advice
i really like this guy but if my friends found out they would make fun of me since hes not "our kind". what should i do? =/
Follow your heart. I know, that sounds really lame, but do what makes you happy. If your friends really are your friends, then they'll accept him as who he is. If you really like this guy then I don't think it's fair to yourself to not give it a shot. Hopefully, you'll do what makes you happy, good luck :)
ok i am going to be a freshman and im not even going to try and hide it. i am very freaked out. my older sister says its no biggie but seriously i am a very sesitive person and i cant really handle getting teased or picked on without turning red or becoming insecure about whatever whoever happened to tease me about. and i am going to get lost (we dont get our scheds until the first day).
so does anyone have any advice about what to do on the first day or what NOT to do on the first day? advice with bullies, teachers, or red facedness will be greatly appreciated and rated.
First, that whole bully thing is really just a stereotype of school. A lot of the upperclassmen tried to help me find where to go and were really supportive because they were freshmen once, too. My high school has two different buildings with about 5 floors on each. I got lost only once and it was the second day of school, but the teachers are really cool about it and understand that everything's new to you. The only advice I can give you on teachers is to come prepared to class everyday, even if you're late. Hope I helped :)
I was wondering, why do some people think that moisturizing your vagina after you shave is dangerous? If it is, then why? Thanks.
Well after you shave, you're most likely trying to keep that area slightly dry so that you don't get little red bumps. By adding moisturizer, little red bumps are more likely to appear. Hope I helped :)
hey everyone... im a 15/f && i have been getting bullied since 8th grade by this girl && some of her friends... && this girl in 8th grade started IMing me on the internet and started cussing me out.. && then in 9th grade she got my cell phone number and started prank calling me along with her friends... && she also would say im ugly and i try to hard to fit in... she told me this when i talked to her eariler today!!! i wuz like im not ugly && i don't try to hard to fit in && i don't care what u && yur firiends think of me... but she was like fuuck you && go to hell && don't tell me what to do... do she's going to keep bothering me!! so how should i prevent her from bothering me? i've tried to ignore her && that didn't work... && i've tried standing up for myslelf
Basically just be nice. If she says, "You're ugly," say, "Thanks," and walk away. Pretend like what she says doesn't bother you, eventually she's going to get bored and move on to someone else, I know it may seem like she won't but by you being nice, she'll get really pissed. Trust me, my brother and I go at it all the time and I've been called names before but by saying shit back, it provokes them. Hope it works :)
Hey can someone tell me chats that lots of people go to on AIM? I know of hi, hello, hey, chat..but what other ones are there? Please tell me, I'm bored of the same old ones!!
Well a TON of people leave the word 'Chat' and a space after the word and add the number 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Usually a chat room of about like twenty people will pop up. So when you type in what chat you want to go to it could look like this: Chat 1, Chat 2, Chat 3, etc.
I have a friend that is so wrapped in herself and shes the friend that i feel like i can go to with anything, but all she cares about is herself and shes spoiled in getting her way. i don't want to give up the friendship. so, what do i do???
I guess what you should try to do is remind her that other people in the world aren't as better off as others. Show her something that would make her feel more for others and less about getting what she wants all the time. Sometimes it's really hard to change how a person thinks because that's how they've always thought, it's something that you can't fix but is something you can help lessen. Hope I helped :)
i have blue eyes and brown hair well how can i make my eyes look bigger .. everyone is always saying how pretty my eyes are ... but i want the to stand out more what can i do ? and how can i wear my hair to compliment my eyes && i have really gross eyebrows i hate them they like curl and there wayy long.. HELP PLEASE
Well my advice in order to make your eyes look bigger is make-up. Use colors that compliment your eyes. If you're trying to make your eyes stand out more then I suggest wearing your hair in a pony tail or french braids or something because you don't want to hide your eyes. For your eyebrows, go to your hair stylist and have them waxed or style them how you want and pluck them. Hope I helped :)
My cousin has been masturbating since she was 3 years old. Is that normal? She is 17 now.
Yeah, that's normal. No harm comes from masturbating, as many people say, "Nothing wrong with showing self love."
does your penis get smaller the more you have sex
No lol, it doesn't.
Ok so I have stretch marks all over my stomach because I lost a TON of weight. They're all icky and black because I have darker skin and it's summer and I need to wear my new bikini.
Is there anything I can do because I worked so hard to lose all this weight and fit into my bikini and now I have stretch marks everywhere and they're really visible.
Do you also know a way to get rid of all the flab on my stomach. I have like extra skin over there and I've been doing stretches but I still have all that skin from where my fat used to be... help?
Well the last time I visited my doctor I had a few stretchmarks off to the side of my stomach because I lost a lot of weight. She told me that stretchmarks don't go away but, I doubted her and went looking online. I found that after a while, they start to fade into the same color as your natural skin color. There's not much you can do except wait. And if you have already stopped growing then the skin will probably remain there, some people even have surgery to get it fully removed. If you're still around the age of 15, then once you grow that skin will move to the place where you are growing. Hope I helped a bit :)
ok so i'm not currently single but he was my 1st love and such but we didn't have sex he's 16 i'm 15 we dated for 2 years and were taking a break but then we were thinking about getting back together but then he met someone a girl from a different school and she's a real slut he had sex with her now they broke up he is calling me again and he is telling me that he wants to be my 1st and alll this other stuff and well i still like him he was my 1st love what else is there but to fall for him and i think he just wants to have sex with someone that hasn't had sex yet that would be me what should i do should i continue talking to him or do you think he's useing me just to get sex idk plz get back to me and help thanks alot
I don't know. It seems to me he might just be using you for sex, I mean he had sex with this other girl and then all of a sudden wanted you back. I guess the decision is ultimately up to you, decide if you really love this guy and whether or not giving yourself up to him is the right thing to do, or what you really want. So basically, if you know that this guy will stick around after you have sex and will mean it when he says he loves you and not just say it to get you back into bed, then I say do it. But if you have your doubts, then don't. Hope I helped :)
14/f. ok i dont normaly get tounge tied or anything around guys, even if i like them. but there is one guy i like sooooo much. im different around him, its like when he smiles at me, my face instantly goes red and i forget how to speak. my problem is that i cant ask him out, or even flirt with him for that matter, i get to shy. and trust me, im NOT a naturaly shy person. I dont know what to do. i just cant figure this guy out.
oh did i mention, he is like drop dead gorgous, hes like the hottest guy in my school, in my opinion. [not all the girls like him, some even say he has a big nose, i dont think so]
Yeah, that's definately happened to the best of us. If you really like this guy, then relax. You don't have to be nervous around guys because most of them get equally nervous around us girls. If he smiles at you, smile back. I guess what you really need to do is put yourself in his place--he might like you, and if he does, then he's nervous around you, too. The moment you see him, take a deep breath and forget thinking about it and just do. Smile back and when and if he talks to you, pretend as if you're talking to one of your guy friends or girl friends. Hope I helped :)
I am not a virigin, but for some reason I have bled a couple of times when my boyfriend and I messed around (fingering). It usually hurts when he first starts but then its fine.. but I just feel sore afterwards and bleed a little bit sometimes. Is this bad or normal?
Nothing serious, tons of people have this problem/concern. Sometimes fingernails and such can scratch inside and bleeding will occur, but nothing to worry about. Hope I helped :)
Every morning I wake up with deadly breath and a killer taste in my mouth. Even after I brush my teeth, it's still nasty. I don't know what else to do. Even when I brush my teeth before bed I have this problem. Any ideas on how to fight morning breath? (I had no idea what catagory to put this in!)
Here's some info. that I got off of a site a while back because I was concerned with my bad breath:
brush your teeth for exactly 2 minutes every night
floss
use mouthwash
Hopefully these will help! :)

I have a bump 'down there' but Ive already eliminated possibilities. Its not an STD like genital herpes - Im a virgin. Its not razor burn because I dont shave. It hurts when I touch it and I just noticed it maybe 3 days ago. Its the size of a pimple. Is it possible it could be a pimple? Im worried..What could it be?
Ahah, my problem exactly. I have the same thing going on with me right now and I'm worried sick. I consulted some people on this site and they told me it could be a mole but it sort of looks like blood inside and I've had a pimple 'down there' before and it went away. So, I'm pretty sure what you have is just a pimple, no worries. If it doesn't go away in like 2 or 3 weeks, ask your mom or doctor and they'll know what to do. Hope I helped :)
i have strechmarks on my boobs . and alotta guys know about it . they think its wierd until i explain it to them that they grow to fast!♥are guys just immature
Haha well yeah, some guys are immature. Mostly it's because they've probably been watching porn (or just regular R-rated movies) and see what other girls' boobs look like and they aren't what yours look like. I have the same problem and I bet a lot of other girls do too, nothing to be ashamed about. Hope I helped :)
so is it true that when people have low self esteem that they tell other people that they are ugly just to make themselves feel better?
♥if thats true . theres one girl whos always telling me how ugly i am . well i dont want to sound conceited because im not but i know im pretty . and yeah . but she doesnt think shes pretty and she has told me that before but she acts like shes all that and has to call other ppl names and i guess it makes herself feel good?
♥much love
Yes, that's pretty true. Sometimes it has nothing to do with their self-esteem, sometimes it's just that they're plain mean. This girl may have low self-esteem especially since she, herself, thinks that she is ugly. She might also be making fun of other people because she wants people to be laughing at them and not at her. Hope this helped a bit! :)
I am having arthoscopic knee surgery in a week to repair some ligaments. I am 15 .. this is my first surgery. i am soooo nervous! if any of you have had it, or know someone who has had it, could you maybe tell me what to expect? like, how long on crutches, and how much will it hurt? I'm just soooo nervous. thanks
My cousin, Andrew, who is a year younger than me is alway breaking his bones and getting hurt. He had surgery on his knee, I'm pretty sure, to repair some broken ligaments. I don't know how bad it hurt but he was on crutches for about 6 weeks to 2 months, I know not very good news but I thought it might help.
Good luck with the surgery :)
Well my brothers girlfriend is like, a total whore. And I'm not just saying that. I have a really strong hunch that she also likes my brothers best friend. (Whom I like, but that means nothing.) The other day, he was here, and she came over, even though my brother was sleeping. Then she went out to get ice cream with him, and didn't ask my brother to go. THEN, she asked him to visit her when she goes on vacation, and not my brother. I realize that this shouldn't be any of my business, but I find it ridiculous that he's still with her when she's already cheated on him once. Plus, my older brother who's 9 years older than me told me that he heard some stuff about her from some people that he didn't like too much, and he'd have to have a talk with the other brother. I know they must have had that talk by now, and I know that he looks up to him, but they still haven't broken up. Even if she is on vacation. Really, I just don't know what to do. I need help. I hate the girl and I don't want to kill her, so I need ways to:
1) Not kill her.
2) Get my brother to break up with her.
Once a cheater always a cheater.
A month or so ago I went to get my hair cut and there was this woman there. We were talking about boys and relationships and she told me if you ever found him cheating once, NEVER to take him back because he's just going to do it again, and I agree. I think you should talk to your brother about it. Tell him everything you just told us. Tell him you don't like or trust her and you don't want to see him get hurt.
Good luck = ]
Ok, I am 15 (female) and i have a bf, we like each other alot. But he seems to be very lazy (he is also 15) It seems like he dosn't ever want to spend time w/ me. Is there anything that i can do to make him feel more comfertable around me. Im not really sure what it is, but it seems like all he ever wants to do is eat, and sleep. I see my friends and thier bf's and they all get along really well. I just kinda wanna get stuck out of this rut. Is there anything that i can do?
The best thing that you can do here would be to talk to him about it. Tell him you don't want to sit in the house all day and that you would like to go out or that you want to spend some time with him outside the house either at a movie, dinner, etc. Some guys are just born that way, I guess you just have to try and wake em' up sometimes.
Good luck = ]
