Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 3 months now. I have no idea what to get him for valentines day. Is the classic card and chocolate bad? Or anything better I can get him? I don't want to go all out and everything. Just something to show I care. Any ideas? Thanks! (link)
My boyfriend loves sharks, so I'm going to get him a shark teddy or something like that, so find out something that he likes and get him something related to that. I'm also cooking dinner for him, so you could consider that if you have any cooking experience xD.
And, I've made him a pillow with a drawing of an anime girl and boy like in love - cos he loves drawing anime. But it might be a bit early for you to do something like that :) although if you're completely serious about him, then go for it. Yet again, there's nothing wrong with a cute card and chocolates and do something fun for the day.

By the way, to the person who answered below, I love the chocolate idea! :D


Okayy so I'm 16, and sexual active.
I feel the need to be on birthcontrol , better to be safe. But my parents are not aware that I have sex. & I dont plan on telling them, well at this moment. My friends said that I can just go on base & theyll give it too me. But I don't know if thats true. & i'm not 17, like legal age. So can I have some help please? (link)
If your 16 or over you can ask your doctor to go on birth control without your parents knowing.


I am 16 years old,I have been haveing sex for about a year now.But i want to get on birthcontrol.
How can i get on it without my mom finding out.She knows i lost it,But i don't want her to know i am on the pill.Just the way I feel.So how can i get on it? (link)
Depending on where you live, you can just go to your doctor and ask without your parents knowing. It's only if your 15 or under you're parents have to know, but you're 16 so your doctor can't tell your parents without your permission.


Alright then... This is gonna be long but, main topic: sex. Here's whats up. When me and my girlies were like ten haha we made this dinky little pact/promise that we would wait for marriage to have sex. And since then thats what Ive always wanted. I am a pretty strict catholic so not only is that like a big rule in the church, Ive just wanted it done that way. I wanted my first time to be with that special guy that Ive waited my life for, and will spend the rest of it with him. I'm a sucker for that romantic stuff hahah. Plus to me (tooootally not passing judgement here) Ive always found it kind of trashy to have sex in highschool. Not that I look down on anyone or think any differently of those who have, thats just what Ive always thought for myself, if that makes sense. Then again, when I made that pact and when I thought those things, I didn't have a boyfriend, I had never even kissed a boy. Those same girls have been my buds since pre-k and were still tight. I know they still want to wait... There are four of us girls k? Ones had two relationships, both wierd and awkward and not very physical, and the other has had a realllllly fast moving relationship and I'm not quite sure how far they went, could be third base, I don't know. And the last has only kissed. (Were fourteen/fifteen; freshmen by the way). Well I've been dating this awesome guy for like four months (Ive been friends and known him for much much longer) and we haven't gone past second base, skimmed third... kinda... hahaha. Anyway. The thing is, I find myself wanting to have sex with him. Badly. Maybe its just lust and its all stupid and dumb but I want to. Guys have tried to have sex with me before, and I wasn't ready. And when I started dating my current boyfriend (who is sixteen; sophomore) I let him know that I am not ready for sex. And he's totally cool with that. He's amazing, hasn't pressured or pushed it AT ALL, this is all me here. But I want to do it. But I don't know... there are certain things that make me not. The fact that its going against my religion, I KNOW my friends would totally not be cool with it, and I don't know, I'd feel dirty. But I want to. I want to so much. I love him and I think I'm ready. Maybe I need a reality check. So give it to me guys. Talk me out of it. Do something cuz I don't know what to do... (link)
I don't really agree with the person below me. My current boyfriend and I are each others first long-term relationship, we had sex within a few months and we're still together a year on. Sex doesn't ruin relationships, most of the time it makes you and your boyfriend closer. Although, me and my boyfriend are 16 and 17 so I do think you should wait a while until you know for sure it's what you want. Maybe talk to one of your friends about this? Try and make them understand and to be honest, they would be able to help you more than anyone on here can because they know you personally.

And by the way, to the person below me, isn't there a 50/50 chance in every single relationship that they can stay together or break up, regardless of sex? The only time a guy and a girl will break up over sex is because one of them was using the other and it really doesn't sound like her boyfriends using her so surely it would make them stronger as a couple?

does anyone know a font like this:
http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kus496WY7p1qzvcg6o1_500.jpg

("frosting shot") (link)
http://www.dafont.com/mandingo.font

This is the closest I could find to that font.

Click download and save it somewhere you can find it (Preferably make a new folder just for that font).
Find where you saved it and right click on some white space below and click on "Extract all"
Then click on 'browse' then click on computer, local disk (C:), windows, then click on fonts then OK.
Click Extract then it should come up on programs like Microsoft word (which ever program you use) on the fonts list.


Sorry if this wasn't clear, try searching on google "how to download a font" if you didn't understand :)


ok, I am 16 years old. ever since i started my period 6 months ago, it has NEVER been irregular. However, this month, about a week before it was supposed to come, i started having a little bit of brown discharge, and now it is actually time for it to come and the discharge is a darker brown, but it's still not here. Last month i started working out every day, but i stopped a week before this scheduled period now. Could that have a factor on when it's going to come even though I stopped a week before it was scheduled to come? I am not sexually active and as far as i know, I am not stressed out. What could be the reason for this? (link)

I got mine quite early and I was never ever regular, I went from a week late to a week early, it was all over the place. But a while ago I went on the pill and my period is regular now, around about the same day every month :).
It's nothing to worry about though, but if it bugs you as much as it did with me, consider going on the pill :)


basically i joined a sixth form college a couple of weeks ago and for the first few days this guy would look and smile at me all the time, would always make an effort to speak with me and seemed geniunely interested in what i had to say, would jokingly tease me all the time and would constantly try and impress me, plus all his friends would always tease him when i was around. then afterwards he just seemed to pay less attention to me, and he suddenly became really shy whenver i tried to speak to him- he's started hanging out in the same group of people as me but i now have to make more of an effort to sepak to him as he is always with other people.
i really like this guy, but now im really unsure as to how he feels about me right now, how should i deal with this??? (link)
Well, to start with, it's clear he's into you :] but I reckon that it's just because his friends tease him when he's around you, he may think you know he likes you, so of corse he'll act shy if he thinks that. Just talk to him and ask if he wants to hang out outside of school, just you two, so his friends won't be around to tease him so he'll be himself :)
Good luck :D

I HATE my height. HATE it.
I'm 5'5"
And a buncha people are shorter then me. I feel like I tower over them.
Is there any natural way to make myself shorter?
I doubt it, but I'm really tired of my height. (link)
I'm 15 & 5'7, almost every girl my age is shorter than me. & actually you're just about average for this age. I like wearing longer tops so it doesnt make my legs look as long though :). And, like the 2 comments below, just wear flat shoes and flip flops :)

Black cardigan with belt :)


I already know this answer, yes. People change.

People change their emotions, overtime they become and act differently then they may have originaly.

Now the reason why I am asking this
Me and a friend have gotten into and argument over this.
She says there is scientific fact and proof people NO NOT change.
And it baffles me somebody actually believes this cause it is the stupidest thing I have every heard in my life.

Now. I gave my friend examples.
I told her me, her, and three other people we know have changed dramaticaly within the year.
As in, style, attitude, thoughts.

Yet she still insists people don't change?
I googled "Proof people don't change"
But I didn't get anything even remotly close to this subject.

I'm asking for you're opinions. Do people change? Why or why not?
Is there proof? If so, where?



And last but not least, do not comment on way or how we gotten into this argument. That is none of your business nor is it any of your concer.

Thanks. (link)
People change early on in life because of the way they've been brought up, I guess. But yeah, people change. People they hang out with can influence a change of their lifestyle. People experiance different things, which may change the way they think of things. It's got something to do with the nature vs nurture. Some things we think/do, most believe it's to do with genes, but then it could be to do with the surroundings you were brought up in etc, both these things could influence what you think when you grow up. But then when you are older, experiances and/or a certain group of people can change what you think or do. So, basically yeah people do change.
Sorry if this isn't any help, I'm only studying soicialogy in gcse. :)


Is age 16, female, 'very beautiful' (what most men call me) normal to STILL be a virgin ? I think something's wrong with me ! I'm starting to feel depressed that all my friends arent. help ! (link)
No way.
Wait until you find the right guy, you'll regret it if you don't wait until you're in a good relationship with a guy who treats you well :)


so me and my boyfriend got together august 10th of last year. he broke up with me april 20th though and then we got back together just this week. so should i get him a 1-year anniversary gift on august 10th? or no? we didn't fight or anything bad in april, we just thought feelings changed, but we were obviously wrong. oh and what should i get him? i don't wanna go too over the top but i want to get him something that shows him i care...no home-made picture frames or any of that please.

oh and were both 17. (link)
You could I guess :)
Not as a one year present though. Just a little something like a teddy and a card maybe.


This guy and I have been talking a lot lately. I really love talking to him. The thing is, we met online. I'm really skeptical about the whole online dating thing. He's such a good guy though. I really love talking to him and being friends with him. The thing is, we barely ever talk about anything serious. I'm just not sure how to bring anything serious into a conversation. I can't say I completely trust him, cause we met online. Plus i've only known him for a few months. I do trust him enough to tell him some things. Like if i'm upset he can always tell, and he always asks if i'm okay. I really hate it because some of the times I just have to lie to him and tell him i'm fine. The reason for that is I don't like talking about my problems and stuff because I feel like i'm complaining and i don't want to be annoying or anything. I really hate lieing to him. Anyway i'd really love to meet him and be friends with him after I finish high school. I don't want to rush anything because I really don't want to lose him or anything. He's really the only good friend I have right now. My question is, how can I bring up serious things when we talk and sound casual? Or at least bring up serious things in a conversation? (link)
My friend introduced me to this guy online, we were exactly as you described, and exactly how I felt. We spoke for about 3 months and then we met, and 7 months on we've never been happier.
So just go for it really :) you won't regret it and, hopefully, things will turn out as good for you as they did for me :)
