Well i cant talk to my mother about this stuff because its just too wierd. But...

'down there' it looks really wierd and my inner lip or whatever hangs out and is all big and baggy and it sometimes rubs up against my underwear and gets irritated...its just annoying.

and its not like im planning on letting anyone see it for some time....but is this normal? is there anything i can do about it? (link)
Yes it is normal and like the other person said go comando at night and also you might want to consider getting bigger underwear so its more commfier.


Alright, well, my Dog is a Golden Doodle, hes about 10 months old, and has black, longish curly hair. well, we broke the faucet outside, but hes an inside dog. but when we put him outside, and then let him back in, and its like he comes in and drinks too much, and throws up. well, thats what we assumed at first, it was a good theory at first, but we've been keeping him inside, and he just keeps throwing up. well, we live at the border of a park, and theres these big trees, and they drop these pods, I think its a popular tree, the seed pods, teh insides are sticky, and tehy stick ot his fur. my mom thinks hes chewing them out of his fur and eatting them, and getting him sick.

can somebody tell me whats wrong with him??
i'm really worried!! thanks! (link)
He is probally drinking his water too fast you might want to watch him as he drinks his water and tell him to slow down also since he is 10 months then you can get like a bigger thing that like rabbits drink out of and let him drink out of that they can't drink as fast out of it but he would have to learn how to tap it to get it to come out, also it could be the tree pods they could be poisinous make sure when he goes out that he is not eating them and if you see that he is then make sure you say NO in a very firm voice! It is important that he is not eating them!


could my 2 bunnies just live in this inside? instead of only using it to play? and would it be possible to put it together as a rectangle? (link)
Well you might want to make sure that they are 2 boys or 2 girls so you dont have bunnies, and also you can litter box train them so that always works, and also they can stay in a play pen and if your talking about the play pin to put it into a rectangle then it depends on the type of conections and legths that they are, if they cant go to your local pet store and find something that would work for what you need!


Well In my School There are TWO popular Groups.. I am In one of them.. Barley though.. I am not even that popular i dont even know how i managed that. I mean its not like anyone pays attention to me in that group anyways but sometimes they do.. You can basically say that im the least popular in that group.
Well In the other Popular Group Those Girls are like SOOOOOO PRETTY its not even funny I wanna be just like them.. I wouldnt say i am the ugliest out there and i dont think i really am that ugly but they are drop dead they can get any guy they want. ALL The Popular Cute boys are ALWAYS Hugging them and Talking to them and saying how hot they are.. Well i wanna be treated like that too.

So Does anyone have any advice how to be more prettier? Hair styles.. Make up ideas? or like outift ideas. Or like ANyway people would notice me more or like .. LIKE ME!!??
ANYTHING.. I just wanna be just like them.

Please Help it would mean so much to me you have no idea.

Make sure you are more confident! If you are standing in the circle of your group, Make sure you are not on the outside getin the middle and speake up and talk about the things with them. Wear makeup have one of your friends help you or like your mom or somebody that will really help. Get you hair cut and let the person cutting it get something that will really help ou look better, like if you have a rounder face you might want to go sholder legth and then put some layers in it. Also if you are in a class with some of the popular girls then you might want to just go up to them and talk to them, there more friendly then you think. Also they might help you look better. Get involved in groups that they are in and also you might consider having a party and inviting them. Also they might have some issues at first etting you "in" because alot of times the two popular groups fight for that one spot! If you know what I mean. But here is a good website that helps you with things like makeup and hair and getting more attention!, http://www.cosmogirl.com/ (( Also explore the website there are some other interesting things on there too!!))


My sister and her friend (they're 14 years old in middle school) asked me if they could go to a friend's house at 11:00 tonight. I asked them about it, and they said that they would go to a guy's house who's also 14. He lives about a 10 minute walk away from our house. They don't want me to tell our mom.

Basically, I said no. My sister and her friend told me that the guy's parents don't know about it and that they would WALK there. I explained that 2 girls outside at 11pm is very dangerous. So they asked if I could drive them (I'm 16). I said no to that because no parents know about it, and I just don't have a good feeling about it (I don't think they'd have sex, I just think something bad will happen, like get caught).

My sister doesn't understand because earlier this year, I came home from a party because of my 11pm curfew, but I went back to the party til 12am when I found out that my mom was asleep. I think that these are completely different situations: there were parents at the party who knew about the party, my mom was drunk that night so she wouldn't get mad, and I wouldn't be walking.

Did I do the right thing by telling my sister and her friend that they couldn't go tonight? (link)
You did the best thing you could have done by saying no! You are keeping the respect of your parents by being a good sister and watching out for your lil sister and her friend and also worring about what will happen and all. You were deffinantly 100% right! Who cares if they get mad at you they will some day thank you!


im 15 going to be driving next year and my curfew is 11 00. any bringing up of a later curfew to my parents ends in a fight based on who screams and slams their door the loudest. any ideas on how to get my curfew pushed back to a more realistic time say 12 - 1. (link)
In my opinion I see there point of 11 being a good time. After that you can start to get weired people out on the streets and all but they are trying to protect you and you most likely are not seeing where they are comming from. But if you really do not feel that it is fair make sure that everybody is calm and especially you, and dont argue back just be glad it is 11. When I first started to drive mine was 9. Bring it up to the point where they might see your point and try for like 11:30 then 12 and slowly start working it back even if it takes till after you start driving to get it to the point where you wan't it to be. Also there is usually a law for the minors in the town and it is called the curfew you might want to check and see what it is because it might be 11 and that might be why your parents are saying this.


I'm 15/f. I love my mom I really do, but all she does is complain about how unperfect we are. Me and my sister are adopted and it seems like she regrets it everyday. It's always "I've never seen children so iressponsible/filthy/stupid." Me and my sister try we really do. Here's the question: What am I supposed to do if she's never happy with me?

thanks,
tired (link)
Well, you might consider thinking about what your mom is going threw on a daily basis... like is she stressed at work, has someone died that was close to her something that might put her in a form of depression? But that still does not give her the right to do that! I think you need to talk to someone that you are close to but to help your sister say stuff to her like oh I like that out fit or good job if she does something good and it will help her out in this and also she might do it back to you. But I am glad you still really love your mom that is so sweet! Or maybe you should even talk to her and tell her how you feel and tell her about how you still really really love her but the way she has been treating you is really hurting you. Hope this helped and if you ever need someone to talk to please feel free to write me!


My parents have recently told me that they might get divorced. I actually found this as a shock because they used to fight a lot, but the fighting seemed to have stopped. I've been really upset because if they do decide to divorce, than not only will my parents lives be different, so will mine and my 3 younger brothers who have no clue what's going on. Anyway, what kind of stuff happens in a divorce and what should I expect? How can I deal with this? (link)
Well the younger that you are the easier it will be in the future. This is how it is in the USA I don't know where you from. Also it might have changed since I remember going threw it as a kid it was like9 years ago. But the court will decide on what parent you will live with and also the amount of time the other gets to spend with you like the visitation rights. It will be a little odd at first living in a different house with just you mom or dad, but it will all feel normal after a couple months. If you are having alot of problems coping with it talk to your school counsler or you friends and there parents but if you open your eyes there will be alot of people out there willing to talk to you about it and all. But it is a hard thing to go threw and I dont think that there is any thing out there that can totally prepair you for it because it affects some kids alot more than others and all.


We recently found out my dad has a girlfriend and has had her for a few years. My parents are now going thru a divorce and have been for the past two years (since we found out) He says he wants a relationship with my older sister and I but shows us otherwise. He is verbally abusive to us and when living at home he started drinking heavily and started to get physically abusive. I just want to know how to get over not having the man I looked up to my whole life? I am 24 years old and I dont want this to affect anymore of my personal relationships any longer. So if anyone has any advice please let me know how to get over my dad leaving me and how to not let it affect my future relationships? Thanks! (link)
Well I am soooooo sorry! I know what it is like to go threw that. You are 24 so yeah it will be hard but look up to your friends dads or something. Im 23 and I know that me and my moms relationship sucks but I look up to my friends moms and my grandma. So consider looking up to people like that just switch it so it is guys. It shouldnt affect you future relationships if you mean by making a commitment to a girl. Once you find THE ONE, then you will know and also you will learn to respect each other and all. But it gets easyer trust me! But if you need to talk you know where you can find me!


my mom has been seeing her boyfriend for about 2 years now

i love him with all my heart
and he is like the father i never had

well they don't live with each other yet
an i really wish they did
so i called him[ my mom know i called him ] and told him
how i think it would make my mom very happy and less stressed if he moved in or they talk about buying a house and moving in with each other

well he thought for some weird reason
something was wrong with me just because i had a major break down the same day about how i think i am fat and i hate my body but that isnt why i wanted to call him.
anyway he is coming over today to talk to me

he thinks i need someone to talk to
which i dont because i already talked to my mom
and i am in the best mood now

so when he comes what should i say and do?

i mean i thought i explained myself perfectly on the phone (link)
Just say that you talked to your mom and if he really wants to know tell him parts not all but if he want to be that suportive to his girlfriends daughter thats really really GREAT!!!


Hi ! I'm 13 and I want to know...can I divoirce my parents or something god I just want to block them out of my life all together tips advice or suggestions ? (link)
Well, you can not divorse your parents lol. But you can hang out with friends more, stay in your room while you do home work or go to the library or something to get away. When you get really frustrated you might turn away and take some deap breaths. But parents can be frustrating. THey all are at one point or another sorry to breake that to you. I am also going to suggest that maybe you could go spend a weekend with a friend or something! You can always loose alot of stress that way espescially your best friend! THey are always there for you to listen atleast they should be!


I HATE my parents and I want to move out SO badly like if I don't I swear to god I'm going to murder my mom thats how bad she is.I have no family in my area that I can stay with but my friend(boyfriend) said I can move in with him for a while to let things cool down...is it legal for me to do that ? (Kitchener Ontario Canada)

[Ps.I'm 13/female] (link)
Well your 13 so..... Im pretty sure that your parents would not allow you to move out at that age. I think that you need to sit down and have like a heart to heart conversation with your mom! I think that maybe she needs to know how you feel. But I don't think killing her is the right choice! Have you looked at yourself by your parents perspectives at all? Think about how you treat them, how are you doing in school? Have you been getting in trouble alot latley from the shool and or the cops? There are alot of ways that will make parents seem "bad" but they are only trying to pretect YOU. I know that it is rough to live in a place where you do not feel loved but I definantly think that you really need to sit down and talk with your mom. I think it would help alot. IT might clear up a sticky situation and you might add in mom I really like talking with you it helps me feel better, or something along those lines. I might also segeste that you maybe take a weekend and spend it with a friend. But if your mom or dad does not allow it then do not fight back or give them any lip just DROP it. The thing most parents hate most is when our children give us lip to try and persway the answer well that just makes it worse! But I do not think moving out is the best decision to make at all! Especailly with your boyfriend. If you were say 18 then maybe yes but you are 13 and your mom and dad are still you legal gardian! That would mean every time you had to have the leagal gardians signature you would have to go see your mom or dad. Also I do not think that your parents would feel to happy about the fact that their 13 year old moved out. Just hang in there and if you need to talk you know where to find me! Hope I helped some.


im 14 i lost my fist born over the summer and im pregnant again it broke my heart when my daughter died i refuse to get an abortion what can i do (link)
Im 23 and have 2 kids my first I had at 17. I did not have supporting family. But I know how one thing leads to another. With my first I was in high school trying to decide what to do. I knew I wan't going to have an abortion. I had the two decisions.... adoption or rasing. I chose rasing because if you think about it farther down the line in your life you are going to want to know that baby, see that baby grow. I would not have it any other way! THat is me but if you are in certain situations then you probally should put the baby up for adoption. I would also think that you need to be open with every one around. When I was 17 and my mom found out that I was preganant she said if you keep that baby then you are not living here. So there I was in high school pregnant and no place to go. I ended up living with my aunt in another state. But it all worked out in the end. I am now engaged to my babys daddy. When he found out I was moving out of state he freaked. But then we went to the same college together so we stayed together. Then now we just had another one together and he is 4 months old. But there are alot of things to parenting that you don't relize until you have one of your own. I know it can be an emotional roller coaster but hopefully you have a supporting mom and dad to the fact! IBut if you are refusing to have an abortion the best thing for you to do is have that baby and keep it and watch it grow! It is one of the best things in life to see. If you need to talk please feel free to come and talk to me! If you need help with anything ever talk to me please! I know how hard it is to go threw at a young age, but not as young as you but. Keep in the low stress areas and don't freake over little things either!


It is common to have bad dreams in early pregnancy? I think I might be pregnant. My first pregnancy, I had to have a DNC at 10 weeks, I had bad dreams. Is that common? If so, how long does it last? I hate to be scared! hahaha
Not a horror movie fan! (link)
I had them with my baby boy who is now 4 months but I never had them with my baby girl wellshes not really a baby now but, they can last you whole pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant get a test and see also if your boobs are sore your becomming quite the picky eater and also if your lower stomache is having dull pains. Those are sure signs! Hope this helps!


i was just wondering if anyone could help me, how do i get my 1month old gil into a routine? how do i start it off? is she to young to get her into one?
any help would be great

thanks (link)
I tryed to put my first born on a scedual but it is a waste of time untill they are about 6 months old! They are on there own schedual at that age. And yes that means getting up at 3 a.m. to go feed. But it gets better. But like I said before there is no reason to try until they are about 6 months old.


my 15 month old son keeps bittind me and wont stop. ive tried rubbing his gums and give him meds to help with the teeth pain. but everytime i smack him when he bits and say no he just laughs at me and does it again. how can i get him to stop? (link)
My littel girl used to do that but put him in a time out. Then also bite him back too and don't be affraid they will lern but dont do it too hard to leave marks or anything of that.


my whole life my parents were hardly ever on my case about anything. Now im 18 and im trying to get out of the house more. And they dont like it they say im never home to do anything. I work retail 35-40 hours a week and the expect me to come home after work and clean the house & do a million loads of laundry. My mom has a job and she doesnt do much at her job except sit around. But she doesnt come home and clean up anything because she believes that since she works she doesnt have to clean.

i have 2 siblings that are old enough to do luandry and they havent touched the washer or dryer since we moved a year ago.

i bought myself a tracfone with my money and my dad told me i dont deserve it.

i started seeing this guy and my mom tells me that im not aloud to touch him, kiss him, be out late with him, go back to his place. BUt before i turned 18 i was aloud out with every guy that i wanted to be out with.

I feel that im old enough to make my own decisions but my parents arent making life any easier for me. Im so sick of this crap.

please give me some great advice. (link)
I would agree with the person below me about if your not paying rent then you should be helping. But it sounds like they are just having problumes letting there baby go! IF you sit down and look at how much money you have and get a month you might consider getting an apartment with a friend. But as far as the cell phone ignore him because if you are paying for it then it shouldnt matter. If you need to talk feel free to write me!


i am from india.my only child is 2.5 years old.she is quite sensitive and emotional.the boy next door is 3.5 years old and tries to dominate her by snatching her things, shouting and crying if she doesnt give them(otherwise she always does),and whenever he has a chance he tries to hurt her by pulling her hair,kicking her or pushing and pulling her.they seldom play in harmony.the problem is that my daughter does not like to play with anybody else but him and i am left with no other alternative but let her play.but his behaviour angers me.what should i do with him? (link)
It is normal for boys to act like that. But you might consider putting her in a day care or taking her to a babysitter so she can interact with other children. As for his behavior there is really nothing you can do.


This may be a bit long. Bear with me.

There have been quite a few times my boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex. Well my period is usually like clockwork and right now I'm 10 days late.

Well when I was, I think, 5 days late I went to the doctor and had a pregnancy test done. It was negative. The doctor did say the tests weren't 100% accurate, so that didn't help me out at all.

Well now, I'm 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test last night (The Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy Test) and it came back Not Pregnant. I'm still not sure if this thing is right though. Friends of mine said, even though they were like 8 weeks along, tests would still show them as not pregnant. Has anyone else had this happen before?

Lately, I've been having these dull pains in my stomach lately, and sometimes they're really sharp. (Not like cramps at all). I've also been having a lot of discharge (sorry if that's TMI). I actually thought my period had shown up one morning but wasn't the case. My boobs are also sore, especially around the outside and I keep burping a lot (even though I only drink water). My appetite has increased greatly, but I always feel nauseous after I eat. It's strange. I'm not sure what's going on.

Could someone please help me?

Also, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test?

Thanks.

The best time to take a test is in the morning. But you have alot of the symtoms that show that you could very well be pregnant. Also if you are craving certain foods that you have never eaten before or if one food you have always loved just grosses you out. But it really does sound like it. When I was pregnant with my 1st I took 3 doctor tests that were negitive and I dont know how many store bought ones before I found out I was. I think I was like 2 months pregnant when I finally knew or not. Even though I was pretty sure that I was missing 2 periods and all. But keep seeing it can be a mystery! Good Luck!


Hi,what determines the sex of the baby? Is it anything about the parents or how old/young the parents are?
Thanks (link)
It does not matter on the age. I had my youngest baby when I was 17 and she was a girl then now Im 23 and had a boy 4 months ago. But it is really just the luck of the draw!!
