Q: ok i am 13/f and i like my neighbor who is 16/m and well we are really good friends and everything i really really like him and i tried to not think about him cause if i tell him and he isn't into it then we probably won't be very good friends he is very supporting he went to all my baseball games and basketball and we hang out like evry day i have tried flirting with him but i get mixed messages i dono wat to do should i tell him how i feel or should i just keep my feelings to myself please help me i am so confused i WILL rate really high
i think this is a very hard place you're in i honestly think that you shouldn't tell him yet but think also that he might be doing all these things because he probably still wants to get to know you. I mean if you feel like just telling him just go on because is something you feel. If things don't work out i don't want you to feel sad just think that you're still young and boys come and go. Best of luck.

Q: ok well a couple weeks ago my best friend and i got into this huge fight .. she was mad at me for almost a week and i dont think she knows but i cried a lot and i am 100% sorry and would never do anything like that agen.

as far as i can tell things are back to normal now but how do i know for sure whether our friendship is really mended? i know it will take a while but how doi show her that she can trust me and i would never do anyhting like that again?

please help me ill rate 5s!
i think that when it comes to something you did it's hard for your best freind to get over something that really might have hurt her and as your relationship as freinds continues you have to understand that you can forgive but not forget. Give her sometime to think and figure out herself that after all everybody makes mistakes and that everybody deserves a second chance. And so she'll eventually let go and start feeling like she can trust you again. I think you should talk with her about what you feel and if that doesn't work it's upto her to make her decision . Remember don't blame it on yourself cause you are human and nobody is perfect.

Q: My step father has been forcing me to have sex with him for a few years now. When I was 8-9 he brought home a porno tape and showed it to me. I called my mom and told her that it was a sick tape and he threw it away. After that, my dad has brought porno tapes for us to watch and has had sex with me various times. I hate it when this happens, but I've been afraid to tell anyone!! He taps my ass and touches it and stuff. What do I do to make it stop?!?!
i find this a very hard situation especially when i have only been molested myself. I think that till this time you have to take it to the next level if you don't feel comferatable yourself and don't be afraid because just like it's affecting you right know it can really affect you in the future and hurt you in many ways yet you have to really help yourself and tell somebody who ever you feel closest too wether it's your freinds, mom , who ever you feel that you could tell. best of luck

Q: Okay so I masturbate like 3-4 times a week and I like to alot. The problem is, I feel so perverted and gross. How can I sto pfeeling so disgusting? 14-f
14-f Hey, I am so glad you asked this question because I know there are so many teens out there who have the same questions and feelings as you do. I bet it feels disgusting but I want you to know that it isnt.(I bet you heard this alot) It is a beautiful thing to know one's body and explore without having to have sex with someone. You dont need to do it less, you just need to realize that if you enjoy it then there is nothing wrong with it.

Q: I'm really troubled by the way a close friend of mine seems to be compromising her values for her boyfriend. She has always been really strongly against illegal drugs of any kind. And her boyfriend uses drugs. I think it's just pot, not anything harder (though I'm not sure), and he's not a serious addict or anything, but that's still enough to bother her a ton. Even worse is his attitude about it. She complained that him using drugs made her uncomfortable, and then the next time he was going to a party, he told her that he wanted her to come along only if she promised to "behave" (that's the exact word he used) and not complain at all. She's told him that this bothers her, but she also keeps making excuses for him, and won't stand up for herself.

I really want to discuss this with her, try to pump up her self-esteem and encourage her to stick up for herself and her values -- except for two problems. One is that she and I used to date, and she knows that I still like her, so I'm worried that she'll think I'm just trying to break up her relationship. The other is that I found out most of this stuff by snooping around. I only did that because I was worried about her, but it was still wrong, and I'm sure she'll still be mad if she finds out.

So even though she needs help, I don't think I can say anything -- I just have to let her figure it out herself, even if that means she'll get hurt. Am I right about that? Is there anything I could do (maybe something a lot more subtle than bringing up the topic directly)?
THis is a real serious subject. I mean think about it your friend is surrounded by a pothead. he says he's no addict, well tell me how can you be sure. No you can not let your friend get hurt. If he was willing to ask her to come along then what do expect to happent the next time? Rape? Using drugs? Death? These are just a few of the possicbilities. Look try once more to just sit and talk to her. Be sincere, talk from the heart. If this doesn't work then talk to your parents and her parents. It is only fair that you tell them what is going on. She will probably be realy mad, but when she comes to her senses she will realize what a great friend you are and thank you. Would you rather let her hurt herself or do something about it? I know you already know your answer. Listen to what your gut and heart is saying, in the end it will feel much better and you will thank yourself.

Q: Im a 15/f, 16 in april.
okay for some reason i think its really odd to date a guy whos like 17. but then id love to date a guys whos turning 15. i know usually everyone wants to date guys who are older and taller then them but i mean i think its kinda gross well not gorss but just weird if i would date a guy whos like 2 years older then me or 2 years younger. is there something wrong with my brain or is that just my personality towards guys i like?
Look. everyone has there own way of thinking and falling in love. There is nothing wrong with you. You have to do what feels right to you and nothing else matters. At the same time you should also see that dating someone older or younger is not weird. There are people in this world who have this type of taste. Just like you want people to respect you for who you are you should respect other.. Dont close your self, mind and heart. You may find a wonderful guy who is so much older than you. In this situation, what would you do let go a loving man just coz he's older? I just want you to know that there is nothing wrong with your taste in guys. Who knows someday your taste might change, as you are still growing up!

Q: I'm 14 and I started my period like 3 years ago. I thought that when you started your boobs grew faster and stuff. But mine havn't grown that much. Like I still have cleavage with a push-up bra but I thought I'd be bigger by now. My moms' are really big so she told me, mine would be too. So is there a reason why this is happening? Is it normal? Thanks for your help in advance!
don't worry this is totally normal i'm just 13 and developed my cuzin is 18 and i have more chest then her. She is always telling me how ashamed she should and she brings herself down I think it's normal you have nothing to worry about afterall you are still 14 and as you grow older you can be a late developer besides that hey be happy with what you have look at yourself and you're beautiful just because you're not as developed as others doesn't mean that thier any different than you it's normal. Don't worry about.best of luck.

Q: well i like this boy and he liked me back well and then i was really mean to him because i was in a bad mood and i never meant all that stuff i said well i never said i hate you ore anything i just never answered him :-( well so now he just pretends i dont exsist and everytime i look at him he looks away and i really like him! so does he still like me? please i really want to know! THANKS :-)

well i totally understand the fact that you was angry and not in a good mood we all have our days but sometimes when we are mad we take it out on someone else and we don't realize that the person you are hurting is the person you most love. I think you should try to talk to him and explain what happen yet if that doesn;t work try writing him a letter i can't say that it will definetly work if it doesn't and he won't listen think that you're still young and you have so much more and that probably if he doesn't get over it noticing that it was a mistake probably he wasn't meant to be for you Best of luck.
