Q: ok me and my boyfriend broke-up tuesday from a 2 month relationship and I was starting to kinda get over it but then today he asked me back out and i said yeah..and I really like him a lot its just its alil weird..like we always said love ya when we got off the phone or when we signed off aim..but not we dont..I know its only the first day but I always thought you just took it from where it left off? if he just thinking something different? and well I just wanna know if thats normal or if thats a sign that he dont like me that much as before..? and if either what should I do bout it..thanks soo much Ox

This one is mostly up to you. what makes you happy is what you should do. Thats fine if you like him a lot... but, When a couple brakes up, then gets back together, then you dont start off from where you left off. Try and start new. The new relationship should be better than the last one you have had earlier.

Q: Anyone have the best advice for covering a pimple or the quickest method to get rid of one? (like if I had a dance the next day!)

the best way is to get the liquid make-up then the powder and go from there... try popping it.
if the poppign doesnt work then wait until u c white stuff about to come out of it then pop it. But for ow just try the 1st thing i told you.

Christine

Q: Does anybody by any chance know of good jobs for girls that are like 14 years old or whatever? I need a job, but not one that is a t a fast food restaurant. Does anybody know of any for 14 yr olds?

i need a job too. Ill be 15 tomorrow and still i dont have a job. You have to be at least 16 to work anywhere. your best bet is, is to wait until you are at least 16 to find a job. you wont get hired at 14

Q: I have a problem with not eating right. im afraid that in the future i may gain a lot of wait. I need to go on a small healthy diet. Not to lose weight, but just to eat right. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how i should go about this?

Eating right means that you cant eat junkfood drink pop or anything thats sweet. Dont eat at night. Set an eating limit.
Like:

1. dont eat before 12 or after 5:30.
2. dont eat junkfood
3. no sweets
4. dont drink pop or juice
5. drink lots of water

Good luck with eating right. It helped me and im still eating right. I drink flavored water all the time and i dont drink pop, i dont eat junkfood, and dont eat sweets.

Q: ok, what's "7 minutes in heaven"..i know its a game, but what do you do? hows it played? rules? etc? =)

ok this is what "7 Minutes in Heaven" is...
you and a guy go into a closet.. He does what ever he wants to do with you for 7 minutes.
Its a great game for people to do while they "Get To Know Eachother"!!! but the thing about it is... you have to do whatever he wants to do. The guys are in charge in that game.
Not you (The Girls)

Have fun..... Christine

Q: ok, me and my friend both have these relationships with guys, let's say "Ashley" & "Matt" and me & "John". ok, everytime "Ashley & Matt" are having a good relationship, "me & John"'s relationship has problems, but once we fix them and are doing fine, "Ashley & Matt" have problems. this happens everytime and has been ongoing for more than 3 months now. is there anything we can do to break the cycle? i will rate if you respond, cuz i really need help.

The only way to answer this is... Find it in your own words and talk to them about your problems. Speak your own words about how you feel about this. also why it is happening.

Q: I am 14/f
i like this guy but i am afriad to talk to him becuase i dont think he will like me back. I also think he still likes his ex-girlfriend. Do you think i should talk to him and if so, how do i talk to him?

TALK TO THE KID ANYWAYS. HOW TO TALK TO HIM:
1.) TALK TO HIM LIKE YOU 2 ARE FRIENDS.
2.) DONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PARENTS.
3.) BE YOURSELF.

Q: hey,
Well, here's the deal I'm almost 17 and my boyfirend is almost 21. My mom thinks he's only 18, she hasn't met him before becuase we both are in job corp.He just left for the army and I'm going to have a baby now. I'm onlt 2 1/2 months. We have been together for 8 months. Well, this is my Question how do I tell my mom when she thinks I'm still a virgin?
loca

You may want to tell your mom NOW!!! If something goes wrong who are you going to go to for help? Think about it. Also what are you going to say to your mom when she asks you why and how are you getting so fat? These kinds of things you can not hide from your parents.

Christine

Q: okay ive been going ou with a guy for 2 days now and i cant stop thinking about him..i think about him all the time everytime i close my eyes all i see is him..when we have to say bye on the phone..i wanna say i love you...but im not sure...could i be inlove??

i learned a lesson from this. Never say "i love you" this early. You dont want to lose him. Love is a very strong word. You may be in love, but you're not that in love.
Wait until about 1-2 months to say that to him.

Q: Ok I just got over this relationship from an online girl. We were together 5 months but she held so many lies to me and I never saw her. She lived like 4.5 hours away from me tho. But here is the question. I meet this other girl and she likes me and I like her. She lives in the same state and pretty close. How should I go about this without getting hurt again? I would love to be with her but just am scared i'll be hurt. Please help all that can. Thanks Much

Im gonna tell you this straight out okay?
Listen if dont want to get hurt again then tell the one gurl that lives 4.5 miles away that its not working out. Tell her how you feel. Get to know the other girl that you like and maybe then u can hook up with her.

Christine

Q: i used to go out with this guy.. we went out three times and he broke up with me saying i dont want a relationship right now and stuff but like i want him and i like him and he likes me and he asked me out.. what do i say? i dont wanna get hurt again..

i had the same problem. I liked my boyfriend for 8 months now. He just asked me out August 13th, 2004.
All those months i really loved him with all my heart. I didnt know if he liked me or not he just always said i was "OKAY" that was it. THen he started liking me. I didnt know wether to go out with him or not. I did and i still dont know if im gonna be the one that gets hurt or not. But if you want to go back out withhim then gofor it. Believe in your self . Do what you think is right

Q: im 13/f and my sister whose 19 moved out about 1 1/2 yrs ago nd recently moved back in. She had a really controlling boyfriend and they were hooked on heroine. My mom had agreed to let her move back in if she stopped doin in. She moved back in about 2mnths ago and got rid of the old boyfriend. She got a new boyfriend but she's still using drugs. it's not just a once in a while thing either, its everyday, and as i said, my mom doesnt know and shes always saying how proud she is that my sister stopped doing drugs. I don't want to wreck me nd my sistersn relationship, but i think my mom needs to know because im afraid my sister will hurt herself.

-confused

Talk to ur sister. Tell her how much its hurting you. My sister used to be gothic. I talked to her and she stopped. Shes her regular old self again.
Just talk to her and say things that you mean and not what she wants to hear from you.

Q: how do you get a yeast infection????????

i asked the same thing. My mom tod me that how you get a yeast ifection is u getreallydry and itchy. All women get it. Nothing to worry about.

Q: Alright...So, I've always been the rebel type. Stayed out late...never did what I was told. I couldnt WAIT til I was 18 and could do whatever I wanted. You know the type. As my 18th birthday is coming up...i've felt completely different. It's like I dont want to grow up. Its not that I dont want to deal with the "real world"...its just that I dont want to be grown up? lol Anyone else going thru this??

hi Im the rebel type too. I always stay out late and never do whatim told. i always go with my boyfriend and his friends driving around and drinkin all the time. My parents dont care about drivin around with friends and my boyfriend.. she just cares that i drink. But i still dont listen to her.
Its not bad that you dont want to grow up. I was the same way. Iwanted to be 21 so i could drink legally. Now that im gonna be 15 this weekend.. I just want to be me. Same old person i am now.
If you want to stay the way you are. You dont have to grow up if you dont want to.

Q: Sometimes my boobs get really sore and tender and they hurt alot..I know they get that way during ur period, but sometimes it randomly hurts..whats that mean?

this sort of thing happens to me. It means your boobs are growing. Nothing is wrong when it happens.

Q: I havent had a boyfriend in about a year and a half. My friends and family are always telling me i need to get out there and meet someone. The trouble is i dont really know where it is im supposed to go to meet theses said "guys".
Anyone have any suggestions on where to meet a nice guy?
Thanks :)

I used to be the same way. Except i liked this guy from Ligonier. Hes 16 and just got his lisence.
Well i was in love with him since last February. And then on August 13th (Friday) he suddenly asked me out. And i havent had a boyfriend since Last December. It sucked. Dont try so hard like my mom told me. Some one will come along. Dont make yourself feel down in the dumps. Be your self and let your soul guide you.

Good luck
Christine

Q: I get the worst cramps when I get my period. It's usually my first or second day when I get these horrible cramps. I take Motrin, drink tea and use a heating pad. Nothing I do seems to really work and my cramps get so terrible I just want to die. Is there something I can do or take that will make them go away?

If you get cramps that bad, take Midol. Not motrin
Motrin does do a thing. Midol works the best. Dont use heating pads or drink tea. Thatll make things even worse. Drink water and drink things with caffinee in it.

Q: well my friend Amanda finch cuts. she cant stop. plz help she wants to kill herslef and i hope she doesnt! help! how do i support her?! i need ideans and QUICK!

ok listen... i used to be the same as Amanda. I wanted to killmyself to. Find out whats wrong with her. If her mom knows.. have her take Amanda to a Phys. Doctor. she needs helpquick. What i did to stop myself, was to think everything through and tell other my problems and y i wanted to kill my self. I didnt cut but i tryed hanging myself. Just help her the best you can and get others to help her too.

BE CAREFUL
