ok so me and boyfriend have been going out for a while now and we both want to have sex but im scared that i will get pregnant i cant let this happen and hes really cool about not doing anything but i want to im jst kinda scared.
I hate to say this because you probably dont want to hear it, but if you have to ask and youre THIS scared and nervous, youre not ready. Its probably not best to just jump into sex. Also, theres always a chance you can get pregnant during sex (of course wear a condom if you do!) If youre SURE you want to do this and its not just pressure, then make sure youre protected. Make him wear a condom and if you can, buy birth control from a health clinic or youre doctor. This is the only way you can be pretty sure you wont get pregnant - besides abstinence.

hey im not the best with covering up zits
is there anyway to do it to make it look like its not even there?
any advice will make me happy:)
Hey :]
Heres a few tips.
Well, first DONT use concealer! Its not good for acne and will definitely make it worse. And concealer is very light so it will draw more attention to it. Yellow tones are the best and tend to look more like your skin tone.
Okay heres what you should do to cover up acne:
- Put on moisturizer (oil free is good) all overyour face.
- Then use your finger or a bush to cover the acne with foundation. Dont over rub or your zits will just remove all of it.
- Set with yellow-toned poweder on a piece of cotton.
Hope that helps!

ok stupid question but here it goes: what are good ways to pleasure yourself? 15/f if that helps

why do people enjoy giving head? just the thought is gross. first of all, i think it's gross if i had to suck someone's fingers, but sucking someones cock, that just seems gross. no i'm not young, and i'm not immature, but it's kind of repulsive thinking of people getting on their knees and sucking on someones private area when god knows where it's been and then having cum go into your mouth. um ew! i don't get it. why do people enjoy it? and if you have done it, how gross really is it? is it as gross as it seems?
People dont enjoy doing head. There might be a few people who do, but most women DONT. They do it to pleasure the guy. Thats basically what its all about. They think they have to give head to their boyfriend or else they wont be good in bed. Not necessarily true - although the pressure comes from the fact that guys are very open to saying they LOVE head..its pleasurable for them. Its okay that you dont want to. If youre with a guy that really loves you - it wont matter and he will understand/respect your boundaries and preferences. I have NOT done it, but I know someone who has and she said it was horrible and it tasted like burnt rubber. Ha. So obviously its not very pleasant (I think its pretty gross, myself. And not very hygenic.) And also, a lot of people (most) dont swallow the cum because that's disgusting.

14/f
im going to a sweet 16 on the 14th and i have no idea what to wear. The hostess told me that the decorations are lavender, and her dress is off white so no dresses in those colors.
I know I should wear a cocktail dress, but what color? strapless, halter, etc? Links would be appreciated, and nothing too pricy. I don't want to spend more than $100.
i have dark brown hair shoulder length hair, blue grey eyes, and light skin tone.
Also, make up&hair ideas?
And would it be ok to give like $50 or something like that instead of a gift?
A cocktail dress would definitly be cute :] Oh, and Id go with black because its cute, always in style, looks good on everyone and it is less flashy so it wont clash with the lavendar OR take away from the girl having the sweet 16.
Heres some ideas of dresses I like under $100.

For make up, simple but elegant and classy. Dont go over the top. Smoky gray eye and a sheer lip gloss and a light pink blush.
For hair, I would wear it down curly or straight. Up-dos look too formal for a sweet 16.
Also, giving money is usually considered kind of tacky [not too sound mean.] Instead, I would get her a gift card.

can someone tell me what a hopeless romantic is? thanks
Im definitely a hopeless romantic. It is a person who loves love, pretty much! And likes their relationship to be very "fairy tale" thats how I like to describe it. Perfection and sometimes, cheesiness. Its people who like picnics on the beach with their boyfriend/girlfriend, who want someone to surprise them and visit them 3000 miles away. Things like that. :]

how can u make your hair grow faster?
Trim your hair twice a month.
And..
1. Drink Recommended Daily Amount Of Water
Coffee, tea, sugar drinks or beer does not count in your daily water count. Water means exactly that - water. Carbonated and caffeinated drinks may actually speed up dehydration which means that the body is not functioning at optimal levels. Not only can dehydration make you feel drained and exhausted, it can be a hidden factor in hair growth stoppage, dry strands or tresses that break off.
Adjust your daily levels according to the seasons of the year (hot weather may require more daily water consumption) and the amount of stress in your life.
When pressed for exact formulas, most experts can not give a simple answer to how much water humans should drink every day. A general rule of thumb is for women to drink between 2 and 2.6 liters of water a day. For men the rule of thumb is 2.8 to 3.5 liters.
There are many exceptions to this general rule of thumb which are tied back to age, lifestyle, weight and climate. In essence, experts advise that you replace all the water that you excrete every day.
2. Drink Green Tea
As always, experts disagree with the merits of green tea and whether or not it does conclusively help hair health and encourage growth.
Experts who believe in the hair health benefits of green tea point to the fact that certain compounds found in green tea cause the relaxation of blood vessels, helping overall cardiovascular activity through increased circulation. Of course increased circulation will naturally help nourish hair roots and scalp tissues.
3. Take A Brisk Walk Several Times A Week
Experts have discovered that walking at a quick pace for just 15 minutes will help to raise your normal heart rate which improves circulation to your entire body, including to your scalp and hair follicles. It also helps shake out the cobwebs and aids in a feeling of alertness and energy.
The ideal time to take a walk is about one hour after a meal. This allows your body to digest and puts less overall strain on your system.
Of course it is important to always consult with your personal physician before beginning any new exercise routine that would be strenuous in any way.
It is also best to avoid walking at the hottest times of the day. And yes, don't forget your sunscreen, regardless of the time of year that you walk, which is why many people have become devoted mall walkers.
4. Get Enough Sleep
Many people are sleep deprived. As a result of daily stresses and strains studies have found that humans are getting less and less sleep. For the body to function at optimal capability, which includes having the necessary energy to nourish and grow hair, humans need enough sleep.
Unfortunately there is no pat answer for how much sleep is enough. Again, it depends on the individual. Most sleep experts recommend an average of 6-8 hours for active adults. Depending on age, health conditions and other factors you may need more than 8 or be able to survive on a little less.
As a result of more sleep deprived people, cat naps are becoming more popular. A great way to get a daily energy boost is to schedule a 20 minute cat nap. Be sure not to sleep longer than 20 minutes though or else you will more tired than before you napped. Studies have shown that 20 minutes is the very best amount of time for getting maximum benefit. So set an alarm for exactly 20 minutes and catch some mid-day Zzzs.
5. Eat Energy Snacks
When hunger hits between meals, eat to nourish your hair roots. Reach for one handful of unsalted natural cashews or a few almonds. Almonds are loaded with magnesium which is an essential mineral for growing healthy strands.
Other good hair healthy snacks include yogurt, hard boiled eggs and tofu which all have great nutrients to help hair grow.
6. Indulge In Daily Aromatherapy
Many studies have been done on the effects of aromatherapy when used in daily or regular scalp massages for both healthy hair and scalp as well as overall health.
Studies have found that there is a direct link between the use of aromatherapy and hair growth.
A study performed by the Archives of Dermatology in 1998 by Scottish researchers found that aromatherapy can promote new hair growth. Patients who massaged various aromatherapy oils on their scalps every day enjoyed significant and measurable improvement in their hair growth.
7. Laughter Is The Best Medicine
Attitude is everything. Studies have shown that chronic negative moods can impact the human body and cause all human systems to slow down or become sluggish. This includes the circulatory system which feeds the roots of the hair, helping it to grow and remain properly nourished. When life gets you down rent a funny movie or read a humorous book. Take a break and have some fun to light your mood.
8. Eat Power Foods
Extreme diets that eliminate major food groups Always eat a balanced food plan that incorporates healthy amounts of proteins and carbs. Don't forget to take either your daily vitamins or your hair growth vitamins like HairTopia vitamins.

I've noticed that sometimes when I can't fall asleep and I get very few hours of rest,I don't have any problems the next day.Then,other times I'll get enough/a lot of sleep and I'll end up feeling drowsy and sluggish all day.Could someone explain this?
I am the same exact way! Im just the kind of person that likes to go to bed late and even though its kind of hard getting up in the morning, I feel less drowsy during the day. Its pretty normal, but everyones different. Everyone has a different number of hours they prefer to sleep. Theres nothing wrong with you. Its just when you sleep more, it gets harder and harder to stay up because you've been asleep so long that your body has been on "rest mode." And if you sleep a lot, your body will get used to this and it will be harder to wake yourself up from the groggy, drowsy feeling. Go to bed later at night if you have to.

I have a best friend, we are always together and on the phone and laughing and even speaking eachothers words.
She went away to visit her other friend and i called her and stuff to see what was going on, and she was being mean to me and like rude and it hurt my feelings so much.
She like acted like she didnt even wanna talk to me or anything.
For like 3 seconds she would act normal and then she would get all nasty and stuff.
And We even promised that while she was gone, we were still gonna be best friends.
Why would you think she was doing this to me?
It makes me so sad, shes my best friend ever.
I wouldnt be worried if you guys are always together and always laughing and that close. If you guys had a fight or something - then maybe you'd need to consider working it out, but Id leave it alone. Maybe she was having a bad day. You didnt do anything wrong to make her upset [at least, you didnt mention it if you did.] But, she would tell you if there was something wrong. I think youre taking it too personally. I wouldnt call her anymore when she's on vacation. Its VERY common for friends when they are with OTHER friends to act rude and snobby. Sometimes they dont try to, theyre just in the middle of something and not in the right mind to talk to another friend. A lot of people cant have more than one friend in their attention at a time. You've been that friend all the time..so maybe she just wants to spend a little time with someone else. Thats okay. :] It doesnt mean you guys are going to not be friends! Maybe she was having a bad day, but it was probably the first thing I said. Leave her be for awhile and let her have time with her other friend and I promise things will be normal when she gets back.

i dont see why when we give people advice that they dont want to hear, they rate us low. i think that we deserve better than that because we took time out of our lives to try to help them. why give us 1's for fairly good answers that arnt what you expected? does anyone have an opinion on this?!
-WoahThereBabe ♥
Well, if you look at my advice column I wrote a whole section on this! I know how you feel. But, the truth is SOME people on this site dont want real ADVICE, they want people to tell them everythings going to be "okay." I mean, look at how many questions are asked by girls that are asking US if a guy likes them! If we say no because it honestly doesnt seem like he does and we give our honest opinion to help them, they rate us low. Because they dont like our answer. Some people are only looking for "sugar coated" answers and some advice columnists are only GIVING those kind of answers. I think the best kind of advice is real and whole some and HONEST. I love hearing the truth - of course it hurts at first! No one likes to hear that maybe the reason they dont have a lot of friends is because of their personality! Or that guy just isnt into them..but you deal with it because in the end it will help you [them.] Ratings are kind of silly. I dont care TOO much about them, but of course it feels like a waste of my time when I give my opinion and good advice and get a 1. Just think of it this way - even if they dont LIKE it and give it a 1, they SAW it. And if they saw it, at least maybe they'll think about it and use it!

what is an orgasim?
"Orgasm is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, shared by both men and women. During orgasm, both men and women experience quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround both the anus and the primary sexual organs."
Thats the dictionary definititon, but in simpler words an orgasm is the climax a man or woman reaches (total pleasure) during sex or masturbation.

i get white heads a lot & idk how to clear them up, i tried everything proactiv, going to a dermatologist, tooth paste... ugg they wont go away! any tips to clearer skin?
thanx any advice will help=)
Heres some tips about whiteheads.
First of all, the best tip I can give you is to leave them alone..Really. Sometimes when you try everything such as proactive and toothpaste (especially) it dries your skin out and makes it worse. It helps to put hot water on the corner of a washcloth and press it gently to the spot

hey massie ur books are awesom i am like totally like u. but anyways i like this guy, but he is a year younger than me. i go to a private school and you just dont ask a younger guy out. i mean no one does that at our school. what should i do
13,female
jamie
Who cares what other people do? If you dont do something just because everyone else doesnt, you miss out on some AMAZING things in life. He's only a year younger than you. I know people who go out with people 2 or 3 or even 4 years younger than them! A year is not a big deal at all. Take a chance, maybe he will turn out to be someone you really like - even love! Dont miss out on oppertunities because youre afraid of what other people will think, because they really dont matter.

for a couple months ive always felt fat because i have a big stomach but everyone says im thin. i started not eating breakfast or lunch and then maybe dinner sometimes but after i eat dinner i make myself throw it up. throwing it up only started recently but i feel better afterwards. If i talked to a school guidance consuloer would they tell my mom. What happens
Ive been there..and trust me, youre headed on a path to death. Eating disorders are SERIOUS and I know now it feels good and youre thinking, "This is great! Im losing weight and I feel fine.." But, there are serious risks to eating disorders BESIDES death. You can do a ton of damage to your organs like your liver, your heart and your stomach. It also leads to depression after awhile. You lose your hair, and sometimes your teeth rot out. You can also hurt your espohagus when you throw up. Im not trying to preach I just hate when girls do this to themselves, which is kind of hypocritcal but I really think you should GET HELP. If you talked to a school guidance counselor, Im sure they would tell your Mom since its a disease. But, you should tell your Mom anyway because its a very serious problem. Your Mom wont be mad at you, she will want to get you help and she will be worried. But seriously, its better that you KNOW you have a bad habit now..rather than fixing it before its too late. So, please talk to a school guidance counselor or your Mom..anyone you can trust that can help you. ♥ Good luck.

hey i always wanted to scrunch my hair but everytime i try it comes out messed up. Any tips=)
Well, first of all scrunching GEL is KEY. I use Pantene PRO-V Style Curl defining scrunching gel. It works really well and you can buy it anywhere! :] So take a shower and wash your hair, then take your hair and put some gel on your hands and push it up towards your head. Do this a few times with all of your hair and then put your hair in a MESSY bun or 2 buns if you have a lot of hair. Then, go to sleep. I never dry my hair when I scrunch. When I wake up, my hair is still wet because of the gel.
