Q: Hello I am 13 and this other guy is 13. We are both in the same class. He said he wants to have sex with me. I love him so much but he said he would date me only to have sex with him.I would do any thing to make him happen should I do it. Maybe he would want to date me after. I don't know can you help I am only 13 and do not know a lot about boys. Please help me. I need help.

okay so maybe you "love" this kid or maybe you don't. But from experience it is best to wait as long as possible to have sex. You might not regret it but you will definitely not regret waiting when you are older. It will mean more and chances are, your odds of having a solid relationship are better.
If you want to date him, make him work for it.no one deserves to be just a sex toy-unless they seriously want that of course. but you don't. you want a relationship if you think you really like this boy. There are good guys out there. And there are friends with benefits relationships out there too, but those only work if the feelings are the same toward one another.

Tell him straight up that you like him and aren't ready for sex and just want someone you can hang out with and go on dates for right now-at least until you are ready. If he doesn't take that with a spoon of sugar he isn't worth your time. Go out with your girls because that is much more important right now, and you WILL reaize this later in life.

That being said good luck with everything. Boys are extremely confusing and annoying...just wait until you get to college. And i certainly am not saying to but if you DO decide to engage in sex please get yourself updated on everything from STDs to birth control. I work in a doctors office interning so I've seen it all. There are Planned Parenthoods and free clinics everywhere that are not allowed to discuss anything with your parents unless you want them to. You can get condoms and birth control for FREE. I don't know where you stand on these issues but it's good to be aware.

From girl to girl, good luck. Enjoy your life and don't get caught up too much. Everything works out for the best! Just be careful and don't let any guy make you feel less about yourself.

Q: 18/f
How would you guys feel if someone offered to cook you dinner in their home for a first date? I think it's awesome but some people seem to think it's a bad plan (ie. too forward for a first date). What kind of message does that send?
Granted this would not be with a complete stranger, I can see that could probably be a bit uncomfortable.

Just go with it, because it's cheap and casual. There's no pressure and you can relax a little. As far as sex goes, if you want it then fine, but if they think that's the message and you don't then be straight up with them. You aren't leading them on by making anyone dinner. In fact it's the other way around. an ass of a guy would typically pay for an expensive dinner or a movie in hopes to get something out of it but this is way more low key, but still nice

Q: 20/f. I know that I want to be a teacher. There is a major at my school: Early Childhood Education. I decided on this major like this semester because before that I was on another track. I wanted to be a lawyer and realized that it really wasn't what I wanted to do. There are three pre-requisites that I have to take before I move into upper division (my last two years). But, that's a LOT of work I have to do over the summer. I know that I want to get a masters also. So, I was thinking that since I would be behind and have taken a lot of wasted classes right now, I should just get my Bachelors in Psychology and then get my masters in Elementary Education. That way it's more specific and I feel like psychology is actually something that I'll use in my major and employers will like to see that. What do you think I should do? If I decide on going with Elementary Education Bachelors, I would have to take 3 classes extra over the summer, a general knowledge exam, and a bio class all over the summer. I would also have paid for 3 extra classes that I didn't need. If I decide to go with the psychology route, I would only have to take like 2 classes over the summer, graduate on time and get my Masters in Elementary Education. What do you think I should do? Please be honest... especially if your a teacher, maybe you can give me some advice. Thanks!

I would honestly talk to your advisor, but I know my mom's major was accounting in college and then she went back and got her masters for teaching because she didn't like her job. If that is the easier route then go for it but remember life isn't easy so do what will most benefit you. As far as paying for extra classes, well at least you figured it out now instead of finishing out and deciding ten years from now to pay for a different major. Do what makes you happy, because if you have the requirements and the grades you won't have a problem. I would also look into the sciences...aka Psych, because there is a shortage in science teachers. My school offers 20 grand a year who want to teach science.

Q: Im a 13 and a girl. I told my two guy friends I needed to go an I needed my basketball and they would not give it back. So I tackeled my friend Jim WHo is 15/m. Well He fell onto ice and started to bleed he called me an a*s, and threw my ball up the hill. I put my hand on his shoulder and told him I was sorry. But I feel awful and I dont know what to do.

it's really no big deal. if you are friends i am sure he will get over it. you already apologized and you were just goofing around. i can't tell you how many times ive accidentally hurt my boyfriend or my sister but it's not like you chopped his arm off. It wasn't intentional...I am sure you can think of times someones pulled your hair or knocked into you or something that was a total accident and you probably got over that too.

Q: I have gained and lost weight all my life! So my whole body is flabby!!

I am not fat, I am just a bit overweight! I wanna know what to do to tighten my body everywhere!!

Desperate please help

honestly, you just have to be extremely disciplined. you need cardio to keep the weight off, that is the most important aspect. run or use the eliptical about 4 to 6 times a week. you can also walk on an incline on the treadmill. besides that you need to focus muscle building mostly on the core of your body. cheesy as it may be, situps and crunches or other ab excercises you know of do wonders. perform a few sets a day and you will definitely notice the difference. aside from that, watch what you eat at least the first few weeks. after that initial getting into a routine, you can pretty much eat what you want. but i think you will notice that you will choose more healthy choices anyway. If you are already eating well then excellent, but i know there are days where chocolate calls to me. exercising will also prevent you from gettin sick frequently and you will feel more awake

Q: how do you know if a guy cummed inside you?

umm the other answer is not true haha sorry... as crude as it sounds, after sex it will come back out-most likely into your underwear. Go to the bathroom asap because this will help prevent any yeast infections. and it is hard to know exactly when they finish inside you but it sort of feels like a warm sensation during sex. hope that helps...sorry to be graphic

Q: Hi everybody,

I would like to write a letter to my boyfriend's mom basically just telling her how much I love her son. I guess the big problem is that I don't want to sound stupid or come across like a psychopath!

She is a great lady, and I can definitely see her son and I getting married someday. My boyfriend has dated a few girls before that treated him very badly. He has suffered a very broken heart more than once, so I really want to do this to help her stop looking at me like I am just the next girl to try and break her son's heart.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything I should not say?

I thank you.

I think writing is a brilliant idea. and sometimes you can't always say things in words. just let it flow and you will know what to say. you won't come across as a psycopath trust me. it will be sweet to her.

Q: Hi,
So I've been in university since September, and I gained about 8-10 lbs, I'm at about 135-138 lbs now.

ANYWAYS, the food in university is too tempting, all the pasta and carby goodness. I'm thinking about just eating salads, fruit/yogurt, cereal, sushi and peanut butter/jam english muffins for the rest of my school year (obviously not in the same day). There really isn't any meat, unless it's fried chicken or inside the pasta. Please do not suggest to me that I buy food from a grocery store because I have no refrigerator/freezer.

So yeah, I want to get down to 125lbs by the end of April or mid-May, & hopefully a size 4-6. Since my schedule is pretty great compared to others, I'm thinking of exercising 4-5 days a week, and 2 of the days will consist of cardio + strength training.

I don't know how much time I should spend at the gym though.

Any advice is helpful~

I am a freshman at college and am super paranoid about the freshman fifteen. I make sure to only eat when i am hungry and only go up for one plate of food. Do not go up for seconds or desert. Pasta is fine a couple times a week, as long as you aren't eating a huge bowl of it. Choose fruits and salads when possible. When you eat salad as a meal, eat a piece of bread with it to satisfy your carb cravings and the salad will fill you up the rest of the way. Drink while eating, water mostly and no soda, and that will help fill you too.

I work out 5 times a week spending 1-2 hours everyday i go to the gym. I run on the treadmill for 20 min and then just do abs and lift the weight-ball and work out my legs and stretch. You can find some exercises for your abs and butt right online pretty much anywhere. If running isn't your thing, use the bike for half an hour or the eliptical for half an hour or do fifteen minutes of each because they both help in slightly different ways. Stick in your ipod and go!
Good luck!!

Q: 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?

I think you may be overthinking. I never text when I am around my mom, it's a little rude I to me. And if he kisses you at school and its been a month he obviously isn't sick of you or afraid to show his affection. If he has family things, that is a little more important in my opinion, especially because he sees you all week. I really wouldn't overthink it, just maybe ditch him sometime or something you know? Even it out and pretend you don't care that much. You shouldn't be at his beck and call to hang with or change plans whenever. While it's inconsiderate of him to tell you not in advance, you have to understand that stuff sometimes does come up. But he obviously likes you.

Q: I'm in a long distance relationship.

My boyfriend went home for christmas, he's gone for 1 month. And for some reason, I feel really bad making him come on skype to talk to me while he's away, cause i feel like the point of him being there is to be with family..and doing other things and such.

Anyway, we usually talk every couple days while he's away, but the first thing he told me was that in the airport..where he had to wait 6hrs due to delayed flights, he met a girl, they talked for 4 hours, and split a bottle of red wine. He said they talked about relationships, and i don't think he even mentioned me. Now hes home, and tells me he's been talking to his brothers gf all day on skype. But he can't tell me hes on?? He called me on skype for about 45 mins, his brother talked to me while he talked to his brothers gf, hahah messed up, i know.

But, it's not just that. He ALWAYS talks to me about his exes, and how he wonders what they're up to and stuff. I can't figure out honestly what it is, but all this other girl talk, and having fun with other girls, makes me SO jealous. I've talked to him about it once, didn't say anything when he was chatting about the girl at the aiport/brothers gf though.

Blah, i guess i just need advice. does he just seem like a flirty person? weve been dating 5 months, and he had talked about his exes even before we were dating. but now i just get so jealous, but dont bring it up, as i know its not a pretty trait to have. but then i sit here with my feelings hurt. ah, any advice?!

alrighty well let's see... honestly does sound a bit odd that he would do stuff like that. Is he flirty? I'm not sure because i have never met him. anyone can be flirtacious to an extent.

My boyfriend is extremely flirty, and this may sound weird but look at how he treats guys to girls..is it different? My boyfriend when you step back really treats both genders the same. But of course in your mind, the same sex is always a threat. Also, I can be flirty too. We are also in a very long distance relationship at school and after a year together broke up then ended up back together. If you realize you want to be with someone you should be able to turn off your flirtaciousness. Which we've now both done...let's face it. high school is over.

About you getting jealous! There is NOTHING wrong with feeling that way. He's here you're there? You don't know who he is talking to or hanging with or doing. Come up with an agreement like when you go out let each other know or something like that.

Also about talking and communication. One-yes it is messed up he talks to his brother's gf... ask him if you could talk to him for a whole day (sarcastically) and then say ummm well i thought this time was to be with your family but you're spending it on skype anyway so why not just talk to me? (cute voice)

relationships are hard sometimes but there a lot less work than they need to be. If you aren't happy get out of it. But just tell him what's up. And if he really likes you then he probably gets just as jealous. sometimes all problems need is a little tug to loosen the knot, and then once the knot is out you can tie your shoes and walk forward...(read that somewhere) haha. goodluck. i don't know exactly what you need. if you feel hurt ask yourself, "well if i'm hurt then is there not obviously something causing it?"
and he should not talk about exes. you should talk about how ugly they were and he should go "haha yea they were"

he seems to just need boyfriend lessons in my opinion.

Q: ???this isnt BS????

are you sure? haha okay sorry about that. just wanted to make sure you weren't someone else...

Q: hey girl.
i just want to lose weight!!!!
so lately i just have not been eating and all my friends keep telling me to eat but theyre just stupid!! i dont want to eat i just want to be skinny and my friends just dont understand that starving is the only way for me to really lose weight!!! how do i make my friends understand and leave me alone about my eating habits??

um okay, not eating isnt the way to lose weight. you have to eat 3 light healthy meals, and work out at least every other day. there's all sorts of dif ways to go about it but not eating wont keep the weight off.

just a quick question tho. is this B.S.? (those are initials, doesnt stand for bull shit ha)

Q: i was unresponsible and had unprotected sex. when should i take a pregnancy test? i know 5 days before your missed period but i don't really understand because i don't know if i'm like going to miss it for sure. i'm almost positive i'm not, i just want to be totally sure.

oh jeez. honestly i would wait to see when and if you miss your next period. then i mean... YOU'LL KNOW. but um, just go into any old drug store or walmart and they should have them. or if you have like a free community sex-care facility they have them there. the tests are annonymous and free. so that would be an even better move and more accurate. ill cross my fingers for you! please please use protection next time!

Q: well I have a bf.he askd me out on xmas eve. I liked him sooo much. nd even before he askd me out and I still do.well he has A LOT of friends that are girls. and I get super jealous when he talks to them or something. I talked to him sorta about it over texting.and he says he understands the "I don't want to be hurt" but he said not to worry cause he isn't going to break up with me and for me not to be jealous.well my question is how can I get over my jealousy? cause it always leads to us arguing I don't want us to break up. please don't say "just don't think about it.just trust him" cuz we do trust eachother we went over that.and I trust him just not the other girls.and if you gona say "talk to him" I have a couple times. so if your gona say that then at least give me some pointers on what to say! please and thankyou in advance!!!

okay. well :) i have kind of the same problem. or at least i use to. i have been dating my boyfriend for abour 6 months now and in the beginning this sort of thing bothered me more. we go to different schools so it makes it harder but it definitely forces the issue. i know me-ill be talking up a storm with my guyfriends. and i know him-and why should he not talk it up with his own friends? does this boy of yours ever tell you that he gets jealous when you talk to guys? if not, he probably still does but he is trying not to let it get the best of him. trust me, jealousy is not going to help anything. and sure, a little bit makes the other feel of a bit of importance, but it truly gets out of proportion if it is ongoing.

the other thing in my situation is that i dont party, he does. so there i have to trust the other girls. and i have to trust the alcohol. now i will never trust the alcohol but i have to trust that he wont put himself in a position that will make him or i regret anything. its still hard and i had an ex who got drunk and went with another girl which, to say the least, wasn't fun to deal with.
you just have to know his morals and that he wont do anything to you. deep down youre probably always going to feel that spout of jealousy towards the other girls. it happens. but if they're just talking and your man isnt like "alone" alone with any of them, you really dont have anything to worry about. if you truly think he wont do anything to hurt you, then there you go, he wont do anything to hurt you. you know him better than me. he should respect your wishes of not overspending time with them but he shouldn't cut them out of his life either. just try to laugh it off and kind of joke about it with him. like when you're on the phone and about to hang up be like "so im tired, ill let you go." and he'll be like alright and then you say, "but hey itll give you a little bit of time to call your other girlfriends right?" and then laugh so he knows its jokingly. itll ease things up a bit.

goodluck!

Q: 17/f
me and this guy who is also my best friend have liked each other on and off for the past 5 years but he's had this complicated and rediculous relationship thats been on and off so i was afraid to get involved with him and then have him go back to this girl who he broke up with nine times. well he finally broke up with her for good. their parents refuse to let them date anymore because now they've broken up ten times.

its been a week since the break up.
now is our time. i've slept at his house before but never when he was single. we always joke about sex and making out so when i slept over at his house this past weekend i was nervous about what he'd want to do. i thought he'd at least try to kiss me but since then i've found out that he was hesitant to do anything because he respects me so much he didn't want to do anything unless i said i wanted to do it.

personally...i dont think its romantic when you talk about kissing before actually doing it. i like it to be spontaneous. but we talked about it and then he kissed me...and somehow i missed. then he says we're going to try it again so we kissed 3 more times. three times that seemed pretty damn good to me but hes "not counting it" because it lacked passion and "i just sat there". i was laying down and he was on top of me..there wasn't a whole lot of moving room.

so he said the rest of the night he felt weird because it wasn't what he was expecting and then the next morning i didn't feel good because i have blood glucose problems and occationally just dont feel good so the next morning it was just really quiet. we didn't speak to each other until i had to go.

so that was that...next day (today) he drove me home from school. and we had a very long conversation about it. we drove around the block, stopped at random places...it took 40minutes to drive 8miles. i told him that as much as i appreciated his respect for me i would like it better if he just did what he wanted to do my exact words were "ya gotta just be a man and go for the gold!!" so he starts slowing the car down again and i ask what he was doing and he says "im gonna be a man...as soon as i find somewhere to pull over" so he found a spot to pull over, he unbuckled his seatbelt leaned over and kissed me. and then he kept leaning in futher and further...he was smooshing my face. so once again he said i wasn't putting anything into it..but how can i when hes smooshing my face in! and it was so rediculous i started laughing in the middle of it.

so basically we're just gonna keep doing this until we get it right but i dont know how to make this better!! eventually we're going to go out and this can't happen!

help me please. i have a feeling this is going to be a daily problem if i cant fix it.

oh by the way. the last boyfriend i had was 3years ago and i haven't kissed since so its kind of all new to me again.

same as christina...but um seriously? its only been a week since the break up? doesnt he need space? if not go for it, but i just dont want you to become his rebound girl...best of luck.

Q: I have built up a lot of cofidence this past year.
Especially with school and relationships. My girlfriend has almost all this power from me and I have no idea why I let myself give it to her. she's incredible and extremely nurturing. Though she broke up with me for not even a day and then the whole time we were apart it seemed extremely wrong. I realized she was my best friend and my girlfriend.
She cried the whole time she left my house to her best friends. We saw each other that next day and talked the night of all of this. She said it was a mistake. We just had our 4 month and are extremely pleased with each other.
My only issue is..what if this all happens again because I use to be suicidal but now as I have grown it's been something different. When she was there I even broke down I tried holding it in for when she left. Sure, i am emotional but I try my best to make sure she knows it's alright. I am just so scared to lose it all. I think were fine as of now, but if I do end up in that situation again what are some ways I may be able to handle it?

1. hang out with your guy friends
2. run/exercize-endorfins increase happiness and lower depression
3. listen to rock music-not alternative emotional stuff
4. watch a few comedies

if you want her back and you think that she will be willing to come back:
1. call her and talk
2. do something unique and special to win her back
3. tell her how much u care and let her decide
4. give her some time and dont let her see how much pain your in. giving yourself the upperhand will make her want you back again
5. after a few weeks give her a call and just see "how she is doing" and say that "sometimes i still think about us" and she wat she says

anyway, hopefully you guys will be fine though, if you really are both satisfied and have a healthy relationship everything should run smoothly.

if it does end eventually remember that everybody goes through breakups and it will get better, even if you dont believe me, time heals everything...

hope that you two are smitten :)

Q: I'm really in a huge trouble.

A week ago I just found myself falling in love with an 11 or 12 year-old boy(he won't tell me his age)

I'm 14.

I've been against having younger bf.

I donno what I should do.

How to deal with the situation.

We are quite close. his class is right next to mine.

And I really wanna know if he likes me too.

How do I do that?

I would really appreciate all your advises.

i once had a crush on a guy that was 2 years younger than me...actually it was really bad cuz it was my best friends younger bro!! haha. but yea it can always work out and i know of plenty of older girl-younger guy relationships that work out. i think you should just ask him what he thinks of you because chances are he will not make the first move just for the fact that he is younger and probably intimidated by you. hope that this helps in some way :) good luck!

Q: What am I supposed to do? Sometimes my boobs like to poke out [only at home tho] and I'm wearing the right cup size since I got measured and whatnot. What's a good bra for coverage? Also what kind of shirts should I wear because apparently i dress inappropriately. Guys tell my boyfriend "make your girlfriend put a jacket on" and it's seriously pissing me off because I do not dress slutty like the rest of the girls in the room. I was told to wear flattering v-shirts [not deep v's btw] and apparently it's inappropriate because of cleavage? Is that really fair? My boobs aren't coming out of the shirt and yet, I get in trouble while the other girls wear low shirts!

i don't know what to wear. i'm so limited to shirts and i really hate this. i can't even look good without it looking bad.

ok lol, i know how you feel because i have pretty big boobs for my size. all i can say is that yea, you just need to make sure to keep them covered. sometimes it just looks bad because they are big in general. *not bad but you know what i mean. try not to wear too tight shirts but that is the style, so just search for clothes that flatter your own body. be picky, its good to be picky in what you buy. i know that sometimes i try on a shirt or dress and it pulls around my bust. if it happens, put it back on the rack and keep looking for something different. try to make sure your boobs arent showing more than about an inch from the cut of your shirt and dont wear tank tops that cut low because they will ride down. wear v-cuts with a cami underneath them, that will help, but make sure the cami isnt pressed to tightly against you otherwise it will make it seem like your boobs are coming out even if they arent. keep an eye on it and pull it up every so often to make sure.

maybe look for more sophisticated styles rather than what you are wearing now because most girls just get tight clothes that of course are going to press your boobs up and out of your shirt, whether you want that to happen or not

as for your bf's friends, the matter shouldnt be concerning them. if you care about this then duh, your not a slut

i know a enough girls that have this issue and its no one's fault. all i can say is try on some different styles of bras, maybe wear a sports bra over your regular bra to help hold them in and get less tight clothes. but guys will still notice your boobs even if you dont wear low cut shirts. youre right, it isnt fair that you cant wear them, but remember that their bodies are different from yours so you should wear what best flatters your own body-not someone elses. you will come on as not inappropriate plus you will look great and get all the right attention :)
hope that i helped a little bit at least!! good luck!!

Q: 24/f
so here is the shortest version of the story I can manage. When I was seventeen I met the love of my life. we both knew it the moment we met. we lived 8 hours away from eachother but had a long distance relationship. he is 2 years older so he moved to the east coast to be in a band before I got out of highschool. i was supposed to go when I graduated but as life goes...I moved to the west coast with another man when I was 18. when i was 20 we found eachother again and he still in the band we saw eachother a few times and were still in love. this is like really true love, our hearts and souls are meant to be. he cannot leave his band, they tour 10 months out of the year. anyway we stayed in contact and over the years he would fly out between tour dates and spend a few days with me. two years ago we decided it was very hard to be together long distance so we agreed to see other people because we were both lonely but we both knew we still loved eachother. we planned to get married when I moved from the west coast. he started seeing his ex and I met someone from work. we still stayed in touch and in love. well, I ended up getting pregnant and had a baby with a man i do not love, and still do not love. we lost contact after I had my baby, he was really hurt yet supportive of me keeping the child. I two years later, my son is over a year old and I still live with his father who is not a nice person at all. Recently we started talking again and although we are both in relationships the love is still there. I guess i just need advice on how to move on from here...i am staying with my baby's father for my son, but I love this other man so much. he is constantly touring so its not like we can be together because I cannot move to his home base because it would bring my son 2000 miles away from his dad. I just dont know what to do. I love him and I know we are destined to be together. sorry if my question is not really precise, but any advice would help me greatly. this man is always on my mind and I know now that i am always on his mind. thanks

I know that having yours son, choices are now extremely hard for you, especially on matters of the heart. But if you are not in love with his father, then you can't stay together with him. Your son won't understand for a long long time why but he will eventually. If you are in love with someone and they are in love with you then you need to compromise with him. If he truly loves you then he will want to make time for you and compromise.
Your son is very young so he will not quite understand what is happening for a few years but explaining things lightly to him will help the situation slightly.
Does the current man you are with think you are in love with him? Because if he does, you need to let him know that you arent. You cant live a lie the rest of your life, to him or yourself.
Make sure that your son will be able to have contact with his father b/c it is definitely unhealthy for him to not know him.
But remember, it will be worse for your son if you are not a loving parent to your partner. Kids see they're parents and learn from them; if you arent in love with your partner, your son will figure that out eventually anyway.
And though you need to do what's best for your son, you need to follow your heart's desire b/c there is nothing worse than love that's been stripped away from you. Your son will understand when he falls in love himself, even if thats awhile from now.
Whatever makes you happiest is the right thing. And i know that whatever makes your son happy will make you happy as well so when you figure out a cure for both of your happinesses, then that will be the right route.

Hope that everything goes well...

Q: Ok so my friend is starting a web show and I need somthing to do on it. I will do anything thats not girly (I'm a tomboy).
