advice

me and my boyfriend want to do things but we can't because our parents our always home. the only time we did fool around was at my house but it was like 3 in the morning and they were sleeping...i was nervous the whole time though cause i felt like they were gonna catch us. were both 17 so we can't get a hotel. and a car isn't really the best place cause like where would we park it? itd be sketchy...so does anyone know any places we can go? or anything we can do about that whole parent situation?

Well, not going to lie. Movie theaters (empty ones) are really good, not for SEX SEX, but for other things. Something I've done with my doorknob is remove the end that screws on, so the only part left is the one that lets me open the door (with the stick attached to it) that way my parents have to knock before I let them in and you'd be able to sneak him in easier. I'm not encouraging sex, but you're 17 and you'll find ways to do it anyway, just be safe. Trust me the worst thing in the world is thinking you're pregnant or have caught something. Avoid that by being safe.

Hope I helped :)

I wear pads when I have my period, but the only way I can sleep without staining the bed is on my front. I think that position is contributing to my monthly back pains. Any advice?

If you live near a Walgreens or a CVS, they sell "over night pads." They're longer and wider so they can absorb more. As embarrassing as it seems, one of my friends used to wear adult diapers to bed so she wouldn't stain her sheets, but if you used them only you would know, so who cares? Secondly, that definitely is contributing to your back pain. Sleeping like that makes your head choose a side either left or right, and therefore can affect your back because they're connected by your spine. Lastly, you could also buy a bed liner (thin plastic sheet, goes under your sheets) so you don't stain your mattress as well.

Is every guys penis small when it isn't hard?

Like Cux said, yes. When a guy is soft, his penis shrinks, and when turned on, it becomes harder so it can be inserted into a vagina. (As graphic as that seems, sorry) but it's true.

i like this boy and he likes me and he said we would go out if i sent him a pic txt of my boobs or me naked wat should ido please help

First off, no guy who asks for your naked pictures is ever worth going out with, whether you like him or not (TRUST me). They're scum, and right off the bat don't deserve you. Secondly, "sexting" is illegal and if he ever sent those pictures around to other people, and got caught, he could get charged for child pornography, depending on your age. It would all lead back to you, so ultimately, not worth it.

Hope I helped.

Anybody know a place that can help me make a resume without having to pay for their help or the finished product? I am trying to get a job and I don't know how to create a resume at all! It's really stressful and I feel absolutely stupid since I don't know how to even start a resume. Maybe somebody here knows or something? Please, any help is appreciated!

You could probably find a great site on it, if you Googled it. They'll also have very detailed explanations of how to create one, it's quite simple once you read up on it. Also if you have Microsoft Words, Microsoft Publisher usually has already made resumes where you just input information.

Hope I helped :)

ok, so I applied for a few jobs and one replied back to me and so I had to talk to them in an interview today. They said by the end of the week I would have the job but I have to pay out of my own pocket for a background check, finger printing, and a full physical (including lab work, tuberculoses TB test, and xrays)--all of which total is estimated to about $400. Is this common for an employer to ask? Should I just tell them I can't afford to do that at all? Ideas? Thoughts?

The job pays $8.75 with no benefits. It sounds weird they want me to pay them so much for these checks right off the bat, but I've never really been employed at a different place than where I have been working for a few years...so what do I know, right? The job is an assistant preschool teacher.

Maybe I've misunderstood? :\ Anybody have experience with this?

Nope, they're definitely scamming you. Any company looking for employers doesn't charge for tests that THEY require you to take. Don't do it, 400$ would take you a few months to earn either way, no point. Personally, I think they're scamming you. No job I've ever heard of asks YOU to pay THEM money.

My best friend just lost her favorite aunt to breast cancer, she knew it was coming but we thought it would be be a year.
My best friend is an amazing girl and she does so much for everyone else; she is the girl that holds you as cry then goes and cries alone in the bathroom. She is amazing and nothing is ever about her, it is about everyone else. She has been a breast cancer advocate ever since her aunt was diagonosed; she buys anything supporting the cause, donates as much as she can and does all the walks.
Her birthday is next week and Iwas planning on scheduling us to get massages together (we are very active and stressed hugh school seniors) but now I am thinking about doing something in honor of her aunt, but I can't think of anything. My budget is $50 but I am willing to do more for a really good idea. So does anyone have a really good idea? =D

Peace and love :)
~Kate

Well recently i was on a site that sells messenger bags and other types of bags, called e-bags.com. you could go there and purchase a bad that's pink, and some of the money is donated to the breast cancer cause. Or if you Google it, you may find a lot of other stores that offer the same kind of deal. Also I'd take her to lunch and do stuff she likes to do.

I lost my virginity about 2 years ago and my boyfriend is still a virgin. We muck around sometimes with nothing on and sometimes he gets a tiny bit of semen on me. He fingers me all the time and the other day he was fingering me and I felt myself become really wet then he pulled his fingers outa few moments later and his hand was covered in blood. It stopped bleeding straight away but I have had a tiny bit of dark brown blood in the last two days since. I'm not due to have my period for another week at least. Could I be pregnant? I'm really scared, why is this happening?

I've heard a lot of stories about girls who bleed after being fingered, it's completely normal. Especially if he had longer finger nails, it could have torn something, but ultimately you're fine. I doubt you're pregnant especially if you guys haven't had sex. I wouldn't worry about it, if you miss your period though, then you should worry. Other than that you're fine.

Hope I helped :)

17/F... Well me and my bf (19) have only been dating like 3-4 months and things are great. we get along and we always have fun together. I'm the second girl he's has ever dated and the only one he has had sex with. He doesn't really like to share how he feels about me or other things that often(but what guy does). So anyway the problem is that im a junior and he's graduating this year. The college he wants to go to is in chicago for two years. And we live in kentucky. He wants me to try to stay together but the only time I will ever get to see him is when I get my breaks at my school and stuff because he goes all year to school and they hardly ever get out. Should I take the risk if that he wont find someone else in chicago?

Well I live in the US and this guy I dated for 2 years lives in Canada. We're really far, but at the time we made it work. We broke up a few months ago and still talk off and on. The heartbreak in the end isn't worth going through months and months of hurt being far away from someone you care about. It's hard, but if you think your relationship can take it, try it out. Be aware that he IS going to be in a new place, with lots of other girls. Everything will be new to him, but ultimately you're the only one who can decide.

Please read this! Ok my name is Farrah and i am a 13 year old girl who is pretty obese. I get embarrased all the time with my friends because they are all skinny. I am tired of being fat!!! Does anyone have anyone good diets easy to make and good. Maybe even some good exercises that are also affordable and easy. Any advice will help and some personal experience would be greatly appreciated! PLEASE HELP! -overweight Farrah

Well I'll give you the basics.

Eat proteins, lots of them (Eggs, protein shakes). People may tell you to stay away from salt, but it's better for you than sugar. Start eating whole grain bread, it doesn't turn to sugar in your stomach like white bread does. If you eat red meats, just make sure to eat a lot of fiber (special granola bars contain fiber and some cereals). Because fiber will help you digest the meat in your stomach, because your body doesn't digest meat in general. Drink A LOT of water, you're supposed to drink about a gallon a day. Get your daily sugar from fruits, not candy. Basically the main things to focus on in your diet are proteins & fibers. Try jogging for 10 minutes a day, and each day make it a few more minutes. My brother does this and he's lost about 14 lbs in two weeks.

Goodluck! :)

so i'm going to get my belly button pierced soon but i'm really not good with pain and needles... iv gotten my ear pierced and that wasn't too bad but how much more does it hurt to get your belly button pierced than your ear??

and is there anything i can take (painkillers) before i get it pierced so that it won't hurt as much?

Pretty much I've heard it's just a little pinch, so painless. A lot of my friends have gotten it done and they say it truly doesn't hurt and they're happy with the outcome. They'll do it with a needle, definitely not a gun. Just make sure to clean it, and it should be fine. Lastly, I've heard piercing your nose is worse than any piercing, and belly button piercings are nothing compared to it.

Hope I helped :)

okay this is kinda long sorry but please i dont know what else to do. okay i love my boyfriend to death and weve been together for over a year. he has cheated on me before and i looked past it. hes hurt me a few times in the past but ive learned to look past it and try to not throw it all away. ive heard something about him before and i just didnt feel like it was enough to break up with him for good. i did however breakup with him until i could just figure things out. Yesturday i heard that he had sex with someone on his senior class trip ( its a weekend .. after their senior prom) we can call her brittany i found out kinda late about it. and i heard that brittany ..her sister told one of my friends. so right off the bat i totally believed he did it but he said he didnt. when he said that he didnt i didnt believe him still. i went to see him for about 10 minutes and decdied to go back to where i was. when i got back i got a call from him saying i talked to brittany and shewill call you herself and tell you i wasnt sure if he would just tell her not to say anything but hes not that close with herbut.. theres always a chance which makes it hard. i told him whatever . i get a call but its not brittany... its from one of his best friends .. ill call her steph. and steph said brittany is a pathological liar ( they dont hate eachother either.. theyre friends) and my boyfriend would tell her if him and brittany really did do something. so now im thinking she can of just said that to but would she risk having brittany mad at her?! i dont know what to belieeve!!pleaassee help! again.. im sorry its longg

I honestly don't think you should have taken him back in the first place. Guys who cheat once, will most likely do it again. He's hurt you as well, what exactly in the relationship is there to keep? You don't want a guy whose going to lie to you, and have you keep questioning the truth. Sometimes the mature thing to do is walk away and move on, as hard as it may be. As long as you keep looking past every bad thing he does, he'll keep doing it. If people are spreading rumors about someone having sex, especially if this person's sister is spreading it, those rumors are most likely true. Don't trust this guy, because any guy who had true feelings for you, wouldn't have cheated on you in the first place.

does anyone know how accurate generic brands of pregnancy tests are? i know first response is pretty much the best, but i bought the walgreens brand that said compare to first response.

In my own experience, very accurate. Walgreen's brand are made to be exactly the same as the ones they are compared to, just cheaper. If you're worried one may be inaccurate, just take a second. There's a very slim chance that two of them will be wrong.

Hi, I asked this question before:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=565105

and I took the advice. Unfortunately, while I was in the kitchen getting some food, I heard my mom's phone ring. I looked at it, and saw she had a new text. I knew I shouldn't be snooping around, but I did. The text was from a guy that read - "Good night my love. I will see you tomorrow. I know you didn't mean what you said."

Should I be worrying NOW?

In all honesty, you're allowed to be worried and allowed to confront your mother. You're part of their family and something like this could tear your family apart. Don't assume anything just yet, simply ask your mom if there's anything you should worry about.

can sex affect a girl's period? Like make it come late or early? I'm not talking about if the girl is pregnant, just sex itself, can it make her period off track or maybe like five days late?

Yes, sometimes it can. In my own experience, after my first time my period was a few weeks to a month late. If you don't use tampons then your body pretty much isn't used to having things be put up there. But a girl's period can be delayed for many other reasons, not just sex. Your period could just be irregular, and come later or earlier than usual.

15/f

okay, so im 15 years old and going into my sophomore year of high school. i have never had a boyfriend nor have i ever been kissed. (i know lame) the reason is i dont understand why. i am not bragging when i say this, but people have told me that i am a very attractive girl even model pretty. i am not heavy either. i guess you could say i am shy. i am not slutty like most girls and i have goals. i really dont understand why i cant get a boyfriend or even a boy to kiss me. i guess im picky i dont know? but every boy i seem to like never likes me back

Honestly, I didn't have my first real boyfriend until the middle of my sophomore year. A lot of really pretty girls I know have never even had boyfriends, and sometimes it can be because guys want girls to come to them, and are shy themselves. I'm sure there are guys interested in you, but at that age guys are still kind of immature. It's not lame to have never been kissed :P it's normal. Boys are confusing and they'll get even more confusing as you get older, but the key with them is you need to take control, not them. So I suggest finding a guy, get to know him, then ask him out. It has nothing to do with you, you'd be surprised how many girls still haven't had boyfriends.

ok, my brother thought he was being 'helpful' by deleting like everything off our computer, & their are a few things i really need back. 1) the paint thing. ... is their any way to re-download that? (the basic paint thing that comes with like all computers i guess, i don't want anything fancy....) 2) all my kodak pictures. all the albums are still showing, but the pictures are like broken in half, any way to get those back :(

thanks, any help would be lovely.

Hey, check your "Recycle Bin" and make sure that everything isn't still in there. IF it is still in there, there's an option to "Restore all Items" click it, and all of your photos, etc will be back onto your computer.
If he deleted everything from the "Recycle Bin" then you can download Paint here: http://www.getpaint.net/ or search for it in Google. The only other thing you can do to get your pictures back are to see if they're still on your camera, or if you backed them up on a disc.

Hope that helped :) Let me know if you have any more questions.
