how do you tease your hair? like without it looking like naughty? wen i do it, it just looks like a huge knot and it doesnt look cute WHAT SO EVER. and my hair is jus so like flat. HELP (link)
I know what you mean, my hair can get so flat sometimes too. :/ I actually just started teasing a few months ago, and I learned by watching youtube videos. Basically, for me I straighten my hair and then, afterwards I take a comb, and backcomb where I want the bump to be. The higher you lift the hair - the higher the bump will be. And then while I'm backcombing I usually hairspray it, it just depends because sometimes I just pull my hair in a pony tail.

It's pretty hard to describe in words. Have you youtubed it? Go to www.youtube.com and type in hair teasing and it's sooo much easier to learn if you're actually watching the process because you can do it along with them.


hiiii my name is . . . welllll it shouldn't matter but i'm 15 years old . female . my boyfriend is 17 and well I want to do "it" with him but i'm very shy and I have lots of debates with myself. like I hate the way vaginas look lol . I don't know what to do if it hurts a lot . I won't be able to look him into his face . that's just how shy I am ! ! ! . & like I feel very insecure about the "odor" or "scent" of my vagina . because I never smelled anyone else's so like I don't know if it's wrong . I already went to the gynechologist (i probably spelled that hecka wrong) . she gave me medicine for bv bacterial somethin . & like I don't want to open my legs to him and get embarrassed :(
so please someone help me with some comforting and truthful words .

Hey. Yeah, well I definitely wouldn't ask him if they smelled or anything like that - or even get into anything about his previous sexual relations with anyone else.

And, I can understand why you are nervous about having sex. Honestly so many girls worry about the same things you do, and just don't say anything. I too, got diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginitis when I was 15 and that was before I lost my virginity and I was so scared that I would smell or something like that. But, it was literally all in my head & when I did have sex at 16, the guy I was with kept telling me I didn't smell hahaha, which sounds so weird but it made me feel way more confident.

Also, I am very shy. When I was younger I was really chubby so I was always so insecure about my body and so nervous that he would hate my boobs or hate my vagina because I just felt so ugly and disgusting. At first I wouldn't have sex unless it were in the dark, or without a shirt on. But, in time I felt more confident and it was a lot easier to have sex without clothes on and in broad day light.

If it makes you feel better, try and have sex in the dark or not in complete light, because it'll make you feel a little bit more comfortable. Since, even though you'll see him it won't be as scary looking at him in the eyes and stuff. And, you won't have to worry about him looking at your vagina & stuff. And, it doesn't hurt that bad. for me, I felt a little pinch and then I bled a little, and continued to bleed that night post sex. Which is normal.

Good luck to you, and you'll be fine! Honestly once you get over having sex for the first time, it'll make you feel so much more confident! Oh, and be safe!

Well I just got mysat scores and on everything I scored an average but in math I scored a 290 and im afraid that if i dont do the test again if not just for math, than the college i want to go to wont accept me, my question is wat do you think?
I really want to go to Spelman but am also looking at vcu and Virginia Union. And if this helps I want to study Pharmacy (link)
I don't know anything about that school. But, have you looked up the university online? Usually it will tell you that for your class rank what your SAT score will be. 290 is a pretty low grade for Math. Did you do well in the Reading section?

I would definitely retake it anyways if I were you. Especially if you have the opportunity to. I don't know what grade you're in. But, I took the SAT my junior year and took a class by senior year to try and get better for the SAT. Thankfully, my score went up drastically. If you have time, go to the counselor's at your school and ask if they have any tutoring or classes available after school that can help with SAT's and stuff. They more then likely will have that option available.

Anyways, I would definitely either check out the school website or call the admissions office at the school and find out what the lowest SAT grade you can get for your classrank. :)


there is this guy i like but i dont know if he likes me, he somtimes has sweaty palms around me, he always gives me a hug, he jokes around with me like grabbing my side, i chatch him staring at me somtimes, he listens to me, he sometimes lets me listen to his ipod, and he asked out the last girl he liked (and got denied) so i dont know if he likes me but is hesitant, or doesnt like me. (link)
From what you've told us here, it sounds like he likes you - but I can't tell you forsure because I'm not him. The number one thing that is pretty common when a guy likes you is that he'll joke around with you and stare at you when you're not looking. I don't know if you're waiting for him to ask you out, but maybe you should go for it? He might be happy just because he's hesitant he might get turned down again like that last chick he asked out. So, that's probably the only reason he's not asking you - he's just super nervous and is trying to learn from his mistakes. Just wait a few more weeks, and see how yalls relationship goes just being "flirting" buddies and then if he doesn't ask you out by then - I would definitely go for it!

Okay The night of Easter Sunday my fiance and I drank a little and had sex that night. the next day i dont remember if it was before or after my car accident but my clit is really sore like feels like someone is just pinching really hard and wont let go. its uncomfortable to sit or stand. feels like i have to go to the bathroom alot but i only go very little. Ill go to the doctors if i have to but i would rather not. (link)
It sounds like a urinary tract infection. Which are very common after having sex. I know how sucky they feel, and trust me - a lot of women have had them so don't feel like it's a weird thing. Anyways, drink a lot a lot a lot of water. This is the first thing you want to do, because it'll help you rid of the infection faster. Also, drink cranberry juice if you can get a hold of some. You can go to the pharmacy and buy UTI medication, that'll help heal it faster! And, lay down and just rest up because standing and sitting around will only make it feel worse.

I'm so sorry :( I feel sorry for you, I hate having UTI's they're like the worst thing EVER! I hope you get well soon!

me n my boyfriend are white and my best friend is black. my boyfriend makes raceist comments and jokes alottt. what can i do?? im never gona leave either of them and i already tell them to stop..? (link)
Does your best friend make racist jokes as well? I don't think that it's right, unless they're just joking around. Either way I would be really pissed if I were you.

I would be more angry though at you, if I were your best friend. Because, she's your best friend and since you and your boyfriend are white, if you don't stick up for her then it's just going to make her feel like crap.

I don't know how severe this actually is though, does it really upset your best friend? If it doesn't then all you can do is tell your boyfriend to stop, if it does - I'd dump him as fast as I could. But that's just me.


So yesterday (Sunday) my boyfriend and I were fooling around. Things got very heated, but there was no actual penetration. Both of us had our underwear off, however, but his penis only made contact with my vagina for a few seconds, when he was massaging my clit with it (not the actual hole). There was no precum at the moment, I had wiped it dry beforehand. I'm wondering if there could have possibly been any remanents on the head of his penis, and if there is any possible way they could have made their way into my actual vagina and gotten me pregnant. Like I said, there was no wetness, and he did not come. I'm just terrified. Please help!! (link)
I can't tell you whether or not you're pregnant. But, from what you've said here - if I were you, I would not be worrying right now. It is possible that it could've gotten into your vagina, but it's highly unlikely - since you wiped it prior. Don't worry about it!


Okay So Today Is Easter Sunday And I Didn NOT Sleep At All Because I Was Talking To A Guy Named Anthony All Night And All Morning On MySpace IM And Yahoo Messenger. It Was For Like...More Than 10 Hours. Even Though We Have Never Gone Out With Eachother,We Tell Eachother We Love Eachother So Much All The Time. Then He Tells Me Something That Left Me Motionless And Breathless. He Told Me That He Wanted To Spend The Rest Of His Life With Me. I Was COMPLETELY Amazed By Him. I Didn't Know What To Say But "Oh" And "Really". And If Anyone In My Family Found Out I Was Engaged At 13 Almost 14 To A Guy That's 15 Almost 16...Then They Would Kill Me! But I Love Him Too Much To Let Him Go. Despite The 13 Mile Difference,I'm Going To See Him. I Love Anthony So Much! Tell Me If I Should Wait Or Go For What I Believe In And For Who I'm In Love With(: (link)
Obviously I think you're too young to even be worrying about something like this. Anyone with a brain would think that as well. I understand that you like this Anthony guy a lot, which is great because you're at the time in your life where hanging out and being with the opposite sex is a lot of fun. When I was 13 too, I would spend all night on the phone with a guy and then do it a few times a week. So, I completely understand how you feel. Obviously you won't be getting married anytime soon, so you can say you're engaged, but that really won't change your relationship with him at all for the next four years. Keep talking to him and see how things go, but I definitely would not advise you to tell your parents, haha.

I had black hair before I bleached it and now my roots are platinum blonde and my hair is an orange color. I'm planning on going to the salon tomorrow, can they do anything to change the color/make it lighter? Should I add highlights to cover up the orange? What should I do? (link)
That's great that you're going to the salon tomorrow! Honestly I can't tell you what they're going to advise you to do, because I'm not a stylist. But, I was in the same situation once, where I got highlights and then went in a swimming pool & my hair turned completely orange. What they did for me, was stripped my hair completely of color and then redid it. You'll have that option to get it colored again, more then likely they won't be able to strip all of the color out - so for it to look good you'll want to color it. It cost me $200, which is way better then it being orange anyways!

Anyways, just go in tomorrow with open ideas and ask their advice. Since they've probably seen this case a gazillion times they'll know exactly what to do - which would be best for you.

Is there any way to find out who is calling from just a number? The same number texts me sometimes and now they're texting me like we know eachother, but I don't know who it is and they won't respond back. I have a big feeling it's an ex-boyfriend. It's really annoying and I just want their identity! Is there someway I can find out a name from a number? (link)
No there isn't. Especially if it's a cell phone number. That always happens to me and I don't want to be like rude to them and ask who it is, so either I *67 my number and call them back, hopefully I'd be able to tell their voice when they pick up or it went to voicemail.

Or, you could do 267-SLYDIAL and when you call it, you'll have to enter the 10 digit telephone number, and it'll take you straight to that person's voicemail, and they won't know that you called them or anything like that. Hopefully they have a voicemail set up so that you can find out who it is.

Otherwise the only thing you can do is google the telephone number & hope that maybe it lists it with the name, which it more then likely won't!

Good luck

can a girl get pregnant if a guy cums in her anal? (link)
Not at all.


Ok im getting a bit annoyed with the girl i once liked... i finnaly got over h er about a week and a bit ago i think but of course theres still some little feeling there for her but anyways..

shes constantly changing her facebook and MSN status to stupid things like "im going to sort this out!" or "I hope that doesnt happen again.."

whenever i ask her what shs on about she allways says oh nothing dont worry, i know its not much of buisness asking her why but kmon!! shes obviosuly just trying to grab attention by putting stupid phrases like that to make people wonder whats wrong with her. whats with her? do you do this??? i dont do this!?!! >_<

thanks for ya help good people (link)
Yes, she's obviously wanting attention and trying to make you talk to her - which you're still doing. The only reason she's doing it is because you're responding to it, so you should stop doing that otherwise you're still going to be annoyed with her. I've never personally done this, but I know girls who have and they do it because they want attention - that's the only reason they do it.

Stop asking her why! and watch she'll seriously over time stop doing it!!

Okay...this will be long.
13/f

It first started one day when I went to my friend Matt's picture section on Myspace. Well...I was looking at a photo and I looked down at the comments... I saw my name mentioned it one...so I read it... apparently it was his sister or friend...I don't know. Well...she was saying all types of mean things about me. She said I was a stalker..( because I liked him...I don't really after all this stuff happend.) that I was ugly that I need to stop calling him( I called him once..and that's it)she was gonna get my number from him and cuss me out... she said she was gonna tell him that he died the next time I would call. She said she was going to beat me up. Well...my friend told her off. Well..I was so mad because why didn't he stick up for me?I didn't know why he didn't delete the comment. Now..all his friends think I am a stalker. It really hurt me.. I cried for an hour. :/

Okay...(just to say it Andrea and matt are in 8th grade...Shalia and I are in 7th) now... that was a few weeks ago.
Now..he has a girl friend named Andrea..and she cussed out my friend Shalia and told her to stay away from Matt...for NO reason!! She told everyone untrue things...saying that Shalia called HER all the things that she called Shalia. Matt told Shalia to shut up and leave andrea alone...she told lies to him. Now...he's making fun of shalia...and I think me to...but he hasn't really acted like it, so i don't know!!..and were getting sick of it. I asked Matt in a myspace message whats up with all this. Now I am waiting to see what he has to say. What do you people think of this?? Like.. I like him...still and I can't believe I still do because he's such a jurk!! He told me I only like him for his looks and thats absolutly not true but he won't believe it I tryed to explain but he just doesn't understand. His girl friend made fun of him..before they went out and I don't thinks he knows that but I am not going to tell him that. So.. we had a dance yesterday...he just sat with Andrea most of the time. Like...when she got up and left him to dance and stuff.my friends told me he was watching me ...dance and everything.( we had a real good time even though they were being betchy...there not gonna bring are mood down) He and his friends were playing...and twisting each others legs..lol I don't know...but I like looked at him he catched me looking at blushed and stopped...lol I don't know if he did or not but...can someone please give me some advice with all this...it's really making me upset . Do you think he has any feelings for me? Sorry it's so long!!!
I'll rate fairly!!

THANKS FOR LISTENING!!! (link)
Hey there!

Well of course from what you said, I honestly can't tell if this Matt guy likes you. He might because he was checking you out while you were dancing and such, but unless he's actually straight-up told you "I like you" then I can't tell you for sure.

I think that Matt seems really immature. The fact that he's knowingly leaving that comment on his picture, when you're supposedly his friend is bad enough. And if I were you I'd definitely make it known to him and say that it hurts your feelings that this chick whoever it may be says these things about you and it's making you look bad. If he doesn't agree to delete the comment then that alone should make you not want to be his friend anymore or like him as a boyfriend.

Also, the fact that Andrea and Matt are ganging up on your friend Shalia is stupid. From what you said Shalia didn't do anything, to be cussed out or to be told to shut up to, Matt and Andrea are obviously trying to start drama.

Anyways, I understand that you like this guy, but unless he's going to be clear with you about how he wants to continue yalls relationship, I would still talk to him but try not to like him anymore. Don't make it known to him that you have feelings for him and just brush him off. Who knows, if you play hard to get then he might like you more.

As far as right now goes, talk to him about that picture comment and ask him to delete it. Tell Andrea you want absolutely nothing to do with her, and get Shalia to tell her that as well. And figure out what's up with Matt and what he wants from you.


My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a month now. I used to enjoy talking to him, and being with him, but recently I went through a period of depression, and I feel that things havn't been the same since I started feeling better. Now we don't talk as much as we used to... I don't even know what to talk to him about anymore, and we rarely see each other (only once or twice in a couple of weeks, even though we live close to each other). I now find it a chore just to be with him, and I don't think I feel anything emotionally for him anymore. I don't think I want to break up with him, but I'm not happy with him anymore. Should I break up with him, even though it wil hurt him and me, or is it possible to fall out of love because of non-communication, and if so, is it possible to fall back in love again?


(link)
It's crazy because I was in the same situation as you are right now. My boyfriend and I were dating for about a year though and I seriously got bored of the relationship. I was bored of it for about six months, but just stayed with him because I didn't want to not have a boyfriend because we literally hung out with each other like everyday. After a few months of us dating though, it seemed like we always talked about the same things or nothing at all and that hanging out with him wasn't as much fun anymore. And I also felt like you do, that it was a chore to hang out with him, something that I had to force myself to do.

Personally, I think you should tell your boyfriend that you need a break. One where you both don't talk for a while and if need be you can call him up in a month or so just to see how he is. The only way you'll find out that you're in love with him is separation. If you can go a month without talking to him and you feel happier without him in your life, then he obviously isn't the right one for you. If you struggle after a while and you still feel things for him, then start seeing each other a few times a month again. You may need to just liven your life up by hanging out with friends or other guys. If you do go on a break and it seems a little hard at first - just ignore those feelings, it will be hard but you have to persevere!

And if you don't have a break right now,then you could possibly be going on in this relationship for a couple more months with both of you being unhappy and then if you break up with him then you'll be hurting him more then you would if you broke up with him now! Good luck to you. And I hope everything works out for the best!!

How do you make out? What do i do with my tongue? What is he going to with his tongue? (link)
Making out is something that just comes naturally. And, I know you're probably like "Well there's got to be some sort of tutorial" there really isn't. Basically you just go in for a peck kiss, and then it turns into opening your mouth and then you like just play with his tounge & he plays with yours. I was so worried when I had my first make-out kiss, because the guy I was doing it with was experienced. But that actually made it a lot easier because I just did what he did. Although - if you do it with someone who hasn't made out before then you both can practice on each other and it won't be as bad because you won't know if yall are doing it wrong. Honestly though it just comes with practice and all you have to do is open your mouth and touch your tounge with his and move it around. It's so much easier after you've done it, you'll know what I mean!


Ok so for one of my classes i have to teach someone to do something. My problem is im a college that lives in a tiny dorm so i dont have much with me.
I was thinking i could mae something... maybe a simple non cook snak or craft?
But ive hit a road bock... any ideas?
I would have access to a kettle, maybe a blender...
and i have the usual craft stuff... glue, sisors, markers, pensils and some other stuff..

Any ideas of what i could tech my class to do?

19/f (link)
I had to do this for my class, and I was a college student as well. I figured since everyone in my class pretty much lived in a dorm & didn't have access to an oven or anything like that, I would make no-bake cookies. And, I also brought a cookie in for everyone afterwards because they're like the best cookies ever. The recipe is all over the internet, and you basically just put them in the fridge to "cook". And it's not too expensive at all.


15/f
i was on google searching for ways for bigger boobs and stuff and now all that history is in google. how do i get rid of it so my parents dont see!
i already clicked the link under the URL(the arrow) and i clicked clear history, but when im still on the website and type it "boob" all my searchings come up!
does anyone know how to get rid of it!?
PLEASE AND THANK YOU! (link)
Hey! Yeah do what everyone else said.

Go into your history, delete everything. Also, if you're using Internet Explorer, on the right hand side of the browser a little bit underneath the X, click tools - Internet options - (under Browsing history) click Delete - Delete all. It'll take a few minutes for it to completely delete everything and it's way easier then going into google and click Delete for everything. If you don't have Internet explorer then just delete everything manually.

:0) & Don't worry everyone at some point in their lives has done what you did & even worse, so don't freak out! If for some reason your parents find out then just blame it on a friend, say that you wanted to see what came up so they typed it.

Good luck!!


Ok im an 18 year old male. I recently met this 22 year old girl, she is turning 23 in like july or something. Im pretty sure she is into me. My question is, is she too old for me to date? (link)
Hey!

I don't think so. I know plenty of girls and guys who prefer dating others who are older, and it's not like a big age difference. What would be worse is if you were like 16 and she was 25 or something like that. Get to know her and see if you like her, just because she's older then you doesn't mean her maturity level is a lot higher then yours. She may be an immature 22 year old or something. Either way you'll never know unless you try it out. Good luck!

Okay, im a 15 year old female, and i happen to be bisexual, i have a girlfriend and we've been together for awhile, and i care about her ALOT. But i am starting to develop feelings for another girl, who happens to be my bestfriend, i know she likes me and my girlfriend and best firend absolutely hate each other. Now my girlfriend is absolutely beautiful, and thats no exaggeration, my best friend is pretty and they both have amazing personalities, but my bestfriend treats me better, but shes so demanding and gets emotional so much and sometimes i feel that my girlfriend doesnt care about me. Yet they both say they are in love with me. So im extremely confused because i need to choose someone. On top of it, i have a guy that likes me alot and is going to ask me out soon. I really like being with him too, he hasnt even tried to sleep with me, he likes to just hold me, and hes funny sweet and caring, but hes also hit me once ? But he felt so bad about it, he wouldnt look at me for 2 days. I really hate leading people on, so how do i choose one? and not hurt the others feelings? (link)
Hey!

That one guy that hit you? Don't give him a chance. Unless it was just a playful hit, don't even get involved with someone like that. It's honestly not worth it & it's the last thing that you need, especially only being 15 years old.

Now, you have to think about this. Is this best friend of yours, worth losing the girlfriend you've been with for a while now? You seriously have to sit down and just put the pros and cons of both girls and see which one you like more. Do you think you could just be bored of your current girlfriend? That's what happens in a lot of relationships is that one person usually wants to break up with the other and go out with someone else because they want change and they're sick of doing the same old stuff.

I'm sure you hate leading people on, just make sure that you choose someone. And, I think that in this situation someone is going to get hurt no matter what. If you break up with your girlfriend and you get with this chick that she hates, I'm sure she's going to be really angry. And, if you don't get with this other girl, she's probably going to be very resentful toward you, but it all goes back to, is it worth it?

It's a hard decision you have to make, and you don't need to make it overnight. Think about it for a few days. Hang out with both girls and see which one makes you the happiest, because that's all you need to worry about!
