I am fucking depressed i hate my course help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make an appointment with your guidance tutor to discuss your options.
It's too late in the year to switch courses now so you may have to start again next academic year. You may also have to reapply as different courses often have different entry requirements and quotas.
Before you go to see your guidance tutor, try to think about what you don't like about your course. Is it the content or the university itself? What would you rather being doing instead?
It's late in the academic year so if you don't like your course now it's unlikely you will start to like it soon but try having a look at the content for next year. Does it interest you more? Is there flexibility with modules? I'm in my first year of a Politics degree and I haven't really enjoyed it so far because it's all very basic and I can't choose my own modules but next year will be much more interesting so I'm sticking it out. If this isn't the case for you though then do something now. You don't want to spend three or four years on a course you hate and end up with a mediocre degree because you didn't give it 100%.
Good luck.

they is this gut that always use to give me hugs for no reasonand my friend gave me advice on my phone to tell my about different hug and what they mean and he saw the textes and now he won't txt me and so far won't meet me at lunch what should i do?
I've got plenty of friends who are guys who hug me all the time. Some people are just more affectionate and tactile than others, it doesn't always mean anything. He probably saw the texts, got freaked out and didn't want you to think he liked you. Stop texting him and next time you see him, smile and say hi. The awkwardness will wear off eventually.

What do you like to do for fun when you meet up with guy friends? What do guys your age generally do to hang out? If you live in a big city, where are a few places you can go to?
My male friends at home are mostly 18-20ish and they go to bars/pubs/clubs (we live in the UK where you can drink at 18), hang out at their houses watching movies, drinking, playing music together or cooking for each other (they are a remarkably civilised group of boys). Or they go off driving somewhere - to the beach, the countryside, wherever - for the day. They also go to alot of concerts and plays because they're an arty bunch. The guys I know at university generally just go out most nights, or stay in playing video games/drinking/doing drugs/having sex/sleeping off their hangovers.
EDIT: Another thing that all the guys up here seem to do is go to the casino. Not the best idea if you haven't got alot of self control but it seems to keep them amused.

How do you give a guy a hickey?
You put your mouth on his skin and kinda suck it.
Don't though, they look really nasty and you can kiss and nibble his skin without leaving marks.

so the other night i hooked up with someone i had a crush on for a longg time. i wish i would've waited a little but when you're alone with someone you've really been into for awhile its so hard to not want to especially when he's initiating it. the thing is he doesn't text me first, when i text him first we talk for hours though. he said he doesn't want a relationship at the moment because he was in a serious one last year but i dunnoo i'm okay with being hookup buddies. so should i text him? idk :/
I agree with Zane.
I know you've liked him for a long time but just being 'hookup buddies' won't make you happy in the long term. You will become more attached and want more and that will only cause you hurt.
Leave it alone and stop texting him. Let him text you if he wants to but don't get your hopes up and don't wait around for him because you might deny yourself the opportunity to meet a great guy who wants the same things as you.

Does mastrubation hampers our health in any ways if it is done frequently?does it cause pimples on the skin or will it make a person go weak or skinny?please advice..
No, no, no and no.
The only way masturbation will ever harm you is if you do it in inappropriate places (like at work, or a childrens' playground..) or if it starts to take over your life.
Masturbation is a completely natural, normal, healthy way of exploring your sexuality and your body.

We'll have to have a huge presentation/essay on an ethic topic. Now abortion and euthansia are always the big ones but I want something no one else has probably done but a bit controversal so there will be an argument, but something I will be passionate about.
For example, this girl was used as an example. She's passionate about basketball, so the theacher said that he could base her project on the ethics of health, steriod use, or basketball palyers being overpaid (there were lots).
But I'm not sure about mine. I guess healthcare? Volunteerism woul dbe a good one but nothing from it will pop into my head. Please just list me a couple of topics. THanks!
Health would be a good one - is it ethical to not have universal healthcare? Or you could do something surrounding the ethics of drug testing - is it ethical to test a drug that could cure Cancer on animals? Experimenting on humans could also be an interesting topic, you could look at Nazi testing on Jews during World War II or the 2006 TeGenero drugs trials in the UK. Or you could take a psychological perspective - is it ethical to lie to a participant in order to get an accurate result in an experiment? Milgram's obedience studies would be a good one to look at for this one.
If you want to choose an uncommon topic, try and look at things from an alternative perspective. For example, suicide is always controversial but along with euthanasia and abortion, it's quite an obvious choice. If you really wanted to do it you could go down an alternative route, such as suicide pacts, cults or clusters - you might want to have a look at Bridgend, Wales, UK where since 2007 there have been a disproportionate number of teen suicides. In terms of mental health, you could also look at the ethics of antidepressants etc - is it ethical to chemically alter someone's mood?
I hope I've at least given you a little bit of inspiration. Good luck!

I'm 17 years old, and i haven't gotten my period yet this month. I should of gotten it a few days ago, because i got it november 9th, december 10th, and january 8th. it is pretty regular now. today is february 12th and i still have not gotten it, but i had cramps this past week and i've been emotional. i had sex for the first time with my boyfriend in january but i've never had sex without a condom. i took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. could the fact that i haven't gotten my period yet be because of stress? i also heard that when you have sex it changes your cycle. could that also be why i haven't gotten it?
As far as I know, having sex doesn't change your cycle but stress can delay a period. Unless the test was one designed to pick up pregnancy hormones early, take another one in a few days just to be on the safe side. The chances are slim though so try not to worry.
If you're going to be having regular sex with your boyfriend, consider using another form of contraception (such as the Pill, implant, coil etc) along with the condoms to be extra safe.

To start off, I am a 21 year old male.
So I started talking to this guy about a week ago and we went out on our first date a few days back and had a great time. We really clicked and expressed to each other that we really liked each other. I stayed with him that night since he does live about an hour to an hour and 30 minutes away from me. We didn't have sex or anything but we did cuddle and kiss. On the second date, which was 2 days ago, he wanted to introduce me to all his friends so we hung out with them for a while then we went back to his house and watched some movies while laying in bed. Once again, we didn't have sex but we did have more aggressive kissing and we were touching each other below the waist, but nothing close to sex and neither one of us tried to push farther than that. I stayed with him that night again and we fell asleep in each others arms.
The next morning when we got up he wanted me to go run some errands with him, then we hung out at his friend's house, and then I had to leave to go to work. He gave me a huge and kiss and held on to me for what seemed like forever, gave me a big smile and told me to drive safe. Once I got home I sent him a text telling him I had a great time and we should go out again soon. About an hour later he replied to my text saying he had a good time too but that he didn't think he was ready for a relationship. I asked him if I had done anything to rub him the wrong way or anything and he said it wasn't me, he just didn't think he was ready. I asked if he still wanted to hang out and he said he liked me and I was really cool but he didn't think hanging out was a good idea. I sent him a text back the next day telling him I really liked him and that whatever he decides I respect, but that I just needed to tell him how I feel. He told me it wasn't me, he just isn't ready for a relationship. It really struck me as strange because I thought we really hit it off and even his friend told me that he really liked me.
So I guess my question is what should I do? I really like this guy a lot and according to him and his friends he really likes me. I know he got out of a relationship about 3 months ago so it very well may be he isn't ready, or maybe we were moving too fast. He told me he didn't want to move too fast and I told him if at any point he was uncomfortable or felt nervous just to let me know, but he always said he was fine and enjoyed everything. I really want to pursue something with him because I felt a great connection with him. So what should I do? And should I take what he told me for face value? I'm honestly willing to wait for him because I haven't met a guy like him in a really long time.
He's told you he doesn't want a relationship and that he thinks hanging out is a bad idea so there isn't much else you can do. He's been really fair and honest with you and if you keep trying to pursue him when he's told you he isn't interested you will just push him further away. It's disappointing but unfortunately that's the way life goes sometimes.
Leave him alone and let him come to you if he wants to. Maybe he will decide he wants to give things a go but don't count on it. As for 'waiting for him', be careful, you could miss out on a great relationship with someone else.

If effy not in season 5?? Like why do they keep changing cast!! I don't like ittt!! and did effy ever find out that her therapist killed freddy??
They change the cast every two seasons because it's set at a sixth form (last two years of high school). Seasons 1 and 2 were based around Tony, Sid, Michelle, Cassie, Chris, Jal, Maxxie and Anwar. Seasons 3 and 4 were based around Tony's younger sister Effy and her friends. It's left unclear as to what happens but we know that Cook discovers that the therapist kills Freddy. The 'third generation', which will be seasons 5 and 6 is another completely new cast. I suppose this time is different because Effy linked the first and second generations as she appeared in seasons 1-4 but these characters are completely new.

I've lived in London & Coventry in the UK (6 years), and in New Jersey (10 years). And my dad once was offered a job offer (a high paying job as a chemical engineer) in Munich, Germany, but turned it down. I live in Dallas, Texas now (1 year), and it's very boring here and I feel different from most people.. I was born in London so I'm the most nostalgic about it. When I'm older there's no doubt that I want to move back to the UK. But then I just think of all the possibilities of how my life could have been different.. I think I would have enjoyed the UK a lot more. Before we moved to America I was so excited and then i got homesick in like 2 weeks. But then I also imagine how things could have been if we moved to Munich.. which is a very beautiful city. Or if we even moved to New York City because my mom used to be a IT person and all the jobs were in the city.
How do I stop thinking about the past this way? its not like I change it. Or forever be dreaming about the future. I have trouble trying to stay in the present.. because I have a lot of regrets.. to be honest life has sucked since 5th grade.. I'm in 11th grade now and there's not much I'd look back on fondly.. and I just imagine how things could have been different if I lived in other places and etc.
Ugh what do I do? Its hard for me to even be on facebook cause I see everyone else always having fun with friends and my life isnt really like that at all.. I just feel jealous about it and idk why my life hasn't been like that and etc
The grass is always greener. How do you know you wouldn't have had a crappy life somewhere else? Try to focus on the positives, I'm sure there were some good times in your childhood and that your parents loved you and wanted what was best for you.
Everyone has regrets. Everyone has things in their past they wish they could change but like you said, you can't. Moving around alot may have caused you to miss out on some stability but it also gave you the opportunity to live in different places. Most people spend their whole lives living in the same country, even the same city, but you've had the chance to see more of the world. I know you feel a connection to the UK but if you'd stayed there UK you might have spent your life wishing you'd have spent some time living in the USA. Try and think of the moving around as an advantage rather than something that has held you back.
Don't be jealous because other people have been brought up differently to you, for all you know they might envy the fact that you've been able to move around so much. Use your experiences as a way to make friends. It's unlikely many people in Dallas will have lived in the UK and they'll probably be interested in your life there so use it as a conversation topic.
You are still very young. You still have plenty of time to make friends and go wherever you want to go and your whole life to settle down and live in one place.

I want to do my hair like Rod Stewart had it in his younger years only dyed blue. I'm willing to do all the maintenance and stuff, would it look ok?
If you're young or have your employer doesn't care about your hair then go for it. You're only young once. Remember that if you get a bad haircut, it will always grow back and if you get a bad colour, you can always change it.

I've only been dating him a week and he asked me at dinner if I would get off birth control and let him cum inside of me! What's crazier is this isn't the first time I've been asked to do that! Why would a guy want to get a woman he doesn't know pregnant?! Just out of curiousity I asked him why and he didn't really have a good answer. He also noted that he wanted 2-3 kids and wanted me to breast feed! Why so specific? I don't know if he's a frequent impregnator or what but he has recent papers proving he is std free and he's really successful.
I'm going to second the 'dump him' motion.
It's not unusual for a guy to want to have sex without a condom but to want to cum inside you with no birth control whatsoever after a week? Not normal.
Do YOU want 2-3 kids to breast feed? Because if you don't, and I suspect you don't, I can only tell you to get out of there sharpish.

How bad would it hurt for me to get a tatoo of a butterfly on my arm or hand?
On a scale from 1-10, how bad would it hurt?
It varies for everyone. For me, my wrist tattoo was the least painful arm-related one I've had. My inner bicep was by far the most painful and just below my elbow on the outside of my forearm was somewhere in between.
In general, skin over bones and very fleshy areas hurt the most, which doesn't leave you with alot else. You're having a needle going in and out of your skin, really fast. It's going to hurt. If you're considering getting a tattoo, the pain is the last thing you should be worrying about.

16 / F / 5'7 / 117 lbs
(If that has any thing to do with it.)
Usually when I stand up I blackout for about 8-10 seconds, but I can still walk the path I'm going if I know it well. (Ex: From my bedroom to my staircase) But this past week it's gotten worse. It's to a point where when I stand up I black out & I get dizzy, so I'm forced to either just sit/lay down on whatever is closest, which usually happens to be the floor. I don't know what's causing it.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this past weekend, I was very sick with nausea which made me lose my appetite for two days, & really bad chest & lower stomach pains. I was also falling every time I stood up. But like I said, now I just have to sit down, I'm not collapsing anymore.
Sorry if it's long, I'm just worried.
You need to see a doctor asap.
It could be nothing, it could be something more serious. We are not qualified doctors and even if we were, it is impossible to diagnose someone correctly over the internet. The only way to get an accurate diagnosis and any necessary treatment is to see someone in person.

is there a way to have sex with a garuntee of not getting pregnant?
No. Penis enters vagina = possibility of conceiving.
You can greatly reduce your chances if you use some form of contraception (i.e. condoms, the Pill, coil, implant, injection, patch..)

So I've done as much research of my own on this, and well I still am. BMEzine gave me quite a bit of information on hip piercings, about rejection and migration, like most surface piercings. I really want them and I will get them, I just want more help on how to go about it, I live in Illinois I'm 18. Any advise, should I go with dermals? Or the surface bar? Nylon? Titanium or stainless steel? Any good piercers too? Your stories, suggestions, please and thank you!
I don't have my hips pierced but I have had several surface piercings and a microdermal.
In my experience, surface bars are really hard to keep. My most successful one has been my nape, which I have managed to keep for over a year now. The worst one was my wrist, which I had to take out after a month because it caught on everything all the time and was really painful. I imagine you would have this problem with hip bars. Personally, I found that my piercings have healed better if I use saline solutions for the first few days and then just left them alone. Everyone is different though and you will find plenty of people who prefer to clean their piercings religiously.
If you went for this option, you would need to be really careful about the placement. Look at where your clothes sit on your hips and potential threats to the piercing (e.g. belts).
Personally, I would go for stainless steel or titanium surface bar. It needs to be a proper surface bar to give the piercing the best chance at healing. A straight or curved bar will apply too much pressure to the skin and will reject.
Microdermals are a good option. They are much less likely to reject and easier to heal and as a result will almost definitely last longer than a surface bar. They require alot less care and attention with cleaning and are mostly happy to be left alone. However, you will still need to be careful about placement as they can still get caught and pulled out. Cons? They are expensive and need to be removed by a professional. If you can afford it and don't mind having a more permanent piercing, I would go for the microdermals.
Regardless of what you choose, bear in mind that if and when you choose to remove the piercing, there will be a scar. I have two purple dots on my wrist from where I took my surface bar out and they aren't particularly attractive. Removing a piercing as soon as you notice signs of rejection will minimise scarring, as will getting it removed by a professional (which you will have to do anyway in the case of microdermals).
Do your research before choosing a piercer and make sure you visit the studio before making an appointment. It should be clean and sterile and the piercer should be fully licensed and able to provide you with a portfolio of healed piercings. He/she should also be prepared to inform you about the risks involved, procedure and aftercare. If you have a bad feeling about the place then leave. If possible, search the studio online to see if there are any reviews available and speak to anyone you know who has been there.

So, I've had this tiny red dot on my hand, VERY tiny. I've had it for about a year or two. Today I decided to poke it with a needle thingy. I dipped it in alcohol first. I didn't even have to poke deep, once it penetrated blood was flowing out of it for a while. A lot of blood for a tiny dot. The blood looked normal to me. It stopped bleeding when I put a lot of pressure on it. It stopped, then I sucked on it & it started again. I put a pressure again. Now its back to a dry red dot. I have no idea what it is. I'm a little worried too. I also don't want it opening up in my sleep or anything. I cannot see a doctor so don't say see a doctor.
It'll just be a little blood blister under the skin, nothing to worry about. Eventually it'll go away. I had one for a good few years. Let it heal and don't poke it again, it'll just make it worse.
