I AM 23 YEARS OLD. MANY PEOPLE COME TO ME FOR ADVICE. I GUESS U CAN SAY I AM WELL TRUSTED.

I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM "PERFECT"... TRUST, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES BUT I BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS FIXABLE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION, BUT...

YOU GIVE ME BULLSHIT, I WILL THROW IT BACK AT YOU.

IF YOU HAVE GENUINE CONCERN, YOU WILL GET AN HONEST AND WELL THOUGHT ANSWER.

IT DOESNT GET ANY REALER THAN THIS!!

advice

I have a girlfriend that I have been going out with for 14 months. She lives 2 hours away and I see her almost every weekend- I either take her back to my house or I stay at her house for the weekend. Things have typically gone fine until about two months ago. We have fought more and more. I am friends with my ex's uncle, and this bothers her tremendously. However, me and him are good friends and I am not planning on stopping hanging out with him because he is an awesome guy and in some ways my idol. Anything that has to do with my ex girlfriend, my girlfriend is totally against it, even though I am totally over avoiding my ex and we have even somewhat become friends. My current girlfriend and I started going out approximately three weeks after my last relationship, which lasted 10 months and was my first love- quite a painful experience although I am over it and I feel like it taught me a lot. I am just not sure what to do about this whole situation. I feel like I am growing more distant from my current girlfriend the less time I spend with her, and I feel like I want to experience other women someday, and I feel like there are some things I need to explore and do on my own while I am single, while I can. I know she loves me like crazy and I love her too- I don't know if I want to lose her forever. I am only 20 though and I know I have my whole life ahead of me. Would someone please give me some insight on this?

You just answered your own question. you said you feel like seeing other women, so do what you feel. obviously all of your heart is not into your girl friend, otherwise you wouldnt be feeling that way. Dont make excuses and say its because you are young, love has no age, it is just what you want to do. Its time to break up with her. Yes, it will hurt her but life is about hurting and getting hurt. I promise you she will get through it. you cant stress on every decision you make by wondering who you're going to hurt. you have to do what is best for you.

I work at this job part time but its weird how they do a scedual becase there is none its all verbal .you just show up and if they need you they will put you on first come first serve so to speak but here is where it gets confusing since there is no written scedual would I get fierd for taking a day off like Sunday for instance .they say fridays and saturdays are manditory but sometimes they say sundays are too then they say sundays aren't. They can't make up ther mind because iv worked sundays before and half the people don't show up so if did take a Sunday off I'm afraid ill get fierd even though they don't have a written scedual .I mean if they realy needed me all they had to do is call me I live right across the street .so what do you think any body have an answer

tell them you want time off in advance and you are letting them know so you dont get fired or in any trouble. if they dont want to communicate a schedule with you then still communicate with them what you want so there is n confusion on your end.

Are you sexually active if you are take a pregnancy test. If not, then go see a doctor, get a well check up and tell him how you've been feeling.

I'm turning 18 soon and I've been planning on getting my belly button pierced and getting a tattoo under my breast. The only thing is that I'm not exactly skinny. I'm not overweight or anything but I'm not really happy with my weight, I'm kinda curvy so I don't feel comfortable showing of my stomach in bikinis or anything like that. So would getting a tattoo under my breast and getting my belly button pierced be stupid and pointless or should I do it anyway cause I want it? Also, would it look okay or gross since I'm not super skinny? Thanks in advance!

If you want it then get it. who cares what other people think. it matters only what you think. if you decide to show it off, then good for you, if you wanna keep it private thats okay too. If youre so uncomfortable with youre appearance then change it, work out until you are comfortable and then get the piercing n tattoo or decide to show it off. Whatever choice you make, just have no regrets. Life is about happiness.

I've known this guy like for ever. I've started to notice that I have feelings for him. I would like to tell him but I'm scare that he will regret me and I have no idea how to tell him. What should I do.

Tell him what you just asked all of us and wait for an answer. If the feeling is mutual then great!! If he doesnt see you that way then thats okay too. Life is about overcoming rejection. You will never know until you ask. And I know you dont want to spend the rest of your life wondering if you two could have been something. For all you know, he likes you too and is just as scared as you are. You will never know until you ask. Good luck!!

I really want to make the world a better place.
Where should I start.

Thats is a good goal.

Start with you. Be the best you can be at everything you like.
Be a good friend and a neighborly neighbor.
Recycle. Plant a tree.
Donate to the poor. Help the elderly.
Join a church.
Choose a career that involves helping others or volunteer for positive social events in your community.
Research peace corps if you're really seriously about making a difference.

so this guy (justin) and I were together for about a year. we were each other's first love. its been about a year or more that we haven't talked. I went to a party and ended up meeting one of his close friends(josh). Josh ends up wanting to hang out the next weekend, and tells me that Justin wants to come with his girl friend. Its really hard to get over your first love, and i still love justin. I want to go and hang out because it would be fun, but i'm really nervous because i might get a little jealous of the girl...but i don't really know what to do. what do you guys think about the situation? thanks for your feedback

You should not date you exes friend. There will always be bumping of heads with you and your ex, therefore always uncomfortable moments. This can cause trust issues between you and Josh and it is just not a good out look. You just admitted you still love Justin, so youre asking for trouble if you decide to date Josh. Don't test yourself, and put yourself in uncomfortable situations.

And if you are thinking of getting Justin back, I dont think that is a good idea either, Justin will never trust if you were thinking about dating his friend.

you know where you're heart is, work on that first and when you are really over Justin and ready to date again, find someone wayyyyyy out of his circle.

ok i havent started my period yet and i am 13 my mom says she will wait and take me to a doctor when i am 14 if i still havent started but i think i have an infection but i dont know can anyone tell me the steps before starting your period?PLEASE!!!!!!!!! like what will happen

thanks!

Ok, first matter at hand... if you think you have an infection you need to discuss that with your mother and see a gyno right away. i don't now why you think you have an infection because you really didn't specify, but if you are having any crazy symptoms "down there", like a funny color discharge or itchy or burning discomfort then GO TO A DOCTOR NOW. Don't be embarrassed, women are very sensitive and our body's are constantly going through changes.

Now, if you don't have any funky monkey business going on then the fact is that you will get your period when it comes. No doctor can specify when it will come. You might not get it when you're 14. One of my friends didn't get it until she was 16. She had been wearing a bra before all of us yet did not get her period until after all of us. Everyone is different.

For most girls, they will experience a lot of clearish whitish discharge. this can happen for months though, your body is dealing with a lot of hormones during puberty so a result is a lot of "moisture" down there. some girls get bad stomach cramps before it comes or their breast hurt a little.

BUT LIKE I SAID EVERY GIRL IS DIFFERENT. THESE SIGNS CAN COME FOR YOU OR THEY MAY NOT.

My best advice is don't stress it. It will come. Infact ,stress is bad too.. when I am very stressed, my period comes late.

Just relax, enjoy your youth... you will be a woman sooner than you think.

Hi.

I live with my boyfriend, and his mom. His sister had her son about a year ago, and we have a problem. He is all in all a good, healthy little boy who loves to have fun, but he also loves being picked up. If you hold him, and you try to put him down, he cries. If you put him in his play pen and leave him there, he screams at the top of his lungs.

It's been becoming a problem because he's almost 1 (he'll be 1 in like, a week) and he's bigger than most babies his age, and he's a lot heavier than them. It's difficult to carry him for long periods of time, and since my boyfriend's mom watches him while his mom is at work, she's become very exhausted. I would help out, but my boyfriend and I work a lot so we're not always home, and by time we do get home, we're worn out.

How can we wean the baby off of wanting to be carried? I love him, and hate seeing him cry, as does everyone else, but he's becoming too spoiled and too dependent on it and we're all very exhausted. I know we're very much at fault, but we're at our wits end. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I Have 2 CHILDREN. One girl 5 years old and one boy 3. BOTH BEYOND YOUR NEPHEWS AGE. I KNOW YOU BELIEVE THAT HIM BEING ALMOST 1 YEAR OLD MAKES HIM A "BIG BOY" IN CERTAIN WAYS, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS HE IS STILL A BABY. HE NEEDS TO BE HELD AND CUDDLED, SO WHEN HE ASKS FOR IT GIVE IT TO HIM. THEY ONLY STAY SO INNOCENT, NEEDY AND LOVABLE FOR SO LONG, SO TAKE ADVANTAGE!! :) MY KIDS WERE THE MOST SPOILED INFANTS AND I TOO STRUGGLED WITH TANTRUMS WHEN PUTTING THEM DOWN, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY GROW OUT OF IT. THEY BECOME DISTRACTED BY FUN TOYS OR TV AND WHAT NOT AND THEY CAN TOTALLY FORGET ABOUT YOU. I REMEMBER PRAYING FOR MY SON TO LET ME PUT HIM DOWN AND NOW HE IS 3 AND HE IS SO BUSY I HAVE TO LITTERALLY BUGG HIM FOR A KISS. MY 5 YEAR OLD TELLS ME SHE NEEDS "ME TIME', LOL. ALL IM SAYING IS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS NEEDINESS NOW BECAUSE IT IS PRECIOUS AND DOESNT LAST FOREVER.

AND IF YOU MUST PUT HIM DOWN, TO USE THE BATHROOM, OR SHOWER OR COOK, ETC, PUT ON TELEVISION OR MUSIC OR GIVE HIM A VERY FLASHY TOY. IF HE STILL SCREAMS, GIVE HIM A KISS, WALK AWAY AND HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS. HE WILL LEARN, EASIER SAID THAN DONE, BUT HE WILL.
