Ew, don't you hate it when that happens? Sorry to say it sweetie, but that will happen more times than you know.
There's a very good chance that you won't get your period. Periods don't come on schedules where they happen in exactly a month. It does have some leway.
But, even if you do get your period, there's a way around it. Be happy, because I just happen to know what it is. This will be our little secret:
Even if you're on your period, if you go into cold water, no blood will come out. It's just cold water that stops the bleeding. Once you get out of the pool, you might wanna run to the bathroom and grab some toilet paper, but nothing will happen while you're actually IN the pool. My only other piece of advice is to stay away from wearing a bikini. Periods + Bikinis= Don't Mix.
So don't worry about it. Have fun! Go all out! Don't let a little week in your month spoil your great time at your friend's party.

Birth control is just a few ways that will prevent pregnancy:
~Pills (Which probably do have side effects, but I'm not quite sure what they are)
~Condoms
~Just plain not doing it all together

That statement is used when you have a serious problem going on. For example, a friend of yours died, You're doing badly in school, a boyfriend/girlfriend breaks up with you. Those are all situations that would probably get you down in the dumps.
Have you ever had a loved one die? Someone/thing that you care deeply about? Whether it be a person or pet, your first reaction would probably be, "This isn't real, I must be dreaming." Well, that's what denial is, and it always happens first in situations like that, only because the human mind doesn't know what else to do. It's too much for you to handle, so you start thinking that what happened wasn't real.
But don't worry, it's normal, and it gets better. The other 2 steps are the most important ones"
~Acceptance
~Working to fix it

That's a really hard position you're in. Sometimes friends can block out help from people because they trust their instincts so much. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't value your opinion or help.
You have to just be totally blunt about speaking to her. The next time she brings it up, just plain out tell her "Yeah, we need to talk about that."
Yes, sex does have some pleasurable qualities, but they should be saved for when people are in love. Because if they're not, there are other qualities about sex that will make her regret it BIG TIME. I think that you should just set them on the table for her. Show her that there are some major issues she would have to worry about after she's done it:
~She'd probably be labeled as an "Easy Target" for most guys. And trust me, that may sound like a good label at the time for her, because of all the action and attention she'd get, just that's a horrible thing to be known as.
~She would have to deal with the threat of teenage pregnancy. Ask her if she would really want a baby at the age of 15. Yes, there are some birth controls that can be used, but none of them are really 100%. Condoms break. Birth control pills are 99.9% affective. There is a chance that the other .1% will slip up. The only truely affective and safe birth control is not doing it all together.
~Is she ready for the risk of death? Believe it or not, sex can kill you. AIDS, STDs, there are so many health threats that come along with the package. It only takes one time for a disease to pass through. You have NO IDEA where your partner has been, so you don't know how many people he's slept with and, unknowingly/indirectly, you've slept with.
If your friend knew that, I doubt that she'd still consider it. You have to bring some of these issues up with her before she does anything drastic.
There is a possiblility that she won't listen, but she can never say that you didn't try or care.
Good luck!

Hm...that's a tough one. What I usually do when I want to lose weight quickly is I would only eat vegtables for a day, and then that night I would wear heavier clothes to sleep, and that way I would sweat while I was sleeping. As you know, sweating is one of the only ways to get weight out. But those methods are drastic. Probably a little too drastic for you, because I needed to lose weight by the next day or so, but you have a little over a month! So I suggest jogging, running, swimming, anything with physical activity. And you probably only have to do a little a day, depending on how much you desire to lose. But remember, you have a month, so don't go crazy.

So, I decided to start this up again after having it idlized for over 2 years. I would have made a new site, except I really like the name that I had. So yeah. Here I am now. A.Good.Lie is back.


I'm a cosmetology major. I love art. And music. And..yeah...

I'll update this later.
