"Mononucleosis is a respiratory virus that affects the blood cells and salivary glands (glands responsible for producing saliva). Even though anyone can get mononucleosis, most people who get the illness are between the ages of 15 and 25. Mono can keep you out of work or school for several weeks or months.

Mononucleosis, sometimes called "mono," is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family. Although this virus is one of several herpes viruses, it has nothing to do with cold sores or genital herpes, although it may trigger an outbreak if you already suffer from either strain of herpes.

Mono is classified as a herpes virus because once you've been infected, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. However, you probably won't get the symptoms of mono more than once.

You can get mononucleosis through direct contact with infected saliva. Anything as innocent as sharing a straw or an eating utensil can expose you to the virus.

Another common way to catch Mono is by kissing someone who's infected. This is why the illness is sometimes called the "kissing disease." Although a quick kiss between friends probably won't do any harm, intimate kissing with someone who's infected or who has recently had mononucleosis can put you at greater risk for getting the disease. The virus can lie dormant and be passed onto you or others without the infected person ever having symptoms of the virus. "--Thanks to LS.com

As you can see you can get mono quite easily, and it is serious. You/your boyfriend need to get the medication from your doctor and ask your doctor exactly how sever it is and how long it will be until you can share things/kiss again. IF either of you still has mono, if you can catch it by sharing a drink, I doubt you can have oral sex without catching it as well. I've heard different times of how long you have to wait after you've been "cured", though I've never heard 6 months but I've heard a couple weeks, so I'm guessing it would depend on, again, how sever either of you has it. Asking your doctor is the best thing because no one on here is a licensed doctor (that I know of). He/She would be the best person to ask most of these questions too but I think this covered most of what you asked.

I do not doubt your feelings for each other in any way. But I kind of agree with your boyfriend to not say it just yet. You know three months really isn't a long time to be dating, not that I haven't felt very, very strongly about someone after three months but, maybe you just shouldn't push it? I think in my opinion, because you asked, you should just let it be. Really if it's meant to be, which I do not doubt at all, then it will come. Why rush it, if you guys are so sure, you know? And now I really don't want you to take this as being mean okay, because I know with computers you can't hear how I'm saying any of this but I swear it's not in any way negative or mean or any other word that means the same thing. I'm just trying to give you a different outlook on it from an outsiders perspective, I really do hope I didn't offend you or upset you in anyway, and either way, good luck and I hope you do get the "I love you" from him you’re looking for someday. =)

Okay well, here’s the thing, you have to be on the pill for about 3 months for it to actually be COMPLETELY in your system, and then be off it 3 months for it to be COMPLETELY out of your system (depending on what type you were on), so if you were bleeding while taking the pill, that was normal and that was supposed to happen. If you stopped and then two days later had sex and what not like you already said, then there is always that possibility. But look, yes it CAN only take ONE time, BUT a guy can fully cum inside a girl and she still won't get pregnant. NOT that I am encouraging that by any means, but I'm just saying it just doesn’t ALWAYS happen when the guy does that.

You bleeding off and on is because you just shocked the heck out of your body by going on the pill then going off it, so, don't even worry about that.

As far as you being pregnant, I have no clue because EVERY person’s body is totally different. I would just chill for the weekend, go to Planned Parenthood during the week if it'll make you feel better I know sometimes it's hard to wait, and then see what happens from there, they can take a look if he did do anything inside that would make you bleed and they would know better than I would about the pill stuff that you were taking.

I apologize I can't help further but like I said, it could be absolutely nothing, or it could be something. But, even girls that are pregnant can still have their period like the first month, my friends sister did which is why she didn't even know she was pregnant till like 2 months after.

Anyway, sorry if I didn't give you the answer you were looking for, if you need anything else I can try to research stuff if I need be to help you more. But either way good luck!

You know, I honestly can say that I know where you are coming from. Relationships are weird, confusing, and hard work. I understand why you'd want another person’s input on this, should I stay or should I go moment... From my outlook on this, it'd be better to go. I know you love him, care about him, he can be so sweet he has done so much for you, ect. I get that, I honestly and truly do you have no idea. BUT if he has been your only relationship, then you have no idea what else is out there that you may like. Now, I'm not saying go out right crazy or sleep with guys, no. I'm saying, drop this guy who seems so hot and cold and make time for you. If, IF another guy comes along, get to know him, you'd be surprised that maybe there is someone else out there way better FOR YOU than this guy now. Not that the guy your with isn't great in his own way, but my theory is, EVERYONE is a great person, but NOT everyone is great for everyone else. What I mean is, your an awesome person, he is an awesome person, but maybe you’re not great together like you both once were. Or, maybe you two are, I don't know, but, if it's meant to be it will be. Things happen for a reason and part of living life is going through new things and experiences to grow. I'm not being mean so I sincerely apologize if it comes off that way, that's not my intention. Also, I'm not trying to preach over here, I just think you’re sixteen and awesome so live your life to the fullest, and if the fullest is with this guy that stick with it, and if it's not being with him anymore because the ship has sailed but will forever be in your heart, then that's what you should do. For me, it was like a weight being lifted off of my shoulders, even if I missed him like crazy sometimes because he was all I knew; it was an odd combination of feelings. Anyway either way you go and whichever you choose good luck! =)

Guys are kind of funny... Girls and guys think so differently it's hard to tell, and everyone is their own individual person it's difficult to pin point someone you don't know.

From what it seems like to me, from things I myself have gone through with guys, he just seems like he enjoys venting to you. From my end of it, again, (I am an outsider only reading what you wrote so I could be way off) it sounds like he just feels he can trust you, to tell you these things. I've had tons of guy friends that did the exact same thing, and it's not that they liked me or that they were trying to get with me, they just felt like they could tell me things that they couldn't talk to their girlfriend about because it was sometimes about her and they couldn't tell their guys friends about because they wanted a girls perspective or they would give him crap for sounding so "girly". Guys need to vent too, and as much as the sterotype says women PMS, complain, hold grudges, ect... Guys CAN be even worse. If he says he sees you as a sister he problem does mean, he sees you like a sister...

If he is annoying you just try to avoid the convos a little more, it's on the internet so it should be easier than if you lived near him, make them short a sweet. If you may have feelings for him, try to talk to him about it and tell him your a little unsure of his intentions because of the talks you both have. IF neither of those is correct then just enjoy being a friend he feels he can count on.

Which ever it is, I hope I could help and am not too far off on this, and either way things go, good luck! =)

Personally, I think what your doing now is fine. Of course it's hard for you, but why in the world is he pushing to date if he is LEAVING? Is he just trying to cause problems? Because seriously, in what way would you both NOT get hurt from that. Take it froms someone older (not in a talking down to you sort of way in an advice because you asked sort of way), there are going to be other guys, you are completely right in what you've said about too young and him not being there for much longer. Of course it's hard, life can be that way sometimes. Stick to your guns so to speak and don't cave. Tell this guy the truth. "I really like you, care about you, and wish I could be with you, but I am still not ready for a real relationship let alone a long distance one, so why do you feel it is so important all of a sudden to date?" Hang in there, you've got the right idea, but then again, this is just my opinion. Look, whatever advice you decided to take or what you choose to do, good luck. Also, if it's meant to be, it'll be, keep that in mind as well.

Alright, I'm a psychology major and one of the first things that we learn in general psychology is about dreams. There are a ton of people that have their own theory of what dreams mean or what they are, but sometimes a dream is just a dream. Your mind never stops working unlike your body, so even when your body is not going and is resting, your brain does not. Some people think dreams bring deja vu, but it may just be as simple as your brain working things out from your everyday life. Often when people dream it's te brains way of relieving stress. If you are a sigmund freud believer, then it's your subconsious mind, but I'm not a huge fan of some of his ideas. I really think that maybe there is just some thing going on either consciously or subconsciously that your mind is using something that means a lot to you in your dreams. I wouldn't take anything completely to heart though. Dreams can get very scary sometimes or just out right annoying if the same one happens more than once. You just need to remind your self that it is just a dream and that is not how you really feel. If it is stopping you from getting a good night sleep then try to do some yoga, or just do some meditation right before bed. IF none of that helps, try to figure out what has possibly changed since you've started dating this guy and try to get to the root of the stress or whatever it is that is making your brain work in over drive while you sleep. Anyway, I hope this helped a little bit and if not I apologize and good luck to you either way.

Okay well, this may sound a bit silly but, I sort of have been in your shoes before.

When people scare you, even if there isn't a real reason to an outsider, to you it's very valid, just like it was reasonable for me to be scared of the person I delt with.

Sometimes, people are just like that, I don't know why, but they are. One thing you could maybe do is just explain to her that you have a hard time sleeping at someone elses house and for someone to sleep at yours.

IF you have been staying over another persons house, this won't work as well if she knows that. BUT if she isn't aware of whos house you've been at or not, just tell her that the reason you haven't stayed the night at her house and the reason she hasn't stayed at yours, is because you have a little phobia.

I know it's not nice to lie, but SOMETIMES when people scare you and you feel threatened, telling the truth doens't work, it makes them even more upset, and the feeling of being in danger in anyway, even if it's just verbal, or emotional never feels good.

Just sit her down and say "look I've realized you've been getting a little offended lately that we don't stay the night at each others house, but the reason why, is because for some reason it just makes me feel uncomfortable. I like sleeping in my own bed alone and I don't feel comfortable being at someone elses house" and IF you have been at someone elses house just say "well, I went there so I didn't hurt their feelings but, we're supposed to be best friends and I thought if I told you that you would understand."

That's what I had to do, but I really didn't feel comfortable going to this girls house, so I wasn't lying, and if she scares you then, this wouldn't be a lie either...

I don't know that's just what worked for me and what I got from what you wrote, if I have it all wrong I apologize and either way I hope everything works out for you, and good luck.

Personally, I've been in your shoes. I think it'd be a mistake. First of all he cheated on you. Which the guy I'm like that with did the same thing to me. Second, he has a g/f, and the one he cheated on you with to boot. I'm sure your feelings for him mean something, and I'm not trying to bash that down, because I seriously feel the EXACT same way about my ex. BUT I think the best thing you could do FOR YOURSELF, is to just stay away from him for a while. Of course it's going to be hard, but you've been there done that girl, and he's already moved on, now you should for your own worth. It's okay to be friends, AFTER those feelings have gone away. The memory of him will always be with you, but there is a reason that he is an ex. He is a part of your past, and there is a reason for that. It means you have a better futur waiting for you. My opinion, being in your shoes before, is to stop talking to him for a little bit AND it does NOT have to be a bad ending. You can talk to him about it, just tell him you think you need some time to come into your own, or maybe something elss corny, if you guys still talk now. You don't have to be mean, or just drop off the face of the earth, you CAN explain things to him. And, if he is a good guy, he SHOULD be understanding, and want whats best for you. You two can ALWAYS be friends later on if he's a good guy too... That's just my suggestion, I could have it all wrong, but, good luck either way. =)

I can understand why you would be scared, but you really should go see your doctor ASAP. ESPECIALLY if you do have a tumor. I honestly don't think anyone here could give you the medical advice you really need. Being scared is okay, but you need to take care of yourself. Doctors are supposed to at least help with things if not make it go away. If you have mono, or if it has anything to do with your tumor, you need, not should, NEED to see a doctor or go to the hospital. Mono can get very bad. Also, IF all of this is just a flu/cold, it's obviously not getting better so, what ever you have won't just go away on it's own. I'm sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but it's the truth... Good luck, I really hope you'll be okay.

Me personally I would talk to his Mom. I would be like "look I found out that he was cheating on me but I really appreciate what you've done for me, and I would still like to live here" but you shouldn't stay with him. I'm not trying to be mean but you don't deserve to be treated that way and you can get mad at me but he can't think it's alright to be such a jerk to you. NO ONE deserves to be lied to or cheated on. I don't think you have to date this guy for his Mom to follow through, and if you do that's stupid and immature of his mother. She should know things happen and SOMETIMES relationships don't last. Also if she's going to be mean about it then she could be even worse about other things too so I would try to get out of it and find a better place. My sister is a social worker. I would talk to someone you feel comfortable with to give them your info so they can find you a better place with a secure situation.... Good luck, I really hope you end up okay...

I think you might be talking about kaci brown unbelievable-- the part i think ur talkin about doenst happen until like 1:30 in the video and the play part is at like the very end which is like 3 min in... heres a link of the song/person i think ur talkin about. if its not im sorry, good luck. =)

I'm sorry to say but, his pupils have nothing to do with his feelings for you.

There maybe something out there that says that, but growing up with guys, and having a lot of relationships, it has nothing to do with his feelings. If a guy really likes you, he will tell you. He will call you everyday, find ways to talk to you about anything, always want to be around you, e-mail/call/text... Whatever he can do, to be around you and spend time with you. Just hang out with him more or see what happens with him but, don't assume his feelings because of his eyes. =)

Good luck either way you go.

Okay well, coming from an 18 yo to a 13, you may not like my answer. BUT it is NOT mean in anyway just I've been there done that so I'm just going to tell you anyways, think of it as a big sister advice....

You are 13 and what your feeling is completely acceptable and I am NOT bashing it down in ANY way, so please understand that, BUT, you are going to feel differently about every guy that comes your way... This guy, kinda sounds like a loser. If your cousin says he is going to tell people and laugh or make fun of you, then he probably isn't someone you want anyway. Guys and girls think VERY differently, remember that, it'll come in handy as you get older.

If this guy already likes someone else and your own family member is telling you he'd do something that lame. Find someone else girl, find a guy that'll already be in awe of you that you wont have to wonder if he likes you or not.

If a guy likes you, he'll tell you. Trust me, when a guy wants to be with a girl, he will find a way to tell her. Guys aren't as shy as girls think a lot of the time, it's just guys don't know how to be honest and tell a girl they don't feel the same way most of the time, but you'll see that more too.....

I'm not trying to treat you like a little kid by the way, I'm sure you know most of this but, you asked for adivce and that's what I'm doing...

So, over all, my point is... Don't waste your time on this guy, and it's okay to have the feelings you are now, but trust me, you have a lot more of those feelings and others to come. Good luck no matter what you decide.

I know this was already answered but, I just wanted to suggest maybe going to a community college. First because it's cheaper. Second you can change your major as much as you want until you find what you really want to do. Third, if you realize what you really want and it isn't school, community college is also easier to get out of. I've heard plenty of adults tell me, when I first started college, that school is def. not for everyone. If it isn't for you, so what. It doens't make you any more or less of a person. I know a ton of successful people that didn't go to college. I encouage school, but if it's not what you want, then it's not what you want. Simple as that. Try the community college thing, or don't which ever, and don't worry about it (not saying you are just saying it's not worth it). Whatever happens, happens and I'm sure you'll realize where your nitch is. Good luck either way you go.

I know someone already answered this question but, I personally think, from reading this, that you and B should just be together. You seem to want that and from what you are saying so does he. Don't run from it. You only live once, and yes being a good person is important, I think, but you cannot please everyone. Also, if you tell A, which I agree with the last person you should tell the truth because it'd be better if A heard it from you not someone else, A should be happy for you. He shouldn't be keeping you from happiness in anyway. If he asked you to wait for him that's wrong. If you two broke up and he is over seas, and there is no commitment anymore, then you should move on with your life. If it happens to be that it's with B, then go for it! Everything happens for a reason, and you should do what is best for you and what makes you happy... That's just my thoughts on it though, I may have it wrong because I don't know you. Good luck, either way you choose.

In my opinion I would possibly also try to find another job while you are waiting JUST incase. Jobs are hard to get these days for a lot of people, which you seem to know and understand, so it may not be in your old bosses budget right now if there are already so many. I don't know you or the type of place you live in. I live in a pretty big city so other work isn't hard where I am at. Try to possibly look around for other alternatives just incase your old boss doesn't call you back. Who know, if you can find something else, you may even get more money than you had originally hoped for going back to the old job. It's just that nothing bad would come from looking which is why I suggest that. Good luck with everything either way you go.

I know this question has already been answered and the person that already answered is very right.

I just also wanted to add in and let you know that if you can drive, and if you have something called Planned Parenthood near you or a walk in clinic, it is actually free for a checkup and confidential.

They are not allowed to tell your Mom or Dad; even if you were as young as 15.

My best friend has been on it since she was 15 because that's when she wanted to lose her virginity so I know it is real.

I am not just not 100% sure how it is in every state. You can check here http://www.contracept.org/minorsaccess.php and PlannedParenthood.com if u Google it you’ll find it.

I found a bunch and I didn’t want to list all of them for you and over load ya but you’ll find them as well.

If you don’t have a ride or the money though, what the other person said is also very true and should work out for you.

I just wanted you to know about the Planned Parenthood because a lot of my friends that were not able to talk to their parents loved that place. They could always go there and ask questions, get checkups, birth control, condoms, and everything without their parents or anyone else knowing. It made them feel like they had a place to go.

You do have to pay for it, but the sites should tell you how much, and if you have a part time job or a way to get money for it, it may work out for you. It was a just in case though good luck! =)

Okay, this question really hit home for me. I was home schooled from 4th grade all the way through high school... And I know you really don't want to hear this, but please don't rush it!

Okay look, the reason I'm telling you this is for a GOOD reason.

I was your age and I wanted a boyfriend SO bad, all my friends had one; I wondered what on earth was wrong with me. I thought I must have not been so good socially, or not pretty enough or SOMETHING. Well, I ended up making it my mission almost to get a boyfriend. I was so determined to have one... But you know what... It really wasn't worth it.

Don't get me wrong, being in ‘like’ with someone and having a crush and feeling like you're madly in love, is loads of fun, and girls eat that stuff up. But please, just don't worry about it.

I ended up attracting really bad guys because I wanted a boyfriend so badly, I was cheated on almost every time and ended up with a lot of drama, because I didn't know any better, I had no idea what people in public school were really like.

Honestly, just be happy. Being a strong independent girl, is so much sexier and more attractive than some needy girl that is longing for a boyfriend, (not that you are, that's how I USED to be so I know the difference and what gets better results.)

Just take your time. Girl TRUST me, I have been there, PLEASE believe me, I KNOW! I do, I do... But you WILL have a boyfriend. I promise you, you will someday. I also give you my word you will NOT be lonely forever. You just enjoy yourself and all of your friends and being happy with you, because THAT is what is going to attract a GOOD guy that you're going to want to be with girl.

I know that going crazy feeling, geez, I feel like I'm back in middle school after reading that...

Really, I'm so sorry for sounding like a Mom hahaha, just know this will not be forever ok? I promise. AND you are definitely NOT alone on any of that.

Jill didn't know the killer. She looked more shocked, I think, because if you wait till the end they show his face and you see it when they take him away in the cop car and his face is pretty messed up, he has a huge scar on his face somewhere, so it was more just the acting and the fact that his face was kind of, not normal looking... Or if you’re talking about a different part than the one I am thinking of, she looks shocked that the call is inside the house but no one knew the killer. That was the huge conspiracy is that this man would somehow get into these houses unknown and stay in there, unseen and unheard, then make the phone calls inside the house to the baby sitters… At least I'm pretty sure that's true. I'm not sure what version you’re talking about. If you're talking about the one that was the most recent with Camilla Belle (2006) then no she doesn’t know the killer, I've seen it at least a hundred times, I have a friend that is obsessed with it lol. The other version I've never seen though so I don't know how different they are from each other. Hope I could help a little. Sorry if it’s not accurate, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know him.

Hey! =) I really love my life and the things and people in it. I love fashion, make-up, going out, dancing, teaching dance, and being with my friends and family. I feel very blessed for the things I have. It took me a while to get to this point though and I know that growing up, and even people my age, you need advice about certain things every now and then. I've always had people give me advice about things and I've been able to use their advice through my own experience and mistakes and come up with some of my own things. And now I'm the one always helping my friends out. I always have new ideas that I love to share. And well, I can't promise I'll always be able to help or give you the answer you're looking for but, I'll definitely do my best. =)


Also, whether you ask me a question in my inbox or I answer one alone I normally ALWAYS add in my experiences because for me, I like to know when people can relate and aren't just guessing, it's easier when someone has actually been through it. And I'm not going to do any favors by lying, so I am ALWAYS going to be honest. But keep in mind just becasue of my experience and my honesty does not mean I am always right and I understand that. Feedback is appreciated to know what I can work on with certain answers, not demanded.
