My Ex and I fight ALLLL the time, even though we've been apart for a year now. While we were dating he treated me horribly... he would yell and curse me out, and force me into sexual stuff, like physically force. and we also fought all the time. Now, it's gotten to be just stupid. He only causes drama for me and I can't stand it... I try to avoid hanging out with him or texting him or any of that stuff. But even when I do that he still manages to cause problems. His current girlfriend has been spreading all kinds of stuff about me like that I offered to hook up with him and stuff a week ago when I absoultely did not... She's angry because he keeps calling her my name... and she thinks he's like cheating on her with me. And we don't even talk to eachother! Except for in studyhall. I have this dumb teacher that will not let me switch seats with anyone (I'm assigned next to a seat with my ex) even though the teacher is like never in the room! And since school is almost over, it's too late to switch classes. Last week in class my ex was trying to get me to argue with him cause he loves to start fights and I wasn't responding to him and he slapped me... the teacher wasn't around and I was too scared to say anything when he came back in. He didn't hit me incredibly hard but it really hurt and it was across the face. My boyfriend now wants to beat the shit of this kid... he has literally done nothing but cause problems for me. And it's almost summber so it would do no good to talk to the school because I know he's still going to be a problem this summer. Can anybody give me any advice??? (link)
If you're a minor, you need to involve your parents and school authorities in this matter immediately. This is NOT something that is acceptable!

If you are an adult, you need to involve the police immediately. Rape and assault are serious crimes, and by letting it go unanswered.. you're showing him that it's acceptable to do this when it most certainly isn't.

Whatever the case, you need to understand that by not dealing with this firmly and quickly, you're encouraging more. Whether he's a child or adult, he needs to be shown the authorities as soon as possible.

If he isn't stopped, someone (you, or the next girl to face his anger) could be seriously hurt, or worse.

Please hurry and tell the authorities. Do the right thing, and stay safe. Good luck.


I am a 13 year old girl and I want to know what i can to to be hotter towards guys. I find myself to be okay looking, I am 5'3, pretty straight blond hair, freckles on my nose, blue eyes, straight teeth, and im not fat but I am not skinny either. My personality isn't that bad either, I am kind to everyone, smart, but I am kind of shy toward the guys I like.

I want to know what a guy around my age considers hot and what I can do to be hotter.

And Please do not put answers like I am to young to be worrying about guys or I should not change for a guy. It is not like i am getting plastic surgery! I think it would be for the best because I could get more self confidence.

Well, 13 is not too young to be worrying about guys, as long as you continue to excel in classes and other activities. There's also nothing wrong with looking good for the other gender, as long as you stay true to yourself.

To answer your question though, the tried and proven method of attracting male attention is to show more skin. It's a delicate balance though. You'd want to leave plenty to the imagination, and not come off looking like a tramp.

A skirt slightly above the knees, and a form fitting t-shirt. If you have a fit body, try to show off some of the curves with form fitting clothing.

Depending on your personality or fashion preferences, colors and fabrics are up to you. Try looking in some teen fashion magazines, as they are often shamelessly sexually charged despite the target audience.

Remember not to show too much skin! This is important, as any guy worth your time and attention won't want a girl who looks like she's 'easy' or 'slutty'. Makeup is usually helpful, but in very very light quantities. Don't try to hide your face in it.

If you wear glasses, get a pair that frames your face well. Get your hair done if you want to spend the money on it regularly. Do your nails if you are into that, buy some clothing. Looking good costs money, so that's something to remember.

However, looking good is for -every day-, not some days. The guys won't stop looking at you just because you're not expecting it. So try to find a style and cost margin that you're willing to deal with every day. Don't put all this insane effort into it one day and then not wear it later because it's too much work. Keep it constant.

Even after all this, the most important aspect is your demeanor. The way you carry yourself. I mean your personality. Stay cheerful yet reserved, and always be friendly no matter who you're talking to.

Good luck!



Well, I can't STAND to drink just straight water. And i was wondering since all i drink now is crystal light. can't it just replace water?? (link)
You can never replace water. You just can't.

Technically, if you squint your eyes hard enough, it can be as good as water. After all, water is what makes it a drink in the first place, as opposed to powder. The difference being that you are getting less water in your system per drink.

I'm not extremely well versed in biology, but it would seem to me that your body will have to expend more energy separating the CL (Crystal Light)from the water once you drink it. Now I could be dead wrong about this, but I think that would be less efficient.

If you have a medical reason why you should be drinking plain water, by all means, do so. But if you are drinking water/CL just to sate your thirst, you should be fine.

I can't stand plain water either. However, when I have cottonmouth or feel dehydrated, plain water is and always has been the quickest cure. I try to get a glass of the coldest water I can. The colder the better. It masks the taste of the water by shutting down some of the nerve endings in your tongue due to the cold.... plus it feels dang good on a parched mouth.

But yeah..... enjoy your Crystal Light. Just try to take a full glass of water every now and then.



Ok my eyes keeps twitiching like every once in a while and it's been doing alot in the past like 4 days or something and i always hear it's from stress and it could be that i'm stressed cause of school and my friend and alot of stuff going on but yeah how can i make it stop? (link)
Go see a doctor. No really, go see one.

The best answer for any strange new problem with your body is seeing your family doctor. At the very least, call him up and ask him this same question.

If he says it is from stress, then begin looking for stress relief exercises to try out. Try to stay away from medications until it gets to be a serious problem.

If any other new symptoms appear along the side, you really should go see a doctor. Make it a top priority if you start feeling actually sick. It could be a sign of something serious.


my mom has a REALLLLYYY old microwave that doesnt stop making that.. cooking noise that microwaves make even if you open it. i dont know if when i open it and get my stuff out if its like.. hurting me or not. i have like a brandnew really high tech one.. i dont know if they both have the same likliness of hurting me or what? its not a very common concern cause i cant find a whole bunch on it.. so any bit would be helpful (link)
Nova said it best. Microwaves heat by agitating water molecules in the tissue being cooked. Your body is 75-80% water.... so if you stick your hand into it, it WILL hurt. You will cook your hand.

If this very old microwave does not completely turn off when you open the door, GET A NEW ONE. All new microwaves should turn off when the door is opened. So long as it does, you are safe.

Most microwave ovens, like all other ovens, are safe so long as they are not defective. If you notice on the door of the oven, there is a metal grid. Well that grid keeps the waves inside.

In a nutshell, your new oven should be MUCH less dangerous than the one your mom uses. Urge your mother to replace the old one if it is indeed staying on when you open the door.


i'm 15/f/nj is it legal to have sex with a 19 year old guy i know 16 is the age of consent but isnt' there something about if it's with in a certin number of years and your like 14 then its ok (link)
Yes. The law says it is illegal. It is illegal for a reason too, but I won't go preaching about morality to you.

You might want to tell your parents first, as well. They will probably say no, but if you don't tell them, and they find out?.... they won't even need you to cry rape for him to go to prison. All they have to do is call the police and he is GONE.

Talk to your parents. Please.
