about

I'm elmo! I'm a 15-year-old girl from manhattan, and I like to help people!

advice

Last night i got fingered... how long will it take before it doesnt hurt down there?

Well it usually doesn't hurt...maybe you were scratched or popped your hymen. If you experienced bleeding after you probably did break your hymen or "pop your cherry". If whoever fingered you just used more fingers than they should have then it should go away relatively soon.

hey um... iwas wonderin when signing yearbooks comes around i dont want to just sign my name i want to write something sweet and funny something that the person will remember me by do u have any good suggestions cause i cant think of any thnx bunches ur da bomb hehe

If you want to write something to remember you by, try writing an inside joke between the person, or a joke from the years you spent at school. You could also write a quick memory you have of that person, or something you did with them, and if all else fails wish them luck for the upcoming year.

i hear constantly about 14 year olds having sex... this is scary. what has the world come to? one day people will be having sex at 8 and then people will finally realise there is a problem. i dont see why 14 year olds have sex when they are so young... at 14 i was like, gross, why have sex? i'm 17 now and i am a virgin... i am proud of that and i like it coz guys respect me and i know a guy isn't going out with me for sex. what i want to know is why do girls lose that respect at such a young age? and how young were people when they lost their virginity???
- confused

I am fourteen and I know alot of people I hang out aren't versions [sometimes depending on what you consider virgin]. I think that with us, at least it's not even about being cool anymore. In seventh grade and some parts of eighth grade people bragged about having oral sex or sex but it's not really like that anymore. People tend to not have boyfriends/girlfriends anymore, they just hook-up with friends so you can have the friendship and great relationship and a sexual aspect as well without any commitment. I think that oral sex and sex is so common now that people don't really think too much of it anymore. I don't know anyone who would have sex with a stranger but love and commitment to each other doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
I'm still a virgin, but sex isn't gross to me at all and it's tempting sometimes when I've had the opportunity, so I can sort of see why my friends do what they do. There is a part of me that wants to not be in a relationship, and have sex with a friend so I know what the terms of the relationship are and everything is clear and at the same time I'm doing it with someone I care about. I don't think I would do that, simply because I don't think it would be fufilling. I've made out with random people before, and people that I care about and I tend to enjoy it a little more with the people I care about.

my friend has kissed my very "friendly" friend and we have gone out a couple time and we still kiss occasionaly...but we havnt made out. the friend that has kissed him said he is the best kisser..and she has kised a lot of guys and said he was the best. i know he wants to do things with me but i get really nervous. should i just let him go for it? cuz i am very "blonde" and i tend to mess things up.a nd this is really important to me. my girl friend said she would teach me how..but i dont know what to do.


HELP!! I RATE HIGH!!

Kissing is a really natural thing. First kisses tend to be not so great but after that you'll get the hang of it. It's not something that can really be taught, I think. You'll find out what you like later on.

ohk im really scared! i think i MIGHT be pregnet. but see i did not ever have sex! ever! but i KIND of did anal.like it went it half way. can u get pregnet from anal? and like i always get my period before my mom, but she got hers today and istill dont have mine and im like really scared

No you are not pregnant. You can only get pregnant from vaginal sex. Your cycle is probably just changing, if you're young which you seem to be or if you lost a lot of weight that could be the cause.

I have two children and desperately want a third, i am currently having casual sex with the father of my two kids as not together anymore i want to get pregnant by him again but he dont want no more kids. I have tried stealing sperm from his condom and self inseminating myself. I want to know how long sperm lives in condom and if what im doing can get me pregnant?

I would suggest not using his sperm as he does not want another child. Why don't you go to a sperm bank?

does anybody know how hard it is to get into princeton b/c i am freaking out about getting into it. i am a straight A student but will it be enough?

Princeton is really hard to get into. You need high boards, tons of extra curriculars, and you have to be in the top 5% of your class to start with. It helps if your family is alumni or very rich and if you've done summer programs there.

Ok... well here's the problem.... i have no clue wat to do with my hair... I've tried sooo many products... let me tell you my routine so maybe you can help me... i take a shower in the morning... i use both shampoo and conditioner.. i always brush my hair while the conditioner is in... after i do that i put on frizz ease... then i either wrap my head in a towel till it's dry or i have to leave.. in either case i put it in a ponytail... because it always ends up being frizzy... the frizz-ease doesn't work at all.. it always just makes my hair greasy... ((and frizzy))... anywhoo'z i've tried puttin gel in... i've tried so0o many different products... biosilk, tresseme, garnier... etc.. but none of them work... i've also tried the dryer sheets thing too.. that didn't work either... i've tried to alter my routine... maybe by not brushing it.. or not blowdryin it.. i've tried it without conditioner.. i've tried everything.. what else can i do?? sry it's so0o long by the way..
~>Rae

My hair used to be kind of frizzy and then I switched to this stuff called nature's gate herbal shampoo and conditioner. My hair doesn't frizz at all now. I would also try putting in the frizz ease in and then blow drying your hair and then running a little more in after you finish blow drying.

ok so I think I'm starting to like this guy! He's a really good guy who isnt into drugs or drinking or anything like that; i love it! AND i think he's beginning to like me too. Ya know how you can just kind of tell? Ok well the problem is he just broke up with his gf of 1 1/2 YEARS!!!!! I love that he can commit for that long and all but... well I hung out with her this weekend at a party and we got along really well. She's the sweetest person but shes tough and funny... if that makes any sense? Well I was talking to my other friend who is better friends with her than me, and she told me that the ex gf was still really protective of him or whatever. The Ex is going to beat up anyone who trys to get with him, even though she is all over every guy!! I know it sounds like their relationship might not be over but i think it is!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!

Talk to the guy, tell him your concerns and hopefully he can talk to the ex and get her to stop being so over protective.

my boobs are uneven one of them is smaller. i have to wear padded bras to make them even! is this normal?thanks appriciate it

No one's boobs are exactly the same size unless they are fake. Some people only have a slight difference and some people have an extremely noticable one. It is, however normal for them to be different sizes.

ok i have a question, whenever my boyfriend does something to me "below the belt" my legs start shaking and twitching is that normal and what does it mean?

You might be nervous but it's more likely that you are about to orgasm.

ok im a girl and i get turned on very easily i guess because anytime i guy touches me in the right way or kisses me or sometimes holds my hand i get really wet "down there".. is that normal for girls to get really wet at the smallest things an to even get wet?!

it just means your turned on, and your body is giving you a natural lube.

Ok.. My friend wants to kill her self and when we were at a party she locked her self in a closet and tried to find something sharp to kill her self with and I am really scared for her!

plz help me!

My friend has tried to kill herself a number of times and ended up in the hospital. Time is of the essence, trust me. If this person actually wants to kill themself they are unstable and need to be in therapy, or admitted to a hospital immidiatley. You have a responsibility to inform her parents of what she tried to do. You can not take ANY chances with this.

I don't know why, but my stomach always hurts. It hurts at LEAST once a week. And it's not cramps, it's just like a stomach ache. But I get them all the time! I hate it, and I don't know what to do. The other day I got one in school and I had to go to my next class and I was afraid I'd get sick. I mean, I never do, but it feels like it. Does anybody know what this is, and what I can do?

maybe it's an ulcer. go to the doctor.

ok well this is something that i have already told my mom, and she said that she gets that to sometimes, but there is nothing that she can say that will stop it... but i really think there is something i can do! ok so here is the problem: i know that you get a little bit of white stuff that comes out "down there" but i always get ALOT of white "gunk" down there, it is always al over my underwear, were i have to wipe it out, because it smells, and i also get this irritation almost irritated pain down there to! is there any thing that i can do to treat it? i dont think it is a yeast infection though... but any help...thanks in advance!

That sounds like an infection, you should definetly see a doctor because it could be serious.

I really love the laid-back, hippieish, original style of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...
Does anyone know where to get clothes that look alot like theirs for not too much money...I'm really not into spending 200 dollars on a teeshirt:-P

I'd try searching vintage and thrift stores, they generally have concert tees and stuff for cheap, it's the same stuff they sell at Fred Segal and those boutiques but less sizes :( and and lower price :). I'd also look at urban outfitters, and if you want printed tees forever 21.

I am 14/f and don't tell me i`ve made the biggest mistake of my life...i know i've made a mistake and i`m gonna follow my responsibilities. My boyfriend, who I have been with for 11 months, has been in jail for 6... he just got out and we really like each other you know? Well, while he was in jail-i had a little side thing...with a 16 year old black male...lets call him mike..me and mike really liked each other and did it a lot..but when we did it on the first day of my period-something happened. Last night, my stomach was hurting sooo bad while talking to my boyfriend. So bad that my mom took me to the emergency room. She decided to give me a pregnancy test..and it`s positive. I`m nervous and all and 6 weeks pregnate in the 9th grade... I have the money and skills to support it..but MIKE doesn`t want anything to do with it. My dad wants it aborted but I want it...my mom does too. What would you do in my situation? And how do i explain to my boyfriend who is trying to get his life back on track?

Personally I would have an abortion, or atleast give it up for adoption. You can't have a baby now, you just are not ready for it. And as for your boyfriend, explain that he was away and that you want to put the past behind you.

theres this friend I have.. she hates being fat.. she gains weight really quickly.. recently shes been purging.. I tell her the stuff that can happen from doing that and i want to help her stop.. shes been doing ok but she made herself throw up again on christmas and boxing day cuz her parents made her eat alot and she didn't wanna screw their xmas up for them.. I want to help her but i really dunno what I can do for her now...she doesn't listen to what I say about what could happen to her health cuz shes sticking pens down her throat and stuff.. her parents force her to eat meat and she hates meat so she wants to throw that up too.. please give me advice on what I can tell her to help her stop or what I can tell her to tell her parents to be more understanding about her being a vegeterian without letting her parents no what my friend is doing.. thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I hope that you reply to this with helpful advice.. it would be greatly appreciated.. thanks - happy holidays!

As a person who has been in a situation like that I don't think that there is alot that you can do. I would try convincing her to talk to a guidance counselor or a therapist. Statistics aren't going to scare her out of what she's doing. She needs to work it out, and realize why she does this and what she can do to stop. A therapist is really the best way to do that.

yesterday i was watching tv and i changed tha chanel and it was porn!! i didnt even bother to change it and i wanted to watch it and im 15/f is that normal?!?! i got really horny and i wanted to call my bf to come over! whats wrong with me?!?!

watching porn is normal, and it's normal to get horny, nothing is wrong with you. i would think it was more weird if you didn't ever get horny.
