Ok, well my boyfriend, well I guess, ex-boyfriend and I broke up today. He told me that lately he's been confused about how he feels towards me as in like which way he likes me and all. And he's still really confused and he says he doesn't know why, he sayed this happens whenever he starts to really like someone alot. He's the first person I can actually say I love. I'm still very much in love with him, and it hurts. I don't know why he is so confused. Did I do something wrong? We've been going out for four months ever since december the 4th. I just don't understand this and it's killing me. What's wrong with me, what did I do, what can I do? (link)
I read this post a couple time, I was thinking that maybe the root of your BF confusion is a fear of getting to close. I know that many people, men, women, girls and boys alike have some kind of fear, of maybe getting to close. In some instances they fear they are not sure if they want to let go of their freedom when It comes to dating. Time doesn't seem like the issue here, even if your bf may miss you or not, You should not have to be strung along for a ride that is killing you inside. I'd say the best thing to do, is to sit him down, and tell him exactly how you feel about the issue. If he doesn't agree, and is still very confused then the best thing is to let him go, maybe he will see clearly and come back to you. You dont deserve to be feeling like a side dish. Maybe you can get him to tell you exactly what is bothering him, because confusion has to stem from something. The best of luck to you. Hope everything turns out for the best.


ok well I have been talking to myslef since I was about 6 or 7 and I seriously feel like I'm talking to someone else. I ask myself questions and then give myself an answer all out loud. When I think these I can't come to a solution, but when I talk to myself out loud I feel like another person is talking to me. I find myself looking in magazines and saying out loud and pointing as if I'm giving another person a visual "I'm her."(on that I also find myself choosing who I am in a movie show anything even books... what could that mean) And then I sit in my room and I act out diffent things talking to myself and then talking as if I'm another person and I can get so into it that I get angry or upset I can even cry example: (I have done this) i say "I love you so much" then "I don't know if this will last so let's not kid ourselves and continue with this" then my throat starts to close up and I get so into i say more and more and start feeling the emotions one would feel if this were actaully happening and then I just keep on talking to myself. Is this normal? If not what is it? I'm 13 (link)
It sounds to me like you could possibly have mutiple perosnalities, schizophrenia in other terms, this is nothing to be ashamed of so don't listen to what some people have written to you on here. If this continues to bother you, i'd suggest maybe making an appointment to see a psychologist. They are really helpful, and respectful of you. Most of them are specially trained in that department alone. There are many terms out there for multiple personalities some may sound ugly, but don't be ashamed. This could also be something that could deminish after you have gotten through with puberty when your hormones, and brain chemicals seem to balance out more. The best thing to do is take it a day at a time, cheer up also, I wish you the best of luck.


Ok last night my sisters bouyfriend raped me. He said that the only reason that he was dating my sister was to get closer to me and that he watched me all the time. I haven't told anyone yet because I am scared and my sister is always telling me how much she loves him and that she wants to marry him. And I know that I should tell her because he is a jerk and I dont want her to make any wrong decisions but I can't because I dont want to break her heart. How can I tell her and my family that he raped me?? Because everyone in our family thinks he is a great guy and he wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone but he hurt me and I don't know if my family will believe me and my sister might think that I am just making this all up because I am jealous. How should I tell them??


Thanks!!!! (link)
Honey the best thing for you to do, and I know it's going to be hard is to tell your mother, also tell her that you want it reported. Rape isn't only a physical injury, emotional as well, It can effect you the rest of your life. The next step in that is maybe seeing a rape crisis councelor, they help out with alot of emotional things you may be feeling. You don't have to pay any money to see one. You might be able to get the hotline number online. I'm so very sorry that this happened to you, and he needs to be arrested before it happens to someone else. I know it will be very hard. It's never easy, but have confidence in yourself, it is the best thing to do. Once again this may be a hard struggle for you, but I know you can get through it, don't ever let yourself believe that you arent strong enough.


Hey! I am 13 and I want to start using tampons. The last time I tried it hurt like hell and I couldn't get it to go in far enough. And I am using the smallest type I can find! Whats wrong? Thanks and NO Smart A**ES! THANKS! (link)
When I was your age I had the same problem, I found out quickly enough though, that if you dont agle it just right it will hurt pretty badly. The best thing to do is read the instruction paper, I know it sounds funny, but it will tell you, when you insert it, it has to be angled slightly toward your back, not front. You will get the hang of it, when it is finally done right, you wont even feel it there. The size of the tampon, unless it's a extra super which I can't even use the extra super, the size really doesn't matter. Try the regular, and light days. I think the best ones to start with are tampax pearl.


I don't mean to sound gross but I have a yellow sore in the back of my mouth were my tonsals used to be and it burns really bad. (sorry 4 the spelling) I have been brushing my teeth everyday and I have been using scope. So what could it be?!?!? I haven't got tonsals now so..... (no smarts please thanks!) (link)
It could be an infection, even though your tonsils are gone, various types of infections can cause that in the back of your throat. Sometimes even an ear infection, because of the fact that your ear canals link into your throat. Your ears dont have to be painful to have an infection. It seems like the right area of the throat where the ear canals come in. The best thing to do is to see your doctor about it, he can tell more about whats going on. Hope eveything goes well.


okay so whenever i wake up in the morning i always feel so nausious that i cant eat anything but it usually goes away by about 10...excpet sometimes it gets worse and i either throw up or are about to throw up...and its not because im hungry because i usually have like big midnight snacks and stuff so whats wrong wtih me (link)
Most likely the reason for the nausea is the midnight snack's sitting in your stomach for to long. when you are laying down asleep your digestive tract slows down, and doesn't digest things as fast as it normally would while you are up and moving. Could just be that the food is sitting in your stomach for to long and making you nauseous. Try just eating a piece of toast if you must have a snack at midnight, something light. If not try not eating at that time of night at all. Truly we are not supposed to eat atleast three hours before we go to bed at night. Hope it helps. Good Luck.


well I just got back from camping and about the second day into camping I started having to pee alot about mid afternoon. Like I'm talking literlly every 5 minutes I would go pee and right after I'd have to go again. So me and myf riends thought I had a bladder infection or something but it didn't really hurt. Then after we were done walking around we went and laid down for a bit and it went away then the next day we woke up and it started again and tehn it would go away but this day it started to urt a little at the end of peeing. not teh whole thing. We were drinking that weekend so we didn't know if it was from over drinking becuase we hadn't really had that much but when I drink alot of water it slows down a bit. But yah I'll go through a stage in teh day where I can't stop peeing and then it will slow down but it still hurts a little. So I don't really know what it is so if any one knows or had this hapen to them and knows how to cure it that'd be great. (link)
Sounds to me like you have a UTI. the best thing for you to do is contact your doctor, it doesn't always have to hurt badly, sometimes not at all to have a UTI (urinary tract infection).


so what do you do if whenever you get in fights with your mom your step dad gets involved too adn every time he gets involved i tell him hes not my dad so stop talking to me and hten he says yeah im glad im not bc if i was your dad id beat your damn ass ... idk what to do or to say to him and its really pissing me off! please help! (link)
First of all you have to think about what your step father may be feeling also, no offense but being a step parent is just as bad as having one maybe even harder because you always feel the child may hate you in some way or another. It sounds to me like he just wants you to respect your mother in which you really should. A mother goes through alot in life also. She may be there one day and not the next. What happens then? I know what it's like to argue with your mother believe me I'm not innocent I've done it, but I've learned in the end, she wasn't trying to torment me she was just trying to guide me, which felt like torment at the time. When you are older you will be very thankful for it. It has to be hard for you're step father to watch you two argue, he loves your mother, and loves you also. No one can ever take the place of a real father but he sounds like he is trying his best only to be shot down at any given moment. He didn't have to step in and help raise you, it was a choice made out of love. You should honestly cherish that. All I'm saying is try to see his side of things. It will help you two understand each other better. He also needs to know that every teenager argue's with their mother, and that was definately the wrong thing to say even if he didn't mean it that way. Children need encouragement not anger. Maybe you need to sit with him and tell him how them words make you feel. Maybe you will both come out happier, maybe even make a truce, for you both to try a little harder. It don't seem like he's going anywhere anytime soon, so it's easier to learn to live with it. Good luck!!


What are some of the symptons of low oxygen levels in a 1 year old (link)
Usually if a child has low oxygen levels they tend to try and breath faster, the nail beds may turn bluish or purple, the lips may turn blue or whitish color. Also a good way to tell is to gently pinch part of their skin not enough to hurt them, if the skin stays white instead of turning back to it's normal color that is another sign of low oxygen levels. I have two children whom have asthma I've had to deal with such things. Low Oxygen is very serious so if you suspect thats what may be happening. Don't go to you're primary doctor, go to the ER immediately.


my mom is gay and now im startign to tell my friends and they like me for who i am not what my mom is or isnt but now there is a nasty girl across the street and i guess she saw my mom and her girlfriend kissing and now shes telling everyone and its not sucha great way to start off my summer.should i really care what other people are going to say do you think its gonna ruin my years coming in school if i admit to everyoner that my mother is a lesbian? (link)
Don't worry what people think, you will feel better about your self in the end. I used to have to deal with the same issues when I was young, I just stopped caring what people thought about my mother as long as she was happy, thats all I cared about. My mother being a lesbian never changed how I felt about her. Some people just don't understand, but in the end they are the one's who are wrong not you.


ok i have 2 questions having to do w/ tampon use and toxic shock syndrome.
*that rule that u leave a tampon in 4-8 hours... is that just like thats how long you can use it and then you have to wear a pad or something...or can you change to a new one?
*well i accidently fell asleep on the couch last nite and i still had my tampon in since around 5:30 to about 8 (AM) I'm extremely scared that i might be at risk for toxic shock syndrome. Can someone tell me what the symptoms are? and how to treat them? please help me i am so scared! also i am 13/f if that does anything. please help me! (link)
Toxic Shock syndrom, you will start feeling extremely sick already, don't worry if you feel fine right now, just change your tampon now. try not to leave it in for long next time. It is better to use a maxi pad while you sleep. In most instances TSS usually occurs mostly in women who leave them in for over a day. Don't worry so much ok.


hi im thirteen and my moms been having really bad neck pain, i was just wondering if this could be a problem like a deadly thing because shes been getting headaches and she has been really tired lately and she doesnt seem very comfortable. but my main question is: is this serious? (link)
It sounds to me like she might have mono, it is a virus caused by the epstien barr virus. It includes fatigue ( tiredness) neck pain and head aches. It may make her feel run down and extremely tired and sore. I'd still suggest she go and see her primary physician just to be on the safe side. Mono usually isn't serious unless she is hit in the stomach very hard, in which the reason is, sometimes with Mono the spleen swells, so she should be careful at least until mono is excluded not to be hit in the stomach by anything. Mono just usually has to run it's course, like the flu it is a virus and antibiotics will not take care of it.


Ok, I have this really rare blood type (AB-) and my mom told me that if I want to have children, I have to go with my "partner" to get tested to see what blood types can mix with each other and be ok. She said if I mix body fluids (blood) with someone that isn't the same type as me, I'll die. And I really like this guy, but I don't know what blod type he is. And I don't want anyone to know that we....um, yeah. And I'm just....full of freaking questions! I'm such a dork! (link)
Not to be rude but you're mother must have not researched enough on your blood type. A negative blood type is just that a negative blood type. In which case the O + blood type is universal to all blood types in case of transfusion needs. Most hospitals also have every blood type available. I think the only thing you have to worry about is maybe getting a shot before you give birth to help with not giving the baby any complications if you are to get pregnant. I myself have a rare blood type which is O - my husband is A+. I did not die from doing things with him, no complications from doing things with him either. I also have 2 healthy children one with A+ blood type and the other with O+. All in all it's the same situation with any negative blood type it doesn't matter the blood type of you're partner.










hi i am 17 and i have been taking birth control for three months. um i need help, okay i am getting off the pills and i just got off my period last week and now back on and i know it is because of the birth control, but the first day i did not take it i had sex with my boyfreind and he you know in me and we both asgreed on having a baby well o you think i could get prgnant please help me (link)
I know you said that you and your bf both agreed on having a baby, And yes it is a wonderful experience. One thing you have to consider is the money issue. It takes alot of money to take care of kids. Even with both parents working it's still hard. Try thinking about finishing school first, then go for it. Anyway if you are good luck.


is there any way to get maple syrup out of a shirt?
(link)
Sometimes a syrup stain doesn't come out so easily, Try a spray called totally toddler. You let it sit into the fabric for about 15 minutes, then just run it through the regular wash. Totally Toddler can be found usually in a baby isle of a store. Used for a variety of stains.


hello my name is ally and i am 23 and married for last 4 month.
i would like to know if a women does not gets her mensuration (monthly periods)in any of the month then how many days does it takes to know her that she is pregnant.....n whats is the measure to confirm that she is pregnant.

thanks (link)
That all depends on your HCG levels, sometimes it will show up the day of your missed period. Sometimes it can take up to three weeks. Usually a blood test is more invasive, check with your primary physician about having a serum pregnacy test done. Good luck!!
