Hi, I am 15 years old and I have been smoking marijuana for two years. I am beginning to feel incredibly guilty about this because my best friend doesn't know about this issue. My only problem is that I don't want to stop. I like it and I have fun doing it. But I feel guilty and I am slowly becoming dependent on it. Please help. Should I tell my friend and try to stop? Or should I keep on doing what I'm doing?

I think you should tell your friend and stop. I've seen marijuana ruin so many of my peers' lives. It's not going to be easy, but definately worth it in the long run.

Here it is. The famous kissing question. I know you are all probably sick of answering this question, but please I'm desperate.
A few weeks ago this boy and I started liking each other. I went over his house,but nothing happened because of a certain reason that has nothing to do wtih this story. anyway, and then the other day he kissed me on the lips, and so soon I'm pretty sure that soon we're probably going to make out. A lot of my friends just said go with the flow, do whatever feels right but is that really it? Can anyone relate me back to there first make out and what happened and how they felt? My guy friends always talk about how when someone is a good kisser, they just want to kiss them over and over again. How do you be a good kisser, liek what qualities does a good kisser have? Please, no one send me links to teen magazines telling you how to kiss. I want the real deal from actual people.
Thank you so much :)

The first time my boyfriend and I kissed, we kept missing each other's lips and just laughed about it (that was my first kiss). Mimic his kiss. Suck and nibble his bottom lip gently. Lightly rub your tounge on the roof of his mouth, gums, and lips.

My boyfriend says the kiss tastes really good when we chew gum. My boyfriend and I pass gum back and forth to each other when we kiss.

I hope this helps:)

Am I the only one alive who thinks it's terrible that kids (13-16) are having sex? I'm only 18, but when I was 13, I was riding my bike and doing karate, not giving blowjobs on the school bus. But thats the norm now, and if you haven't had sex by the time you're 17, you must be ugly or way religeous. What on earth!? Am I the only one disgusted by this trend?

Yes! I feel the same exact way. I am a 16 year old female that has a 17 year old boyfriend. We have been together a year and have yet to do ANYTHING considered sexual. The most we've done is french kiss. Neither of us are very religious. We, however, have morals and have agreed that sex in high school is completely wrong. I still think it's wrong until marriage. I think teenagers should keep their purity for when they are older and truly know what a loving, romatic relationship consists of.

Dream is a very good all girls band you could try (Very poppy). Um, just download some of their music and check it out. They're kinda of an older band from when I was about 12 (that's about four years ago)

Here's their lyrics:

I have been trying to do eyeliner and eyeshadow but it doesn't look good on me.

It's like I have no eyelid when I open my eyes. You can barely see my eyeshadow. I really don't like the whole eyeshadow up to the eyebrows thing.

Any makeup tips for me?

Also my eyebrows are.. horrible. I'm not sure how to fix them. I can't go anywhere to get them done because they are pencil thin. (I have a hair pulling disorder. So I overpluck eyebrows)

And they are okay ish eyebrows.. it's just the outer pieces.. fall over towards my eyes. I dont know how to trim it. Last time I did.. i had theses bald spots..

(I've tried hairsprays/gels to keep it in place, did not work)

I dont know.. is there anyway to sped up the growth of my eyebrows? Or make them look good?

If you can afford it, find a makeup artist in your area. You can find them in beauty salons or makeup counters in the mall. They should show you how to apply your makeup correctly.
There really isn't a way to speed up your eyebrow growth, unfortunately =\.
To trim your eyebrows, take a toothbrush or eyebrow brush and brush your eyebrows up and to a slight angle to the right, and trim very carefully with scissors.

For the top lid, close your eyes and pull the outer corner of your eyelid out (to stretch it) and color the eyeliner as close to the root of your eyelashes as possible.
For the bottom, I color the inside rim. However, makeup artists suggest not to do this since it can cause eye infections and it makes your eye look smaller.

Eyeshadow:
Use two colors if you wish. Use the lighter color on the part covering your eye and the darker color in the crease and on the brow bone.

I'm a 15 year old girl who has a little problem with acne and oil. I wear foundation but it doesn't seem to help too much. I don't want something that looks cakey, but something that will cover the redness and acne and still look natural.
Can someone help me in any way? (whether it's a good face cleanser/toner, a good foundation, or tips on makeup... anything will help.)

To help with the acne and redness, go to a dermatologist. I also had VERY oily/acne prone skin until I started going to a dermatologist. Minocin (prescription antibiotic) worked GREAT for the acne. I also get cortisone injections in a pimple if it is very big (it drastically shrinks the pimple in no time). If these medications sound too extreme, try using a over the counter product that contains 10% benzoyl peroxide (Clearsil Ultra). I use Lancome Teint Idole Ultra foundation, Lancome concealer, and Lancome Powder.

This is kind of nasty...but I think I have a bacterial infection in my vagina. Is there anyways i can get rid of this on my own without having to go to the doctor? And if i do have to go to the doctor will she just look at it real quick or take a long time?

I suggest you go to the doctor. They could give you a more precise diagnosis of the infection and prescribe medicine to make the infection to go away much more quickly. The doctor has seen many cases like yours. It's nothing to be embarassed about with a doctor.

For as long as I can remember my family has been realy srued up.I think that every think that has happind is makeing me depressed, my sister cuts herself and now I almost think I want to cut myself to.I know nothing is going to get better only wores so there is nothin I con do.How can I deel with my family so that i don't end up cuting myself?

I used to cut. It's a very addictive and bad habit to get into. I suggest you write. Once, one of my good friends told me to write notes to the people I was upset/angry at, but never give it to them. She said it really works with getting emotions out.

ok i am a little bit weird and i am the risk taker i do things just because my friends dare me to. do any guys out there find that even a litle bit attractive?

Hm, I'm a little on the weird/silly side and that's how I got my boyfriend, actually. I used to go around in the halls of my high school going "GUINEA PIG" and "DO YOU LIKE BANANAS AND WHIP CREAM?" in a deep voice to guys (I was nicknamed the "guinea pig girl"). This is how my boyfriend noticed me (we've been dating a year now). Plus, he's a really good guy. He doesn't even want to have sex in high school and he just listens to me so well. So, I'd have to say yes, guys do like risk takers and "weird" girls.

okay i really like this boy named adam.. and i think we would be good togetehr and we have a lot in common and talk alot and stuff. but this isnt the problem.. the problem is that not alot of poeple like him. everyone says hes really annoying and stuff. and everyone gives him the cold shoulder. honestly, i dont even know who his goood frineds are reallly. like he has kinda okay frineds. and like usually i wouldnt really care. but now im a freshman in highschool and i dont wanna start out with everyone not liking me becazuse of who i went out with. some of my friends are like oh as long as your happy but my best frined at school doesnt really get along with him. like they are friends but she says he really annoys her. and she tells me i shouldnt get involved with him becauise hes a jerk and stuff and that hes twofaced. hes the biggest sweetheart to me and tells me the cutest things. and i really like him. but i dont know what to do. and if i dont end up with him - how do i tell him that i cant date him because no one likes him!? what do i do!? pleasee help.

I think you should date him regardless of what everyone thinks. It's YOUR relationship, not theirs. As far as the "two faced thing", you need to find this out for yourself. Don't let someone else tell you.

reduced fat peanut butter is a huge part of my diet.
I eat it every morning on whole wheat bread with a bannana.
Is that an okay breakfast?

Very good. Peanut butter has a lot of protein, which fills you up for awhile.
