How old are you anyway?

::Jasmine::

Okay have you ever had a friend that's burn...have no legs...or arm or something is wrong w/ them like their not normal.My friend is burn we've been such gud friend for the last 2 years or so.........but it's just that since we started high school she got insecure and like controlling to me....she's getting on my nerves I want to to still be friends but it seems I can't because you know she stuck in a wheel chair she doesn't have feet to walk on and move about like other people...I want to end it but not sure if i should what to do?????????????

My guess is that your friend is worried that you'll find new friends and leave her behind with no friends at all. People don't really talk to her do they? No one probably makes an effort to be her friend. I don't know, but I'm guessing you're one of her only friends. She's most likely being controlling because she doesn't want to lose you as a friend to other people.

If I were in her position I would be insecure too. People ignore her because they don't know how to act around her or they just tease her because she's different. Therefore it's probably really hard for her to make friends. So talk to her about how you're feeling and give her another chance, you may be her only true friend. How would you feel if you had no one to talk to?

How do you get out of an abusive relationship when you have no money, no close friends and nowhere to go?

I know sometimes it's hard to get out of an abusive relationship, you try to make yourself believe things will get better, but they won't. I don't know how good your relationship with your family is, but they're still your family, no matter what. Go to them.

I applaude you for wanting to get out of the relationship. Because whether it's physical or verbal abuse it's the same every time. They hurt you, then they apologize and beg for forgiveness/make up excuses. They promise you they'll change and that it'll be the last time and that they love you, but they don't stop. It's the same cycle over and over again.

So even if you're not close to your family, go to them, they love you. Maybe go to the police, you may not want to turn them in, but do you want another person to go through the exact same thing you did?

::Jasmine::

what level moderator do you have to be to participate (vote, etc.) in the advicenator awards?

Any level moderator, as long as you're a moderator you can vote.

::Jasmine::

how do you tell someone you only like them as a friend? (let the person down gently?) can you help me word a small letter?

I've had such a great time with you and I love being around you but I think we're just better suited as good friends.

or

You can wait until the next time they suggest you do something together and say something like

"Yah we should, but maybe just as friends this time"

That's the nicest way I can think of.

::Jasmine::

what kind of chocolate brand should i buy for feeling sad? and the chocolate should be with nuts do you guys know any brand or where should i buy?

Snickers have nuts, Hershey's can have almonds... That's all I can think of. I'm not sure that any particular chocolate will help more than the other.

::Jasmine::

when you have sex for the first time, unprotected sex, is there a chance you can get pregnant???

Yes, so be safe, even if it's your first time. There's always a chance of getting pregnant.

::Jasmine::

i dont know if this is wierd or not. when i masturbate i sit on one spot in my room every time. and what happens on that spot, stays on that spot. am i wierd?

thanx

I prefer the term eccentric.

No, just kidding. You're not weird.

::Jasmine::

My boyfriend and I are planning to have sex sometime soon.. within the month. We are both 16 + virgins and we are going out to buy condoms together. I'm also on birth control, have been for nearly 5 months and I'm excited for sex.

Is that strange of me? I'm actually looking forward to it and I feel really comfortable about it too. Most of my friends didn't feel like this before their first time.. so i feel out of place.
:/

You should be proud of yourself. You're not nervous and you're looking forward to it because you are actually ready to have sex.(You'll probably feel nevous when you're actually closer to having sex, but that's normal) Not just physically ready, but emotionally ready too. You're not second guessing your decision. Your being responsible and you are being safe, you have no reason to feel out of place.

::Jasmine::

Firstly, I should say that I really, really like my boyfriend. [Even if I can't remember why, like right now]. But I am really, really upset with him because he's been bailing on me for the last few nights when he promised me he'd see me. The problem is, we can't see each other on weekdays due to conflicting schedules so we try to see each other on weekends, even if it's just for lunch or something. But lately it just seems like he doesn't even remember me. And this is all at a horrible time, too, because I just met another guy who wants me to just ignore the fact that I have a boyfriend and get with him. I don't want to get with him. All I want is for my boyfriend to care, or even be jealous of this other guy, but he isn't even around. In fact, I talk to the other guy more than I talk to my boyfriend, because he actually makes the "effort" to talk to me, even if it's just a text message. My boyfriend just seems to think that he doesn't need to.

I guess my main question is how do I get my boyfriend to care? I don't want the other guy, I only want him. I just want him to make an effort. I want him to know that he isn't the only one who wants me, and I want him to stop taking me for granted, but I don't want to tell him straight up because he might think I'm overreacting and that would only make things worse. Even if I have to tell him, what should I say?

Sweetheart, what you need to do is tell your boyfriend everything you just typed. Call him and meet up with him, tell him it's important. Meet somewhere private, then tell him how much he has upset you. The only thing that is going to make this situation better is talking to your boyfriend and telling him how you really feel.

I'm sure he cares about you, he probably doesn't even know that you feel this way, or realise what he's done. Tell him how much it hurts you that he doesn't even make an effort to talk to you or see you. To have a good relationship you need to be able to communicate with each other. Start now.

Can using a vibrator cause bladder infections? cause i got one and i suspect that it might be the cause?

I doubt it, but make sure you're cleaning your vibrater and anything else you might use everytime you use it.

okay i really need some advice.

15/F

I am really liking this boy Anthony he is perfect beautiful smile abs cute smart the perfect package and me and his sister met and she told me he liked me and i told her i really liked him. but i want to get him to tell me he likes me i told him how i felt about him completely and i just want to hear it from him.

His sister said he is scared to go into a relationship right now because his last girlfriend was a bitch and ruined everything and ah i just want to be with him but he doesnt show the same when we talk only when were together. i just need help to make him show forth to tell me he likes me or just things to do when we hang out. its always the same thing kissing cuddling and watching a movie i mean its perfect but i want to do stuff like go out places. any ideas please (:

i need help :(

It sounds like he's currently afraid of commitment, so maybe you should just start out as friends. Show him that he can trust you, but makes sure he knows that you like him and that you're single too, so he'll make the first move when he's ready. Also make sure he knows that you trust him. Be patient and don't push for a relationship right away. You already know he likes you, he just needs some time. Sooner or later he'll realise that he's ready for a relationship with you, and some of the best relationships start out with just being friends.

Ok so heres the thing, there is this guy who likes the same girl I do. The girl is 14 and this other guy is 18. This girl happens to be a bit shy, and mysterious...goth/loner like. She is friendly and playfull at times. She can seem a bit flirty, and a certain innocence. This other guy likes her for the same reasons I do. The other guy also just broke up with his ex. If I try anything I am just worried that I would be hated by the group, and my secrets i trusted them with would be told, or that i'd be kicked out of the group. He is also a good friend. Please help... im not sure what to do

Well you are closer to her age, so I think it would actually be better if you were with her...
but can't make her like someone she doesn't, so maybe she likes you, maybe she likes him. Talk to your friend about it, see if it would be okay if you dated her. But would you be okay if she dated him instead of you? And is this girl worth possibly ruining your friendship?

You can always say "May the best man win," but then there would be this big competition between you and your friend and that may cause problems. Just think this situation over, think about the consequences and who and what is more inportant to you.

i'm a virgin and i'm gonna have sex w/ my boyfriend and i'm really afraid it's gonna hurt. and what if he can't get in me because i'm too tight?! can that even happen? and i know to tell him to go slow blahblahblah. im just mainly concerned he cant .. get in me lol

He'll be able to get into you, that won't be a problem. But if you're more relaxed and less tense it will hurt less for you.

::Jasmine::

Let's say I met this guy. Through mutual friends. But I only ever talked to him online. Let's call him Bob. From the first picture that I saw of him, I noticed that Bob was repulsive (to me, at least. in my opinion) but he was extremely nice. he always gives the best advice...always listens, shows that he genuinely does care. And even though I know I will NEVER want to be with him (through meeting somewhere other than MSN) I still fell in love with his personality. Not his face. And now I'm attached. Whenever he mentions his girlfriend, I get jealous. But then I tell myself "why are you jealous? he's not your bf and he'll never be. so what's the point?" But I just love him for his personality. And it bugs me. Because I know he's not my type. Yet I still react with jealousy and other close and emotional feelings toward him. Is this okay? What should I do? How can I move on? I've been talking to him for one year now. I know that the best advice would be "Just stop talking to him before you get yourself in trouble" BUT ITS SO HARD! It's so hard to let go of someone you've gotten so close with. Advice? :( am I being shallow?!

I wouldn't say you were being shallow, but you are saying that you're never going to go out with him...just because of his looks. I think you're being a bit unfair. If he really has a great personality then maybe you shouldn't rule out a future relationship just yet.

If you are sure that you'll never want to be with him, then you could just stay friends with him, but I think you like him a bit. (Even if it's just because of his personality) So you can stay friends with him and deny you like him and become even more attached or you can just stop talking to him so you'll be able to get over your crush since you don't want to be with him.

My guess is that if you keep talking to him you'll become even more attracted toward him and it'll be harder to just be his friend. It's your choice as to what to do though, follow your heart.

ok well i'm gonna have sex w/ this guy, but i'm a little worried that his penis might be too thick for me to take. is this a stupid fear? will my vagina be able to stretch to accomodate it? ...and will it hurt a lot?

You'll be fine, if your vagina can stretch enough to have a baby then sex will be no problem. If you're a virgin, then yes, it will hurt the first time. It may even hurt first couple of times, but after that you'll be fine. It will hurt less if you're relaxed and not really scared and tense.

Make sure you're safe also, and that you're ready to have sex. Your first time having sex shouldn't be casual.

Ugh... well I have a really weird problem that won't go away.

I am SO afraid of Satan. I mean like seriously afraid of him. It's to the point where I can't sleep 'cause I'm worried he's going to come through the door and kill me.

This happens every night. It takes me hours until I can fall asleep because I start imagining in my mind that Satan is going to do something really bad. Then I have these dreams where I'm possessed.

It's seriously the scariest thing ever. I mean, because I believe that it's all completely real. I know that it's not likely that anything like that would happen, but there's still that small chance that it could...

Ever since I saw The Excorcism of Emily Rose, I have been SCARED. TO. DEATH. And that was a really long time ago when I saw that movie. But I mean that movie is true, and it really happens to people.

PLEASE help me. I need to know how to get rid of this fear of mine.

I get scared easily too, that's why I didn't watch that movie. The exorcism is based on a true story, meaning they also have a creative license to add crap that DIDN'T actually happen.

It's okay to be scared, but you're being extremely paranoid. Just remember that it's just a movie, even if it's based on a true story. If I were you I wouldn't watch those types of movies anymore, at least for a while. I don't know how old you are.

I don't know if you're religious either, but maybe you can pray. It might help you feel...safer or help you overcome your fear.

I don't know if that will help or not, but there's no harm in reading it.

my boyfriend is jealous, about everything..even if i talk to another guy. he flips out. what should i do? should i break up with him?

Talk to him about it first, tell him how you feel about the way he's acting. Tell your boyfriend that he should trust you. If he trusts you then he shouldn't be so jealous all the time, because he should know that you wouldn't cheat on him. If he makes an effort to stop acting the way he is then you should give him another chance(he's probably acting jealous because he doesn't want to lose you to another guy), if he continues then you should break up with him.

so i'm 15/f almost 16. i've had one boyfriend, and that didn't work out. i've had a lot of boys ask me out, but i don't want relationships with them. i'm very picky when it comes to guys. so i found this guy i like a lot, except that he lives like 4 hours away. (my best friends, best friend) he's really awesome and i can actually see myself with him. we're always flirting like crazy and he's always saying stuff like "you want my body" and just stuff to flirt. but then he goes off saying that he's going on some date with some girl that he wants to go out with. and i don't know what to do because i like him and he has apparently been leading me on if he's going to date someone else. and i don't know how to handle this situation...

help?

He's probably trying to say that he likes you, but doesn't want a long distance relationship. It's hard going out with someone when they're four hours away. So just keep in touch and just stay friends for now, and maybe you'll find another guy you like who lives closer to you.

alright, so if a guy gets raped, and the woman gets pregnant, does the guy have to pay child support for the kid?

First off, I doubt people would believe the guy was raped and not the woman. If the woman who raped the guy said she was raped then they would most likely belive her. If the court does believe that the man was raped or the woman confesses to raping him, he would not have to pay child support for the kid.
