I'm 14/f and I'm a freshmen at my school. I have this one class with a guy name-let's call him- Bob. Well, Bob is a senior I believe and I think he likes me but I'm not sure. I don't sit anywhere near him because we have assigned seats and so we can't really talk in class. But when we went on a little "field trip" with the class, or we had a little spare time in class, we talked just a little. I catch him staring at me from across the room at times, he lends me his jacket when I'm cold, and offers me rides home. The thing is our class is VERY social and open. The teacher herself is like the gossip center. She gets involved in everyone's buissiness and makes annoying and rude commentries at times. Also, I'm the kind of girl that's really outgoing in class but her life is sorta private and she doesn't like to be awed at or what not when I'm going out with someone. So if Bob asks me out (not saying that he will) do you think it's a good idea to say yes? (Considering that he's a senior and I'm a freshmen and the privacy I like)

Thank you soo much in advance =D

Honesty?
I'm not sure if you would want to go out with him.
Sure, he seems sweet and nice and all.
but how long would it last? Because soon, he will be off to college.. and usually.. things don't work out..
Do you really know him? You really have to get to know him though.. Maybe you're getting ahead of yourself and you think he likes you. Some guys are really nice though and want nothing more than a friend.
I would just wait it out.
It's your own decision what to do..
But usually when a senior goes out with a freshmen.. it spreads around and ugly rumors get pasted on ("He's only wants sex" thing)
I mean.. if you're ready for that then go for it.

i want to start babysitting for money bc i need money haha but my parents said i need to take a class to learn how to do cpr and all that before i babysit. is this true?

Well i dont think the parents would expect you to know that or anything..
But it's a great idea to know how.
It would come in handy so I guess if you want the money you would take the class.

i'm going to homecoming in about a week and a half. but i have a bunch of zits on my chin and cheek and a few on my forehead that just all of a sudden popped up. how can i get rid of them before homecoming (in a week and a half)? please help!! thanks.

yes.. i agree with using toner or astringent. it works really good in a few days. for me, it makes it less red and the bump is gone. so just a bit of concealer.. and it's .. not there.


i suggest.. using Clean and Clear!

Well do you have bangs or no?

If you have bangs.. you just do a ponytail or something. Push back your bangs, fluff them up a bit and use a few clips to hold it down.. and use hairspray. If your hair isn't working with it, it's probably because you dont have enough hair for the bangs part.

If you have long bangs.. like.. you push your bangs back along with your other hair.. then do a ponytail.. but push forward (? not that good at explaining it) and let the bangs a bit loose then tie it. It should poof up in the front.

after i have had sex with my ex why does she walk all funny

because it hurts..?
it's usually sore for a girl, so she might not walk like she usually does..

hey, I'm 14 my name is jackie.. and I need help..

I'm not sure who to like. On one hand there is this one guy (tony)who is 16, and I've known him for a few weeks. He's shy but his friends say he likes me and wants to take me to homecomming. He is really cute but sometimes he can be a little rude to everyone.. Also we hung out last weekend and we kidna flirted but didnt really pay attention to me

and on the other hand tony's friends little brother (14 years old) named ryan is so hott! he has the most amazing eyes and he is really sweet. he let me use his sweatshirt when i was cold, and he talked to me when noone else was. he said i should comeover his house again. he knows how to treat a girl.

I'm really confused on which to like? please help

it seems like you have already picked though.

you did say ryan was really sweet and he paid attention to you unlike tony. since ryan knows how to treat a girl, go for him. you want someone to treat you nicely and pay attention to you.. not just flirt.

ok me and my boyfriend have hung out everyday almost every hour of the day for about...8 months..ok yea i know my friends are wanting to kill me..but see i dont really not want to hang out with my boyfriend. They bitch at me ALL the time..but i have so much fun when im with HIM. And it kinda sucks though cuz he's 2 years older so when i'm with my friends they kinda leave me out of everything..I mean..i know i should hang out with my friends more..and i know the whole chicks before dicks..but..theres jusr somethin about this guy and whenever im with him im like amazingly happy...What should i say to my friends to make them understand?...I mean when i hang out with my friends its when he has work or something and they like get offended and i dont understand why?? i try to explain..but..they just dont get it..HELP!

eh..you need to make better friends who treat you a lot better. if they are cool that your boyfriend is like your best friend.. then maybe make plans with them too?

i did this too.. my friends treated me badly. i made some new ones that understood that my boyfriend was like my best friend.. so i hung out with him a lot more.

i think you need at least one chick best friend though. someone you can also tell things to.. so if something goes between you and your boyfriend.. you can have someone there for you.

sadly i did not do that.. and i was a big mess for a long time.

or i guess you could just forget about them. but if you are constantly with your boyfriend.. maybe they want to spend some time with you too?


it's all up to you.. to drop those friends or make some new ones.

but its not all that fair to give all your attention to your boyfriend..even though he's probably easier to talk to and more fun to be around with..

13/f

i want a belly button ring so bad. not this year though. next year, in 9th grade. the thing is though, my mom won't let me. she said i have to wait til i move out when i'm 18. SIX YEARS?! um no i'm not waiting that long lol. i know a ton of people who have them and they haven't had a problem. i know they can get infected, but that's only if you don't take care of it and stuff. how can i convince her to let me? it's not fair 6 years is too long lol.
thankss

You should wait in a few years though.
Because your 13 and theres a chance you would still be growing. A piercing right there, might get in the way of growing and hurt.

You could tell your mom you would take care of it and that's all you want for your birthday, etc. Something. Just ask her what you have to do, to prove her that you're responible or something. But wait til 10th grade or something.
Because at a young age, she most likely won't go for it!

Because so many young people have it and it kinda looks slutty, so obviously parents don't want that.

[view]


is it fair for a girl to have to do stuff with her partner while she is on her period even when shes not in the mood?

Obviously not.

If she's not in the mood in the first place, her partner should respect that!

No one 'has to do' anything.

It would be kinda messy anyway.

What is up with these 13 yr olds and getting pregnant/asking for advice about fingering and sexual things like that. wtf is our world coming too.When I was 13 I was still playing coodies with the guys next door or riding my bike around the neighborhood. Gahsh by the time I turn 30, 5 yr olds will be worried about sex. WTH

I dont know. Whoever thought it was cool, was completely stupid.
I'm tired of all these young girls getting pressured into it and getting pregnant. I'm sick of all these guys changing themselves and going along with what their girlfriends want to do.

I dont see how it's cool or anything, especially getting pregnant and having the guy leave you.. or your parents disowning you.

I wish it would stop.

I'm tired of these girls going up to me and asking me how do you have sex?

O__o!!

if you dont know how to do it then you shouldn't be thinking of doing it at all!

They don't even understand the consequences.

I think it's either the popular kids [stupid] or the media that has planted this idea in their heads.

okay so i'm 13 & i'm gonna turn 14 on november 12th. & i'm def. gonna have a b-day party! i just dont know what to do 4 it. like what places to go...things like that. & i think i wanna rent a limo or sumthin. so what should i do 4 my party?

Noo don't rent a limo! Save it for your sweet 16! :D

You could have a sleepover. Watch your favorite movies, play games, bake something yummy [cake, cupcakes] i think that would be fun.

You could go to the movies and mall.

You could have a party at a beach. Swim, play beachball, get a tan, etc.

last night when me and my boyfriend got home we got @ my house @ like 9:30, but he didnt have to be home till around 10:30 so we just stayed outside on my porch and he gave me my birthday present, then we started kissing, touching, making out, ect. but then 10:30 rolled around he left, i went inside and went to the bathroom and (this is weird) my vagina was like swelled up like twice the normal size,w/e i dont know why. it's not like we have never done any of that before ya know. i just need to know what happened, since this never happened before. but maybe it's becausewe were standing and making out? like for so long?

Well since you were making out... you were most likely aroused. So.. the clitoris swells up. Even if he was touching you there or not. Just like the penis gets erect. Yup.

Well....First I have a big crush on a boy but he ikes another girl and i want him to notice me and like me? What should I do?????????Help!


Second of all: Okay my friend told my crush that I liked him and I told her not to but she did and im afarid he will make fun of me.

So what Should I do? Should I leave it and go on?IS it bad or good? I need serious help!!!!!!!

Well now that your crush knows. You can either deny it or go along with it.
And be like.. "How could I not like you though... You are ... blahblahblah"


Because if he confronts you about it, he will /notice you/ then and you just have to be yourself. You cant make someone like you.

you might find out whether or not he likes you too.

It's better to let your crush know then keep it to yourself.. because.. what if they like you? You could have had something.

But if he doesnt, there are more fish in the sea!

im in 8th grade, and please dont tell me that it is too young to be having sex--I KNOW!! i am a christian, and it's just that i live in a really small town, and so everybody just seems to know when you've lost your virginity, and i dont know, its just that there is quite a bit of pressure put on having sex. but my question is, is that ive heard that you have a less chance of getting pregnant while on your period. i would just die if i decided to have sex and ended up getting pregnant!! but the problem is, is that i dont know if guys will have sex if a girl is on her period. is that gross to them??

Don't give into pressure.
Don't believe what you hear.
There's always a chance you could get pregnant. Even if you have protection, you don't have your period that day or you are on it.

That's why you shouldn't have sex now. Because there's always a chance but when you're older.. you can handle the situation better.

It's not really clean, so I doubt they would be interested in it.

Girls, do you think that facial hair on a 15 year old guy is attractive. I know that girls don't really like mustaches. But do girls like anything, or should I just stay clean?

Facial hair is good.
Only if you don't let it grow out too much and it gets so messy. A bit unattractive.

A faint mustache is hot.

Staying clean is also good.

But really.. do what you want. Some girl would like it.

I need to change my xanga, because lots of people have been reading it that I didn't want to read it. I want to make all my entries disappear, but i want to be able to read them myself if i log on or whatever.....is this possible? is there a code or something? This person used to have stuff on her xanga, and now there's nothing: http://www.xanga.com/coming_over_tomorrow. How did she do that? I don't want to shut my site down altogether, because I wrote my feelings and stuff and I personally want to be able to read my entries, but I want to keep others out....I applied xangalock and stuff, but I was just wondering how to make it all invisible or if anyone knew of a site that said how to do that.

When you write an entry.
At the bottom of the box.
There's STATUS.

YOU can choose private, so only YOU can see the entries. No one else can see it, only if they logged in on your name.


Or

You can choose protected. If no one is on your list, then no one can see it. So yeah.

Hey you guys I'm a 14 year old female.
Now, I know that hormones can cause some teenagers to masturbate, and that it's healthy and releases sexual tension. But I'm not totally convinced, and I'm afraid its wrong. I'm also afraid that I'm backstabbing my mom by not telling her whats going on. She knows I've gotten my hormones, because I told her one night at 3 in the monring because I couldn't sleep. I know I shouldn't be telling my mom about this stuff, but I feel so ashamed. I masturbate about twice a day. What should I do?


Thank you in advance.

It's heathly and it's not hurting you. I don't see how you would think it's wrong. Most teenagers do it.

It's best not to tell your mom about it. Because things may get awkward and I dont think she wants to know. I bet she knows you would do it sooner or later but she doesnt want to hear it from you.

Don't feel ashamed, it happens to everyone.

It's just something you keep to yourself. It's not hurting you and every other person has done it. So they understand what you're going through.

If you need to talk to someone about it, maybe a really close friend, a doctor or someone on advicenators.

My Dad got a job offer 14 hours away from where I live in April & we were planning on moving there in June. I didn't tell my friends because he said I couldn't until he resigns from his current position. Well, he didn't quit then because my Mom was ill & had brain surgery & stuff so we had to stay here. The doctors say she is ok to go soon, though. So my Dad is quitting Sept. 29 if everything goes as planned. That means I can tell people & I'll probably move by Christmas. (after mid november) My question is should I tell them when I find out or will most people just forget about me because I'm leaving? Would they try to do more with me because I'm moving? Should I wait? I really have no idea how they will react... it's my first time moving. thanks a lot!

I think you should tell your friends you are moving in a few months.. Because I think they would want to spend as much time with you as possible. If you tell them later, then it would only be less precious time spent.

I know some people will be sad and some will miss you. So you should say it now and get it over with.


Your friends won't forget about you if you are leaving. They will miss you. Just try to keep in touch. Phone numbers, Aim, MSN, Myspace, etc.
