they will cut you (& good) if you're not careful.

so my friend and her boyfriend were making out and like dry humping and he ended up jizzing in his pants and he she had no underpants on and so lows. she said her pants were wet and his boner was liek in her and she peed liek 15 minutes later. is it possible she could be pregnant? i told her to take an ovulation test.

I doubt it. They had their clothes on. If his penis went in her vagina & their clothes were off then the possibility would be higher. But, no, I doubt she will get pregnant from this.

Tell her not to do stuff like this if she doesn't know what she's getting herself into. Sex, dry or not, isn't a game & she should be more careful or at least be more educated about it.

Alright so last night this guy came to give me a hug and I hugged him but he wouldn't let go. And I was like "Dude, I gotta go." And he kept saying "Tap out! Tap out! Tap out!" and laughing. What does "tap out" mean??

14/f

It's a term used in wrestling, MMA fighting, stuff like that.

Usually, when someone has another person in a hold, the person will tap out, and the person who has them in the hold lets go. So, in order for the guy to let you go during the hug, he wanted you to tap out so he could let you go. :)

I'm seventeen years old and I'm looking for a job. The only problem is, my hair is dyed dark/bright blue. So not many places will hire me, besides like Hot Topic. But I don't really want to work there, so does anyone know of any places that will hire freaks? Haha.

You could try Pac Sun or Zumiez, but I'm not sure if you'd wanna work there either considering you won't work at Hot Topic.

Like Darby said below, you should probably try dying your hair a normal color like brown or blonde or something. Maybe even red or black. Anything that could be considered natural looking.

After that I would try book stores or movie theatres. :)

idk how to make a myscace bc every time i register it says like cant take it (i made my age older too) idk what im doin wrong

It could be that you're using the same e-mail over & over, or that the verification code you're typing in is wrong. Sometimes it takes a while for it to accept the verification code.

I would try a new e-mail, and then make sure you're typing the code in right.

Do you usually use Maxi Pads or Tampons? And do you know any kinds that work good?

I use Tampax Pearl. I don't like pads. In my opinion, Tampax Pearl work the best, but the bad thing is that they're a little pricey.

I am 12 and I NEED A JOB! Where does someone this young get a job? How do you get babysitting customers? I dont want to babysit my friend's kids because it feels awkward getting paid by someone you know. HELP

12 year old kids can't get jobs.

I also don't agree with a 12 year old babysitting. Sometimes parents want teens to babysit their 12 year olds, not a 12 year old babysitting their own 12 year old. That'd be weird. You also need to know a lot of things especially cause babysitting jobs are mostly dealing with young children. I don't think you should babysit.

I think you should just chill out. You don't need a job right now. You're 12. Enjoy your childhood.

What is your favourite type of pizza?

I usually like eating just cheese pizza, but sometimes I'll go for pepperoni, and maybe even meat lovers, but I won't eat any other types of pizzas besides those 3.

Ok my dad died a couple months back and i've been trying to get over it. get back to normal. but now my mom is out looking for another guy and is always talking about. like if we might move, or i'll get step brothers or sisters. im just not ready for it, should i be upset?

Absolutely. It's only been a couple of months and your mother is already trying to find a man?

Trying to move on so quickly doesn't help in the slightest. Trust me. It really only makes things worse. What she should be doing is going to therapy and relaxing. She should not be looking for someone.

You need to tell her to take time to recollect herself. You really have to talk to her about this. She can't jump into relationships this soon. It'll really fuck her up.

if you have an orgasime and it hurts but feals good is that bad

An orgasm shouldn't hurt. That doesn't sound normal to me.

what does bj and hj mean?

BJ stands for blowjob.
HJ stands for handjob.

You use your mouth for a blowjob. And your hand for a handjob, obviously. Next time Google this.

i kinda feel like i complain all of the time!
and it drives people nuts.
how can i stop complaining?
and just be happy with who i am?
and my life?

People who complain too much are usually known to only look at the negative in life. The more you concentrate on the negative, the more you'll complain & think that your life sucks.

You need to concentrate on what's good in your life. Remember that you have an education, people who love you, a place to live, and food. A lot of people don't have the privileges that we do.

Stop worrying about the negative. Think about what's good & I can honestly say you'll see a difference in how you think about your life.

Why are some people so afraid of commitment?

Most people are scared of getting hurt, or putting in too much & not getting the same amount back. Some people just don't feel like dating. Some people just don't like the thought of commitment at all. There's a difference between not liking something and being afraid of it.

But just know that every person is different.

I play volleyball in college and we have 2 practices a day & conditioning after the last practice. we have about an hour & a half in between practices...I'm wondering what is the best thing to do between the practices in order to have the most energy for the next practice.

You can either drink an energy drink, or a 5 hour energy shot.

I feel like an outsider sometimes with this. Like I absolutely love death metal, heavy metal, and various other kinds of metal. Then I can deeply enjoy country, pop, punk, and rap. I like everything and people call me weird because I like metal, like Chimaira and In Flames kinda metal, then switch the song to pop like Taylor Swift, or Katy Perry.

Is this weird? What do you think?

I don't think that's weird. You just like everything out there, and there's nothing wrong with that. :)

Everyone has different musical tastes. Some people will listen to anything, and some people will listen to anything within a genre & it's sub genres. It just varies from person to person. But there's nothing wrong or weird about it.
