i'm in 9th grade & i still haven't used a tampon yet. i'm just really scared to stick something up there.. i almost did it one time but it like wouldn't go up or i wasn't doing it right or something. i want to use them really badly though, and i feel stupid that i've had my period for 3 years & still haven't used one. can someone tell me what it feels like the first time you use it, and how i shold put it up there and stuff? (link)

It's no big deal at all! A lot of people choose not to use them. It is totally up to you. Here is a great site that provides step-by-step instructions of what to do:
http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/azhealthtopics/ht/How_Insert_Tamp.htm
Generally, you can't really "feel" a tampon in you. Maybe right after you for the first few minutes or so, but try to get it up as far as possible. (You won't get it stuck up there!) Don't pull it out if it's not full (after 4-8 hours depending on your flow and the absorbency of the tampon). If you need to sooner for whatever reason, you may want to try peeing because it will moisten it and be easier to get out. For the first time you should pick a low grade absorbency like Slim Fit or Regular.
Good luck! :)

Okay well I'm 15/f and I think what us girls have down there are so fricking gross.
Is this normal? (link)
| |
Some girls don't mind it, and others do. It simply means you are healthy and maturing. It does however serve a purpose. It helps to block some bacterias from entering, and can help with the friction caused by intercourse. It is up to you if you would like to shave it though. Some girls do. Whatever suits you best. :)

ok, well my mom MAKES me sign on to AIM. its super weird. she wants me to leave an away message and the first thing she does when she comes home is go on the computer, so i don't wanna keep my AIM opened because its just weird that she's reading my stuff. w/e it is, it's just awkward. so, i told her i didn't want to, and she still MAKES me. she tells me like a speech. i don't like to do that. i'll sign on at night and stuff but i don't like to have away messages on during the day and stuff so anyone that uses the computer could see everything. lol. so, what do i do? (link)

Well, as your parent she does have a right to know what you are doing/saying and to whom you are talking to on the internet. She is probably just trying to look out for you because the internet can be so dangerous. I know you said you already tried, but you sould try again to talk to your mom. Express to her how you are feeling and calmly tell her that you feel like she doesn't trust you and you wish she did. Hopefully you have not or will not do anything major to lose this trust. If she still doesn't let up just warn some of your friends not to leave any messages that could get you in trouble, or leave up an away message that say's "Mom's on the computer", or something like that. Or, you could also try just staying off the net for a whole week and maybe she will see that you don't even use it that much so she won't want to see it. Just hang in there. :)

How can I have confidence...because i want to be able to talk in front of my class and do all the stuff and go t the mall without worrying waat ppl think about me.......my question is How Can i get Confidence????? (link)
| |
First, focus on what makes YOU happy--not other people. Be proud of who you are and what you have to offer. Being confident doesn't have to mean being cocky. Compliment yourself. Be positive. Everytime you think or say a ngative thought about yourself, say 2 positive things in place of them. Also, you may want to try places sticky notes around your house in places you will walk by with positive notes on it. Give yourself a new look. Get a new outfit. Practice giving a speech in front of your mirror so you can see how you will look, or better yet, practice in front of close friends and family. When you BELIEVE in yourself, others will too. :)

Ok..I have a very, very irregular period..but I got on birthcontorl because I didn’t have a cycle for atleast 4 months, so for about 2 weeks I got on birthcontal and the whole to weeks I was on my perriod, and it made my tummy hurt so I stoped taking it! And about 2 or 3 weeks after that me and my boyfriend had sex 9times without a comden, and I was off the pill, and he did not pull out…so is there a possaiblety that I migth be pergant..even thought my period is very irregular? (link)
| |
Anytime you have sex you run a risk of getting pregnant. Wearing a condom and/or being on birth control greatly reduces these risks, but does NOT eliminate the possibility. So, unfortunately, yes there is a chance. Especially since you have sex not just once or twice, but 9 times. Even though you have an irregular period--you can still get pregnant. All that means is there's more "stuff" sitting on the lining of your uterus not being released. My suggestion for you would be to make your boyfriend wear a condom, get back on the birth control, take a pregnancy test/and/or go to a doctor, and become aware. :)

okay well im 16, female. and theres this guy that i really really like, unforetunately i have a boyfriend right now, but im defintaly thinking of breaking up with him...for the guy i like. the guy i like is a "ladies man" though. he flirts with every girl, and it makes me mad, he tells me im the only girl he really has feelings for though, so i believe him..but he gave me his myspace password to fix it up and stuff,..but me being nosey and all i had to look at his inbox and it said stuff to girls like some of the stuff he tells me about how i sohuldnt be jealous of anyone cause im the only one who could ever dream about caring about, and stuff like that. so i talked to him about it..but i didnt say like i saw your myspace i was just like i hate the fact that you treat all the girls the way you treat me..and then he said "well i cant help it that i am the way i am
i cant just change my personality" and that was that...but im not sure if can trust him..ive been cheated on before and it wasnt fun, it hurt like hell. and i just dont wanna get hurt again..help!! (link)

Simply put for you: there should be a couple reg flags coming up when you think about this situation. First off, let's address the issue of you possibly considering/wanting to end your relationship with your current boyfriend for another guy. Obviously there is some reason for this--more so than just because there is another guy in the picture. Are you not feeling fufilled? You need to get to the root of it. 1. It is not fair to your current boyfriend to be in the dark about all of this and 2. It is not fair to the other guy because that gives him the wrong indication about you. With that said, you have to take into thought hte fact that this new guy is talking to you, flirting with you, and trying to work something up with you knowing full well that you are in a relationship. That shows a lack of respect right there. It also shows him you are more of "fling" material because you come off as more unstable in terms of a relationship. Also, I think it's really good that you look at his Myspace stuff. Guys are not always going to be honest--so sometimes you have to play detective! The fact that you found what you did should be evidence enough. A guy will always tell you "what sounds good". What he writes behind your back is something totally different. Ultimately you are the only one that can make your final decision, but hopefully my words here will help to guide you.The fact that he told you I just can't change my personality should signal to you that this guy is pretty set in his ways and is going to continue being that way. If you think you would be willing to tolerate that battle, then by all means, more power to you. If you are finding red flags and having doubts this early on, image what will be later down the road. I'm not saying the guy isn't good. He may be a nice guy, be he needs to be more honest and more clear about his intentions. Lastly, I think you need to talk to your current boyfriend and let him know what's up. If you feel like something is missing that can be fixed--communicate. And just because there are 2 guys doesn't mean you have to pick only either of them. Best of luck, and remember, it's okay to get hurt as long as you get back up. :)

my uncle burned me a cd with a bunch of songs but didnt give me the names or the artists. i really like this song and i wanna know what the name is and who sings it ...
youre the last thing that i claim before i fall asleep at night
youre the first thing that i reach for in the early morning light
youre the name that i see written in the stars
youre the face i see in every cloud
oh i wish you could've been more like your memory and kept hanging around
youre that tap on my shoulder
youre that voice in the croud
youre that constant distraction
youre that book i cant put down
youre the name that i see written in the stars
youre the face i see in every cloud
oh i wish you could've been more like your memory and kept hanging around
it keeps haunting me
i still want and need to always live
youre every thought i think
every sight i see
every feeling i feel
youre the name that i see written in the stars
youre the face i see in every cloud
oh i wish you could've been more like your memory and kept hanging around
youre the last thing that i wish for
before i fall asleep at night
thanks =] this is a country song (link)

The artist is Billy Currington and the name of the song is "Hangin' Around". :)

I just got my braces off and i have a retainer now. My orthodontist told me to wear it all the time except when im eating or brushing my teeth but i was just wondering, if i go like 4 hours without wearing it everyday, will my teeth actually shift? how many of you (with experience with retainers of course)actually wore ur retainer ALL the time? (link)
| |
Your orthodontists recommendation to constantly wear a retainer is the best advice you can get. It is very effective. Generally, they tell you to wear it 24/7 for 6 months and then only at night after that. This is crucial. Especially when you just get them off. While it seems like a pain, it's worth it. In the first days, weeks, and months after getting them off, your teeth can and usually will shift without a retainer. I'm not saying it will go completely crooked, but you will see a difference. If you leave it out for those 4 hours everyday, you will notice a difference. Maybe not right away, but you will. When you place the retainer back in, it won't lay aw well and it will be stiff. I wore mine for the entire 6 months AND continue to wear it only at night religiously for the past 3 years. If you are worried about what the kids at school with think, just remind yourself SO many other people have to do it too--and you're going to have pretty teeth and a pretty smile! :)

18/f I have been thinking about getting a Brazilian bikini wax for a while now. Could someone tell me about the procedure from start to finish. Does it hurt a lot? Thanks! (link)
|
Pain tolerence is going to vary from person to person. The following website tells you ample information about the whole process: http://www.fashion-icon.com/brazil.html
On that site it says you are likely to pay anywhere from 45 dollars and up. I've heard of it sometimes costing up to 70 dollars. It varies from place to place.
A lot of people just prefer to shave, but it's totally up to you. :)

my dad's offering to buy me a used car. what are some cute cars that aren't too awfully expensive? (link)
|
Car preferences are always going to vary from person to person. Since you didn't really specify how much exactly your dad is going to be spending I am just going to assume between 5 and 10 thousand. Now, the best "bang for your buck" so to speak is generally going to be any car from the following makers: Nissan, Toyota, and Honda--and their higher ups..Ie:Infiniti, Lexus and Acura. There are several other great brands too, but these cars are NOT American made, have great resale value, and are virtually maintanence free, minus the usuals. While Mercedes and BMW are good cars their repair parts are extremely expensive. So, keep that in mind. If you search: Autotrader.com you can search by price and brand of car. Also, take note of the fact that while Kia and Huyndai brands are really affordable, they don't have a very reputable name. Also, smaller SUVs are cute, but they have a rough ride and are higher on gas. My personal suggestions would be something like:
Toyota: Corolla or Camry
Honda: Civic or Accord
Nissan: Maxima or Altima

is there any way to stop recieving emails on facebook saying things like "jessica has wrote on your wall" because i get like 10 emails a day.. (link)
|
Well, I just went in and looked at all the settings about that and unfortunately you can't. Here is what it said on there: Getting too many friend request and Wall posting notifications? It's tough being popular. Unfortunately there is no way to turn these off the notifications. However, you can give us an alternate address where we'll send all of that stuff. You can do this from the "Settings" tab of the My Account page.
To find this, and other information I simply clicked on the Help option and under the "Other" column there is something for facebook emails.

how do you guys say no jokingly to someone that offers you a smoke?like do you say"no,carry on and enjoy yourselves" or "I feel bad about taking your share",how do you guys push away the offer in a good manner? (link)
|
Well, first of all, you should never feel like you have to bite your tongue when it comes to your beliefs and values. People will respect you if you just come out and say " No thanks, I don't smoke" or "No thanks, but I'm not into that" This way you are acknowledging the offer, but making it clear you don't want to do it. Don't feel pressured. 99.9% of time people will leave you alone after you say that. If they tease you or something, just stand your ground and say nicely "Haha, no really, I don't want it, but you go ahead."

Im in high school. My 9th grade year i was dating this boy named Cj. He turned out to be a lying cheating jerk and dumped me on our anniversary. There was this boy named ben who basically would help me out when i was upset about cj. Well 10th came around and Ben and i started dating on and off for a year. We had problems with fighting alotso he broke up with me a week before my birthday. Well im having trouble trying to get over him. Im interested in other guys and im going out and having fun with my friends but i still cant get over him. what can i do to get over him? (link)

Like it or not, the age-old answer to that question is: Give it time. Although it's probably not what you are wanting to hear, it is the most effective. It's great that you are sourrounding yourself with friends and fun things to do.Try not to dwell so much on the fact that the two of you broke up, but rather that you were lucky enough to have that experience of that particular relationship. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't be where you are now. You most likely have grown and matured quite a bit through this relationship and experience. Use it as a learning tool to help mold you for the next relationship that may come along. Don't be anxiously awaiting a new relationship, just focus on you. Since the new school year is here, join some clubs. Be active. Pick up a new hobby. Give yourself a makeover. Soon enough you will find yourself not being "down in the dumps". I'm not saying you can't be sad, or remember, but don't dwell. Everyone gets through it, you can too. :)

There's this girl... and last year she bothered me/ called me names ALL year (she was in 3 of my classes). And the other day I was at my highschool for preseason soccer (we haven't started school yet) and she happened to be there for school pictures. She comes up to me and says, "Hey you ugly a** b****!" I was kinda mortified, if you know what I mean. And I really don't want my 4 high school years to be filled with being bullied around. I mean I'm tired of it and not really sure what to do or who to talk to...
(link)
|
Well, I think it's really brave of you to open up. A lot of people are afraid to admit they are a victim of bullying. And although sometimes, there is a cause for it, sometimes you are just targeting when you have done nothing wrong. Don't feel alone; it can happen to anyone. Here is a really good site on bullying and included is a confidential hotline you can call:
http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=014598&tid=071
Like it says on that site, tell a trusted adult. School districts take that as a big deal. The don't tolerate it. So speak up. Tell a school principal or counselor or even your soccer sponsor.

Does anyone know any kind of home remedies or creams or anything for a cold sore? (link)
|
I found this website for you which seems to cover just about everything pertaining to the topic. It includes causes, advice, and home remedies. Here it is:
http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/home-remedy/cold-sores.html
Now, if you are looking for something that's very effective there is a gel/medicine called Abreeva. It is available at all local grocery stores and drug stores. It is costly though--on average about 15-18 dollars for a tube.

hi, well today me and my friends went into this "asian fish market" store after school, like we usually do. And my friend bought a chocolate bar, and while he was opening it, he looked at the use-by date and it had allready gone off. i still have the bar, and my friend took picturs , even of the owner! what shall we do? should we report him to the health service? thanks in advance (link)
| |
Generally, you need to look at the contact number located on the back of the wrapper. It will provide you with a 1800 number. You can call and complain, but you'll need the wrapper to provide them with the packaging info. They will probably accomadate you for the inconvienance. :)

I need advice on whether or not to get this notebook/laptop, I am wondering if you think that a Tablet Laptop is better or worse then a regular one. (link)
| |
I can tell you from first hand experience that the tablet editions are not all they are cracked up to be. They really aren't all that useful for a teen. Maybe if you were going to be using it in the workforce. They are more costly than regular notebook lap tops because of the "show factor". They have a lower battery life and crash a lot. For the money, a regular lap top is better. Good brands of lap tops are: Song, HP, Toshiba, and Compaq. I would suggest NOT to get a Dell. If you are looking at getting something with a "wow factor" there are a few lap tops that require a finger print to log in! That's neat if you ask me. :)

Well i really like this kid in my class hes new.
ANd like hes really mean but sometimes hes really nice and i mean i fell so comfortable around him.
But then whe n he hangs around with him one friend he totally changes but i really like him.
But my friends hate him.
Please help me! (link)
|
Well, first off, why don't you just introduce youself and talk about school related stuff to help break the ice? That's always a good excuse. Just be yourself. Now with that said, if he avoids you or is rude around friends, you don't need someone like that. And if your friends don't like him, take note of that--I'm not saying listen to them right off the bat, but sometimes are friends see things from an outside perspective that we don't. But yeah, if you like him, make small chit-chat with him. And say something like "Hey did you do the homework last night?" or "Hey I really like that shirt you have on." or "How do you like the school so far"
:)
