i got my period for the 4th month at the beginning of november. the very beginning. so i had it for like a 5 days. 2 days later i got it again and i still have it now heavy as ever. is this normal? it sucks so much nd i have used SO many pads!!! (link)
| |
it's okay, periods are always weird in the beginning. takes 12-18 months (or even longer) for them to get normal. now, if your periods get unbelievably abnormal, like the cramps are incredibly painful, you bleed so much you have to change your pad ten times a day, and the periods keep happening a few days apart - then see a doctor, they'll give you stuff to balance your hormones. but you should be fine, doesn't sound like you have a problem.

I have a question about my friend. Well I guess you could say she is one of my best friends.
Well we had made plans tonight to rent and movie and then watch it at her appartment. She told me to arrive by 8 o clock. Well she phoned me at 5 and I wasnt dressed or anything yet. She asked me if I could do her a favour. I said "sure" before I knew what I was in for. Well it turned out she had put an add in the paper to sell two of her cats (she has 5). She told me that the girl buying the cats needed a ride home and could I do it because she (my friend) doesnt have a car. I was a little annoyed because I wasnt ready and she needed me there right away. Well being the loyal friend I was I showed up and one of the cats had escaped from its carrier, and then my friend made me chase around the house for the cat instead of her doing it! We finally caught her and then I had to load up my car with both the cats and their toys. Now heres the kicker: After I loaded up my car with all the cats and toys, I said to my friend "your'e coming with me right"? After all I didnt want to drive a complete stranger somewhere in my car all by myself, I would want my friend to come with me. Also, we still needed to rent the movie. Then she says "no, I'm not coming! So I had to drive this person to her house (who was extremely rude to me by the way). Then I had to rent the movie by myself!! When I finally got back to my friends by around 6 and all she could talk about was how sad she was that she had to give up her cats!!! She finally noticed that I looked upset and asked me what was wrong. I told her the girl I had to drive home was rude (but didnt mention I was more angry at her).
My question is, I am overeacting, or was that a really shitty thing that my "friend" did to me? (link)
| |
no, you're not overreacting, that's a very shitty thing she did. lesser things have made me distance myself from certain people. incidents like that just tell you that this is not a good person to be friends with. just let her know subtly you're upset, and then next time you plan to hang out with her, keep this incident in mind.

There's this girl who I used to really care about, but am no longer close to. She calls me out of the blue, after LSU lost to Georgia so I'm already pissed. She tells me that her baby sister who was just a few months old died of SIDS. Even though I really don't like this girl anymore(ok I hate her), I still feel awful for her family. Her family never did me wrong and I was wondering how I should go about the situation. A card? Flowers? I really don't know,b/c I haven't been around death that much. (link)
| |
a card would be nice, write something simple like "truly sorry to hear about your loss, i hope you and your family are holding up okay, sincerely, X" flowers might be too much. just give her a hug/pat on the back/"i'm sorry" when you see her.

Where can I find cell phone covers ? (link)
| |
depends on the kind of phone you have. if it's popular, you'll be able to find it at the mall. if it's somthing a bit unusual (like my "siemens"), i'd recommend searching on e-bay, or just look it up on froogle. and you might want to do that either way, because that's usually a bit cheaper and there might be more covers to choose from.
|
I am confused. I am a Christian, and I am trying to figure out, well, what "kind" of Christian to be, like a Catholic, Baptist, etc etc.
My question is, what religion are you, Christian-wise (I have nothing against other religions, I promise!), and why? What are some of your beliefs? Thanks! (link)
|
first of, you don't have to belong to any church, you can just believe in god and be non-denominational. but if you really want to be a part of one, just go to different churches and see for yourself how you feel about them, maybe ask your christian friends if they could take you to their churches sometime. talk to the ministers of those churches, and finally choose the church that feels most comfortable to you. i think a hands-on experience is the best way to go because if you just ask people, everyone'll tell you they love their religion.
but just to answer your question directly, i'm eastern orthodox, which isn't too popular among americans so i won't tell u about it, but you can ask me if you really wanna know. not all of my beliefs go along with what my church says, but it's ok because i like the atmosphere =)

recently moved far from where i have lived most of my life. i liked this guy, and he liked me. (i was 15 he was 17.) we told eachother about 3 weeks before i left. we didn't talk too much, i never went out with him or anything and we never did anything. still, i cannot get him out of my head! i'm seriously always thinking about him, and nothing else, just him. and how i want to be with him so bad. we never really talk anymore, except sometimes he'll leave me a comment on my myspace, but that's all. so i guess what im asking is, is this normal? and how can i stop thinking about him constantly, or is this good because i'm in love? i think he might still like me, but i have no idea! please help me. i'm so confused.

no, silly, you're not in love, and yea it's normal. it's just a crush. sometimes crushes get worse when you don't see someone for a long time, sometimes they go away right away, but eventially they'll be gone either way. seeing him again might help - you might realize that you were mistaken about your feelings and it'll be easier to get over him. if that's not possibe or you don't think that'll help... jusy try going out with other guys, that's all i can advise. maybe you'll get a new crush and forget about the other guy.

I am in the 10th grade and I am already recieving intrest letters. The problem is that I have no IDEA what I want to do in life. I was once thinking about majoring in psychology, but I have no iDEA, can someone please Help me (link)
|
okay, i'm in college now, and i remember i was also very stressed about trying to figure out what i want to do. but here's what i have realized since then: very few people know what they want to do until they actually start going to college, and those who say they do, will most likely change their major a hundred times. so don't worry, you're not alone.
in college, you can usually have an "undeclared major" the first one or two years, which just means that you will be taking the basic courses plus some electives that might help you figure out what it is that you like. also, think of the bigger categories, like science/business/liberal arts/fine arts/education/law. rule out the ones you definitely don't like, and think which ones interest you more, then look for universities that have the best colleges for that area.
anyway, don't worry, it'll come to you. for now, just keep exploring the different possibilities, figure out your priorities in a job, and don't get stressed out =)

Hey, i have a girlfriend who i will be going out with for about 3 months on Xmas. I was wonderin if any of yall had any romantic ideas? not gift wise, but like something to do? im 17 shes 16. (link)
|
tinkerbell gave a pretty good advice there. i'd say definitely a make-out and/or gift exchange in front of the fireplace or underneath a mistletoe, hot cocoa or eggnog, lit candles... then a late night walk on the christmas-decorated streets, which would be even more romantic if it snows, she can cuddle up to you to stay warm =)
hope that helped ~*~
edit:
lol, me too, i meant if it snows i your state. and hey, you never know - it snowed here last year =)

Okay...I've had my period for exactly 2 years as of December 5. I want to use tampons, and I know how to put them in and all the dangers. But I have a few other questions:
Does it hurt going in/while its in/coming out?
What is an appropriate size?
What exactly does Toxic Shock Sydrome do to your body?
How do you know that you have TSS?
I rate. (link)
|
it doesnt really hurt, but the first couple of times feel uncomfortable. i wasted about half the box trying to put them in the first time, because it just didn't feel like they culd go any further. (i would've given up, but i was on the swimming team and waay too embarrased to ask my coach.) just keep pushing it in until it suddenly feels comforable - that's when it's inside.
while it's in, you barely feel it, or, ideally, you don't feel it at all. after 2-3 times, inserting the tampon doesn't take any effort and doesn't cause any discomfort. pulling it out doesn't hurt either, but there's some resistence because the tampon has absorbed liquid and became much bigger.
the answers to your questions about TSS can be found on the instructions sheet to any tampons, so just make sure to read it very closely.
|
Ok..i saw the advice you gave the girl that had her period at work..and why would you tell her she could put a tampon in for 6 hours?!...its 3-4...Heard of TSS?...get your facts rite before givin ANY advice
Luv,Tay (link)
|
ok, just to make sure, i read the instructions on my tampons:
"...you should change your tampon at least every 4 to 6 hours to reduce the risk of TSS"
ok, so i should have said "up to 6 hours," but it's not 3-4. and you won't get TSS if you keep it in for longer.

me and my bf arent sexually active even tho i want to be cuz i was wiht my last bf. i did it cuz i thought i loved him. i didnt. i know i love my bf now. after such a long relationship i just wanta take it to a new level. i want to be with him in new ways. i wnat to share that wiht him. how do i tho. and... here's where it gets hard. were both grounded for a party we were at and he lives a 1/2 hour away. we r never alone. what can i do. (link)
| |
well, i like your attitude because you don't just want to have sex b/c it feels good, but you want to be more connected to your boyfriend. just ask him how he feels about sex and has ever had it before and then tell him that you feel that your relationship is mature enough for that. as for the place part, i think it'll be easier to figure out once you're both ungrounded and once you talk to him.

I have my period and I need to work from 10-4. This isn't a problem in school because I can put pads in my backpack - no big deal. But at work I don't know what to do. If I put it in my purse that's no good, my purse gets left in an office that's not near the bathroom. any other ideas? thanks! (link)
|
use tampons - you can keep them in for six hours. for backup, buy those light pantiliners (like "always" thin) and put a couple in your pocket - they're practically invisible. or you can just go by the office and grab your purse - it's not embarrasing, it's normal for girls to go to the restroom with our purses - to put our makeup or hairspray on, for lotion or deodorant, or to use our pads.
**EDIT: okay, i'm sorry, i wrote "for 6 hours," but i should have said "for up to 6 hours." sorry.

I AM IN MY LATE TEENS. NOW I CANT REMEMBER IF I PUT A TAMPON IN OR NOT. THEIR IS NO STRING. I HAVE HAD INTERCOURSE SINCE. is it true that a salt water bath will just make it slide out. i cannot check myself as my nails are long!!!! (link)
| |
don't be too worried, the toxic shock syndrome is a very rare thing, especially now that they put all sorts of antibiotics in the tampon to prevent it. i know a person who had a tampon stuck, it came out on its own in a couple of days and nothing happened to her. and if you're really worried, then do you really like your nails that much? trim them and then check. maybe you didn't put in a tampon at all.

Okay, im only 14 and i wanna have a baby SO bad. My parents dont really love me((ive been told)) so i think this would help me alot. i've babysat for YEARS and LOVE children. I wanna feel loved when i come home and a baby would do that, and i think teen moms are closer to their kids. I plan on gettin pregnant in 10th or 11th grade.Am i making a mistake by wanting to do this. (link)
| |
becoming a teen mom can rarely help you solve anything. first of, once you have the baby, it won't seem as awesome as it does now. do you really want to drop out of school? and how are you gonna take care of it? if you can't take care of the child and your parents don't want to help you, your baby may be taken away from you. think about the father: will you completely exclude the guy? will your child grow up without a father, if so would that be a good thing? there's a reason why people usually try to wait to get pregnant - they want to give better opportunities to their child. they want to be educated and have the money to grow a kid, they want the child to have both parents, and they just want to be mature enough to be a parent. my brother and his wife became teen parents eight years ago, let me tell you he's one miserable guy. he loves his child to death, but he never got the chance to get a higher education, he doesn't live with the person he loves and he had to give up his childhood way too early. do you really want to do that?

You know them free offer ad's where you have to hit something and then they say you get something free. Do they really work has anyone here ever tried them and they actually got a laptop, or ipod from them or are they just a scam ?
Thanks Alot. I'll rate 5's! (link)
| |
it's not necessarily a virus, but it's not reliable. the thing's never really free (that's why the word free usually has a * next to it), you have to do a bunch of shit for it, answer questions and get your friends to do it too, and when you're finished you're never really guaranteed to get the thing. my advice: don't bother.
|
well i get really depressed and at school everbody thinks im fine because i front this fake smile and this happy person but deep down inside i really hate myself, my life, my family and everything!!! i act fake for my family too! does anybody have and ideas to help me?? > ( i dont want my family to find out)
also i cut, pop pills and write poemss about sucide and death!
PLZ PLZ PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (link)

the question is: WHY are you unhappy? im sure you don't really know it yourself, but try to analyze it. the best way to do that is to write. i don't know if you write a diary or an online journal, but it would help trumendously. just write about your feelings and thoughts. then try to think: what is it that makes you unhappy? is it your family? yourself? your friends? school? your past? i know it seems like you hate everything in life, but in reality there must be one problem that's causing all the rest. that's what therapists actually do - they help you find out what your problem is. once you realize what it is, analyze further - why does it bother you? is there anything you can change about your life that might help the problem?
this is not really helpful, i know... but if you don't plan to see a therapist, the best way to substitute that is to write you thoughts down and analyze your feelings.

Other than a dictionary definition, without using the word to define it, can anyone explain what truth really is? Thanks in advance, will rate 4 or higher. (link)
|
truth is the non-existent form of reality that should be percieved by everyone in the same way. but, it doesn't really exist because everyone percieves the world differently. therefore, when we say the word "truth," what we actually mean is our real perception of something.
hmm, my answer doesn't seem to make a lot of sence...

i am 13/f and my parents have been divorced since i was 2...i live with my mom on weekdays and every other weekend i go to my dads house and spend the night...my mom is remarried and my dad has i g/f that i really like...well last friday was my party so i didnt go to my dads on his weekend. on saturday morning i called my dad and he didnt want to come pick me up..when i got there (from my mom) his g/f was over and they had slept together...my dad asked me if i thought he was a bad person... so i have 2 questions-
1. should i tell my mom about her sleeping over there...becasue i dont really want to go to my dads and if my mom hears i wont have to spend the night at my dads.
2. is it mean for me to not want to go to my dads house...the age is 13 when you get to choose if you go or not but i dont know if i should go.
Sorry it was so long..i will rate high! (link)
| |
just think about whether you like being at your dad's or not. also, think how it'll make him feel if you say you don't want to visit him anymore. does he like having you at his house? the incident you descrbed seems quite unpleasant for you, but people make mistakes. he may have preferred to be with his gf rather than pick you up once, but it doesn't mean he doesn't want to have you over. talk to him about how it made you feel before telling your mom about it. it's not mean to be upset about this, but it would be wise to take into consideration your dad's feelings.
