When a got a sew in weave for the first time, it was really itchy all of the time, especially when I went to sleep and wrapped it. I put oil and stuff in my hair all the ime. I even washed it, but it was still itchy and dry. I finally couldn't take it, so I took the weave out and my hair was really dry and I noticed my hair was shorter. Why was my hair shorter? How can I make my hair grow?

GRease it wash it get a routine weave is not supposed to make your hair grow you are supposed to take care of it to make it grow everybodies hair is different so what works for one person may not work for you but wrap it up at night don't sleep on it if you're black, grease the scalp, and try to stay away from damaging activities such as too much heat, processing, and stress

so there is this guy i just started to get to know because of track, everything was great and it seemed like he was feeling me, we would look at each other all the time, and just stare at each other and smile or just look at each other. but you know when good things happen so bad just has to make it go real bad, thats so how it seems to be for me. well he is a freshman so you know he is kind of immature. well one day he was throwing water and talking alot of mess. i guess he was just in the mood,because usually he is just chilled and quiet but when he is in the mood he is either loud and obnoxious or nice and talktive. but it made me really mad and so threw a baton at him and it went really fast and him hit really hard lol. and everybody around started laughing. well i was just mad at him at the time and not mad at him anymore. i apologized but i dont know if that helped. i want things to be the same but i dont know if it will. just of that one incident. well what do you think

I do not know you did apologize maybe he thinks that you are inconsiderate and insensitive since you embarrased him in front og every one. Are you this way rethink that because this can make all relationships difficult and if you are that may not be the kind of person he would like to be around.
But, I do not know how you are so if you are not just keep being yourself, do not be over zealous but with guys it is best if oyu let them lead in situations where you are not sure of there feelings, so if itis meant to be it will be.

This guy and I just started going out. We go to the same school so I get to see him every day, but on weekends he's always with his friends. The thing is, I don't really want to hang out with them. I've only met a couple of them and I didn't like them very much...plus I've heard from him that they like getting high(not necessarily him) and I'm really not into that. How am I going to tell him that I don't want to go places when it's him *and* his friends? I mean I could give it a try but if I don't feel comfortable I won't know how to tell him that, since, you know, he likes them a lot(duh). I don't want to sound selfish as though I'm like "yeah, you can see your friends as much as you want but I won't be coming, just tell me when you want to do something with only the two of us." Any advice? Thanks!

I do not know what to say abouthis friends but i just want to warn you that he may be doing drugs too and if you donot want to do them do not let him talk you into it just to be with him.

ok in this highschool im goin to its a REALLY bad school lol its ghetto..and yea anyways im not pretty or anything im over weight and yea u get the point but my question is how do i get more boys as friends? thanks! ( im really shy by the way )

All I can say is be yourself, I know that sounds cliche' but it is the best way, that is if you are a reasonable, down to earth person. Guys have their flaws but a mature guy appreciates some one who "keeps it real", has respect for others, and have respect for themselves.
So when they get to know you they will have more respect for you and grow to like you if you are a cool person to know yourself, get more invovled in school get on the academic challenge team or something whatever you have which you can have interaction with others where you do not have to focus on class work and you have the freedom to socialize. "Do Not BEG or Be NEEDY if a guy acts too "stank" to talk to you than **** him and keep it moving; know that no matter what you look like you are just as good as any body else; you do not live off of their likes, and you do not have to kiss anybodies a##.

I befriended a new girl at my school and have regretted it ever since. At first she was kind of shy and seemed nice, and I didn't listen to my friends who warned me that she would get annoying at one point or another. Now, its come to the point that I dread every second I have to be near her! I have gym with her, whenever I try to go talk to my other friends she literally grabs my arm and DRAGS me away! She'll wait for me outside my class in the middle of the hallway smiling, with everyone trying to go around her. She separates me from my other friends and literally CROSSES HER ARMS and SULKS if I so much as say two words to anyone else! She also has this superiority about her, like she thinks everyone WANTS to be her friend when the truth is that people are starting to jeer at me just for standing next to her. I don't want to be mean, but every moment I spend talking to her (ex- about her bloody tooth being pulled and how she couldn't spit or blood would come out) is TORCHURE! She goes up to me in the hallway and slaps me as I walk by or from behind (hard) just to say hi in her annoying, high pitched voice. I told her during gym one day I didn’t like the ‘touching’ thing. She started sulking and started RUNNING away from me, without saying another word! She’s only talking to me cause I'm the only one who hasn't shoved her away, and we have almost nothing in common. How do I get her to leave me alone w/o making her depressed?

Please, this has been going on for months and every day its getting worse! I don’t know what to do! Please, tell me what you think I should say to her or do to get her to leave me alone without completely hurting her, I’m the closest thing she has to a friend (which is pretty pathetic), and she CANNOT take a hint. I’m in 10th grade, please help!!!

U should not just give up on her like that at least talk to her and give her the opurtunity to change; get her in a private place and tell her about her behavior and see if she can change her behavior; then if she can't you tried to be a good friend at least.

so two nights ago, i had sex. i actually had my period but i noticed it was kind of gone so i just had sex anyway. the condom didnt break cause like he held it up after and nothing came out..but for some reason im just really nervous. well anyways, i got my period last wednesday. usually my period lasts about a week..well okay so i got my period back the morning after i had sex. but today, its just brown discharge..that doesnt mean im pregnant right? im hoping maybe its just because its the light days of my period since i got it on wednesday..but i dont know.

please help

honestly, no one can be sure because your period can still come on after you are preganat or not so the onyl way to be 100% positive would be to g et yourself checked out, do a home preganancy test if you are suspicious.

18/F
Long question, sorry.

I'm a freshman in college and struggled at first with meeting people when I first moved in, despite the fact that my roommate and I were very outgoing people in high school. A couple of months in, we began hanging out with our RA, Ally, because she knew everyone from my high school. Ally introduced us to her friends (also RAs) Joey and Jake. She also told me that she had a huge crush on Jake. Unable to help my feelings, I developed a strong crush on Jake over the past couple of months as well. At first, I layed low and tried not to get in the way for the sake of my friendship with Ally. However, Jake made it clear that he had no feelings for her whatsoever, and Ally started backing off as well. Although I didn't move in right away, I felt that since he had made it clear to Ally they were just friends, it was okay for me to open up a little more with him (concerning flirtyness).

Jake and I would always hang out...I would end up falling asleep on his futon due to the long hours we would spend just hanging out. We did nothing physical and didn't do any hardcore flirting. My roommate and some other friends also began to think he had a crush for me too. One day, when i was watching a TV show with Joey and Jake in Jake's room, he asked me to cuddle with him. First off, this is strange because he NEVER asks girls to cuddle with him. We cuddled all night, had tickle fights, and he randomly kissed my hand because he "hurt my feelings" (again, weird, because he never physically does things like that to girls). The next morning he was super adorable, we went to lunch together and he put his arm around me and was just really cute.

However, later that night he started acting strange towards me, and during the following week as well. It was hard talking to him and he hardly gave me any physical contact. It was just awkward being around him. I ended up spilling my heart to Joey about my feelings for Jake. Even though they are best friends, Joey still watches out for me. His best advice was for me to tell Jake how I feel. I just don't know how and when to do it...

I hung out with Jake again last night, with our friend Anthony. Jake ended up cuddling/falling asleep with me on the futon, despite the fact that he could have slept in his bed...he never EVER sleeps on his futon. I have not once ever seen him give up his bed for a futon. Then he kept mentioning a girl he "could" date, and I got jealous. He told me that he wouldn't date her because she's still in high school, and that he needed to find a good college girl. I said I needed to find a good college guy. Anthony said, "you two are laying right next to each other...", to which Jake responded (While cuddling) "oh but we're brother and sister..."

Everyone thinks he likes me but he's trying to convince himself otherwise. I don't know if he does, and I don't know if I should tell him how I feel or wait it out. And if I do talk to him, what would be said and how would I bring it up? Help with this situation please!

He could or could not seriously like you the main issue to me is not how he feels but how you feel. Becuase, if he is getting touchy feely and showing no signs of wanting a real serious committed relationsip he could just be trying to get sex and then move on. So, maybe you should directly tell him how you feel if you are not an old fashioned girl, and don't mind hearing the truth if the answer is not want you want to hear, or don't mind being lied to or patronized for a guy to get what he wants if he is one of those types. But, when you do just pay close attention and know how to read betweent the lines for signs of lies, and understand his true intentions; just do not give anything away to any one who is not serious about you.

Maybe you possibly have "I want what I can't have syndrome" but that is okay becasue you have all of your life you're young you will meet plenty of guys to fall i love with. I wouldn't advise you to put yourself out there to get into a bad situation becasue the whole reason for the dimise of your relationship was on him. I'd try to be happy with this new guy at least try whole heartedly and if it doesn't work then express your feelings to old home boy.

sometimes people say im annoying when i dont want to be.. how can i become less annoying? i dunno.. i mean how do i explain it. some days i just feel like talking alot and i talk about the randomest stuff ever, and some of my friends find it funny, and others find it weirdly funny. like.. what is Normal then? i guess i need to learn to stop saying the first thing that comes to my head too.. and i dont want to be known as an annoying person in conversations and stuff. so generally what can i do? :( 13/f

14/f so ive never kissed a guy but i wanna make out with someone without every one knowing. i know this sounds shallow but please just tell me. THANKS

I fyou have a big issue about some one knowing about it then that must mean you don't have a specific guy in mind because if he was your guy it wouldnt be abig deal but you can not make out with just any random guy becasue that makes you a whore so the best thing for you to do is just wait until the righ tguy comes along. Then that wont be an issue

I'll try and make a long story ,short.
Theres this boy, we kinda hooked up and other stuff [if ya know what i mean] over the summer and he knew i liked him and i think he liked me.
Well,people found out about our hookup and we kinda stopped talking and just didnt act the same around eachother ,i still like him but he has a girlfriend.Now at my school,alot of the guys act like they dont like me because im never mean to them and i let them say whatever they want and so alot of people make alot of jokes about me.
His best friend told me that Josh[the boy i like]
really used to like me and says he doesnt like me anymore but he still talks about me all the time and his best friend thinks he still likes me but just says he doesnt because he has a girlfriend.[his bestfriends name is Jimmy]
Jimmy told me also that he just doesnt talk to me because all the others dont and he just wants to fit it and try to be cool,so he only messes with me if he gets the chance,or he'll make a little remark here and there but Jimmy said thats his way of saying he likes me.
I guess Jimmy wasnt supposed to tell me that or he was lying because Josh came up to me and said something about how Jimmy told me all that stuff and he said " did jimmy tell you that i liked you and stuff?" and i acted dumb [because he has a girlfriend] and i said " um no?" and then Josh said "good ,because that would be gross"
then that ended that and usually Josh would make a remark to me about something or say something to me and the last few days ,he hasn't.
Now I dont know whether to trust his best friend or to believe Josh himself, but Josh tends to be a liar and he's always trying to act cool and be like everyone else and Jimmy isnt like that ,and thats his best best friend and Jimmy is one guy who doesnt make fun of me,and he's not known to lie and on top of that ,Jimmy didnt know I used to like Josh until I told him , so he couldnt have been making that up to see if I admitted something.And Jimmy would tell me stuff that I told Josh, like how we used to hangout and stuff.
So I need help, I dont know what to believe and I'm really scared to talk to Josh because I don't know how he'll react to it and he'll think im really weird.
And I know your going to say "forget josh,hes immature" but i really like him and all the guys are like that and i know he'll mature.
What should i do?
15/California

For get about him you can do better. Find a mor emature guy who isn't a following, liar because soemtimes that doesn't mature as quickly and as fast as we'd like it to.

ok so my sister is goin out with this guy but shes denying it..i think shes embarresed or something but its really obvious.i know she is so dont tell me mabye shes not..ok the thing is he never actually said there going out to me.so its kinda like i dont know. but ok i like him alot...is that bad?? i mean like since there supposivly not going out?

Yes it is bad. Not that you are a bad person because you could have liked the guy before you knew your sister was going out with him I can't judge becasue I don't know the entire story but the point is you have to stop liking him now. That Jerry Springer stuff is disgusting, you don't want to loose your sister over some guy.

Okay, so at the beginning of the year, I liked this guy. He was always checking me out and such and I knew it. So we both liked each other and he'd start sitting closer to me in class, then I would get closer to him until he moved to the other side of the room with his friends. About 5 or 6 months later he got a girlfriend. I didn't really care because I was totally over him. The day she asked him out I caught him staring at me-AGAIN! But after that there was hardly any eye-contact what-so-ever that I noticed. Until about a few weeks ago. He was putting on his sweatshirt and watched me across the hall, and he checked me out. (While he has a girlfriend) I walked by him in the hall while he was at his locker- and caught him staring. (And... they're still going out) Then he caught me staring in home-room. But that was only once. Then the next day in french class, we were walking in the hall together and he actually talked to me. Normally when I drop things, he'll be like "smooth..." sarcastically and not even spare a passing glance. Is that teasing? Is switching from nasty to nice his way of getting over me? Anyways, when he was talking to me he's like "Why'd she shut the door on us? What's wrong with her?" in a really funny way because we were late for class and neither of us liked the teacher very much. So anyways, we both take different buses and when I got off mine, I walked past his on the way home while his was driving by and you probably know what happens next. I caught him staring-- AGAIN!!! Now, don't get me wrong. I actually like it when he stares, 'cause he's a hot, funny guy, and I like the attention. But he's got a girlfriend. Does he like me? Because I'm 100% that he does at this point. But then I saw his AIM profile and on it, it said "(His girlfriend's name), I know we've been through some tough times but we're back and better than ever. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met and you're so funny. Love ya lots."
They've gone to the movies while he's been giving me attention at the same time too. I'm not saying he has cheating potential or anything... I just want to know if there's a possibility he might like me back.
Sorry it was so long.
Thanks for reading it and for answering!
Have a nice day!

Yes it is possible that he is just a starer becasue even if he does like you he doesn't like you enough for you to carry baout it becasue he is still with this girl.

You should understand thatI was saying he doesn't want you and that is the main point i was trying to make honey

Can you understand that

P.S No Offense

okay.. im so pasinate about god and im 14. I love talking about him and i want to live a god centered life. I go to church but everyone in my youth group goes to have fun with everyone and flirt with eachother which is annoying because none of them like having serious convos about god and make christians look bad. I want to find a good group of chrstians to talk to about jsut everything and kinda like have them as a support group to encourage me to continue living for god. but i feel so lonely all the time like no one really wants to live for god at this kind of age. my mom tells me i have a old soul so it will be hard to find friends that are intrested in that kind of stuff. but it really sucks.. how do you think i could find some people to just fellowship with... and actrually live the christian life and spread my faith with people who actrually care to answer those questions!

Annoy the comments of the person below becasue this sends the wrong message. It is find to believe inGod and be passionate about him as long as you are not judging nayone else and forcing your beliefs on them. But you shouldn't be expirimenting with things you know are wrong in the first place like the user below said. If you already know what you feel is morally wrong than live your live within those means. Now you are young and although I feel you have your mind made up you should not completly close your mind off from the other religions and aspecrs fo the world becasue you will meet many people in life who may not believe what you believe and you have to be respectful to them as well. But you have to understand that God will send the right friends into your life when the time comes he knows what you are going through and as long as you live right and respect him he will guide you in the direction of the company you want to keep. You may have already founf it because even though people don't behave the way you want them to behave or believe what you want them to believe that does not mean you still can't be friends try to get closer to yourt friends by talking of general things that interest them and maybe you as well and then things will work out as long as you have love and respect in your heart.

does a nipple in the stage of puberty look different than a nipple at fully developed stage?


basicly do puffy sore nipples go away? (adult women) did you have them as a teen,and did they disapear?

16/f

btw i am breast healthy, and yes i am still developing, but i was just wondering if nipples change

i dont know anout that i mean due to weatehr change my nipples look like nipples becaause they are harder but i have puffy nipples on any regular occasion and thta is not necesarrily a bad things many guys like big nipples so no biggy it is not weird puffy nipples are puffy nipples that can become hard and look just as normal as any other set of nipples.

so, there is a guy in my class, and his name is Michael. i REALLY like him! he ism cute and REALLY funny and he is the nicest guy in the class. but i am sad because i know that he will probably neveer like me. i know this because i can tell he likes talisha (my friend). he alsways talks to her and hardly ever me. i dnt care that he talks to her, i just wish he would talk ot me sometimes. i talk to him alot and he talks to me bak but he wouldnt start a conversation. i only met him last here and he knows talisha from ages ago.
PLEAE ANSWER MY QUESTION:
how can i get him to like me more?

yes that is the trusth what a said but it is no big deal there are plenty more fish in the sea. Just don't speak to him anymore is what i would do maybe not be cold and nasty but not putting yourself out there either like you need someones validation or recognition. If he doesn't want to talk to you that is okay just let it go he is no better than you are and his recognition should not be the highlight of your day.

Is there anyway someone can get pregnant while on birth control? How effective is it against pregnancy? And, if you are having sex with a partner you have had over a year, and you know neither of you two have any diseases, should you still use a condom? Why or why not?

yes you can still get pregnanat while on birth control even though it is 98 or 99 perecent effective because that little bit of possibility is still there. Yes you should still use condomns because even husband and wife catch aids from each other soemtimes because you can not trust someone one hundred percent especially not soe horny little teenager. So use condomns, birthcontrol, get papsmears, and you and your partner both get full examinations for all std's not just hiv.

okay,i need help on makeing friends..kind of. im already in a "group" but, i don't think im much like them. there all really close and then im just there. its like i dont exist sometimes. its just because,im kind of quiet. and im not exactly like, them. but i'm still with them,some how. i mean,i have NO sense of humor,and there very humorous. how do i make things funnier? how can i speak up? and, if you must label us, we would be the random,skater,whatever, group. i just,have no close friends what so ever. and i dont know how to make them! this has been going on for probably 2 years. and i'm starting to get really sad that no one cares that much for me. how do i make them care for me more? thanks so much,i really need help on this one. oh and i dont remember things,i suck at it. also,i find myself so lost,i dont know how that might help,but yeah.

I know exactly how you feel this year was my first year in college and first i met a girl that really liked me and i really liked her and she even introduiced me to her friends and we spent some time together but i just didn't really fit in so even though i didn't cut myself odd from her and them because they were friends and associates to me i still had to find a place where i felt more comfortable then i found the friends i have now which happened because we clicked in a way and that is because even though i am not a big talker and joker i talked at pace because i asked questions about them and allowed them to talk about themselves and acted interested and entertained some of their interest even though i didin't really change myself for them some times some parts of you need to grow and when i was with them the things i saw i needed to work on that would make me come out of my shell and more social i did change without changing my identity for example when i was a round my best friend catherine and her friends they would be talking and laughing and i wouldn't be saying anything even one night they went to a party and she was like well we are going with shelley and i was like why do we have to go out with shelley what i realized was she was trying to include me and not exclude me and that she wasn't trying to leave me out or ignore me i just had to open my mouth and jump in when it is appropiate you have to make yourself known and make a personality so you can be liked and accepted as a close friend and person. But, as far as friends everything will work out in time the more you learn about life nad yourself the happier you'll be with other people and your relationships.
