Q: i am only 16 years old i lost my daughter.. she died and i lost my baby daddy... i want to die... i have my ma who killed my daughter and my dad who is a stranger... i got raped at the age of 12 and raped agian at my lil brothers birthday party when i was 15. i have lost alot and was never givin much in the first place... passing aways would be like sending me to a better place,.
You can't say that. I lost my son at the age of 18...a bit older than you. Now I'm blessed with my baby and I'm with the father of my child. Just like you after I had a miscarriage, the father of the baby left as well. yes, it's hard! It's very hard but you can do it and get through it. It will get easier. As time goes by it's easier. And I know how hard it is to talk about getting raped, but you can talk to somebody, a therapist...anybody that actually won't go around telling people. Be very careful who you tell that to. But like I said, just keep on going and life will get easier. You can't ever give up.

Q: Hi I'm 20
Year old female
And I'm thin but I over
Eat like crazy and it's really takin a toll on my body. I just can't help it. Now that it's my period I'm eating double which is so bad . I can't stop I really can't.


How do I stop? And get on a normal diet?

Don't eat everything in sight! When you feel like you're satisfied stop eating...when you over eat you send your system into shock!

Q: hi im 19y.o guy bi im trying to get this guy out of my head but i cant seem to block him out when im with my girlfriend he suddenly pops in my mind how can i erase him from my mind for good?
You can't. What you can do is look in the positives in the girl, look what made you attracted to her to begin with..or start off fresh with somebody new that will make you enjoy the chase that you're missing. You have to start paying attention to other things in order to forget the past. You are able to do it, if you strongly believe it you will do it.

Q: my boyfriend of two years and i have had a couple issues with him messaging girls on facebook. i found a conversation once of him telling her he'll send pictures if she does of her boobs, it was graphic and i was upset, yelled and left the house and he came out (after going upstairs to see what i was upset about, i told him to read his messages) and told me that it was an old message that popped up and it was before me (he was a sort of man slut when he was younger, we're both in our early 20's, by the way) but when i wanted to bring it back up to clarify the date he said he had deleted it cause he didn't want to re-read it all, it was embarassing.


other situations have just been smaller things like calling girls pretty and they call him gorgeous, she gives him her number or he has vice versa, if they actually text eachother, i have no idea.


we've had about three major fights about every 6 months or so about this, and the last fight was the worst, we almost broke up. he said he loves me (i am the only person he's ever said this to, me as well, he comes from a bad background so he has trouble trusting people, etc. and i know he really does love me) that i'm his soulmate, there'll never be anyone else but me not trusting him is making the relationship feel tainted, that there's nothing else he can say. some of the girls he mssaged and "flirted" with were co-workers at his old job and that's just how they always talked, the other girls he was just saying hi too, he never texts these girls, he doesn't even respond to some of their messages, he gets messages like these all the time he can't help it. i just find it odd because he doesn't like a lot of people, he finds a lot of them backstabbing and moronic and finds girls for the most part to be sluts (not saying ALL girls ARE but the ones that contact him because hes cute and in a band are) so i just don't see why he messages them if he finds them stupid and slutty and not worth to talk to? i told him how i'm just scared he's going to leave me (me and him met over facebook messaging so i feel it would be just as easy for him to do with another girl), but i apologized for blowing up and i was going to try and stop. the thought of losing him makes me sick.


but i just keep getting this feeling like it'll never stop, he's already said a couple times he would, he deactivated his facebook once because of it all but he's in a band so he has to have one for socializing and marketing purposes, everyone in the band has to be active, which i DO understand. but now, i was just on the computer and his facebook was up and i KNOW i should stop, but i just keep getting this gut feeling and i was right. i found more messages (these are all archived by the way so they're like, messages hidden, put on the backburner, so to speak) to some more girls just saying hi, they didn't answer, one girl gave him her number and said to text her, and he replied "sext you ;)" and she asked why he never texted her (he doesn't have a phone right now though so i dont have to worry about that) and there was a couple other pretty girls he said hello to as well. also ran into an ex the other day and was saying how he tried to hide from her so they wouldn't get in a conversation, etc., but then he messaged her a hi as well.

i just feel like he wouldn't TRULY lie to me, he doesn't seem the type and after two years i think i would know. i and i know there's no way he can cheat on me pyshically cause we live together, we're honestly together 24/7, we even work together currently and have to share the same hours cause of ride situations. part of me just wants to say this is him being a guy, flirting around, some people think that's ok? but i just don't see why he would still find this ok if we've had SEVERAL fights, BIG fights over it, obviously i don't like it. it just seems like sometimes he gives me these answers that SOUND right at the time and i go along with them, but when i think back they don't seem that correct of an argument. AND he's constantly making comments if my phone goes off if its some guy or says about how guys always like my facebook pictures, if i go here dudes are going to hit me on and he's not there to do anything about it, so he's protective over me.

but i'm scared to bring it up anymore cause if i do, i'm sure we'll be done and i honestly couldn't handle that, he is my other half.


during our last fight he told me if i ever see something just to ask him about it but i'm too scared that he'll blow up. you know how some people say to "just do this" but when you actually do it they get pissed anyways...

i just wish i could stop looking at his messages, i just keep hoping to see nothing going on and there's just always something i have to find



i just want some people's opinions. do you think it's just a typical guy flirting, boosting his ego a bit, all couples do it a little (even though i don't flirt with anyone, i barely talk to any guys anymore) or should i bring it up to him? sorry this is such a long ramble, there's just so much to explain i haven't even explained it all so i can more if there's anything else i should add later
You did not just say he needs facebook for the band? Really?! Let me tell you I dated a guy that was a "rapper" and he cheated on me thanks to facebook and I made the same excuses as you did. It went from just messaging on facebook, to texting, to him actually sleeping with girls! Yes I lived with him and STILL didn't believe it! Open your eyes up before you get hurt as bad as I did. You're staying in a relationship that has no future and no promise that he will ever change. Just let it be. Let it go. The more you're scared to lose him the more he will use that to his advantage. If he really loved you don't you think he would be more than willing to actually change his number? Not talk to girls like that? You might love him, no doubt about that; you actually do seem like you love him. But sweety he doesn't love you. I learned the hard way that they never will! Not the way that you can love.

Q: Okay, well me and my best friend told each other that we were bi and then she asked me out I said yes, but I warned her if we did go out it would ruin our friendship. She promised it wouldn't and then there is this girl in our life that we haven't liked since the beginning of the school year her name is Laizza. I told her me and Alyssa were going out and she just wrote me a message on Facebook saying that I ruined her life and that shes sure her life will be better without me in it. And that hurt me sooo bad to the point where I went in my room and cried for 3 hours straight! So uhm... After she told me soo many times she loved me and all this she goes and tells me I ruined her life. And I don't know what to do at all. I just am heartbroken I still love her to the most of my heart but I think she hates me. And uhm... I don't know how I'm supposed to get over it? It seems like I'm going to cry for the rest of my life? I don't know what to do anymore?!!? But I cut myself as soon as I read that! I just loved her soo much and she just left me!
Nobody is worth cutting yourself over or putting your life in danger. IF she doesn't need you in her life why would you need her? If she's fine without you you can be alright without her.

Q: I am dating a guy i really like but he doesn't want to make our relationship public.. He uses other girls as his display picture and wall papers but he has never used mine... I want to talk to him about it but I don't want to seem overbearing
I think you should talk to him. What do you have to lose? if he's acting like it's not a relationship then you don't have a relationship to lose. Ask him, why he doesn't want to make it public and let him know that you actually want it to be public because a relationship isn't a relationship if you can't hold your loved one in public. Ask him, talk to him about it, and if he still keeps it private..it's time to find somebody who won't.

Q: This guy. Goodness, this guy.

We're friends. He's 18, I'm 21. Our friendship started fast and escalated and we spend a ton of time together, and undoubtedly I'm attracted to him. He says he's not into girls like me (he wants the skinny perfect blonde, of course), but then he acts like he is. He'll have conversations with me about very personal, private things he's never said (or probably will say) to other people, and he gets sad if we don't get to hang out for more than a day or two. But, there's nothing specific happening between us. I'm too damn nervous to make a move, in case he's not interested despite the way he acts toward me v. other people... so what do you think he wants? How do I find out, short of an awkward conversation where I just have to ask? He makes me feel like a nervous 12 year old girl.
I don't think you should say anything. If he says he's into a certain type then let him be. I think you should maybe go without seeing him for a couple of days, have him miss you...after all you're just friends right? Don't let him know you're always available for him. he could have feelings for you, you never know! My best friend did but never did tell me! I mean it's up to you what you make out of it. But I think you should just let it be since you don't want to ruin a friendship over something that doesn't hold a lot of promise.

Q: Is this a tacky-looking poster? Would it look tacky if I put it in a black frame?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qbw5l2.jpg
Since it's going in your bedroom I think it's very fit for the decoration. I would, but I suggest putting it in a black frame. It is beautiful :)

Q: i have taken my periods 2 times in one month is that normal.
also i am bleeding really bad but the pain is in the lower stomache and my chest the bleeding came two weeks apart it stopped for those two weeks then started in the same month iks that normal i really need your help
Could be just hormonal balance for the month which is normal. Let the next month pass and if it is like that after your next period consult your OB.

Q: am bhuvaneswari(india) doing my b.tech eee 2nd year...
am from a middle class family... actually i aspired to become a doctor...but i have no one to support me to do medical since my family depends upon only me.... i cant start my medical career right now its not possible at all but at the same time i cant concentrate on engineering since all my interest is towards only medical..... what should i do at this situation?? how can i overcome this??please direct me...;(
What you can do is, finish what they want you to do. Finish engineering but then go for your medical. Although I know that would take several years. Or you can think of yourself finally and just do what makes YOU happy. This life is what makes you happy not them. Eventually they will get over it but I think if you want become a doctor you should. You should be whatever your heart desires. I don't think you should feel guilty for it!

Q: hi last year i tried to use a tampon. i got it in but then i couldnt get it out. i spent all night tryingto get it out. eventually at 5 in the morning i was half asleep (this may sound gross) and my mom pulled it out. it was the worst night of my life. this year i tried it again and it went in easier. its still not coming out. i tried everything. What should i do? is this normal? will i ever be able to use tampons?
thanx
im 13 btw
You have to leave the string outside, hanging out after you insert the tampon. Then just raise your leg, put it up on the toilet and pull it out. Try it, let me know if it works for you!

Q: I have never had a first kiss before. His do you kiss someone?
Don't think too much of it. I remember as I was growing up I used to google it and figure out ways because I didn't know what to do! Over time you just know how to! It's not hard but it is nerve wrecking if you've never been kissed ;) Just relax, let it happen on its own!

Q: Can u tell me what can it be when after having sex with your boyfriend you start bleeding and it isn't my first time it all started after having sex on my period then after I went we had sex I started bleeding for three weeks and I had sex this time I start bleeding hardcore during sex and for two days wat can it be and we don't use condoms
Your cervix — the narrow, lower end of your uterus — is usually the source of vaginal bleeding brought on by sex. Even if you have a healthy cervix, enough friction during sexual intercourse can cause bleeding. Inflammation of the cervix or some other abnormality can also result in bleeding.

In most cases, vaginal bleeding after sex is the result of harmless cervical changes, many of which don't require treatment.

But I suggest you still go see a doctor just in case it is something greater than what I have learned.

Q: I am 13 and a female.
We have been going out for about a month and a half and we still havent kissed. we have talked about it but then i was nervous so i didnt and he said that we would do it when we saw eachother...but it never happend obviously. So can soneone help me? Should I make the first move? Oh yeah im not sure if this will help but two weeks ago he broke his femur bone or something like that. will it make my chances of getting a kiss slimmer? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
You're in a relationship, kissing doesn't define it. Let it happen and it will be that much more special then when you rush it and talk about it. When the time is right it will be right ;)

Q: 13/f
Sorry for the lenth
So I'm friends with this guy (btw we are both freshman) and we are both pretty opinionated. We've known each other for 3 or 4 years, but didn't become friends until this year because he was really annoying. Sometimes we joke around and end up getting into some heated but still friendly arguments. Something that I've started to notice is he's pretty insensitive. For example, I'm in band and one day he was basically calling band stupid. And I'm totally fine with people having their own opinions, he was just belittling everything about it to the point where he was making me feel crappy. Other times, I'll joke around with him. One time, my friends and I were teasing him. I only said one little thing while my friends kept teasing him and he got pissed at me and threatened to destroy one of my school projects that I had spent hours working on.
Earlier today, we were talking about what movies we were going to watch for the remainder of class after we were finished with our standardized state test. He said some movie that my parents had already told me I couldn't watch. So I was just like okay I'll just sleep. Then he told me that I should just watch it and not tell my parents. That really made me mad because I don't like to lie to my parents for a number of reasons, respect for them and my religion being two of the most. When I told him that, he told me that he respects his parents but lies to them to avoid lectures and punishments and then he criticized the way my parents are (which is fairly overprotective but I understand why they are the way they are) and that I should stand up to them. In my culture, something like that is a sign of disrespect. He basically said that was stupid. And then proceeded to continue criticizing me and telling me that I was stupid for having respect for everybody, no matter how badly they treat me. It really hurt me that he was belittling the way I am, the way my parents are, my religion, and my basic morals as a person. And every time I bring up that he makes me feel so bad, he's just tells me that I'm insensitive when I tease him. And I don't even tease him as much as my friends do. I know when to stop and leave him alone, but he doesn't realize that when he's serious about what he says to me, that it really offends me. I'm just getting tired of the way he treats me sometimes. What should I do?
It seems like it's time to get a new friend. A friend is somebody that respects you, your beliefs and your wishes. So as I said, time to get yourself away from that friendship and not be around him. And good for you that you have that much respect for your parents. I wish that I was that mature and smart when I was 13...at 13 I was listening to my friends and 10 years later I hate myself for it and wish I treated my parents better. You will see how much better life is when you actually do respect your parents! Good luck xO

Q: I cheated on my boyfriend today, i really dont feel bad about it though. i dont know why i dont feel the need to tell him, the only thing i did was make-out cuz and he fingerd me only cuz he didnt have a condom. i sound so stupid i have no clue what is powering me to do this and i feel like i just wanna be bad and its not like this my bf treats me bad he actually is amazing i just feel trapped like i had a 4 year relationship 7 months ago and another one 2months ago. this guy is perfect like too perfect to let go so help me make sense of myself!
You don't feel bad about it? Then have you thought about leaving your boyfriend and letting him be with somebody that actually does CARE about him because it doesn't sound like you do. If you don't care enough to feel guilty, to feel remorse, to feel regret, then you're wasting his time. And you saying he only fingered me because he didn't have a condom is just stupid....you have a boyfriend after all. Rate me low, whatever, you're just a horrible person!

Q: im having seroius trouble with my ink cartridge i have used up two of my ink cartridges and i was hoping there was a way to fix that problem becuase when i print out pictures they always have white lines on them and i want those cartridges back to normal so that um they can print the picture out right again with no white lines around them please help
That means you need to buy a new ink cartridge and pictures in color use up A LOT of it!

Q: should i dye my hair blue or would it look gross and faded like most girls i want to dye my hair bright blue!!!!!! should i???



NO! NO! NO! That is the worst idea ever! Stay within the "normal" colors!

Q: Ive got everything ive asked for, and think we all get it in ways other than we would have wanted it. after 22 years of mma training, and 17 fights in the ring, and more than i can count out of the ring, im still getting just what i deserve. i never thought much about anything, then a cluster of events has me today with my fingers hitting buttons, and wanting to spill my mind to strangers?? i just realized the answers to everything are in my hand, and i just had to stop for a moment to notice it.. its cost me d.... many times over, but i got it. just stop and look in your hand, and stop trying to create feallings from actions, and money. im a spark of electricity going lightspeed. we are all able to do this if we let go of the stick in the river, then we have the energy of the entire river all at once! its just a f...... stick...
Well seems you like you know just as much as we can tell you! Keep up the good work and stay true to you!

Q: 21/F
My biological dad never really wanted me and growing up he never really paid me much attention especially once my parents got divorced. I was lucky if I got a call on my birthday/Christmas/holidays and as soon as I turned 18 I was lucky if I got a phone call once a year. I have an amazing stepfather who I consider my dad now. But it feels like I'm always getting into relationships with guys who never really want me either. I'm well aware that I seem to be most attracted to guys who end up disappointing me yet the guys who are constantly stable in my life I have no interest in them. It's like I purposely get into these relationships knowing very well it's not going to last and they're just going to leave me. It's weird how I can have such low expectations with my dad yet such high expectations from guys that are just like him. So now i'm just wondering if my sucky relationship with my real dad effects my relationships? Am I really one of those cliche girls with "daddy issues"? I don't sleep around, I've actual only been with two guys and we were in a serious relationship. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself I'm just trying to figure out the source of my issues so maybe I can finally move on and stop going back to people who disappoint me the most.
To be honest, my father was great towards me did everything for me but I was still attracted to the same type as you. It all goes with growing up. Do you know when I actually started dating a guy that wanted me? When I turned 22! Before then I always ran after other men but then I found the right one. I'm not saying your issue doesn't contribute to it but I am saying that it's just all a part of being a girl and learning to grow up. Not all girls are into the "good" guys! You'll figure it out :) Just be more careful who you choose as your partner!

Hi,

I am leaving my name only as [AMS]. I feel like I came to this website to help people that are just as lost as I was at one point in time. My name won't make a difference. I remember thinking that if only I had somebody to share my story with, to tell my secrets to, having somebody I could trust completely without worrying. I never did have that security. I feel as if those things actually were present in my life I wouldn't have made the same mistakes I did with friends, boyfriends, family, drugs, alcohol, school, etc. but we all learn! So lets go on this crazy ride together ;)

My website on Fashion and daily blog is at Please support my friends new fashion website!
