Q: Ok, so I have a boyfriend and I really, really like him. There's only one problem...I'm not allowed to date until I'm 16. I'm not really sure if just haning out at school is considered dating or not. Plus, I always feel embarrassed having a boyfirend, or guilty because I'm not supposed to. I really don't know what to do. My mom knows we're "going out" if you could call it that since we don't really do anything together since, well, I can't date. My sister doesn't have a problem "dating" a guy before 16 but I do. What should I do?
Well i have the same rule and i think if you just talk to your mom shell consider it shelll just need a little time to think about it so if she says ill think about it wait until shes done maybe you can compromise and if she says you can date but you just cant go out ask if you can in big or medium sized groups

Q: I smoke but I want to stop. I dont want to buy the gum or patch I just want to do it naturly. I didnt need anything to help me start so I dont need anything to help me stop. The other day i went with out a cig for a day but then the next day I wanted one. If I am not around them I can deal with it better and dont think about them. The problem is my family and friends smoke so I am mostly around it how can I stop smoking
well first of all youll always have the addiction to cigerettes the nicotine addiction wont stop but just take it one day at a time if you are about to smoke and have a cig in your hand look at it and say to yourself i dont need this and throw it away of course itll be hard but if you want to quit you can do it

Q: well, i was in my bf's room a few weeks ago and he left for a moment, and i found a piece of paper saying "her" with an email address. I got immediately suspicious and remembered the email.
Later I added the email using a fake account and it turned out to be his ex! I started talking to her out of curiosity and we became "friends" she soon started going on about her ex and I know it was my bf she was referring to. i know they had been together a very long time and i think he really liked her, but the rest of the details of the relationship he didn't tell me because he knew i would be jealous. we were only friends when he was dating her. now i'm finding out all sorts of things, and i've found out he's lied to me about a few things from his past. she's also made out that he still isn't over her but she is over him. he told me he was over her. i really didn't mean to find this stuff out. the more i find out, the more upset i get. besides, i keep comparing myself to her because she's older than me and has had so many bfs and experience, and my bf seemed to like her more than me!

what should i do? should i continue speaking to her, or tell my bf everything and confront him? i feel awful about it now.. i wish i had never added her because it was going behind his back. but i also feel i need to keep speaking to her to find out the truth. this is a hopeless situation - please help? thank you
well i agree that you cant take back what you did but if emailing you new friend or his ex is making mad because of all the info your dishing out then stop doing it understand that everyone has a past and secrets that somtimes they dont want to tell so you just have to leave it at that but i do think maybe you should talk to your bf


Q: If the guy you like, asked you if you liked him, what would you say? Should you tell him the truth and take the risk, or just tell him you don't like him and keep it all inside for him to find out?
Thanks.
You should totallly tell him cause if you tell him you dont he might be like okay next a guy usually gives you one chance i had the same problem so i consulted my friends and one of my brothers friends hes like the "ladies man" lol well yeah totally tell him and if he already asked you ask him or just tell him you know how i told you that i didnt like you well i have a confession i do

Q: 15/f

when i was like 12, i would spend all the time that i could with my mom. i would actually hang up on some other friends on the phone to hang out with her. when i turned about 14, my mother maybe thought that i favored my friends over her (not true) but w/e. she probably just thought it was weird i wanted to go out with them and not want myself to be seen in the mall w/ her and stuff. but you know, that was normal like a year-two years ago. but she believed after that that there was only one way to get to a teenager. it was to talk to her/him in like foul language and get into AIM and myspace and all that. i guess its kind of cool my mom likes myspace, but not to the extreme she takes it. she goes on there at 6:00 in the morning to check if i have any comments. i never get to see when i have new comments and stuff because she looks at them first. she even responds to them! i think that is crazy and is insane and i don't know what else, but she can't just talk for me on myspace! its just wrong! i'm not saying it for any reason other than i like MY words to come out of MY mouth and not anybody else's. that really isn't the only way that she can through to me, and she KNOWS that i like her better than my friends because i don't really have any friends, well girl-friends that is. i only have one. the rest of my friends are guys, because i just get along better with them because i'm not in competition with them and we don't get jealous of each other and stuff. so, really, why does she get this way? i don't want to get into fights with her anymore..... does anyone have any words of wisdom that can help me here? thank you in advance
i toattly understand when i became a teen i stoppted going everywhere with my mom and just wanted to hang out with my friends maybe your mom just feels like she loosing you talk with her about the way you feel get her her own myspace and maybe plan one day out of the week or weekend to spend with just her

Q: I relly need help. My hair used to look straight when it was long (down by my hips). I mean it was always wavy and the ends curled....but now people really notice it and I rather straight hair.

I straighten my hair at least once a week or once in 2 weeks and the other fews day it's wavy..i don't mind but when I straighten it...the straightening balm makes my hair luk oily. I was wondering if there's some product that doesn't make it luk oily but helps protect against heat damage?
maybe try something other than a balm that comes out in squirts and wash your hair with straighting shampoo like sleek matrix they used to only sell it at salons but i saw some at albertsons or if you already got your stuff wash you hair that then leave the conditioner in for like and extra minuet or two wash it out itll also make your hair heathy and soft but yeah so try the redkin smooth down it protects against frizz AND heat damage

Q: okay, so i can't go a day without having to wash

Q: I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on contact solution...like which one is the best. I know Renu is bad because there's a pattern of eye infections among those who use it. I am currently using complete moisture plus...but someone told me that long periods of use could cause redness in the eye..They recommended opti-free--So I was wondering if it was good or not? If anyone else has other suggestions...Let me know! :) Thanks!
i can answer this one i use opti free at first i was using renu to but it sometimes burned my eyes so the doctor recommended me opti free i love it really lol well yeah i just changed doctors though and they wanted to change me to complete plus or whatever but my brother had that he said it was better for hard lenses or overall opti free

Q: how do you find your body fat percentage rate? everyone is saying they have like a 10& body fat percentage rate, so how do you find it out?

good answers get you a 5.
the girl below is right that BMI wont tell you you body fat percentage and the reason why is because there two different things you can find out your bodyfat both ways ones just more accurat or goes more in depth with measurments its easier to look it up on the internet its easier to calculate BMI though i rate about 18 it all depends on your hieght and weight and how active you are you could even ask a PE teacher or Soc awarness teacher

Q: Ok well I have a friend lets call her kim and she is f/15 and she is a freshman but she is going out with a senior that is 18 is this illegal? And if it helps I know that they have had sex and about everything in the book. But I just wanted to know if it was allowed or not she asked me and I had NO idea. Thanks ahead for your help! I rate high
of course its not legal but i think its up to your friend to take any serious actions in desciding what to do ((i dont mean not help though if she needs it ))

Q: okay.
im 13.
i just got my frist period this morning.
