My dream has always been to go to the ocean and etcc. My family has never gone for two main reasons my dad hates them, and my mom hates flying.

I told my boyfriend (whom I've been with 3 years) that I have always wanted to go there since I was little. Next month is my 23 birthday, and he surprised me by booking a trip to take me there! I am so excited!

However, I am worried my mom is going to be very angry. I told her how I wanted to visit a friend who moved to Texas for a job and she said "oh no I would be too nervous you flying there" she has always done stuff like this. I didn't go to the college of my choice, because it was 2 hours away and that was too far away from her.

I am worried about her reaction when I tell her. Should I feel bad? What should I say? I'm not wrong, am I? (link)
If its your dream vacation to go to the ocean then go ahead and go it doesn't matter what your parents say anymore your an adult and you can handle things on your own.I understand that your parents have been there for you since you were little but you can't let them take control of your life anymore. You saw what happened you didn't get to go to the college of your choice because your mom was afraid that it was to far away from her. They are done with their parenting and I'm pretty sure they did a great job on raising you but they can't keep on controlling your life. Talk to them and see what happens.


Can you make yourself pregnant (link)
In order for a female to get pregnant she will have to have sex with a male.The sperm from the male part goes inside the female and swims into the eggs and then it gives life into the females stomach.There are other ways to get pregnant but you can't get yourself pregnant.One way is to go to the doctor and get inseminated but it's really expensive.Insemination happens to be when the doctor takes a males sperm and it gets inserted inside of your vagina.


hi there im only a thirteen year old girl who is scared about starting my period, i started getting back aches and belly pains a couple days ago and today when i went to the bathroom i was scared that "it" was going to happen right then and there. but it didn't instead i got just a small amount of what looked like blood in my clit area and it made me scared. Can i have advice about what to do? is this normal? (link)
Every girl has to go through this phase and we all get terrified because we start bleeding from our vagina and we don't know what's going on. What your going through is all normal. When a girl is about to start their period they get painful cramps, backaches and sometimes your hormones start heightening up.Some girls get nauseas and they start getting headaches. It all depends on what kind of pain level you are with your period. At first you will spot blood and then you will start bleeding your first time getting your period it will be light because you just started it. Then when you get your period again it will either be heavy or light but it's a good thing it means your going into womanhood good luck.


Hi , so today I took a pregnancy test but I am so confused. So the pregnancy in order for it to be positive it should mark (+)(|) but if it's negative it should mark (-)(|). But my question is the pregnancy test marked (-) but it didn't mark the second line. In order to be positive the first line is a plus and then a straight line. And in order to be negative the first line should be horizontal (-) and then a vertical one (|). It marked negaitive as the first line horizontal (-) but it didn't mark the second line. Should I be worried? I mean the second line is the same for both positive and negative the only difference is the first lines a plus for positive and a horizontal line for negative. And I got the first negative horizontal line but no second line. Help?! (link)
You shouldn't be worried if it came out negative the first time then that means your not pregnant but if you want to make sure take another pregnancy test and good luck with the result that you get hopefully it turns out to be good.


I'm a natural w/ about 4a hair and I like to use shampoo, but I hear sulfate is bad. So I tried a sulfate-free shampoo but I like to have a some suds. I looked at tresemme naturals shampoo and that has "low sulfate". So, I'm wondering if that would damage my hair/ stop it from growing. If it will than are there any suggestions for shampoo that will did up but won't damage/ stop my hair from growing? (link)
I have natural long hair and it has been healthy for a really long time because I use coconut oil and a shampoo called renewing Argan oil of morocco it strengthens the hair restores shineness and softness. It also helped my hair grow even more It doesn't damage hair. I hope this helps your hair grow a lot.


How do i do it. I cannot live on this earth anymore. My family hates me and I only have my friends and coaches to love. I got home today and I came home to drying my lacrosse gear and my dad told me I was a mistake. My mom is in drugs and I can't do this anymore. What is a less painful way to end this. I'm sorry (link)
Life is given to you for a purpose and it is also a precious gift from God and both of your parents need help especially your mom. Don't get depressed just because he told you that and if you were a mistake you wouldn't even be here but you are that's all that matters. Find someone who understands,who you are because ending your life is not something to do keep on doing things that makes you happy. Don't let anyone bring you down. Stay strong and positive everything will turn out to be great and have a nice life.


I have a very sweet boyfriend that wants to have sex. He is my first boyfriend and I want to , but im scared I will get pregnant. I know to use condoms but they can break. And if I were to get pregnant everyone would look at me like a whore. Should I wait?HELP (link)
You should have sex with him it's nothing bad just tell him to wear protection don't be afraid to have sex just because your scared you will come out pregnant. Just take the risk I'm pretty sure you two will enjoy it .Just try to relax and let it happen and if you get pregnant it's a precious gift that you should nurture. I'm sure that you will not come out pregnant if he does it right and with a condom.


People shouldn't get abused .
its not right ... this world is so cruel .
I've been sexually abused all of my life . The thing that kinda kills me the most is that it was my own Father . man I swear I talk way to much . I have such a big mouth for the wrong reason ... I know I need to tell someone .
but im to scared I wish someone could do it for me ... but I know I have to .
and you cant help someone who wont help themselves... man sometimes I feel like just ending it all already and just commit suicide .
I cut myself do everything and cry but I just cant keep myself together . I hate my self my body . it's all my fault .
- just a stupid 14 year old girl who let people touch her because she was to scared to ever say anything .

Sweetie it's not your fault that your father was abusing you it was his because he has no respect and he doesn't know what it means to be a father. You shouldn't try to commit suicide just because of that. Don't be scared to stand up for yourself because if you don't he will keep on hurting you. Show him that you are not afraid of him and that you are strong.Dont cry for someone that has been abusing you he doesn't deserve your tears and don't cut your beautiful skin.I know it's awful but keep your precious life together it's worth it and it will get better if you stand up for yourself. Keep yourself distracted do something that makes you happy.Talk to someone that will listen to you and help you. You are a beautiful young girl that has a whole life ahead of her so don't lose it just because of an abusive person I don't even consider him to be your father because he has no respect or responsibility.So Be strong and don't let anyone touch you I hope everything gets better.


I am a 23 year old female and Father's Day is tomorrow and I still havent gotten my dad anything for Father's Day but i have am flat broke I have no money at all. Is it okay with me being 23there to make him something? (link)
There is nothing wrong in making a handmade gift that is something special. Especially that it's an occasion it's better than buying something and wasting your money on something that your father might not like. Try to think of things that he likes and then make it in to one thing I'm pretty sure that he's gonna like that because you spent your precious time on it and it involves all the things that he likes.


22/f

So I've been stressing a lot lately.
Sometimes I struggle to sleep because I am stressing out about what's going on. I'm late I normally get my period on the 2nd but it didn't come. We have both protected and unprotected sex but he didn't cum in me. We took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. What could be wrong? (link)
When you have sex your period cycle changes and that is because you had sex when your period is close. Don't stress about it because he didn't cum inside of you and the pregnancy test came out wrong this has happened to me but it was the period cycle that changed.If your still not sure go see a doctor.


im 13 and I masturbate all the time especially with brushs and I go really fast and deep and I think the cum sorta smelled like blood the other day so I was wondering if that could pop my cherry (link)
No you can't lose your virginity from masturbating. In order to lose you virginity the male part that is in between their legs has to go inside the female part that is in between her legs and he has to deep inside. The cum smelled like blood because you probably masturbated the day after your period left. But be careful if you masturbate really fast and hard you might stretch out your vaginal line and you might cause some pain there. One more thing losing your virginity hurts a lot and may cause bleeding for 2-3 days and make sure he is wearing protection.


Hi! I am girl and I think I am a procrastinator.
I always do my school stuff on the last minute! I always do my homework early in the morning while in class. I also do my assignments the night before and I don't study at home. I always do useless stuff like surfing the web, watching TV or listen to music instead of doing my assignments and homework.
I don't know why but I can't seem to stop this. Right now as I am typing this I have this assignment that is due tomorrow but I didn't even start writing it.
Am I a procrastinator?
Btw this started last year. (link)
You need to do things the day before get your life organized.Get a planner and plan the things that you need to do the day before. I used to be like this I never did my assignments in time I always left it for the last minute and that did me no good. Always be ahead of time so you don't have to be in a rush. If you do this everyday it will become a habit and it won't get you to no good. Listening to music once in a while is good when your not doing anything but if you have assignments to do it is bad, watching tv makes you loose focus on what you are suppose to do, surfing the web also makes you loose focus. You should make a studying room where you can study and do your homework in peace. Focus on school assignments.


I am a senior in college, and at this point I feel as though I have hit rock bottom. I have done everything imaginable to be successful, and yet I cannot manage to accomplish anything I want to. Some times I get so depressed that I am just going to end up doing nothing.
I hate to say this, because it would kill so many people I know, but sometimes it makes me consider suicide. My sister is not making really good choices right now, and my parents are so proud of me, because I will be the first one in my family to graduate. My death would also crush my boyfriend.
For the third time I was denied for an internship that I really wanted. After interviewing last week they told me at this point they have chosen to go into another direction. I am sick tired of these rejections. Not that I really believe in God, but I have been so desperate that I even prayed that I would not get another denial for an internship. All I wanted this summer was to intern in the city that way I could gain experience, while living with my boyfriend of four years.
The funny thing is that I know that I am more qualified than my peers for these positions. I have succeeded in college, earning a 3.96 GPA, succeeding in all relevant courses. My best attempt is to make sure that I understand the company inside and out, and what they represent. I review the job description, and try to prepare as much as possible.
My boyfriend told me that maybe I should be more involved, the funny thing is that I have been. This might sound like a crutch, one of the reasons why I have not been as actively involved in extracurricular activities related to my major is because I do not drive, and it is hard for me to get anywhere. At the same time I worked as a peer mentor, volunteered at the local hospital, am a member of the Honors Advisory Board, was the president of the History club at my last school, and will be the president of the Management Information Systems/Management Information Technology club. As you can tell, I have not really been a slouch.
Of course my resume looks like I have not really worked for a year. That is a downfall for me. I decided not to look for a job until this summer, because I did not think it would be practical to work. I commute to school every day by cab, train, and bus, so, although I only go to school in the next county it takes a while for me to get there. I am unsure if that’s done anything.
So, what do I do if this summer works out like I think that it’s going to? Without me working at an internship? I understand that I should try to get any job that I can right now. But where do I go after graduation? Even the entry-level positions that I have looked at that do not require much experience prefer internship experience. I have heard that I cannot even get into any of the MBA programs that I want unless I gain three to four years of professional experience.
The last time I tried to get any feedback from an employer, the person who gave me his business card never got back to me.
My cousin whose four years older than me, went for the same thing as me (a B.S. in Finance) and graduated right after the financial recession of ’08, and is now working as a Financial Analyst. Of course she interned for a semester, and is more outgoing than I am, so that likely helped her along.

People that are done with college and can't find an internship they don't try to commit suicide they try to find something that suits them. Try to look for a career that fits your life don't take anything personal especially when they say that they are going in a different direction. Just believe that you can do it and never give up on what you want to be. Prove them wrong try to be better than anyone else. Also you should learn how to drive it will make things easier for you.
