Me and my boyfriend were raised very differently. No one in my family smokes, and Ive never wanted or needed to and in the event it would simply not be allowed. My boyfriend's whole family, parents, stepparents, siblings etc all smoke, and he used to smoke himself a few years ago. He still had the occational social cigarretes, but after we've been dating for a while I told him that I dont want him to smoke at all. We have now been together for 2 years and even though he smokes every now and then 'because he cant help it', he is mostly off of smoking because he said he'll try not to. The only problem is that he really wants to smoke. He says he loves it and to his friends it seems ridiculous that I dont let him to do what he wants... I wish I could tell him that Im totally fine with it and he can smoke whenever he wants, but I cant get myself to feel like its okay. I really want him to take care of himself, many of his family members have had cancer and its possible that he is susceptible to it. I hate the smoking lifestyle, I hate how dependent people can be on something that damages themselves, I hate how much money they 'need' to spend on it (and he always complains that he is broke), I hate the smell... etc. And we talk about getting married, but I dont want a smoker's home for myself one day. Do you think this means that we cant have a future together, or must I suck it up?? (link)
Well, straight to the point, the relationship could work. But smoking is not healthy.


my partner and me are not sleeping together were both 17yrs old. (link)
Romance doesn't have to lead to something physical, take it a step at a time.


I was raped a few months ago. I was a virgin and the guy knew that. I just feel so empty and confused all the time now. My parents know and I see a counselor, but nothing really helps this feeling go away. I have a lawyer and they're trying to get something done, but so far nothing because my last detective chose to believe the guys over me. I just don't know how to shake this feeling or move past this. I don't know what to do. Advice? (link)
Hi,

Let me just say, i know where you are coming from. From a personal experience. Nothing helps because no one except you was in that situation and even though people try to understand they could not even come close. I feel like this all the time, when i think about what happened to me in the past. This is not at all easy, but take each day at a time.

So, i really want a boyfriend. I finally found this guy that i like and he likes me too. He's nice, cute, and is very sweet. The only thing is, everytime i start getting close to someone, i start finding things wrong with them. I get scared to hang out with them and always find exuses to not hang out with them. Idk why and its bugging me. I feel like i cant invite them to my house because its boring and there will be nothing to do. We cant go in my room so my parents will be watching us the whole time and its just awkward. Please help. Thank you. (link)
Hi,

Everybody has their flaws. If you really like this guy, isn't he worth the risk ? Take a chance, at least you'll know. Instead, of wondering what if...



i read online, that even though acne medicatons work, the perfumes and stuff in them arent good for your skin. i'm trying to heal my skin, because when i was a freshman i suffered from acne, and i still have some of the dark marks from them. and i want something COMPLETLEY natural, but i still want it to be guaranteed to work for my skin, and to clear and prevent acne. right now i use st. ives apricot scrub, and the queen helene mint julep masque. what can i use to wash my face, tone it, and moisturize it, but tha'ts really naturally and actually healthy? i'd like to reduce the redness in my face, make it have a glow, and also prevent/reduce acne. :)

btw, i have sensitive skin! (link)
How about Aloe vera, Cocoa butter, Tea tree oil, is great for pimples.


When my boyfriend gets mad he gets really really mad. He hits me and has choked me twice before. I don't think he'd actually kill me but he does leave a lot of bruises and I'm really tired of it. I can't talk to him about it because he's just going to get mad. I don't want to leave him because I love him with all my heart and soul. I'm just tired of having to hide bruises and cover them up with make up and clothing all the time when I go out of the house. We live together right now and I just don't know what to do. My friend has seen the bruises and got worried but I told her it's no big deal. It is a big deal. What do I do from here? how can I make my boyfriend stop hitting me? (link)
Hell,

He might have an anger problem. t shows that you love him, you could try talking with him on a mature level and tell him its time he got help from someone and you could be there to support him. He will love you for it in the end.


Woahhh. Well, I have liked this guy for almost a year and a half. We finally start talking. Now, my best friend is like glued to him it seems. I have confronted her about it once. It like of broke our friendship up. And I asked him about it. It might just be me but they flirt ALOT. My boyfriend swears he loves me and my best friend says she doesnt like him. I am sort of stuck in the middle. They past notes and talk more than I think they should. What should I do? How should I react? (link)

Hello,

Well, part of be is saying give them the benefit of the doubt, while, the other part is telling me you should confront them. But since that you have already done that, i would suggest keeping an eye open just in case.


How do you make cleaning fun? (link)
Well, i try to play some uplifting music.


Nobody understands me. Nobody understands how it feels to be all alone like I am. Nobody understands how it feels to feel so lost all of the time. Nobody understands how it feels when nobody cares or loves you. Nobody ever listens to me when I tell them these things and I feel like I'm such a hopeless cause in the world and like I'm just taking up space. I'm not happy. I don't fit in with anyone.

I don't want to live any more and have decided to kill myself. I want to commit suicide soon. What are the quickest ways to commit suicide? Preferably I want to do this at home for ease. (link)
Hello,

Everybody goes through a stage, where they don't want to live anymore. Life isn't always smooth all the time you'll will definately have some cross roads. Suicide isn't the answer. Maybe you have a void in your life, that needs to be filled. I would suggest you talking to someone, please don't tell the person that you don't fit in or nobody understands you. Everybody is different before people are friends they don't know anything about anybody so its a growing process.

Take it easy.


I'm 25 and I've never had my first kiss with a guy yet. It never did bother me until recently when my friend found out and she was pretty shocked. I'm a pretty girl and take care of my body but I guess I'm just not a "people person" and haven't seriously dated or been seriously interested in someone. Is something wrong with me? (link)
Hello,

Well, maybe you have not found the right person yet. There is nothing wrong with you. You just like to take things slow and you probably want to build a relationship that isn't about been physical way to an extent. Take it easy. You will know when the time is right. But for now take it easy.

Bye.
