I hate to be the barer of bad news, but YES you can get pregnant. My mother knew a girl that got pregnant almost exactly like that. Only she didn't finger herself, she was merely sitting naked by it. And sperm can live in the vagina for 7 days. 7 whole days you have a chance of becoming pregnant. And in that 7 whole days I suggest you be a big girl and do something about it, if you aren't going to go to the doctor. Hmm. But if it were up to me, I'd rather go see the doctor than wait around and see if you become pregnant.

Photobucket.com is a really good website to store pictures. It's completley free to! And it lets you have your own online photo album.

I lost about 8 pounds last year when I gave up red meat.And I haven't eaten it since. The best advice I can give you is to give up all red meat i.e.pork, steak...no more bacon...cheeseburgers, ribs. Trust me.Giving up fatty meat is so good for your body + you'd be saving about 40 animals a year. Eat lean meat, like fish and chicken.

If your heart is equal. Go with your head. And obviously your head is saying this new guy. Besides, if you are mature enough to handle this older guy, I say go for it, because older guys are much easier to deal with, trust me. And believe me, about the not seeing each other all the time. That is sometimes better, and you will see him enough, because if there is a will, there is a way. ;)

I'm a 34A and I don't feel the need to. You should try to accept your breasts at the size they are. But if you continue to be unhappy, and you think that getting implants will make you happier, than go for it.

It's a matter of changing really. Everyone goes through changes in their life. But if you don't change together...that is where you have the problem. Take into consideration that maybe this could be her now. (If you are sure it isn't, it would be a good thing to talk to her about how she is acting.) And here's another good thing: My best friend is black, and she's so white though. It's funny. But every once in awhile she has a "black moment" and I seriously can't be around her. If I don't have that option, I just ignore her. But I do tell her off, because I don't deserve to be treated that way, and neither do you. It is annoying. So unless you feel like getting on to her ALL the time, the best thing to do would be confront her about how you're feeling (Yes, I know this sounds bad, but it's true) Friendships only work if everyone knows what's going on. And if she still doesn't change, and you don't like the person she is anymore, maybe it's time to take a break from this friendship, and spend more time with people you can stand to be around, and that are more like you.

Listen to me. If a friend is a true friend, they forgive. He doesn't hate you. If you had this amazing bond like you say you did, (and cussing out isn't the worst thing in the world) He'll forgive you as long as you ask and apologize profusely.

Everyone deals with break ups differently. All I can suggest is that you wake up tommorow morning with a smile on your face, and something to keep you occupied. Healing is done over time. Just have as much fun as you can in the process to make it move faster. Sitting around the house moping and crying and saying your life isn't going to get anybetter, isn't going to help. So just dust the dirt off, and tell yourself that you'll move on. Look on the bright side. You're about to experience something new (and maybe someone when the time comes)

One thing I need to tell you straight up, and you're just going to have to believe me. People that go around telling the whole entire world they're about to off themselves are doing it to get attention. I have no doubt that she hasn't hurt herself before. But know this, people that have true pain, you never know about it, because they don't tell.

People like this bring you down. Really. And this shouldn't be happening. You need to realize that this isn't just her life you should be worrying about. Yours is also on the line. Why would you want to waste life on someone like this? I do realize she is a close friend of yours. But if she were a true "close friend" she would realize that you have your own life, and your own friends. And this poor girl is paranoid. Make sure she knows that she means alot to you, and you'll always be there for her, but you have to get something back in return, or your friendship is going to suck. And then you are going to fill up with so much anger, and one day explode on her. And that, my friend, isn't going to be pretty. Because that will hurt her more than telling her upfront how you feel, and what is going on. So by doing this. You will be saving future tragedy. And if nothing improves, think about telling someone that is capable of getting her a therapist. Because someone that is trained in this type of thing will be much more able to help her than you will.

This isn't bad. Seriously. Some people DON'T like to talk on the phone. I actually hate it. So, you shouldn't feel bad, and you shouldn't waste hours of your life doing something you really don't want to do. So here's the thing. Just say..." ________, I really am not a phone person. We should take it down a notch, k?" This worked for me. And if he doesn't understand, he wasn't worth it anyway. If you are in a relationship, in order for it to work, you have to respect other people's preferances, and they should do the same.

This is an extremely ironic question for me. I hate when people giving advice tell their life story to help someone else's but this MIGHT actually help you, k? So just listen. One night at a dance after a football game, I saw this guy. I think I died, seriously. He was so gorgeous and out of my league. And he was dancing away in his own little world completely oblivous to anyone. I thought this was amazing, because of his confidence and everything. Well, weeks went by. I found out his name and everything. I made a friend of mine introduce us. But nothing really happened until try-outs. I really didn't think I could keep up a conversation, because this guy was SO popular, and so goreous, and super punk, and I thought no one like that would ever give me the time a day. So anyway. I sorta was around him alot. We talked. But I made sure I kept my distance, and wasn't near him ALL the time. A week later, he was following me everywhere, and soon enough we had a fling. (which died in a week by the way)But I found out we had alot in common, by talking to him. Just realizing that if he said something, I could follow him, by saying something that had relevance. Like, for instance, he let me go through his CDs, and he had a Warped Tour CD from last year. I freaked out in a subtle way, and said. "Wow, did you go on the Tour?" He's like..."Dude, I had my tickets and everything, but then my ride backed out, I was so pissed." I was like..."God that sucks. Bowling For Soup, was playing." And I found out how much he hates pop punk and what his music tastes were. And that was about 9 months ago. Now we're best friends. So the moral of this story is, you have to take interest in what he's talking about. And if you DON"T know what he's talking about, make sure you tell him that, and ask him to explain it to you (don't do this too often, it gets annoying) And he'll like it that you are taking interest in him. Talk about yourself a bit, that has to do with his interests. Like me. "I wanted dredlocks so bad, and I was all for the shaving my head thing, but then I went to Carytown and I saw this girl with a shaved head, and she was really pretty, but it didn't look well, so I'm not that pretty, so I couldn't deciede how bad that would look on me." He's like "OMG, I know that girl. I used to live in Carytown." And things just branched off from there. You see? You should find a guy where you can just go on and on with about stuff, and the conversation just flows. If this doesn't happen, maybe you should reconsider a different crush, unless you are considering only a fling with this guy.

I've never heard of eating habits affecting your flow, but I could be wrong on that one, don't hold me against it. I actually have the same problem as you, but I know I can't use them, so I therefore don't. BUT, I know this for a fact. If the tampon hurts, you aren't using it right. Meaning you could be inserting it wrongly. Everyone hates wearing pads, but it is a brutal fact of a girl's life. But, about the healthier eating habits, that is a GOOD thing to adopt anyway because eating healthier can improve your skin, and will mantain your weight, and won't bloat you as much.

You asked the wrong question. "What can you do to make yourself proud." Is the right one. I know what you are thinking. That is so lame. But...it really isn't. As I see it here (from the sitituaion you've just described) doesn't look like it's going to get any better. So you have to take control of yourself, and realize this. You have to be your own person. Once again, I know this sounds lame. But it's so true. You can't sit here and say your parents screwed you over, and never supported you, or your decisions. Because at the end of the day, you don't have them. You are left with yourself. I'm not saying anything your parents say or do to you is right, because it isn't. And I'm not saying I wouldn't want to smack them either. But happiness is a state of being, a way of mind. You make your own happiness. Surround yourself with people who DO care about you, and DO support you, and that love you for who you are. Don't you dare try and make your parents proud. Kids try and do that all the time, and it's this neverending cycle of doing things you don't want to do to please other people. You have to please yourself. I mean this with my entire heart, because I know what you're going through. Don't listen to what others think say or do. Do what you want. Say what you want. And think whatever you want. Because it's not their life. It's yours. Deal with the hand you've been given. And enjoy it.

That is a grey area dear. You are entitled to do whatever you'd like. I'd say though, personally, it's not a smart idea. You can have a slight crush with someone online, and that is fine. But when you do date someone online, it takes away from all of the people you could be meeting right here. You have to have that person to person relationship in order to gain experience, and know what it's like. But, this could be your soulmate, and I'm all for true love. But I'm also a firm believer in, if it's meant to happen it will. So wait. Wait until you are old enough to go see this person. And have a real relationship. And if it's meant to work out. It will.

Editors warning of caution: Everyone on the internet isn't who they say they are. Be sure not to give out information that could be used against you such as: your social security #, your address, your last name, or your phone #. (yahoo people finder is amazing, let me tell you. You can type in the person's phone number, and know their address in 2 seconds flat)All I'm saying is take everything the person is saying with a grain of salt until you are 100% postive they are who they say they are.

It should be. There are better ways to release that feeling you are having.

All you need to know.
