Q: my girlfriend was over one time. and i asked her if she wanted to have sex and she said no. which i figured since shes waiting for marriage. then i decided i didnt care and i sat on her and forced her clothes off. shes really tiny and week she weighs like 91 and i weigh 156 so it wasnt hard. she tried to get me off of her but we both knew she couldnt. so my friend who was coming over to hang out with us came. and he held her down while i fingered her. she was screaming and telling me to stop but i didnt. then he sat on her and held her legs apart while i stuck my dick in her vagina. she was screaming and crying for us to stop she said it hurt.so my friend told me to punchh her so she will shutup so i did. i didnt mean to punch her that hard but she passed out. so i finished up and my friend left. and i just stared at her. i didnt mean to hurt her. i love her soo much. and i couldnt believe all the bruises all over her shoulders,legs,arms,colar bone and her face was dripping blood. so i got a towel and wiped it off. then when she woke up she couldnt move so i helped her get dressed and carried her home. i kept apoligizing but she didnt say anything to me. when i see her in school she looks scared and runs away from me. how cdo i get her to tlak to me thanks.

Personally, I'm surprised that she hasn't called the police, and if she were to come on here I would suggest that she did.

I would suggest that you stop attempting to contact her. You have hurt her in a way beyond repair, and no amount of discussion will fix that.

Q: 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

I'd answer this question in a different way, personally, using basic algebra instead of trial and error.

You know that...

150 = (137 + 165 + 142 + 139 + X ) / 5

So...

150 * 5 = 583 + X

So...

750 - 583 = X

So...

X = 167

Q:
my (first) boyfriend of 2 days asked me out on a (first) date. i dont want him to "make a move" so should i::

1. tell him that i already had plans with my friends to go to the mall, but he can come and bring friends

2. tell him that my parents wont let me see a movie with him alone, so tell him that i need to bring friends.

3. other

((also, will there still be a chance either way that he'll make a move?))

cause i dont want to have to tell him that im not ready.

im so stressed. HELP!

Congrats on the new boyfriend!

What I would do in your situation is to suggest to him that it might be more fun for the both of you if you got a bunch of your friends together and went out in a big group. If he really wants to know why, tell him that you're not allowed to go on single dates yet.

There is a possibility that he might try something, but if he does, just nicely let him know that you're really not ready yet, and you want to take time to get to know him better before you go that extra step.

Q: 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.

If you're not ready to deal with the possible consequences of sex, then you're not ready to have sex.

There are tons of fun things to do without having sex, and it's really better if you wait until you're old enough to deal with anything that could go wrong. Then you're not paranoid and you can relax more!

If you're going to go ahead with it anyways, then I would NOT suggest Trojans. Durex are the best... never had one break before. My personal favourite is Sensi-Thin.

Q: ok ive always been pretty good at math & algebra but advanced geometry is kicking my butt!! soo id love for someone to help me with this problem.

ok its a triangle that is inscribed in a circle and i have to find the values of x & y.

the measure of one angle in the triangle is 2x. thats all the info for the triangle. i know the answer is 30 since the total is 180 degrees, but i dont know the equation to show how i got that.. because 2x=180 would be 90.. so would it be like (3)2x=180?

and also, around the circle, the measures are 6y, 6y again, and 4x. i have no idea what to do there.. in our sample prob we used either substitution or elimination, but how do you do it when theres only 3 measures, because the probs with the inscribed polygons have 4 measures so its easy?

also please dont say go ask my teacher. im convinced she doesnt like kids or answering questions and she'd be about as much help as a brick wall...

thanks!

Okay... the written description of this is really confusing.

How about this... I give you my e-mail address, and if you can scan the diagram you're using, then I may be able to help out.

You can reach me (through e-mail or MSN) at amanda_scott_87@hotmail.com

I'm a 2nd year engineering/technology student, and have a lot of experience with geometry.

Q: 120/f/14
im going to go on a diet & all these websites are saying to eat breakfast & i never do because i try to save calories or whatever. but anyways.. my question is what is the quickest, best things to eat in the morning that dont have many calories or fat? thank you!

I'm doing South Beach right now, and finally started eating breakfast for the first time in years.

What I like is a low calorie, low cholesterol option; I hardboil two eggs, take out one of the yolks (so I'm only eating one... that's where all the cholesterol is) and eat a piece of low-fat cheese with it.

It's pretty quick... eggs are nice and easy, too! And you can spice it up with a bit of hot sauce, if you like.

Q: I know what kegel exercises are and I do them daily, but when you're having sex, can guys actually tell when you're doing them? Like, can they feel you squeezing around them or are they too busy pushing in and out of you that they don't notice?

Any input would be great, thanx!!

If you get the timing right, it's mind-blowing.

My favourite times to flex those muscles are when he's pulling out, or just after he's orgasmed.

Q: Is universal fun? I've heard from some people its a blast and others its not that great. What do you guys think?

(Please only answer this question if you've been there. thanks (: )

I only did half... Islands of Adventure.

It was fun... mostly because it was pouring rain all day and we didn't have to wait in line!

However, there weren't as many rides as I might have hoped. The theming was amazing, but that only goes so far when you're paying 60 bucks to get in, in my opinion.

My verdict: if you're going to either Universal or Disney, go to Universal. I wouldn't return to either, though.

Q: Ok...i'm 16, my parents are going away and my aunt is staying with us. She already told me i could have some people over, like 10ish...and that we could drink.

Should i do it?? I'm a little worried about being caught, but i feel like if we're careful we wont get caught....

Advice??? I feel like its all a part of being in highschool :)

It's not all a part of being in high school. I was a perfectly normal teenager (sort of :P) and I NEVER had or went to a party that had alcohol present.

How about having a slumber party with your friends?

If you're a girl, rent some great movies, get a couple cartons of ice cream and tubes of cookie dough, and go crazy!

If you're a guy, get everyone to bring their gaming systems / controllers over, rent a bunch of games, and stay up all night.

Q: I'm going to summer school this summer, but it's not at an actual school, it's an online class. I'm taking it so that next year I won't have to take it and I can have minimum day to get out of school early my senior year. :]

This is my question. The class lasts from May 23-July 23, and the syllabus says that I'll need to spend a minimum of 10 hours a week on the class doing assignments and reading the textbook. Do you think I'll have enough time to do the class, work part-time, and have a social life?

Thanks!!

Absolutely. I know people who carried a 30 hour a week courseload, part time job and relationship PLUS social life. So it's very doable. Just make sure that you schedule your time very carefully!

Q: Hello. I had no clue what category this would go under. I was going to look to see if anyone else has asked this before, but I wasn't sure where they would've put it. My lips are burning really bad right now and they usually don't this much. I use just regular chapstick a lot throughout the day and I put a lot of it on. I use the mint, cherry and strawberry kind. Sometimes the regular kind too. I don't know if there's any chapstick or lip gloss that has made your lips really soft before, to where they're not chapped often or even burning. If anyone knows please let me know asap! I'll be going to the store soon. Thank you very much. Oh and it's not that my lips are chapped. They're soft, but right now they're burning. So I just want something really good that you've used before.

I like the way that Blistex makes my lips feel, but I hate the flavours. Then they came out with their fruity trio, and I haven't looked back since!

Q: what do the lyrics of the song "wonderwall" by oasis mean?

There's a great website, www.songmeanings.net, which was built for this purpose. People pretty much discuss what they think of the song and what it means. Here's the link to 'Wonderwall' by Oasis.

Q: can you please name the shampoo and conditioner that you use (or that you know of) and makes your hair shiny and silky and strong??

currently i use fructis sleek and shine... it works ok for me but I was planning on switching to something else.

i've heard that Pantine Pro-V, Herbal Essences, Bed head, and Tres'emme work good

any helpful ideas? thanks bunches

If you want a cheap solution, I use Suave Coconut shampoo and conditioner. It seems to work really well for me, since I have really healthy hair! Plus, it's only 3 dollars a bottle.

Q: Prom is coming up, and my friend has been trying to convince me to go tanning with her. So i went today, and it was pretty okay. but when i got home i found a website saying all these risks about tanning and i'm not sure i should go again....

Do tanning beds really cause skin cancer and other skin diseases? are there safe ways to get a tan?

There is no safe, real tan. Any excessive exposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancer later in life. The only 'safe' way is to use a spray-on tanner, since that is just a dye that soaks into the outer layer of your skin.

I know it makes you look pretty now, but remember this; exposure to UV rays can lead to premature aging. You won't look so pretty at 35 with wrinkles and cancerous skin lesions!

Q: Okay, two things. First of all, I'm a very religous person -- or I try to be. But I have an issue with one of the commandments. Is it wrong for me to "want to have sex with" another woman's husband? He's middle-aged and I'm only 13/f! Which kind of scares me... but he's famous and everything and is like... 41 so yeah. Anyways, my other problem is this...
I'm Catholic and I've always strongly believed in God and Jesus and Mary and Guardian Angels and Heaven etc. ever since I was a little girl. Like first--second grade. And I'm proud. I used to always pray and buy products and prayer products etc. because of it. But lately I've lost faith. I've been thinking, "what if the bible is some book someone wrote and someone missunderstood it?" which i KNOW is not true! or something like that
please helppp

I know it may seem otherwise, but your questioning of your religion is what makes you a good Catholic. People who are indoctrinated as children, and never question their faith, have no real faith, because they've never really thought about what they're believing. If you can question the validity of the Bible, and still believe that it's right and true, then you haven't lost faith, you've strengthened it!

As for the other issue, it's not wrong to want it, necessarily. To act on that, however, would be wrong no matter what religion you follow. Try to keep your little fantasies to yourself, because it's no fun being a homewrecker.

Q: oka i have this friend that stayed over at another friend house and at the middle of the night she had left that friend and sneak out of the house with a boy to have sex with. Should that friend be mad at her for doing that?

Absolutely. The same thing happened to me, when my friend insisted upon coming to visit for 5 days because she was going through a crisis. She ditched me and started sleeping with one of my friends.

Q: my cats hate me. theres 2 of them. whenever i try to pet them they run away. but sometimes they'll come running to me. its like they only like me for 10minutes once a week and thats the only time they'll let me pet them. what's the point of having cats if you cant pet them. ok so yeah how do i get them to like me. food does not work!

Hate to break it to you... cats are cats. They always will be. Getting a cat to be cuddly and affectionate all the time is like trying to make the sky green and the grass blue.

Cats are really independent. There's nothing you can really do other than hope that as they get older they'll become more affectionate.

That, or get a dog. Dogs tend to exhibit more of the behaviours you're looking for.

Q: Hello. im 13 I cant seem to find the right color eyeliner or right color eyeshadow for me. im Brunette. i have medium brown hair past my shoulders. i need help on what color to wear and some people tell me all these different styles of how to put it on and it always looks weird on me. like alittle past my age kind of makeup. so if you could tell me what color i should wear and post some links to pictures of what styles of how i should put it on that looks like a 13 year old girl would wear her makeup. That would be great! Plzzz&&Thnxxx

I'd go for a very simple routine. You're absolutely right in thinking that a lot of makeup will make you look old.

I'd go for brown mascara, eyeshadow in a neutral or light pastel colour (I'd suggest a khaki green based on your colouring), and a little blush and lip gloss.

If you don't need foundation, don't wear it. It causes premature aging and is not good for your skin.

Avoid dark, unnatural colours. If you can, when you're shopping for makeup ask the ladies at the store for help. They know what they're talking about.

Here's how I do eyeshadow, just for reference. I've been doing it the same way since I started wearing makeup 7 years ago.

3 colours in the same palette, right? Take the medium colour and brush it over your eyelid. Use the lightest to dab the very inner corner of your eye. Then use the darkest one to trace the line of your upper lid, very carefully.

Always remember, the best kind of beauty is natural beauty, so make sure that whatever makeup you're wearing emphasizes your face, without overwhelming it.

Q: I would never ever buy a computer over a laptop.
What is your personal opinion?

I think it is better to wait a couple of months more so you can gather a little bit extra money to buy a laptop especially since they are as well upgradeable.

Wich are the most reliable portable computers?

I have both, although I just got my laptop this Christmas.

What I did, and what I think is the right course of action, is to have a really good desktop. Then you can get a really inexpensive laptop during a sale (I got mine during the Boxing Day sales) and you'll have both.

Pros and cons of desktop:
- Better ergonomics (using a laptop too frequently can lead to back pain, eye strain and carpal tunnel syndrome)
- More easily upgradeable. You can do it yourself rather than having to hire someone to do it.
- More memory
- Can't take it with you.
- Bigger.

Pros and cons of laptop:
- Can dock it with a monitor and keyboard.
- You can take it with you.
- Not easily upgradeable.
- More expensive.

Whatever computer you're getting, don't get a Dell. Everyone I know who has a Dell has had serious trouble with it. Plus, you can get a better computer for less money, if you time your purchase right.

I have a Gateway desktop and laptop, and I love them both.

Q: Heyy!~
i need help
i heard ur hair is thick and smooth, stuff like that but my hair is stringy and kinda messy in the morning so i need to know something.
What is the best shampoo that is not like 400 dollars?? (LOL)

I've got thick, straight, fine hair. I personally love Suave Coconut shampoo and conditioner. It's really cheap (only 3 or so dollars a bottle) and it smells great.

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
