Q: 15/f This is really embarressing, but my discharge smells absolutely disgusting. I've asked my mom to take me to the gynecologist, but she thinks i'm a hypochondriac. Are there any ways I could try to convince my mom to take me? Are there any ways I can cure this infection or whatever it is? Could it be from not shaving the pubic hair and bacteria or something built up? I shower everyday and I clean it everyday. I'm not sexually active and I do not masterbate. The discharge is not an abnormal color, it's always white. Please give me ANY advice you have.
you should talk to your mom again. Seriously tell her you are really worried about it; and even though she may not be you'd feel better if you got to go. There is no way for any one on here to say if you can or cannot take care of it or how to; because we arent checking you out lol. So just see a doctor; and figure out what's wrong; i'm sure its nothing that cant be fixed! Good luck!

Q: Well here is the story. Ok the other day My friend had sex for the first time and she said that when her boyfriend put his dick in her it hurt really bad. And I told her ( not knowing anything about this stuff beucase I am still a virgin.)that it was probley beucase it was her first time having sex! and she said that she was moaning just because it hurt her so bad..! she said she let her boyfriend do it for like 2 min's and had to stop him. So when girls moan is it beucase they hurt so bad or it fells good? idk?

Thanks In advance!
much lover XoXoXo
usually moaning is a 'yay this feels good' sound not a 'ouch this hurts' sound. She may have just been 'moaning' for her boyfriends sake; even though it hurt. And also; i just recently lost mine and even though it hurt a lot there were moments where it felt 'moaning good' which is what she may have been experiencing.

So yes; moaning=good lol

glad i could help :]

Manhunt is always fun if you can get outside...
do a scavengar hunt (inside or outside)
any game system they have (PS2, GameCube, XBox whatever) set it up and play; or ask someone with a system to bring it.
Have people bring multi-player games and extra controlers;
Truth or Dare always works...but w/ guys and stuff make it more fun like "I dare you to eat..."
If you need more ideas feel free to ask

Q: My mom gets drunk at least twice a week, sometimes up to 4 times a week. Today she is drunk. Tomorrow is my 17th birthday, so I got the mail to see if I received anything, and I did, but I hate opening presents early.

I went to the bathroom and when I came out, the envelopes and package had been opened by my mom and she asked if I wanted to open them tonight.

I don't know what to do..I really don't like her right now. Opening my gifts for my birthday is ruined because of her. I've told my mom's parents and her sister about her getting drunk, and they've all talked to her. She won't stop. She says she's getting help every week..it isn't helping.

What do I do about her and my birthday? :(
you have to be persistant.
a few years ago my mom used to be drunk literally every night; and she was rarely home.
but she finally went to AA and got help.

My older brother and sister and i just told her over and over again how much she was hurting us.
You need to make it clear to her that her drinking effects everyone in your house and family; her sister, possibly your siblings, everyone. Ask her to please go to AA or a physcatrist; if she is already going; ask her to go more.
I will tell you from experience; if she doesnt get help and break the habit; it will get worse from one week to three times a week to everyday. And at that point it's very hard to break it.

Tell her you love her, and you know that she loves you; but she is hurting you a lot, and you hate seeing her drunk. I found it effective to talk to my mom while she was sober and drunk; get in both sides of her mind. (Although if your mother is angry when she is drunk i would suggest not being alone with her; just to be 100% safe; because when drunk you never know what someone will do)

Just tell her over and over you love her and care about her. It WILL take awhile. it WILL take time. It WILL take effort from you; your mother; and all involved. it will also take patience; this cannot be solved over night; trust me i went through years with my mother because i didnt have the strenght to ask her to stop. it will take much more then one conversation; it will be hard; lots of fights and lots of tears. But leaving it a lone is worse.
Obviously you cannot force her into AA or consuling; but she DOES need it to get better.

Good luck with everything; if you need help with anything else; or just someone to vent to from an outside source; just send me a message on here.
Hope everything works out!

Q: I've always had bad luck with guys, but somehow I have a "guy friend" that I've known for almost 5 years now. We used to have a thing but he's made it clear that he's not interested in me. I've always had feeling for him and that's never going to change. Lately we've been flirting and bordering on friends with benefits. Part of me thinks it's a good idea and another thinks I might get hurt. I'm realistic with myself and our lack of a future, but should I even risk getting hurt? Any opinions from someone that has been in this situation would help.
i;ve done the same thing you are about to do.
more than once.

trust me. i made a mistake.
you WILL get hurt.
friends with benefits usually (almost always) ends with SOMEONE getting hurt.
someone ends up likeing someone else; and getting a girlfriend/boyfriend
or the one that that person likes hates that they would do the FWB thing...
or person A starts to like person B

and the fact you have a history with him; and still have feelings for him; is 100% PROMISE you WILL get hurt.
It may seem like a good idea; because you still get to be physically 'with' him; but it still is gonna hurt like hell

my advice would be dont do it.
you will get hurt.
you might think now you wont; you that you wont get hurt; but it's going to happen.
I know it's hard to resist; but TRUST me.
it's for the best.

let me know if you need ANYTHING else

roxy
call you're tutor and let them know.
it's about a week in advance so it should be fine.

yes education is important; but you can miss one session.

best of luck!

Q: i have rele bad armpit smell and i wash no scrub my armpit in the mourning but it doesnt seem to work i use deodorant wat can i do to eleiminate or minimize smell
use a stronger deoderant.
you may even need to get a perscribed one from the doctor if it's that bad.

Q: I get sick more than most people. When I went to the doctor the other day & we were talking about how many days I miss of school a year on average & I told him, all he had to say was, "Wow .. are you serious?" You wanna know how many days I miss? Sometimes it even gets up to 25! My mom says there's no way I can get in gifted & keep up with my school work since they give you more work the higher the grade you're in, so I'm starting to get worried. No one else in my family gets sick like me. I mean, I take all of those multi-vitamins & things for your immune system daily! I hardley eat any candy & over all, I eat pretty healthy. I had my tonsils out though, but it's not helping too much. Is there a reason that I continue getting sick all the time? What is wrong with me?
i have the same problems
i missed i think 45 days last year...
i missed 19 in just ONE QUARTER
and yeah. sick days suck.
and those are just days i was there all day...not came in late//left early.

what is normally wrong with you?
my head hurts alot...(Advil...tylonal)
a lot of times my stomach is KILLING me (imodium or imodium AD)
my throat...cough drops...

now i dont take those a whole lot...normally i just sit through class which sucks; but sometimes you gotta do it.

i'm not sayin i dont miss a TON of class (like i said i missed 45 last year) but sometimes you gotta rough it...

now; some stuff that my doctor has told me and i've figured out on my own...

Stress. too much stress weakens the immune system. i dont know about you; but i get WAY stressed.
and it's a sucky cycle.
Get overwhelmed/stressed with school or whatever...you miss...get more work to make up...more stress...etc
so; get more organized and CALM DOWN.
i am still a stress FREAK...but if you chill out you will feel better...

next is sleep. I actually dont sleep all that much...but you have to keep it regulated. I usually fall asleep around 2 and im fine.
But if one night its 2:30...then 4...then 3...then 3:30...then back 2...i get all screwed up and my head hurts.
Also if im up that late i tend to eat...which can upset your stomach and get you to feel icky cause it doesnt digest...

(this is new and it helps me ALOT) drink as much water as you can. by bottles @ school. Drink water instead of milk at lunch. have your parents by bottled water and drink it. constantly. it keep you hydrated; and makes you pee. a lot. which will flush your system.

Stuff with your stomach/head could be from built up/left over stuff in your intestines (aka stuff you didnt poop out) so eat something like corn beef and caggage or laxatives even to clear your system out.
you might even want to take things to regulate that...


anything else just ask back

Q: I am divorced. We have 3 kids together ages 10,9,7... my son is the 7 year old. He comes home upset from visiting his father every time.He has been living with this boy who is 6 for a year, His mother has 5 kids by 4 different fathers and 2 are serving life in prison. one is (the boys) father. He is going to marry the boys mom in july and adopt him. This would be fine if he was a fit father but he is not.She is also a convicted felon.who only has custody of 1 of her 5 children. I am a suburban mom who makes a pretty good living, and gives my kids a good life, by the way he has also been convicted of domestic violence on our daughter. Should I keep my kids out of their home?? Its becomeing ever so bizarre.My son comes home cryin g because this new kid call his dad daddy, he feels like he has been replaced. His girlfriend told my son something about a month ago that set me off, they were spending the weekend with dad and girlfriend and my son asked when he was gonna see mommy and the crazy girl told him "mommy is dead i killed her", my girls said this was said..she has threatened to kill me through relatives, she is not all there. What do I do?By the way my ex and this woman were having affairs throughout our ten year marriage. This is not a stable environment for my kids, I am in a great relationship now and I might want to fight for sole custody and move away..Any advice??
if everything is really that crazy then i say dont give him visitation rights
or if you need to then go to court and get supervised visits

this isnt a stable thing for your kids; especially since they are still dealing with your divorce.

sole custody and moving away might be the best interest for the kids.
you should sit them down and ask THEM about it.
privatly.

i am only 15 and my parent are recently divorced and they fact that they talked to me and my siblings about it made a BIG difference.

Good luck and ask back if you need any help

Q: So I'm going on the pill.
For the sole-reason taht it's supposed to help with acne. (I don't have acne,but I get the odd pimple)

So I was wondering, should i tell my boyfriend when I start it?
I mean we haven't had sex,but he'd be interested in knowing though,right?
Or is it ny of his buisness?
well; if you arent using it for actual "birth control" then he doesnt need to know
but in the future with him you might be

i would tell him; just because i would be worried about him finding it; or if in the future having sex talking about BC and condoms and being like "oh by the way i've been on birth control for X number of months..." he might wonder why you didnt tell him...

But dont just bring it up outta the blue...and make sure you are ALONE when you do or it will be VERY awkward...

best of luck!
(and for Acne pills i suggest Ortho-TriCylcen by friend uses it and it's clinically proven to help with acne cause it's high estrigen)

Q: Yesterday I lost my virginity to my boyfriend. I didn't bleed and it didn't really hurt (but then, I WAS drunk.) I ride horses a lot, I use tampons, and I DO masturbate. He asked me seriously if I was a virgin before that and I told him yes, but I don't think he believed me...Is there any way I can convince him?
well... i dont think it really matters anyway...

but i would just tell him.
Be like 'seriously...i was a virgin before we had sex, you know that right?'
but not like out of the blue...
and obviously in private.
just tell him again and if he is like 'yeah...OKAY' be like 'why would you tihnk im not?' (not rudely)
and respond to whatever he says
just stay calm with him though..

Q: Hi i cant remember what the movie is called its about these teenagers who are getting ready to go to prom and one car of teenagers are drinking and the other isn't and somehow they end up getting into a car accident one girl died and the other in critical condition, and when they go to court the mother of the dead girl says for his sentencing to be to write checks to the girl he killed each week and on the memo he would put her name that way each week he would have to remember what he did. What is that movie called? Thanks a bunch!
haha it's not Susie Q
that movie the girl dies but she comes back as liek a ghost and im pretty sure the boyfriend dies too and doesnt go to jail or anything...

but do you have any idea of anyone in the movie?
any quotes? characters? actors? maybe around a year it could have been made?

Q: I'm planning on having sex for the first time very soon.I am very hairy "down there" so should I shave ? I have shaved it before but it was really irratated and pinchy and itchy. What should I do ? Also I don't wanna be hairy like that.HELP !!!
you could shave/wax but they will both probally make it irrated.
Waxing hurts a lot and makes it red and such

You can trim off a lot of it easily.
Also; some haircreamrinse stuff could work
But you have to follow the directions VERY CAREFULLY
cause you dont want it to come incontact with the actual vagina; just the hair.
I have friends that use Nair and like it alot
but look at the different stuff like Nair and around it and see what works best for you (theres different types for like senstive skin and such)

good luck!
and PLEASE be safe. Use a condom.

Q: What does it mean when a guy is completely infatuated with you & then all of a sudden cools off & doesn't even show an interest anymore but says he still likes you?
he might be playing hard to get.
I dont know the guy or the whole situation to say for sure though.

It could mean a lot of things.
Playing you hot and cold.
Because it always seems we want what we cant have.
So he is interested; you arent.
He suddenly isnt interested; which makes him more intreging (sp?!)
And saying he still likes you so you know you have a chance; means he isnt the best at it haha

I would say just talk to him (IF and only IF you like him too...if not it shouldnt matter)
Just talk to him and tell him you like him and wanna hang out or something lol

Q: 17/f Ok, so here's the thing, I am not the most fit of people but I love playing volleyball. So my main question is, I want to get fit but there is no volleyball leagues, is there anything specific I could do to prepare myself for another fantastic year of volleyball. I don't need hints on how to play or anything I know how to play, I have been playing since I was 5 what I am asking is how can I get fit for the running and what not. I want to make Var. this year. I have a trampoline in my backyard if there's anything I could do there....

p.s. if anyone answering this question lives in milwaukee, wi. and likes volleyball to let me know and we can talk. :)
you could go running.
Start off a little bit; and go further.
Run for like 15 minutes then walk 5
stuff like that
build endurance

you could also join a gym or try another sport to keep you in shape...


hope it helped and good luck next season!

Q: So I've picked names out and I've liked them forever, and I've wanted to name my kids these names.
But my family doesn't like them.

so here we go-
(boys)
Tobias
Pilot
Asha or Sasha
Lucas
&
Gavin
I think Lucas and Gavin are nice names
Asha/Sasha might be a bit girlie.
I know a guy named Sasha and he gets made fun of a lot...

if you really like Tobias you could just make it Toby...

A lot of naming kids can have a lot to do with the area too.
Like naming a kid "canyon" and living in Northern VA (where im from) the kid would probally get made fun of...
but in like California it wouldnt be a big deal...

When it all comes down to it naming a child is up to the mother and the father.

My name was sopposed to be something TOTALLY different; but no one else in my family except my mom liked it.
So my name is EMILY.
i know like 500 emily's
it's the most common girls name for not only my birthyear; but like overall.
Number 2? EMMA!

i would have much rather had the other name...so you can never really tell...

None of those names up there are overly common; or way too out there...

Honestly i would say just go with what YOU want.
Look more up on BabyNames.com if you want a free source w/o buying a book or anything...

Q: ive been fingered before many times [only by one guy]
and he ALWAYS wanted to finger me ofcourse i liked it but how does he get any pleasure out of that?
Basically what im asking is, why do guys like fingering girls so much and how can that get them horny?
Just by the feeling?
well first off to the person below me; a guy fingering a girl isnt anything like them having sex.

now im not a guy; but a guys finger isnt a pleasure zone...

guys like doing it because the girl enjoys it. they like to give them pleasure. Just like if a girl gives a guy a HJ or a BJ
we are making them feel good; which in turn makes us feel good.

Probally (and again; im not a guy) it makes them horny to hear you make noises of enjoying it and being able to feel you getting wetter and stuff...

Q: can someone explain the theme of cunning over strength to me from the odyssey?? you can find some stuff on it here http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/odyssey/themes.html but i dont exactly understand it can someone explain it more detailedly and provide exampels. thank you.
if looking at the character of Odysseus (lets call him O)

then cunning vs. strength is that he uses his mind over force

i just finished reading the book...so basically

in the case of the Kyklopes, he couldnt very well kill him; he wasnt strong enough and they would have been trapped; so he used his mind. He devised a plan; poked out his eye; and used his intellegence to ride out on the Rams (or sheep i forget)

he used his mind over his muscles in order to get out

hope it helped...

Q: Ok this question is going to be kind of deep, so here goes. When I was 14 I lose my virginity to my first love. I'm 19 now and married to another man. My first love, Tim, and I have been on and off since I was 14. No matter what we always seem to find a way back to each other. The problem is, I have been married now almost 2 years to this other man. BUT I still find myself thinking (alot) about my first, Tim. I don't know if I am in love with him still, or what. I am so confused. Everytime we bump into one another it's like that spark never left. Please help asap.
you will always have that one person you will ALWAYS love and have feelings for.

Even if you aren't like; in love with them anymore; you still love them.
It's just how it is with love.
That means that is it true...

The fact that their is a spark still just proves it was true; and you both will always care about each other.
But obviously you were in love enough to marry someone else..

Even if you move on; you dont 100% get over it. And you never forget your first love; or any love for that matter. And the fact that you lost your virginity to him makes it even stronger.


there is nothing wrong with still thinking about Tim; it gets wrong if you ACT on those thoughts.
You are married and cheating is really really bad (which i'm sure you know)

You have nothing to worry about. You still care about him and as time goes on you will think about him less and less. But it will take time...

I hope everything works out.
Ask back if you need it.
