HI. im a teen and i get pimples like most people. i use proactive but if i use anything else, my face becomes really dry and starts to flake. i get more pimples around "my time". im a teen so i dont like pimples, especially in high school. i am going to the dermatologist in about 2 weeks for the first time.i sometimes get them on my neck to, sometimes. i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what to do or anything i should know about what to expect when i go to the dermatologist. or any solutions until then. thank you who ever can help me!
Proactive works as long as you keep it up. Don't use other products if it doesn't help you. I've been there. Proactive actually dried out my skin so I had to use moisturizer and somehow my skin got oily. it seems like once you stop using proactive, you skin gets worse and dry. A dermatologist will help you. I'm sure you will get some medication you put on over night.
I had a mild form of acne and I tried everything. If you leave your skin be and give it some time.. use something gentle as soap .. it may actually help your skin. I also stopped drinking soda and my skin improved so much. Eating healthier is good too. If you have oily hair, then use some baby powder to soak up the oils..
So many little things caused my skin to break out. Do you notice anything you do? Do you touch your face a lot? Do you sleep with your hand near your face and do you wash your pillowcase 1-2 times a week?
I eventually stoppped using products all together because my skin was too sensitive and it got better on it's own.
The birth control pill really does help tho. It clears up your face in time. When you reach nearly a year of use, your skin should be under control and you won't break out as much during that TOTM.

Okay over the weekend our school had this caraval, and me and my friends all met there & hung out. But while we were having fun a classmate of mine wasn't. You see me and her arn't really friends or anything but she's Bff's with my best friend Josh. So after the carnavil. She & Josh were talking, while the rest of us piged out on leftovers. But when josh got back he pulled me aside and said this:
"meg i HAVE to tell you something but i can't. ...Okay if you promise not to tell ANYONE I'll tell you" so I promised" And he said "okay well You know how I was talking to Chelsea (aka classmate) well she told me during the carnivall She got RAPED! She was crying and everything she said it was by some eight grader and he ripper her shirt off an started teasing her boobs, but her dad stoped him. BUT her dad won't beleive her and now she's in BIG trouble. BUT she made me SWEAR not to tell anyone so what do I do?" he told me all that. Should I tell someone or what?
You should slip a note .. if you can find out that boy's name... and only mention that boy's name for sexual harassment and give it to the office. touching her boobs is not really rape..

my fish was hanging around the bottom of the bowl today. he doesnt look too good. his eyes are sort of bulged. he is completely off. I put in food and it did flips and got all spazzy. then went to the bottom of the bowl and stayed motionless. do you think he'll die? :( . i havent changed the bowl in a while. will that cure him? hes a year old carnival goldfish. any informations good. thankkkssss
Change the water 1-2 times a week. I had 3 goldfish die quickly because no one would help me clean it. If the water changes color slightly, you need to change it. It's not healthy for fish to swim in their own poo XD Because they will end up eating it and getting sick.

I am a 17 year old girl who has lost 10 pounds in the past month. I am obsessed with weight, and I really want to lost 10 more pounds. I was never overweight, but it is just that I want to be thinner.
For breakfast, I have a few bites of applesauce. I skip lunch whenever I can. I eat a normal size dinner, though less than I did before I started this. I try hard not to eat dessert, and I only eat it so that my parents won't suspect anything. Right after that I chew sugarfree gum so I don't eat anything. I also drink a lot of water.
I count calories a lot, and my goal is definitely no more than 1000 calories a day, although I usually try for 800. I exercise a lot, burning between 250 and 400 calories per school day.
After school, I am more tired than usual, and I sometimes feel a little weak in my legs when I walk down the stairs.
This probably isn't an eating disorder, but could it develop into one?
It already sounds like an eating disorder.
"...my parents won't suspect anything." this line makes your eating habits a secret. but believe me, your parents notice this. they probably won't say anything unless it gets worse. you could simply do a diet or fix your habits rather than under eating. If your BMI is fine, then it's best not to become thinner because you'll only be making yourself sick.
You can have a diet, you can have the goals but it's turning into something extreme.
Drink a lot of water, eat only 3 meals a day and work out. You don't need to eat a whole plate covered with food because drinking water will make you feel full. If you aren't already, take a daily multivitamin if you decide to skip one meal. You should probably eat more fruits in the morning so you'll have energy later.
If these habits continue, you'll end up in the hospital with a feeding tube.. My friend is forced to eat under supervision. I know that probably won't help you.

When you get your cherry popped, is it true that you can't feel it pop sometimes? Ex: Playing sports.
I don't understand why people think it "pops"?
The hymen stretches. You're either born with a hymen or not. You could have an accident while playing sports or out horseback riding. That might "break" your hymen but I'm sure you'll feel sore if you had an accident that had hit you there.. but you never know for sure.
You'll have to go to a gyno to see.
[view]
If you don't have sex at all, can you tell if your "Cherry" popped? or is it like, you never really know when it did. Again, if you HAVE NOT had sex. or is it like, it seems like a period? I'm just a little confused is all.
You can't tell if your hymen is 'broken' unless you go to a gyno. Obviously sex isn't the only reason why it could break, it could have been sports or an accident with a bike.
It really depends on the girl. I didn't bleed, some girls bleed very little to something as a light as a period.

My boyfriend and I dry hump a lot with our clothes on...at the beginning he would always ejaculate very early..and then he decided that he would listen to take his mind off of ejaculating. Then he moved off of music and he can now control his ejaculation. My question now is lately we have been dry humping and well he gets tired and then his penis goes down...i'm wondering is this me? Am I turning him off? Is there anything we can do? Or I can do? Does he not think I'm attractive? I'm really worried and I don't know what to do. Please help me!
It's nothing about not being attractive or whatever.
If he ejaculated early and then he decided to take his mind off of it.. obviously it's either going to delay or stop it completely. it may not be easy for him to keep going without ejaculating. he may get tired and go limp.

My boyfriend's friend says That my bf's
Really loud and obnoxious with his friends
But quiet around me. is this good or bad?
i don't see how it's bad.
that's usually how some guys are. they might be obnoxious and loud with their friends but not around you, because he likes you. He doesn't want to look 'stupid or obnoxious" in front of you. If he's quiet or shy around you, then he must really like you. Just make him feel more comfortable around you or give it some time for him to open up.
I guess it depends on how you are when you're with him. If you're quiet too then it's probably awkward?

Okay so I have a boyfriend who recently hit his mom..Okay more like bruised it up.. and he might be heading for boot camp this summer. and he threw a plazma Big screen tv at his 12 yr, brother.
he says his brother was throwing a chair at him though. few months ago he got sent to his dads cause he did somehting wrong then him and his dad got in a fist fight.. he says he "Beat the s*** out of him" which isnt all that good sense he got searched, hand cuffed and taken down to the police station.. should i be worried? hes not abbusive right? just a temper?
My boyfriend is bi-polar, his temper is horrible but he has never hit his own family or anything like that. It's obvious he's abusive. He has hit his mother and used objects to hurt his brother.. If he hit his mom, I'm sure he wouldn't have any problem hurting you. He would probably try pulling off that "it's just my temper" excuse. I'm sure he's a nice guy to you but I have a feeling, if you made him extremely angry, he might take it out on you.

last night april 5th, my boyfriend was fingering me, not actually in the hole, and im so afraid that i might be pregnant. I was stroking his penis and i felt wet stuff coming out if it, but im not sure if it was sperm. and i asked him if he touched himself and then touched me and if there was something on his hands, but he says his positive he didnt have anything on his hands and its fine. im supposed to get my period sometime this week. they vary between 20- even about 30 days and im on day 26. im just reallyyyy scared. im screwed if im pregnant. please answerrr. im just so scared.
Pre cum could have sperm in it. Only if he jacked off before and didn't urinate. It's really rare to get pregnant that way. Make sure you're the only one touching him and if he does touch himself, make sure he goes and washes his hands after. Don't think too much about this, it will only delay your period. It's probably best to get on the pill. Just say your period lasts too long and that it's heavy.. and you get bad cramps or something.

i have a disection coming up and i have a reealllyyyyy weak stomach! Im so scared that im gunna like throw up or something..
Is there any tips on how to overcome this???
(please dont say like "skip it" or something like that, and also we're not allowed to do a computer disection)
Thanks:)
Let the teacher know how you feel. Usually when you dissect, you work in partners. I've done about 4 of them so far. It's not really bad. It's actually rather interesting to get to look at everything. Breathe through your mouth if you have to. The chemicals they put into the frog to preserve it, isn't a great smell.
Carry saltine crackers with you and if you don't feel well.. Ask the teacher if you could get some air and eat a couple of the crackers.

will permanent dye fade or come out if you are in pool chlorine a lot? i died my hair in semi permanent dye that stays for a month and i went swimming the day after and it all came out...?
Yes it will. Chlorine damages/alters the color and so does salt water. Blonde turns green, red turns orange & black/brown is altered slightly depending on how long you were swimming. So wait a couple of days before you go swimming. If you must, then put your hair up and don't go under the water.

so yesterday me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time, and i know im probably being really paranoid, but we did use a condom and it didnt break. he didnt come but im pretty sure he like precummed or whatever. is there ANY way that i could be pregnant?
I doubt you are pregnant. Just continue using condoms and after every use check for holes. Pour some water into the condom and gently squeeze for any leaks. Otherwise, you should be protected. If you miss a period, then it's a problem. Either you're irregular, stressing out or pregnant. Just give it some time and then take a test when necessary. I've been having sex for over 8 months with condom use and -almost perfect use- birth control and I haven't been pregnant once. Make sure you are aware of everything before having sex again so you don't worry about the little things.

When I was younger I shaved my vagina hair..It got all itchy and whatever, was it supposed to be? I want to shave it again but im scared that it will itch again and i cant just randomly itch it in school..Thanks for your advice in advance,
Gina
it's normal to be itchy. if it really bothers you.. try a lotion. if it makes it worse.. then take allergy medicine. best thing to work so far.

well, i've been with my boyfriend for about 11 months. and the thing is, i'm not sure how i feel at the moment. i KNOW i can do better, because he treats me bad at times, and he gets too overly paranoid. he gets paranoid by saying that i can't talk to guys. -___-" and he got mad at me for going to target after school with my friend, which is a girl. because he says that there are probably guys there... but anywho.. i seem to be annoyed with him often also. but yet when something happens that could possibly break us up.. that's when i start getting scared.. but i don't do anything about it. i don't get as scared as i used to.. but i still get scared and nervous. when he used to say "never let me go" i feel touched and stuff, and he said that to me today, i didn't feel anything.. i just changed the subject. So, what's going on? am i losing feelings for him? am i not getting enough sleep or something? or am i just annoyed with him at the moment..?
what should i do? please & thank you!
You probably are losing feelings for him slowly by the way he's been treating you. No one should limit you by telling you cannot do this or that. He sounds insecure maybe it's just him, past relationships, or whatever. But you have been together for nearly a year now.. he should be able to trust you. You could either try talking to him about this.
Why can't you talk to guys anyway? He should know that you are with him and that those guys are just friends. You really need communication and trust in a relationship. You don't want someone to control your every move. You should try talking to him before doing anything and if he doesn't make any effort.. then you shouldn't stay in a relationship like that.
Since it's been nearly a year of being together.. you have grown attached to him so which is why it scares you when you think about breaking up. I've stayed in a relationship for almost 2 years and it was horrible. because when you or him do end it, you won't have many friends sticking around to help you go through it.. due to the constant "don't do this, don't hang out with them, don't talk to him, blah blah!"

ok.. me and my boyfriend are both virgins right..
and we want to be able 2 have a condom around JUST INCASE yah know..
and we are both 2 afraid 2 go 2 our parents cuz they would FLIP OUT!!! but we are not sure of what the legal age of buying condoms in texas is..
can anyone help me me out without criticizeing me on the subject??
There's no legal age that I'm aware of. By now, since many young teens are having sex... something would have been brought up already. Also it would be a bad idea to have a legal age because that won't stop teenagers from having sex. Condoms are sold in many grocery and corner stores. It's out in the open for anyone to take and there's no sign stating you have to be a certain age to purchase them.
Trojan is a good brand. It's about $5 for a pack of 3. The larger packs are about $12 for 12 OR 18 depending on the type you want.

k, well i know fingering is not sex but i didnt know what catergory to put it under.
but anyways, i heard that the first time you get fingered you bleed. is this true? also if it is, is there anything i can do to "it" so i don't bleed the first time i get fingered, because i know i'm ready for it but i just don't want the akwardness of him having blood all over his hands or whatever.
thanks.
There's a chance you'll bleed but you probably already got your hymen broken by sports or something. If you do bleed, it won't be a lot. It should be little to nothing, but when it comes to sex... Who knows how much you will bleed. I didn't bleed for either but it's different for everyone. Just tell him to take it slow and be gentle, and only start with one finger so he doesn't hurt you. Make sure his nails are trimmed though so he doesn't scratch/tear you inside :c

I like this guy who is shy when it comes to girls and weve been friends forever but hes like this all of a sudden. he thinks im scary but im just not your average girl i like the gothica lifestyle. He crushed me made me fall to a million pieces and didn’t realize a thing. He comes back from vacation the last week end of spring break what can I do. I need to do something we went so long with nothing. What can I do or say ? ANYTHING will help :( im 14 and his 14 bdays in a few days this is just ruining me i have to do ANYthing pweeeese
What did you change about yourself though? If he suddenly changed and thinks you are scary.. you probably did something very different or he was waiting to speak out. I like dark things too but if you're wearing extreme makeup and are covered in chains and black, it doesn't make you look friendly. If that's not it, and it's just your interest in it or your way of thinking.. maybe it does scare him. It probably just doesn't interest him at all or something.
You have to open up to him. Talk to him about how you feel and ask him why he views you as scary. It's best if you talk first before trying to make any plans with him. I really don't know your situation but buy him a present and see if he has any bday plans. If you got him something, then I'm sure he would want to see you. But whatever you did that made him think that way, tone it down possibly?

aright well i was wondering why most guys think it's weird if a girl has big nipples? also i was wondering what size nipples are considered to be big?
most guys don't think it's weird.
it's boobs.
they like it either way.
i think nipples are big when they cover most of the breast, yes?

idk why but i was bored and came up with future baby names even tho im 14. i know its really early but what do you think of these names so far? and any sugestions to add to make the name better or anything?
GIRLS:
-Roxanne Rae (i like Roxanne cuz i could get the girl "roxy" clothes from pacsun and it sounds all firey and stuff. i'd prefer a better middle name than Rae though.. and please dont say a name like "marie" oh lord.)
-Cameron Jade (what do you think? ive always liked cameron, and jade's one of my fave types of green
BOYS:
-Julian Antione (Antione sounds alot better than Antonie(sp?) IMO. and the Julian part is from "Julian Casablancas" from the strokes..)
-Jamie Alexander (Jamie is my favorite boy name ever. and its the name of Jamie Cook, this really cute guy from the Arctic Monkeys band. and I've always liked Alex and Alexander)
THANKS!
and sorry if i wrote anything wrong or whatever but im HELLA Tired right now! ahha
You have to remember that your kid might get jokes about their name especially if it's a known name from any sort of media.
I actually like Rae, Jade and Antione as a first name. Roxanne seems like an 80s name, not that it's bad.
The names are nice but all of them look like first names, you know? Maybe it's just me because I know people with all those names, just not Antione.
I'll just buy a baby names book and highlight the names you like and keep a little bookmark in it. So you have more options.
