yesterday was the talent show at our school, and me, and my xbestfriend were both in it, but not together. she went before me, and i was right after her. when i got up on stage i saw her hug the boy i like. i almost choked on a high note. he's not my boyfriend but im still REALLY jealous and REALLY worried he's gonna start liking her. is this normal and what should i do?

I think any girl would react the same way. So I think it's completely normal! If I were you, I would get total payback and flirt with the guy that she likes. Or if you don't know who she likes, then you could always just flirt with the guy that you like to show her that she didn't do anything to piss you off since that's what she probably wanted to do! Don't make her feel like she won and completed her goal to tick you off! Show that you're perfectly fine with what she did and that you could do way better!

I haven't started my lawnmower since last fall. Is there anything I should do to it before I start it up again?

The first thing that came to my mind was oil it. But then again, I don't know much about things like that. But my dad hasn't used his all season and he just used it a few weeks ago without doing anything to it and it worked just fine.

im nice and a sweet guy and all, but i tend to get real mad about little things. i punch holes in my walls and break all kinds of stuff in my room and i even put my head through a window once over a real dumb reason. so what i wanna kno is if i should look sumthin up to calm my anger or to get anger management? (after all im only 14) i just want to stop myself before i end up doin sumthin crazy

Multi-vitamins truly help! Go to GNC or Vitamin World or something! Vitamins do wonders! My mom always gives me this vitamin called Womens Vitamin because I tend to get really bitchy during my period if I don't. But with the vitamins, I'm perfectly normal!

so im going to this party soon..any ideas on how to spice things up with a guy friend of mine without getting turned down? like little hints for him to hook up with me?

Flirt with him a lot. Touch his arm or his shoulder or something casual like that. Tell him that he looks really good tonight. Talk kind of quiet around him so that he has to move in closer to you to hear you. When he does, rest your hand on his shoulder by his next or something. Hope I helped you some!

This is a really dumb question, but idk if it's true.


Is it true you can lose your virginity froma tampon????

Nope. You only lose it when a guy screws you!(=. But I've heard that you can put it in the wrong way and pop your cherry. But I don't think many people consider that losing your virginity!

I really want a boyfriend.All the boys say how ugly I am and that they'd never go out with me! I have brown hair and blonde highlights, brown eyes, a few light freckles, I guess you could say I'm thin, why don't boys like me?? there are girls at my school who look just like what I described and the boys go NUTS for them. It's because they're cheerleaders. I don't want to be a cheerleader, but i want a bf. Should I become a cheerleader?? Can anyone tell me why boys hate me???? I'm not mean to them at all!!!

Everything isn't about looks. It's not about being a chearleader either! It's about your personality and how you treat guys and how you make them feel! Be nice, flirty, and outgoing! Give them sweet compliments! Don't become a chearleader if that's not what you want. Just be nice and friendly and make the guy you like feel good about himself!

Okey, my friend told me to ask this question. She has been shaving her mustach for about a year now..and it looks really bad!! what can she do? she cant wax because she gets rashes and for some reason it doesnt even work..and she cant tweez because there's too much hair. And she cant colour cuz it still shows..any suggestions?

Try that Nair upper lip stuff. You can get it at any drugstore. Or she could continue shaving. Good luck though!!

yah well i really like this guy hu ive been friends with since the 2nd grade. i moved after 6th grade and recently got in tough with him. i really like him. hes so sweet to me and i think he likes me but im not completely sure. im going 2 a movie with him and his friend on thursday, should i be laid beck or try 2 get him to ask me out? i just dont wanna be pushy if he doesnt feel the same way

I think you should be laid back but also flirt with him to see how he responds! Being flirty isn't pushy at all! Just flirt some and see how he reacts. If he doesn't shrug you off or anything, most likely he likes you. Just have fun with him!

Okay, so I'm 14 and I RALLY like this guy on my bus, he's 18 though. He told my friend that he thought I was hot, and I mean he is SAWWOOOONNN!!! I haven't talked to him much, but should I even bother? I mean, I doubt we'd go out, too much of an age difference but should I try to get to know him and stuff? HES SOOO HOT!!!

I think you could definetly get to know him better! But personally, I don't think you should date him. Maybe wait until you're 18 and then it won't be that big of a difference. I know age ain't nothin' but a number, but it just sounds so wrong to me. But I think you two could definetly be friends!

my friend is depressed. she always tells me her problems and itold her to get therapy bcuz it helps and ive been through it. but after i tell her this she always says "see thats why i cant count on you. you never help me with my problems" she always makes me feel so guilty. How can i help her?

Don't tell her that she needs to get professional help. It'll just make her feel like she's crazy. Really be there for her and talk to her. Have deep conversations with her. Be a friend to her and not a parent!

what is the difference between foundation, concealer, and powder. and are u supposed to use all three at once (i have acne) and i rate 5's

You could use all three at once. You don't have to. But I don't reccomend just using foundation or just concealer. Using just powder should be okay though. That's what I do. Concealer is normally used under your eyes to cover up the dark circles or even acne. Foundation just makes you skin glow more and look even (it really helps a lot with acne.) Powder just takes away the shine and makes the oils on your skin totally disapear! Using all three can make your skin look amazing! Since you have acne though, make sure you wash all the makeup off real good so it won't affect your skin! If you don't wash it well, you'll just break out more. You can still use it, but you should use a makeup remover.

I know about cutting and what cutters do..but i watched tv the other day and it showed a girl who snapped a rubber band on her wrist and needed phyciatric help for it...what does a rubber band do and whats the purpos?

It'a an alternative to cutting since it's not as bad as actually getting a knife or any other sharp object. It's the same purpose basically.

I am going on a date tomorrow night...and I just broke out on my forehead and nose! The ones on my forehead aren't that bad, but I would still like to get rid of them. The one on my nose is pretty obvious, however. I have been using the clearasil ultra (that's supposed to get rid of acne in 3 days) about 5 times a day, but it isn't working! Help please I want to look good for my boyfriend (b/c I want to get my first kiss maybe tomorrow)!

Put toothpaste on each little zit. It dries it up. Try putting some makeup on it to cover it. Use concealer on every little zit like the toothpaste and blend it in. Then put some foundation and over that put some pouder on it. But make sure you wash your face extra good tonight and before you you go on your date and before you put on all that makeup!

i have the worst time getting up in the morning. I fall asleep around ten and TRY to wake up at 6:30. my alarm will go off, ill wake up, but then i go back to sleep till 7:15 and miss the bus. Can anybody help me wake up better in the morning?

Drink coffee! Or splash your face with some cold water. Or even just take a shower. That always wakes me up!

Yes ... you do know me...
My boyfriend and I just broke up like ... 2 days ago. When we broke up I was all okay with it and stuff, untill the very next day when I saw how much happier he was. It made me just a tad bit depressed but not really. I've tried to get over him by flirting with this one guy a lot, but that still wont work!! It's just that I keep telling myself that he's gone, and he'll never come back, but then I think about everything we did together, and how much fun I had with him, and I break down. I love him ... and he never gave me enough time to tell him that ...
How am I gonna get over this?

Hey darlin'. I was the same exact same way and I thought I was never going to get over it! But once you find another guy that will show you why it didn't work out with any other guy, then you'll be fine. It'll take some time but you'll get over it sooner or later! You'll find someone that will make you so happy that things didn't work out. Until then, just have fun with some friends and try to keep yourself busy and your mind running. But if you go out with another guy just to keep your mind off of him, it's not going to work. You need to go out with a guy because you really like him and he makes you happpy no matter what!

ive read some questions and most about sex with guys is a little making me uncomfortable. not all guys are horny lil bastards. i dont go looking for sex and all that, i just look for some1 i can relax with and have a good time with, not the first girl that is willing to give it up 4 me. trust me girl when i say this, guys are all talk. they say that with their friends, but if a girl came on to me wanting sex (im a virgin) i wouldnt have a clue what 2 do.

Well thanks for clearing that one up! (=. But you sound really sweet! And any girl would be lucky to have you!!

I have had sex with about 90 guys and the oldest one being 82 i am 14 is this bad and am i a slut. i also like my best friend carolynns boyfriend names john and i really think my friend is a stuck up whore at times but i think john likes me too i really think he needs to break up with her because she cheats on him every night with a different guy one of them named harley and she always says he humps like a rabbit and she had to fake her orgasms and he doesnt deserve that she said she didnt even like him she just felt sorry for him. what should i do

I think when you have to ask if you're slut because you're not sure, then I would consider you a slut. How many 14 year olds do you hear about screwing around with an 82 year old??? And going out with your best friends boyfriend wouldn't make you a very good friend! Who cares if she's cheating on him? That's his problem and not yours and I don't think you should step into the middle of this mess. You could tell him but don't actually do anything with him!



But this question sounds too fucked up to be true.

Now.. don't think I'm a slut or anything but me and my best friend share a boyfriend... and I am attrated to her too... is that a bad thing.. I mean we have done stuff in the past but I don't know if she likes me. should I make a move on her or not. or should i just talk to her and tell her my feelings I mean she is always looking at me in that sexy way and it turns me on everytime.. am I a bi-sexual and should I go for her... please don't be mean because I really need help

Well you sound pretty much bisexual to me. I wouldn't tell her right away. Try giving small hints. You could scare her off if you just go all out. So just give small hints like more touching and things.
