My names Sam and I live in Georgia. I feel that I give good advice or I wouldn't be doing this. Sometimes I'm feeling sympathetic but a lot of the time I can be kind of blunt. That doesn't mean that I don't care, it just means that the truth isn't always what you want to hear. If it's a complicated question, about relationships and such, please IM me its a lot easier to work out that way. If you leave one in my inbox it will most likely be responded to by a question and a shot in the dark so include as much info as possible.

ok hey i asked u a day ago about my boyfriend not talking to me after we had sex. i tried going up to him and he would walk off he still wont talk to me and im afarid that i mite b pregrent because he didtn use a condom. he told me that he didnt like using them. and so i agreed with him. but now i dont no wut to do help me (link)
Well you have to break up with him. Are there any signs that you might be pregnant? If you think you are it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a pregnancy test at all. Always use condoms, I don't know how hard I have to stress this with people. I'm sorry about your boyfriend, but do you really want to be with an asshole like that anyways? Your probably thinking yes, but give it some time and space and you'll realize that leaving him was the best decision you ever made. I hope your not pregnant, but i still suggest taking a test especially if there are signs. If you start having any issues down there, it might not be a bad idea to go to a gyno to check for STDs either.


Okay, so I only just turned 13, and I want to become a professional singer.

I've always wanted to be one. Now I want to be one so bad I'll do anything. After seeing JoJo become a singer and she's only 13, I think I could do it too.

What I need to know is where I can go to shove my singing career off the ground. I've had private lessons on singing, and the only problem is I have stage fright of singing infront of people.

I just need to know 2 things. Places I can take my singing career further, and how to overcome my fear.

Thanks! (link)
Well, to overcome your fear just dont look at the audience, look directly over their heads, or close your eyes. Try to go to another world and keep yourself calm. Unfortunately, this wont make you a professional singer. Most professional singers interact with their audience, and thats what makes them special.

Also, you need to know what kind of image your going to have. You have to give a talent agent a reason to pick you over the masses of other 13 year olds who want to be just like Jojo.

Try to perform anywhere you can. Talk to your parents about finding places. Bars and clubs probably arent the best places for a 13 year old, but some restaurants and things arent a bad idea. Good luck


me and my boyfriend had sex and now he wont talk to me anymore and he acts werid around me. dont no what i should do .... HELP ME PLEASE

UR BESTFRIEND love ya (link)
Have you tried calling him? or just going up to him and asking him in person. Just ask one of your friends that knows him if he's going to be at a football game or something and just go up to him and be like, we need to talk. If he still wont talk to you, then you need to break up with him. Send me back a little more info and I can help more.


okay, if someone has been smoking pot for 3 years, normally how hard is it and how long will it take for them to quit? and when htey do try to quit, what are soem withdrawal syptoms that me, as his girlfriend, could face with him? and how can i help him through it and be supportive of him without being super pushy. will i have to keep a close eye on him and ask him all the time how he's doing? i have never helpoed anyone over an addiction...so i really dont know what to expect...soem one please help me
(link)
When i quit it only took me about 4 days before i kept really really craving them, but i was never a really serious smoker. I was just really edgy, irritable and restless, so my best advice is that if he seems a little more rude than usual, just put up with it and try to act supportive. It will really help him out in the long run.


im 15 and a sophomore in highschool and i'm over weight. Im not gunna say how much cuz i don't feel confortable saying it but it's quite a bit. I'v lost 30 pounds beofre but most ofit came back and its really hard. The strange thing is im pretty athletic and im even faster then some of the small girls n my school. I'm tired of being fat and of people making fun of me sumtimes. It makes me hate myself and sometimes i juss wanna die. I dont remember a time in my life when i was really actually happy. I know that if i lose alotta weight. I try but i never get to far. I'm eating better then u use to but now i just stay the same weight gaining or loseing 2 or 3 pounds. I never throw up so doing bulimia is outta the question. I dunno what else to do. (link)
Most people don't really know whats good for you and whats not good for you. Due to a lot of things on tv and in magazines recently, people think that low carb is the way to go. Unfortunately you can't do any kind of long-term exercise without carbs. If you want to know the specifics of why leave one in my inbox cause it will take a long explanation. The best advice i can give you is just to leave you a few facts. Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does. So a really fat person weighing 200 lbs would lose weight slower than a really muscular person weighing 200 lbs. Saturated fats are much worse than normal fats. A person weighing 140 lbs burns approximately 100 calories per mile that they run no matter what the pace. I've got more stuff to just keep in mind, just tell me if you want them.


im 14..female and i weigh 124 lbs...i hav curves definatly...well im nto happy with my body..i want to be size 00 and small...all the guys like small gurls..i look like a cow in a bathing suit and am starting to get cellulate on thighs/butt...i feel fat in anything i wear now...my point is is that im thinkin about going annorexic...bc i have a really pretty face and a ugly body if i go annorexic i will be pretty...maybe not full blown annorexic..but like not alot of food...a little bites here and there...but not alot @ all...and not makeing myself throw up..just not eating....how soon do u think i will lose weight...plz dont say "dont do this blah blah" bc i just want to know how much weight do u think i will lose in 2wks? plz answer that ?!! (link)
Um, you will lose some weight. The fact is that if you don't eat the weight will come off. I guess in two weeks you'll lose about 10 lbs, thats only if you don't eat much and the things you do eat are very low in fat. What happens when you do something like become anorexic is your body goes into starvation mode and starts conserving everything as fat, so when you do eat, or if you ever stop being annorexic, the weight will come right back and then a lot more, so my prediction is that you will lose about 10-15 lbs, and then gain 30-40 back. I'm not saying don't do it, just make sure that you watch what you do eat once you lose the weight.


Ok,i like this boy but were friends and all.Really good friends.But like everytime we talk i get so into the conversation and just want 2 blurt out that i like him.Should I??

Signed NEED HELP FAST! (link)
Yeah, just tell him. If you don't tell him the he'll never know.


ohh my how do you get rid of a large scab on your face in a mattter of a few days!! I really really really need advice, its not huge but, it just makes a difference and i feel like its all that people are looking at! Please help me! (link)
just dont pick it, you could pick it and put some of that fake skin stuff over it, but im just warning you, that stuff hurts like crazy, but it will make it look more natural. If your a girl i guess you could put make up on it, but im a guy so dont ask me what kind or how to apply it.


okayy theres this guy that i like and i think he likes me cuz hes always like lets be partners and we do this card swap thing and hes like hey find the card that matches mine and switch with them so we can be together...ha i think he does but how do i know for sure..haha (link)
He likes you, well, just imply that you'd like to go on a date sometime. If he asks you then it's a yes, if not, don't lose hope, maybe he's just a little shy.


me and my friend are on a diet and it doesnt seem ti be working! we have tried the fruits and veggies diet but i doesnt help at all! (link)
Exercise is a better way to lose weight than just diet, try watching saturated fats and things like that. Trust me, if you can start running four miles a day or so, you wont be able to keep the weight on.


Do you all know any acne face washes that work really well? (I don't really have sensitive skin)
- Flawed Face (link)
I use dove daily facials and seabreeze astringent. I always had acne problems and things like stridex and clearasil never worked, but this seems to do the trick.


i hate my body .. like.. im 5'0'' nd i wiegh like.. 140.. but im muscular nd all .. but like.. i could lose wieght.. nd i needa find ways to lose weight.. what kinda excersises work.. FAST.. and like.. to top it off i have like the slowest motablisim lol.. so that sucks.. but im in alot of sports.. but it seems like them never lose any thing

grr so i just need a lil help here lol.. thanks! (link)
well, running is always an excellent exercise. at your weight, you would burn approximately 100 calories per mile. So if you run 5 miles a day, then that adds up to 3500 calories weekly, and thats close to two days extra as far as eating goes. If you have joint problem though, then walking has almost the same benefits and biking is a great exercise because it has relatively no impact. As far as diets, just watch out for things with high saturated fat. Your body needs carbs for any kind of endurance, so I strongly suggest you avoid low carb diets. My mom actually had tremendous success on weight watchers. It takes a while to get used to, but she lost 25 pounds and has kept it off for 3 years now. It costs money, but you can just pay once and get the book, you dont have to go to all the meetings and stuff. Those really do help keep you motivated though.


ok theres this guy that i met online ad we talked and stuff and i sorta like him and he likes me and we talk on the phone everynight now he wants to meet me do u think i should meet him (link)
it depends on what your age is, if your really young, then no, but if your in your like say in your 20s and feel like you know and trust this guy really well, then i say go for it. I advise taking a friend with you the first time though.


I have this friends and I really like her like more than a friend. A couple of months after we became friends I asked her out but she thought that it would be better if we stayed friends. After that was said, we became much closer and im kinda getting signals. what should I do, I really like her? (link)
I was in this situation a year or two ago. Just ask her out on a date or something. Go to a restaurant and then go for a walk while the sun sets, at some point try to hold her hand, its the easiest way to tell if she likes you. If she accepts it then she does, and if she doesn't then its pretty easy to just play it off and you lose nothing.


Ok well....I like this guy lets say mike* and his friends name is steven. Well i like mike* and steven is always saying that hes better then mike*and that i shouldnt like him bcuz hes a player. BUt wut im realli confused about is y is steven sayin that? does he like me? bcuz i kno mike* isnt a player. Help! i rate! (link)
yeah, that guy likes you. He's hoping you'll take his advice and not date this other guy. He also hopes that you'll start wanting him, the guy sounds queer, i did that once, like in 4th grade.


i had sex with a guy a few times and now im looser down there. is there any way to get things back to how it used to be before i did anything with him ? (link)
these people are slow. I've heard that things like yoga and pilates make it tighter. Also, strangely, belly dancing is supposed to. Any groin exercises wouldn't hurt.


ok....my friend right now is suppose to help me hook up w/ this guy from our school...so far everything is good... he says im very attractive and he asked for my sn so i could talk to him some more and get to knw me. This always happens that when i finally get what i would like something goes wrong, like i get unsatisfied or he just says "i don't wanna gf right now" what can i do or say to make this time diffrent... anything i should do to catch his eye? (link)
just flirt, act interested in hanging out with him outside of school. Talk to him yourself instead of making your friend do all the work.


I am only 15 and I already have a kid and pretty much my life is ruined.I hate bein a mom at 15 it really sucks.The father of my child is wonderful though.He helps and supports my child as much as he can although both of our lives are pretty much over.I can't stand gettin up every 2 hours to feed her.I really regret getting in bed with the father.It was the stupidest thing ive ever done.I now hate my life.I have a beautiful baby but a messed up life.I ruined my life to fast.I should have waited till I was older and well now I just don't know what to do.I love my baby very much but im just not so sure that i can handle raising a child along with going to school and working to pay for the expences of my child....Plz someone help me.I really need to know what to do.I don't wanna give it to an adoption center but that might be my only choice.I really need some advice so someone plz help.

Desperate for my life back and confused!! (link)
Keep the baby. It's going to be hard for you, but it will be even harder for the kid if she grows up with parents that she can't call her own. Work two jobs if you have to, but don't drop out. Staying in school is really your only option to give this baby any kind of future. You will eventually have to pay its way through college and you need to go yourself or you won't be able to afford it. Look on the bright side though. By the time your 35, the baby will be grown and you'll have the rest of your life free to enjoy. Most people spend well into their 50s taking care of their children. Remember, what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.

just talk to you boyfriend. Ask him if he's worried about it, and either way tell him he has nothing to wory about because you love him and wouldnt even consider hooking up with his friend.

first decide who you like more, then tell the person. That's not a solution, but it's a step in the right direction.
