My boyfriend cheated on me one week after we got together. Now I have taken him back (about 2 weeks after he cheated on me). All of my friends thinks it's a misstake but I believe in second chaces and I like this guy...All advicenators out there do you believe in the term- "once a cheater, always a cheater"??
Was it a big misstake to take him back, should I dump him for what he did to me? (link)

If he cheated on you once, he will absolutely do it again. He may not with his next girlfriend though. That's why I'm kind of fuzzy on that quote, but girl- he will cheat on you. Don't put yourself in that position.

I am going to be a Junior this fall in highschool which basically means it is time to start looking for colleges
but honestly I don't even know where to start. Like i really don't know much about any college anywhere because well i don't follow college sports or anything to familiarize me with anything.
I know right now i can basically get into any school minus Like harvard (i have a gpa between 3.6- and 3.9 somewhere)
In the next few weeks my mom and I are going to some local schools around Pittsburgh Pa but outside of here i don't know of any schools!
I want to major in Elem. Ed. I think or something around that feild if that helps.
So basically my question is can someone give me some info -background- advice on any good schools for want to be teachers! i would prefer someone who acually knows about the school and not just researched it! (link)

Viila Julie in MD is good, that's where I went and I know a lot of education majors flock there. Let me tell you something though, if you don't have an inherant preference, then just apply to a lot of places in your area (that have your desired major) and then attend the school that give you the most money.

Ok....i am really addicted to pop....but i wana stop drinking it and i was wonderin if you know how much weight i would lose in a month from just not drinking pop? (link)
| |
A lot. 3500 calories is one pound, sounds like a lot, right? It is. But, if you drink 3 sodas a day that is easily 500 calories. So, replacing them with diet or just drinking water instead would equal one pound lost every week. And you haven't even changed anything about your diet yet, or even started exercising.

I have ben hurt many times by guys. Too many times! I always seem to fall for the wrong type, and I really mean the WRONG type! They all seem great at first but then the truth comes out. My ex-boyfriends have either been phycos, nymphos, mythomaniacs, cheaters or just plain assholes!! I have lost count on how many night I have fallen asleep crying! I thought I had given up on boyfriends and then my present boyfriend came along and seems really nice and all. Sure, he cheated on me once in the begining of out relationship but that's normal for me now, I guess that's just a thing that guys do so I have him a second chance.
So now we are together and I can't seem to be happy when I'm with him!! I'm just waiting for when he is going to hurt me and how he's going to do it!
When ever I try to picture our relationship in the furutre I see me crying over him because he hurt me really bad somehow....
I have seriously no romance in me anymore! My previous boyfriends have crushed that! They have made me into a depressing person. I used to me known as the "really happy and fun girl" but that was a looooong time ago!
I try, I really try to be happy with my present boyfriend, he is nice and all but I can't seem to get there. What is wrong with me?!?!
They have crushed my spitit, my soul and a few times my will to live :'(
please help!! (link)

It's very simple, you need to spend some time alone and get to know who you are and what you need before you can ever be truely happy with anyone else.

(link)

You aren't too young, just make sure you tell her exactly what you are going to do in a no-nonsense way beforehand. Just be simple and straightforward. Tell her you can't deal with her anymore and you need to leave. Tell her exactly why as well. If she gets crazy, simply walk out the door.

40s - f - uk.
I've recently been diagnosed with COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. I also have unstable asthma. Due to this I have to take steroids quite often which makes me put on weight. The extra weight is not good as it puts more strain on my lungs. I am trying to be careful with what I eat. I'm not fat as such, but definitely under height for my weight!
I find it very difficult to exercise, walk far etc, due to the lung disease, but I need some form of exercise to try to keep the COPD at bay as long as possible.
Also, due in part to the steroids I have early onset osteoporosis, so exercise would be good for that as well. Doctors have not really been much help. Any suggestions please? (link)
| |
Is it prendisone? I was on that forever, yes it's terrible about the weight gain and bloating. That's only the begining of the side effects. Exercise is your best bet because the medication will make it impossible to cut down on food. maybe try some light swimming or easy walking?

For the last couple of years my parents have been figting more and more. I don't really get along with my dad but I get along with my mom like we are best friends! So... my mom has this friend and we tell my dad we are going to dance class , but we are really going to his house! He is a really nice guy! My mom says that my dad and her will be divorced soon, and that we will move in with this other guy, but they will not get married. I really like this guy and I know that he will be better for my mom! Buy the way my dad hates this guy. Should I be worried about what my dad might do when he finds out we are living with him? (link)

I'm glad that your mother has found something that makes her happy but that is no reason to disrespect your father like that. I can't believe she behaves in this way, and so blatantly, in from of you. What a terrible influence, I hope you have other adult role models in your life.

how long can sperm live even when it hits the air .. can u get pregant by gettign fignered? (link)
| |
Sperm can live 5-7 days in your body. "hitting the air" really has nothing to do with the speed in which it will died, it just needs a moist environment. Sperm that is kept moist will indeed possibly still be viable over a day later.

Sorry, didn't know who to ask about this- can masturbating keep you from getting your period? Mine usually comes on the 24th/25th of the month and it hasn't. I got cramps and all of that but my period never came. Help. Thanks. (link)
| |
No, it does not in the least.

I am a 23 year old female. I am happily married, but a few weeks ago, I made the mistake of having unprotected sex with someone other than my husband. I just found out that I am pregnant. I cannot keep the child because there is a good chance that my one-night-stand is that father. I want to have an medical abortion and disguise it as a miscarriage. My husband is a doctor, and I fear that he may be able to distinguish the difference between an induced miscarriage and a spontaneous one. What is the difference between a medical abortion and a spontaneous miscarriage? (link)
| |
He wouldn't be able to tell unless he actually examined you in an office setting, and even then it isn't completely likely that he would be able to tell. Talk to planned parenthood, and ask the doctor who performs the abortion if there is anything you need to be worried about with your doctor husband.

This weekend, I'm visiting my girlfriend for the weekend. Unfortunately, on Saturday she has been invited to her ex's 21st birthday party. She says that he and his family are still good family friends, although she never hangs out with them or talks to them. So she is going and is dragging me to the party. I have expressed the fact that I feel uncomfortable about this, but she has taken a "Tough Shit" attitude towards my feelings. Is it irrational for me not to want to go and is there any way out of this? Help! (link)
| |
I think her attitude is very disrespectful toward you. If they aren't good friends anymore, why does she need to even go? Further more, why force you along when you feel uncomfortable? I think her rudness and disregard of your feelings alone ought to make you reevalute your relationship with her. Besides that, I would wonder why she really wants to go there. Any alterior motives?

hey i know this is a really weird question but i just got over a small yeast infection and i have these little red bumps on my vagina and its still kind of red down there...idk what to do is it part of the infection or what?!! help! i try to wash really well down there!!! (link)
| |
Ahh, that could be your problem. There is a balance of good bacteria and good yeast in your vagina naturally. When the balance is upset, you can get a yeast infection. Washing essesively with a lot of soap, especially antibacterial soup, will give you a yeast infection because it will kill the good bacteria and the yeast will grow unchecked. The red bumps most likely go along with it, and will clear up just fine when everything is healed up.

My girlfriend's birthday is comming up. I'd like to get her a book that she would like, she reads a lot. She likes to read novels, the mushy love story kind. Does anyone recommend any that they have actually read? I'm not too great when it comes to this. Or should I just ask her which one she would like? I did want it to be a surprise, but if that's the best way to go about it, I'll try it. (link)

Nicolas Sparks is a good author for people who like the deep and lovey type stuff.

Would a denim jacket & khacki pants look good together? I can't find ANYTHING to match a denim jacket?? ANY IDEAS?! (link)
| |
It will look terrible together. In fact, demin jackets are a style that shouldn't be resurrected anyway. I wouldn't wear them.

Nutritional drinks.
I'm going to the store tomorrow to get some.
Its my choice, but I'm getting some to help me gain weight.
I'm really skinny in my arms and legs and have a high metabolism.
Will they work? Are they healthy?
And like do you know any that are really good?
ANYTHING is appreciated. (link)
| |
Yes, the nutritional drinks are a good supplemet for weight gain. Choose one that is high in protien and calories. Make sure you continue to eat a balanced diet as well and it is always good to talk to a doctor if you haven't already.

No type of shampoo alone is going to make your hairl wavy. You have to style it.

14 female. when ever i like a guy i tend to give or loan them money. most of the guys i liek are not trust worthy o i usuially never get my money back. everyone knwos that i ALWAY have cash on me i cant lie to them and say "sorry i dont have any money on me." I am afraid to ask them for the money back after i stop liking them, one because i am embarrasses and two:: because it has been so long that they have forgotten. during the last school year this one boy i was crushing on would ask me for a dollar every day for 3 or 4 months. i would say yes everyday and as a resuly gave him around 40 dollars and he never even liked me as more than a frined. i know the boys are jsut using me but i cant help my self. if anyone has any advice on how to stop or anthign to say to the boys who ask and try to use me i woudl greatly appreciate it!. thanks a million andone =)

When someone, anyone, asks you for money, say no. You don't owe anyone an explanation. It's your money and unless they are starving on the streets, it is perfectly acceptable to say no. Just stop. I wouldn't bother to demand money from the people who have "forgotten" to pay you back- take it as a valuable lesson learned to not let anyone use you any longer. No boy is going to like you because you give them cash.

Ok, i am the last person in the world to ever try to show off my looks or my body, and i hate talking about my appearance because i am so slender. People tell me im gorgeous, and that i'll be happy i was skinny when i was young because ill benifit later in life. Everyone tells me i could be a model blah blah . I hate it. Especially since people think models are all b*tchy and high maintanence. So one day, i applied on model search america.com, and they phoned me back and want me to go to las vegas for an interview. How do i even tell anyone about this? If i tell my friends they'll think im trying to get attention. Im obviously not gonna go , but still. Please tell me what i should do! Emma (link)
| |
You should go if you want to explore the possibilities. Tell your friends, but just don't brag or talk about it too much, you know? Be proud to be beautiful sweetie, there is nothing worng with having good genes. Just don't rub it in to those who don't.
