Q: i recently went to the optometrist and he said i should wear my contacts less but i hate wearing my glasses as they make me really self comsious. if my eyes are getting worse what makes a difference if they get worse a bit faster? why are glasses better than contacts except for infections?
I know what you mean, I use to really hate wearing my glasses until I ultimately HAD to wear mine because of overwearing them and was stuck wearing glasses for 6 months. Now, I'm okay with wearing glasses and heck, sometimes I rather wear them then put contacts in b/c it's soo much easier. If you ask you're friends, youd be surprised at to what they say... most dont even really recognize or care b/c it's still you w/ or w/o glasses.

The eyes getting worse faster makes a huge difference espically if you dont like glasses.. You can't wear contacts when youre eyes are to the extreme bad, maybe you could get surgery but that would hurt even worse and still have to deal with glasses for a bit. Soo take care of your eyes now and you'll be okay till youre old and really need the thick ones, lol.

Glasses are better in some ways and contacts are better in others.. Glasses allow your eyes to breathe, cut down on infections, takes less time to deal with if you are always in a hurry, if you arent very "clean" its a better choice.. yet contacts don't get in your way, allows you to feel like they are youre true vision... they both have their pros and cons

Q: what would you do if the love of your life walked away, is never coming back, and you didnt get to say good bye?
Instincts say to hide from the world and cry till you have nothing left to shed, but what you really should do is get out and try to get your mind off of it. I've been there and I'm sorry that youre feeling what you are, but if he left without a goodbye chances are you werent the love of his life. Don't cry over someone who wont cry over you; theres always someone better out there... Promise


Q: Hi im 13/f and having sex to me is a REALLY big deal i mean virginity is something that once you lose you can never get back.. yes i kno that i might regret it but i kno that i want to have sex.... heres my question.... my boyfriend and 1 have been goin out for 2 years hes 13 also *steady* were both virgins no break ups or anything... but recently we started to talk about having sex... im already on the pill strickly because my periods are very bad and accually it was my moms idea to get it 4 me... yes we would use a condom and yes he would pull out be4 he came.... but will it hurt...do you think 13 is to young to have sex even if i take all the percauseins(sp)..... should i shave....what can i do to him to make it plauserable for him??? And im kinda scared so wat shoulld i do rigth be4 we do it thanks soo much .... theses anwsers will base my desision on if i should do it or not!!!!!!thankz
If you think that you will regret it why do it?? I'm almost 17, just had sex with a guy who I thought loved me, I love him, but he didnt love me.. We were dating for several months and I thought I was ready.. Like you, I figured, yeah chances are I could regret it, but I might not.. You're only 13.. why not wait until your a little older because say you took all the precautionaries and you still had an accident, baby?? Would you be ready?? The pill isn't always effective you know.. Take it from an older person who just went through this.. sex is more emotional than you think. It will sneak up on you, and you'll feel like you can't go on.. It's going on a 2 months and I'm just starting to recover.. Soo think about it, ultimately its your choice, but I say wait because you aren't ready for it emotionally or physically for sex.

Q: What do you guys think of the idea of having sex with your ex boyfriend that you are thinking about getting back together with?

I just want to know if y'all think its a good idea or not and why.

Background info:
It was a nutural break up
We broke up becasue we kind of just got sick of each other
It was getting too serious for me (not him)
He was my first
I wasn't his first
We've been broken up for almost 2 months.
And we do entend on getting back together...eventually


i'm 17/f and he's 19/m
With personal expierence... and just having gone through a break up recently, my personal opinion: LEAVE SEX OUT OF IT! Sex only complicates it all, plus like they said.. How was it too serious for you?? Isnt sex serious enough?? I mean the next step is marriage, is it not?? Well according to some people it should be the other way around and I think I should have waited, but.. thats your choice. From my view, you apparently aren't over him so you want him back.. Why not try dating first, the sex can wait. If he wants to truely be with you, he won't mind not having sex for awhile.. Other ways to please you know....

Q: i have a lot of guy friends and they come over to my house a lot (along with other friends who area girls) and sometumes they are like all over me. Sometimes like during the day or something they'll even do it in front of my mom and little sisters. They say stuff like "youre soo sexy" and even stuff about my as.s.. it's really akward around my family.. but i dont want them to think im trying to get rid of them.. how should i talk to them about.. should i even say anything? lol thanks
Ive been in the same boat as you, having the same feelings, getting weird around the family when they make the nice gestures.. The next time they decide to compliement your looks infront of your family, don't embarass them by saying something infront of your family. Pull him aside, or where-ever you guys hang out and tell him to like cool it around your parents. Leave that kind of talk for hanging around the friends and not the parentals and your sisters because they don't appreciate that kind of language. It worked for me, so I hope it works for you!

SwtnTrstwrthy
Im a pretty laid back girl, I have my own beliefs. Im a very think minded person and you will never be able to change that. I dont like titles on people or judging of others, it bothers me like no other when I hear people ostracizing others or just an individual it makes me want to go rip them out of their bodies and put them in the other person's saying here you feel what it feels like for once. It isnt no picnic. Treat others as though you want to be treated. Other then that, I'm a pretty cool person to get a long with; I'm a loving, caring, flirty, funny, crazy girl. I love helping anyone in need, even if I dont know you; makes me feel good knowing that I helped others succeed in their life.
