Q: 12 turning 13 / Female

Ok, so I'm in seventh grade and so is this other guy. Here's the story, he's from another school but we still see eachother everyday because our schools do 7thand 8th grade sports together so we go to waterpolo practice everyday. he's really funny and everry single guy is friends with him. Plus, its not like I'd ever feel awkward around him because I'm surpirisingly used to seeing guys in speedos everyday (im on a lot of swim teams) :) anyway so yeah just to give you an idea of him- great body, blonde, blue eyes, and his name is that of a sad taylor swift song about a little boy. He's reaally nice the only bad thing is this- my friends think he's weird. in the, always kinda hyper wierd. -his nickname's little creeper.- :) haha well anyway it's just that my friend is always saying how he's aalways staring at me and at our last game he smiled at me and then his friend asked me for my name and when I asked why he said oh, {his name} just wants to know. and at picture day he was standing next to me and my friends and then one of his friends said, 'wait which one?' and he was like, 'ssh! and he pulled them aside and when I 'casually' looked over they were looking at me. :) and then later at practice I accidentally hit him in the head with a ball and he yelled, 'ow who did that!' but when I said 'oh sorry that was me' he smiled and said it was ok. and then later when he wasjust fooling around throwing the ball on the roof and catching it when it came backdown I was underther roof of the canopy and he was looking at me the whole time and when I looked at him I blushed and looked away and I think he smiled.
If you truly like him it doesn't matter what your friends say, if there truly your friends they'll understand, but because your young and i guess your friends are too they might not understand. hopefully they do. when i was in school i had friends like that, but i didn't care, i would listen but i didn't respond because i knew what i wanted and i knew that if they cared for me they'd care for my feelings as well. I know you love your friends and you don't want to lose them but do what you want to, but don't push your friends away. i did that to my friends, sad to say but some deserved it and some didn't. remember who your friends are and remember who you are, and do what you feel is right, consider your friends thoughts but follow yours. he sounds sweet and maybe your friends will think so too one day.

Q: ive been with my boyfriend for almost a year . and he is really jealous . he deleted all my guy contacts , he made me unfollow all my guy friends , and he deleted all m guy friends off of facebook. he takes me phone away when im infront of my friends . i really do ove him . but i just cant dont what to do ! we have talked about it , he says he cant trust me cause i lied to him Once ! What do i do ?
Try to understand him more, study him, see what ticks him off, and do the opposite. this worked for me when i was in your situation. relationships can change for the better, as you learn more about him, you'll slowly learn how to gain his trust. show him your all his make sure he knows you love him and only him. i honestly think he's over protective, but it could be an emotional problem maybe he's insecure and has had previous relationship problems, and now with you maybe he doesn't want things from his past to repeat itself because he cares for you. Greatest thing for you to do is to show him he can trust you, this will be hard. for me this was the hardest times of my life i cried so many times because i would try so hard to get him to trust me but, it didn't seem to work everytime.
sometimes seperation helps, not like taking a break or anything but like a school trip or a vacation. this helped me although during my trip i had never cried so much in my life, because his trust sunk so low he almost dumped me, but the thought of not seeing me so long and then finally seeing me again changed his trust for me a little.

honestly find ways and try, don't give up. its gonna be hard but if you truly love him you gotta keep going. what i did to finally gain his trust was understanding what he liked to hear and what he didn't, then i told myself what would he say. because most of the time a human will interpret something the way they would say it. so after that i would decide to say it or not. i really changed the way i spoke and said things only if they needed to be said.

but understand that all relationships are different and the ways to fix it are as well. you'll find a way. not to scare you or anything but it took me 4 years to get him to trust me enough for us to be in a normal loving relationship. but you only lied to him, i was talking to another guy, but i never met him. if what you lied to him about isn't that bad then maybe you'll be able to gain his trust must faster than i did.

good luck

Q: most of the times when i smoke weed i dont feel anything.
how do you smoke? do you inhale all the smoke?
If you are at least 18 and have a medical problem from things as minor as a back ache to as major as cancer or worse you can get medical marijuana which is the same thing its just its not illegal, but there are restrictions like: you only can have 7 plants at most growing, you can only smoke on your property and cannot bring the marijuana anywhere else, and of course you cannot sell it. most people don't follow these rules. now after inhaling give at least 5 seconds before exhaling at the least try to hold it as long as you can, for first time only take about 3 hits and wait for it to kick in. i don't reccomend it unless of course your allowed to.

Q: i'm 18 and still a virgin. i'm definetly not ashamed of it, actually i'm kinda proud. its not like i'm ugly, actually alot of people are surprised or don't believe me that i'm still a virgin i just refuse to give my virginity to someone who doesn't deserve it and i haven't met anyone worth giving it to yet (i know i'm old fashioned but whatever). i've had a few boyfriends and definetly many opportunities but i just didn't want to. but i feel like everyone my age and even a little younger has had sex. when i hang out with certain friends thats all they talk about. i mean somethings i can contribute because i've done everything else except actual intercourse. but i just feel like i'm alone. is there anyone out there my age virgins?
Yes, not me but i have a friend. she's 18 years old as well and she's just like you she wants to give it to someone who she really loves and cares about and someone she knows won't take advantage of her. i'm going to be 17 i'm not a virgin but i only had sex with one person and still am, since i was 15 years and 3 days old... LOL. but you know you're above everyone who has gave it up when they weren't ready and you know maybe one day i will regret it but i made the decision that i was ready that was with my current boyfriend and i hope i will never regret i hope he will be my first and my last but only time will tell, we waited a year before we actually did it and the time that i did it was the time that i was ready and trust me when your time comes you will know, just promise me that you will fall in love before you do it and i mean IN LOVE!!! like head over heals, give my all, unconditional Love.
Good Luck

Q: 17/f
So my boyfriend asked me today if it was okay if he went out to eat with one of his "girl" friends, just them two. I said okay. The thing is, after i said that i found out they used to talk and thats why him and his ex girlfriend used to fight, because of her. I've been dating him for about a month now and im still finding things out about him. He treats me really good though. The only thing is, i got a little mad at the fact that he used to like her because i seen what hes said about her pictures on facebook and he was giving her plenty of compliments. I've also seen them text while we have been hanging out before. He's so nice and i know he would never do anything to hurt me intentionally. But i just don't know what to do, because it makes me upset.
I think that you can't trust him, but you know a month is not that long and its perfectly fine that you're still finding things out about him i mean he has years of life before you that you don't know you can't expect him to tell you everything so soon and I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and still finding things out slowly and even couples together for 20 years are still finding things out about each other, honestly this situation is very confusing because i would say that if you trust him that much then let it go, but you know you can't really trust someone so easily in just a month and just because you feel he won't hurt doesn't mean he won't, its a lot easier to leave someone after they hurt you when you're with him for a short period of time, but when you guys are together for long it gets hard, so i would make your decision or fix things up soon or your gonna be hurt more than you hoped. good luck

Q: Hi, My name is Marissa, I'm 16 and I need a little advice..
So, I have this friend named Ian, him and I have been friends for a period of 4 years and we were super close. While we were friends I completly fell inlove with him, although I wouldn't admit it to anybody. He liked me too. He once told me so too. But I was stupid and told him that I didn't like him that way.
Now, at the beginning of the month, he asked one of my bestfriend out, her name is Kelsey. It was completly out of the blue, nobody would have expected it since everyone thought we both really liked eachother.
They're really happy together,they've only been going out for about a month now but they have both decided they wanted it to last, so their trying their best to make it work.
Neither Kelsey or Ian know how I actually feel, not a lot of people do. But I like him so much. And I find it hard to go to school everyday seeing them together.
Now recently a guy named Connor told me he liked me. I kinda like him too and he's supposed to ask me out. Although I kinda don't want him to cause I told him I liked him back but now I don't know anymore because I still have strong feelings for Ian.
I don't expect you to understand fully, but if you can offer any kinda of advice let me know, its really appreciated.
Well Marissa i want to tell you how i feel about it honest and i don't want you to feel as i am talking in a bad way because i'm not. I feel that you ruined you're chances but don't give up because you know you're only 16 and i'm guessing that he and you're friend are around that age, so maybe they might not last as long as they feel they are. but sorry to say but don't hold on too strong either because they could last, you never know. All you can do now is wait and hope for the better or the worse depending on what is what to you. i hope everything works out and i'm sorry if or that i couldn't answer you're question as well as you wanted. i hope that i didn't make it harder but instead gave you less confusion. now with that guy, let me ask you this: do you feel what you felt with Ian when your with Connor or Do you think you could anytime in the future? Think about it and maybe your answer could help you.

Q: Im 16 and going into my junior year of high school. I haven't been going out with my gf very long, but I wanted to do something to show her she's special to me and I really care about her. I don't want to spend a lot and i don't wanna hav sex cause I want to wait until I'm married. All I want is for her to be happy.
that is so sweet, your a great boyfriend. honestly i dont think anyone should decide something like that besides you. if it were you getting something from her what would you want, im sorry i know you wouldnt want anything as long shes happy. but maybe you do somethiing that can help you too, do something you know will make her smile, and honestly she is very special because she has a caring boyfriend that not everyone can get. good luck

Q: i woke up this morning and had a very weird feeling in my stomache but i tried to sleep it off..after an hour i went to go to the bathroom and then i felt the need to throwup. im almost positive my last period was memorial day weekend..but im not entirely sure. i dont have any symptoms of morning sickness, just that i threwup. but after i threwup i felt fine, just a little queasy still but able to do stuff. imhoping its a stomache virus, but i dont have a fever..i did eat 3 hot dogs for lunch yesterday though and ice cream and 3 tacos and cheese cake..maybe im just sick right?
yea, dont worry about it its okay. it could be that your sick but it could also be that your pregnant take a test thats all i can say.

Q: Dear LiseJose, i noticed you do alot of sex questions so i have to ask you for my help, i have started having sex last week but now i am scared to, i use protection thanks to you, i read your answers to people and i take your advice. you are the only person i trust and i want to know why i'm scared, i think i'm afraid of getting pregnant or maybe i'm worried it will hurt, it didn't the first time, i just don't know? i'm scared and confused can you help me please! i'm desperate.
well zalalia, maybe your scared because you read the things i say to people, but listen just because i say them it doesnt mean it could be directed to you, yes you could get pregnant but your using protection so its okay dont worry too much, if it didn't hurt before then it sshouldnt hurt again, so stop being scared, just dont have sex again unless you know your ready okay.

thank you for asking me personally by the way.

Q: I just got out of year long relationship on memorial day. Me and the guy are friends and my friends will not let me go back to him. I really like this other guy names Andy but he is my friends cousin and I don't know what to do. When he first moved here she told him everyone he could not date and I was on the list and she told me we couldn't.we agreed because we hadn't met yet and when we did we spent a lot of time just look at each other. He told me he liked me after my boyfriend broke up with me but he lives about 3 hours away. He also ran out of mins so its been 2 days since we talked. Would it be wrong to date him with the distance and the friend who said we couldn't? and is it really to soon for me to move on?
first of all, what really pisses me off is that you have horible friends... why should they decide your love life and why do you let them, its not up to anyone but you, so if you want to go back out with your old boyfriend then go for it, once again: why do you let your friends decide just because hes your friends cousin doesnt mean you cant go out with him, if she was your friend she wouldnt care infact she would be happy. naturally distance shouldnt be a problem its up to you, if you can handle driving for hours every once in awhile. if you cant do it and your afraid of you guys drifting then dont be with him, but whats a few hours compared to a life time right? not to be mean but alot of these things you shouldnt be asking, i've noticed your the type to rely on people, and its okay but sometimes you let people make your decisions, dont let it happen again, might not seem like it but if you make your own decisions the answers are always there. i hope everything goes good and you make the right decision and i hope i helped a little, im not the person that gives you the answer but i give you easier options so i hope i helped. and i hope you make the right decision by yourself, by the way every decision you make will always be the right one for you, atleats at the time. please remember to think it through so you are positive its what you want. have a nice day.

Q: ok here's the thing im a 20 y.o female, ive been in some relationships but never had sex, that was basically my rule like anything but sex.. not because of religion issues, but more like as in i have the biggest fear of getting pregnant, im still a university student , couldn't deal with a baby right now ... im in a relationship right now with someone i care and love very very much, and i know i want to have sex with him, and i know id have birth control and condoms, but still i have this huge fear , but i really really want to do never been more sure about this. like is it really probably to get pregnant that way? or what is ur recomendation for this ?
don't worry about it if you have condoms and birth control... don' be too worried.. just don't forget that you always need to wear protection, anyways just make sure u know ur ready

Q: So I like this boy, and he told me that he's taking AP Physics next year and that's really the main reason that inspired me to take it. Am I insane for doing this? I mean, I AM smart and highly motivated...Is this a "good" thing that I've done? I mean isn't it possible that a crush can inspire you to work harder and improve yourself in life? That's how I feel when I think of him. After wasting my time on a guy that only brought misery to my life (in terms of a semi self-destructive relationship) I want something more. I have such big dreams for my future and I know it sounds silly but my crush really does inspire me. A part of me thinks that this makes me some obsessive creep and that I might be in over my head. But the more I think of the class I think about how interesting it will be. All my high school career I've been chickening out of advanced math and science mainly out of fear. So I don't know, is this a good idea?
there is nothing wrong with that. even love can inspire you, and if he inspires you to do better in life then maybe he's good to have around.

Q: Tell me if this is normal because i'm freaking out.

I'm a 17 year old girl. Junior in High school. I still can't wear tampons. Is that bad?? I only wear pads and i've tried soooooo many times to try tampons but they hurt too badly and feel weird all the time and i just overall hate them. I feel so different. like other girls can handle sex and stuff, but i can barely put in a tampon! is something wrong with me?? It will be a year with my boyfriend in May and he's always wondering why I don't want him to finger me. If i tell him, or anybody for that matter, i'll be so embarrassed and feel like i'm so different than everybody.

Helppp i'm desperate.. everytime i try, i start crying in frustration because it NEVER works out. I get about an inch in, and then it starts to feel weird and gross.

If it helps, i'm terrified of needles. so i think that putting in a tampon reminds me of a needle going in me. do you think that could be a reason??
there is nothing wrong with that that happens to alt of people, i have a cousin that has alot of sex but she still hurts when puting on tampons. for me i love tampons they don't hurt me but before i did and when i lost my virginity, they slipped right in. some people are able to get it in but then it hurts when taking it out. everyone's different. don't worry hopefully one day it won't hurt.

Q: Hey! 131/2 f (Long..i'm sorryy)

I met this awesome guy (Jimmy)last week at the public pool with my friend. We thought he was cute. ha ha :) He thought the same thing and we talked and everything we had fun together. After that day we started texting and talking on the phone and stuff like that. Well i found out that he liked me,and i was SOOO happy because i really like him to. Well we text each other and..he talks dirty. ha ha I also do.. but not LIKE he does, i just say makeout..and stuff like that but he wants to "Do" me. ha ha ;) Well i saw him again today at the pool..with his friend Erica (she's also my friend)i think he knew that i was going..because he didn't act like he was suprized that i was there. Well i went with my cousins and i had to watch them. I didn't talk to them until probably a half an hour than i started talking to them. We were having so much fun. We played a joke on him, and when we were walking away from him he followed because we were going to go swimming together. He started massaging my shoulders IT FELT SO GOOD !! Ha ha. I think he might of untied my bathing suit top a little bit?? I'm not sure though because i was giving my cousins piggy back rides. Well after we got in the pool Erica asked jimmy if i could lick him anywhere. I said i wanted to lick him to her..AS A JOKE, and he said " ;) anywhereee?? Suree". He said. well..i didn't. Well he put his arm my waist and picked me up and dunked me in the pool (safely ha ha) He did that twice. It was cute
that kind of guy will just break your heart. he's a christian you said, yea right you should be careful, he doesn't really like you just watch what you do.

Q: ok so my bf and i were messing around yesterday and he was hard but he told me that he wasn't about to nut, and i wasn't wet at all, so i got on him for literally like three seconds, and then got back off and his dick felt kind of wet, like he had nutted just a little bit, but he swore that he hadn't at all, because he said he wasn't even close to nutting. he said that it was probably wet because i had gotten wet but, and that it definitely wasn't cum. so my question is, is it possible for that to just have been me getting wet, even though it was only 3 seconds that i was on him? can i get wet in just three seconds?
if you knew you weren't wet them you probably weren't. pre- cum can happen as soon as a guy gets hard. even though its pre-cum it still has millions of sperm. not as much as actual cum but you still have a risk at getting pregnant. if your really worried get checked if not than just be carful before it happens

Q: Im a female and only thirteen but has had sex for the first time with someone i thought i really liked and i thought he really liked me back. But like after we did he told everybody lies and stuff like saying I was gonna cry and stuff. I will admit it hurt really really badly but i wasn't gonna cry. Also he broke up with me and now it feels like i have the weight of the world on my shoulders because i know he is gonna tell everybody but i feel really guilty because of my mom and i wanna tell her but shes all i have and I dont wanna hurt her. So should I tell her? and if i do how can I?
yes you should tell her, but start off slow and tell her what happened at first make it sound like its his fault and in the end if its your fault at all let her know. but don't blame yourself because things happen like that alot and from the story i'm hearing that guys a jerk. i hope that you used a condom because that kind of guy sounds like he does that alot. i really want to help you more and your welcome to email me at lisejose_advicenators@yahoo.com

don't be afraid to ask me anything and i hope everything goes great with your mom. i know your afraid of telling her but she will be happy that you told her. just be careful of the next time because you'll never know. please email me.

Q: Hey okay I've recently heard this, is it true that boys are okay with inexperienced girls? That they like the "innocent type"? We're talking never been kissed...

sometimes yes and sometimes no.. innexperienced means tighter. experienced means well that there experienced

Q: ive been with the same guy for 3 years. im 16, almost 17. weve been incepreibal for years and nothing could keep us away from eachother. weve broken up a few times, and evertime we always come crawling back to eachother. but last week, he told me he doesnt feel the same anymore and wants to be friends until he finds out what he wants. this is becasue weve been fighting like crazy, and things arent the same anymore. i love him so much its unreal, and i told him today im ready to be with him, and he said he doesnt want a girlfriend right now and wants to be single. i dont know what to do like i just feel like dying. ive always been a true believer of love, but this is killing me inside. we have the type of relationship where if i go somewhere he gets jealous and vice versa. i guess it came to the point that he cant take it anymore. i really cany stop crying. can anyone relate? i just need advice on anything. i would give the world for him. he said he loves me more than anything in the world. i know he does but hes i guess "doing this for himself" i need comfort, advice, anything. ive been through this so many times but i feel like this is the last draw. ive been thinking about the quote "follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow". im a strong believeer in that, but i just dont know if i should move on or not. im sorry if this is long by the way. he said hed let me know if he wants to be with me again. but i dont want to sit here and wait for him. idk. please help me like any advice is fine..
me and my boyfriend are going through the same thing and i know it hurts. let him have his time but dont give up on him. 3 years and im sure he still loves you he just needs to be redirected. find a way to show him that he does love you to where he can say it and mean it. at the same time make sure he knows you love him. see me and my boyfriend have trust issues and he had a really hard life and hes really insecure and sometimes he thinks i dont love him so just make sure you let him know you do. dont be too much in his face but dont go too far away. if its just the fighting that made him feel this way maybe he just is afraid of being hurt. you guys have been together for a while and you should be able to sit him down and talk it may hurt but if theres tears then its real. just show him hes special and make sure he knows everything.

Q: Where I work, I have to wear a phone headset for 12 hours at a time. Needless to say, when I finish with work, I've got huge dents in the sides of my hair, and it looks really dumb.

My hair is about 2 inches past my shoulders, layered, extremely thick and straight. It will not stay in a ponytail, so unfortunately that's not an option.

Does anyone have any tips on hairstyles that work well with headsets, but still look professional?
try a tight bun tat sticks to your scalp so that dents arent necessary. its stylish and when your done work it still looks beautiful, but try not to move your headset that much that might loosen the bun.

I am 18. I like giving advice about love, I feel as though i have a clear idea of love in some ways, at the same time as i feel love is not explainable i can explain it, but in weird ways. I also like to give advice about sex questions, although i'm a big hypocrite when it comes to this topic, I always say the right things although i do the wrong ones. there are a few topics that i answer that aren't in my favorite categories but if the question interests me then i answer it. I hope you can trust me and i hope you can appreciate what i can try to do to help you.
