hello...
I have a question..
When and If I have sex
Is there a 100% chance that the condom may break and I may get pregnant??? (link)
Nothing is 100%. If the condom breaks there is like a 75% you will get pregnant. When you choose to have sex just make sure you do use a condom or get on birth control. If the condom does break they have the morning after pill. You can get it at planned parenthood or a pharmacy you dont need a precsricption just go to the counter and ask for it(you do have to be 17 or older). It is on the expensive side so I would just get on birth control and use condom's to protect aganist std's. The pull out method is not an effictive form of birth control that is how I got pregnant. Good luck.


I am getting a toyota celica, i just dont know if i want an automatic or a 6 speed manual. Im afraid if i get the 6 speed then i will get tired of it. I know the basics for driving a stick, but an automatic seems so much easier.

Pros and cons?
What do you think i should do?

thanks (link)
Get a 6 speed!!!! They are the best and so much fun. Also, not everyone can drive one so it will cut down on who can borrow your car. Believe me get a stick you will not regret it(also, the price of the car will be cheaper than an automatic).


I don't know why, but I always feel inadequate in front of my friends. I always look at myself and tell myself that I do have substance, but I feel that I come short in front of people. I never feel that I'm smart enough, successful enough, lucky enough, happy enough, or even pretty enough. I've had this inferiority complex for as long as I can remember, and although I try to overcome it by positive self talk or exercise, the feelings keep coming back. Whenever I try to have an optimistic outlook for the future, something negative happens. It's like happiness isn't meant to be for me. A person can be persistent for so long, and I do know that some people have to work harder than others, but I'm afraid my work will not pay off. There is always something inside me telling me that companionship is not in my future. How can I rid these feelings of inadequacy? (link)
My advice to you is to see a conuseler or see a family doctor and they can point you in the right direction. I have always felt that way too. I understand what you are going though. I have a therapist and it seems to help. We each have our own path to walk down. Seeing someone will help a lot. Something may happen and you may just give up and feel you always have to live this way and turn out to be an unhappy person for the rest of your life. When you really don't have to be. You have every right to happiness as anyone else. Every single person you meet has there own demons just some people hide them better than others. So remember your just like everyone else. I hope this helped and good luck.


Me and my boyfriend had a romantic evening last night. Didnt have sex but he cummed on my tummy and breasts, sounds stupid i know, but im scared it might have found its way south... really dont want to be pregnant
do you think i should find a morning after pill to take, or am i just being paranoid? (link)
The "pull out method" is not a good form of birth control. Yes, even if he did not "cumm" in you, you can still get prego. Before a man gets off completly there can be pre-cumm and when you just do the pull out method the pre-cumm which a man does not feel. It does have sperm in it and can get you prego. I am no doctor but I would advise you to get the morning after pill. Please get on birth control they have a crazy amount of options besides just the pill. Good luck.


My friend's husband has been cheating on her for about a year. He is telling her that he loves her and will not leave her. He is telling his girlfriend that he is only staying at the house with his wife until he can move some of his stuff out and that he sleeps on the couch. He tells his girlfriend that his wife knows its over and he is leaving her. Wife is ok with that! He is actually working both sides of the fence for his benefit. Girlfriend has money, wife does not. Has told all his friends that his wife knows he is leaving her and he has nothing to hide. He does not want to give up the house to his wife, wants her out. Girlfriend is completely unaware of what is still going on between the husband and the wife, they are still sleeping together and he acts like she is the love of his life when together. Should I tell my friend what her husband is doing? When he is seen in public with his girlfriend she acts like they are a couple and there are no problems. He is lying to both. Help please! (link)
You should tell your friend that her husband is cheating. Even if she is not working, if she files for divorce he will have to pay alimony payments to her because he cheated on her and more than likly she will get to keep the house because she is not working and used to a cretain lifestlye.The worst case about the house they are ordered to sell it and split the profit. If there are kids then she will more than likely get custody of them and get child support too. If her lawyer is good enough she can also make her cheating husband pay for her lawyer since the divorce is his fault. She will need to prove to the court that he was cheating. This why he is telling his girlfriend that he does not want to leave he knows his wife can take him to the cleaners. More than likely when your friend takes that asshole of a husband to court and he is paying out half to his ex-wife his girl friend will be paying for everything. She will sooner or later get sick of it and leave him for someone else. So because your friend has no money it will work in her favor. She can also have the court grant an order where he has to leave the house and is unable to kick her out because she has no income coming in and he does. Just make sure to tell her before she confronts him she needs to get proof with pictures, voicemail messages, etc. Good luck.


I went out last week with a friend and her boyfriend, and we met up with her boyfriend's friends... one of them liked me, but I was in no way attracted to him. I was having a good time, and we talked a lot. By the end of the night, I gave him my number (i'm new to the neighborhood), and told him that we can all hang out- to sort of hint that i was not interested in going out with him alone.

He called a few days later and left a message- he asked if I wanted to meet with him at a cafe. I really do not want to send him the wrong message. I called him back tonight and left a message telling him that I am busy tomorrow, but can meet up the next day for a little bit, and to either call/text me the address. I would not mind having lunch with him, but do not know how to hint that a) I am not interested in that way, and b) I do not want to go out with him alone, but maybe meet up as a group of friends, in a casual setting. Any ways to hint at it without making him think I am interested? Again, I am not attracted to him at all- there is no chance. (link)
Talk with your friends boyfriend that is friends with him. Just tell him that you like his friend as a friend and nothing more and ask him if his friend is a good guy and is going to be cool with this. If his friend is not going to be ok with it then by all means don't meet up with him. If he says he will be ok with it then meet up with him. Just when you meet up tell him your happy he called because your new in town and really excited about meeting new friends so he knows up front without hurting his feelings. Just make sure you treat him as a friend not to give him mixed signals. Good luck.


Me and this guy have been talking for about a month or so. We hungout a few times during winter break and whatnot then when school started,we have a class together so we'd talk a lot ,he'd kiss me in school ,sit with me at lunch,all that stuff.Last week,during the school week we hungout a lot after school at the gym and at the library to do our homework and went out to eat etc. and on the weekend we made plans to chill ,but his family was coming down and he had a sweet sixteen to go to,so he didn't talk to me to much. This week at school,he didn't even realize how he ditched me and acted totally normal in class and kissed me ,etc and we hungout after school a few times and again made plans for the weekend. Friday (today) comes around and we had plans to chill at his house after we went to the gym.While i was driving him home from school (i had planned to go home first and then we were gonna chill) his mom called him and told him that they had to go pickup his brother at college (3 hours away) he ofcourse had to postpone our plans to later in the night.He said he would text me when he got home ,which he said he'd be home at 10pm.I told him to text me while he's riding in the car if he's bored and to let me know when he's home.He kissed me and got out of the car and said "okay i will ! " and never did.He didn't text me once since ive dropped him off.I don't get it! He seems like he likes me during the week and then this happens! Is he not interested? or am i just overhthinking? (link)
First off men take everything you say literly!! You said "if your bored" you should have said Please text me when your on your way home to let me know what is going on, so I know if we are still hanging out. He thought if I don't text her it is no big deal. Tell him how you feel, but be understanding. Say something like this "we had plans and I understand things happen, but you should let me know what is going on, so I don't get upset because we were suppose to hang out and you just completly leave me out of the loop of what is going on I am not mad, but for future reference just let me know". After you talk to him about it and he keeps doing it then lose him. It just means he does not care about your feelings and just wants to keep you hanging on. If after you talk with him about it he then fixes the problem then you know for sure he cares about you and your feelings. Good luck.


18/f

I haven't been sexually active recently, about a year, and I've always had normal discharge, the yellowish-white colour. but today, I had a sort of brownish, beige colour. what could this mean?
It can't be anything bad, can it? Like an STI or STD? Because I haven't been sexually active in so long.

thanks. (link)
It maybe around the time your starting your period and if you have discharge already blood and the discharge together my give the appearance of brown. That is just my thought. You should at least see your doctor and let them know what is going on. Some std test are as simple as taking an urine sample. Some STD's can lay dormate for years. So if your being sexual active please use protection. I hope everything is ok. Good luck.


Female - age: 16

I'm in quite a dilemma.
First off, I have an amazing boyfriend and he's really great. But...I don't really love him anymore. I can't see myself spending the rest of my life with him.
I'm in love with this other guy who is absolutely perfect. He's just a friend but I really want to be more and I could actually picture myself being with him forever. I feel stronger about this other guy than my own boyfriend.

What should I do?
How should I tell my boyfriend this without completely breaking his heart?
How do I tell this other guy what I feel?

Help!!! (link)
Fisrt off your 16 the last thing you need to be thinking about is spending the rest of your life with anyone. Your young have fun. If your really not in love with your boyfriend. You need to tell him. Just tell him you both are young and you need to see what else is out there, and tell him it is not him. Now my question to you is: If this other guy was not in the picture would you still feel the same about your boyfriend? Or would you still want to be with your boyfriend?
If the reason you want to break things off with your boyfriend is JUST because of this other guy. Then your doing it for all the wrong reasons.

With dealing with this other guy AFTER you end things with your boyfriend ask him to hang out and feel out the situation before you say anything to him. If he does not feel the same and you two are friends then it may make the friendship end. Guys have a way of letting you know that they like you without saying a word. You can even say I know you like me someone told me, and see what he says! If he says no I don't I never said that to anyone. You can always say ok that is cool it must be someone starting trouble and I will tell them to stop talking trash!!! You never know he may say "yeah" and then there you go and you can always tell him your woman's intuition told you. Hope it all works out for you.


i'm a 19 year old college freshman in need of student loans and i don't know where to begin. as of now i'm on the HOPE scholarship in Georgia meaning my tuition is paid for but everything else comes out of my mom's pocket. She's a single mom so it's a struggle and i've suggested student loans time and time again for months now but she has yet to fill out the FAFSA because her taxes are not filed, therefore i don't know how to go about getting loans. She will not take the time to sit down and file taxes in order to complete the FAFSA, and according to the website i can't declare myself as an independent until i'm like 24 or married or other random stuff so I don't know what to do. She is unmotivated and uninteresed in trying to help me figure out how to obtain a student loan however is always bitching about money to me. I have a part time job back home that i work at one weekend a month to stay on payroll and im trying to get a job where im at also but it still wont be enough. How can i go about getting a student loan asap WITHOUT fafsa? I looked at the Sallie Mae loans but apparently my school doesn't work with that organization and i need one that is legit. Help??


also i looked up some stuff about private loans, but on the website it talks about the money being sent directly to the school. is that the case with all private loans? of course the loan money would be going toward my education, but since my tuition is paid for by my scholarship, it'd be easier to have the money sent to me so that we can direct it towards housing, meals, etc. how would that work? (link)
For private loans and loans through FASFA the money is sent to your school. The school inturn takes a very small portion for processing the money and then the school will send you a refund check for whatever the remaining balance after tuition, books, and etc.I get every penny of my loans back I also have a grant that covers all of my tuition. Your school will have a date every semster or quater when the refund checks are sent. The loans have to be used for school purposes. Housing, gas, and food are ok.


You should really try to have your mom fill out that FASFA because though that you may qualify for loans that the interst will not start untill you start to pay back the loan (unsubsidized loan). Also, with the FASFA you will not need a co-signer. A private loan you will need a co-signer. Where as private loans the interst starts the day you take out the loan (subsidized). Good luck I really hope your mom will fill that out for you. You may also want to talk with you Financial aid advisor about your mom not filing her taxs maybe there will be a way you can be an independent student. It never hurts to ask.
