Hi. I'm 15 and I still haven't gotten my period. Should I be worried? What's the oldest I can be before I should start worrying? I know that all girls' bodies are different, but what's the average or normal age is all I want to know?
You're fine!
The ages in which girls start their periods range from 11-18, so you have nothing to worry about.

well, im 13 years old and i want a summer job but i still cant find one. ill work 3 times a week, no weekends. but the trouble is i cant find a job anywhere since im too young. i am in sunset park in brooklyn. do u know if there are any jobs around there that a 13 year old can work in?
In most places, 13 is too young to get an actual job. You can try babysitting, like suggested below, though =]

im 14.and ive been with my boyfriend for about a year&& 4 months.when we have sex he just pulls out.we havent been using protection for about 7months.i really dont like the sex with condoms.should i start using protection.do you think its safe?
I personally think you're WAY too young to be having sex in the first place, but it's your life and I'm not here to lecture you.
Any time you DO choose to have sex, you SHOULD be using protection. I don't understand why you don't think it would be safe. If you haven't started using protection, it's better to start now than before it's too late.

Hello Everyone:
I would to ask all of you something. Why does it seem like it's hard for good guys like me who dosen't, smoke, drink or do any of that bad stuff to find a right girl for him? It seems like there are a lot of girls out there who are nothing but trouble and always want want want all the time. I do not like girls who are always wanting stuff all the time. And it seems like all the good nice looking girls already have boyfriends. What is up with this?
Honestly? I don't know. Some girls just have no standards, no morals, nothing. They think that since a guy is their boyfriend, they have the right to be needy, and need something every second from him. They take advantage of him, and don't even care. And most of the poor guys don't even realize they don't deserve that kind of treatment.
Personally, I'd LOVE to find a guy like you. Guys who don't drink, smoke, or do any of those bad things are so much better than those who do [obviously]. And the fact that you realize girls who are needy aren't worth it is also amazing.
All I have to say, is don't give up. Like my friend who answered this [helloxdear13] said, keep trying. Don't lower your standards or give up your morals, because one day you WILL find the right girl for you. You'll find somebody who respects you, and doesn't constantly need something from you. And when you find that girl, she's going to be SO lucky to have a great guy like you.
Until then,
Best of luck =]

what can i do for my mum that is specail as a suprise for mothers day? i have a present for her but i want to suprise her with something... i always make her breakfast in bed and i want to do something different this year.... any ideas? ASAP mothers day is tomorro!
Get her flowers!
Or, put notes around the house saying nice things like "Thanks for always being there" or memories like, "I remember one time when..."
Or..make her dinner instead of breakfast, so it's different?
Good Luck!

Okay so I have 2 bffs, Kenzie and Bri. Bri and I have been friends since 4th grade, Im in 6th now. All of us are. Kenzie & I just met this year.. but anyway
well we all had this major fight for a really stupid reason and it really effected our relationship, even after words. Kenzie and Bri were never mad at eachother, so their relationship didnt suffer, just the one with me. They were all ganging up on me and stuff, and it was really annoying.
Well now they ALWAYS have plans together, and I feel left out.. It is really upsetting me and Ive tried telling them how I felt, but they just say "Well maybe you should make plans FIRST" But that is hard to do, considering they always have plans. And then on the bus they use MY phone to call and make plans for themselves, not even asking if I want to be part of it. It is really upsetting me. Ill ask "Hey can I spend the night tonight?" And shell say "No I want Bri to" and It just makes me want to cry. Today Im going to Alex's (youve heard about him, lol) birthday party with Kenzie. Its fine when kenzie and I are by ourselves, and its the same way with Bri and I. Bri always says we used to be like this *crosses her fingers* But now we are like this *sticks thumb and pinky finger out, all others down* and it makes me sad. They take it as a joke or get mad at me when I try to talk to them, and I dont want parents involved.
Thanx in Advance!
ALSO. Bri gets mad at me for stupid things like rolling my eyes. I dont know if that helps *laughs*, but w/e
P.s. I know this is off topic, but what should I give Alex for his birthday considering I have no money, at ALL.
I would talk to your friends. Talk to them both seperately though, or else they might try to gang up on you or something, which wouldnt be good.
Also, try to make plans with both of them. YOU need to make plans, with both of them, and with each of them seperately. So say on Friday night you go to a movie with Bri, and then Saturday go to the mall or something with both of them.
Or when they make plans, just ask to go with them. Say that you want to spend time with them and you feel left out when you don't.
And about Alex, you didn't mention an age, but how about:
- a giftcard.
- a cd.
- cologne.
- a book.
- a shirt of his favorite band.

how can i tell if a girl likes me? Im really bad with women, but how do I know the difference between her being really friendly vs her wanting to start a relationship. When we first met, she was really quiet ad I had to do most of the talking, but now she talks to me like a friend, and when we are at school sometimes she comes up to me and starts a conversation, and online she messages me about everyday. sometimes we play around in gym class, like we are back in elementary school, outside throwing grass at each other and one time we played duck duck goose. so what i need to know is that if she is being really friendly, or does she like me?

im going out with this guy he doesnt want to have sex right now.. i respect that.. but i have needs haha and i want it really bad and one of my best friends said he wants to hookup with me i like my boyfriend a lot but should i tell my boyfriend that i need a brake? i dont want to cheat on him... what should i do??
dont say just masturbate because its nowhere near as good as sex is
DO NOT CHEAT on your boyfriend. It's the WORST thing you can do.
You should respect your boyfriends morals and values, at least he HAS morals and values!
I know it may seem oh so hard not having sex with your boyfriend right now, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm not speaking from experience, but think about it, would you rather have sex with him via force and pressure or when he's ready and wants to?
If it becomes that big of an issue, maybe he's not the right guy for you. Relationships shouldn't have tension, and the issue of sex is a major cause of it.

so my best friends boyfriend likes me A LOT!
i told him to stop but he still keeps flirting.
he keeps calling me, he gave me a song and he write me a lot of notes. What should I do???
Ignore him and tell your best friend.
Your best bet is to be honest with her,
and NOT give him mixed signals.

Okay so me and my dad think my brother is just screwing with me, but anyways
there is this boy named tyler and apparently from everyone he thought i was "hot" and "cute" and the greatest thing since microwave popcorn haha.
well my brother said that tyler was a two timer and was cheating on his girlfriend and all of this. And he said other things that i wont get into because they are too long haha. But i just got a feeling and a vibe that something wasnt right. So my question, would you trust your gut on this one, or your brother who could just be telling you this so you wouldnt date his friend??
THANKS FOR ANSWERING
Thanks for inboxing!
Well, it's hard to say...
I would ask Tyler about it. I'd ask him what he thinks of you, or have a friend do it. Ask him if he really thinks you're the "best thing since microwave popcorn" ;]
You'll never know for sure unless you ask! I will say, though, if you have a bad feeling about it, you're probably right. Gut reactions rarely lie.

I'm on the Varsity dance team at my school, and we need a song to go with one of our routines since we're no longer allowed to compete with our old song since it was used by other teams.
It needs to be upbeat, with music changes ( as in beat) but it can't be all techno. please help! any suggestions would be great!

i am 15,
i didnt get my period all through april, and i got it may 2. but it was a very light flow, and it only lasted for two days. ive never ever had any type of sex in my life, ive only had one boyfriend and all i did was kiss him. thats it. i dont even know how to put a tampon in! and it hurts to anyway. but how come that period thing happened? like im not pregnant. i cant be. that would make absoulutely no sense. ive never even touched anything down there. so yeah. that makes no sense. but this like never happens. in my head i feel fat. but thats just my mind confusing me, because this is my natural weight ive always had a bit of a little stomache. but everyone does right? but anyway im confused..please tell me what is wrong with me!
Chances are, you're fine. During the first 2 years of your period, the cycle etc tends to vary and change. It will become more regular as you get older.

I like this one boy named Irwin in my third period Nutrition and Wellness. He is really cute and i sort of think that he might like me back. I think this because i'll sometimes see him staring in my direction and sometimes look at me. He's a senior and im a junior. I've never talked to him before but i really want to and don't know what to do especially because im really shy. does anybody know what i should do???
