I'm a 15 year old guy and, as I write this question, I have a pacifier in my mouth.

I was wondering, what do you think of a teenager secretly sucking on a pacifier?

Do you think I am normal? What should I do?

Thanks (link)

It's strange.. but I think that it's pretty awesome. Try switching that out with a sucker..

I don't know about other girls, but I'm always attracted to a guy with a sucker or lollipop.. it means their a good kisser.. most of the time :p


i am insanely scared of the world ending. i am soo scared that 12/21/12 is true. is it true? if it's not true, what is proof that it's not true and what are some sources to lead to the idea that it's not true. (link)
While we can never be sure that the world will end on the 21st of December in 2012, there is a large probability that the earth has a much longer time to thrive. What may seem like fact is most likely fiction. A lot of the time, with the recent literature and film productions, the fine line between fact and fiction is blurred. http://archive.cyark.org/2012-truth-fiction-and-the-popular-imagination-blog?gclid=CJnSxN_Ou6ACFQ2lagodfHne0Q

Don't worry yourself about the end of the world. The truth is, no one knows the exact date of the Earth's ultimate distruction--not even the oh-so-brilliant Mayans--except for One. The Earth may thrive for another million years, or may whither away into nothingness tomorrow. Living in fear will only make you miserable, it won't help in any way. Only God knows when the world will end.


i go to a small high school and i pretty much know most of the people. me and my boyfriend of 2 years broke up about 3 months ago and i think its time for me to meet new people....but idk how to do this? like you don't just go out on the road and yell when you see a goodlooking guy and i don't wanna seem desperate...so how do i meet new people my age? and i dont know of any underage clubs or anything.. (link)
A good way to meet new people is getting a hobby or joining a club outside of school. Don't be shy but don't be too outgoing, just be yourself. If someone doesn't like you, that's their problem--at least that's how I see it. So, yeah, I would suggest joinind a club or getting a hobby. It's a great way to meet new people outside of school. Although it may cost money, but what doesn't these days ^^


15/f
I've suffered from an ovarian cyst which i felt like completely ruined my life for a couple of months. it was extremely painful and at times i would find myself unable to hold myself upright and end up simply having to crouch over in pain and at times cry. I hear that ovarian cysts are reoccuring and have what some might see as an irrational fear of getting another. i dislike having my periods in general and am wondering if it would be reasonable to ask my mother about maybe getting me started on birth control. also, although i've been thinking this over for quite some time before, i've also recently just started having sex. my mom's unaware of this. do you suppose she would find my reasons reasonable enough for her to consider putting me on birth control? thank you. (link)
I think it is a perfectly good reason to get birth control. I also am 15/f and would be terrified if I were in your shoes. My mom had an ovarian cyst as well and I have seen how much pain she was in. I think it would only be reason that your mother should get you birth control (even if you leave out the sex part). I hate my period as well, but I don't have another excuse (a good excuse) to ask for birth control. I think you have two strong reason why your mother should get you birth control. ;)


I am asking this for a friend. my friend like to know where it says in the bible that clebrated christmass and jesus birthday. sorry bad grammer.
(link)
The birth of Jesus is in the book Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. Although it is not on December 25, we celebrate it that day because of the Pagen traditions.

There a few books in the New Testaments that portray Jesus' birth.

"Christmas" was not in the Bible, only the birth of Jesus. (I know, it's confusing) Like I said, Christmas is a tradition started by the pagens to celebrate Jesus' birth.


My boyfriend, 15 and I, 14 are very close. We've been together for a year and a half. He's NOT gay. I'm just wondering why we don't do anything. We've never been on a date. Well, football games but nothing specified, "date" material. We HAVEN'T KISSED. We do some things though. We touch each others legs? I've kissed his neck? We hug (: haha. I just want to KNOW that i'm turning him on. He says I do but... I'm just not too sure. When we're at lunch, I'll touch his leg and as my hand gets more "up there" (not his penis just upper,upper thigh) He won't let. He'll move his legs closer together and he'll move to holding my hand instead. What does this mean? Do I turn him on? I know this is a good guy, but... seriously?
I'm just seriously wondering why he hasn't DONE anything. Can any guys or girls please tell me, because I just can't figure it out. (link)
Hi, I'm sorry for your stressed state of mind. Don't worry too much over this--he could have several reasons why he might be acting like this.

One, he might not approve of PDO (public displays of affection). He gets uncomfortable knowing that people might be watching him show his affection for you. It isn't that he is embarrassed of you, but he doesn't feel comfortable with the idea of everyone watching him while he is giving (or receiving) affection to/from you.

Another factor could be he is "saving" himself for marriage (or he might not be ready yet). Some people have different things that turn them on . . . for some people it's simply the feeling of touching skin. He doesn't want to get too close because he might not be ready for that sort of thing. You might be turning him on too much . . . ;)

There could be more reasons, but these seem to be the most obvious. He is comfortable with some levels of affection, but has tabooed anything more than that. I wish you luck! You could try talking to him (if you haven't already) to see why he is acting strange.

Hope I helped in some way . . . ;) good luck!


***BEFORE ANYONE COMMENTS SAYING HOW UNHEALTHY AND HOW I HAVE A DISORDER, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I KNOW THIS AND THAT EATING DISORDERS AND BEING HEALTHY IS NOT WHAT MY QUESTION IS ABOUT SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PLEASE DONT!!


i dont eat all week (besides coffe with half and half) and then weekends i binge like crazy and take laxatives.

this weekend i did that except i took the laxatives to late and i think i fully digested everything i ate (which was ALOT)

this week i have not eaten yet (besides coffe and some vegetables) i just tried on a dress that i am wearing tomorrow and my stomach looks huge and wide and its really not flattering. why does my stomach look huge? how do i fix it? i hate it and it makes me eat less. (link)
The reason your stomach is looking larger is because when you starve yourself as you are doing your metabolism drops severely, meaning every chance at fat you get it will store it instead of burning it. It also means that you are losing weight from your muscle but gaining weight from fat. By over indulging on the weekend it made your body store all of the fat gained from the food and burned none of it because it is in "survival" mode.

To "fix" it, you would have to change your dietary habits. Depending on how long you've been keeping this regimen up, your metabolism is probably extremely slow. Working out is another way to relieve the situation.


i know its not healthy AT ALLL
but i need to know how to fast for ONE DAY.
thats it.

i wont do anymore i just need tips and tricks.....

thanks (link)
Well, it depends. Are you fasting ALL foods or just a group?

If it were just a group, such as sugars, meats or other, it would be relatively easy to do.

The best thing to do for fasting is drinking plenty of thick drinks throughout the day to releive the feeling of hunger.

Another thing to do is to distract your mind. Once you start feeling hungry, start distracting yourself by doing something simple yet it needs your full attention to do.

Try staying away from strenuious activities. The more things you do, the more calories you burn and the hungrier you become making it harder to resist the temptations of foods.

I hope you found what you were looking for!


So I got the enV Touch around July 2009 when my enV 2 fell into a lake.
It's not perfect. It shuts off randomly and sometimes it resets the background pictures, but I can deal with that.

But today (12-14-09) I tried to send a text in class and discovered the light to when I flip open the phone doesn't turn on anymore.
The keypad buttons still light up, just not the screen light.
I have no idea why.
Anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Also, if I go to the verizon store to get it fixed/get a new phone, will it be free since it obviously a problem with the phone?
If it's not free, about how much will it cost?
(link)
I don't know a way to fix it, but I do know that if you take it to the verizon store it should be free.

Something similar happened to my phone. It would just freeze and the screen would go blank everytime I pushed a button. I took it to the store and they replaced it for free since it was a glitch with the phone and I didn't cause it too brake.


Okay 15/f here might be long but okay. Well me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 2 months now and my mom doesnt like him at all. Well the other day me and her was talking and she told me that she didnt want me seeing him now that i really like him i just want him to know that i love him and everything she told me that if i am seeing him when im not allowed to then i am grounded but i really like him and i want to stay with him but i want to break up with him to just for a couple of days and then i want to get back together with him so should i end it or should i just stay with him and just say to my mom we are broken up? (link)
Don't lie to your mom. It would just get you into a whole other mess, plus it would lose her trust in you. If you really like this guy tell him what your mom said. If he really cares for you he will understand.

Tell your mom that you really like him and don't want to lose him. Ask her if you can still see him, even if it is just as friends. Maybe even try to negotiate. Ask her if you can go on group dates or something where there are some other people around.

Trust me, if he is a keeper he'll wait until you are able to date him. If he doesn't want to wait, he isn't worth the trouble. :) I hope I helped!


I asked what would be better for amatuer animation, touch screen or tablet, and you said both have pros and cons. Could you list any of these or think of some product names you like? any advice would be helpful, i dont want to regret which one i decide to buy thanks in advance :) (link)
Touch screens are easier too mess up. All you have to do is accidentily lay your hand on the wrong place (but, with ctrl z it is easily corrected). With the touch screen, I think it is a little more accurate since it would be more similar to drawing on a paper. Touch screens need to be calibrated every so often, and if not then the accuracy goes off balance. The touch screens are much more expensive.

The drawing tablets are easier for these type of things as well. They are way less expensive than touch screens and offers more compatible ways for drawing. They aren't easy to mess up and don't need to be calibrated. The problem is that it takes time to get used to it.

I'm unfamiliar with any names, sorry to say. But with either one, I'm sure you'll be happy. There really isn't a bad decision. They are both really useful and have their own unique qualities. If I were you, I would choose the drawing tablet since it is less expensive and is harder to mess up. Still, in the end it is your decision. :)


I just bought anime debut 6, an amatuer animation program, and was wondering whether something like a wacom bamboo board and pen (drawing tablet) or a sort of touch screen computer in pen (sony has a nice one i think) would be better to use with it. any advice appreciated (link)
Out of experience, I would say they are pretty equal. They both have their problems and their advantages. I think touch might be a bit better, but one of the main problems is it can be easily messed up. It's really a personal opinion. They are both convenient, so you should pick which one you want more. I hope I answered your question. . !


Well first off I am a girl and 16. And i had an ex girlfriend from a completely different state, we fell in love (for real) and just talked on the phone all the time. She still loves me but left me because of the distance. We are still great friends though. So i got a new girlfriend, she is amazing to me but i keep comparing her to my ex in my mind. I still talk to my ex a lot and i love her so much, I'm going to meet her in the near future. But my now girlfriend Is in love with me too. I love both of them, but have no clue what to do. My ex is in a different state, and my girlfriend is here right now. But i think i love my ex more. Please help D= (link)
this is a difficult situation. only your heart can really tell you what to do. you love them both, one more than the other, but that's all that really counts. if you are happy with your current g/f, you shouldn't break her heart, but if you arent happy with her you should let her know so she can find someone that is able to love her as much as she loves them. if you are able to keep them both, that's reall good. but maybe you should talk to your ex about how you feel. sorry if this isnt what you were looking for. i hope i helped as much as i could. good luck!


so the boy i have a huge crush on might be coming to my house at christmas with his family. my parents an his are friends and my mom was talking about inviting then round one night after christmas, and was wondering what could i say, some good convo starters, so that we can get to know each other abit better, but the only problen is he has a girlfriend but weather they will still be together at christmas i dont know, any help please ? (link)
First of all, he has a g/f so you shouldnt really be planning ways to talk him up. Imagine if he were your b/f and some girl started flirting with him, how would you feel? It's not only your feelings you are deeling with; it's yours, his and hers. There's a 60/40 chance he will still be dating her by Christmas. That being said, it's still okay to establish a friendship with him--this might be unpleasurable at times, but at least you will be in his life. Some good conversation starters would some about school, music, occupation, animals, friends, favorite restaurantes, what they got for Christmas, etc. Just make sure you aren't too flirty when you talk to him (in the case that he is still in a relationship) or you may drive him away from you.

Hope I helped!


I'm doing a myth project and I decided to make a movie about the 12 labors of Heracles. All I know is how to record it and what I wanna do is make some modifications to it on my laptop. How can I do that? Like for example one of the labors is Heracles has to kill the Cerberus which is a 3 headed dog I think and I don't quite have the props for that so what I'm thinking is having a cut out picture of one just right in the moive where the scene takes place so it looks like the person is fighting it. What software do I need for that? I basically need what can let me do like speical effects to the movie with a laptop like add an intro before it and then staff credits at the end. This is my first time doing this so I really need help with this kind of stuff. Oh one more thing, how can I do it where I take like a scene from another movie and add it to mine. Like for when he fights the hydra i could jsut take that scene from God of War and maybe add a picture of my head onto Kratos' body and it looks like that I'm fighting the hyrda? Basically put a pic of someones head onto another person's body kind of thing (link)
I use windows movie maker. it's really good with doing that kind of stuff. it depends what type of laptop you have.


im pretty skinny everywhere except my calves and thighs... quick easy exercises can i do to make them thinner quickly? (link)
lay on your back on a flat surface and raise your legs directly up (w/ bottom of your feet parallel to the ceiling) then lower them to about six inches from the floor and pump them (moving them up and down in a swift motion).

it works really good!


As you may have guessed I am a redhead. I get teased a LOT mostly by other girls but I never have anything to say to come back with so I either cry or get really mad and walk away.

What are some good comebacks for people who make fun of me just because I am a redhead? You would think it was a crime to have red hair the way they talk to me. :(

Thank you! (link)
Tell them it isn't your fault you have a personality that matches your crazy awesome hair.

These girls are obviously jealous because i think redhair is SO AMMAZINGLY CRAZZY AWESOME. They're just jealous.


Hi! I'm from Miami.... and I am planning to move to California. I am almost done with college and since I'm a Mass Communications/Broadcast Journalism major, I think there's a lot of opportunities there. I also had an internship that has opened a lot of doors, but what better place than California? I am in love with the idea of living in California, but I'm terrified of earthquakes. I have a lot of anxiety and I have dreams that I'll be at the gym, and there will be an earthquake. Or that I'll be at work, and it will hit... or that my boyfriend and I will be driving, and then an earthquake will happen. I'm terrified! I did a little research on it, but it's not the same as getting an opinion of someone who lives there. If you live in California, can you tell me a little bit about it? And if there are any earthquakes... and what their like? I would appreciate it greatly! Thank you! (link)
I live in California and have lived through PLENTY of earthquakes. They ARE pretty scary--when you actually notice them. They don't happen too often, sometimes there will be two in a year, sometimes it will be earthquake free for several years. When it first hits, it's a little terrifying. But don't worry, if you're on a couch or bed or even driving you probably wont feel it--even if it's a 5.0. When you're on your bed it probably wont even be noticeable. On a couch hardly noticeable. When you're driving and and an earthquake hits the car just starts rocking. Although they are terrifying, only a small percentage of the ones in california do real damage.


Hey its me the girl whos guy friend isnt treating her right. I know you may have a lot of us but Im the girl who is so in love that i let him come back to me over and over no matter what you responded to my question tues.oct 10 2009 at 11:33 pm. I just want to say he doesnt get it. your responce sounds all fine and sounds good but why is it so hard for me to let go? I told him how i felt and he basically was telling me im wrong about how i feel. He says his feelings for me are growing and he said he always wanted me he's just a guy and he will come around. I know i know. Actually talking to him was making me think about everything he put me through the entire 5 years with him was fake as fuck, excuse my language. But honestly your right i should move on but theres something holding me back there is something telling me to stay. I cant help but think i went through all of this stuff with him for a reason and i cant turn back now! Whats wrong here (link)
Of course it's going to be hard to let him go--he's been apart of who you are for five long years. It'll be hard for the first few months, but it will get better, i promise. You're mind is trying to protect that part of you by saying you need him and things will get better between the two of you, its trying to protect your heart--your already broken heart. Don't let that happen. Do what's right for YOU. Not what's right for him.


Dear hear2listen
I recently ran into a problem with a guy. Now understand he’s not my boyfriend but we have been going through this for years now. I was his girlfriend once upon a time but now we are just comfortable I guess you can say. It just seems like every time he goes through a problem with his girlfriends he calls me and yes I’m there for him. Or he really wants to get with me when he breaks up with his girlfriends. I do take him back but not all the way. I don’t trust him all the way with all of me and I really want to but when he plays with me and my emotions all the time I begin to not ever trust him. There is this circle we go in. We will stop talking for months and as soon as I get use to the fact that we are done for good we see each other somewhere and he calls and we talk for probably three days straight and it stops the phone calls will come every other week or just when he wants to have sex. Me stupid and so in love fall for it and go back and let him use me. Ok I know he loves me but this cycle we go in isn’t cool. Oh and let me let you know he’s good with his words. He says everything in the book. I got to give it to him he is good. I just want him to realize that I want all of him. Yeah hell tells me everything and we are best friends and lovers but I don’t just want that part. I want him all. I don’t want half of him. I want him to do whatever he wants now have his little fun now and come to me committed and fully mine. Yes we are young but this cycle is getting old and I want something new. Should I stay should I go? I’m stuck in the middle of this place where I love him and don’t want to give up but I also want to get over him because even though I love him do I really believe he will change. He puts so much on me and expects me to just be here for him whenever he needs me. I want him to stop looking for love in someone else when I’m right here in his face. Or is it that I’m not the one for him. He doesn’t love me the way I love him? He says he does. He says I’m the only girl he truly loves. I’m the only girl who never hurt him and is always here for him. I don’t want to be that girl. I don’t want to be a part of that dumb girl epidemic. I don’t know what to do anymore. Giving up just seems like my answer to everything that gets tough.
(link)
You need to tell him. You should tell him you want him, all of him not part of him. Tell him if he can't commit himself to you fully then he doesnt deserve you. Tell him yeah, you've never hurt him but he's hurt you time and time again. Don't give in to his words, no matter how much he tells you you're his world. If you were his world, he wouldnt be able to hurt you. Tell him if he loves then he needs to choose: to stay with you and stop using you for his impulsive desires or stop breaking your heart. Frankly, i think you deserve better then him. If you truly love him, tell him that he's hurting you. Dont let yourself be his ragdoll. If he says he will change but the pattern stays, dont give him another look. You can do so much better in my opinion. If he can't respect you, he isnt worth your time.
