I'm doing a report on the social injustices of Anti-Abortion laws. Does anyone have any pro-choice opinions on why abortion should stay legal, and general opinions on the topic?
Well I don't believe it should be legal UNLESS rape was involved. There are debates whether or not the fetus is actually "alive" & whether or not abortion is technically considered murder. In my eyes, as long as it's living, it doesn't matter how old the fetus is. It's murder. I believe there are other options other than abortion. & people need to take more responsibility when it comes to dealing with unwanted pregnancies. Use two different forms of protection or abstain from sex if you aren't ready to take on the responsibility of a child. It's disgusting to see the availabilty of this procedure; & it's sad that you can fix your mistakes by killing a living human being inside of you (fetus or not).
will my hair be severly damaged if i straighten it 3 times a week for 30 days? thank you =] ♥
With all the dying, washing, blowdrying & just from the sun..it really doesn't take much to damage your hair. But that doesn't mean you can't use products to prevent or help treat damaged hair. My answer is yes, but the severity isn't as bad as someone who blowdries & straightens it 5-6 times a week. (Yes that would be me.) You should be fine; just make sure you find a product to protect your hair from heat.
so im single. and this guy and i kinda kiss like a playful one i guess. its just for fun and we both know it. what do yall think? should i stop?
I don't understand how the term "slutty" (an adjective for someone who sleeps with multipe people with no feelings) is used to describe someone who kisses one boy. Moving along, there's nothing wrong with kissing someone. As long as you are not leading them on or doing anything more than that, there's nothing wrong in having a little fun. Just be sure that's the farthest you are going.

what can i do with my girlfriend when we make out to make it a little more interesting?
please and thank you
Kiss her neck & play with her hair. Don't stick your tongue down her throat and be too agressive.
ok so yeha how do you get some guys to stop making fun of you like today i was just sitting there and this guy threw a pencil at me then threw a pen top at me and hit me in the eye and now my eye looks like it's bleeding from the inside how do i get them to stop like yeah
I'm assuming you're in school when this happened. If so, report it to your teacher or principal. That's immature & uncalled for.

okay i moved to a new town last year; and i was nervous about starting a new school but i made a good group of friends quickley. well we got in a very big fight and that all ended.; anyways there was this boy, Dave, well he is always very very sweet to me. but hes not exactly popular. i mean this sounds horrible but i think it would make more people make fun of me. i dont know if i can handle more of that in this school. so do i go for the kid who treats me really really nicely. or ignore him because he is a loser to everyone else? he doesnt have many friends but he is somewhat close with my old friends. i feel bad if i say no and please if your gonna tell me to not listen to what other people say could you give me some things to do to not listen? im really bad with stress [im a cutter of four years]. please and thanks.
Well, it is VERY immature (not to mention typical for a 14 year old) to classify people & worry about what other people think. Who cares if the public does not approve of him? You are not living for anyone but yourself. If he meets your approval & treats you very nicely, then that's all that should matter.
i need to break upo with my bf, but i dont know how. im too scared to do it face to face. but is that necessary?
Yes, it's more mature to do it face to face. Don't do it over text, email, AIM, note or through a friend. That's such a pathetic (not to mention childish) way to handle it.
Okay, so like I hear all these people talking about how they have Adobe Photoshop. I think it's like $300. And these people that I know wouldn't pay $300 for a program. So like how is everybody getting it? One of my friends has the new version 9 or cs2 or whatever but she said she got it for free. Did she lie? Can you download it? Or are they buying it cheap somewhere?
Well, I actually did buy mine. You can get the free 30 day trial on the adobe website. But I'm not sure where else she could get the program for free. They aren't usually cheap either. I'm sure the cheapest place you could get one is on Ebay.
prom is tonight.
my period ended a couple of days ago, if i decide to have sex will this increase my chances of getting pregnant?
If i do decide to have sex is there something i can take to prevent from getting pregnant like the next morning?
I heard something called the after pill?? what is this? & if this works, do i need a parent to come with me to buy one?
thanks!
The morning after pill, which you are referring to, is not the first protection you take for preventing pregnancy. It's too late to get on birth control if you plan to have sex tomorrow, so you are mainly only left with the option of a condom. The morning after pill (or emergency contraceptive pill) is about 85% effective 72 hours after sex - the sooner, the more effective. If you are under 18, it's available @ Planned Parenthood. The last time I was there (which was a couple months ago) I saw they were selling them for $28. If you are over the age of 18, you can get it @ Planned Parenthood & over the counter at other places as well. You do not need a parent. Now, you would get the morning after pill if something happened such as the condom broke. You should never have unprotected sex & think "Oh, I can just go get the morning after pill." There are other things to worry about besidse pregnancy - such as diseases. So always have him wear a condom. For future use, get on birth control & take it every night at the same exact time for it to be 99% effective. & don't do anything stupid.
hey, i know its a little late, but i need a mothers day present to make my mom, or like an idea for something, because i dont have a ride to go anywhere, and not a lot ofmoney
Cook her a big breakfast in bed.
Planning to have sex for the first time this weekend.
Im just a little nervous.
Mostly about what if the condom comes off or breaks and i end up getting pregnant.
Any advice or tips about Sex for the first time.
Use two forms of protection: get on the pill, take it everyday at the same hour & use a condom every single time. That way, if one protection fails, the other is there to back you up.
Okay so for the past 3 or 4 days.. i feel like i have to go to the bathroom ALL THE TIME. and i will go to the bathroom..then 5 minutes later i feel like i have to go again.. but i dont. ALSO when i stand up i feel like i have to go. but when i sit down..that feeling just dis appears... could this be something bad?? and what could it be???
Lay back on the caffeine & see the doctor to rule out anything that could be somewhat serious. They should be able to get you a prescription to help whatever the problem may be.
why do people care so much about same sex marrage? i think it should be legal in the U.S but why are people against it?
im writting a report about it and i just need to know what some people think.
thankss
There are really a lot of reasons people will go against it. I'll just give a few. 1.) Some believe it's a sin in the Bible or think it's just not morally right. 2.) It's always been marriage between man & woman & people think it should stay that way. 3.) Some people may not even be religiously against same sex marriage & have other reasons to be against it. People see it as it opening too many other doors. If we make same sex marriage legal, then what's next?You ask why people care so much? It's not that everyone who is against same sex marriage is "homophobic" or is bashing homosexuals. There are people who just want to keep marriage sacred & keep it strictly between man & woman. Everyone has a right to believe in what they want; & not everything in this world has to be accepted. No one is wrong for having their opinions & going against something.
this is my last math question, thank you guys so much.
Robert wants to have a mean of 150 for his bowling scores. He has bowled 137, 165, 142, and 139 in his first 4 games. He will bowl one more game. What is the least score that he can have in his fifth game to have a mean of 150?
133
143
157
167
Okay, so you are trying to find the average. So basically, you want to add those 4 answers plus one of the choices, divide by 5...& the answer has to be 150 to be the correct answer:
a) 137 + 165 + 142 + 139 + 133 / 5 = 716 (incorrect)
b) 137 + 165 + 142 + 139 + 143 / 5 = 145.2 (incorrect)
c) 137 + 165 + 142 + 139 + 157 / 5 = 148 (incorrect)
d) 137 + 165 + 142 + 139 + 157 / 5 = 150
(correct answer).
ok so my whole body isnt totally freckely but my nose and cheeks are. i have pretty fair norweigian skin and have trouble covering them up with plain coverup. on top of me not kowing how to do my makeup. so my ? is: hpw can i cover up my faacial freckles more?
Use a concealer & liquid foundation. My favorites? Mary Kay concealer & CoverGirl True Blend Mousse foundation. & if you really want your foundation to last throughout the day, apply a tad bit of powder over. That should do the job. :)
let me start by saying that im the so called "good girl" - 16, good family, kind, mature, nice friends, nice boyfriend, honor student, employed, all that stuff.
now, on cinco de mayo my mom and her boyfriend were talkin about goin out to eat at a mexican restaurant, and i said somethin jokingly about 'yeah, they have corona!' my mom flipped. she knows i dont drink.. and i would never think of doing drugs or smoking anything.. thats soo gross and stupid to me. also, ive never drank anything in my life. ive had sips of about 3 or 4 things just to try it, and it was all gross actually, but she doesnt even like me doing that. now, i know, shes my mom, she doesnt want me endangering myself or going and screwing up my life or getting addicted to some bad habit. i have no intentions to be some heavy drinker or partier, because i know all the bad things that can happen, but is it really some big deal to try sips of stuff, just to taste it? she doesnt drink although shes had margaritas and that kind of thing rarely, but "she wasnt drinking when she was 16 years old". ive told her over and over ill never smoke or do drugs, and that if i did drink, itd only be taste testing and that i know if i do, im not driving. no questions. but still its like its some HUMONGOUS deal. i mean i want the whole 'teenage/high school experience', and a sip or two here and there isnt gonna kill me. is it really that bad? and dont say oh well if you take a sip and you like it, youll drink more and more. no, i have more control than that. i wouldnt drink alot even if i did, especially if i was driving. ugh i dont know. thoughts???
Well, you sound pretty set on your ways as far as not drinking & driving, doing drugs, smoking, etc. & that's great. But you should probably respect your mom's decisions. I'm sure she trusts you & is just looking out for you. But somewhere in the back of her mind, she knows that things CAN happen. Now, you say you have enough control other than to take more than sip. But if it's just a sip - do you have enough control to not drink at all? Is it really that important to risk the chance of getting caught just for a few sips? Yes, you want to experiment & I understand that. But it's just best to avoid from making it a bigger deal than it is.
is dry humping really enjoyable or is it like a strange hug? can you really get aroused from it?
Yes, it's very well possible. :P
omg my period wont stop im getting so mad like i got it last week on wed. and now its WED.!!! wtf im so mad i want it to go away like is it normal and if you can stop it HOW! im like stressing you would think that would make it stop!
Your period usually lasts anywhere from 4-7 days. You shouldn't be too worried because I'm sure it'll be ending very shortly. You should start worrying when it lasts longer than 10 days. There's nothing you can do to make it stop. If you've had your period for more than 3 years & it's extremely irregular, then look into getting on birth control to help regulate it.
One night I was taking a bubble bath and as soon as I got out of the tub I got all dizy and almost fell over. Then as I was drying off I looked into the mirror and noticed I was really pale. I went to my bedroom and just sat on my bed since I wasn't feeling good. I started to not be able to breathe and my throat started to close up. I went to go look for my inhaler but couldn't find it. Luckily, my brother's girlfriend brought over hers so I could use it. Was this an asthma attack?
My Mom said to keep an eye on if it happens again, like maybe if I had a allergic reaction to something?
Please help, thanks! :]
Was the bubble bath hot or was it kind of steamy/hot in there? Because I know that when I take long, HOT showers - the point to where it gets really hot in the bathroom, it's hard for me to breathe. I feel dizzy & almost pass out too. I'm not sure what else it could have been. There's a chance it could have been a panic attack or asthma attack & it wasn't related to the bath itself. If it happens again, I'd look into seeing a doctor about that.
hello everyone. well i'm pretty much wondering what to do to be pretty? i know this is a stupid question, but how do i FEEL pretty when i'm truly not at all. i have no self confidence and my self esteem is extremly low. it's been since i can remember. i pick out everything on my body and critize it. people tell me to shut up, and tell me i'm pretty but i just feel like they're just trying to be nice. i don't know how to take a compliment, and i just don't feel like i do anything right. i don't know it's just getting terrible. i feel like i'm 1000 pounds, and discusting.
-if anyone has any help, that'd be amazing.
thanks in advance.
Flaws are what make us all beautiful. You either have to learn to accept them or learn how to enhance them. For example, you aren't comfortable with your weight (along with millions of other teenage girls.) Instead of putting yourself down & criticizing everything about your body, wear stuff that compliments it. If you're like me & have issues with your waist/stomach, try different tops that make you look good. Experiment with different makeup & hairstyles. It helps a lot! I know that if I didn't wear any makeup or dye my hair the color I liked it, my self esteem would be in the negatives. There's nothing wrong with making minor changes about yourself. If it's reasonable & it raises your self confidence (& happiness) then go for it. I'm sure every girl out there can point out 20 things they hate about themself; no one is perfect. Just learn to focus on the things that you love about yourself instead of focusing on the things you wish you could change. As cliche as it sounds -- your appearance isn't what matters, it's your personality. :D
