I'm Samantha, 17, and I love to help others. If I'm not sure about something, I will tell you, but I will tell you all that I do know. =D
advice
Yes I'm going on a date tonight and I want to know what hints can i drop to tell him i want him to kiss me, where both 13 so its not lik were 17 this is our 6th or or somme date, we've kissed before but hes kind of wierd about it. Like at the movies it's no problem, but i think its just wierd in public for him, lik hge doesnt no if ill go along with it, what hints can i drop?!?!?!?!?!
Hmmm, stay home. If he doesnt like kissing in public, go to his house so he will feel better about everything. If not, then just keep looking him in the eyes and smile. Im not sure how to tell this to a 13 year old, so Im sorry.. haha. Dont be scared to make the first move, just go in for a kiss and Im sure he wont mind! =D
Recently i started dating a guy and i really like him problem is he also just told me he has hsv1 so now im freaking out waht ways can you catch hsv1? Sex? kissing? can you only catch it if the sore on his mouth is present?How about sex without a condom i enjoy it more without and im on the pill before i have sex i make the guy get tested..can i get it if we have sex without a condom even if its sores on his mouth only and when we do have sex there are no sores present? He says hes really careful and that he hardly gets them cause he takes care of himself so he wont see me when he has it. If sores arnt present can i get hsv1?
i got this off google...
Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 live in nerve cells, usually under the skin. Neither virus is always active. They often remain silent or inactive in these cells, sometimes for many years or even a lifetime. This is called "latency." For reasons not entirely understood by researchers, the viruses can become active and cause symptoms, which include sores around the mouth or near the genitals. This is called "reactivation." These symptoms can come and go in what is known as outbreaks, or "flare-ups."
During a flare-up, the virus becomes active and causes a chain of events leading to a cluster of small bumps to form. The bumps may rupture, heal, and then disappear for an indefinite period of time.
Anyone infected with either virus, regardless of their HIV status, can experience oral or genital herpes flare-ups. Approximately 70% of all adults living in the United States are infected with one â?? or both â?? viruses. HSV-1 is spread via direct contact with an infected area, usually during a flare-up of the disease. Kissing and oral-genital sex can spread HSV-1. More serious sexual activity, including penile-vaginal or penile-anal intercourse, is the main route by which HSV-2 is spread
i hope i helped =]
sorry i havent been on & i still hope you see this..
well, its really up to you. If you do date, be careful & use a condom. Sometimes you can still get it when anything seems to be showing, but you can still get it.Sit down and talk to him, or ask a girl he has been with before and maybe ask if she got anything from him. Again, Im sorry this is late, Iv been verrryyy busy lately. Be safe
What is the best way not to let your period from leaking during ball? I don't wear tampons.. I useally wear the underarmor shorts underneath my shorts to prevent it but it makes me run like a chicken..lol.. what should i do? we wear a light color shorts btw
Get a longer pad. And its good that you wear those underarmor shorts, that way the pad doesnt move around. I wear two sets of panties when I have a pad lol
So I'm 15 and my teeth are really messed up. People always make big fun of my teeth. They always tell me I really need braces. But I really can't get braces or I don't know how. I've tried getting them before and its useless. I just want them so I can smile and not have people staring at my jacked up teeth. When I was little I didn't pull my teeth and they started growing on top of the baby teeth. Now they're stuck like that. It's really sad. I cry every time someone tells me that I need to get my teeth fixed. What should I do? Do you have any advice?
Hunny I have that same problem, right now. But I just went to the a dentist yesterday and Im getting braces within the next months.. But its like this, if ppl really have to make fun of you to make theirselves happy, they are just useless. People use to make fun of mine all the time, but now since we're all 16 or 17, ppl have grown up. Dont be scared to smile, trust me I know how you feel. You wanna cry when you see your friends with perfect teeth, and know your more then likely the only one with teeth like that, dont worry, Im right there with you. My family cant really afford it right now, but my mom found a dentist that works well with our insurance, and the insurance is paying for almost everything. My mom has bad memory and I would have to put a reminder on the computer for her to call. So try doing that and just leave it there. Put something like "call the dentist, I wanna beautiful" thats what I put and she called. I wish you the best of luck. And if you need anything else, just ask
i may have oral cancer. ive had these weird little bumps all over my mouth, and if they were cacker sours, they would have gone away by now.
does anyone know what the symptoms of oral cancer are, what will happen during it, how to treat it, that kind of stuff? im really scared, and i would like to know everything that you know.
Thanks so much!

I hope I helped, and I hope everything goes well!!
I'm a guy. My friend straightened my hair for me and I really liked it, so I tried to do it myself with my sister's straightener. I can't do it. My hair doesn't look super-straight when I straighten it. And I can't straighten the back of my head because I'm afraid of burning myself.
Any tips? Thank you.
If this was your first time doing it yourself, it will take practice untill it looks good.. Maybe try setting up a mirror behind your head so you can see the back of your head when lookin into a marror infront of you. Or just ask yourself to help you with the back, Im sure she wont mind. I hope I helped
hi i am a 13/f
and i would like to lose some weight by halloween,
here are my problems
no access to a gym
running huge problem because my area is not safe to run, even if i'm with someone.
any exercises, diets i can do at home?
ex: sit ups?
things like that.
thanks so much!
doing sit ups and crunches will do nothing.. if you want to lose your belly fat, you have to run. Thats really the only 100% sure way. By doing crunches and sit ups, your working your abs, but its no use bc you still have the fat over them. And they wont show.. So run at your schools track..
Does the Pill really make your boobs bigger ?
Well im going on it . And I have to go to that doctor person for it. and jw what all do they do to you ??
P.s. ( I'm soo scared )
15/f
( & if this matters. i use to msterbate & i do get fingured form my bf. )
Everyone is differnt. A lot of my friends got bigger boobs as well as my sister. Some people gain weight, and my one friend, all she wanted was candy. So I think thats how she gained her weight. If you have acne, it will clear it up. But sometimes you will get acne. If something happens and you dont like it, keep trying differnt BC's untill you find the one you like..
i had really bad acne on my back, chest, and shoulders last summer.. Well, it went away and now i have theese really weird scars. I did some research and apparently they're called Hypertrophic/keloid Scars. What I couldn't find though, was how to get rid of them.. Apparently, they are supposed to clear up in 2-3 years. Well, i'm 15 right now so they are still going to be there most of the years that I really don't want them.. I can't go swimming, and im worried about doing anything with a girlfriend because it would weird her out.. I got acne on my back again this year but it's not as bad as last year, so i don't think it will leave scars. But yeah.. anything anyone could tell me about how to get rid of theese things or at least cope with it would be cool..
thanks.
try coco butter cream. Or the tanning bed?. Tanning helps clear up acne, maybe the scars too? && she wont be weird out, my boyfriend has acne on his back and it doesnt bother me at all. Everyone is differnt, but if she really likes you, Im sure she wont care.
Over the past year, I lost a bit of weight. Okay, maybe not a bit, approximately 40lbs. I do not weigh that much at all. I'm under 120. The thing is, I get a lot of comments & looks at school. I lost the weight in a healthy way. I was on a strict but good diet. I ate a ton of fruit & veggies, avoided extra fat/sugar, etc. The thing is people talk about me a lot. They always comment on how thin I am & make jokes about it. I do not find it funny. I know my friends & family are a bit concerned, but people at school are taking it a bit extreme in my opinion. At lunch time, my friends always watch what I eat. I get stared at by people from other tables. 'Anorexic' and 'Bulimic' was thrown at me a few times. It really frusterates me & is quite annoying. I don't understand why this is necessary. Not only do people joke with me about it, they talk about it behind my back with other people. They don't understand that it's actually embarrasing. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more comments than girls who are overweight & I'm underweight. How can I avoid this?? I don't think I should have to hide myself in huge clothes because I don't want people saying anything. Especially when swimming in gym comes around. I want people to just drop it, but they don't. It's one thing to be concerned and another to talk about me for daily gossip, especially when the comments are rude. Any advice or suggestions?? Any opinions?? I know you aren't supposed to care about what people think or say, but it happens a lot & lunch has become a hard thing to do since everyone stares. I also don't want rumors going around. Thanks!!
My friend lost about 20 lbs over summer, but shes still, im not saying fat, but still has a little stomach. A lot of ppl thought she didnt eat and whatever. But she knew her real friends knew that she was on a good diet and lost it the right the way. Im not going to say eat a lot at lunch or whatever bc thats bad. But maybe the class before lunch be like Im so hungrey, and talk about your fav. foods. & if you hear someone talking about them wanting to go on a diet be like, this is what I did and it really works. Then tell them what you did in good detail. Uhmm.. Thats all I can really think of. I hope I helped!
14/f.
So there's this guy I really like (let's call him carter), and he's kind of confusing me at the moment. I shall summarize everything that has happened by the day!
wednesday (carter has a girlfriend): so we had school off today, so my friends and i were going to go to the movies. i called carter to ask him if he wanted to come with us. he said he couldn't, but asked me to come to a party with him on thursday since we didn't have any school.
thursday (carter still has a girlfriend): he calls me and says he's "in the neighborhood" with his friend and asks if he can come over to chill. they come over, and we end up going to a park and having fun until they decide they have to go home and get ready for the party. soon, he comes back to my house to pick me up, and we go to the party. i notice his girlfriend isn't there. on the way back from the party, we're in his mom's car after he's dropped his friend home, and he invites me to his homecoming (we go to different schools), so i invite him to mine also. so i'm wondering if this is just a friends thing or what...it's a bit confusing.
friday (no girlfriend! woot!): so after school we all go to the movie theaters together, but decide to just hang out instead of go see a movie. i tell carter that this guy who likes me has stopped liking me and it kind of made my day, and then he tells me he broke up with his girlfriend because they "had nothing in common and had nothing to talk about". mind you, we have really intense conversations a few times a week on random subjects. insomnia! anyway, we have fun.
saturday: so we all promised that we would do something together tonight, so we have a horror movie pizza party thing at my house with him and a few of my friends. so one of my friends is sleeping over that night, so he ends up doing so too. loooong story about the sleepover, so i won't describe lol. let's just say that nothing happened, but it was supahfun!
sunday (today!): so in the morning, my friend leaves at like 7, so carter and i are left alone for like an hour and we talk about random things. then we are about to go to the park again, and my mom's boyfriend decides to (of course) drive him home at this exact moment. mom's bf wants me to go somewhere with him afterwards, so i come with. so our car is a 2 seater, so if you sit in the back seat, the person in the front seat has to get out in order for the back seat person to get out. i sat in the front, so i got out when he did. usually when we say goodbye, we hug, but he just walked away this time! it was kind of sad.
so now i'm all depressed because i don't know what to do. now mind you, a few weeks ago (when he still had a girlfriend) i told him after a really intense conversation that i had liked him because i thought i didn't like him anymore.
so what do you think? advice? thoughts? thanks in advance.
I think he didnt hug you bc your mom bf was there. He probably didnt feel right doing that infront of him. I think he likes you. Why else would he ask you to homecoming? haha, But yeah I say go for it! I think he really likes you!.. Good Luck!!
HELP!
i think i got my first period today and i don't no how to tell my mum. I'm totally clueless!!!!!!!!!!
PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!
just be like mom I need your help. I started
Okay, so this all started out as me and a friend..not a close friend, let's call her E, would just make fun of the different bands we like. Because we like totally different bands. Anyways, but one day she just freaks out and starts yelling out me. And that started this little "argument." Anyways, so she starts posting hate bullitens about me on myspace. And people were like "What the hell is going on between you guys?" But anyways, then on Friday my friend was talking to me and she said something funny about Gerard Way (the guy that E loves). And E hears this. So throughout flag football in gym she chose to block my friend. Well, on purpose, she pushes her down and starts laughing. But my friend wasn't going to stoop down to her level, so she just told E to stop acting so immature and walked away. Well, after Spanish class me and my friend were sitting by this brick wall shed thingy. But my friend was standing, anyways she was talking about how E was being such a bitch, and needs to get over herself. And E comes up to her and slaps her in the face, and then pushes her and makes her head slam right into the brick wall. And she laughs and walks away before we can do anything about it. So I'm really pissed, and today I go on myspace to check my messages, and I see I have photo comments, and I see that E's best friend, (let's call her L) is posting comments abut how I'm an ugly ass bitch. Then she comments me over and over again saying such things as "Ugly ass bitch, Fag, Loser, Fat, Everyone hates you, Goth, Freak, Witch, Go die, etc." And I'm getting tired of this. And on Monday she is "threating" to get into some fight with me and my friends. >_> I'm not scared or anything, but I'm tired of their immaturity and crap.
But I don't want to go and tell the principle or anything unless it really starts to get out of hand.
So what should I do?
Thanks!
block them on myspace.. to stop the myspace shit. And you are doing the right thing, you and your friend, by calling them immature, they are. Im not sure about the "fighting" thing, all i got is to really tell someone. But just keep standing up for yourself! =D
&& i think its funny how L has to get into it. Cant E handle her own fights?.. hahahah
please help!

its like being half-cross-eyed?
one of my eyes is normal (like the iris and pupil part stay in center of my eyeball) but in the other eye the iris and pupil part is closer to my nose like its close-set in one eye.
has anyone ever heard anything like this?
This girl I know has this, But its with both her eyes. Is your ALWAYS like that, or are you just able to do it? Bc hers is like that all the time. Im not 100% sure if there is anything that can be done. Maybe go to the eye doctor and ask. Bc I remember my sister talking about this girl getting surgery? I might be wrong tho.. Hope I helped
hello,
iam 26years female from INDIA, this is my first month of pregnency conformation.can you advise me whether my husband and me can have sex?
Yes you can. The only time its not really wanted is days before you give birth. But other then that, its perfectly fine! =D
Good luck with your baby!!! =D
15/f
I need to lose 30-40 pounds. My school has a gym- and it has treadmills, ellipticals, and a stationery bike + free weights and stuff.
What should I do in that gym to help me lose weight?
I agree, but dont do the same thing everytime. You need to switch it up every other time you workout. Bc your body will get use to what you have been doing and have less effect on it!
If you are unhapply married and you find a girl that maked you happy and you know that you want to be with them you want them in your life. why do you stay with your wife when you know that you are not happy at all.
and when the girl is trying to move on because she knows that you are never going to leave your wife why don't you just back off.
and maybe my friend kar wouldn't cry so much.
i know then why dosen't she back off well how can you when there is a baby involed.
i think that if you are going to get married make sure you are in love, i know that sometimed it doesn't work out but don't invole anyone else untill its over for sure.
whats the question? and the point of this?
Ok...so my boyfriend and me have talked about a promise ring. We've been together for a year and a half and we know that we truly love each other and want to spend our lives together. We both decided that we would wait a few more months before taking this step! Do you think this is too soon? Or can you really put a time on these kinds of things!
I have a promise ring, and I have been with my boyfriend for a year. And we LOVE Each other. If you truely know you want to be together forever, then go on and get them!!.. Best of luck!!
well there is this guy that i think i am in love with. I've liked him for about a year. Him and I have a pretty good realtionship. Im really scared of rejection, so i've never told him I liked him. I think about him all the time. We always flirt and have hooked up a few times. Im scared to tell him how I feel because he is in my circle of friends and i dont want i to be weird. Im honestly would do ANYTHING for this kid. Is this love or lust and any suggestions on what to do? Thank you =]
None of us can tell you what you feel. Only you can. But my advice, ask him over to hang out, and try to hold hands with him when your together. I hope I helped
im 18/f and ive had this problem for years. everytime i bend my knees they crack. it sounds like a nutcracker. its gross. even happens when im simply walking up the steps. anyways, i want to know ::
1. what this is? i went to the doctors a few years ago and he said just hold my legs out for a few minutes at a time every night. this did nothing. and
2. if i work out and do squats, which will require me to bend my legs constantly, will it just damage my knees more?
im afraid i might be waring away the cartlidge or something. if anyone has any info on this id reallyyyyy appreciate it!
sorry its so long.
My tore my ACL a year ago and had to do therapy. And they relized my knees cracked a lot. So with the therapy for my ACL they did knee therapy. It helped the knee that didnt have the tore ACL, but the knee that does, still cracks from surgery. Try going to therapy. I cant really tell you what kind of things to do bc all my therapy was mixed in, and I dont know which was for my ACL or which was for my cracking knees.. sorry.. try going to therapy tho..
