Sigh. Verne Troyer (AKA Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies) married a Playboy model or something. That was like...what, a 4 foot difference? THAT was weird.

No, it is not weird or wrong if you're a couple of inches taller than your boyfriend. What's wrong is immediately rejecting a person over something like a miniscule height difference.

I mean, some people think that the guy should be taller than the girl, but that's just their opinion. If you like a guy and he isn't a douchebag, date him. Give it time. And if his height REALLY bothers YOU (and not people around you), then you may want to break it off.

Well, does it really MATTER? Unless you're currently dating one of them, I'd say forget about which one of them it was. If you want to know to warn others...don't. It's not your place to go around talking about other people's medical history. It's their and their partner's business.

Anyway, if you are currently seeing someone, and if you think you MAY have a disease, get tested immediately. Any other course of action isn't fair to the person, and by not telling them, you are no better than the person who may have infected you.

If you ARE seeing someone, you should talk about it and go get tested together. If you two are going to be having sex, you have a right to know if he's healthy and he has a right to know if you're healthy. Drop by a free clinic. I'm pretty sure they don't charge for tests.

He got an email telling him he had STDs....? Interesting. I hope that your exboyfriend isn't an idiot and this wasn't some sort of stupid chain letter ("forward this to at least 5 people or u will get aids lolllllllllllll!").

But anyway:

1) Ever heard of doctor-patient confidentiality? It's ILLEGAL for them to give out patient information (Unless, of course, he's a minor. Then they can tell his parents if they are present). Psychologists aren't even allowed to say that Mr. So-and-so is their patient. I'm pretty sure that that's what happened when you called and asked if he was a patient.

2) You have a right to KNOW. This is your goddamn body, and some diseases stay with you for the rest of your LIFE. I'm not saying that he definitely has STDs, but his story doesn't add up. What reasons could he possibly have for making this shit up?

However, I don't know why you should give a shit about your ex boyfriend's medical history and his trust. If you think you may have gotten any diseases from him, see a doctor. Don't bother asking him. He's already making up stupid shit. Just cut out the middle man and get yourself tested.

Barnard. [www.barnard.edu] This is a great school, but hard to get into. Also an all-girls school. On the plus side, it is right across the street from Columbia, where Barnard students can take classes.

Speaking of Columbia, [columbia.edu] they have a psych major as well. Being an Ivy, it's RIDICULOUSLY hard to get into. However, I'd still recommend applying. You never know (especially if you're a minority). The campus is absolutely beautiful and one of my teachers studied psych there and loved it.

CUNY Brooklyn College [www.brooklyn.cuny.edu]

CUNY CSI. [www.csi.cuny.edu]

CUNY Baruch [www.baruch.cuny.edu]

CUNY Hunter [www.hunter.cuny.edu]

CUNY CCNY

... pretty much all the CUNYs offer psychology, really. I would recommend looking into Hunter (it's a great school, even if it's a city college). All the CUNYs are ridiculously easy to get into. I know someone with a 77 average that got into all the CUNYs she applied to.

I would recommend looking into the Macaulay Honors Program and seeing if they offer a psychology major. This is a great program; if you've never heard of it, it is an honors program at some CUNY schools. You study at your school of choice, take advanced classes, but you also pretty much get PAID to go to school (an annual $1500 check, i believe), and you get a Macbook. The application is extremely easy to fill out (there's two essays, but it's no big deal) and I would say it's definitely worth it. The downside to applying here is that you can only pick ONE CUNY school to apply to (this is because not all Macaulay schools offer the same majors). When you apply, in February they let you know if you made it into your CUNY school of choice. If you have, they consider you for the honors program and let you know in March. If not, you can still attend the school and get your psych degree.

NYU also offers psychology. I can't comment on how hard it is to get into because that depends on the particular school you apply to. For example, only 50% - 75% of kids in my school got into NYU Stern, but EVERYONE got into NYU Poly.

St. John's University.

SUNY Stony Brook. Also ridiculously easy to get into. This, along with SUNY Binghamton, was the safety school for everyone I know. They do have an honors program, however. And they accept the National Merit Scholarship.

These aren't ALL of the schools in NYC. Because in NYC there is some sort of school every couple of blocks (on downtown Broadway, the High School of Economics and Finance is right across the street from some other high school). If you want to look into more, take a look at http://www.collegeboard.com/

Scroll to where it says "COLLEGE SEARCH" and click on "find your match". Fill out the fields (you don't have to fill them all out, just the ones important to you - like the major, location, etc) and press "view results".

I'd also recommend speaking to a college / guidance counselor. They tend to know a LOT about which colleges will offer you the best programs for the major you're looking for.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Visit your local health clinic and talk to them. They'll hook you up without your mommy and daddy around.

And if you're having sex, birth control is a MUST.

But know that it's not free. There's a monthly fee; the price varies depending on the brand.

That is completely impossible. Sperm does NOT live that long...maybe a couple of hours at MOST.

And besides, even if someone had sex on that bed five minutes ago, it wouldn't be enough for you to just SIT on it. The sperm would have to make its way INTO and up your vagina. Of course, shit happens, and if you're an extremely unlucky person, you may get pregnant. But the chances are slim to none.

Anyway, you don't have anything to worry about.

... How did you not notice he didn't have balls when you two had sex? Did you do it in the dark or something?

The ONLY way for him to not get you pregnant without any sort of protection is
a) he has no testicles
b) he is infertile

Other than that, don't believe him. Maybe by some grace of god he can stop himself from cumming, but precum can still get you pregnant and he has no control over that whatsoever.

Get a condom. Honestly, I don't understand why this is so difficult for teenagers these days to grasp.

Oh my god. First of all, PLEASE don't type like that. I cannot imagine why you would go the extra mile to make your sentences LESS legible.

But anyway,what the hell? Either your "dream" guy is a complete idiot or far too young to understand what a real relationship is [i'm guessing it's the latter].

Obviously he just wants to get as many chicks as possible, and he's just telling you he cares about you so you'll stick around. I mean, think about it. It bothers you that he's with other girls. If you were in his shoes, if someone you cared about didn't want you sleeping around, would you still do it, even if it meant hurting them? No. AND he broke up with you to sleep around. Nobody in their right mind would do that if they TRULY cared for their boyfriend/girlfriend.

A relationship is a compromise. You have to give up some of your wants and rights so both of you will be happy. And seeing other people is usually one of them.

Don't buy this bullshit. He's a stupid horny teenager. Forget about him. He's not worth your time if he doesn't even take your feelings into consideration.

Hey. I'm sorry to hear that, but honestly, I think you should forget about him and move on.

I know what it's like to like somebody and have to forget about them. It's hard, but it's the best thing for you to do. Why?

1) He has a girlfriend. It's never a good idea to just wait around for someone to break off their current relationship. Besides, if he liked you enough, wouldn't he have done it already?

2) He's CHEATING on his current girlfriend. Old habits die hard. Don't assume that he's going to suddenly be extremely faithful to you. I mean, honestly. If he DOES end up going out with you, the second he's "unhappy" he'll just cheat on you. Do you really want that?

I think it's in your best interest to just put him out of your mind. You deserve better.

I don't think it makes your hair grow any faster.

I have bangs; I have to cut them EXTREMELY often or they'll get in my eyes. I cut the rest of my hair every couple of months or so. And my hair grows at the exact same pace as my bangs, even though I cut my bangs more often. (I also dye my hair, so I looked at the roots, where my natural color is. If my bangs did, in fact, grow faster, the section of natural hair color at my roots would be longer than the one at the rest of my hair)

They tell you to trim your hair often so it'll get rid of any split ends you may have.

I don't know where the number 16 came from.

Legally, as long as you're both under 18 or both over 18 it's fine.

But I can think of why it's important to be old enough. Not like "ONCE YOU TURN 16, YOU ARE MATURE ENOUGH." It's not like that. Adults think you should wait to have sex because when you're older, you're more likely to be aware of the ramifications.

Think about it. DO you really know all the possible consequences? Not just "i can get pregnant lol", but every other possible outcome? STDs, infections, etc.? You shouldn't have sex until you KNOW what diseases you can get from it. Because if you do get it, it can be too late.

Are you aware of any contraceptive methods? Are you prepared to deal with what will happen if your method of contraception FAILS? What if you get pregnant? Do you have a backup plan? If not, can you support a child?

Anyway, sorry if I went into Lecture Mode, but that's about it. You shouldn't tack a date and time onto when you should start having sex. And you also shouldn't do it just because your friends are. It's a matter of whether you're ready or not (mentally & physically), and whether you know enough about it and the consequences. it doesn't matter how OLD you are; numbers are meaningless. it's a matter of maturity.

Well, I think first of all, this depends on people's religions / beliefs about whether or not people actually have souls. Christians, catholics, etc., believe so. It also depends on if you believe in fate or not.

Personally, I don't think humans have souls just because I don't think any other living creature does. Does the mosquito buzzing around your ear have a soul? Does the plant on your windowsill? I think human beings aren't any more or less special than other living being on this planet. So why should we have a soul if other creatures don't?

Also, I don't believe in fate, either. Again, taking the scientific approach, I dont' really think I have a purpose that I have to carry out in this world; there's just my goals and my plans for carrying them wihle balancing family, friends, etc.

So no, I don't believe in soul mates.

I think that "the one" is whoever you tihnk it is at the time. It's someone that will know who you are and love you for exactly that reason, and someone you will love for who they are.

You know how, when you have your first crush on a person, you just think about how wonderful they are and kind of push the bad things to the side?

I think that if you REALLY have "the one", you're AWARE of their negatives, because we all have some bad traits, but you know that they're worth staying with despite that, because their positives are amazing. And both those negatives & positives are what make the two of you GREAT together.

I think you have a right to be where you want to be.

Yes, homesickness is something we all have to deal with and you should give yourself time, see if you can adjust to the new environment. But if you HAVE given yourself time and it's just not working otu for you, then go back to India. I don't understand why people would laugh at you. You're an adult and you have a right to live where you want to.

I don't think it's a problem at all. If he's a great guy, why should his height matter? Also, personally, I only think it looks weird when the girl is taller than the guy (I'm not saying this would be a deal-breaker, just that it looks kind of awkward).

Also, there are many advantages to being shorter (You even mentioned some in your question!).

My boyfriend is only an inch taller than me. So I can't wear heels without looking like a giant next to him! And he can't pick me up for too long (tall people tend to weigh more than short people).

Don't worry about people making fun of you. If they would laugh at someone about something like height (and it's not a SERIOUS height issue, either), they're idiots.

Don't make decisions about your life based on what other people think. If you're happy, why should you risk that happiness?

Whoever told you that is a complete idiot.

Not only is it NOT going to protect you from getting pregnant, but it will BURN. Soap and shampoo does not belong in your vagina.

Get a condom. Take a health class.

- study at a desk. I learned this in my psychology class. If your study area & conditions resemble the test location, you'll be more likely to recall facts.

- minimize distractions. don't study with music blaring, facebook open on your computer, your little siblings yelling in the background.

- i've found that rewriting notes and making outlines helps get facts into my head. also, you may want to stop reading, look away from the book, and try to summarize what you've just read.

- don't cram / pull allnighters. there's too much pressure, and if you DO learn something, it'll vanish from your head within a day or two. You need at least 8 hours of sleep for your brain tof ully commit to memory what you've learned in the previous day.

- ever heard of the primacy / recency effect? (i also learned this in psychology :p ) The earliest and last parts of a unit will be more memorable to you. So if you have a VERY long chapter to study, dont' study all of it at once, because chances are that you will not remember the middle fo the chapter. Break it up into smaller sections that you study over a period of days.

I would start small. Get a friend you can trust to go shopping with you and make sure they watch you at ALL times and stop you if you try to steal.

Don't go shopping for a while. Maybe jsut avoiding stores for a month or two may help you?

If not, and you have full-fledged kleptomania, you're going to have to seek help. a guidance counselor, a parent, somebody.

This happened to me. That virus messed up my entire computer. The only way I was able to get around the Google redirect crap was to copy the link and paste it into the browser ):

I used MalwareBytes to kill the 2010 thing, but even after that, viruses kept pouring in. I got a free trial of Kaspersky, and it kept detecting virus after virus.

It didn't completely go away until I reinstalled Windows. ):

I think it really depends on what you look like; different hairstyles suit different people. Like I have a roundish face, so really short hair makes me look like crap.

So you should talk to a hair stylist or someone who knows hair. See if they can suggest a good style for you.

(personally, I like long hair.)

Also, what do you want to suggest with your haircut? Short hair often makes people look older, long hair, younger. However, both lengths can make you look very sophisticated depending on the style you wear it in.

Glasses will not correct your vision OR make it worse. They're jsut there to help you see clearly.

[If you dont' give a crap about the 'scientific' explanation, skip this paragraph] It's because when you dont'see clearly anymore, either the light entering your eyes is converging before it hits the retina (nearsighted) or it reaches your retina before converging (farsighted). what glasses do is make the light converge in the proper spot, which allows you to see clearly.\

because glasses do not change anythign IN your eye (they just change the direction of light before it enters your eye), their vision-correcting power only lasts as long as you're wearing the glasses.

Fun facts:

I am a champion procrastinator.

My hair has been every color of the rainbow.

I like art. In a perfect world, I'd be an illustrator or graphic designer. But in this world, I'm probably going to end up an engineer or an architect.

I tend to be pretty blunt. If you don't like it, too bad.

I have more piercings than I can be bothered to keep track of. They're all on my ears.

Oscar Wilde is awesome.

Julian Beever is awesome.

Hans Zimmer is awesome.
