Hey. I'm so close...so close to killing myself. Everyday I have to FIGHT not to, its the hardest thing i've ever done. My mom knows... im seeing 3 colnsulars.. but nothing helps. Nothing at all makes me want to live anymore. It hurts to talk, it hurts to smile... I've stopped doing everything i used to love. Nothing can make me happy. I don't want to hurt my friends though, their the only ones keeping me from..ehh. If you cant help me, please do.. (link)

Hi hon,
I recently went through something like this. I was so close to just ending it. You're definitely not alone. However, think about this: Suicide is permanent. Sleep is temporary. Do things that keep your mind off suicide. Lay down, and watch TV until you fall asleep. Also: if one of your friends calls, would you rather have your mom say "Oh, (s)he is asleep" or -cry- "(s)He committed suicide last night."
Also, try visiting a psychiatrist. I've been to one of those. Millions of people visit them each year, it's something that is not to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong with medication for illnesses, and a mental problem is just as much an illness as say, the flu.
Good luck hon, and stay strong!

I'm re-doing my entire room & I've been looking for new beddings but I can't find anything. I want to try to find a bedding that has some red in it because red is my favorite color. I tried looking at JcPenneys, Target, Dillards, Sears, & Bed Bath & Beyond. If anyone knows any other sites, let me know. I'll rate high. Thanks =] (link)

Online, you could try www.wakeupfrankie.com
They have a lot of cool bedding for teens. =)
Good luck!

Hello. My name is Kacie. My boyfriend and I have been together for about seven years now, so we are sexually active at this point. However, my boyfriend is in an advertising company and has to travel most of the time. So when he's gone, we have phone sex together. But everytime we have sex hard and fast, I end up bleeding because I keep hitting a bump which I think is the cervix but I am really unsure. What do you think might be causing my bleeding? PS: I do not use toys or anything when having phone sex with him. Thank you so much. - Kacie (link)

Actually, I misread that at first.
When you have phone sex hard and fast and you're actually inserting your fingers, it's possible that you can get a cut, perhaps from a fingernail. You may not even feel the cut, and it may not hurt. However, it can bleed.
ALSO: The bump you feel may be one of two things - your cervix or your pubic bone. If you feel this bump around three to four inches in, at the top of your vagina, it's your cervix. If you feel it nearly upon entering the vagina, it's more than likely your pubic bone.
Good luck!

ok so i have acne and i've tried some stuff but its not working.. its not that bad but still i'd like for it 2 b gone.. so wat do i do? (link)
|
I've found that foaming antibacterial soap from Dial works, in a combination with Oxy pads works quite well. Also, use an exfoliating scrub on your face at least once every two days. My face used to break out horribly until I started this cheap, but effective method.
Good luck!

i shaved "down there" once before and i got red bumps were i shaved, does anyone know how i can prevent these bumps or any other advice to do it? i would greatly apreciate any answers, ill rate high, thanks (link)
|
That's called razor burn. If you want to minimize these bumps, shave with soap and warm water, and after, use a light moisturizing lotion, but not near the vaginal opening, as that could cause infections. Also, you could try shaving in the direction the hairs grow.
Good Luck!

Hey. Im 17 years old, and my boyfriend is 21 years old. We live together and everything, but one night, when we were having sex, we didnt even notice the condom slip off. Well, he came inside of me, and then we looked frantically for a condom we though was still on. The next day it came out of me, but there was no cum in it or anything. it was as clear as it was when it first came on. Also, im not on birth control. It has been 2 weeks since, and I was just wondering if there is any chance of getting pregnant. Also, it was only 2 or 3 days after my period. So, can i? (link)

It IS possible. And since you're a teen, your ovulation time could be whack still.
You say two or three days after your period, but are you meaning two or three days after the last day of your period, or the first day it started?
If you mean two or three days after the last day of your period, it's quite possible. On a 28-30 day cycle, you'll ovulate generally between days 12-16 after the FIRST day of your period.
If you meen two of three days after your period FIRST started, then it's FAR less likely.
In a full out ejaculation, sperm can live in the uterus for five days, which is more than enough time for you to ovulate.
In this situation, the best choice would have been to get Emergency Contraception, but it's far too late for that.
All in all, it IS possible. If/when your period is late, buy a box of pregnancy tests and test.
Good luck!

I have a really cute guy friend name"Brock Bumbarger" & we have been friends for 3 years now. We hang out all the tim, and go to the movies together!! Last august on my 15th b-day he kissed me, like making out wise & ever since then I have been confused. Everyone says we should just admit we like each other. I so want to tell him how i feel, but i am scared he might reject me & I would know what to do if he did. What should I do? (link)
|
Perhaps you should talk to one of his friends and get the scoop on this guy. Find out from his friend if he really does have feelings for you. If you find out he has feelings for you, Go for it! Ask him out! Be bold! Be brave! :) And if you find out that he doesn't have feelings for you, don't change anything and continue to be friends with this guy!
Good Luck!

Is there any way to make your body type (like small, med., large)? And if there is how? I am 13/f and I have recently lost some weight and I want my body type to be a little smaller if its even possible (link)
| |
Your body type depends on your skeleton itself, which cannot be changed. Unfortunately the only way to make yourself smaller is to lose weight, and at thirteen, if you're not morbidly obese you shouldn't be doing that so soon. It can interfere with your development.

do you think i should be scared to use a tampon? I'm 13 and this will be my first time. I'm afraid I'm going to put it in wrong. Will it hurt?I keep telling myself that i can do it but then i back out. (link)
| |
Hi sweetie, I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was thirteen. Don't worry though. If you're really wanting to use tampons, first, have you or your mom buy you a box of the slimmer ones. The ones I found most useful were Tampax Satin Teen. Before trying to use one, look at the little pamphlet that comes with the box; it tells you how to insert the tampon. Tampons are not intended to hurt and don't when inserted correctly.

HEY I WAS WONDERING.. WHAT IS LUST?? AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM LOVE? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
♥ (link)
|
Lust is ONLY a desire for actions of a sexual nature. You could be "in lust" with someone, such as a famous star. You could want to have sexual intercourse with that celebrity, but you are surely not in love with them.
Love, on the otherhand, is a emotional, sometimes sexual, and physical connection made with someone. It's a very hard topic to describe.

Okay I've been with this guy for about six months and we just recently broke up. When we broke up I asked him if it was over completely and he said no. Now I am wondering what I should do? Should I wait on him or should I choose to move on? I still like him a whole lot and he still likes me but I'm not sure if I should wait and see what happens. This is the second time we've broke up. What do I do? I live in California and there is so many guys that are hot here. (link)
|
I've definitely been through that. Quite recently actually, with my 14 month relationship.
That said, why is he breaking up with you in the first place if it's not over completely? One of the few reasons I can think of is to hook up with other girls, and get back with you, so he can technically not be labeled a cheater. If you discover the reasons for this "break" are indeed what I just said, I say you need to move on. This guy will continue to break your heart.
However, if for some other odd reason this is happening, go by the three strikes rule. This is his second strike, his second time breaking up with you, and his third chance is coming to make it final. If you guys get back together and break up a third time, I would say to move on. You're just going to get your heart broken.

Why do atheists believe there is no God? I hear a lot of arguments against organized religion but I don’t hear many actual ‘reasons’ that there is not or cannot possibly be a God? So what are thier reasons? (link)
|
I am an atheist. Many reasons exist why I don't believe there is a god. Personally, I feel "god" is a made up character, like Santa, or the Easter bunny. The bible, to me, is a fairy tale that people have taken too seriously. I feel that the theory of evolution is FAR more plausible than intelligent design.
Also, why do you believe what you believe? Probably because it's how you've been brought up and because you want to as well. We atheists don't believe in any religion because we have found other reasons to prove our existance and thus disprove the existance of a god, in our opinions. Hope that helped a bit.
