does anyone know where i could put one of my poems online? ill rate 5's! (link)

Well, yes I do and a whole lot more too. If you really desire to a great writer at a young age go to ypp.net they will teach you how, publish your stories, articles and poetry. Highly recommended. Avoid poetry.com it's a scam to get you to buy stuff you do not want--they will print everyone. You however, need people from Young People's Press to teach you about structure and where you went wrong in your writing. A good first step for any writer. You also have to be hungry for it. If desire is lacking to study and work hard do not go into journalism it will break you.


wel... i just started my period... in the beginning of the summer (im 13) and ive been useing pads......well ther a pain in the ass!!! so0o i wanna start usin tampons but..... i donno.....i cant imagine shoving a string with a lot of coton strips up u! lol so should i be scared?? cuz... i donno wat 2 du.....! help..pleez lmao

thanx yall

me! (link)


It's a personal choice. Ask your mother, cousin, sister about this issue in confidence. If it hurt that much or killed someone (I'm not refering to toxic shock syndrome which you need not worry) you would hear it on the news everynight--12-year-old dead as a result of using tampon wrong. You see silly ;) You only fear it because of the mystery surrounding it and never having used one.

The best thing to do is get a sample at a nurse's office if they still have them at school, read the pamphlet and try to use one. You will not ace it on the first try but there is indeed only one way they do in fact go.

I would look at tampax.com and read about them
before doing anything or continuing to be scared about it. Millions use them--they don't die-suffer etc. So do not fret. If you want to use them simply learn how.



okay my little sister is trying out for a play TOMORROW but she left her tryout CD at our dads house.. (ands that a couple hours away..) she doesnt know the song very well.. so if anyone could tell me any sites similar to Singingfish.com and CDZINC.com, the song is, never fully Dressed, the play is ANNIE.. if anyone can help THANKS :) (link)


Find out who has the rights by going online to the
script of Annie for one thing. Samuel French holds a lot of that. Then start calling bookstores that
sell plays and musical scores-. In Toronto there are tons. I do not know about your city.

Also, rent the movie Annie if it is a major number
in the musical movie version at least she can write the words down and give it a whurl. Worst comes to worst, your sister can tell them we left it in my dad's car out of town--but I sing and dance to just about anything you would like--I would like my opportunity at this role. They will give it to her--an opportunity at least for honesty. Have her prepare a monologue and an extra song too boot.


its been 12 days since my last period and ive been having cramps for like a week and i still have them. its my first year, so could i be getting it. or whats going on? (link)

Sounds like you have menstruation happening for sure. While not a girl I know a lot about female issues. It is normal to cramp before or after a period. However, I really am not sure nor do I think cramping for a week is normal--do not freak out. Ask your mother about this to calm your fears. At the very highest level this ought to go is a drug store for menstrual
cramp medication and or a gyaencologist to see what is or is not happening there. Good luck!


ive been with this girl for 2 weeks and i like her and everything but the first date we went on, she pretty much ripped off her shirt and was offering herself to do anything to me, ya it was ok at first but i like girls that dont want to give something at first to me.. i like a challenge, everytime were together she wants to do sexually stuff , i mean im a guy, and im all for that trust me but its every single time i see her.. i like taking a girl out, going to chill at home watch a movie or go out to one, go out to an amusement park.. not always doing that kind of stuff to eachother now that i realise how she just seems to want to give everything up to me i dont like that and i want to break things off with her, but im not sure on what to say to her when i break it off with her.. my chick friend advised me to do this, so all your help would be appreciated! (link)

This one is easy. Tell her you like her for more beauty and or sexual attraction and ask her to go
easy here and that sex is not what your interest is right away. Tell her you respect her and she
ought to respect herself and her reputation and
button up. She may not like that at first but you are letting her know you want something else
and she should back off or find someone else. She might appreciate you because you are not all over her. Something tells me this one may have sexual related issues from her past. Never know.


ok i like this guy alot! lol and well he likes me so yea ...i need some tips on making out ? what has worked for you kind of thing? (link)


What works for one does not work for all. You will only learn from one another. What's so wrong in trying?


Ok i've got 4 questions. If you answer all of them i'll rate you a five, unless you give me some dumbass kind of answer ;).
1.-how do you get a guy to like you
2.-how do you get a guy to notice you
3.-how can i flirt?
4.-how do i know if he's flirting back at me?
btw, i'm 15/f, skinny, natural red hair, blue eyes, (i think that i'm ok looking), i play sports, and i'm nice to everyone.
please help me!
*~*thanks*~* (link)

I will just mention to the above person I have seen a lot more than you have in my 27 years and in being a teenager who hated life back then. If
If I sounded like a dumbass, trust me, I am not. I have been through an assortment of things and a
lot of what I am telling you truly works. You
cannot solve a problem with the same frame of mind that made it not with your hand stuck in a cookie jar unwilling to let go, or by drinking
a tub of bleach and letting it affect you each day. Letting go and the maturity that comes from that--vital.


ok so heres the deal, there is this guy in some of my classes and iive known him for a couple of years weve just never been friends really, and for two night in a row now ive had this wierd dream with him in it, whats this all about??

and i didnt know what category to put this in (link)

Sounds normal for most girls--guys too. It's just fantasy and nothing to worry about even if sexual. A dream is just a subconcious picture and seldom if ever means much. I would relax.


Ok, so I have a step mom who is a complete and total bitch, and all she ever does is nag, nag, nag. Does any one have advice on how to well I dunno... ignore her, or somthing? Ill rate 5's.
13/f (link)


First of all, did you ever think she wants to get to know you? You are pushing her away and it is almost like a fight where only one of you is
connecting with punches. What you sense to be nagging is her way of showing love and support and making sure you learn what bothers others and what does not.

As far as ignoring her forget it. This never ever works and will not. She is your step-mother so you better get mature about the situation and make the best of it. Would it kill you to open up inside and let her in or vice versa?

Your problem is you love your real mother and do
not want someone taking her place. This person cannot do that and would never try. She just wants a fair shot at getting to know and care for you.

Also, understand this do not try to drink poison or liquid bleach. Why because if it does not kill you it will eventually and is posion. That is what anger and hate does to you internatlly, mentally, emotionally. Do not drink in mentally a bathtub full each day. Let things go, unfold and give this person a shot--you may find she is well worth knowing.


Why are people so obsessed with being trendy? Why does everyone feel the need to wear the latest clothes, or listen to the latest music(Rap usually). What happened to people being individuals, and being happy with who they are? This isnt really a good question, but it gets on my nerves how people act sometimes. (link)

In society, people cannot be individuals but they can at home or in a small group. Why? We all want to be liked and loved and going outside of what others are doing seems a risk few people want to take or make. So, we copy clothing, music etc. etc. If you want to be different try different music, arts, whatever and if people do not like you tough! At least you did not sell out with your convictions.


I'm 16/F. I don't know what to do! First I broke 2 of my Mom's glass bottles while hanging something up. Then I knocked into a glass flower 2 months later & broke that. Now I just spilled nail polish all over the new bathroom mat my mom just bought my sister & I. My mom makes practically sucicidal remarks everytime I do theses things, and I feel awful. I really do not mean to, I am just such a klutz! I don't mean to break anything & I try hard but somehting always gets ruined! and now even worse my sister & I aren't alowed to use nailpolish in the house ever again, & it wasn't even my sisters falt! I offer to buy my mom new things & I feel so bad that my heart hurts eveytime she yells at me, but I don't know how to stop brakeing/ruining things. Don't tell me to try harder...I do. I just don't know what to do anymore, & I need some better advice. (link)

One thing never brought up is what kind of medication are you taking if any? We need to see what they are and side-effects like drowsyness, doped up, bad balance etc etc. or interaction or a pre-existing medical condition. I would find out if
any of your medication if on any can screw up
balance and or coordination. If not, mention to a physician how and maybe why the stumbling begins. At either rate it's a mysery but not something that will kill anyone.


i just wanna check my answer what do you get when...

7/12 - (-3/4) + (-1/8) All of them are fractions (link)

I know full well you only wanted to see if you were right or wrong. I put up my reply to illustrate if people did what you did regularly they would ifact learn nothing from us and forget all of it. So, I was in fact semi-kidding as well as pointing out maybe some other method be it a PM or an e-mail from friends here might
drive home the fact you have to learn all this stuff and getting too much help never helps one
retain it. Notice the smiley face in my original answer too. I knew where you were coming from.


ok so i was talking to my bf last night and we were talkin about masterbating and stuff ... but i some how told him that i wasnt "enjoying" it .. he is like i think ur just doing it wrong .. and then sad thing is he knoes a lot more about my body than i do .. how do you f* urself and can some one please educate me so i wont sound so stupid (ps i went to a catholic school my whole life k - 8) (link)

I got your feedback sheet. I would not if I
were you ask a how to question on this as moderators, educators, parents, who knows who else might flip on you and others running the place.

Having said that you ought to actually by a book
on sexuality aimed at your age group and read it. It appears a lot of things were never taught at all to you in school classes. Biggest mistake anyone makes as a parent is to believe those classes teach all--they in fact skirt a lot of stuff.

Definitely, get a book on it there was do not know if still is a site called Scarleteen and one called Puberty 101. It would not be my place or right to tell you how to do this. Just figure out on your own--that's half the thing about pleasure.


I really want to be a actress and I would do anything to be one. What are some sites that I could go to. I am 13/f (link)


Ignore Barbizon and the other sites. It's all a big scam to get people to buy photos. How dod I know, I have several friends who are casting agents and publicists. Never pay for anything in
this biz and run screaming if they dare try pushing photo packages on you or Internett pages--casting agents will never endorse nor look at them.

Where to start? Well, find out if there are youth theatre groups nearest you doing plays regularly--sign up--do backstage--learn stage management and direction--even from the adult theatre troupes.

Learn all you can about improvisation, writing, crafting of scenes. If near a workshop place like Second City take those classes and all you can get your hands on and do it. Always practice, write your own skits etc.

You never said where you were from either. There may or may not be extras needing to be cast in big budget film read the papers and also get to an agent that handles extras nd see how much you like that or not. The film business is sit around and wait a lot and can bore people.

When you have been in a lot of plays and whatnot only then can you consult a full-fledged agent to represent you. Before that nobody will as you have no track record and agents only sign those that bring them money. They get 20 per-cent of what you make--used to be 10.


OK so I have a group of friends..they're just school friends..it's been like this for 5 years now! I hate it..I want to go to the mall or hang out with them outside of school..but how? I can't just self invite myself..I can't invite them over to my house because of family reasons..but I want to get closer to them and be BEST friends with them..not school friends..what do i do? (link)


Sometimes people are kjust aquaintences and know you
because of school and have zero in common anyways. I think that is the issue here not to be cold but if they wanted to know you outside of school they would
have extended an invitation five years ago. Move on, find people who want to be with outside of school and do not waste your time trying to get these people interested it has not worked for you for five years and will not work for you for another five. Forget them, focus attention elsewhere.


what is bypoller? (link)


With the exception of Krissy's answer the information you are getting is not correct. You beed
an adult with the problem to explain it to people.
There are two stages of this illness. The first stage called hypo-manic means you have a lot of energy and drift between normal or manic unreality and not have any idea. This is not dangerous unless
it escalates.

The second stage is called mania and what this does is makeyou delusional not knowing reality from fact at all and needing to stay in a hospital for at least a month and be placed on lithium. anti-psychotics and mood stabalizers because some not all people have horrible mood swings.

Do a google search for damous people with manic depression or bipolar and you will know that it is
the precursor for brilliance as well you will discover 1 in 10 people will have a mental illness by 2010 so it's not all the stuff people who are ignorant tell you. For more info see bphope.com


Hey.. I'm a sophomore in high school, I go to an all girls school in Missouri. I came to high school without any friends from grammar school really.. I had no close friends of which I hung out with. I came into high school and met a ton of people.. but all of freshman year I never went out on a friday night. Now, I just started sophomore year and I'm making a real effort to talk to people and try to make friends but it's not working. I'm in honors classes and it just seems like a lot of the girls in the class are not like me at all. I try to be social and make friends but no one seems to wanna hang out wiht me. I'm also just a totally different person at school than the person I am at home. I am really funny and loud at home and at school I'm quite. I'm shy sometimes too. I think people get the wrong impression of me. I just really want this to work. The girls in my honors classes are "loserish" I guess you could say, and the other girls drink, and I don't drink (alcohol). I feel in the middle.Theirs a sophomore dance in february and I want a group of friends by than so that I can meet some guys through them to go to the dance with. It's really depressing and upsetting. I know that most of you will probably say that I should get to know people, and introduce myself, and I am. I am in class with basically the same girls I was freshman year. If no one could give me advice, and encouraging story would be good. Is there any of you that were in my situation and found a group of friends? please help! (link)


Hi,

I noticed something the others did not and I will be
straight up as I had the problem too. You said you were loud--that's something people get turned off by. Turn down the volume on what you have to say and
do not be the one to pounce or interrupt. Practice listening when in groups at school or around people you like rather than talking. They like this. To interject wait until the person who just spoke finishes and say I have a point I want to make if I can. Then take the floor and be brief.

Your problem like most people with this issue is what you want being what you need but has to come naturally. You cannot push people or make them like you or gain friends like that. It must be natural and any pushing of potential friends backfires.

Invite people you like to a movie. Again the loud issue find a medium between quiet and loud and use it. Let's be honest do you have issues with social skills or manners being misinturrpreted? Work with a parent on that and ask straight up why do they not like me? You need real answers to fix things. Do not ever tell yourself you are too shy or loserish BS is what that is and self-deafeating thinking--STOP IT-- or you will sabatoge yourself.

Finally, February is eons away right now so focus on now by February you may have a world of different things to enjoy or not based on your thinking and perception of self. Do you value you? Will others value you? If you cannot do this for your ownself how can others LOVE you back?


hi my birth day is coming up and i want a laptop. my parents are willing to buy me one for a reasonable price and they want it to do most everything (burn cds, is internet accesible, and that i can use most everywhere with a good batterie) any ideas on the brand? thanx for your help! (link)

Ignore most of what was said to you tonight on the topic and take a deep breath. Your birthday may indeed be coming up but do not pressure your family on this issue. Why? If you do they might buy something that is a lemon and an awful choice indeed or one that heats up like a Toshiba too often and
components burn out.

Be weary of that and my next most important MUST DO item here. GET THE EXTENDED 3 YEAR WARRENTY. YOU WILL NEED IT LAPTOPS MALFUNCTION ALL THE TIME.

SECONDLY, A laptop is meant to be functional and not your all in one entertainment system with burner, DVD, etc. You already own that stuff and do not need it on a laptop. In fact, all you ought to care about is the word processor, speed, etc. for school projects and being able to write wherever you are and how many ports on it for wireless attachments for printer, internet. And not much else. You really do not need all of that on a laptop.

You can buy a great Dell or a Sony even if willing to strip away components that would be nice but non-essential and only buy one two add ons.


ok im in 8th grade but at my sisters school in West Virgnia ( i live in PA) you can go in 7th grade. and this guy asked me to go with him just as friends...and i have a boyfriend.and im going to ask my boyfriend first but i was wondering how to bring it up if u absoulty doesnt want me going im not going to go but i honestly dont think hes gonna care..but i dont know how to ask him?? any ideas?!?! EASY FIVE HERE!!! (link)

Reality check here: You think he will not care? News flash going with any other guy will kill your relationship and have your boyfriend in a rage and you will not have the love of either guy friend or not. Do not make this common mistake--be wiser and say "You are my friend I like you but I cannot go to this dance with you out of respect for my boyfriend". That way he feels alright about it and a sticky and deadly dating disaster avoided. Trust me--I have been answering these questions since 1996 now with several top sites.


This kid just "broke up" with me. There's like a 3 yr age difference, and I just talked to him on the phone, and I asked him out. Well, he's like, I have football everyday. Which, I know is probably true. But, now I know I won't get over it. What can I do? I'm ready to cry. : / I thought it could work. =( (link)

You did not tell us your age. That tidbit matters with the kind of advice people can give you. You see a lot of younger teenage guys 13-15 have not figured out the transition from young kid to teenager to maturity at all. It's simple fact girls are three years ahead of boys intellectually anyway.

While you understand what romance is it may scare the hell out of him as he is not ready to have a girl interested in him. His priority and it is isn't because you are not beautiful is football because he knows and loves that. If you are to have any kind of relationship.

I would settle for friendship here get researching on the game of football so you know it better than him. After all, a girl must use her intellect to the advantage in figuring someone out for a good person, potential mate or phony.

Next guys change their emotions as do girls faster than changing a shirt. If you called him and asked him out and he gave no answer (YOU ARE NOT DATING). If you called again and he said no--again no connection so drop it. Find someone worthy of your time, in synch with you, either leave him alone or go for a friendship. The common question why does he not want to go out with me? is never your fault. For whatever reason he is not into you--and that is life.
