ok... i just got a new camera phone. it is motorola and i was wondering....does it cost me for every picture i take?????

I haven't got a Motorola or any type of camera phone but alot of my friends have and I know for a fact that it only costs money to send the pictures. You can take as many as you like and it wont cost anything.

is masterbation a sin? if so then how do i stop?

Some strong Christians and possibly people from other religions believe that masturbation is a sin. However, not many people really believe that anymore and it has become and natural and common thing to do. It is up to you whether you masturbate or not, if you are a strong Christian then you might want to stop due to your beliefs but you don't have to if you don't want to. This whole situation is similar to gay marriages, in the Bible it says that they are wrong but a lot of people, including Christians don't believe that anymore. So basically, masturbation is only a sin if you believe it is.

Well I have a party on Friday and it is a pool party.. but I am also just starting my period... I know I can use a tampon.. but I am afraid it will leak.. will it? and should I use it?

I seriously doubt that your tampon will leak. It only has a chance of leaking if you haven't changed it for five or six hours. If you are really worried then use a high absorbancy and change it as often as you can. I'm sure you will be fine.

since like 6th grade I have been getting this discharge in my underwear. It comes every day is that normal? .. I am in 8th grade and stil have not gotten my period what is wrong? What could I do ? How will I get it? WIll I ever ? -- Thanks

Getting discharge is a sign that your period will come in the next year or so, it is completely natural to get it. Different girls start their periods at different times, it's normal for you not have got yours yet. There is nothing you can do, you just have to wait for it to come. And when it does come you'll wish it never had, periods are hell I can tell you that for nothing.

When should girls start to wear tampons?

Whenever they want to. Most girls like to wait a few months after they start their period before using them but it's completely up to you. You might feel uncomfortable with using them, don't feel pressured to, it's your choice.

Someone told me that washing your hair every day can damage it. Then someone else told me that it wasn't true unless you blow dry it everyday (which I don't so)
So which person is right?
I've been washing my hair everyday for ages because there's nothing better to do, haha. I don't want to damage my hair from it though!

Both washing and blow drying your hair daily can be harmful in the long run. Some people have to do both every day so there are precautions you can take to make sure you cause as little damage as you can to your hair. It might be an idea to switch to using a mild shampoo, using harsh shampoos and conditioners daily can damage the hair. Use a heat protection or blow dry cream/spray before you blow dry it, this will help reduce frizziness and heat damage.

Hi,I've read your advice and it is very good. :)
My name is Jessica and I'm 15 and female.
The thing is,I like this guy..lets call him Davey.Well, 'Davey' is a 16 year old male and I ride the same bus,we live in the same neighborhood,almost all of our classes on both A and B days are close together.
I know he likes some of the stuff I do: rock music,Invader Zim,playing instruments,etc...And I catch him looking at me during lunch and he almost always sits behind me on the bus.Hes very quiet and shy,and so am I..((Davey's 'clique' is somewhere between skater,punk and normal and mine it between gothic,punk,gamer and normal...if that matters at all))But we're both so shy,that we've never spoken to eachother! ((besides asking if we can sit next to eachother on the bus,etc.))A friend asked Davey a while ago if he liked anyone,and Davey told her he liked me.
But if he likes me,why hasn't he made a move to even speak to me?I'm very lonely but I don't have a high self-esteem at all...so I doubt I can make the first move...or is there anything I can do to seem like I want to talk to him?Or be more 'approachable'?
I've liked him for maybe a year and a half and I blush whenever anyone says his name or whenever I get a good look at him!
Please Help-Thanks!
-Jessica

Sitting around waiting for him to approach you wont get you anywhere. You need to make the first move. Sit next to him on the bus and say something like
"Did you see (insert show) on TV last night?" or
"Have you got (insert band/singer)'s new album?" Or even better
"Have you seen (insert movie)Because I'd really like to see it." If he says he hasn't seen it but doesn't do the obvious and ask you if you want to go, just come out with it and ask him if he wants to go. Don't worry about making a fool of yourself, just go for it. Good luck.

ok im in a relationship with a guy for 3 months and he doesnt go to my school anymore cuz hes expelled for the rest of the year but my friend lives close to him and she always trys to brag bout that she gets to see him more than me and i think well i know shes doing it to annoy me and who should i be mad at cuzz they have been hangin out more than me and my boyfriend and they r really close i think im jealous cuz i need help how do i solv this its been buggin me!!

You shouldn't be mad at either of them. If your friend is saying stuff deliberatly to annoy you then sit her down and explain to her how upset it's making you feel. If she doesn't stop then ignore her when she talks about it and make her think that it isn't bothering you, eventually she will stop. I know what it's like to be jealous of a boyfriend being close to one of your friends. My boyfriend is in one of my best friends classes for everything and they are quite close friends, it really gets to me. People can't help being jealous. Talk to your boyfriend about how you honestly feel, if he is a good boyfriend and really cares for you he will reassure you. Hopefully you will begin to trust them and see that they are just good friends. If you feel like they spend more time together then arrange to meet up with your boyfriend after school and on weekends. See each other as often as possible, that way you will become closer.

What is emo??

I believe I answered a question similar to this before. The answer I gave was:

Here is the definition for emo taken from http://www.urbandictionary.com:

Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands

The inside corner of my left eye is very red and bloodshot looking. Its itchy and sometimes it hurts. There is this white colored puss that shows up on the corner of my eye and I really don't know what's wrong. I wear contacts and I change them regularly. I don't know what the problem could be. Does anyone know what is wrong with my eye? It's not pink eye because I've had that before and I know what it's like.

It sounds like you have Conjunctivitis. This is a fairly common eye infection but is very contagious so you should see your doctor as soon as possible. He or she will probably prescribe you with some eye drops and after you start using them it should clear up pretty quickly.

Does anyone have any tips for swallowing pills? I have some pills from my doctor for a bronchidal infection, and they were huge, I had to cut them up into fourths, yet they still are tough to get down. Tips or tricks?

Try crushing the pills up and mixing them with a spoonful of jam or something. That way it will be just like eating jam and the pills will work just as well. If you don't want to try that then take a large gulp of water and while the water is still in your mouth, put the pill in, swallow quickly and take a sip of water to help it go down. Sometimes you can taste the pills with that method, if you don't want to then try using juice instead. You can also try dissolving the pill into a drink like orange juice and then drinking it. It might also be an idea to just crush the pills into a lid or an empty yoghurt pot then pour it into your mouth.

What is Chlamydia?

It is a sexually transmitted disease. Symptoms of Chlamydia in women are bleeding after sex or between periods, lower abdomanal pain, a burning pain when urinating and discharge from the vagina. In men symptoms are discharge from the penis, pain during urination and inflammation or infection of a duct in the testicles.

So yeah, not a nice thing to have.

well...i just saw the movie 'something like love' and it got me thinking. does love like that actually exist? i'm sure not many people have seen it yet as it is a new movie...but they just seemed so, i don't know, made for each other. it was surreal. i know in real life guys might not stand outside and sing to you with a guitar to win your heart...but the way they felt for each other...does that really happen? thanks!

I believe that love is real but some people don't. There are people who think that love is just a device made by companies in order to help sell their products. You can feel that way for people, they are just feelings but people feel the need to have a name for everything so it's called love. It exists but when it comes down to it, it is just a feeling. I think that the people who believe it is just commercialised have never actually been in love. It's really a matter of who you are and what you believe, for some love can happen but for others it just can't. It's all based on opinions.

Anyone have any good recipies for brownies WITHOUT nuts? I can't seem to find a good one!

It will be fine to just use the same recipe and leave out the nuts. I've done it before and it's fine, trust me.

Do yOU find anything wrong with A white girl and a Black guy being in-love dating, and wanting to get married?

please, share your oppinion, and support it!
I am open to hear both sides!

Why would there be anything wrong with it? It takes more than one colour to make a rainbow. If you are in love then the colour of your skin is completely irrelevent. Racism is pure evil and it's so pointless.

I have a friend who is mixed race, his mother is white and his father is black. He has his hair in braids that are quite long. Yesterday, we were in the playground at school and one of us swore. A man walked past the fence and said to a woman who was also walking past "They need to wash their mouths out with soap. Especially that Rastafarian one." And he pointed at my friend.

I have another friend who is black, both her parents are from Nigeria and her and her family are some of the nicest people I've ever met. A while back, she was talking to a girl a couple of years younger than us over MSN. The girl started to call her names like 'Black Bitch' and 'Paki'. The girl had been brought up in a racist family and believed that it was wrong to be a different race. My best friend, Keely, is half Chinese. The other day she was walking along when some random people came over and called her a 'Paki'. These friends aren't even from Pakistan so I don't understand why they called them that.

My mother was once lying next to a swimming pool in Spain on holiday when she overheard a conversation between two families who had obviously only just met. They were talking about asylum seekers as if they were fleas, saying things like "Oh well I don't mind a few of them here and there but they're just everywhere nowadays."

Those are all examples of racism. I didn't mean to write an essay but I wanted to get my point accross clearly. The colour of your skin should never ever matter. There is no other side to the argument, it's just a damn colour.

One of my best friend's (the guy in my first example)parents are married and they are a completely different race. His father is Ethiopian and his mother is British. He has also dated many girls from different races. I know plenty of people who have dated/date black people. There's nothing wrong with it at all.

I think I got my point accross, I apologise for typing so much, I don't expect you'll have read all of it.

i just turned 14 and in janurary or feburary i got my first period. now its april and i havent had it since, i know irreguar periods are normal but for this long?!?!

That's fine. Sometimes there can be a gap of up to six months in the first couple of years of your period. If you are doing a lot of vigourous sport, have been very ill or lost a lot of weight then that will also add to the irregularity of your periods.

How do *you* flirt with guys.. i want everyones ways hehe


thanx

I've always been accused of being a huge flirt but the thing is, I don't think I've ever really set out to flirt with people, it just comes naturally. So that is my advice to you, don't have a way. I just go with the flow and it comes naturally. When I get into a situation where there are guys there, I just relax and don't worry to much what I'm doing.

I am so tired of people writing "liek dis" Spell correctly so that you can actually get some advice! I don't even know how those questions even appear on the site if it's not even understandable...Does anyone agree with me or am I just illiterate?

I agree with you. It's so infuriating, I'm a level one moderator and usually I don't even bother reading the question before rating it a one. Most questions with spelling that terrible don't get onto the main pages but when they do they generally get rated down and deleted fairly quickly.

Hey does anyone know what that song is called with the little midget or chipmunk singing in the beginning. the "lonley, i'm so lonely: song. what's it called? i know it's by Akon but idk what it's called.
Also, does anyone know where i can find that music video if there is one?

The song is called 'Lonely.' I think you can probably find the video on the MTV website. If that doesn't work then just search 'Akon Lonely video' on google and you will probably find a bunch of sites that have it.

is it safe to try inserting a tampon if you dont hae your period? (just for practice)

It is safe but only if you make sure you take it out straight away and don't leave it in. If you DO leave it in then you are at risk of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) and trust me, you really don't want that.
