If it's your first time having sex, how can you ease the pain? What can you use for a lubricant? Are they any other ways, without like, "ruining the moment"? Thanx! (link)


There are a lot of answers below that are not what you need here. Number one, You are a pretty decent person if caring for someone else's pain. That's a nice person because most guys just go after what they want and screw what the female wants.

It is outright dangerous to use butter (I mean comeon obviously written by people who have never experienced this experience), lotion, ANYTHING AT ALL on a condom unless water based like KY. The reason is that those lubricants break up tiny and big holes in condoms and can indeed lead to HIV and a disease as the condom is ruined and cannot do the job.

As far as pain goes--a lot of it is her being tense as hell and wound up. You have to try foreplay first and warm her up. Why? Insertion will hurt her if she is not moist in that area and friction, burning, pain etc exist. So make sure she is lubricated well and then go easy and you will be fine.

The pain should be minimal like a pinch or slight discomfort, rubbing until a rythem is established. There you go, enjoy (not too much) and be safe.


ok, i'm in 8th grade and i'm in the orchestra and i play volleyball. next year i was really hoping to participate in the Marching Band in pit. but during school i think that orchestra and band meet at the same time, and then volleyball practice is after school but thats also when band practice is... so i dunno which to choose! i can do an extra volleyball thing besides school, but i dunno about band vs. orchestra... i was also planning on moving to a different high school in 10-12 grade for orchestra... (link)

There is a book out there and I think it is called the Overburdened and or the Overscheduled Child. Hon, as much as you love it all and want to do it all you cannot be that commited and that stressed. You need to back out of all of that--leave stuff alone for a bit and discover what you like more and what takes the least amount of time.

First, knock out the marching band as that will
take too much of your time. It seems you are bent on doing music. You can knock out the orchestra and take private lessons and all kinds of masters classes and get ahead of those guys on your own when you can go.

As for volleyball if this makes you the most friends and puts new people in your life do it. If not put it aside, focus on your homework and having fun. You should be involved in only 1 activity at school to keep it balanced.


i need a cute cell phone message or ideas of what song i should put
please no sites
thank you (link)

Hi you have reached so and so. If I could find my phone among the heap of clothes, CDs, mice, and assorted living things in my room I will call you back--Let's see here I found the phone. Where's the damn cord. BEEP!


after every time i eat, my stomach starts hurting. i know i should go see a doctor but i can't right now so what do you suggest i do from now til the time that i do see a doctor? (link)


The biggest question I need to ask you is have you been tossing your cookies every day and or night? Big important question to tell me and tell others in your life. The reason is simple, if you are vomiting it and or pills back up you have a problem and will get dehydrated like I did last week and require an IV to put back the fluids in you. Any weight loss all of that needs to be documented.

Also, it is very important to point out to your family where the pain is coming from and not hide the fact it has been there either a short or long time. The reason is we have to figure out if your
pain is the stomach, sides, front, back as you have an Apendix--useless little organ that can burst if not taken out.

What do I want you to do? Take a barf bag with you just incase and go to Emergency. Establish that it is not your Apendix and ask the gastro-instestinal doctor to find out what it is. It may take a few hours and they may give you an IV for eating.

They will want to try and figure out if it is a
Galblatter problem, lactose intolerant (don't laugh it can be all of a sudden an issue,) ulcer or stomach inflammation. Likely, they'll give you gravol to be able to eat small amounts and an IV and observe you overnight.

These also are not menstrual pains so yes, I'm being serious go to emergency they see this all the time.

What might happen is if your stomach cannot tolerate certain foods a special diet will be given to you. Also, one more thing try and remember what foods caused the pain. This is key in knowing what you infact can never eat again. Greasy foods? Junk? what? Pasta sauces do it for a lot of people.

Why am I telling you so much? The answer is simply 2 weeks ago I was in the same situation. I was given an IV and stomach acids and after this week
it will be fine but again say goodbye to Pizza, Icecream, spices, sauces and hello to a fricken load of rice dishes. My God I did not think you could do all that with rice, lean beef, other things like Jello and crackers etc.


I really, really need help here-serious help only, please. i've never really said this to anyone before, let alone a bunch of strangers over the internet, but here it goes. I think i'm gay and to make it worse, i'm madly OBSESSED with this kid in my class. Now, I go to an all boys high school, but i've had these feelings since before i went there. I first met him when we were both taking the entrance exam to get into the high school. now we're really close friends and i am just crazy about him. i mean, to the point where i have pictures of him on my computer. But i don't know if he feels the same way though. I highly doubt he does. what i want to know is should i come out and tell him(and the wolrd) that i have feelings for him, or should i just keep it all inside? i am seriously asking for your help on this one because i really need it. (link)

At this point the question is not am I gay or not? It is a question on what you should do. First, find out if you are, read all about it, see if any of what is written applies fully and completely with you. You have never been with anyone like this before and it seems odd to many that you would say yupp. I am Gay and want to be with X. It really does work that way as you usually have to be damn sure because of all the stuff involved you are.

Secondly, it would be total and complete disater to tell him you are Gay bla, blah and oh by the way I wanted to be with you. That right there if he is not gay will wind up in a slug fest and him walking off and telling his friends to bash you. Not a good scenario. If you are Gay--fine but at school in our society staying closed lipped about it is the best thing. Do you need people trying to beat you up over it? Nope.


well i am planning a camping trip for about 13 teenagers and adults. We'll have a 5th wheel (Camping Trailer) so we'll have a stove, Mircowave, oven, etc... but I'm having trouble of thinking of simple (but yummy) dishs to make that dont require too much cooking, or preperation. Our Campsites will also have a Grill. Anyone have ideas to help me with my menu?? Thanks so much!! (link)

Put simply Stir Fry. It's also low in fat. Frying green beans, mushrooms, rice, carrots etc can be done with a pan over the fire. That's a dinner option. Every kid likes their smores so 'nuff said. No smores and you'll see a goddarn revolution. Aise from Hotdogs you have to think of something you can do at home that works in the woods and adapt it. I think a Stir Fry is a good idea.




I am trying to pull off an Internet Radio Show
for teenagers, adults, educators, parents on movies, spoken word, poetry, rap, hip-hop, and artists that cannot get arrested called "Reel Views Unplugged."

I need your help as teenagers (I'm in my 20s and a journalist/critic) to even know half the links to great Internet Radio Stations out there. I did
not like Powertalkfm so see if you can tell me
being into this stuff who is doing more of a Talk format for teens on the net. Figured I would ask you all. As someone older, I am giving you my advice too so you do not make bad mistakes as often. (link)
Someone sent me a form and I have no idea if they were being sincere or sarcastic. If indeed someone is in journalism school I can help as much as possible having been there and through 14 years worth of reporting. Definitely, know before you sign on what it involves. Pressure cooker enviornment to say the least. This is why I now only do certain projects.



Is there any way you can mix songs, like, yeah by usher, and 1,2 step? Or mixes like that? Just on my computer? And if I couldn't, could I find songs that are appropriate for a catholic school dance team and are really fast? Britney spears would be great too. Thanks a lot! (link)


You can do it on computer but I am not sure how much that equipment costs to be honest. I was told just the other day Best Buy could help with mixers and they are not too expensive.

As far as a high school dance goes you can hire
a professional relatively cheap that shows up with his songs--give him yours and they mix it up and do a playlist--simple--that's why they get money to do so.

As far as fast dances go Latin all of that stuff is and under-recognized. Try something that has not been done before by avoiding Britney etc. Everyone has danced her and Christina too death. Look for underground stuff as the real R&B and Blues are not Christina and Britney or Avril.

Find your roots and the cultures and roots of all your dancers and get out the underground stuff and discover music apart from what is on the radio. You will be more appreciated for being different by looking to bands and performers you have no idea about existing.



For example, not putting her down, we like her here Avril is 20 now so how much longer can people take her singing "He was a skater boi--I will see you later boy.. or Complicated?" She's grown up, fans too time to step it up and show how intelligent she is and believe me she is half of those lyrics do not amount to what she possesses. If only she did a bluesy Lisa Loeb-Diana Krall
meets Avril thing. Ironically, as if you cared but if you do inside her first album has her photographed without that black makeup on her and she looks like Lisa Loeb and 95% of blues artists until you see what the record company made her wear. She as the others are are likely recording what the label says to stay in business than their
true influences. Big problem between artists and the people who signed them.


im almost 14 years old and i weigh 130ish n im almost 5'6, i have stretch marks all over my thighs , and on my ass, i get looked at weird all the time, am i over weight?is there something wrong with me, last year i got called fat like 500 times plzz help me i rate high, 13-fm
&heartsl; Michaele ♥ (link)

Hi,

Send me a feedback form later as I may have found an easy one to use for a chart. It's a royal pain in the ass looking up Body Mass Index when I haven't a damn clue if the person on the other end of this
question is American, Canadian or Eurpoean or Japanese to be serious. Why does that matter? Well everyone seems to either go by pound, stone, inch and it is royally screwing up my mathematics versus height and weight ratios.

Also screw the word fat as far as we ought to be concerned apply it to stuff you cut off of meat rather than girls and women. Use tact "obese" "overweight" etc and do it with delicate as some have glands issues, heredity or just may need to shed pounds or not. For Christ sake, our society thought Mary-Kate thin as a rail Olsen was overweight. Look what happened? NOBODY is going to LOOK LIKE A MOVIESTAR. IT'S ALL FAKED.

Learn that first and like yourself. Send me a form for the BMI chart as I can tell you once I find
a universal one how off or close to your weight you are. I know a ton of dietitians and right now right here can make up a great diet for you to
safely come in between where you ought to be.

Also, first thing tomorrow see a doctor and do not go by me on it all. Ask for your BMI readout and then tell himmedications you are on (some increase weight), set up exercise routine and then get one of the diets that are low fat that I myself use
and dropped 30 pounds on. The thing is you have
to do weight in one-4 pounds a week to be safe. Losing more than that is not healthy and results
in re-gaining and or fatigue. The reason most people gain it back is because of fatigue feeling they need fuel, medications, and then non-adherance.

No matter what size you may be rejoice in who you are. You are more me than they are and entertaining etc than anyone poking fun. Are you sure it was 500 people? I don't know that many myself. Do not exaggerate or be upset about this--it's something you can do something about if
an issue. The flipside of this is maybe you weigh the right amount and they are jealous of it. Happens. I don't know. Anyways, ping me I'll find a chart.


there is this girl and i have known her for about a year. last year i used to hangout with her all the time. now, in our second year of high school, she doesnt really talk to me much. she hangs out with all the preppy kids, which most of them, i dont really talk to. one of them decided to ask this girl out to homecoming, which i wanted to do. well this kid told me he asked her and now, i just cant stop thinking about her! she's always in my head! i dont know what to do next, its mindboggling! (link)


The thing is she has no idea beyond your first name
of who you are and what you are like. This plays to your advantage. She used to know who you were a year ago. Your goal go the friendship route and learn
what makes her tick etc and let her be the guy she
vents to you and tell her she can. To do this requires some craft.

Become her friend again, hang out with people she knows and get to know them to become included. 99.95% of the time teen romance fails and she is off to the next guy who shows interest only to be stomped on again.

This is where you come in know and learn every last possible thing about her and her interests. Be her friend and show concern now in a friendship way that the other guy doesn't. Pick up on what he does and doesn't do that pisses her off. You be the flipside of that and mark my words when someone gets the heav ho out the door she may remember you or you would have at least an opening. If you never make friends with her how the hell can she like let alone date you? You have to get gonads here.


School started 4 days ago or me, and today I just got my period. I'm s freshman, and it just seems like everything is so STRESSFUL for me! I'm nervous about tomorrow and I have no clue why! Could you period be linked to stressing you out? I'm never really grouchy before/during my period, just crampy.


14/f (link)

Slow down here pardner. You are four days into a school year and worrying? I do not care what subjects you have or not but STOP IT. Worrying will only make something so small 20 times big. Is it worth posting your fears on a giant billboard over Times Square? Nope. The same here all those school related fears of new place, new people, new teachers, big school, will anyone like me are THE COMBINED FEARS OF A BILLION NINTH GRADERS!

If you were not scared about something I would seriously if a doctor write up your ticket to a mental health ward (having seen and been in one) I know full well the fears aren't as any bigger as you make them out to be. If scared, admit it to an adult and ask for support. Nobody will let you sink like a stone but build alliances and supports.

Actually, your question about menstruation is interesting. Being stressed out can actually in
some young women and adults (ie traumas here, supressed BS and fear)stop periods from happening
and not the other way around. Basically, you will get your period on time unless super stressed--in truama, shock or on the pill or pregnant. Business as usual as far as your system is concerned.

If feeling sluggish make sure to have 3 meals a day, cut out junk, dairy. rich foods and have only lean no fat stuff. Strenghth will build there. As far as stress just vent it positively every last kid in Grade 9 all over the world is going "Holy Shit I Can't Handle This." so just laugh and get on with it.


okay every single person i know hass like a perfect butt, but i have absolutly nothing... what are someways to make your butt bigger?? and also your boobs!! ive heard drinking milk and protien helps, but is that true?!?! also could you explain step by step what to do for all of this?!?! thank you so much!! (link)
I know people want to be helpful here but telling someone oh wait til you are old enough for implants does not help nor cut it. Giving her that idea is dangerous to her self-image which she is still developing and embarassment over how she feels of her body.

Be happy with what you have other girls are wishing to have developed that much. Do not think bad of what you have--give it time everyone grows. As for a big butt it's not all it is cracked up to be at all. People get made fun of for huge bust size and behind so either way you will pardon the pun take insults coming and going.

Relax, you are normal it's all in the genes and from the looks of it bloom a little later than most. iN the end it's not a competition or about how big or who has what first--it's about growing up and maturing. Right now focus on the maturity issues as learning that helps while others focus on material things none of you can change about yourselves.


I just started my Sophmore year of highschool. From the begining of Freshman year 'til now, I've lost MANY friends for stupid reasons. Mainly because I got into a fight with one girl that I was best friends with and then she got all of her friends to hate me too. Which was about 15 people. How nice right?


Anyway, I have a reputation of being a bitch. Because.. Well, I CAN be. But I'm really not when you get to know me.



I really want to try to change my reputation on being a bitch, I want to show people that I AM a good person and attempt to make new friends. But I really need help on changing my reputation. Any ideas? (link)

There is a young actress named Lauren that I have interviewed in the past and she threw her castmate offguard during a scene and they kept it in and now use the line all the time. The character was to ask my young friend "How are you?" Instead of saying hello she said, "New Day, New Look, New insert name here."

Hopt apt to remember that for your problem. Much like the character in the story you have a choice each day to approach it as a new chapter, page, day book etc. You and you alone can spoil your own day by acting in a fashion of screw this, them, who cares? woe is me etc.

The problem is not what they are doing to you but
what you are allowing them to do to you through your own bad thoughts on them. I'll tell you the single most important lesson you can learn and it's this: Resentment and anger will hold you back and it is like drinking a tub of bleach each day. It will grab hold and make you--not them suffer and be repeatedly victimized. LET GO. and MOVE ON.

15 people or 20 annoyed does not matter worth a damn. You know how many people you piss off in 20-100 years? Loads and you know what half of them do not know your name anymore nor care unless you bring it all up and make them. Drop in, move on more exciting things to do and see.

As for being a bitch there's that mental little lie and devil to correct in your thinking. Think for a moment as this is what you are doing and is dumb: I think I am a bitch therefore I must be a bitch and have that reputation wahh wahh how do I change?

Simple, new book, new chapter, new day, new page. Be what you want to be to people and bite your acid tongue. Everything will flow smoothly as long as you do not THINK do not ALLOW yourself to act like a bitch. You are in driver's seat lnow when to slow down and put a stop sign up on certain behaviour.

Be yourself and do not say anything you would not want an elevator of people to say and also bear in mind everything you say can hurt someone so if angry etc do not say it and walk away. As a band member once told me "Do not share your anger unless the end result of it contributes to fixing things." Do not add fuel to fires. Let them burn out.


I have a question about photography. I have a hp photosmart 733 digital camera, and I was wondering how I could make pictures look more professional. Any tips?

Thanks in advance! (link)


It is not easy, I can testify to that much. They forced photography on us journalism students and gave us no option whether we wanted to learn photography or not. I chose to stick to the written, printed, online, spoken or televised word.

For you shtterbugs, I recommend reading really dumbed down as the adult ones are too complex reference books or how-to books and learn out of those. Among what I think most teens can grasp is photography for dummies as well as idiots.

Simple stuff to know on backgrounds, shade and too much, shadow and too much, brightness and too much and how to create effects all covered in those books.

The other thing if becoming a pro is your bent learn the software for fixing negatives and photos
called PhotoShop. Reading the dummies guide on it and messing around if you have patience (where I do not) for that kind of thing will help as will
a Macintosh in the future they can hold more design programs than anything else.

For now though learn the basics and if anyone tries to teach you stuff you are not totally sure of or ready for let them know you are still working on X and not Z.

Another thing learn film speeds and ISO numbers. 200-1000. They mean something and it is all about speed. Some photos right now can only be taken by film. We are talking the majority of stop-motion pictures.

Say you were two feet away from Lance Armstrong on
his bicycle and you wanted a photo that did not blur. You need to know what film ISO takes picture perfect stop motion photos each time. It gets more complicated but I think that book above will help.


What is an antecedent??? as In english...: I need help on this sentence:

One superstitious sailor can taint the whole company with his fear...

Would the antecedent be ?? and i also need the proper noun... Would it be his...

HELP (link)


The Webster's dictionary definition says an antecedent is a word, a phrase, a clause that gets refered to by using a pronoun. Much like this sentence John as in "Mary Saw John and called to him." Johhn is what you are looking for. It is also a word that is used to substitute something else in a sentence. As long as you know what the pronoun is it is rather easy to figure out your antecedent or ought be.

A pronoun is any small words used as substitutes to nouns and or noun phrases used in the same context as the usual word you substituted it by.

I cannot make the term proper noun come off simple. I know what it is and all that but my explanation might be hard. As you know a noun is a person, place, thing, and or quality someone possesses. Go with that and figure it out. Otherwise, ask another adult they ought to know from reading what one is and is not.

In the top sentence just remember this the person, thing, place, quality is the noun. Good, figure out what it is. What is the person doing or feeling? That's usually a verb or adjective etc. Find that and know it's not the antecedent. You'll know a proper noun when you figure out what other pieces of speech are there I can eliminate.

Let me know what happens. It will be wonderful when you learn this as you can then write better than a lot of people your age who never learned it.


What is fingering?
And what does it feel like? (link)


Thanks for the first pointless answer and the second
graphic one. It is fundamentally untrue that this or any other person at their age will know certain things. Some come from catholic or uptight backgrounds about sexuality. Do not assume she nor anyone knows anything.

Essentially it is being fondled gentitally by a partner--so--masturbation by someone else of your
vulva etc. Figure it out from that. And yes, it's okay to ask questions you do not know. Do not jump on someone for that. Imagine if they did that to you if you they thought you knew something that is supposed to be easy in their eyes.


Hey.
I was wondering..
i wear thongs with skirts. lIke sorta short skirts. lIke jean ones from abercrombie. Do you think thats slutty? If it is ill just wear like boy shorts. Because I dont want to be a slut or give off the wrong message. Any opinions? Thanks! (link)


I wish teens other than yourself would use the dictionary more and remove the word like from their speech--it is always used in conversation where it should not. Anyways, that is a pet peeve and I wish teens would unlearn it.

Also, nobody seems to crack a dictionary open when it comes to the words whore and or slut or slutty. Here is the definition of slut: Promiscuous woman exspecially a prostitute.

We'll you are not a prostitute. He also says saucy girl but again that definition is being negated these days. Unless a prostitute you are not a slut.

What does dressing have to do with this word? In honesty not much. Let people use the word incorrectly now you know how it is to be applied and dress the way you want. I mean use your common sense. When going to school you are not to dress like Daisy Duke, social function, you get the idea. Dress appropriate for all things including school and nobody can brand you anything.


hey i want to whiten my teeeth but i want to know what the best way is like crest white strips, simply white, oral b whitening strips, etc?? I RATE

(link)

Call and leavbe a message for your dentist and ask
those questions. They know what is good etc. Also beware, they may try to get you to do professional teeth whitening. Be careful, ask them straight up if you are on the take from someone to recommend this or that--I am not interested. Tell them you care about honesty and knowing about the best product and it is your chompers not there's


My friend had a crish on her cousin's best friend, Tom. So she used to talk to him on the computer and everything and he was totally flirty adn everything so soon he got my sn and I started talking to him, and he was nice and everything. But then my friend said that he stop stopped flirting with her and when i tried talking to him i had to force a conversation out of him. So now she says that she is over him and she already has another guy she is flirting with, so now i am worried about him, it gets worse I liked him too and I still like him. How can I get him to open up with me and tell me what is rong? And any hints on flirting on the computer?? (link)

A few hints here. She may in fact still like this guy and even though there is no hope resent anyone else going near him. It is a hands off for now situation for you computer or otherwise unless she initiates something. Also understand flirting over a computer is not really something done correctly--on both counts you better not.


okay im 16 and just got my bellybutton pierced like last week. theres is this girl bianca and i basicly coacher her into the school and like made her cool and hot and all of that sort of stuff. and like she has been bragging that she got her belly ring when she was in summer of 8th grade and its like.. okay get over it. but she is turing into a totall bitch about it and i really dont want to be friends with a girl like that. do you guys think its okay to get your bellybutton pierced at 13/14. i tried telling her to stop bragging and no one cares because no one really does except for her, is there any way to get some sence into her to make her stop being annoying? (link)


It sounds as though the girl has nothing really to
talk about at all with any of you or in common. Why does this topic keep coming up with her? Odds are
she is talking about it to you because she knows it is the only thing you have in common or to keep
a group of friends who are turning out to be annoyed.

What should you do? Trest her with respect and tact and say, "You told me several times let's talk about something else." That said in front of everyone will get her to stop and focus on other stuff and maybe a whispered "Be yourself and listen for a good opportunity. You talk a little too much." will get it across.

As far as her being a bitch--annoying yes--bitch no she does not have the best in social or communication skills and probably has no clue she is annoying you--none--this is normal behavior to her. Bragging all that will die when you tactfully pull her aside and explain how this looks to everyone.

It is not your job to knock sense into anyone. Life if you deserve it will reach out and bite you or kick your ass itself. Do not worry there--except that maybe the kick in the butt is
designed for you both to see something the other needs.

Bellybutton rings are nice on cute women who are
20-30. I kind of feel swqueamish with kids. They hurt like hell from what I heard going in and perhaps in a few years they will be out of fashion. Get them if you want but ask yourself was this worth the pain? Am I any older or cooler? and you will know if it is right for you.

Getting something like this is requires adult though and maturity on your part. It should never be viewed
as something easy as brushing your teeth. It will
hurt and in the end will anyone care? I mean comeon girls do this to get someone to care--a guy--so if he does not and others do not what's the use in getting it done?
