advice

I recently asked a question and what type of pregnancy test to get since my period is late. I'm not even worried about my late period anymore, i'm just completely scared. My boyfriend and I have been talking about this and he feels that abortion is our best option since im only 16 and hes 18. I don't believe in abortion unless under very specific circumstances.

My parents don't even know i'm sexually active, and i was wondering, if this I actually am pregnant, how the hell do I tell them. He hasn't even met them yet, and I dont think my parents are going to want to here, mom dad this is ***************, oh and by the way, i'm so many months pregnant. Not exactly the best introduction.

What I'm asking is.. how will I tell my parents that i'm pregnant by a guy they just go to meet. I've known him for a long time and hes my best friend, but theyre still going to freak. Someone please help

If you don't beleive in the killing of a innocent child, then don't do it..simple as that. I say find out for sure if your pregnant first, you may be stressing over NOTHING! If it turns out your are, you really dont have a choice but to tell your parents. Maybe not in the same day though? Like introduce him to your parents, wait a couple weeks then drop the bomb.

Guys, my dog is an inside puppy, hes about 10 weeks old, and we leave him outside sometimes, like when we have to leave, and when he was out there today, he found out how to open one of the ant poison things, AND ate everything in it!!!!
Does anybody know fi thats strong enough to kill him?! PLEASE HELP ME

Call the VET asap! They can atleast tell you wether or not it could seriously harm him. Or if there's something you can do to help the dog throw it up quicker. I'm sure alot of ppl gave you good advice on this topic, but when it comes to the health and welfare of someone you love, seek medical assistance. It won't cost you nothing just to call and ask.

I looked up ant bait and what to do if it was swallowed, here's what it said-of course for humans though. "Ingestion- Call poision control center or Doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poision control center or a Dr. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow."
Here is the wesbite for the Animal Posion Control Center (ASPCA) http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc&JServSessionIdr005=gnigbuiaq1.app24b

OK, this may seem like a weird question, but, I would just like other opinions about this subject. Now, I understand when it is cold outside, the importance of bundling up your kids so that they are not cold. Plain & simple, but, I am just getting so sick of people saying, "where's her hat, she's gonna get sick!" Just things like that. I believe that you get sick from the GERMS & VIRUSES in the air. Not just the cold weather. I mean how can just getting wet from the rain make you sick? How can you get colds just from some cool air? If that was the case, why don't we get sick from the fans & air conditioning? Because, it is what's IN the air that makes us sick, not just the air itself! I would really like any & all feedback on this because I don't have anything to back up my theory. It's just one persons opinion. Thank You.

The weather
There is no evidence that you can get a cold from exposure to cold weather or from getting chilled or overheated.
Go to: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/cold.htm
They have the info to back up your theroy.

And for the person that said what about pneumonia?

Pneumonia is a lung infection that can be caused by different types of germs, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Although different types of pneumonia tend to affect children in different age groups, pneumonia is most commonly caused by viruses. Some viruses that cause pneumonia are adenoviruses, rhinovirus, influenza virus (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza virus (the virus that causes croup).
http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/pneumonia.html

Sickness is more common in cold weather season because we all stay warm TOGETHER. pulling in triple the amount of germs, & viruses.

ok, me and my girlfriend have decided we want to have sex, the only probleam is i am not sure how i am going to get my hands on a condom, i am 13, and don't give me stuff saying im too young or anything cause we have made up are mind, im just not sure how i can get my hand on some condoms. can i just buy them? what? and also what kind should i get?

I used to work at a convience store and a grocery store and can tell you for sure 100% that there is NO age limit to buying condoms, so go ahead buy away.

You could go to the Health Department and walk up the the front desk and ask for em'. You'll get a whole bag of them for FREE. No names asked.

You could go to a convience store bathroom and see if they still have the condom vending machines.

It's really good that you want to use protection. Insist on it everytime. I personally think Trojan is the best condom. They have done alot of tests on these condoms and have found, that these are VERY hard to break during sex, which is a good thing.

What does phat mean?

It stands for: Pretty Hot And Tempting.
It has kind of phased out and is mostly used by wannabes, lowerclassmen in high school, or middle schoolers. It is now considered a slang faux pas.
14 year old: "That's phat man."
22 year old: "Um, dude, that word got old in the late '90s" lol

okay so for the past 9 months i have been using dandruff shampoo my dandruff isnt bad but when i scratch my scalp tiny flakes come off and my tiny dandruff is still there after 9 months and ive switched shampoos twice and im not sure whats wrong. I have to scratch my scalp in order for the dandruff to come off but sometimes my head bleeds and its just really annoying me so if anyone has any suggestions tell me.

Buy some VITAMIN E and drop a few small capfulls into your shampoo. It will coat your scalp, giving it moisture...therefore getting rid of dandruff once and for all. (You can get it at Wal-Mart for less than $5.00)

ok so ya kno tha lil cosmetic sponge thingies you put on liquid foundation with ?? ya so like how often should you use one before you throw it out & use a new one ?? thx.

Cosmetic makeup sponges are disposable tools. Wash after every couple uses. Toss within 1 month, or when the sponge begins to tear.

Here is a guidline for all makeup & bactera.

Is it slutty to give your boyfriend a hand job and letting him finger you when you're only 13?

Well, It's not Slutty as he is your boyfriend it's not like its just some random dude, BUT you are way to young to be having sex. A person should only have sex when there mature enough to handle the consequences. Could you handle having a STD? Could you take care of a baby?-And I don't mean just take care of one, I mean have YOUR OWN money to feed it, clothe it and everything else, not to mention you have school, so you would have to pay for daycare which is $500.00 a month not unless you drop out of school and just be a stupid child with a child. I'm not trying to be mean to you at all so forgive me if I come off that way, I just don't think your ready (or any one at that age for that matter) for all the consequences sex can have. And if your already particpating in some sexual activities then it wont be to much longer before you do the real deal, so just think long and hard if you are TRULY ready because that is the REAL question here.

I'm writing a goodbye letter to my bf (of 16 months) and i don't know what all to put in it... so could you help me out please.. just give me a few sentences or something.

He's going about an hour and half away

Here's a couple idea's:
I don't really want to say goodbye
I don't really want you to leave me
But now you have to go away

What we had was something special
Deep down from our hearts
But now you have to go away
And leave from my heart.

#2:
Your going to be miles away and I think of you still.
You're deep in my heart.
You'll stay there, you will.

I'll never forget the times that we had.
The heartfelt discussions.
The good and the bad.

Being with you is a part of the past.
These words that I speak may be our last.

I reached out my hand and opened my heart
And whispered in your ear, "This is only the start."
A love like ours, no matter who goes away
can only get better.
Not crumble..
Not stray..

If two people were better for each other than us
God kept them for himself.
And that is a must.

For you are my best friend.
And I am yours, too.
We're stuck to each other.
Just me and just you

So go ahead and move away
my love for you will never stray
I'll be here waiting to the end
why you ask? because you are also my friend.


~*I'm, really good with coming up with poems off the top of my head, I kinda' suck with tryin to make a point, so I usually just get a poem, It can express myself so much better. If you don't like these, then give me details on this relationship and if yall are breakin up or going to stay a long distance couple and I'll try to come up with something.*~

EDIT: OK, SO I GUESS THERE'S SOME CONFUSION ON YOUR PART. I SAID, HERE ARE SOME IDEAS: I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE MINE! IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF MY ORIGINAL ANSWER, I WROTE I'M NO GOOD WITH WORDS, POEMS ARE BETTER. "If you don't like these, then give me some details on this relationship and if yall are breakin up or going to stay a long distance couple and *I'll* try to come up with something." THATS ME TELLING YOU, IF YOU WOULD LIKE *ME* TO COME UP WITH A POEM, I CAN..BUT I NEED DETAILS ON EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT.

When your pregnant, do you still have periods? What about if you breastfeed?

Many mothers-to-be get a few days of bleeding right around the time that the early embryo is burrowing into the wall of the uterus. On average, this occurs five days after conception and may be confused with an early period, especially if the woman is not keeping close track of her cycles.

However, there are some women that claim they had a "period" all through there pregnancy. These occurnces are not known yet wether to be factual or not though.

Any other sign of bleeding would be a spontaneous miscarriage.

Maybe your not circumsized? (Something that was done or not done at birth) Go here to see what I'm talking about: *WARNING-SEXUAL CONTENT*

(PIC #2 is un-circumsized. If this is what your talking about then it is quite normal and you can have a minor surgical procedure the nip the forskin off if that's what you want.

my boyfreind are thinking about sex. and we know we are both ready for it so please dont say anything along the lines of "you might not be ready".
but anyways. we are going to be safe about it. but my boyfreind doesnt want to buy condoms, he just thinks its embarssing. and isnt that supposed to be the guys job?

NOT ANYMORE. Girls are just as responsible as guys are when it comes to this.

(You could go to the vending machines in some convience store bathrooms and get one there)

I am getting my hair cut this Friday for my "back to school haircut" (school starts on the 28th). I am also planning on getting it colored and my question is will the color hold strong until i go back to school? I have never had my hair colored professionally before and i am going to a top of the line place (philip pilusis sp?) and my hair is a light brown and it is going dark brown if that helps. My my called and they said that there wasn't going to be any fading and the color would last 6-7 weeks.

So my questions is, is it safe to get it colored that far in advance to school or is it a better idea to wait until a week later ( i would prefer not to wait if i am 100% sure i will be alright)

and what products can i use in my hair to help hold color better?

That hair color will last the full 6 weeks with minimal fading. (All hair dye has MINIMAL fading)
Why not consider getting you hair dyed for longer?
SEMI PERMANENT: 6-7 weeks
MID/INTERMEDIATE (shorter-lasting permanent) 1-3 months
PERMANENT: Till it grows out.

TIP: For longer lasting rich color that wont fade, use any shampoo/conditioner made for color treated hair.

My 17 year old is 5'6" and weighs over 200 lbs.
She also has a very large bust and upper body--such as abdominal fat. I have tried everything to get her to diet & exercise, and our house is full of nutritional food. She has been to the Dr for this also, but chooses not to take an active roll in her health.

She says she is happy the way she is. She buys expensive clothes, but they do not fit right. For example today she had a sports bra on and she was litterly hanging out--and it was more noticable because she was wearing a skin tight t-shirt. She also wears low wasted pants, and either her crack is showing or she is walking around hanging on to her pants.

I have tried to take her shopping, I have bought her clothes, I have showed her pictures of plus size models, but she refuses to have any part of it. I have never intended to hurt her feelings, but the bottom line is I hate to have people gawking and making fun of her. She says "I don't care what they think, why do you?" I have tried to tell her she will get along in the working world better if she dresses to suit her body style, but of course she doesn't listen.

Any suggestions on how to help her either lose weight or dress better?

It seems like your fighting a losing battle. If she just doesnt want to listen, then there's not much you can do, except maybe go buy her some of the jeans she normally wears (lowrise) and get them a size larger. And MAYBE she'll wear em'. Also, get her some cute bras in a bigger cup size and some shirts with cute sayings on them, also a size larger. Have them layin on her bed for her when she gets home (It'll be a nice suprise and maybe she'll find a couple thigns shes willing to wear out of what you picked out. (Save the reciepts :) Also, I doubt ppl are making fun of her, though she is 200 lbs, she is also 5"6 so it even it's self out. I'm only 5 ft tall and I weigh 168 and it LOOKS like I weigh 200 because I am so short. no one has ever gawked or made fun of me (I'm an adult) Yes, she does need to lose weight but there is nothing that you can do to make her if she just doesn't want too. Also, not saying you do this, but don't tell her she's FAT, or will never get a man or everyone's laughing at her or stuff like that. Those comments don't help and only bring on even worser eating habits.

hey, for the free samples, which kind do you use? De-Frizz, Straighten Up, or Anti Poof, or in your opinion which works best? Thankss

De-Frizz & Anti-Poof. I can't see where one works better than the other, there both awesome. (Straighten-up is for people that want straight hair but it has a few waves or kinks to it)

It usually just take a couple weeks :) Once you try it, you'll be hooked for life.

ok well i know about the whole discharge thing ( i have my period) but lately when i cum (after like masturbating and just randomly) it has been kind of yellowish and it smelled slightly like fish. Is it an infection? If it is, how do i get rid of it?

Sounds like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. They both need to be treated but your not going to die or anything horrible, so don't worry to much about it, just schedule you a appointment as soon as you can.

I'm addicted to soda. I'm average weight, and other then soda, I'm very healthy. My doctor says the soda is addding extra fat on my tummy and thighs, so I should stop drinking it so much. I drink about 2 cans a day, sometimes more. Its alot I know, I've tried stopping so many times. Cold turkey hasn't work, neither has slowly reducing how much I drink. Any other ideas?

God don't I understand what your going through. I used to could drink a 6-pack of bottled sundrop (soda here in NC) a day like it wasnt nothin. Tell yourself that from now on, it's only going to be a special treat-that's what I do. I still drink it because I love it, but now it's just a "reward" instead of a "I cant drink anything but that" kinda thing.

Hey guys, what kind of products do you know of that work really great on controlling frizz? Only suggest kinds of creams or spray stuff (not hairspray, gel, mousse or any of that because I don't use it) thanksss :)

I have hair that after blowdryed, looks like I stuck my finger in a socket and got electricuted...lol well not anymore. Sunsilk is a new product out and they work wonders for people that werent born with barbie hair. Try the shampoo, conditioner and anti-poof creme. (also maybe a straightner-I'd just die without mine lol) The Sunsilk products are also cheap..usually 2 for $6.00.
