what if you like this kid ALOT, and he told u he liked u but u werent sure if u could believe him, and u didnt tell him u liked him, and then ur friend started talkin to him, and u were telling him that they should meet and what not and he was like r u serious whats her screen name and w/e.....what if him and u friend end up doing stuff.... (link)
You're over thinking this. Go talk to this kid. It doesn't matter whether HE means it or not, if you like him, take the chance that he is being serious and tell him. And anyway, shouldn't your friend already know that you like him? If you're good friends, she should know already that it would be a big mistake to date this guy, knowing full well that you like him. that'd be a slap in the face.


I love my boyfriend but how long in a relationship do u think u should wait to have sex? (link)
don't put yourself on a schedule for that kind of thing. If you're ready, you'll know it. And since you don't know, then you probably aren't ready. Slow down and stop trying to put stuff like this down on a calendar.


I am really white, but i have freckles on my face so every time i go in the sun my frackles seem to get darker but not my skin! i want to go to a tanning salon but iono how much it is, and i heard you could get cancer. should i just put sunscreen on my face then the freckles wont get darker but then i wont get a tan on my face too, what do i do??? (link)
Oy. Don't go tanning. It looks unnatural and everybody knows you don't really have that skin tone. See, the skin tone you have is the one you were MEANT to have. If you were meant to have a darker skin tone, you would have been born with it. Be happy with the skin tone you have, tanning makes you age faster anyway. And why do you want to look like an oompa-loompa anyway? Just go be yourself. Why do you want to do something that's dangerous to your health AND pay for it? I'm really pale too. You learn to stop fighting in. Self tanner makes it look like you've got dirt on your face and tanning salons make you look baked. If I was you, I would skip this stupid trend- it'll be gone soon anyway, and just stick with my natural color. Quit trying to be someone else.


Hey everyone, 15/m here and I wanted to get my ears pierced today, both of them. I asked my parents they said fine I could get it done. But right when I was about to be out the door my mom asks "which ear?" then I said both. And she gives me this look and asks "why?". She just goes and asks question after question after question after question and starts talking about what getting your ears pierced mean you're gay or some shit. Hello mom!!! That was last millenium, maybe if I wanted to get just my right ear pierced then that would mean I'm gay, but either way, I'm not, I had a g/f, she's seen her etc. Guys everywhere have both of their ears pierced, I see it in my school, I see it in the NBA, I see it in the NFL, in music videos. I don't know wtf is her prob with it being just my left or both. And I wanna get it done TODAY. What should I do?

PS- Sorry, but as you can tell I'm PISSED. (link)
Tell your mom that whole "left is right and right is wrong" stuff about guys and ear piercings is crap. It is anyway. Tell her you aren't gay, and it should matter even if you were, and that you don't care about that stuff. And then...go get your ears pierced. And you're right, a lot of guys get both pierced (I think it tends to look better anyway) If she won't let you...there's always the 'ol apple, ice cube, and needle old fashioned way (I saw this one guy who pierced his own ear in class without that stuff. It took him a while but he did it) I wouldn't advise it, necessarily, but it can be done.


I have a serious question, Okay my best i think she is lik ebi-polar or something, she is the best friend ive ever had and shes been there for me through a whole bunch. But i think hse is bi-polar or somehting because one minute everythings normal and then the next she just snapps on me over the littlest stuff.. I mean her freindship means alot to me but i dont kno what im supposed ot do ... PLEASE HELP ME !!! (link)
that's not bi-polar. Bi-Polar is when you feel like you can do anything and then suddenly you feel like your world is crashing down on you. Kind of like a euphoria. Go talk to your friend and ask her what's up. Don't be accusing though, because she'll probably just get defensive then. Something is probably going on with her that she hasn't told you about. She seems to be pretty stressed out. Cut her some slack and give her some space and above all, be understanding.


i have a feeling my boyfriend is cheating on me, everytime i call some girl will answer and she says hes not there and just hangs up the phone without me even getting to say ok or bye, i know its not his mom cuz i know her voice and he doesnt have any sisters, and i know that no family is visiting. what should i tell him?? (link)
What should you tell him? what are you supposed to be telling him? If I were you I'd just ask him who this mysterious chick is and why he's never around to answer the phone. If he gives you some lame answer that makes no sense or is hard to believe, go with your instincts and quit dating this guy. You could always ask his mom. It doesn't seem likely for someone's mom to cover for them, friends maybe , but his mom would remember what it feels like to be cheated on and would probably (should) have enough respect for you to let you know. Nobody deserves that.


Are tampons supposed to hurt? because i hate wearing pads, but tampons hurt sooo bad that i cant even walk some of the time and im a very heavy bleeder so i can wear the small tampons. also does your eating habits have to do with how heavy you bleed? like if i eat healthy food and fruit and stuff will it make me bleed lighter? (link)
Hmm...you're wearing them wrong. Go read the instructions on the box. If those don't make sense, it's sort of embarrasing but go ask your mom. And consider seeing a doctor, because not being able to walk from them is definately NOT normal. Food has nothing to do with the flow, it'll just either make cramps worse or take away some of the pain. Don't eat a lot of sugar, and exercize. But if I were you, I'd be going to the doctor by now.


okay, this might seem really nasty, but i don't know how to have sex. i just don't. and i need someone to tell me... soon.
what are some things we should do?? i'm sooo clueless... i don't know what to do!! (link)
how old are you? chances are you shouldn't even be considering having sex. Honestly...my dad puts it best "You put two people of the opposite sex together in a room....they'll eventually figure it out" So don't worry about it. You don't seem to be ready for that kind of thing anyway. And it's something that comes naturally..it's like an instinctual thing. So RELAX.


Me n my b/f talk a lot! But lately i dont wanna call him and i just dont really want to talk to him...i mean yeah i really love him and i want to see him ALL the time and talk to him in person, but i just dont want to talk to him on the phone a lot anymore. (link)
well, you either aren't a phone person or you see him so much that you have nothing new to say on the phone. See, I really hate the phone. It's hard for me to talk to people I can't see. It's kind of like an audio-chat online- it's just weird to not see the actual reaction. So next time you see him, tell him you don't really like talking on the phone and that you shouldn't call each other so much unless it's for information- like dates, times for stuff, etc. And if you just don't like the phone...well, there's always instant message.


I am 13 and female and my boyfriend is 15. His friends think he is really dumb for going out with me and i think he might start thinking the same way. What should I do? Keeping in mind that he is also my neighbor. (link)
dude, if he dumps you because he doesn't have the guts to stand up to his friends, you're better without him. Go talk to him and see how he feels about the whole situation. You could maybe talk to his friends but chances are that they probably see you as a little kid for some strange reason and are probably just sort of mad because they don't get so much time with him. it's kind of a territory thing. So ignore his friends, and go talk to your boyfriend. He needs to know that you need his support and if he doesn't understand that, well then dude, it's time to say goodbye.


well i use to have really bad self esteem and it was hard for me to be out going or nething cuz im not the prettiest person in the world but nor am i the ugliest.. its just i have all these gorgeous friends and then theres me and i juz dont think im pretty.. ive gotten a lot more self esteem and am confident enuf now where i dont mind being loud and outgoing around ppl idk and i dont care wut they think.. but then there are times when ppl say mean things bout me and idk it still juz hurts :-/ how do i get more confidence and just not care wut others think? (link)
The trick is never comparing yourself to anyone else. They aren't you and you aren't them. The only person you should ever compare yourself to is you, comparing yourself from now to where you were a couple of years ago. The other thing is remember that the only reason people say mean things is that they're the ones who have low self-esteem and confidence. Keep in mind that people like that feel the need to put others down so that they feel better about themselves. So in essence, you're better than them. Remember that and be secure with who you are.


I always wanna hang out with people. But when we come over to my house I dont know what to do. Do you have any suggestions for ideas of stuff to do. We always end up really bored!! I have cable but thats not a very fun thing to do when you have ppl over. any ideas would help!!! thnx (link)
Break out a video camera and make a movie. Play a crazy card game- there's this one called Lunch Money (i think?) and you use different forms of punches and stuff (like uppercuts and kicks, stuff like that). It's kind of violent but fun. Put on some music. Go cook something. Walk around your neighborhood. And you know, there's this thing called conversation too...if you know, you and your friends...talk.

*Ha. thanks for telling me I'm retarded, but you did want advice didn't you? And actually, I'm not retarded and that's pretty immature of you.*


im a 13 year old girl and i think i might like this guy who is in my summer school class.i am pretty sure he is 14.hes really cute and he seems really sweet but i cant be sure if that yet.i really REALLY wanna get to kno him. i wanna b friends with him and talk to him. how can i start getting to kno him and talking to him? (link)
Well, if you don't know his name, ask who he is. Just go up and say hi. If you sit sort of near him in this class, then make a funny remark if something happens. Ask him if he knows some band you really like. Just TALK to him. It doesn't really matter what it is. Just go introduce yourself, and have confidence...like you know who you are and you have a reason for coming up to him. Be friendly. Be interesting. Be yourself. The best guys'll appreciate you for being you, not just some brainless airhead who looks nice. At least say hi and introduce yourself, it'll either get him talking to you, or have a weird awkward silence- which will force awkward laughter and then a conversation. Either way...it works. Just go for it.


How do you know when it's love at first site? (link)
hmm...love at first sight. There's no such thing. Love involves trust which means you have to know the person well. You can't instantly know a person well if you've just seen them. So, you can feel lust- that's easy, but love involves a little more effort than just turning your head and sharing a split second glance.


well... i hang out with friends like everyday! an there are like 4 guyz who really like me but last nite, my mom forgot to pick me up an it wuz like 11:00 an i heard will, frankie, an steve in steves back yard yellin at the tv. so i went there untill my mom picked me up. an well my didnt ppick me up till like 2 in the mornin, but frankie kept saying he loved me, an that he wanted me to go out with him really bad an everything.. but the 3 other guyz say that too but im just to confused because we went in the hott tub an steve an will started to flirt wit me an frankie kept grabbin me an sayin he loved me an that he wanted me an everything im just really really really confused CAN SOMEONE HELP PLZZ!!! 14/f/ny (link)
Oy. I wouldn't date any of 'em. If some guy just starts grabbing you out of nowhere and saying stuff like that...you know and I know (we all know) he doesn't mean it and prolly just wants some action. So I would say, don't date any of them because these guys are just trying to be smooth and they aren't so...just stay friends and nothing more.


this slimy clear (sometimes milky) stuff is comming out of my vigina and i think its cum but i dont know. is it? and how do i make this stuff stop comming!!!????PLEASE HELP! SOMETIMES SO MUCH COMES OUT THAT MY PANTS GET WET SO IT LOOKS LIKE I PEED IN MY PANTS! :( (link)
Okay..first off, it's not cum. Just to set the record straight. It's discharge and it's normal. If it goes all the way through to your pants, I'd say go see a doctor because you might have an infection. Plus, I think (I'm not sure on this one so go check it out) they might have some pill that slows it down a bit. But if it bothers you that much, go see a doctor. Or...ask your mom.


Im 5 ft and i weigh 91 Ibs...is that fat? (link)
NO. If anything, you should gain weight. Then again, I don't know how old you are. Still, you aren't fat.


I need some help here!!! im 13 years old.. but i really like this boy Frank z!!!.......... he's 18 :( and my brother just passed away, and he has been there all the way for me.. telling me we'll get threw it together and stuff we don't 'do it' lol! were just people who do like to cuddle for hours watchin kim possible or something, we make out too!! but nothing past that, he doesn't want to!! and neither am i!! but i just don't know what to do.. i mean like he is 5 years older than me, mu mom... it doesn't really bother her, cause she trusts the both of us, and she likes frankiie a lot!! he is a really sweet guy! but we all have to like hide it from my dad. cause he would kick frankies ass :/ i really don't know what to doo.. can you pleaseee help me???? thanksss *~>> LIZAAA!!!! :) (link)
he's 18....umm I really wish I could tell you to go out with him but I can't. And I know it's really hypocritical of me to say that, seeing as I almost went out with and 18 year old guy, and I'm 15. That's only two more years, but still...so instead I'm just gonna caution you with this one. BE CAREFUL. Don't do anything you don't want to. The only reason I wouldn't date this guy is because he's already been through highschool and will be off to college probably. So i kind of wonder what you two have in common. You may be a lot more mature than girls your age, emotionally speaking. I was. I still am. umm...if you're mom's behind you with this one, than go with your instincts if you want. Your dad is prolly just being protective, my dad's like that. It's just the fear of their little girls growing up. I think it just scares them that you don't need them so much. They just need to learn to let go a little bit. But man, be careful with this one.


I am a Christian girl. My parents like to go to a supposedly "Christian Phycic" He says that God gives him his powers. I dont really believe in ANYTHING a phycic says, but my parents do. Is this phycic a sin in God's eyes? Please help me understand! (link)
Umm...well if you think about it, all the old prophets were sort of phsychics. But seeing as all of those guys are dead, it's kind of hard for me to believe in these new guys. See, the thing is, this guy (or girl whatever) is probably just trying to call attention to themselves. If they want money- they're making stuff up. Even if they aren't- they're probably making it up. It's the same thing with the so called "healers". Get a Concordia study Bible and look it up in the back under index and see if it says anything against it (it also says the church leaders are a brood of vipers- not so nice, eh?) But either way, the sins of this person don't fall onto you. Your job is to just follow God, show him to others through your actions....stuff like that.


The guy I REALLY like, loves to drink :-/ He gets drunk all the time except NOT when I'm around because I hate it! Should I still like this guy or move on? It's really hard to move on though... =( (link)
Since you said he gets drunk all the time, leave him. How much fun can you be having hanging out with a guy who's either thinking about getting drunk, or getting a hangover. This dude needs to learn how to grow up, drinking all the time doesn't do that. Dude, you're better than that. Move on. Find yourself a cool straightedge dude if you hate the drinkers.
