I am a freshman in high school and i recently lost my virginity and i know to use protection but my question is can you only get pregnant when you are on your period? or only when u are not?
help if you i rate!!!!!!!!

EDIT: She does indeed rate. Specifically, she rates twos. Be careful about answering this one, y'all.
Yes, you can, in either case. Case in point, a former teacher of mine told a story about how her own parents had a doctor work out for them what time during her (cycle? I don't know the correct term) she was least likely to get pregrant. Some years later, my teacher was one of six children of theirs.

How do you make all that stuff that appears when you type in stuff in a box like on Google? There's so much of them on my computer and I can't get it to go away. I deleted the cookies in my Temporary Internet Files, I deleted my Temporary Internet Files,and I deleted my history but it still won't go away. How can I make it go away? Usually I'm good with computers but I just can't figure it out! Help!

If you use a Gecko based browser, there should be a way to clear that sort of thing. In Firefox, it's under tools->options->privacy->form information.
If you're using IE5, go get Firefox. Unless you're using OS X, in which case go get Safari. IE has really fallen out of use as a modern browser, as Microsoft can no longer update it significantly. It also has more security holes than a swiss cheese, but that doesn't concern most people.

Am I the only one that believes people should type correctly when asking a question? Is there some way to create something that would change words that were "Chatspeak" to English?
For example:
there is dis boi, i relli relli like him! wat do i do?
Would become:
There is this boy, I really, really, like him! What do I do?
I know that is a dumb question to start with, but it's an example. I don't know how to create a program that would change the "fake" words into "real" words.. if you know, and would share, you rock!
(link)
|
It would be possible but really, really hard to do. You'd need to somehow arrange a proxy program for your browser, and get it to change out 'chatspeak' with real words.
From a translating perspective this is very simple, but implementing an arrangement like that is beyond most people without professional experience. Now, the people who run tools like the Google page translator could add another language type in minutes, and after that it's just a matter of making a list of 'chatspeak' words. I know that somewhere out there there's already a 'Mr. T' page translator and a 1337 page translator.
But for practical purposes, you'll probably be better off just not reading it. I don't; if someone doesn't care enough to type legibly, I sure's hell don't care enough to give myself a headache reading it.

is it just me?...or is it just the way my friend acts?...or are others like this also?..
there is this girl Angie...ive known her for about 4 years already..theres time where were close, like best friends. but lately shes been so annoying!..i get so irritated by her!..juss things she does!..shes so fake! and just doesnt know how to be herself! and she'll be so loud just to get attention!!...
anyone else hate this about someone?! (link)
|
Yeah, practically everybody. I've rarely seen girls who aren't like that. It's funny, you see tham and they greet each other and start talking... and the one is wearing a huge, massively fake smile before they even know what the other is talking about... and don't get me started on excessively loud people.
But that's just me. I don't think that people really change, so there's some chance she'll go back to acting normal eventually, but I don't know if it would be possible for you to cause such a change. I (personally, of course) would just avoid her, but that's not an effective way to keep friends.

does anybody understand how to play the game minesweeper thats usually on computers? Like i understand how to play it but how do u no where the "mines" are or whatever (link)
|
When you click on a square, the number it shows (if it doesn't kill you) indicates the number of mines adjacent to that square.
To play, I click around until it opens up an area, then expand on that. For example:
Where 1s are numbers, -s are unclicked squares, and os are blank clicked suqares:
oo-
11-
1--
---
You know that the - down and to the left of the upper-left one is a mine, because there are no other unclicked squares adjacent to that one. So you can click all the squares which are adjacent to the ones which are adjacent to the mine, and possibly get something that looks like this:
ooo
111
1-1
11-
or this:
ooo
111
1-2
12-
in which case you know that the lower right -is a mine because the numbers adjacent to both -s are twos.
There's a lot of tricks you can use to depermine where mines are, and eventually the hardest difficulty can be possible. However, in some situations it's not possible to know which square is a mine, so you've got to take a gamble.

i think a kid i know is gay how can i tell if he is or not? he does everything a other guy does and he had a party and invited guys only? is he gay? (link)
| |
I'm tempted to ask why you care... but let's not go there. Now, evidently you're not about to do something direct like ask (and if you do, who knows if he'll tell the truth?), so my suggestion would be to wait and see. If at some point he a) comes out, or b) makes out with another guy, he's probably gay.

ok heres the thing. I'm an "a" and im pretty insecure about it. My boyfriend says its ok and he doesn't mind and that he loves me no matter how big I am, but his last girlfriend was a "d" and i feel bad because he "down sized" so much. What can I do to become more confident and secure with myself when I am around him and in general? And what can I do with my boyfriend to make up for what I dont have? (link)
| |
18/m. Personally, I think that huge boobs are nasty. Now, I realise that I'm in the minority here, but if he's already your boyfriend he obviously doesn't have a problem with it, and I'm confident that he wouldn't want you to worry yourself about it on his behalf.

hey im 15 f, are most teenage girls out there depressed? is it just a faze we go through or is it just certain individuals that are insane.. its not like i have had a hard life but i am always sad and pessimistic about everything. i feel like i dont deserve anything and no one likes me. i have been diagnosed with 'anorexia' i think they are wrong tho, i am a heavy drinker and i smoke pot often, and people are starting to notice the scars on my arms and wrists from cutting.. i put on a front when i with people but when i am by myself all i can think about is death.. i dont know why i am like this i dont have a reason to be, i was just wondering does anyone else feel this way!? (link)
|
I would like to recommend that you go about getting help promptly.
Your depression is most likely the result of a chemical imbalance... seratonin or whatever. Well, what is any emotion? I don't like the idea of using chemicals to change someone's personality, but when you're obsessed with death, using drugs, and cutting... it's time for happy pills. Try it.
Now, to actually answer your question, yes. Probably a great many people, most of which either end up dying or getting aforementioned help. Trying the latter first would probably be the best idea.

Okay, I just want to know why so many people consider suicide. What do they think it will achieve? Do they really think everyone will be better off if they are dead? Everyone would just be upset! So please, someone enlighten me.
Thanks!
Signed,
Seeking enlightenment.
and please dont delete this question again. i really do want to know! (link)

Well, what's the point of life? Taking the long view, a lot of time passes, and then you die. Living takes quite a lot of effort, and if life sucks and is looking to get worse more or less indefinitely, why bother? Cut to the chase and you get to skip however many years of suck.
Everyone's reasons and reasoning is different, but that's what makes sense to me. Some people (who generally have some kind of significant mental disorder) really do believe that people would be better off if they were dead. Others want to escape, sometimes it is no doubt a cry for help (note - girls attempt suicide something like eight times more often than boys, but boys succeed much more frequently). Well, I'm no psychologest, but with and luck that should help. You'd probably be better off finding a book on the subject, if you want detail.

everytime i open itunes, a little thing pops up asking me if i want to update it to a newer version of itunes. does anyone know if there is a difference when you update it, and is it worth it? (link)
|
Unless you've got loads of RAM (like, more than you think you could ever possibly use), I wouldn't touch it. I upgraded, and it uses three times more RAM than my previous version.
I've since switched to winamp, because it uses 1/7 as much as iTunes 4.7.1, although if anyone knows where I could get an old version of iTunes for windows, I'd appreciate it. The older the better, as long as it's stable.

how can i like.. "come out of the closet" to 4 of my best friends.. i tell them EVERYTHING and i just hate hiding from them. they know i'm in a relationship, they just don't know its with another chick. please help. (link)
|
"Shouldn't" is a long distance from "won't". Personally, I wouldn't tell them. Maybe you'll get lucky, but my dim view of human nature is practically garunteeing that it'll cause problems. Nothing at first but then they'll start distancing themselves and... I'd hazard that you can imagine the situation.
Ignoring all that, I'd suggest that you not make too big a deal of it. Mention it out of hand if the topic comes up, and move on to something else. They'll probably think you're kidding at the time, but it'll get them used to the idea, and they'll start considering that you might have been telling the truth.

im an atheist,and im considering Christianity,because someone really made me realize,that there has 2 be a God.She gave me so much proof, but i'm still not sure if i'm ready because i've been an athiest for about 2 or 3 years.what should i do? (link)
|
I'm with most of the others. Read up on different religions and try to figure out which you agree with the most. I say that mostly because I disagree with several mainstream Christian beliefs, and also because I was raised Christian and it didn't work out for me. I was never really Atheist because I couldn't honestly say I didn't believe in something (based on personal experience, y'all...), but I think I understand where you're coming from. Although, I'd love to debate your friend's proof - I think that if there was a way to definitively prove god's existance to someone set against the idea everyone would /know/ that he exists, so it wouldn't be a matter of belief.
And ignore the anti-religious asses. They're just as bad as fundie christians. Maybe worse - at least the fundies hand out Chick tracts, which can be entertaining([edit]: google 'chick bible tract').

About a month or so ago, i saw this show degrassi. There was a girl named elli and she cut herself. Ever since i saw that one episode my life has been gettin worse and worse. My bf dumped me for another girl. My best friends dont ever want to do anything with me, and the guy that has liked me for 3 years hates me now. and well...i started to cut. It really relieve my pain and helps me get things out. But recently my friend say my arms and legs in gym and shes going to tell a counciler. i mean, i dont want her to!! i know its gotten really far..and its really hard to stop i've tried everythign! i've tried hiding my scissors and puttin a rubber band on my wrist NOTHING works!! I NEED HELP! what should i do? if my parents find out they might send me to a mental hospital!!
-hurt and scared (link)

Don't stress too much. Whoever finds out, the world won't end, and I sincerely doubt that you'll be committed. If a councillor finds out, he/she/whatever will definitely talk to you. Explain that you've been under a lot of stress lately, and that it's great stress relief. I wouldn't try denying it; quitting a habit like that will be hard, as you've discovered, and you will need help with it.
They will definitely talk to your parents, who should be concerned about you and try to help. They might have you see a psychologest/psychiatrist/whatever - which, let's face it, you probably need - and possibly you will get a happy pill prescription - which just about everyone, especially you - needs.
And if your friend doesn't tell anyone, you should go to a councillor yourself and explain the situation. You might even be able to convince them to leave your parents out of it.

I was wonderin if you knew any software to download music for free cause we tried to pay for it before it was only supposed to be 2 dollars a month and they charged us 4,754 dollars so i wanted to know if there was a good free one besides kazaa and winmx (link)
| |
I have in the past used Kazaa, eDonkey, iSwipe, bittorrent, and Limewire, and I'm trying Ares right now. I, personally, recommend LimeWire for individual songs and BitTorrent for albums. Ares looks all right for popular files, but doesn't do so well finding rare ones.

I've figured out that i am bi...but i am a christian..and i realize how wrong it is...and i hate myself for it...im trying to change myself.....but its hard for me to completely stop liking guys....but its so wrong...in the bible it says that doing stuff with another guy is an abomination..and they should be destroyed..that scares me..so i am trying to fight it off..i have a gf...and she's helping me thru it too...but my ? is...is it really wrong to be bi?.. (link)
|
Interestingly enough, the bible doesn't actually say that homo/bi sexuality is wrong*. It does say that /acting on/ it is. So just avoid getting it on with another guy and you'll be fine. Shouldn't be too hard.
*I'm referring mostly to the new testimate. Jesus never so much as mentions the subject. Also note that quotes in which homosexuality is mentioned tend to be a list of what constitutes a sin, and a few words could have been inserted here and there. I, personally, very seriously doubt that god has anything against homosexuality.
Re: Sodom and that other city, whose name I can't spell, I've heard that the sin for which they were destroyed was inhospitality, not homosexuality.

First, let me preface this by saying that this is going to a bit long and that I'm not highly religious. I always believed that if you lived your life morally and right, God or the cosmos or what have you, would reward you in a way. You would be able to affect people's lives by the way that you live.
So I've lived my life well- I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, engage in pre-marital sex, am always kind, and work hard helping others, however, I'm losing my faith that its all meaningful. It seems to me that people in general are becoming too superficial. There is no more great search for knowledge and truth and TRUE beuty. People don't trust people anymore- always thinking the worst ulterior motive, even when there is none. I feel like I'm fighting a dying battle to keep a little bit of innocence and purity. Am I just being naive thinking that if I keep living my life the way I am, will "reward" me in the end? Am I the only one who feels like this? Am I the only one who thinks that we're not progressing but rather giving in to our most carnal urges? I'm losing faith and I know eventually all the people I help will feel it by the way I treat them. Your input would be appreciated. (link)

Philosophers have pretty much taken over the concepts of truth and beauty, but I'm pretty sure that /people/ are the same as they've always been. Now, to me, that's a pretty depressing thought, but if the things you mentioned used to exist, they still do and always will(excepting dramatic evolution or extinction I suppose).
Personally, I lost my faith in humans years ago. "Years ago" means three or four, but I'm young. It counts as a decent ammount of time. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs... haven't found anything to be wrong with pre-marital sex though ^^. I was thoroughly agnostic for about ten years, but recently I've found that I do believe in "something". I'm not sure about an afterlife, but I think that being a good sameritan is definitely worth it, though I can't really elaborate.
One suggestion would be to go through official avenues when helping. Volunteer work and so on... people who are trying to get half are far less likely to think you're up to something.

okay my best friend has this guy friend and i like him and she likes him...err i really dont kno what to do...i mean i dont think she will get mad at me if i asked him out...even though deep down inside i think that she will...what should i do should i ask him out or should i not...im so confused. (link)

Ask your friend whether she'd mind you asking him out of if she has plans for him.

I'm fed up with life and I just want to die, but how exactly can I kill myself - I don't know how. I'm 14 and never had, never will have a boyfriend - I'm ugly, short, boring and shy. I think I have social anxiety but I just can't face troubling someone with my problems, I'm not worth that. I don't have a life, I spend my life going to school, eating, sleeping, and on the computer. I moved house about 8 months ago, and before when I was with my mates I could be confident and loud, and not care what people thought of me. But my new friends are really immature - we're in year 10 and they chase year 7's and are REALLY loud. They think I act like a 50 year old because I don't find acting like a 6 year old fun. I can't say what I think because if I offend them then they'll leave me and I have no one. I can't get new friends because I'm too shy. I want to move back to where I used to live, so I can get my old life back, I miss my friends so much. My dad kind of wants to move back, but my mum is happy here and she won't move. There was this boy at my old school who I liked a lot since year 7, and I miss him but have no way to contact him, I couldn't ask my old mates to get his number 'cos it'd be embarrassing. I have nothing to live for, what can I do? (link)
|
Think about how people would feel if you did die. Hopefully you don't want to cause them that sort of pain. You'd totally screw over your parents' lives because they'd feel all guilty.....
I can't really help you as per friends. I haven't had any since I was a bit younger than you, but I don't like people.
Now. If you find that you're seriously planning suicide, ask that your parents let you talk to a therapist. You don't have to tell them what's wrong or anything - they'll know there's a problem and do what they can.
Lastly: if you decide to try it anyway, for frick's sake don't try to hang, drown, electrocute, or burn yourself. There are much more pleasant ways to go, and I'm sure you can find them on google. With numbered steps.

In my house, my siblings have about average grades. Since i was young i have done extremely well. Last year i got a 4.0 through the hole year. Now school is getting very difficult for me but somehow i manage to do okay. It is my freshmen year in high school and i got 4 a's and 2 b's and i wish i could do better. I have a hard time memorizing things so when tests come i bomb them. My family is not what you would call rich, but we arent poor either. my parents would have all 3 of us kids in college at the same time when im a freshmen in college. I want to get a schollarship somewhere but as my dad says, "A's will get you schollarships, b's wont." My question is what are some different ways that all of you memorize the hard facts, expecially in biology and history. (link)

Flash cards. Over and over and over and over. If something is a particular problem, make a memnonic.
Using memory aid devices helps your memory significantly. Like, you get better at remembering things in general, not just remember things better because you used flash cards to learn them.
