Q: I live in San Francisco and the love of my life(Kyle Yamauchi) lives in San Jose. I really want to see him, but the distance bites! What should i do!!!
jump on a bart to somewhere close to san jose, then call him to pick you up.

Q: What do most people define as "hooking up"?
well.... hooking up can mean alot of different things. it's impossible to say that a majority of people think it means a certain thing. some say it's just going out, like "hey let's hook up for dinner." sometimes it's actually boyfriend/girlfriend like "yeah we hooked up last week." there isn't really a majority definition. it's just your own perspective.

Q: 16/f

I've been friends with this one guy for about half my lifetime, but we hadn't really become GOOD friends until the past few months. I really like him and he knows it, but he doesn't want to start a realtionship before college. He claims that he likes me back, but I don't believe him and I really don't understand how he expects me to react when he tells me that he likes me but he doesn't want to go out. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!? I'm kinda afraid that someone's just going to steal him away from me once he goes to college, even though I shouldn't be since he was never really mine to begin with. I don't know whether to be happy or heartbroken since I never really got a strait-up answer. What should I do? Pretend like he never existed and watch him disappear after he goes to college?
If he says he likes you but doesn't want to start a relationship, that usually means he wants you with no strings attached. to be able to have a girl to come to, but not have that "title" as a boyfriend. it's not your fault you have these kinds of feelings for him. you don't have to be happy he's leaving, but it'll probably do you some good. give you time to chill and think about everything. think about what he really means to you, what you expect out of a relationship with a guy, and how he would fit into this. if you're unhappy with the fact that you didn't get a straight-up answer, don't be afraid to ask him for one. if you don't then it'll keep bugging you, not knowing what he meant. if you still think of him as a friend, then you won't want to pretend he never existed. Just talk to him and let him know how you feel and ask him how he feels, and if he gives you an answer you don't understand, make sure you get him to explain exactly what he means so there isn't any unclear-ness between you.

Q: so ive turned 18 most of my friends are in relationships and im not i feel really low sometimes because im not like ugly or anything or fat i keep thinking why do i not have a bf!

a relationship isn't something you should worry about too much. yeah most people are in one, but don't feel left out. it just means you haven't found the right guy yet. he'll come by sometime in your life. don't worry about ex's. if it was meant to be then he'll treat you the way you want to be treated and should be treated. don't worry about an ex liking you. just sit back, relax, and enjoy the single life while you can.

Q: 18/f

All my friends have had sex before and I'm feeling really left out. We're all going off to college in a few months and I'm wondering if I should find a summer fling just so that I'll be "experienced" for college. I don't want to feel like I don't know what I'm doing if it happens. What do you suggest?
sex isn't something you should do just for the hell of it. who cares if everyone else has done it before. yeah you might feel left out, but you shouldn't want to have sex so you know what to do when it comes up in college. just wait until you find someone who means alot to you and make the decision then.

Q: Are you a virgin?
that's something for me to know and you not to.

Q: Is it weird that books turn me on? Have you ever tried masturbating with a book?
it's not wierd. whatever turns you on turns you on. and no i have never tried masturbating with a book.

Q: What is a lemming?
"A short-tailed, furry rodent known for its peculiar habit of committing mass suicide by hurling itself -- along with hundreds of over Lemmings -- over steep cliffs and into the ocean."

Q: I really like South Park, but my mom won't let me watch it. Why not? 10/m
South Park has alot of crude humor and bad language. probably not alot that a 10 year old like yourself will understand. she just doesn't want you influenced by the cartoon, that's all.

Q: I was playing Zoo Tycoon yesterday and I got turned on by the T-rex roaring... is that weird?
totally not. if you dig dinosaurs then maybe you will want to consider archaeology.

Q: What is a penis?
a penis is the male's reproductive organ.

Q: So like.. I'm 14/f and I have this boyfriend and we're like.. thinking of having sex and yea, but then like.. I don't know if I want to. But then like, I do.. like really bad. But then like, I don't.. like also really bad. What should I tell him? I don't want him to think I'm a prude.. but then like, I don't want him to think I'm a slut either. But then like.. I'm pretty sure I love him a lot. Not like the love for your grandma, but like the kind of love where I want him in my pants sometimes.. I think. I'm not really sure about anything. But he's really hot. And I want to see him naked. What do you think I should do? I think he's had sex before 'cause he's like.. 18. But then.. I don't know. I want to get it over with. But then.. I do know, 'cause then I kinda don't want to get it over with. Do you know what I mean?! WHAT DO I DO?!
i wouldn't suggest having sex at such a young age. worst case scenario is you get pregnant and that wouldn't be very good. just tell him no. he should know enough that you are still a minor and shouldn't be pressured into something like this. even if he's hot it's early in your life. there are more hot guys out there waiting for you to meet them when you're older. it's not prude-y to say no to sex.

Q: So pretty much I'm like... Harry Potter. I have magic powers and everything, but then I'm like afraid to tell my friends cuz I'm afraid they'll like look at me differently. I want to like show them cuz I totally want to be popular, but then like... I don't know what to do.
i wouldn't know what to do, since i lack magic, but it's totally up to you whether or not to tell your friends. yeah, popularity is exciting, but just don't let it go to your head and out of control.

Q: 10/F

I just started my period... and I don't know what I should do. It's like all bloody and getting on my underwear. I can't ask my mom either cuz she kinda like... died. And my dad doesn't know anything about this stuff. Which is better: a pad or tampon?! And how do you use them?! Can you help?! PLEASE!!!
i don't know which is better. to use a pad you have to take the paper off the adhesive then put that sticky side onto the crotch of your underwear. tampons usually have plastic applicators you can put into your genital and then just take out the applicator.

Q: I have this BIG EMERGENCY!!!! My friend is getting married to some guy who is also a homophobic killing MACHINE!!! I don't know how to tell her that her fiancee is.... that kind of person. What should I do??? btw.... I'm 25/M
tell her straight up. if she doesn't know then it would be wise to just let her know. if he actually "kills" and you have sufficient evidence, then calling the police might be a better idea.

Q: I'm hungry... what should I do?
eat something that you enjoy the taste of. personally i like rice and scrambled eggs, so when i'm hungry i can go and cook those. if you're in a hurry you can try hot pockets or easy mac.

Q: I'm thirsty... what should I do?
drink gatorade if you're getting dehydrated. it'll help replentish your system. if you aren't then drink some kind of drinkable non-poisonous fluid such as water or soda.

Q: I have to go pee... what should I do?
go to the toilet. if you're a guy you can stand up, and if you're a girl you might want to sit down. do your business and make sure to clean up after yourself. putting the seat down is a nice thing to do too.

Q: Are you gay?
