is it wrong to have a guy friend who's gay and 31 go to a dance?? i'm 18!
(link)
sry, but that is quite an age difference...


my sister is always making me babysit for nothing no money what so ever what should I do? (link)
just say no?


me and this guy like eachother and we meet at a camp this summer. but we live 2 far away. I am going 2 see him soon. and some people think that hes going 2 ask me out. but i dont know if i would want 2 because of the distance. like i would but the distance is a big thing.

what should i do?

Thanks (link)
i'm kind of dating a guy in the marines...he lives as far away as someone can get, like if he goes any farther, he would be getting closer in the opposite direction. so i am of the vbelief that if you both make the effort and stay true to each other it will work out fine. he calls once a week, and we talk online whenever he has the time (whcih isn't often). i'm not gonna say it's not hard, because it most certainly is, but i think once he gets out of the corps, i will be glad i waited. good luck with your relationship! :)


what is the cytosol in a cell? i went to all these websites and it keeps saying the same thing but its not making sense. could anyone help me? like use it as an analogy would be easiest like the town hall is the center of the town like the nucleus is the center of the cell

thanks! (link)
cytosol is just like jelly stuff that carries other stuff around in the cell. hope this helps :)


Hey, I'm a fourteen year old female, and I have been smoking for around eight months. I'm sure that there are a huge quantity of smokers here, or people who know about smoking, and I have a few questions I would like answered, please.

1. Which is worse for you, cigars or cigarrettes?
2. [for the smokers] How old were you when you started?
3. Does smoking have a major impact on your voice, or is it only slight?
4. Recently, I tried to stop, and I threw a bitch fit at my friends.. I just went crazy! Was that an impact of the cigs? Am I addicted?

thanks... I'll rate, I promise! (link)
1. cigars are worse
2. n/a
3. it does affect your voice, but not till later in life
4. that prob was lack of nicotine....
hope this helps :)


Went out earlier tonight and stole as many flowers out of gardens as I posibly could, ended up with quite a lot of differant flowers.
Went to this girls house, who I have been out with at least 6 times, climbed over her apartment fence (questioning my sanity at being there in the middle of the night) scatered the flowers on her lawn and left.
I'm kinda scared that she will think I'm a weirdo stalker or something, but I really hope it makes her happy and special...
I have a idea that she likes me...kinda saw her being jeolous at another woman i was talking to one night (the woman was sweet, but happely married to someone else, and I REALLY like this girl)
anyway the real question for the modern age...would you consider this Romantic or Creepy? (link)
i think it's really cute

Right well we got a swimmin pool built in our school last month and when the girls are on their periods they aren't allowed to sit out but are forced to use tampons!!!!!! I haven't been on since it was built but oomg. I am so scared. I have never used a tampon and I'm never GONNA so don't suggest I do. Isn't it like illegal to force us to use tampons or somethin? My friend even got her rents in about it and they still made her use tampons!! What can I do on swimmin days that I am on? I'm not using a tampon but I'm not standin in the changing room arguing bout whether to use one or not with the PE teacher its embarassing!! (link)
go to the nurses office during that class?
i was afraid to use a tampon the first time, im not gonna try and convince you, i just wanna say it's not half as scary as it seems, and i honestly think they're so much easier - easier to carry, don't feel like youre wearing a diaper thing all the time, dont ever smell! lol.... well good luck!


I was wondering if anyone can help me make a plan of when to change "supplies" during my school schedule. I'm only in middle school, so no one uses purses yet. There's also this one girl who ALWAYS searches my pencil case to find gum and whatnot so I can't use my pencil case! I go to my locker before lunch time, and in past situations I have picked up a purse in which I put a pad in. But, I hate using purses because its SO obvious that when you carry a purse to the bathroom, you have your period!! I don't know any other ways! I don't want to buy anything at school because the dispncers have the worst brands. My tampon can not last ALL day and I'm a little scared to use jumbo because im sure they're hard to insert and other stuff. If anyone wants to contradict this idea please do so! I need some ideas! (link)
you can put stuff in pockets, like in your jeans or a hoodie pocket, or you can just tuck it down the front of your pants if you're going right to the bathroom. hope this helps :)


can you have sex while your pregnent?(serious question, no smart answers please.) all fives. (link)
yes you can


i am a comlumnist here but there comes a time when i need advice. c i have been w/ this guy for 4 months now and he seem to b slipping. i dont know what to say to him. he seems to be holding back all the time. i need help. please, tell me what to do! (link)
just ask him what's up is the best idea....let him know that you feel like he's not giving 100% and if there's something going on in his life, maybe you could help, or else he can just say sry and try to do better....hope this helps


I am asthmatic (not excessively so but I can't run for a long, long time) but I want to excersize. I already walk to school. Do you know of any other low-impact (and hopefully fun!) excersizes I can do? (link)
i am asthmatic too, i just take my inhaler before and after i run


What does Dolce vita mean? What does dolce mean? (link)
dolce means sweet, i'm guessing (from my other 3 languages) that vita = vida and would mean life....so the sweet life. hope that helps


Ok this could be long! I am in 8th grade and last year there was a kid in my class. EvEryone made fun of him and he was bipolar and had some mental problems. Well, yesterday 11/3. He attempted suicude for the second time. He jumped from the bak of a moving school bus and he is now in acoma. He broke his arm and probably his bak and neck too. He isn't dead though. ThEre was BLooD everywhere. The first time he tried to stab himself with scissors. I feel really bad because I was one to make fun of him. How can i make myself not feel so bad? ALl my freinds say im different since but im really scared for the kid. He seems like he could be nice. Plese help will rate. _-HeArtbreaker-__ (link)
One of my good friends committed suicide in April of 8th grade. It's been 5 years now, and it still hurts to think about him. He wasn't like my best friend, but we had known each other since we were babies, we had grown up together, and to not have him with us, when we went to junior prom and senior ball and graduation....there's no way to explain how much that hurts. If I were you, I'd go to him and tell him everything good you know about him, and try to be a friend to him - that's probably what he needs most. Tell him there's nothing bad enough to give up your life over. And after that, all you can do is pray for him.


Alright. So about 6 months ago I started talking to this guy. We'll say his name is " Kurt ". And at that time I was just getting over a break up from an 8th month relationship with " Wayne ".
Kurt had just broken up with a girl, " Ann " too. Kurt and I started hanging out every weekend, and I knew I liked him, but he was more of my best friend than anything. He knew me better than I knew myself, and would come get me at any hour in the morning if I was upset. I was the closest friend I had ever had. And I thought we'd be like that forever. After 3 months of hanging out, " Wayne " came back around. And I was definately not over him. So I got back together with him. I think it broke " Kurts " heart. After that, I felt me and Kurts relationship fading and we were drifting apart. And Kurts sister was always telling me that he missed me and he wanted to be with me. I knew he had liked me. Well, Wayne and I only dated a month. And after we broke up, I knew exactly who I needed to be with. But Ann had come back around. Kurt and I have messed around SINCE, and the sexual stuff we do, messes everything up every time and we've promised each other not to do anything again. But we don't talk anymore. And now he really likes Ann. We cant even look at each other. And the only time he calls is when he's drunk, and thats when all of his emotions come out. He tells me we'll keep talking, and he misses me. But then the next day its like we never talked. I dont know what to do. I miss him so much. I want what we had back. But more. (link)
it's possible that when he calls and his "emotions come out" it's just the alcohol speaking...a lot of times drunk people will tell everyone they talk to that they love them.


Ok...I always wash my face once a day. Sometimes 2 times. I can't keep the zits from coming! I need help. How do you prevent zits and blackheads!!?!?!?! (link)
sometimes the more you wash your face, the oilier it gets(the reason is your skin needs some oil to protect itself, so everytime you wash it off, it just makes more) so maybe on like thanksgiving break or something, try just washing your face every other day, and see if that works....good luck!

i had the same problem when i was in middle school. my best friends, who i had been best friends with since like kindergarten, one by one decided to not like me anymore, and to this day i have no idea why. i tried for about a year to makethem like me again, but it didn't work. finally, i moved on and made new friends. i'm in college now, and one of the original friends is just starting to talk to me again, she apologized for how she acted so many years back, and she says she wants to be my friend again. i'd say don't grovel at their feet, if they invite you out, go out with them, if not, find some new friends. best of luck!


i tend to pop my pimples so i ended up with these nasty dark scars. what is something i can do so these scars wont show up or either go lighter so they arent much more noticeable? (link)
i used pond's complexion perfecting moisturizer (it's in a white and pink tube) and i find that actually helps get rid of darker-colored skin. hope that helps :)


19/f

I met someone who was only in my hometown for a week, and we kissed, talked, and really connected. I seriously fell for him.

Of course, some people will think we were only together as rebounds, because he lost a friend and I was getting out of a serious relationship with someone. Regardless, he made me feel happy and alive.

I gave him my email address and phone number, he gave me his favorite hat. It's been over a week, and I have not heard from him. Should I just forget him, or make an effort to contact him?

I've been searching for a phone number/email but my search so far has come up fruitless. I don't know what to do. He's in the military and I would just love to talk to him before he has to go to Iraq again. However, I don't want to completely freak him out and seem "stalkerish." So even if I found a number, I don't know if I'd have the guts to call it.

It worries me that he hasn't tried contacting me yet. Maybe he thinks that since I was going through a lot that he should just back off. Maybe he felt nothing for me and really is a jerk. I don't know. Should I be patient, or make a move?

I am trying to forget about him and trying not to make the relationship anymore than what it was. It's hard because I keep thinking about him. I just need to tell him thanks (the reason is very personal and complicated so I don't want to go into detail.) Maybe if I could just tell him that, then I could move on. But for now, I feel like I have something I seriously need to get off my chest and it's driving me insane not being about to explain things!! (link)
I have kinda the same situation, but it's an internet thing....I really wanna meet this guy, because he seems so nice. He's called a couple times, and he's even sent me a couple packages. When he calls, we usually talk for an hour, and it goes by sooo fast, but then he gets disconnected. He was home on leave once and we kept making plans to get together, but I had just left for college (I'm a freshman now) and he had agreed to drive the hour to come visit me, but then just didn't show up. I'm not sure what happened, he said he had problems and missed his flight and got in big trouble at the base when he finally arrived, so I don't wanna like bitch him out for it, but at the same time, I feel like he was just playing around. Since then, I still talk to him, and he's still really flirty and talks about "next time he comes home" meeting up, but I'm not sure if I would seem desperate to go out with him after he basically blew me off the first time. What do you think?


Ok im talking to this guy right now and weve talked about hooking up and stuff and were both pretty sure we want that but then theres this other guy and hes just another one of my friends but he likes me alot and i just dont know how to let him off like easy..any ideas please help (link)
if you haven't done anything to lead the second guy on, don't worry about him. just don't like make out in front of him, and he'll be fine....


Okay this summer I may have to babysit my next door neighbor...every weekday (not too sure on the days and time) but anyways...she's maybe 12 or 13..either way she is ALOT younger than I am and i dont like younger girls all too much...anybody know what 12-13 year old girls would like to do? She has a trampoline in her backyard and i'm sure shes got loads of board games but i'm not sure what to do at all...can anyone help? (link)
i think by 12 or 13 they kinda wanna just be left alone....the parents probably dont think she is old enough, and she will be embarrassed if anyone knows she's being babysat. so you'll probably just get to chill in the house and watch tv all day, getting paid for it. that's how it works when i babysit a 7 and 9 yr old every day. it does get boring, if you have a car maybe you ccan take her to the mall or something? but make sure to check with the parents first
