I have a boyfriend, but I'm starting to have doubts on him.he might not be the right guy for me. A: he's not popular. B: sadly he smells. C: he's started to call me his girlfriend i don't really care about that part... so anyway, should i break up with him? (link)
Dump him dear, you'd be doing him a big favor. He sounds too comfortable with himself and sophisticated for you.


I made chicken for the first time on Sunday. It came out decent but the chicken seemed a little dry. What are tips for making chicken really moist and juicy but at the same time making sure it's cooked all the way? Is there anything I should add to it before, after, or during the cooking of it?

Thanks! (link)
Pleanty of moist stuffing, maybe even a small onion put inside the chicken should work wonders as the moisture has no where to evaporate but through the chicken, giving it more liquids to cook on without totally drying out. Or settling the heat lower for the chicken to cook more slowly. The higher the heat the faster the juices leave the chicken. The lower the heat, the more likely the juices just simmer as it cooks. Just make sure you lengthen your time to make up for the lower heat. If unsure, give it the occasional scewer. If the juices run clean, it's cooked. Good luck


I live with a roommate who is vindictive and has a new problem with me every day. The newest one is that the house smells like ammonia and it's from my cats
I had the cats neutered and spayed and have had them in the house for 6 months. They have never peed anywhere besides the liter box and i change it 2timeson a day. My roomate text me telling me to take care of this ammonia smell and i knew she was lying, however when i got home i smelt ammonia that i never smelt before by the stairs. I strongly believe she bought ammonia and put it on the stairs to prove a point to me. I have been catching her in odd lies a lot lately and would like to know how i can prove the smell ia not from my cats.

She keeps giving you altermatoms, through one back at her. Tell her that you have tried to live up to her demands as a room mate but find her constant need for you to change waring and impossible to forefill. At the end of it all, you are what you are and you can't change just because she wants you to, she can take it or leave it. But what good is it doing anyone to bicker constantly. So, you've tried meeting her terms, it hasn't worked, there's always new ones. Suggest maybe it's time one of you move out as you're bad for oneanother - see what she says to that. If she insists it's you that moves, maybe you should consider calling her bluff. If she backs down, as this might just wake her up to the prospects of a new roomy who'll displease her even more or is less tolerant of her winges or she may feel she won't cope financially on her own till finding another - you win. You'll always know in future you have power over her. If she doesn't back down, maybe it would be better for you to get away from her anyway. The atmosphere must be pretty toxic, if she really is setting these things up it could get a lot nastier. I'd leave. No one should have to put up with that. Also, try asking her without coming across condescending - "I feel I have done all I can to prevent any annoying smells from the cats. If you have any new ideas, please tell me and I'll b happy to give them a go (aside from getting rid of them) - but, bottom line, personally I wouldnt stick around. There are plenty of potential roomys without her attitude. Why stay and suck up the nasty atmosphere? Good luck


Hello I am 13 and this other guy is 13. We are both in the same class. He said he wants to have sex with me. I love him so much but he said he would date me only to have sex with him.I would do any thing to make him happen should I do it. Maybe he would want to date me after. I don't know can you help I am only 13 and do not know a lot about boys. Please help me. I need help. (link)
Bad idea to have sex so young. Especially if emotions are involved. It's confusing enough when you're older believe me. Women have a chemical that is only released in their systems when having sex or giving birth that instantly makes them feel deep love and conection. Men on the other hand often have all sorts of deep set commitment phobic issues that have been breed into them from years of trying to be masculine and unaffected to conker before they let themselves get emotional. They usually take longer to fall in love. Sometimes, they never feel any love or connection to a person they have sex with and the woman ends up feeling used and unwanted. I'm not saying all men are incapable of being in love if things get physical but your guy definitely sounds like the wrong type, especially at 13, I suspect not a lot is going through his heart or mind but getting into your pants, boys in their early teens are grateful for any naive girl who is willing to throw som their way, but they won't show any gratitude after, someone who wants to distance himself from emotional connection before he's even got want he wants will most certainly put do everything he can to put more distance still between you and himself after he's got what he wanted.13 is way too young to be dealing with those feelings. Guys will do or say anything for a quick fumble but if you know it will mean more to you and even more so if he has said as much, it really really isn't worth how you are going to feel after, right now - you have no idea how miserable it will make you, and at your vulnerable age it could be the start of a very messed up life. Please say no and wait for someone who genuinely cares about you. I know it's difficult but he really really isn't worth what your willing to sacrifice for his brief pleasure. Good luck hun


NOTE: This seriously is NOT my personal question.

One of my closest friend was talking to me about a problem she has been having lately. She admits she is bisexual (attracted to both sexes) but says she does not want to be that way. She knows her parents won't accept the fact that she is bisexual, as it is FORBIDDEN in her house. She wishes she could just come out and expose the real her, but fears judgement, and her parents. Note: She has had a secret relationship with a girl. What advice should I give her? Should she tell her parents? Expose the real her? Please, I really don't know what to tell her. (link)
A lot of these rules we think parents have had, we just assume. Maybe they won't be thrilled, realistically I think even the most bisexually comfortable of parents wish for their young to have an uncomplicated & easy life & have a family of their own, but however unaccepting they are to begin with, if she really has decided this about herself & it isn't just a phase, they will see that it's the only way to be happy for her and if they are loving parents (which I believe they would be if she is worried they'll be against it, as it's more than likely they might be thinking they're being protective) - it would be odd for them to say "It is prohibited in this house to be bisexual" so we can only assume she is presuming this. However, unlike if she was gay, do they really need to be told if she's worried about upsetting them? And if she's thinking of practicing bisexual sex in her parents house & this is what she thinks they'll be against, I think that's pretty reasonable. It's their house, my parents wouldn't have allowed me to have straight sex in their house - but really, if you're old enough to be having sexual relationships you are old enough to have your own place. If your not able to afford your own place, go to your partners - it isn't fair to impose things on your parents in their house were they can't escape it. Good luck


Hi there so I am 18/F
So I have a lot of guy friends and a few girl friends, most of which are short, except my best friend who is 6", I however am 5"9 and I feel soooo tall, I look at my girl friends who are 5"5 or 5"6 and they get a lot of guys, I get guys and everything, but for some reason I look at my girl friends and I feel freakishly tall and weird, I am skinny, I eat a lot but I don't gain weight, I weigh about 130, I just don't understand why I feel so ugly around my friends, is there anything wrong with being this tall, I feel so insecure when I go out with them. Why is it that tall girls aren't as pretty as short girls? (link)
I am 5"3 and always wish I had longer legs. Most people are much taller than me. There are a lot of guys that love long legs and there are others that prefer being taller. We always want what we don't have but you are just as beautiful for being tall as you are short, you have just as much chance at anything you desire. I could never be a model because of my height, I would have a disadvantage at a lot of sports. I'm sure there are as many disadvantages being tall. I am big busted - I get a lot of envy over my bust, but the truth is, there are a lot of pretty, slinky clothes that I cannot wear because I am not adverge in my proportion - you are very luck to stay slim whilst eating lots. I love food but I've been trying so hard to lose weight over the past few moths it's just miserable & nothing seems to shift it. However I know people who hate being skinning and equally - there are guys who are drawn to slender girls & won't touch girls a with any more flesh on them than Keira Knightly & there are guys who prefer curves who won't look at anything less. Though the best ones don't care too much if they're attracted to you for who you are. Learn to appreciate the things you have, there are many pros for being tall & thin - let people see you love being who you are and they'll love you for it. Good luck


My friend cuts herself.She did a couple of years ago too,but stopped.She has started again.I noticed today in math on her wrist she had about 10 tiny slits.I asked her what happened,but she said her cat attacked her,but she looked and answered nervous.What should I do? (link)
If she's trying to hide it and unwilling to talk openly, this is serious stuff for you to be carrying by yourself and not worth double guessing the best action to take. I think talking to someone who'd have an understanding of this sort of behaviour through experience or profession would be best. Maybe have a quiet word with your school nurse or a teacher you trust to be desecreat - ask to be kept anon in case she feels you've betrayed her confidence, which you wouldn't have done, she needs help but she won't see it that way till she's better. Good luck


Is there any way to get ride of a pimple FAST???
HURRY I NEED TO GET RIDE OF IT BEFORE FRIDAY!!! (link)
Well, I'm 31, I've had acne on and off since I was 9 and I'm still occasionally googling "fastest way to heal a zit" just in case someone has come up with something that actually works! The annoying truth is there's no real short cuts. I sometimes think the less you muck around with it, the faster it'll heal, but if it's got a head I'll always pop. Use knuckles to squeeze if you do as nails will do the damage. I haven't scared. But it really depends on your skin type. Ask your parents. If one of them had acne you probably have similar healing properties in your skin, ask if they scared. I know it sounds extreme but by the time I was 18 I'd tried every treatment and most just either made me sore & itchy & made the acne more angry or it dried my skin out too much or just did nothing, so my doctor suggested I try oral contraception. You don't have to be sexually active to benefit from these, they control the hormone that produces the sebum that causes spots. Works great for me. As soon as I have a break from them I get a zit or 2 but most of the time I'm clear. I wouldnt suggest young teenagers start on them though as they can have bad side effects. Your doctor will know if they're suitable for you. On the bright side, if you have the type of skin that will stay oily & prone to spots when your an adult, you're skin will stay young and wrinkle free much longer. I have none & my mum who is 70 this year has really great skin for her age and still gets the occassional spot! Good luck, I hope this helps.
