Q: The all american rejects song, gives you hell... Well I dont understand the music video at all. The song, yeah it makes sense, the girl is stupid and highclass and left him or something and he's like whatever. But in the video, its the preppy girls husband telling the guy that he hopes he misses him. Are they gay or do they have it backwards or what haha?
what i heard about this song is that he wrote this talking about his ex. gf who broke up w/ him pretty much right before he became famous. so basically he's saying, he's having fun now and making money, while she's prob. having some boring job and everyday life w/o him. and the other guy w/ her, is actually him 2, its just what he would be like if he had stayed with her and the track that she was taking and how she thouhgt she wanted life.

Q: alright, well i know this is kind of dumb but i am always cold, like last night i had the heat up all the way and i was freezing, and also last night it was only like 50 degrees out and i was shivering, my teeth were clacking, why is this? is there something wrong with me? i'm starting to get kind of worried.
also, in school i cannot wear just tshirts, even in the summer, i freeeeeze.
please help, if you have any ideas or comments please post them.
okay first of all. you must be from up north. only 50 degrees? heck. i would be freezing myself. but its possible that you are anemic. (sp?) this can cause you to get colder more easily. which is something you should talk to your doctor about. if you are, then they will most likely have you take iron pills. not too serious, but should be checked. i hope everything works out.

Q: I just found out that my ex boyfriend wants to get back with me. Im so confused becasue my mum doesnt agree with me getting back with him and my dad absolutely wants to kill him because he hurt me before. He dumped me for a girl id known for about a week and was his ex girlfriend. The thing is for some weird reason i do still like him a lot and somehow i have forgave him. It all started off on a rocky patch anyway because of the age difference. We started going out when he was 15 and i was 12, then 3 months later he turned 16 and i stayed twelve. I did turn thirteen two months after that but on my birthday he left me. I dont get it. He says he always thinks of me and that he has had 3 sex dreams about me in the past week alone!!!!! I am 13 now and he is 16. Yesterday he asked me for a hug and when i huggedd him he pulled me onto the sofa so that i was laying on top of him with my head on his chest and he said that he loved me, i could tell by his voice that he was deadly serious. And I said that i loved him. First of all i would like to ask if you have nay advice on getting back with him. Yes or no? And please please please can you give me some advice on how to tell my mum and dad without them going mad and saying that im not going to see him. I want to put it across as im going out with him mum but can you please let me get on with it and be by my side in case it goes wrong because that is all i want, i dont want a lecture. At one point he did mean a lot to me and im trying to make it work again. Please help.
okay. so heres the part your gonna hate to hear. i cant make that decision for you. and neither can your mom and dad. the thing you have to remember is that people make mistakes, and nobody is perfect. if you can tell that this guy really cares a lot about you, then maybe hes worth another try. but be aware of being played. if you decided to get back together with him, be careful not to move to fast, take things slow, make shure he really loves you as much as he says he does. as far as your mom and dad. they may not be happy with it, but you need to sit down with them and tell them how much you care for him, and that you want their support even though they dont agree. the worst possible thing you can do is argue with them. if they say something like "he's a bad guy" or w/e dont get loud just say somelike "he made a mistake." ya kno? i hope i helped. good luck.

Q: I was talking to my best friend yesterday and the idea of having a bank account came up. I am over 18 and have been working as a cashier at the local Walmart for awhile. Walmart offers a direct deposit to the back account of my choice, but I don't have a bank account right now. I've just been getting my Walmart check every two weeks and cashing it at my mom's bank (BB&T bank). I think it would help me keep better track of my money if I had it placed in a bank.

I asked my mom today if she thought I should get a bank account started up and she said it didn't sound like such a bad idea. She told me to find a bank that I felt was good and to see them one day this week about opening a bank account. I'm sure she'd suggest BB&T but she's been with BB&T for a long time and she is crazy about the BB&T free online banking. I am really afraid about going to a bank though since I don't know anything about bank accounts and I do NOT want to make a bad move, especially with how the economy is!

So, how do I start a bank account and where should I get one at? I know BB&T is where my mom banks but is it a good decision to go there or will they be filing bankruptcy like other banks have recently? What are some good banking choices? I know some of the big banks are BB&T, Citibank, Bank of America, and Chase but I have no clue if any of them are really safe to place my money in.

What questions should I ask when I talk to someone at the bank about creating a bank account? What do I need to know?
okay. i totally get what your saying. the best bank for you, just depends on what kinds of things your looking for such as intrest rates etc. as far as the economy totally sucking. if all you are doing is putting your money into a savings or checking account, then there are no worrys. If whatever bank you choose for some reason goes out of business the FDIC provides free insurance to anyone with less than $500,000 in their account. You don't have to sign up for it or anything. beware of hidden fews, and make shure to keep track of how much money you have left in your accounts to avoid overdrawing. for the being nervous part. its completely understandable. its a new thing and a new thing to learn. If you need to take your mom with you, if not, just walk into the bank of your choice and ask them about opening an account and they will help you out. Thats their job. They're used to it. Don't stress. =]. i hope i helped. im sry its so long. let me know if you have any other questions.

Q: gastroesophageal reflux disease.
anybody know what helps to stop or hinder acid reflux?
tips?
kthanks
i also have that and absolutly hate it. If its bad enough they do make medicines for it, but watching how many acidy things you eat, like tomatos, fried things, greasy, etc. can help. If you already are having the acid, it helps me to eat a couple of pieces of bread to kind of sop it up. talk to your doctor.

Q: Are you supposed to shave your hair down there

I am a female
okay. so this is a common question.
but its really not a supposed to or not type thing.
some women prefer too and others dont. its your pick. try it out. if you like it then go ahead. if not. it will grow back.

Q: My boyfriend seems to think that when he calls other girls hot it impresses me.
Well it doesnt, and honestly, it's really pissing me off.
Once or twice is some-what acceptable, but i'm talking about almost every day!
It's so awkward for me because i just stand there and look like a total idiot.
I mean, what am i supposed to say ...?
"Cool" ??
yeah right, so the other day i talked to him about it, and he said that's the last time i'll ever hear it from his mouth.
A few days pass and he was really keeping his word.
Then the other day we were talking about lindsay lohan and he was like
"Im not even gunna say it!"
and i was like
"what?"
"that shes hot."
and i was like "YOU JUST DID!"
things like that.

another thing he does is point out EVERY SINGLE pretty girl in the mall he says he knows and say
"I used to like her"
One time i busted him because we go to different schools
and he was like "I used to like her"
and it turns out the girl he pointed to
went to MY school.
so i said "how do you know her?"
and he was like "she goes to my school"
and then she comes over and says
"Hey!" to me.
not even acknowledging him!
and he never spoke about since then.
he does it to impress me and i know it.
or he'll spot a grouup of other pretty girls and tell me he knows him.
I have no idea what to do anymore!
im lost.
what do i do?
okay. first breath.
i know how you feel.
but what you should honestly do.
is blow him off.
if he says it.
playfully smack him and make him think that you dont care.
hes just trying to get a rise out of you.
remember though. he's with you, not them.
and the whole lindsey lohan thing.
okay. maybe he thinks shes hot...but i can almost 100% ensure you that he will never be with her nor have the chance.
if he keeps it up.
give him the same treatment.
tell him the guys that you think are hot.
or how you "used to like them".
he may continue to do it, but i bet he'll be thinkin the thoughts that you are too.

oh yea. the most important fact.
HE'S A DUDE. dudes. dont think.
at least not with the head thats on their shoulders. ;)

good luck.

Q: 16/m

ok so i broke up with my girlfriend two nights ago


so i've been going out with this girl for a year and 3 months or so. i loved her very much. very, very much, and i still care very much about her, but i just wasn't happy anymore. i wasn't having fun anymore with her. all our conversations were becoming nothing other than "i love you's" and talking about sex and stuff (we never had it. . . got kind of close a couple times). we fought a lot recently, particularly about how much we saw each other (at least once a week) and that i was putting my music (i'm in a band) before her (which shouldn't happen apparently), and it was starting to stress me out way too much. i got little sleep and worried about it a lot. . .

and then i couldn't do it anymore.


i still really care a lot about her, and in the back of my mind i feel like i made a really big mistake. . . but the rest of me thinks it's for the better.

could anyone help me out here?


thanks
i know what you mean about this feeling.
because i am not you, i cant tell you that you made the right or wrong decision and no one else can either.
but if you still love her. then maybe yall can find a way to replenish the feelings.
a break from yall can be a good solution, maybe yall just need some time apart to just think.
i hope everything works out.
any other questions just IM me or email me. or send it to my inbox.

Q: 15/f
I have a rash on my upper/inner thighs. It's splotchy and raised/ peachy in color. It doesn't itch too much anymore (Got it about 5 days ago) but it doesn't seem to go away. What exactly is it and how can i fix it? I also have a little on my upper right arm.
i have gotten this before.
its possible that you are allergic to clothes detergent. or the soap you are using.

Q: can my girlfriend get pregnant if she masturbates me and then we both wash our hands and then i masterbate her without acctually fingering her?
tech. it would be possible.
but esp. if you both wash your hands.
it is extremely unlikely.

-jessicamarie.

Q: please im hanging out with this guy tonight and i know hes gonna try to makeout with me how do u make out with him? give me steps from when he puts his tongue in my mouth... please answer fast. :)
okay. i understand you panic.
but the fact of the matter is there is no actual "steps" to making out.
you just have to take it as it goes.
if you listen to steps of how to makeout then your prob. more likely to mess up because your thinking about that the whole time.
hope everything works out.

Q: Me and this guy who have been hooking up for a while had dry sex last night. I was in my underwear (lace thong), and he was in some briefs. He mighttt not have bee wearing it he might have taken it off by then (I later gave him a handjob, but nothing farther).
MYY underwear never came off, but I have this huge fear of getting an STD, so is there any possibility I could've gotten one if he had one? I don't think he has one, but what if he did? That would suckk...
Also you cant get an STD through a hj right?
PS theres NO chance of me getting pregnant. I'm also on the pill.
okay. first off. if the guy does have an std. it is possible for you to get it, semen can seep through clothing and give stds or pregnancies.
2nd. just a handjob. no you cant, unless the semen got into you.
3rd. i understand that you are on the pill, but the pill is never 100% so dont think that its not possible to get pregnant, its just not likely.

Q: Ok, so I just got paid 150 dollars today for working, and now I have almost $600...

So I was wondering, I wanna buy a Fender Strat, but I also want to get a talk box for my guitar..

I already have an Epiphone Les Paul

and the talk box is like, half the price of the guitar, so which one should I get?
okay. if you are already have a les paul, then i would get the talk box and wait till you can afford the strat. les pauls are good guitars and so are strats, but you already have a good one, so get the talk box.

Q: I'm 14/f and i want to start wearing heals.
am i to young?
would it looke slutty?
wheree can i get some cheap ones?
what age is a good age to start wearing them?
girls can wear heals at any age.
as long as you dont get what i like to call "hooker heals" ( like 6 in. heals) which are a killer on your feet, then no you won't look slutty. start off with a "kitten heal" its only about 2in. but starting off to big of a heal will kill your feet.

Q: Okay, everyone who knows my boyfriend knows that he's IN LOVE with me.
He' 16, I'm 14.
He's been through a lot and is mature enough to know the difference between lust, like, love, and being in love.
He's liked and loved...but I'm the first he's been in love with and, ask ANY ONE, I'm the only and first girl he's ever cried over.
That's not normal for him.
Well I really do love him.
I REALLY am in love with him....
And I know that this is a stupid question but is it possible to be in love at 14 and actually STAY TOGETHER?
My mother has been in love with my dad since she was 17 so yeah....but I know being in love has a lot to dowith maturity. Well I've only had one other bf besides him and so yeah.
He's had like 5 or 6 haha.
But anyway, I went through steps. Like I liked him at first, then later on I loved him, then now I love him.
We've been together for almost 6 months and his dad plays the wedding song as a joke.
He never did that to any girl but me. My bf's brother is the one who tries to break people up and I'm the only one he actually told "Sky, my brother is i love with you and if you don't break up with him, I know this for a fact ya'll will get married."
The thing is if we did it wouldn't be til I'm like well in my 20's. I'm too young to rush that haha, and so is my bf and he knows it. But this is the most serious relationship he's ever been in and he has his mind and heart hell-bent to stay with me forever...and I do too.....
I know if I'm sooo sure why should I even ask..?
I just have to know you alls opinion. Mostly because my parents are like w/e but my mother is finally starting to realize-well she knew he was in love with me- but she's finally seeing i feel the same...
Well just wondering thanks ya'll!
yes. it def. is possible. while some might not make it to marriage it is possible. i have been dating my boyfriend since i was 14 and i am now 16. i am very much in love with him, and am a firm believer of if you love him, then you will do anything to stay with him.
good lucky sweetie.

Q: Just a few days ago, I got my ears pierced. Im fourteen and I had them done when I was seven but they got infected.
I have really thick earlobes, hah. So that makes it difficult to clean my ears, but I try.
But my ears still hurt and I cant tell if theyre swollen or not, because my ears are just...thick! You know? And my brother said they look red but Im always red so its hard to tell.
How do you tell if your ears are infected, and can you make it go away without having to take out the earrings? Thanks so much!
put hydrogen peroxide on your ear lobes to kill any infection that may be present.

Q: well i used to cut and my parents dont know but i did stop. anyway i might have to go to the doctors and i have scars on my hips and i'm worried that the doctors will ask me about it and stuff. what do i do?? plus i dont want them telling my parents because it is my business not theirs. i dont have any open cuts or anything like i said i stopped but i have scars. and there is no good explanation on why i have scars on my hips lol. thanks so much :)
well first off. im glad that you have stoped. its a bad habit. secondly, if the dr. happens to ask just say that your dog or a friends dog likes to jump up on you and it sratches you.

-jessicamarie,

Q: Hey, I just need information real quick. My armpits are pretty dark and all, and I was wondering if there is anyway to lighten it up! Is there anyway? And I like scrub it and it doesn't help! I heard lemon will work, but is there any other way?
use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to bleach it.

Q: okay..so Cody (my boyfriend) had this ex girlfriend named Sara, and they dated for a long time..and she broke up with him on the day that joe died (a senior that went to a close highschool and had something wrong with his brian and died..he's a friend of all these people i'm talking about) and i asked my friend chris why they broke up because nobody would tell me the whole story..and he said that she said that around the time that joe died..cody said that his mom had a heart attack..and sara claims that he made it up because most of the attention was on joe or something..and supposedly she found out it was a lie, and broke up with him..and if it's true that it was a lie..i don't want to be with that (obviously)..but i remember one time he did tell me his mom had a heart attack around joe's death..buuttt..he either could be telling the truth, or he could be telling me this in case somebody tells me the story
and his ex is mormon..so she does not lie..but how exactly would she know..because his mom lives in georgia? (i live in iowa)
so..what should i do? because if i confront him personally..he could just lie to me if he's a liar..so i don't know what to believe.
this is a tough situation, and really there is no way to tell if he is really telling the truth, so you have to trust him. Ask him about it, and if he says that she did then believe him and move on. Even if he was lying about that, that doesnt mean the he is necessarily lying about everything else, maybe he was just jealous at the time. If you really like or love him, then you will work through it. But if you cant trust him, then its not fair for you to lead him on like you trust him, and its not fair to you either.
good luck.

Q: how do you hold hands with a girl you are sitting next to in the movies that you love but you dont know if they love you back...im not going out with the girl but i really like her but i dont know if she likes me us and a couple of friends are going to the movies on the weekend and im not sure wether to make a move or not....btw(by the way) i am 13 years old so is she but we are in separate classes we both have msn
when you are sitting next to her. "accidently" brush your hand against hers. lean over a whisper something funny to her and make her giggle. if she denies you. that doesnt mean that she doesnt like you, so dont get discouraged, she may just be nervous, which is esp. normal for that age.
good luck.
