What are bath salts drugs? bathsalts, like body scrub, salt? Or is the drug something different?

Are the "Bath Salts" that the man snorted in Miami an actual type of a drug all its own (and calling them "Bath Salts" is just a street name)... or did this man just grab actual bath salts (the substance you pour in a bath to make the water and your skin softer) and snort them? (link)
I heard about this story, and this part confused me at first. The guy was doing different strands of LSD, and the term "bath salts" is a street name. But my science teacher also explained to us that there is a chemical within actual bath salts that is in LSD or whatever other drugs he was taking. We did not quite get the name of it, but that's what we were told. And this drug makes people act all animalistic and have super human strength. This is a very freaky story, show what kind of crazy world we live in.

Hope I could help. :) xo


ok so the talent show is going on and i need ideas!!quick!! (link)
Make a list of things you are good at, and then choose one.

Singing, a dance routine, maybe you do karate and want to show off your moves... You can do gymnastics if you know how. Ventrilaquist?? Just make a list of talents that you have and can actually do something with. Then choose one you think would be good. Simple.

Hope I could help. Good luck! :) x


I used to date a guy and then we broke up, I was devastated 4 wks, I deleted everything about him pictures, his phone number bcos he said he couldn't stay friends with me. we haven't talkd in 2 months... And 2days ago this guy called me, but I was not there to pick up the phone and I didn't know it was him bcos I didn't have his no on my phone anymore, and I sent a msg "pls who is dis" and he didn't reply, he called the nxt day and d same hapnd... So I went tru ma cuzn phone and saw his no and I compared it 2 d no which cals me and I know its him now and I feel bad dat I always kept sayin who is this.... What should I do, I still luv dis guy and I want to text him but I don't know what to say... (link)
For starters, your typing is horendous. Makes it hard for people to follow.

So basically you love this guy and you don't know what to say to him?

I don't know why you feel bad for sending him "pls who is dis." You didn't know it was him, so what's the big deal? I don't know why he called, but maybe he want to be friends. Who knows, maybe he still has feelings for you. Just ask him why he called. Maybe ask if he still wants to be friends, etc.

Just tell him how you feel. Hope I could help. Good luck! :) x


My boyfriend and I are both 16 and want to go out more. Except he is 100% deaf. So movies are out( no captions). Any great date ideas. We already spent last night learning how to sign umm....... Dirtier stuff. Any good ideas? (link)
Considering deaf people would rely on their other senses, think of places that would allow him to use those to the fullest.

Going on a hike or a walk would be nice. Somehwere with tress and flowers, or a nice grassy park would be a great idea. Maybe you could go to a nice park and have a picnic is also another idea. Just treat him like a normal guy. I understand movies aren't an option but there are many othe great ideas. Things like swimming, the beach etc.

Hope I could help. Good luck! :) x



Okay so I'm 16/F and a junior. My boyfriend is 18/M senior. We've been dating since halfway through the summer before my freshman year. Ever since we've been together we've always been crazy. We both drink and party and he smokes (pot) occasionally but usually not. However, it's different now. He is an extremely baseball player and has a scholarship at a D-1 college. He has chosen not to drink or smoke or party because he can't risk getting caught and ruining his chances at the college hes playing at. And I have definitely cut back too. But I still wanna party, for like, the social part. I definitely don't get smashed anymore but I do drink when I go out (I also have a sober ride and friends with me). But lately my boyfriend has been getting mad at me. He says he doesn't feel comfortable with me going out without him by my side (I guess I never have done that before) but I can take care of myself and control myself. He says he doesn't like it cause he's worried some guy is gonna get me extra drunk and "take advantage of me". Being 5"5 and a 100 lbs it doesn't take much to get my hammered but like I said, I haven't gone past tipsy and mildly drunk for a long time. And I don't go out often, most of the time I'm hanging out with and it's not like there's a party every weekend. I'd say it's only once a month or two months. I think it's mayb him just missing being able to get crazy and what not... But I don't know. We fight about it a lot but it's the only thing wrong with us. I really love him and we both see us lasting a long time but I'm not doing anything that affects him and I like going out with my friends! What should I do?? (link)
I understand your point of view, as well as your boyfriends's. We all want to be able to go out and have fun, and as you said it's not often you go out and party. Your boyfriend is just being protective. Given your size and weight is is very easy to be taken advantage of in a situation where you aren't completley aware. He's looking out for you like a good boyfriend should.

What I would suggest to do is talk to him. It might be hard, but try to let him no it's not often and you'll call him when out, whatever it may be. I think he is making the right choice to put the party days behind him, and to be honest, I don't think he misses it.

Just talk, that's all you can do. Let him know. Maybe go out with a friend you both trust a lot...?

Hope I could help. Good luck :)


Ok so in school I met this guy and I love him but I don't know what to do because he is deaf. I really like him and I think he likes me. But we are in high school which makes everything hard. What to do????
He cares about me and keeps me safe and is just so nice. This one guy called me a B**** and he MADE him apologize. 
He is the best. He also accidentally brused my wrist and apologized like a trillion times.  But what to do next ? Oh he also got a heartless necklace( the same as my tatoo) and wears it every day. I am already fluent in ASL and just need to know what to do. But does he even like me????? (link)
For starters I don't know what you mean by love. There is love "I love pizza", and there is love where youa actually LOVE somebody. If you are using the term in the second example then please re-think that. I don't think you've actually experienced love yet.

So it sounds to me like this guy mean a lot to you. From the examples you provided, he is sweet and nice and very protective of you. It sounds like her could possibly like you. It sounds like he does. This is a little lore than your average flirting and what not. Just continue what you guys have and everything should fall into place.

I'm not quite sure why you added in the deaf thing really.

Hope I could help and good luck :) x


So I am a vegetarian 15f and I have been one for awhile but I need to know what foods besides eggs and nuts are high in iron and protein? (link)
It's your lucky day! I am also a 15 year female that happens to be a vegetarian.

Spinach is high in protein, most vegetables are. Like leafy greens. Peanutbutter, of course nuts, eggs, beans are a good one too.

I would just say try a variety of different vegetables. Basically all of them are rich in iron and protein. And you can look for online recipes that combine a bunch of them together.

There are also soy chunks and tofu which are like meat chunks, only for vegetarians. You can add them to almost any dish and they provide protein. And don't worry, it tastes good.

Hope I could help. Good luck :) x


16/female

Okay so I honestly think there is something wrong with me. When it comes to guys, I think I'm messed up in the head. I'm attracted to guys who treat me like dirt. I somehow fall so hard for guys that never give two shits about me. My first boyfriend basically used me for eight months and physically forced me to give him head and tried to rape me. After him, you'd think I'd look for a nice, good boy but I had one and I just could t get myself to feel anything for him. He wasn't possessive or overprotective or jealous which should be good but I felt like I missed it... Now, this guy that I've been best friends with for years and I have started hooking up and he is absolutely awful to me. He used to be my rock, and tell me how I deserve better than what I gave myself. He even punched my ex after he slapped me. But now he's the one that pushes me around. He basically only wants me around to hook up. Hes extremely aggressive with me, almost violent. And he calls me awful names and tells me I'm worthless, weak, tiny and helpless and stupid and yet I go back to him all the time. I'm so sick of being pushed around and yet I'm addicted to it in a sick way. I don't know what to do and its tearing me apart. I feel so horrible about myself around these kind of guys but I feel so miserable without them. I don't know what to do. Why do I only like guys who are mean and abusive?? Please help me! (link)
I'm not quite sure what that psychological reasoning is for this, but something is not right here.

In some cases being in certain situations makes it kind of "all you know". So therefore since that's all you know, you go back to that. Like for an example, someone who has been kidnapped for a long time, given the chance to escape they might not take it. It's all they know, and maybe they feel like they deserve the pain.

In your case it might be all you know. You've never had that loving boyfriend, so you go back to the bad ones. Maybe you feel that you deserve all the name calling an abuse. I can't tell you for sure. However, no one deserves what you've been going through. If you can't make the decision yourself to find the right guys, get some help. Talk to people. Somethinge needs to be done.

Hope I could help. And good luck :) x


Whenever my boyfriend is stressed out, I make sure I am there for him 100% and I always talk to him to calm him down and offer to help. This usually happens when he's stressed over work or homework. Basically I'm really verbally involved and supportive. Whenever I get stressed, over homework or just for whatever reason at the time, he often just doesn't support me the same as I do, and that frustrates me so much because I'm looking for the same from him that I give him. Am I over reacting? A lot of times he gets silent and says, what would you like me to do? I dont know if I am wrong or not. 20/f (link)
Personally, I don't think you're over reacting. All you are looking for is the same compassion as you give him when he is stressed, and there is nothing wrong with that. It would be great if he offered the same kind of support you give him. You could possibly talk to him about how it makes you feel. Maybe you guys can come to a solution. If not, than you must learn how to deal with your stress on your own. It may seem difficult sometimes, but he is won't support you, you have to support yourself. I hope I could help. Good luck :)


I really want a boyfriend!! A lot of people I know have a boyfriend and I don't. I have heard someone say,"Just flirt." I don't want to though!! Please help me!

*h3rmioneg* (link)
Personally, I understand that urge to have a boyfriend! Trust me, I've been through it. But you need to remember that the time will come and you just need to be patient. I know it can be hard, but you have to. There is no exact way to just get a boyfriend, but maybe get closer to a guy you like. Take it easy, and maybe things will start to fall into place. The last thing you want to do is seem really desperate. If there is a guy you like now, ask him out. The worst thing that can happen is getting a "no". So explore those options and just be patient. It's the best you can do. Hope I could help :) Good luck.


My bf's birthday is coming up and I want to get him a scent that will just make me want cuddle up next to him or jump his bones lol like the sort of scent worthy of spraying on my pillow or on tshirts that I wear around the house to remind me of him. He's in his early 30s and I have no idea what kind of scents I like on guys so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! (link)
I don't know a lot of cologne names, brands, or smells, but one that does smell good is musk. It is a great smell, and very different from most kinds.

My advice to you would be to shop around. You want one that will make you wanna cuddle up with him, and spray around to remind you of him, so you need to make sure you find one you would like too. If you haven't already done so, I would ask him if he has a certain type of cologne or scent he likes. Maybe he'll point you in the right direction. If he hasn't given you any help, or you want to keep it a secret, then I could on suggest to look around. Smell different kinds, and find one that you think would be reall sexy on him, but you could also enjoy it too.

Good luck, and I hope I helped! :)


Like the title says I'm a highschool student blah blah blah... and I was curious if anyone knows of any common strategies that I could practice with on my friendswas problems.

I've always liked helping friends and people who aren't hateful and stupid(as a side note Idk why I added this really ) (link)
Well if you are looking to be a therapist, I suggest maybe taking some psychology/social science courses if they are available at your school. These will help you train and prepare for a job that works with people. Eg. Therapist, pyschologist etc. If you take any of these courses, you will be able to open up to a variety of things pertaining to counseling, therapy etc. Who knows, maybe after taking classes like these, you may want to do something bigger than a therapist! :)

To practice this sort of stuff with your friends, you have to be interested and aware of their problems. If they say certain things like "My life sucks", or "not having a good day", or "I'm pissed", then this should be your chance to ask what's wrong, and get them to open up to you. Then simply provide very good, well thought out advice.

Side note: I want to get into the psychology field, and I am taking courses, and also help out my friends a lot. My bff has a lot of problems (suicid, depression, love issues etc.) And I am able to help her in every single one. Helping her make decisions, and realize her self-worth.

I hope this answer could help :)



Ok so Im 13/f and my first period happened at the end of Septemeber. I waited for the next one with the date on my white board in my room but it never came so i decided maybe it would be late so i marked down the next one after that and nothing came. When i had my period in September, it never turned red, it was like brown (like i pooped my pants). So i decided that maybe the first one wasnt a period and moved on. In December, I got my period again. It sayed the same poop brown colour and never changed to red. After it was over, nothing happened in January or February yet. So my friends say Im lucky that I only get my period every 3 months but Im kinda scared. I told my mom but she didnt say anything. Im definately NOT going to a doctor to get it checked out, that would be awkward. But I have something in my undies (doesnt look like discharge) and its kinda slimy and sticky. (I have had the weird stuff since I was 11). I dont know what to do, any advice? (link)
First off, let me start by saying that the brown stuff is what usually happens near the beginning and ending of your periods. Sometimes that's all you may receive as your period, depending on your body.So there is nothing to worry about there.

Secondly, I know you're suppose to get your period every month, but some periods are irregluar, and that's perfectly normal. It could be from stress, etc. I wouldn't worry as much about that, but it's still something to look into.

And about that "slimy, sticky discharge", it would have been helpful if you included a description of it. Maybe colour? You could check online for what different types of discharge mean. But if you don't think it's discharge, and you can't find internet solutions,then you really need to notify your mom, and make sure she listens.

Going to the doctor about these problems can be embarassing, but it's better to be safe then sorry.


y do people try to stop people when they want to die? its probably for a good reason that they do not want to live anymore
(link)
Not to sound rude, but this is a very uneducated question.

People stop other from commiting suicide out of love. No one enjoys loved ones dying, especially from something like suicide. As suffering from a train of suicidal contemplation and attempts, I can feel others pain. The reason why I thought about doing it was not because someone broke up with me, or something stupid, it was a very serious matter. Anyways, before I go off topic, think about it. Not everyone has a "good" reason for suicide, and people help other because they love and care about them. They want them remaining on the earth.


so im 15/f shes 15/f,
im good friends with this girl Alasia and she is bi-sexual. We have messed around before (mostly her to me) and i have been craving it for a while now again. Ill be visiting her vbery soon and id like some ways to try and get her to do it again.
I am bi-curious i dont consider myself bi, but i dont mind messing around with people of the same sex.
I do have a boyfriend, but he doesnt mind. Id also like way to arouse her and get around that point too.
please the quicker the better!
thanks--Olie (link)
If you want to arouse her, do things that you would like to be done to yourself. Think about what turns you on, and maybe it could be the same for her.

Try things like: Kissing, caressing body/boobs/private area, touching over a girls body in certain places lightly gets them excited, kissing the neck, while kissing light bite her lower lip, touch her ass, run your hands slowly under her shirt etc. And these are just some ways you can arouse her.

If you really can't get her to be aroused, don't be afraid to ask her what you can do to arouse her.

Hope I could help! Good luck! :)


I like to masturbate in the car while my parents go into a store to buy something I'm 13 and a boy I really like to do this of anybody does this or has seen people do this please reply (link)
I personally have never been in this situation, but I'm more than sure others have masturbated in a car before.

Masturbation as we all know is completley normal. I wouldn't suggest doing it in a car, but somepleace private when you're not out. Like a bedroom or bathroom. You would have access to wash your hands after you're donw, and it would decrease the chances of someone seeing you "in the act".

So as it is perfectly normal, I wouldn't suggest to do it often.

Hope I could help! :)


I've been going out with my boyfriend for a month and he wants to finger me. I'm going to let him, but i don't know what to do before he starts fingering me or whilst he's fingering me. And what feels best? I'm nearly 14 (link)
First off, I'd like to take notice of 3 points. You are nearly 14, you've been dating this guy for 1 month, and he wants to finger you. Now that we have the 3 main points, let me provide this advice.

First of all, you are barely 14. Obviously you do not have enough knoweledge about things like this, but yet you are still going to allow him to finger you. Making it worse, 1 month isn't a very long time either. I don't know why, but it seems like things are being rushed. Remember, you have plenty of time for this kind of stuff. I could give you plenty of advice, but overall it is your decision, and you're going to choose what you wanna do.

I suggest you have a shower before he does this, and wash "down there" good. The last thing you need is an embarrassing odor. You don't have to do anything while it happens. Just sit back and let him do what he's doing...

Hope I could help, and good luck! :)


im 12 and i feel like pain is my only friend i feel like shit am treeted like crap i have tryed running away and i got coght atemmted 3 types of suicide never cought doing that but whats wrong with me but if i dont figure out soon i will kill myself everyone will be happyr (link)
First off let me start by saying that a lot of pre-teens/teens have felt this way before, ever me.

This is a stage where you feel like you have nothing else to live for, but in reality, you do. You are feeing unloved, and everyone can feel that way sometimes. You need to realize that killing yourself is not the answer to temporary problems. You are cutting yourself off from loved ones, and I'm sure people would be hurting more than you are now.

Please don't inflict pain on yourself. It is not right. If you need someome to talk to call a suicide hotline number or talk to a trusted friend or adult.

Trust me. You think this is the only solution t your problem, but it's definetly not. Please be safe and find someone to give you further help. God bless, and hope I could help... xxx


I started my birth control again, in December. I had sex,(unprotected) that whole month. I was suppose to start my period on Christmas..but nothing came. I had one spot of red/brown color on my underwear. Now I'm having cramps, and lower back pain, I'm tired all the time, and my breasts are larger and hurt really bad. Do you think it's possible I'm pregnant? (link)
My advice would be to take a pregnancy test as soon as possible. If you are still not sure, talk to your doctor. There are many symptoms that can be mistaken for pregnancy, and some signs you might overlook. Either way, asking an advice group for an answer won't help you. We cannot tell if you are pregnant or not. Take a test or ask your doctor. Hope I could help, good luck :)


Can you get pregnant with without a guy just urself? (link)
If you are referring to "without a guy" meaning not having sexual intercourse with a guy, then you could possibly get a sperm doner. But you can't impregnate yourslef. You need a sperm, and an egg... Hope I could help :)
