im going to florida
and if i have my period then..
i dont wear tampons, ive tryed amillion times to put on in. never works, so i wear pads. But can i swim in a pool with my period?
because doesnt it like stop it
or will blood go everywhere
xo thanks

ok, first yes, your period does stop as soon as you go into the water BUT it immediatly starts to flow again when you get out.
you can go to www.tampax.com and they can probably give you step by step insrtuctions that you can bring with you into the bathroom on how to put them in. hope i helped. have fun in fl, i live there. lolz

Is 10th-11th grade too late to start cheerleading? (for my high school..jv)? I never had the oppurtinity in gradeschool & I don't tumble. I was with some of my new friends (I just moved) & one is a cheerleader & one is a dancer. They saw my flexibility & asked me if I was a cheerleader & later said that I should be one. It got me thinking because I think it'd be cool but I don't know if I should go for it. I'm loud, average body. Thanks in advanced.

well, ask your friends if they know of a tumbling class, be able to do like cartwheels and stuff, take a class and no its never too late to try something new. and after you take the tumbling class try out for your schools cheerleading team with your friend next year.

In books you always read about a girl leaving
everything behind to stand strong and alone by
herself. (Anna does it in the A-List series by
throwing her phone away when Ben calls, I noticed
it in several Sarah Dessen books as well) I
recently left my best friend and my boyfriend
in a horrible situation, I wanted to see if I
could stand on my own two feet. Now, in the
books they never show how the girl moves on and
stands strong on her own. I feel so empty and
alone without my comfort people around me.
How do I go on and let the world see I can be
strong and I can live on my own two feet?
This is really important to me, but its really
hard as well.

the most important thing to remember is that you need to learn to not care what anyone thinks. your opinion is the only one that is important. books always make things look easy and this is probably going to be hard for you but you need to look ahead even through your hard times. try not to let the world see you cry.

I`m already worried about starting
high school next year, especially the drinking
scene. My best friend was given 20 minutes to
live this year after I found her severly drunk
at a soccer game. (Keep in mind, we're 8th
graders) Well, I had no idea any of this was
going on and I'm not sure if I can handle
my other friends getting into drinking next
year. How do I keep myself out of it?
I'm not up for risking my life like she did,
but I am curious about trying it! Thats the
problem.

ok, here's the deal, i'm a ninth grader and my year is half over. the most important thing to remember is that alcohol can ruin your life, whether you die from poisoning or get in trouble with a teacher your paretns or a cop it can screw up your life, so stay above the influence. i'm not gonna say its all right for your friends to drink because its not but you need to take care of yourself and maybe help them if you can. if they offer you anything the best thing to say that doesn't make you look like a dork is i can't mix alcohol with my medication, i actually am on medication and although i've never been offered a drink i know what to say, and my life is perfectly fine without alcohol, i dont feel like i'm missing anything. we are at the age when we are most curious and people start to experiment with sexuality, drugs and alcohol, so dont screw up your life and if you tell a friend your excuse about your medication and they still push you, then they aren't your friends and they wouldn't care if you died because mixing any medication with alcohol is very dangerous and you can die, so stay away from them if they pressure you too much and stay away from alcohol in general and you'll be fine and you wont ever have to go to an Alcoholics Anonamous meeting. Good luck next year!

I'm flying for the first time tomorrow night and I'm very scared. Can someone just tell me anything on how to calm my nerves and feel safer about flying?

Thank you.

awww, definitly bring gum like the first person says, and yes definitly bring music. but a lot of airlines have movies playing during their flights. i would also bring a book. but don't worry to minimize problems don't try to bring any liquids onto the plane with you and make sure every single metal thing gets into your box at the x-ray machine. but most of all don't forget to breath. at some point you might et turbulence but don't worry its no big deal.
good luck.

Hello my friend is an only child and her parents are going through a very ugly divorce and I really want to do something for her to make her feel better but I have no idea what to do can anyone help me please?

the best thing you can do for her is be there for her. talk to her about and listen to what she has to say. ask her if she wants to talk to a professional and then maybe during a lunch time go with her to your school's psychologist or social worker. sit with her while she talks so she has some comfort and sense of security. but if you have something in mind that could be fun after you talk, then take her somewhere wher she will have fun and she can momentarily forget about all the things she is going through. go bowling or ice skating out go take a bike ride, or have a picnic at a park, i don't recommend a movie becuase sometimes they can be sad and its not the same as spending time with you. so talk to her and have fun with her. these are the times when she needs you most.

In entering pictures on your section of "who I'd like to meet", how to you put pictures up? I know you have to copy the url of the picture or somethin, but I'm a little confused. Any help?

ok, if these picture's are of yourself i'm not sure how you do it, but if they are pictures you found off the internet this is how you do it:
step 1. find the image you want.
step 2.right click on the image, it will give you a menu.
step 3. if you have an apple computer or a mac, click on copy image address. if you have an emachines or anything other than an apple, right click and at the bottom of the menu it will say properties. click that and it will give you a different menu. look where it says address (URL), highlight it and copy it.
step 4. now that you have your URL go to myspace and click edit myspace.
step 5. go to the section you want to put it in, in this case people i'd like to meet and past thhe code in there
step 6. save your changes and go check out your new addition

When im playin in a basketball game my fce turns all red. and its not beacuse im tired cuz as long as i am running around i dont feel that my face is turning hot but then wen i take a break on the beanch i feel it being hot but im still not tired. ill drink water then after mins itll turn bac to normal.

Is there ny reason why it my face does that cuz no one elses does on my team or nybody else that we play against? and is there ny way to make it stop?

as far as i know there is no way to make the redness stop. i am no medical expert but i would say that its overheating or blood rushing to your face. when i do a lot of exercise my face gets red as well. it's nothing to be embarassed about. it just means that you are working really hard. so keep drinking water and take a break every once and a while and you should be fine. but if you really are worried about it, get your blood pressure checked or ask your doctoor about it. again i'm no medical expert but i dont think its anything to worry about.

I've been dating my best friend for almost a month. I really care about him, but right before we started dating i met another guy. At first i had no interest in him, and now that ive gotten to know him, im really beginning to like him. I'm 16, my boyfriends 18, and this other guy is 22. I really like this 22 year old guy, and he really likes me. Today one of his friends took me and my best friend and the guy I like out to the woods to walk on some trails. The guy I like and I were holding hands like the whole time. On our way home, we stopped to get food and drinks and I was alone with this guys friend. I was asking him about the guy i like and he told me that hes never seen him act like that around a girl. He's never been the type to walk around holding hands and to show affection.

Should I break up with my boyfriend and just be friends with him and date this other guy? Or should I leave it alone and just stay with my boyfriend??

i think that you are pretty young for a 22 year old and even 18 is kind of old but i think that your boyfriend you can always trust but the other guy you dont know so well and s probably ready for things that you arent and looking for something your not. you should stick with the boyfriend

me and my boyfriend have been going out for six months, but we fight alot. and its just terrible and it makes me feel bad and him feel bad. But we are so in love, and when were not fighting we have the best of times and we can talk to eachother about anything. And i just dont want to loose all that because were fighting. and i think we fight is because sometimes i dont feel like he treats me well but he does i just like to be pampered and i am very jealous, i just want to overcome those things so me and my boyfriend have a better chance of lasting longer. any advice on how to stop all this fighting?


also, i want to know how to spice up or change our relationship around a little bit to make things moreinteresting and fun.

p.s. my boyfriend recenlty got a job at this place where he has to work from 3 in the afternoon to 12 at night.. so things are hard and sunday is his only day off

well maybe the reason you fight is because you hold on too tightly to him. its better if you arent with each other all the time take somes days off from your relationship and go out with your friends. they will always make you feel better.

okay, well, i went to this one school until 5th grade, and it was really small!!, and i started going to school in a big town. i just moved back to my old school in march of 7th grade. i had changed a whole bunch!! (not to brag, but i got really pretty!!) and everybody still treats me ALMOST the same!! which is good!! so everything is ALMOST like it was, right? WRONG!! i kind of have a crush on this boy that i had known since i was 4!! we dont talk to each other that much, but i mean i had gone to his house a few times when we were little. its a weird relationship. but, i have no clue what he would say if i asked him out!! what should i do?
I will answer to questions you have about the situation!!

well if you have known him since you were four it may be really awkward for him and you and i can see how that would be a weird relationship but first you need to start talking to him again. start up a conversation maybe talking about memories that you had together or the fun you had when you were little and then he'll be reminded of how much fun you were and maybe he'll want to hang out again. get close to him and only ask him out when your sure he likes you and he may even beat you too it but this is to save embarassment by being rejected.

i have a problem. i dated this guy for like ever a while back and me and his sister had been bestfriends then some rumor got started and me and her didnt hang out anymore. well then he cheated on me and i broke up with him. well now me and his sister are bestests again. and i kinda relized how much i really still like him so what do you think i should do and how do i tell his sister without her laughing in my face? im kinda worried. like he has a girlfriend but shes just a whore by what his sister has told me and what ive seen of her, so idk. i just REALLY still have feelings for him. kinda dorky i know. but please help if you can.

well, if you going out with him makes her upset then choose your frends over guys. they\'ll be there for you more than any guy will. if he chose another girl then he may not have feelings for you. its juts a matter of letting guy. good luck

Okk. well i dont know what to do...because my parents ALWAYS talk about moving and i really dont want to you know? well when my friends ask me i say idn cause i dont but when there moms ask my mom says no so idn if im moving or not but i really dont want to...do you think i will end up moving?
♥

alright i can understand why you might be very nervous or feel a lot of pressure from your friends. there will be times when u CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE and are afraid to admit it b/c you know your friends will be upset. but trust me i have moved and although everything turned out okay getting through this is hard to get through. but it is hard to say whether or not you will move because i don't know what your parents are thinking but it wont be for a while because it takes a lot of preparation to move and it takes a while to pick a new house and sell your old one so e content for now and enjoy everyday

well were do I start me and my x had broken up because I'm not allowed to go out with guys and my mom found out so I broke up with him.well I found out that he was messing around with some other girls,but I didn't get mad cause we weren't together and cause I broke up with him when he still wanted to be together.well when I text message him he still tells me he loves me and still calls me babe and stuff like that.well now every time I text him he never has time for me.he's either to busy or he's eating or doing something and I feel like he doesn't care he wants to get back together,but when he tells me I love you I'm hearing it but I'm not seeing it,and it hurts.I feel like crying cause he's just dissing me,and it makes me feel like sh*t.so what I desided is not to call him or text him and just pretend I don't know him.but why his he doing this?I will rate a 5 just please give me good advice and it will be nice to get advice from a guy who does it.I just want to know why do you do it?

alright i'm not a guy buti think that he's doing it to make you jealous or he thinks that since you don't have time for him why should he have time for you.

ok so theres this guy his name is blake. he loves me, i love him.. and i seriously mean love. and we've gone out before, but i broke it off because i didnt want a b/f at the time. but i know he still loves me, and i think he knows i still love him. but the thing is he doesnt understand that i dont want a b/f right now. and im scared to lose him because hes the one for me and im the one for him, but im scared if i dont go out w/him soon then it will all be over and he will end up not wanting to wait for me....so wat should i do??? and i dont want to lose him.

13/f

alright i would say be friends with benefits but just be really close and tell him you love him all the time and you should hang out with him a lot but tell him you just dont want to much commitment but you love him
