this year, i feel that i have started to change. I notice that my friends are best friends with other people and it's harder for me to understand them. We hardly talk like we used to and everyone seems to not find me as "interesting" as before. what's going on with me? (link)
nothing is going on with you, your friends are just descovering new friends as you should and will, it's nothing to fear, friends come in and out of your life like waiters in restaurants
hope this helps

What advice do you have for a gay couple...one being 17 and the other being 26? (link)
age and gender does't really come into it, your like every other couple in the world, just be yourselves


Okay, my room is extremely messy..nothing is clean..and i feel like i cant do anything else until i get my room clean..so the problem is I HATE HATE HATE cleaning...esp. my room because it seems like a lost cause..to kinda give you an idea..i have a king size bed and there are clothes, magazines, and a bunch of other stuff on there that shouldnt be..the problem is i dont know where to start...should i start by putting away my clothes? picking up things on the floor or picking up trash or what? Thanks so much in advance! (link)
omg i have the exact same problem! i found out the best thing to do is to start off with small things and just kinda get into it, then by the time you move onto the bigger stuff it becomes easier and does't feel like a chore, it might work for you, give it a go and see

Anyway, whenever I drive with my parents in the car there always yelling at me, speed up, watch out, your gonna crash. They need to realize that I'm already nervous. All there doing is fueling the flame. They've gotten so nervous they haven't even let me drive for about a month now. Thing is i've never crashed and I know I'm not that bad of a driver. They say they expect me to get my liscence next year. I'll be 16. What do I do? (link)
you should talk to your parents and tell them - in a nice way - to back off they need to let you learn to be a good driver, you can't be perfect straight off, you need to learn by making mistakes and you can't do that with them yelling at you and destracting you
hope it all goes well

My wife and I have been married for 7 years. When I met her she was very reserved and shy acting. Our sex life was good but she never wanted to deviate from normal foreplay and intercourse. I had told her that I had 5 sexual partners before I met her (including an ex wife). She never said anything about her past other than having sex at 17 and then having not dated for 3 years prior to when I met her. After we were married she told my brother at a party that during 1 year at college she had sex with 27 guys and that she was proud of it as she had used them for sex. When he told me I was shocked. I married a slut as far as I was concerned. She is very religious and plays the good Baptist part well. I have told her that I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that she had so many partners in such a short time, the average total partners for a wome of 39 is 7. She has had sex with over 35 total partners. I told her that I need some details about why she had sex with so many guys and the details of what happened. She says it is none of my business, but I now just think about all of these guys fucking my wife every which way. We have not had sex for 4 months now and it is driving me nuts. I just can't get excited about her. I wonder were these guys great at sex, did they have bigs dicks did she do things with them that she will not do with me.
What should I do? Am I wrong to have an open conversation about the details of her sex capades? She also says she does not remember any details, yeah right?
She seems happy to not have sex now. Now that she does not have to work and I earn over $300,000 a year. I ask her how she could fuck all those guys who gave her nothing and not me the guy who has given her everything?

Please help.

You shouldn't worry about you wifes previous partners i mean if she thought more of them than she does of you she would be married to one of them, but she's not she obviously thought you were the one for her. She probably doesn't like all the questions about her past because it's the past, she can't change any of it and nither can you. You should talk to her and tell her you need reasurance about how she feels about you and i really don't know much about the sex thing but i hope i helped anyway

can I get pregnant on my period if I'm on birth control? (link)
it's highly unlikely you will


me and my boyfriend have been dating for about 3 weeks. he wanted me to help him with his myspace so he gave me the password and everything and i read his messages and he sent them to this girl jessica. and the other day we were having sex and he was like.. "i should call jessica and say, 'im having sex with kendall'" so now i think he was thinking about her the whole time. and i dont know what to do!
does this mean he wants to be with other girls? (link)
you need to talk to this guy and actually ask him, you need to know what he's like because he could be a player and if he is you need to figue out if you could handel him doing that to you. If you can't then you should find someone a little more mature who's gonna think about you all the time and not other girls.
best of luck

WELL I know this may be kind of wierd but, I like this girl. I met her Online and that's it. We talk everyday and flirt all the time, She's even told me she likes girls also. I told her I had a crush and she wanted to know who it was and I lied to her saying it was my OTHER friend, but it was really her. I feel bad but not at the same time because...I don't know how she'll react. I keep dropping hints and everything but either she doesn't get it or doesn't want to get it. I'm a mess about this..cuz I really do like her. What should I do?? (link)
Just come right out and tell her, ya never know she might like you back

hope it all goes well

When you talk about a play in a paper (for school) do you underline the name or do you put it in italics? Thank you! (link)
either works


ok so i am 13/f and i know girls can be nasty..
i am on a sports team for school and the first day was today.. its a 7th and 8th grade team and there are 3 other 7th graders that are on it that i am close friends with.. butttt there are about 15 8th graders. half of them are wicked nice and i've known them for a whille. but the other half seem to have a problem with me and my friends. truthfully we never did anything to them! i dont even know most of them and have never talked to them! last year they were jealos of our boyfriends, but im single right now anyways. they talk crap about us during practice and they get my bestfriends ex to call us names. i wanna make it through the seasons w/o any cat fights.

thanks ill rate high*xo (link)
those people are stupid, i hate people like that, they are so immature the best thing you can do is hold your head up high, ignore them and know at the end of the day at least your not mean and bitchy. There really isnt anything else you can do because they're just gonna be themselves no matter what anyone says or does.
hope this helps, good luck

alright this might sound immature but this was like 2 years ago ok.. me and lets say bob dated and then i broke up with him and got back together with him like maybe.. 10 times i know I was immature and really didn't know what I wanted then and my family was going through divorce so i was so confused I broke up with him for other guys i thought i liked more.. he thought i cheated on here and all that but really i didn't i just talked to them.. and bout two months ago we got back together he stayed back though and i didn't get to talk to him much and he never calls he always says if she likes me she'll call and i would never call him unless he called me atleast once! he always told people he never trust me from were i did alot of boys bad but i've change since every boy was calling me a ho and all that crap.. well he broke up with me for the first time cause he said he wasn't having any "fun". I loved that boy so much.. I swear.. =P... I think he is immature and doesn't want a "serious relationship" and for some reason I feel guilty like its all my fault for him breaking up with me.. should I be? sorry if it doesn't make since.. I'm jsut trying to get it all out.. (link)
it's not your fault. Your not the immature one, he is. He's not worth wasting your love on if he doesnt trust you and thinks your still the same person as you were. My advice is, you shouldn't bother with this guy and get on with your life so you can meet new people who are gonna love, trust and respect you as you will them
leave him and his immaturity behind,
Hope this helps

i'm really shy and i keep to myself at school, because i lost a lot of friends last year, and now i feel like a big loser. and i'm also fat, so i feel socially retarded. y'know, y'know. but anyways. i have this friend who isn't shy at at all, but she doesn't invite me to her social events anymore 'cause i never knew what to say. i know it sounds dumb, but i can't be myself, because i'm afraid that if i say things people are going to think that i'm dumb, which is probably true. at home i'm just like the people at school, but that's because i'm comfortable.

so suggestions on how to become myself? (link)
It's a really bad feeling knowing who you are but your to shy to let other people see, i had the same problem- still do sometimes - but all you have to do is hang around with your more social friends more and just get into a conversation on something you are interested in and can talk about loads, it soon becomes easier and people will start talking to you more because they know you'll probably have something to say, no matter what it's about.
Trust me you'll come out of your shell
Good luck

hello =) i'm trying to convince my mom to buy me a dog. my friends dog had puppies so he's down to his last puppy =( its a german shepard. if you have any ideas on how to convince my mom to get me a puppy or if you have any dog care websites, i'd appreciate tonz! thank you =) (link)
show your mom that you are responsible and can properly care for an animal by going to your friends and helping out with her pets, you will be able to show your mom your cut out for caring for a pet and it will also show yourself you can handel the responsibility


is it wrong to want to have sex at the age of 13? (link)
no way it's normal to think about sex and want to do it but it depends on if your ready or not to actually have sex


ok, stupid question.

do you think 14 is too young to get your upper ear peirced? my parents say i'm too young for a peircing like that...i don't know why... but i was just wondering if you think so?


i don't know. just wondering. (link)
no way, 14 is like the right age to get it done

call him and talk to him, if you don't have his number maybe someone you know does? or talk to him on AIM or msn or something

good luck


I like a guy at work. His friend also works with us (they've known each other for a while but didn't seem to be too close)and he quit today. I'm afraid that the guy I like will quit too. What are the chances that he quits? (link)
he probably won't, just because his friend has doesnt mean he will, he might like what he's doing and enjoy working with the people he does. If you really want to know you should talk to him a slip into the conversation questions on how he feels about his job and stuff.


hope this helps

My mum and I just had a big argument.. we NEVER fight, but when we do it's pretty bad. Anyway, I told her I hadn't been sleeping lately, like it takes me hours to get to sleep because I'm doing year 12 and I'm very stressed. I have trouble concentrating at school and I'm having difficulty doing my work because of lack of sleep (I get 5 or 6 hours at most, but usually less). I asked her if maybe I could see a doctor or get something at the drugstore to help me sleep, and she got REALLY angry at me, saying it was my fault for not concentrating and that I was selfish and that there's nothing a doctor could give me ever so I just had to deal with it. She also made fun of me and acted like it was no big deal. Well, I know it's nothing serious, but I thought I could just ask her if there's anything I could get. I felt very hurt that she treated me like that when I thought I could rely on her to help me out. Now I'm starting to think that maybe it IS my fault, and she was right.

What do you guys think of this? We haven't spoken since then. Was I really making a big deal over nothing? Is my mum right? She's usually very wise, but I still feel kinda bad she said that to me. Is it really true that there's nothing you can for insomnia?
I will rate. (link)
ok you finding it hard to sleep is hardly your fault. Your right, you should be able to rely on your mum with things like this and if you cant i think you should talk to her about it, she needs to know you feel hurt when she makes fun of you and you should also tell her that you want to get help so you can sleep and consentrate on your work, if she loves you she would take this seriously and would want to help you any way she can

loads of luck
