about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.

I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

Why does it hurt more to take out a tampon when it hasn't soaked up enough blood??

Because parts of it are still dry. You're either not leaving it in long enough OR you're using an absorbency that's too much for your flow. Try using a smaller flow than what you already have, or leave it in longer.

Hello. This is an odd question, but are you allowed to upload a picture in the 'upload a picture of you' section on the profile settings that ISN'T of you? For example, a picture of a cartoon character or maybe your family pet? I'm just being cautious of what I post in that picture since I cannot get a hold of a photo of myself.

You can upload anything you want as long as it isn't inappropriate or of someone else.

I am new to this whole sex thing.. And I am noty really sure what I am supposed to do. I kno they say girls sceam and moan, but yeah. I am shy and I don't wanna mess anything up... But I don't wanna just lay there. What should I do??

- Confused Loser-

If you're unsure about what you're supposed to be doing, don't even have sex. You should wait until you're older. You sound young.

Hey I'm 14/m and i still haven't ever kissed a girl outside my family.... I feel kinda out of place here because I'm already in high school and ive never kissed.... is there something wrong with me?

Nope, it's perfectly normal. :) Don't worry, your first kiss will come soon!

What is a GOOD product like nair or that kind of thing that I can use for my bikini line? and is it safe to use everywhere down there or no?

Like the person below said, Veet is a good product that's similar to Nair.

As with Nair, you can use it on your bikini line, and your legs and such. It's safe. They wouldn't sell it for that particular area if it wasn't approved by the FDA. :)

Im 13.9 years old and I rarely get a girl friend. I have made out before. I think it's because Im a tinny bit overwhieght , Im 5'3 and whiegh 145, Is this the reason , I am normal , I hang around with all the popular guys.

Actually, for your height and weight, you're really not that big. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If girls don't like you because of your size, then they're shallow & don't deserve you anyways.

im 14/f. I feel very self conscious about my body, i have really small breast and i dont like to wear regular shirts i want to be able to wear cute shirts but i cant, im always wearing sweat shirts and summer is coming soon. Do you have know what i can do to make my boobs grow faster? Im a size A36 and everyone i know are so much bigger, i dont want to have to wear sweat shirts in the summer. PLEASE HELP

Your boobs are nowhere near done growing. You can still wear cute shirts without having big boobs. Just be patient. Your body isn't done growing yet.

Are you still a virgin if you kind of had sex? meaning... If you were making out and everything and the guy and u start to have sex and stuff and he's like half way in and then you guys stop... is that still considered being a virgin or not?
Thanks!
(Unsure)

You're not a virgin anymore.

I am so confused on what season of Secret Life of the American Teenager is coming out on June 22! Some people say it's Season 3, but others say it's Season 2! ABCFamily has videos of season 1 only though so it confuses me even more. So, what season of Secret Life of the American Teenager is coming out?

Plus it says that Season 2 DVD is coming out tomorrow, but would Season 2 DVD set actually come out before it's aired on tv??

Season 3 is airing, not season 2. Season 2 comes out on DVD tomorrow.

I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT MY BF. TO START OF WITH he is 11 and i am 16 and WE STARTING GOING OUT LAST AUGUST TILL EARLY THIS MONTH WHEN HE DUMPED ME AND A WEEK LATER HE TOLD ME HE DIDNT WANT TO DUMP ME HIS BRAIN TOLD HIM TO AND HE STILL LOVED ME AND WE TALKED AND GOT BACK TOGETHER AND HE TOLD ME HE HAS ADHD AND IED. Then now he keeps saying he hears voices telling him to join them in hell and how he hates his life and wants to kill himself and he worried me the other night cause we were talking and then he changed and started saying stuff like i hear the bells ringing hahaha bye im goin to kill myself and he went and i was worried and i even had to phone his sister to see if he was alright as he switched his phone off and she said he was unhappy. then last nite it happened again me, him and his mate were talking and he changed and started saying stuff and then didnt rember and then he went he was coughinh up blood and his mom was talking with him and he went off and i am so worried about him cause i love him so much and i dont know what to do i just wanna be with him and help him but i dont know how........

You both need therapy. You need it for being borderline pedophile over there, and he needs it because he wants to commit suicide.

Tell his parents. Then tell your parents, and get help for the both of you.

Hey, I'm Hayley, and my boyfriend is 19. I was just wondering if there was any laws against the age of dating? I know they're laws against sex, but we haven't had sex and he hasn't forced me to do anything sexual at all. As a matter of fact, I don't even want to have sex until I'm married and ready.

I'm actually 13, and I've been called a whore for dating him. The names won't change how I feel about him, but some people just don't know how to shut up. Is our relationship, illegal? Can he be charged? Should we break up so he doesn't get in trouble?

Yes, your relationship is considered illegal. If someone happens to disagree with your relationship and tells, he can be charged with statutory rape. Whether you guys are sexually involved or not, it still counts, and he can get in a lot of trouble for being with you.

6 years is a big difference for someone like you who's so young. I think you should just break up. If you really care about him, you won't want him to get into trouble so I'd end the relationship. You're a little too young for someone that age anyways.

Is it okay to kiss my g/f on her forehead while we hug? Would she find that weird or ok? I love her a lot and want to show more affection for her. I don't want to make her uncomfortable or unhappy though. What are your thoughts on a guy kissing his girlfriend on the forehead?

I'm sure she'd find it okay. Most girls love being kissed on the forehead. :) Don't be afraid to show more affection.

Is Edward going to leave Bella forever in Twilight New Moon? :\

No. He ends up coming back but she has to go to Italy with Alice to get him. But if he left forever, like Jack said, there wouldn't be 2 more books after New Moon.

So no, he doesn't leave Bella forever.

My friend and I are having a debate on who are the hottest male celebrities in Hollywood right now. I say Johnny Depp but she says he's so out right now. Your opinion?

I like Johnny Depp, but I don't think he's the hottest male actor out there right now.

I personally find Robert Pattinson and Ryan Reynolds to be gorgeous. :)

are there any websites where it's an online diary?
and only you can see what you write?

You can use LiveJournal & only make the entries visible to yourself. :)

I am just wondering if it is possible for someone to have contracted HIV or AIDS and for them not to know they have it at all?

I mean would you know if you have AIDS or HIV? And when would you know that you had it? How would you know? What would the symptoms be like?

Thank you!

Yes. It is very much possible to live with HIV/AIDS & not know it. You wouldn't know unless you get tested which you should be doing twice a year.

If you think you have AIDS, or even just wanna check to be sure you're clean, you can go to the doctors OR Planned Parenthood & get tested.

Recently, I asked one of my best friends to withdraw some money for me from an ATM when they went out shopping. I know I can trust this friend very much so I wasn't even slightest bit nervous about having them make the transaction at the ATM for me. After that somebody (another one of my friends) told me that it is illegal to do so.

I am aware of the risk if it is illegal, but I would like to know, in certainty, if it is really illegal.

Anyone know?

No, it's just pretty stupid.

What are some non-alcoholic drinks that you can serve in a teenage party and how do you make them? My friend suggested that I make non-alcoholic pina coladas but I don't know how to so, please, if you can make good suggestions and they need to be made, detail how I can make them!

You can have soda. You can also make homemade fruit punch! Just mix Hawaiian Punch with Sprite.

I know you asked for pina coladas with no alcohol, but I found a site with a whole list of other drinks that can be made virgin style. I'm pretty sure it includes to pina coladas too! :)

I don't mean to brag or anything but I think I'm wonderful when it comes to giving free advice.
People will follow my advice and get great results each and every time it seems. I give great free advice to my friends and family, but I have always wanted to start my own advice column ever since I was, like, ten years old. I decided to make a free advice column on Advicenators here but how do I get people to ask me questions? I'm totally awesome but I rarely get questions in my inbox. Is there a way I can promote myself or should I just keep answering questions and waiting for people to catch on to my good advice?

I had another idea too...should I link my Advicenator column on other sites I go to (Livejournal, Myspace, Facebook, etc.) to get people to come visit my advice column or is that too cheesy?

I don't get very many in my inbox as well, but it's actually kinda hard to get people to inbox you. But, I see it like this.

As long as I'm helping people (whether they ask me personally or not), I'm okay. Just knowing that I helped someone or gave someone another point of view on their problem makes me happy. Sure, I like getting inbox questions, but I don't necessarily need them to define me as a columnist.

I think you should just go with Jack's idea. Answer a wide variety of different questions & see if that helps.

As for posting your link to your column in other places - go ahead! I have mine posted on my Facebook & MySpace. I've also posted it on my LiveJournal a few times. :)

Maybe post a bulletin on MySpace suggesting that if anyone needs advice to go onto your column and ask. :)

What's the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan? I heard about celebrities being vegans now and I am confused. Is being vegan the same as being a vegetarian or are they completely different?

They're sort of similar.

Vegetarians don't eat meat.

Vegans don't eat anything having to do with animals.
