Hey, I'm Melody! I've been giving advice on and off since 2003. I'm a 23 year old military wife, expecting a baby boy in August, and working on my Bachelor's degree. :)

Oh, and ask me anything!

Advice

The most amazing boy i've ever had in my entire life, my dream guy, just broke up with me.
Every time i look at him i feel like bursting into tears, and i cant help but still have feelings for him.
How do i get over him?

Time.

Break ups are always hard, and you need to give yourself time to get over it. Don't keep your feelings bottled up. Cry when you feel like crying, and eventually you will be sick of being sad. At that point in time, you should move on and get out in the world.

I'm sorry, go hang out with your friends when you are sick of being sad, and eventually you WILL be okay.

All of my friends are at the beach now without me, again (for the 3rd year in a row because I'm grounded again). I want to look good when they get back, as in I want a really nice tan. What is the best way to get a tan? I don't want tanning spray and lotions unless they're really good and look natural. Just how do I get a good tan in a week? And will it look natural or can that not be possible?

The best way to get tan is to lay in the natural sun. It takes weeks for most people to see results from laying in the tanning bed. It would be impossible for you to get any noticeably tanner just from laying in a bed for a week. So definitely lay out in the sun.

Get your Ipod, sunglasses, bikini, and beach towel and just go lay in the sun. Just be sure not to over-do it. You don't want to burn, because that won't be attractive at all.

Keep your skin very moisturized by using plenty of lotion. The more hydrated your skin is, the tanner it will appear. You should also try Juergen's Natural Glow lotion. It won't give you a hugely noticeable difference, but it will certainly help, & it look very natural.

At my school, a famous author came to visit us. My friends saw her talk about various books and authors that she knew well. They told me she was friends with Stephenie Meyer (author Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) and that she (Stephenie Meyer) will continue working on the Twilight series (as she currently is, according to this author). Some months ago though parts of Midnight Sun had leaked out and she said she was not going to write any more on that book in the Twilight series?! Do you think Stephenie Meyer is actually going to do it or do you think the author that came to the school didn't know what she was talking about?

P.S. I didn't want to put the actual author's name in this just in case the information is completely false and embarrassing to her later, but this is factual information.

She was correct.

Stephenie said a while back that due to the leak on the internet, she was putting Midnight Sun on hold indefinitely.

I personally don't agree with that choice, and I was very much so looking forward to the release of Midnight Sun, however she is my favorite author, so I will stand by any decision she chooses to make.

I'm finding out what forms/info I need to bring with me when I take the written part of my driving license test.. and I need a proof of address, but it said no P.O. Box accepted.
What does that mean?

It's always best to have to much as opposed to too little. Bring everything you think you 'might' need. Bring your learner's permit, SS card, I.D card, anything.

A P.O. Box is a post office box. If that's how you get your mail, do not use it. They want your physical address.

Here are 2 examples:

Post Offce Box: P.O. Box 4276 Harlan, KY 53456

Physical Address: 25344 Ocean Side Road, Harlan, KY 53456

Hi, I'm 16/f and I've been going out with my boyfriend for a little over a year. I'm not considered “popular” at school or anything, but pretty much everyone in my grade knows Mark and I are going out. And we're like "the cutest couple." I'm a perfectionist (yes, I admit it :-P) and the club I'm in after school (which my boyfriend is also in) is going to Disney World in a couple of weeks. Which should be a really fun vacation for us ...he and I aren't big on PDA so that is not a concern.

But what the concern IS is that I started taking this new class this year, which my boyfriend is not in, and I met this really nice guy who is totally different from my boyfriend... he wears really expensive clothes (I wear, like, KOHL's!) and he looks I guess gangsta (hat backwards, hoodie, etc.) yet he is a really nice person. As soon as I started liking him a little, I confronted my boyfriend (who I can really trust) and he said "it's that guy with the fancy clothes, isn't it?" and I started to tear up. I don't want to like Josh (we'll call him) because I've been going out with Mark for so long, but I just wanted to be honest with my boyfriend. We decided to stay together for Disney at least because we just want to be the happiest we can be. And I truly can’t wait to go, though there are other issues such as my ex being at Disney as well, who still loves me, and my best friend (a guy) who admitted last year to having loved me for years. I'm extremely flattered as you might be able to imagine, but it's also stressful because I feel like every move I make has the potential to hurt someone. I feel like going after Josh will just be too much, since I’ve already got three guys’ feelings to worry about. I try to make sure each of them is happy. Leaving my boyfriend and going after Josh might be a lost cause, however, because Josh might not like me back and then I’ve gone and lost my boyfriend (though he might take me back, however I did that to my ex and, I don’t know, it’s just awkward. I feel bad looking back on it, having probably made him feel like the rebound.)

So my questions to you are:

What should I do about my crush on Josh? Should I leave Mark…and crush his heart (Mark called me, crying, the night of the day I told him about my crush on Josh (a couple of nights ago)…he is a very sweet boy and I still love him, but I know I can’t have feelings for two people at once without being honest…this isn’t The Bachelorette, or anything. It’s real life. But don’t worry, I wasn’t that blunt with him!)

I am scared to be single, because I have not been since I was 12 years old (mind you, Mark is only my second boyfriend…every one has been a long relationship. I don’t know if I’d be able to handle a hook-up (not the intercourse kind of hook-up, just making out), though my mind sometimes toys with the idea of doing that with Josh…)

I guess you’d call me insecure, but I just don’t know how to be without knowing there’s someone who loves me close by. At the moment, my heart skips a beat when I’m working on projects with Josh…but I don’t think he likes me back and I don’t want to cause sorrow for anyone, including me.

Thank you so much for reading all of my story, and I look forward to your honest responses. :-)

Before I say anything, I would just like you to remember one thing: You CANNOT help how you feel. Obviously you are not intentionally hurting these people, and it's not your fault.

However I do believe you have a serious problem on your hands that only you can fix. No one can blame you for how you feel, however Mark might. And you cannot blame him; you are breaking his heart. Now if you don't want to hurt him anymore, you either need to be completely dedicated to him, and ONLY him, or you need to break up with him. Yes, if he truly loves you that will hurt him and most likely you as well, but if you care for him that's what is best. He seems like a really sweet guy, and it's a shame it has to be like that, but it does.

First of all, who cares if your ex-boyfriend is going to be at Disneyland? That should not be an issue, unless you still have feelings for him. If you don't, then forget about it.

Second of all, your best friend has been in love with you for years, and he told you last year, and you and your current boyfriend have been together for 1 year; so what's the deal? If you don't have feelings for him, you make that very clear and make sure he understands that your relationship will go no further than friendship.

Thirdly, it's normal to find guys attractive. That does not mean that you are in love with him, or that you even have a crush on him. It sounds to me like you find this Josh kid attractive, and that's fine. It's human nature. However that does not mean you have to act on these feelings or break your boyfriend's heart by telling him you "might" have a crush on him. That's just really mean.

You may not be able to help how you feel, but you don't have to let the entire world (or in other words, your boyfriend) know. That Josh kid probably doesn't even like you like that. So it's best just to stay away instead of adding another problem into the equation.

I know you say you don't want to be single. However if you are having this hard of a time staying faithful to your boyfriend, or if you have some kind of feelings or another on any of these guys besides your boyfriend, then maybe you should be. Perhaps you just are not ready for a serious relationship at this point in your life. In fact, it would probably be better for you, and all other parties involved for you to stay single.

In a nutshell, my advice is to stay single until you find out what it is you are looking for. Everyone will be much happier that way.

I have a child that was "terminated" from his preschool on Thursday. We pay at the beginning of the week for the entire week. I asked for reimbursement for the Friday he is not allowed to attend and they informed me we would not be reimbursed. I informed them that it does not state anywhere in the contract that "terminations" will not be reimbursed. It talks about the termination reasons. The very small preschool informed me they would go to court over the small sum of money and informed on Friday that my child made a hole in one of the walls on Tuesday and they would consider the last day payment as coverage for the damage. Again, I was not informed until today (3 days after the apparent damage) that my son damaged a wall. I just want the reimbursement for the one day out of the week he is not attending due to termination, am I correct in asking for this?

If the school is acting this way, the only solution that may end in your favor is to go to court.

Like the person below me said, the school would need proof it was your child that caused the damage, they would need an estimated cost of the damage because I doubt it was the exact amount you paid, and they would probably have to have a very good reason for waiting so long to tell you about the problem.

If the amount of money in question is a small amount, you should really think long and hard about whether or not it's worth the trouble. You will have to pay for a laywer, and most likely have to go through the long court process before you ever see the money anyway. That will probably end up costing you more money then it would save you. I believe you are within your rights to ask for reimbursement, but I think you should just be the bigger person and forget about it. It's really just not worth the hassle.

okay so me and my bf are gonna have sex pretty soon and was wondering why guys find it so attractive when girls swallow after a blow job..

Some guys don't. Some like it better when a girl spits. Basically you have to do something with ejaculation, and if it's in your mouth, guys just find it hot.

My boyfriend's parents are really strict Christians, to the point where some of their rules are ridiculous. I respect that, though, so I don't complain.

However, there is one thing they do that is driving me crazy. My boyfriend's brother has five kids. Him and his wife live on the property, so the kids are always at his parent's house, so they watch them a lot.

Sometimes when the kids act up, they hit them. I understand maybe spanking here and there, but even then I'm a little iffy, but they take it way beyond that. His dad will hit them in the head for the smallest things. Usually he won't hit them very hard, but I feel like he shouldn't even be doing that at all. I'm afraid it can cause some kind of damage since they're still growing and everything. I haven't said anything yet because I don't want to cause problems, and any time someone says they have a problem with something he does, he'll pull some quote out of the bible to "justify" it. What should I do?

Another problem I have with them is they treat one kid way better than the others. There are two girls and three boys, and one of the boys had open heart surgery when he was a baby, but they still give him much better treatment than the others. He's around 6 or 7 maybe, but acts like a baby. He throws fits when he doesn't get his way, and pouts. I've never seen him get in any kind of trouble like the others, and they always claim he's the best, when honestly I think he behaves the worst. My boyfriend's mom even admits she spoils him, but she isn't doing anything to try to stop. So, basically, the other kids act up they get smacked in the head, but he always gets his way. What can I do about this, too?

It's not your place to evaluate whether his parents are playing favorites. Unfortunately it happens in a lot of families, and it's not your place to step in and say anything.

However nothing any of those children do justifies hitting, and it's your duty as a good person to say something about it. A lot of parents spank their children. I was spanked by my father and grandparents. I do not consider it abuse, because some parents believe spanking is okay if it teaches your children right from wrong. Now I personally do not agree, but I turned out okay. However if he is hitting these children in the head, that is NOT okay. And unfortunately it's most likely worse when you are not around. You should definitely mention it to your boyfriend, and if things continue you should tell someone.

He cannot justify abusing a child if that is what he's doing. Christians are supposed to be good people, and beating children is the opposite of that. He is NOT a Christian, he is a hyporcite.

You should tell someone if you feel it's really serious.

I had dated this boy named Evan for about 1 year and something. Our relationship was great, no complaints here. We were in love. The reason we broke up was because he was moving away to college and we didn't want each other to get in the way of our studies and our college life. Well after 6 months of crying and heartache for me I finally got over him and moved on. So I met this other guy named Ray. Ray is such a sweetheart and a great guy. We've been dating for three months and I'm really happy with him. In the beginning of my relationship with Ray, Evan told me how he misses me and he's still in love with me. Obviously I was annoyed because he had his chance for about 6 months after our breakup. But I turned him down. So now three months later, I keep have dreams of being with Evan, even though I'm perfectly happy with Ray. Evan's a great guy I admit but I've moved on. Or so I think. But when I keep having these dreams it makes me think otherwise. Have I really moved on?

I'm not one to base my emotions on dreams but, they are really bothering me and I just had the third one last night. Any help on what this all means?

Of course Evan is going to be on your mind, even if you aren't thinking of it willingly. He was a big part of your life at one time, and you loved him. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and it does not mean you are still in love with him. Maybe it just means that you still care for him subconsiously. And that's fine, and it's understandable.

Evan left you. He left you broken-hearted so he could go "live up his college life." Which FYI, that means he wanted to party with other girls with no strings attached. When he found out you had moved on, it upset him. That's how guys are. Now if you feel you still love him, maybe you should take a step back and re-evaluate your relationships with both of these boys.

Good luck with your problem.

hi, for some reason, my vagina has been itchy for the past day or so. the itch subsides most of the time, but usually at night the itchiness sometimes will get unbearable or it'll be a light itch. i'm a very clean person and i'm just wondering why it's itchy! i doubt i have an std (trust me). there's no weird discharge and it doesn't sting when i urinate (if that helps). but because i itch so much, sometimes my vulva and lips turn red and swell. thank you so much in advance.

You can have a topical yeast infection. That just means it doesn't neccessarily just effect your discharge and the inside of your vagina. It can effect your vulva and around the area as well. This may be what you are experiencing. You can go to your doctor and tell him what you are experiencing. (S)He will probably give you a cream or a pill to take.

There are ways to avoid yeast infections if you are more prone to them then other people.

- Eat as much yogurt as you can. It doesn't even matter what kind it is. Yogurt has good bacteria in it, so it can counteract the bad bacteria in your yeast infection, and it can keep you from getting one in the future.

- Always pee before and after sex. I am not 100 percent sure why this can keep you from getting a yeast infection, but it can. It will also prevent you from getting a painful UTI and it's better for you anyway.

- People are most likely to get infections after they menstruate because their hormones are all out of balance, so the bacteria in the vagina becomes out of balance too. So change your pads as often as you can while you are on your period. This will keep the area clean and dry. If it's damp, it becomes a breeding ground for bad bacteria.

- Avoid scented tampons. They are very bad for you, and they will make you stink in the long run.

- Use unscented soap. I like the unscented Dove body wash. I haven't had an infection since I have started using that stuff and I have been using it for a while. Don't wash up inside of yourself either. Soap kills your good bacteria that keeps you clean along with the bad bacteria. This can cause a yeast infection. Clean yourself good, but don't make it a point to clean up inside yourself.

- Summertime is the most likely time for yeast infections. Most people spend all of their time outside, and the area becomes sweaty and damp. So try to stay dry as much as you can. Use Summer's Eve wipes, but remember not to clean up in you. Sometimes these wipes cause infections instead of preventing them, so if that's the case stop using them. Change your bathing suit after swimming as well. Do not wear your wet bathing suit all day. That's the worst thing you can do for infections.

good luck!!

whats the difference between a 2006 cobalt LT and a 2006 cobalt SS?

SS stands for Super Sport.

It has a more sporty appearance. The SS is much more expensive because it's fully loaded, and has all the features that model offers. Auto windows, rear defroster, heated seats, sunroof, etc. The SS also usually has a spoiler and sporty tires. The seats are also leather, with colored inserts thta make the seats look extra sporty.

hey i liked the advice you've given me before :) soo..

i'm bringing my ex with me on vacation in july. we broke up in april, but we both decided that we were still gonna stay good friends and see where things go from there. i'm still in love with him. he broke it with me because he said his feelings changed, but he said he still wanted me in his life, and i know he means it too. we're going to myrtle beach together and do you think theres a chance of him falling back in love if we're like on the beach at night flirting and hanging out? what do you think of this situation? and what things can i do to make it as romantic as possible. i would do absolutely anything to get back with this guy.

17/f, 17/m
thanks so much for your time.

oh and we were together for about 9 months, if that helps. and we met in the summer and starting dating in the summer.

I think the whole situation is just trouble waiting to happen. I have given girls who were in similar situations the same advice. I really don't think they take it either, but maybe you will since you like my advice ;)

Going from dating to just friends never works, because one person's feelings is almost always different. It will be awkward no matter what. In my opinion this guy is doing one of three things;

1) He's using you to get to the beach. This is unlikely. :)

2) You are a booty call. He doesn't want to be tied down, but he still wants to get some. More likely.

3) He's in a confusing stage in his life, and he isn't sure what he wants. Most likely.

Either way this isn't going to work, and none of those scenarios will end with you guys getting back together unless you do something about it.

You have two choices here.

1) You let this play out. You may hook up, and everything may seem great at the beach, although just so you are aware, Myrtle Beach really isn't that romantic. It's always crowded, so your romantic idea probably won't play out. Most likely this will end in heartbreak for you, because once you go back home, things are going to go right back to how they were.

or

2) You let him know that this isn't going to work like he wants it too. He's not going to stay single forever, and eventually he will meet another girl if you two aren't together. What will you do then? He has to know that things cannot continue like they are because eventually something is going to happen one way or the other. Let him know he can have all of you, or none at all. If he chooses not to be with you, you have to realize eventually it would be what's ultimiately best for you.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, and I am sorry for that. But I am just trying to give you the best possible advice for your well-being, and this is it.

Good Luck.

Hi there!

I have an idea for a book series, and I honestly really like it, but my agent would like me to try it out on others to see, what the reception would be like. So here it goes.

The girl Hadley, has discovered a time machine left to her by her mother (who recently died of cancer) and she decides:
In the first book: To go back to her mothers childhood and spend more time with her mother.

Second Book: Go back to a historical event that changed history to see how different the world would be..

so let me know how you like it, or if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

The historical element is the asassination of John F. Kennedy

And Hadley's mom will not know who Hadley is. She will only find out on the day of Hadley's birth

It could be either really good, or really bad. I have read plenty of books where the storyline had great potential, but the book was disappointing. It all depends on how good of a writer you are, how you do the JFK thing, and how believable the story is.

I am an avid reader of fantasy books. I like the idea of escaping to a world where anything is possible, but it has to be believable. If you can make the story believable without it becoming too far-fetched, then it could be an amazing story.

Also the books would have to have something to hold onto the reader's attention. For example, if the largest element of the first story was just Hadley getting to know her mother, then it wouldn't really be an attention holder. So you would have to do something to keep the reader interested. You would also have to incorporate the first book into the second. Those are two completely different story lines, so they would have to be somehow interlaced.

Good luck with your series! It sounds awesome.

i'm not really asking too much for advice, but more of an opinion and what you think. so heres my story (17f&17m):

i dated this guy for 8 months and we broke up the last week of april...he said he doesn't have the same feelings for me. however, we went to prom together and i was laying on this guy cause i wasn't feeling good and he was off doing his own thing...and he got upset at me for that...we both decided that itd be best for us not to talk until summer starts (which is in like a month from now) then he wants to start hanging out again as friends and he said "if its meant to be, it'll be". we started going out during the summer of last year and i was thinking of doing something cute when we hang out to realize why he fell for me last summer. i really love this kid and he treats me right. so what do you think i should do with this whole situation..is there anything that can boost our chances of getting back together?

oh and should i text him first when school ends? and how long should i wait? or should i let him text me?

I have no clue why this guy broke up with you. I may have said that it was because his feelings were different from yours until you told me he got mad at prom. This shows he is jealous of you being with other guys, but why would he be if he just wanted to "stay friends?"

I don't want you to get offended, but you asked my opinion so I am going to give it.

I think this guy does not like the idea of being tied down. You dated for a long time, and that kind of committment can be scary for some guys. My boyfriend and I went through this stage at about the same time you two are now. He probabably got jealous at the dance because he does have feelings for you still, but he doesn't want to.

He wants you to text him over the summer so you guys can hang out as "just friends." He still wants to see you, only without all the extra baggage of being in relationship. If you are prepared to deal with that, then that's great. It's probably best just to let him take time away from you though. If you all continue hanging out while not dating, what incentive does he have to to go back into something that pushed him away so much?

Go about the rest of your school year, and try to forget about all of this. Have fun with your friends and take advantage of being single. If he decides to text you once summer starts, you can decide whether that's what you want or not. Who knows? You may not want to go back into the relationship. If you do, be sure to let him know this. Tell him you still have feelings for him, so hanging out just to be hanging out won't work and if he wants to be with you, he'll have to deal with being in a committed relationship. It's the only healthy way, please trust me on that. I would know.

Good Luck =]

okay so theres this kid that i go to school with and i like him. and were having this dance thing at the end of the year. his friend (lets call him D) asked me who i was going with i was like well i dont know if im even going but if i do i kinda wanna go with (well call him T) T. and D was like oh well he wants to go with you but he doesn't know what you'll say. i was like well i would say yes. so he called T over and we were about to talk then he walked away and i tried talking to him for like the rest of the day. but he walked away every time i came up to him. is it because he doesn't want to go with me? or because hes nervous about it?? and then a couple days later D came up to me again and was like hey whats up. i was like well T hasn't really talked to me since you told me he wanted to go to the dance with me. and D was like well he's nervous about it. i was like oh well i kinda guessed that. and then D said that T wanted to go out with me. i was like oh ok. and then i had to go to class so that ended the conversation. but i guess i want to know like what can i do to make the situation get better? because me and T havent really talked much and we like used to talk all the time. like what can i say to him. i won't see him till Monday but I'll probably talk to him on myspace today or tomorrow. so what can or should i say to him??
please and thank you.

(sorry its long)

I wouldn't talk to him over the internet about the situation. That most likely won't get you anywhere. It's best to always talk about things like this in person, especially since he is so nervous. If he is this nervous about asking you to the dance, imagine how weird it would be to actually go with him. So definitely discuss the situation with him Monday at school.

If he is so nervous that he is avoiding you, then you have a problem on your hands. You can't make him ask you, so it's best to confront him straight up and ask why he has been acting differently lately. Then say something along the lines of, "Look, I want to go to the dance with you. D said you were interested, so do you? If not that's cool, but I would like to know."

If you face him with a direct question, he'll have to answer you. Good luck! :]

my boyfriend and i are having sex, and yes we're using condoms. but i am aware that condoms are not 100% effective (like everything else in the world) we are not at the financial level to be ready fr a baby if any slip up occurs and if I were to get pregnant i would be all for an abortion. He is not in agreement with me, he wants to keep the baby if something happens despite our lack of money and maturity. what should i do about this delema

No one should have sex unless they are fully ready to accept the resonsibility for their actions. Regardless of what precautions you take, there is ALWAYS a chance of becoming pregant.

If you were to become pregnant, that baby would be just as much his as it would be yours. He should have a say in everything regarding that baby's life, including whether or not he or she lives. I am anti-abortion, so of course I am going to tell you not to have sex if you are willing to so easily throw away a human life.

If you continue having sex with this mindset, please make the decision to be put on birth control, and take it correctly every time so you hopefully never have to be faced with this situation.

If you were pregnant, ultimately the life of that baby would rest in your hands. Like someone else said, you would be the one carrying it for 9 months, and would most likely be the primary care giver. Just remember that baby is only half yours. You did not conceive him or her on your own, so you should let your boyfriend have a say regarding this.

I recently started hanging out with this guy. We went to the movies and things went really, really well. As we were leaving he said to me "I will definitely call you tomorrow" and he did. He called me and we hung out the next day. He came over to my house and everything was perfect. We went on a walk and things were just perfect. We talked the next day and he said that he could probably hang out one night this week after he got off work if I wanted to and of course I said that I wanted to. I was talking to him today and we didn't talk as much as before. I feel like things are changing already and I don't really know what to do. I asked him if he wanted to hang out this weekend and he said that he was busy friend and hanging out with friends saturday so he'd 'let me know' but it was just different from before. I try not to get my hopes up but I do and it ends up not working out.

This might not make a lot of sense but I just don't really know whats going on. If he likes me or not.

Try not to get overly eager. That can sometimes push guys away. It's important to give guys space, because they usually don't like to feel smothered.

I'm sure he likes you, or he wouldn't have hung out with you the day after the movies. Just let him come to you. If he calls, that's great. But if he doesn't, then what's the point of wanting to be with him?

Wasn't to sure what folder to put this in, so I hope this is the right one!!

Since I was about 14 I've wanted to have a baby so much, and to make it worse 8 of My close friends have recently had babies (It isn't one of them "well If My friends have one I want one" moments) none of which where planned.

However Me and my Boyfriend both want a child, sooner rather than later we have spoke about where we would live, about income and how we would support our child.

In all honesty I know I'm ready to be a Mum.

I am currently going into My last year at collage where I am studying 4 academic subjects and planning to go to university in the future.

I know people will say wait till I am older and have more to offer My child but I want someone to give Me honest oppinons and let Me know about maybe any experiences they have had.

The Last part of My problem is if I was to ave a child, I know My family would not be best please, they would support Me, but I know that I would have let them down!!

Whenever I see somebody else with a beautiful baby girl or boy, I can just imagine myself in that position giving a baby un conditional love and anything which they need.

Please give Me your honest advice as I would very much appreciate it.

!Thanks!

I understand you completely.

I just recently turned 18, and being a mother is my biggest dream. I get so jealous when I am with my friends who have become parents, or who are currently expecting, because I want to be in that position so badly.

You just have to understand that if this is what you truly want, it would be in the best interest of your future child to wait. I know you don't want to hear this from anyone, but it's really what's best for you and your future family.

When I get aggravated and have my "baby mania" moments, I just have to look back a re-assess my situation. I have at least 4 years of college ahead of me, and when I have a baby I want to have a great income so I can give my baby everything he or she needs and more, a house, and a supportive family. My family loves me, and will always love me no matter what happens. However just like your family, a baby is not what they want for me right now.

You should re-assess your situation as well. No one can stop you from having a child if that is what you want, but is that really what you need right now? Your plans of going to university in the future will stay just that if you have a kid right now. It will never happen, regardless of what you may say. So go ahead and do that now. You said yourself you only have one year left. Take summer classes to make the time go by faster, and after landing a good job and a home, then start trying for a baby. A few more years really are not that long when you consider that you will have a baby for the rest of your life. That's not something you can put on hold.

Just think about it.

I have had sex about 4 or 5 times not with my current boyfriend who i have been going out with for about 2 months, as im scared too as it has hurt the last 4 or 5 times, although i had it one of those times and it wasn't too bad. Now he thinks i just don't want it from him, he knows im not a virgin and he thinks theres something wrong with him. Last time i attempted it with an ex and it hurt too much i had to stop. Why does it hurt still?

Explain to him that your past experiences with sex haven't been enjoyable, and you are nervous about trying again.

I don't know why it's still hurting you. Make sure you are well lubricated and relaxed, because if you aren't both of these things, then sex will not be enjoyable.

I play golf, and I want to know what types of clubs are like the best brands you can have, and ratings on brands for things like gloves, clothes, jackets, etc..
By the way, I'm a girl

My boyfriend plays golf, but I do not know much about women's clubs. I do however know that most brands are considered number one in something.

Taylormade has the best drivers. I got my boyfriend the 2009 Burner for Christmas, and he likes it pretty well most of the time. He also has recently bought the Burner 3 wood which he loves.

His hybrids and irons are all Nike, and he loves them. However I think Titleist are the number one irons and balls in golf. I know for sure that Scotty Cameron putters are the best; I would highly suggest a Scotty Cameron putter.

I personally think your apparel should be mainly focused on what the majority of your clubs are. But most people get their clothing from their pro shop where they normally golf at. Like I said, my boyfriend has a Taylormade driver and three wood, Nike hybrids and irons, Mizuno wedge, and Titleist balls. You don't have to match.

Your main goal should be to find what is most comfortable to you. Every club has a different feel, and it's up to you to decide whether it is the right club for you.

I am assuming you are new to golf since you do not know much about the clubs. It is probably best for you to buy an offbrand set at Walmart or something until you get good, because you don't want to scuff up expensive clubs. A cheap set can usually go for around 100 dollars, and they are a great starter brand.

Happy Golfing! =]
