Okay my boyfriend of 4 months and i just broke up. I really liked him because it seemed as though we went together longer than that because we were so close for so long but neways, it seems like everysinve we broke up every week he has said something about me and it has gotten back to me. The only problem is I dont' give a u know what about him nemore so I guess he wants me to know that he is still there. Well neways he told my best friend that he was gonna get one of his girlfriends to fight me *(note: i am not afaid of neone and he knew that if i got really mad i will beat his ***)* so i told my mommy and she called and cursed him out. I mean I don't cry I dont really worry about it so if i keep ignoring him do you all think that that will continue to hurt him instead of me fighing and arguing back with him, if i stoop to his level it's like he one right? Someone please help me what should i do? I have like so many other boys that want to go with me but i just can't jump into a relationship, so if i do go with someone do u think that will make him mad? Please help (link)
I think you should definately not stoop to his level. Be more mature, in order to get over him ignore him and find a new love interest! Let him see what he lost!


ok i have to say im medium size stomach which im fine with its a good size but i have thunder thighs do u no any excerize i can do to make then smaller in 3weeks before i start swimming in gym (link)
Every single day go running for at least half an hour! Also, if you have a chair, put it in front of you, turn yourself around so your back is to the chair, put your hands on the seat of the chair and squat up and down up and down. Make sure that your knees are square with your hips and push yourself up and down with your thighs. Do at least 30. Another one is to lie down on your side with the palm of your hand holding your head, and lift your leg slightly up and down, and then switch sides, try and do 2 sets of 15 with each leg. The thing about this is three weeks is really soon, so in order to see improvements in three weeks you need to keep up with this EVERY DAY! GOOD LUCK!


Ok when I drink sometimes I can drink a lot and be normal but other times I can drink very little and get wasted. Why does this happen? (link)
It depends on what you're drinking, and what you ate that day! If you ate very little to nothing BEFORE you started drinking you are bound to be a what you call "cheap drunk"! If you ate a full meal and drink you will find your tolerance is much higher! Next time, if you don't want wobbly knees after two drinks, then make sure you eat a full meal!


All I can think is 'if I did this differently, then it wouldn't be like this" and how much it hurts to see him flirting with this girl he said he liked at the begining of the school year. He's the only guy I want and the only guy I didn't get tired of after a few weeks. And it's all my fault things are like this now. =[. Why do I always do this? I always push people away. It's always good BEFORE I start going out with anyone; when we're 'friends with feelings for each other', but once we're going out, I screw things up. I act differently, shy actually, because atleast when you're friends with them but still like them, they can't dump you, but I can't let loose once we are going out because then I keep worrying that they'll dump me if I do this, or I say that, or something. I started pushing him away from me and not talking to him as much as I did before we were going out, and then he dumped me. But if I weren't so scared of whatever I'm so scared of about it all, I wouldn't be in this situation of being so depressed over this.

Any advice? We haven't talked since he broke up with me over week ago. Not one word, but it doesn't seem like that is a problem for him since he's always talking + flirting with that girl stupid girl who flirts with everyone and every f-in guy likes her. I mean, I wish we would actually talk to each other, but it's awkward now. I can't just go up to him and be like "Hey"...
(link)
Of course you can go up to him and be like "HEY" why not? The problem here is, that you act differently once you're dating, right? So the key here is to be your same old self, he knew you when you were friends, and how you were acting when you were friends is the reason why he wanted to date you! You have to be yourself, if you're an outgoing, smiling, bubbly, funny person, that's who he wants, NOT SHY! So go up to him and talk to him, flaunt yourself when he's around show him how cool you really are and see that he feels it when you show him who you lost! Look a little hotter the next time you see him too! LOL! Good luck!


what are some ways to flatten you stomach that actually work? i don't want a 6 pack, just toned i guess. thanks, i rate. (link)
simply, 100 crunches a day and you'll see improvements in 3 weeks to a month! Every single day though (this is one thing you have to keep up),and you'll have a nice toned stomach. That's it! If it worked for me, it should work for you!


So, next year I want to try out for my school's Show Choir. My voice seems ok, but I want to know how to get it better, be able to sing higher notes etc. So, any tips anyone has would be helpful. 5's for good advice. (link)
I'm also a singer myself one thing i used to have to do is eat a spoonful of honey, everysingle day before i sang, it really helps to smooth out sound. Also, breath in through your mouth, and let all the air into your diaphragm without lifting your shoulders, keep shoulders relaxed, and open mouth wide, to sound out sounds. Also, breathing excercises help, pracrice everyday, as well as voice excercises. DO MI RE FA SO LA TI DO, then go an octave higher, and so on. Practice, practice, practice, that's all!Good Luck!


what POSITIVE effects come from birthcontrol? i heard it lightens your period and helps you lose weight. can you take it even if your not/dont think you are pregnant? (link)
Yes, well losing weight is actually not one of the positives you actually in some cases gain weight. Not a lot, just a little. Positive effects that come out of taking the birth control pill, is that you won't have to worry about getting pregnant as it is 99.99999% safe. Also the sex is much better if you have a steady partner, and knowledge of his sex record and health record. If you're not with a steady partner use a condom, to protect against diseases. Your boobs get a little bigger, which was a definite plus for me. lol. It does infact lighten your period as well as cut it down to less than seven days. There's a possibility that it could help you from getting cancer in your uteris, and it also regulates your period AND reduces the pain you may get with period cramps. So, in the end, being on the pill can be great, it's just that you have to remember to take them everyday at the same time. Oh yes, another thing to mention, it clears your pimples up on your face, yay! Anyway, the pill you have to take everysingle day not when your pregnant, you have to go to your doctor, get a PAP SMEAR (ugh) and see what pill would suit your body best! Then the doctor will give you a prescription if everything's good and healthy! Good Luck!


I just started a new job in the clothing department of a superstore. I want my coworkers to like me, what could I do to accomplish this? (link)
I think that you should go up to them introduce yourself "hi i'm so and so"! Ask them questions like "so how long have you been working here for?", "how do you like the work environment"?, "who should i look out for?", and see if anyone has any common ground. Ask other questions like where are you from, what music do you like to listen to, where do you like to hang out, just to ease you into a conversation. Once you talk to them and show them that you're cool, and kind then you should have no problem with co-workers liking you! Good Luck!


my friend is a freak how can i stop her from going out with this guy who is bisexual? (link)
Well what you need to do is just be there for her! Unless he's a jerk to her, don't get involved! It's not worth it, if she really likes this guy and she can sense that you don't accept, then she might not talk to you anymore! If the guy's bisexual it doesn't mean he's a freak, it's just sexual orientation, nothing more nothing less, he doesn't bite and he's not harmful! If anything i think you should stand back and just let them do their thing! Trust me, you don't want to lose a friend over this! Good luck!


((sorry if this is long!!!))
okay he's the background of whats happening ::
i was talkin to the guy i liked online and he asked who i liked. i said i didn't know and asked who he liked he said he didnt know. so im like well you have to like someone -a little-, and he still said no and asked who i liked since i had to liek someone a little too. and i said it'd be kinda pointless. and he asked why n all that stuff. i told him it was obviuos and he's like why do you like me a little? and i said yeahh and he's like well i kinda like you too. and i was happy and stuff.

soo that was like maybe a month and a half ago and i've heard all kinds of rumors. like he just wnats to sleep with me and that stuff. so i confronted him and everytime i talk to him (which is pretty oftne latley b/c im getting pissed) he's always like dont believe anything i really like you a lot, but he wont ask me out and he "doesn't know why". he says he'll call and stuff but he wont tlak to me at school and he hardly ever calls when he says he will. like seriously if he didnt tell me he liked me i'd have NOOO idea!!!


i mean you think he'd be giving me the hint to let it go and stuff by not calling but when i ask him if he just wants me to forget i ever said i liked him and just stay friends and things would be a lot better. but he says every time no please dont i really like you .. well how am i suppose to react to him ignoreing me .. i told him if to be HONEST with me and tell me to give up or not and he like is really clear that i shouldn't. but i dont know. i used to get the butterflys and all that stuff when i saw him, like i'd get nervous. but no im just plain mad, mad beats pissed! (link)
Honestly girl, drop him like a bad habit! Look, (1) he ignores you at school, (2)he's not being honest with you in other words he's playing games, (3) he doesn't call when he says he will, (4) there's rumours (for some reason) that he wants to sleep with you. If i were you i would get over him, because you're going to get hurt, guys like him are immature and nothing but trouble! It sounds to me that he wants only one thing! Ask him why he doesn't call and why he ignores you at school. If he doesn't have a good enough reason (which there isn't) let him go! I know it's easier said then done, but you don't want to get hurt!


What is Mental Abuse? (link)
Mental abuse is when people put you down by saying things that will hurt or offend you, or make you feel bad about yourself in any way! If anyone constantly says mean things to you, and you feel hurt by it or you know he/she is saying those things to hurt you and not to help you, then you are suffering from mental abuse. Trust me, you will be able to sense whether it's abuse or constructive criticism.


I'm 5'7" and I used to weigh 120 and then around 3 months ago i started losing weight but the past 2 weeks I've been losing alot more weight than usual. I mean I eat just as much as I used to and i still get the same amount of excersise but I weigh 99 pounds now and i need help. How do I gain any weight? (link)
Sometimes if there is a great transition or change of lifestyle in your life, this can affect a lot of women and their weight control. So first things first, you should try to figure out what you do differently now, in comparison to what you have done before this sudden weight loss. A lot of things i know that can help someone put a little meat on their bones is to eat a lot of carbs, like rice, and potatoes, heavy things like that. Also eating three meals a day consistently, might help.


Well heres my problem theres this one guy lets call him Joe. Well i've known Joe since like the 7th grade (im in 10th grade now) and i've always had a huge crush on him! it sux. well i think he knows and he's always like hinting at me that he likes me too. But, i dont want to get attached or become his girlfriend (he's asked me before) because he's got a rep of breaking girls hearts. But, i cant get him outta my head and i wanna get over him. but its so hard! what can i do to get over him? or should i go out with him and see what happens? but i dont want to get my heart broken i've been through it a lot. someone plz help (link)
If you guys were bound to be together the you would've by now! There's just something that you guys are doubting with eachother, that has been keeping you from dating this guy. Maybe, it's the fact that he has a rep for breaking girl's hearts? Whatever, the case may be, the only way for you to get over him is to find a new boy interest, keep yourself busy with other things like a good group of girlfriends, and ask them if they know any other guys they could possibly set you up with. I think that you guys seem more like bosom buddies than anything, so you don't want to put a friendship at risk, when you seem almost positive that you might get hurt! Trust me, nothing will be the same after!


alright guys. well. tonight i think i'm going to the movies with my boyfriend. and he wants to see into the blue. you know the one with jessica alba and the REALLY hott guy with the nice 6pack abs? alright. well the problem is that if we go i know the whole time he'll be like in his head thinking goddamn she's so fine blahblah about jessica alba. but i'm not like that when i'm with him. and i bet that later on he'd tell me how hot she looked in different sceens and stuff. so i'm like... well i'll see if i can go to that one even though i really don't want to.

i really don't think thats a "couples" movie.
thats like. horny guy alone. do you agree?

and if like you were me (if you're a girl) would it bother you that like he'll talk about that stuff after the movie, when he know's that you wont talk about how hot the guys is?

please help as soon as you can. (link)
In my opinion, i think he's just testing you! Testing to see how much you can take, with this whole jealousy thing. My boyfriend does the exact same thing, and i used to get really agitated and annoyed about it sometimes fuming mad. It's a bruise to the ego when you know, you should be in the limelight not Jessica Alba! I understand! What i think you should do, is go to the movie and show him that you are a strong-willed, self-confident woman. If he brings up Jessica Alba after the movie, you say "yah i think she was pretty hot too and leave it at that! He'll be absolutely dumbfounded, it would be so unexpected from you. The thing that men find attractive about a women, is when you do not criticize other women, but can sit there and say "yah, she is pretty hot!" even though it may bother you, it will make you feel better to say something good about someone else, rather than something critical. It will make you look better in front of your boyfriend too!


hey im a freshman in highskool and ive just been asked out by a freshman and he like almost in all my classes! when he asked me out, i though i shouldnt b a heartless bi*ch so i just said yes. i mean hes cute but like a lil brother cute. i feel like an ass**le. i will not say no now n tomm. i go bak 2 skool wat will i say wats next i dunt like him! oH MY GODDD ive made a big mistake n i need help PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me! thnxx (link)
Honesty in this case would be the best policy! Tell him how you feel, tell him that this isn't going to work out, because i don't feel the same way about you, that you feel about me! Tell him that you don't want to ruin the friendship, because you think he would be a cool friend. BUT don't tell him that you went out with him because you pittied him, some things are just better left unsaid! Remember the key is to tell him the truth, without hurting his ego! You shouldn't feel like a bitch at all, because you were being totally unselfish by putting his feelings before yours, now it's time to put your feelings first, and learn from your mistakes! Good luck!


I'm going to get a physical done next week. I got the last physical done about 2 years ago, and I remember they looked down my pants to see if I was healthy "down there." My question is, am I supossed to shave my pubic hair or not? I don't wanna look like an idiot when they look "down there."

Thnks bunches.. (link)
No, there is no rule that says in order to get a physical you need to shave your pubic hair! A physical is just that! They won't be focusing on anything else but your health internally! Plus you should never feel like an idiot, i mean....everyone has here down there! So in any case, if you still feel uncomfortable, ask your doctor if there is anything that you can wrap around your front part so your uncomfortable feelings can be avoided, so no one has to see anything! If not, wrap a sweater around your waist! If you have a male doctor, maybe getting checked out by a female doctor instead will also help with your comfort level! Good luck!
