on myspace, the little "forget password" thing. well when you click it, you have to enter your email and then myspce will send you the password for that account. so, i keep entering my email, (a yahoo email) and it wont send me my password! i double and triple checked each time the spelling is right. is been a couple days and i keep trying and it wont send! its not in the spam, junk, or trash folders either. ive tried everything. what should i do!?

That happened to my friend once.She got a new email and it worked just fine.Maybe you should create a new yahoo account,and change the email on myspace to the new one and try that.If that still doesnt work,on myspace at the very bottom of the page,and click on 'contact myspace' and tell them your problem.The problem should get fixed then.

I got my first Period on Jan.6
im 13 yrs old and not sexually active
I know periods are irregualr for the first couple years but its now March 1 and i haven't gotten it

Should i have gotten it by now?

Actually it depends on your body.Every woman's body is different.For me,My period comes every 2 months or every 2 months,and 1 or 2 weeks.It depends on how your body fuctions.Maybe ask your mom.Sometimes mothers and daughters have the same menstrual cycle.

My dog recently found a leather bracelet somewhere in the house that has been missing for months. It was really moldy and very stiff. I washed it and let it soak in water with scented baby oil. It dried stiff again. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to make it soft again so i can wear it, thanks

Get some Saddle soap.You can get this at a place that sells horse supplies.

Okay, so I just recently moved into my dorm room and there are cum stains on my walls. How can I get them off?

I did try the usual soap and water with no luck.

I cannot re-paint, or damage the walls in any way because I am renting so paint friendly solutions would be best.

Go to your nearest Walmart and buy some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.That should take those of.

Spray with some shout and rewash them.

There's this new foreign-exchange student in my Spanish class. He's from Argentina (haha ironic, I know) and is living here with his cousin for three months. When he first came, all the girls flipped out because he's really cute, and the guys talked to him, too. However, now that everyone's used to him, not many kids talk to him. My teacher asked me to strike up some conversations with him because she know I'd be friendly. I also want to be friends with him. I've talked to him almost everyday that he's been here, but it's hard to do. I want to speak to him in Spanish so I can get better, but I don't know what to say! When I talk to him in English though, I feel bad because it's so much harder for him to talk to me in English, and he doesn't know some of the slang. What questions can I ask him without having him feel like I'm prying into his life?

well ask him what's his home country like,what was his favorite things to do there,what his hobbies are,what was his old school like,and so on.

what do you do when you have a very very rude violent sibling who gets extra violent coz there on drugs and your mum's a single mother and disabled...I could physically stop him, but abuse gets you know where. && I wouldnt stoop to his level. he is younger, and I would get into trouble...it tears my family apart. and he's only 12

Get your mom to schedule an appointment to see a counselor.Obviously he is mad about something and only a professional can help him with that. Kepp strong.

my toe feels broken but im afraid to tell anyone. its like all purple and swolen. im soo scared!! what should i do?

Tape it together,put some ice on it,and elevate it so it is above your heart.And schedule an appointment with your doctor ASAP.

lately i've noticed i have pain in my left breast near the top of it. it used to be only when i moved my arm above my head but now it hurts on its own and its getting really painful. theres no sign of bruising or injury, and it isnt sex related. i have a male doctor that i dont want to see and i dont have a gyno. its getting unbearable. what do i do?

ok first things first,since you are uncomfortable having a male doctor,(like most females are), you should ask for a female doctor.Then get it taken care of ASAP.The longer the wait,the more time it has to develop into something worse.

well i want a cell phone. ive wanted one for a REALLY long time and i think i actrulLY NEED one. i have to call my parents all the time and i need to keep in touch with my friends (duh!).my mom thinks i don't need one and they are stupid. how can i convice her to let me get one? i mean i really really want one (w/ a texting plan) and need one.

You should get a virgin mobile phone.you can buy these and the cards at walmart.They are way better than trak phones.trak phones are a waste because you pay alot of money for not many minutes.A virgin mobile phone is around $20 and for $70 you get unlimited texts and all phone calls in and out for a month.Which with a trak phone you could be paying about $200 dollars a month.So obviously virgin mobile is way cheaper and worth the money.

i cant remember when my last period was. i had sex a few weeks ago, or a few days or something. but i cant remember if i ever did or didnt get my period after that!

ive been smoking weed a lot, (which i probably wont ever do again) and its kind of messing with my memory. also, if i was pregnant, would smoking weed harm the fetus, even if it is just a few months or weeks or something??

thank you.

Actually smoking,drugs or alcohol can harm an unborn baby.No matter how many times even once can harm it severly.I'd recommend not doing any of that stuff at all,for you and if you're prenant,your baby.

spring break is around the corner and it's going to be my 16th birthday around the 20th, and I want to look really good. I'm a little but over weight, but I want to get into shape by then. I'm bigger built, I'm not small, im 5'5 and 170lbs, and I looked good around 155-160. I'm usually good about watching my weight and exercising, but ive been so busy and i havent been able to get back on track since xmas break, and ive been going through alot of emotional stress and family problems, but its getting better, i just need to get on track...but i need some help! Most of my fat is in my stomach and I want to get my butt smaller..im in a pant size 11, i'd like to be in a 9 or smaller. And I'll diet on anything...its just consistancy and will power is more of a chanllege, but is nothing i cant do..i need some motiviation....some help please.

ok,start drinking lots of water.And when you you get stressd out go on for a little walk.Not only does the walk help relieve stress,but it also helps you lose weight.also keep a little pad and a pen or pencil with you.That way no matter where you are,you can track what you're eating.when you go out,use the stairs instead of the elevator.And for fun and a little exercise, call up a friend or so and ask them to go shoot some hoops with you at a local park.You can play a game of basketball or just shoot the ball.And while doing so you can socialize and possibly check out the local hotties lol. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I'm really confused about what to do!

To make a very long and complicated story short and simple, I had sex with my ex boyfriend of 4 years about 2 months ago. He committed suicide about 2 weeks ago.
I think I may be pregnant with his child. I'm against abortion and would never give up my own child for adoption because... you know... it's MY kid! However, I don't have the money to raise a child. I'm in college right now and if I am pregnant, then the baby would be due around October... I can't not go to school because then I won't have a degree to get a decent job, besides who would take care of the baby while I'm working/in school... my parents would never help me out with this... they would press for adoption or abortion because they're barely financially stable enough to help us - I'm in school strictly on student loans, my brother is joining the armed forces so they'll pay for school, and my sister never went to college- she's got a full time job and is living at home. None of us can support a baby, and I can't ask my dead exes mom to help - she just lost her son and is extremely financially pressed... it's insane! I don't know what to do !!

What would you do if you were in my situation?
I don't have anyone to turn to because the baby's father is dead... I just don't know what to do right now!!

First, go to the doctor or pick up an at home pregnancy test.If you're pregnant,find a local public library near you,and look to see if there is any programs that can help you financially and with prenancy and so on.If you find the right program for you, join the program.It should help you.Every state has at least one program for women who are pregnant and aren't financially capable to care for the child. I hope this helps.

my boyfriend and i got drunk together recently and got caught. now we're both grounded for a long time. my mom wanted me grounded for a month, and my dad just said i was grounded until he says im not anymore. -.-''

i have no idea how long my boyfriend is grounded. his mom at first said a month, and then she said two weeks, and then she said 2 months...im just confused.

i dont have a very big social life. frankly, i dont want one. i have a few good friends and a boyfriend and im fine. thing is, im not grounded from the phone or from my computer. im grounded from PEOPLE! i cant hang out with anyone for as long as my dad says, which could be from 1 week to 5 weeks. i usually see my boyfriend every day, and this is really getting under my skin. its a very hard situation for me. we cant even talk!

what am i supposed to do?? i hate being around my family in general, but around them ALL THE TIME and with no one else?!? someone tell me what to do, and quick.

ok,If your parents said that yu can't talk to your friends and boyfriend only,and you can go on your computer,go on to icq.com and if you're a teenager,go into the teen chat room and talk to people.That way you can still talk to someone when you need to.

This is a long long story/dilemma. So brace yourselves.

Okay, so a while back, I went out with guy A but we broke up. We broke up because of guy B. B and A used to be best friends until they both liked the same girl and B got the girl. That girl wasn't me.
So while be and A were going out, i was still friends with B and that was part of the reason me and A broke up, he was jealous of B and didn't want the same thing to happen again. before, i thought me and B would never happen..but ever since the break up, me and B have been hanging out a lot and i've just felt so......relaxed with him around. him and I are really good friends and just recently, he told me that he had feelings for me. of course, i felt an attraction too and had feelings for B as well..but under the circumstances, i think that wouldn't be a great idea as........it would definitely be uncool to A even though we broke up already and i sorta hate his guts.

also, ever since the break up with A, me and B were best friends and i told him about my new emerging guy stories. guy C was in my class and i liked him a lot.....and B knows that. me and C spent some time together and i found that he's really charming and funny as well........and i can tell that he's starting to be into me as he is now calling and texting me often.

brace yourself, there's another guy.
guy D..a good friend of my girl friend has just started texting me and we have been texting back and forth..he's really cute and funny but i've never actually met him. D seems like a really cool person and i know it's not anything fake as he is a friend of my close girlfriend and i know she would "approve" of him before introducing us.

so, i'm really really in a dilemma.
guy A is totally out of the picture.
guy B is like my best friend. he knows a lot about me and makes me feel happy but if he and i were to date, it would cause a lot of unnecessary drama with guy A
guy C is in one of my classes and we've just begun to get to know eachother and he's very very funny and cute and is into me.
guy D is.....still a little bit of a mystery but the way that he talks.......just hooks me yenno?

so..i'm kinda stuck. help!

wow, ok this is a tough one.I'd have to say if you can have a little 1-on-1 time with each guy.In my opinion,dating your best friend can go bad.I just got out of a relationship with my best friend.Let's just say he got too attached.Anyway,but pick the guy that you are the most comfortable around,who makes you happiest.
I hope this helps!
