Q: I don't know what to do with him! I found out from my bff that my bf made a facebook group thing about our relationshp. I went and red a few things on it and it is personal and nothing anybody should know but us so I told him I knew he had a secret he was keeping from me but not what it was so he would tell me or something but he didn't. i kinda thought that he posted stuff and didn't think it was bad and I wanted to give him chances to say so but he just said he didnt have no secrets so i went back to read the rest and he had made it private only so now it is hidden from me.

I guess what I am asking is if he didn't think this was wrong why did he hide it when i found out? He still denies everything and now i got no proof because i cant see it anymore!!! i have been crying about this and i feel betrayed like he has a secret life on facebook or something! should i stay with him if he isn't going to be honest and still hides things?

Sorry if this is too long!
First things first: A relationship is based on communication and trust. He's doing neither; so right there, that's not good. What kind of personal things? If he says anything about your intimate moments or things you told him in confidence, or pretty much anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's a red flag that he cannot be trusted at all. When you confronted him, you said that he said he did not have any secrets, will, you even said yourself that when you went back to go check, it was all hidden. He obviously knows that you know and saw it. Let me tell you, a guys first reaction is to deny, deny, deny! Don't ask why...believe me, no one knows why. You're asking "if he didn't think this was wrong why did he hide it when I found out", to tell you the truth, he knows it's wrong. He knows very well what he's doing. If he didn't think it was wrong, he wouldn't have hid it from you. Why did he make this group in the first place? That's something I cannot answer because to me that is a very rude thing to do. A relationship is very personal and should only be shared between the two people in the relationship. How old are you both? If he's around the 13-18 area, I can tell you that men are just VERY immature at that age. They do the most stupid and idiotic things. However, that does NOT excuse him from doing this. You say you have no "proof". Yes you do! You yourself is proof enough. You saw it. Your bff saw it. Good enough. There's no need to show this boy proof of what you saw with your own eyes! Tell him how it made you feel and tell him it hurt you that he didn't come clean. Ask him why he created this group about your relationship. If he does start to deny it, you do what you feel is right. I cannot tell you whether or not to stay with him because that's solely your decision and yours only. If he comes clean, you, as his girlfriend, have every right to tell him to take it down because it makes you uncomfortable. If he refuses, again, it's all up to you. Your mature enough to have a boyfriend, your mature enough to make decisions about him. I understand why you're upset, I would be too. What he's doing is 100% wrong. No need to cry because in the end everything will work out, if not then "it's not the end." (:

Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have.
I hope I helped you!
Good luck!

Q: So, my shampoo right now is Suave Strawberry Delight or something like that. It smells really good. I've had a lot of shampoos before, but this is my most current one..

When I wash it off and then dry my hair, my hair doesn't smell like anything. This isn't the case for most people. You can still smell their shampoo throughout the whole day. For me, there's not a hint of it.

If it helps, I use a palm-sized amount of shampoo, followed by conditioner. I wash them both with hot water. I blowdry my hair about ten minutes after, and before I do, I run my hands through my hair with Garnier Fructis Leave In Conditioner. So, that's what bothers me. I put so much product but the smell isn't shown..

Help me? Oh, and sorry for the long question.
I used to think the same thing and wondered why some of these girls have the scent last in their hair for hours! Try putting a little more? And hey, maybe you do just get used to the smell so that may be possibly why you can't smell it anymore? I use Dove Shampoo & Conditioner..and the smell stays in my hair all day! Aveeno is also very good, that smell was also in my hair all day. I guess it depends on the brand. If you want, try one of those two. Hopefully they work out for you! They usually recommend that you change your Shampoo and Conditioner once in a while anyway.

Q: I been dating this girl for about 4 months now and we've been having sex all the time. I'm 22 and she told me she just turned 18 when we hooked up at first. Last night she stayed at my house and was like she needed to tell me something and told me she's really 15. I dont know what to do because that's illegal and I dont want to be put in jail for this. I'm getting paranoid she's going to tell her folks and her parents are going to press charges since she's underage / a minor. What do I do?
This sounds similar to a situation my friend's cousin was in. He had sex with a girl who said she was 18 (he was 25), it turns out the girl lied and she was 14. Girls these days pass off as being older because of makeup and maturity levels. The girls parents' found out and he was arrested and is now a registered sex offender :/. Don't mean to scare you...but, this happens all of the time. Now I'm going to tell you, get a LAWYER! DO NOT tell this girl you are getting one. Just go speak with one in your area (it's free) and tell him/her the situation...and please, again, DO NOT tell this girl anything. And DO NOT dump her yet, that may cause her to tell her parents and then your screwed. Unfortunately, the legal system favors girls in these type of situations. But, by getting a lawyer, you could be saving yourself. So, again, please DO NOT dump this girl yet, DO NOT have sex with her anymore (make up an excuse; it could be used against you later if you continue to have sex with her..), and DO NOT tell her your plans about getting a lawyer. Good luck! I feel so bad for guys like you...it's the girls' fault 100% yet your the one's that deal with the crap!

Message me if you need any help or anything else!

Q: Today when I went to the bathroom and I went to whip i saw a teeny tiny bit of red. It was really really really small, you could hardly see it. Do you think I got my period? I havent had cramps or anything.
How old are you? Maybe you did, who knows. I had my first period when I was 12; I didn't feel cramps at all. I never felt any cramps for a few years, now I'm 17 and I always feel cramps. It changes sometimes. If you keep seeing blood everyday, then possibly, yes, you may have had it. But if you only saw blood that one time, then I doubt it. It'll come one day! Ask your mom some questions, maybe she can help too! That's what I did.

Q: I saw on the news that Lindsay Lohan crashed her car into a baby stroller and a nanny!

Did the baby and the nanny die? Was she drunk or something? Again?
No not drunk, she was just being her "brilliant" self again.

Not sure if this story is 100% true, wouldn't be surprised though. I found these links though if that helps:

Q: Girls,
how do you wash your vaginas?

When a guy goes down on me or fingers me, I'm always self-conscious that he thinks it smells or something.
I usually use Vagisil products; they work the best.
http://www.vagisil.com/products.shtml


Some other products may be dangerous (don't use a douche unless you've talked to a doctor!!). If you don't know, a douche is what some women use (sometimes after there periods) to clean out there vagina. However, it has been proven to affect women negatively, so please do not use it unless you are told to do so by a professional!!

Every women worries about an odor, it's normal. And yes, just like men, odor happens. It's usually sweat the developed during the day. Before a guy does anything to you, if it'll make you feel better, make sure just to clean yourself down there fast. As I said before, those vagisil products do work! But, if you want to avoid buying things, just use your everyday soap/body wash. That helps too!

Hope I helped!

Q: I am kind of old fashioned when it comes to sex...not that I don't believe in sex before marriage but I can't just go have sex with anyone and think its no big deal, and I'm sure a large part of that is because I'm a virgin. however I'm in college and guys obviously aren't into that mindset. I have no problem doing other things, but to be honest i'm never totally into them because I feel like I don't even know the guys. Idk how do I deal with this when no guys want to wait on sex?
Just be who you are. I'm in the same position as you. Just like the person below me said, people view sex as a way of getting to know eachother these days. Which is totally wrong. What happend to getting to know a girl by learning her likes/dislikes, etc. What happend to courting a girl for a while until she was ready? You're in control of your own body! YOU only do what makes YOU comfortable. If you don't want to do something, then don't. Some guy's may not want to be with you because your not easy, and some will respect you. There are really good guys out there who respect women who don't just have sex with random guy's. It's a good quality, don't lose it!!! Believe me, most of those girls will regret it in the future when no guy wants to marry them because they've been around to everyone. Guy's grow out of it in mid 20's to early 30's (the normal one's at least..).

Q: Girls Out There, Do you all notice when a guy is staring at your boobs or butt? How do you feel about that,do you just want to smack him on the side of the head or do you care at all?If u don't care would you show them off on sometimes just to get a guys attention?I just want to know how girls think
I ALWAYS notice when a guy is staring at my boobs and butt. Mainly because they make it so obvious! It doesn't bother me sometimes as long as they don't start making comments (has happend before), that's the only time I want to smack a guy in the head and most likely will. Other than that, not really. However, all girls are different. Some of my friends hate it no matter what and have actually smacked guys before. Depends on the girl and the situation. And yes, some girls do show them off to get attention. I know A LOT who do. I have once in a while, not often though.

Q: It seems as though the world is upset with beauty. I feel as though I am. People often neglect people who aren't as "beautiful" and they grow insecure.

I understand that we all admire beauty, and we all like beauty but why have we become so obsessed with it? Even in religion -- For example, Islam; obsessed with the idea of perfect women in paradise that the women of this world are like trash compared to. (I say that because I was muslim at some point, and learned this all.)

Even when we're little kids; The focus is beauty.
How would someone not be obsessed with beauty?
I think the world is obsessed with beauty because they feel inner-beauty means nothing at all. I feel that I myself am too. Anyone who isn't beautiful gets tossed aside. Which results in non-needed plastic surgery for bigger boobs, new lips, a new face, etc. It also leads to anorexia and things like that.

I believe, it's the media that does it. We look at them as knowing what is in and what is out, what is good, what is bad. And so on. Just think about it...look at all these celebrities who became anorexic or who got plastic surgery because the media made fun of them for something.

The little kids part: Look at the pageant shows! It's ridiculous. They make these liitle 5 yr olds dress up looking like adults. It's disgusting..with the lipstick, hair-do's, dresses, bathing suits, etc.

The world is just focused on how your appearance is. Not how kind, nice, funny you are.

However, not everyone is like this. Some girls don't care what the guy they are married/dating looks like. Same goes for guys. For someone not to be obsessed..it would be difficult because the world around us is so obsessed with it. I guess the person who have to stop caring about it and be themselves by showing the true THEM.

Hope I helped!

Q: Hi, Advicenators. I'm a freshman now and high school is awesome in many ways but not academics when it comes to me. I'm in all honors classes, and some are easy (such as science and English), but geometry and social studies are making me feel awful.

I didn't finish my first math test in time for the bell, so I got a D, even though I knew all the material. I don't know why it took me so long to get through what I did finish. We have a test coming up this friday and I'm pretty nervous because I feel like the only guy who is doing badly.

Social studies is even worse though because I didn't finish our first essay either, and received a F. Two other students failed too, but I feel like I just can't really work under pressure and I'm not doing too well, overall. I could go to regular instead of honors, but I would have to go to regular science and English, and lose my good teachers in that class as well.

Any advice would be helpful.
I'm a Junior in High School and I'm taking Honors classes as well. Yes, they are very hard and give a lot of work. However, don't give up so easily. Yes, colleges don't pay much attention to Freshmen year..but they look at you better if you've been in Honors classes. I understand you're having a hard time..believe me when I was your age I did too.
Some people will say "Study a lot" or "pay attention". I tried doing all that..it doesn't help unless your positive in yourself and believe you can do it. I know that sounds stupid, but it's true. You seem like a smart person..and like others said..they wouldn't put you in honors if they felt you couldn't handle it!
If you were to switch, it would be your choice..and only yours. Don't go off of what others say. If you're having a tough time, then maybe you are better off in regular courses. I also know it sucks losing good teachers..I recently got switched into Honors History...and I had to lose my regular teacher who is great. However, sometimes you just have to get over it and move on. It doesn't mean you will never see them again. I still talk to my old teacher and even ask him for help. Honors is their to benefit you. Consider yourself lucky to be in honors..so many people wish they were. I used to too. This is my first year in honors classes. So far, it's okay.
Just focus and be yourself. Give it time! You can always succeed in everything. Just TRY your best. If you are having a hard time..stay after school with the teachers and get extra help. If you still are having a hard time..I would consider changing to regular courses.
It's completely up to you!

Good luck, feel free to inbox me if you need anymore advice! :)

Q: During the Holocaust the Nazis took lots and lots of Jews into the death camps. I read about the Jews lining up to be burned to death or gassed to death. From the stories, it sounds like they didn't really fight the lines and just followed what the Nazis instructed. I'm just curious about the reasoning, really. I mean, I figure there were lots more Jews at these camps than there were Nazis. Why didn't the Jews fight back and do the things that we typically think to do in situations involving life/death?

No, I'm not attacking Jews, I'm just curious about the Holocaust, that's all! :) No offense!!!
Just like everyone else said..they had no idea what was happening. Then, when Jews started being killed, people caught on..and it was too late.
Also, back then..so many people were against Jews due to propaganda that was given out by Nazi Germany. Germany described Jew's as being money hungry, thieves, and rats.
Throughout the many centuries Jews were constantly prosecuted because they were a "scape goat" for everyone. Not sure why. Probably because they were different.
Why didn't the Jews fight back? They were simply scared. Yes, their were a lot more Jews than Nazi's, but to fight back against EVERYONE (not only Nazi's were against them then) would've cost a lot more lives than anything. Hitler was VERY powerful and influenced the minds of many people throughout Germany. They did what the Nazi's said to do because they feared of dying.
If you want to learn more about this stuff..I suggest reading "Night", by Elie Wiesel. Great book and explains about his hardships because he was a Jew in Germany. He lost a lot of family, and explains tragic details of many other deaths/problems going on at that time.

Hope I helped :)

Q: heyyyy!
alrighty soo
for the past few weeks i have been doing very good as far as not texting bob. now let me tell you, there were a lot of times i wanted to text him, but i didn't! i was very proud of myself haha. so i dont THINK i like him anymore, but yet i seem to think about him like everyday... i don't know what's going on with that. so! yesterday around eight p.m. which is SOOOOO weird because he NEVERRRR texts me first. and he didn't even want anything. we went back on forth on what to talk about and im all like pick somethinggggg. and he finally goes why me? and i go because i end up talking about stupid stuff and he goes so. wow hes dumbbb. but then he was like: i just thought of when we first met. (((now that night was sooooo crazy, and in four days, it will be eleven months ago... i know its sad that i still remember but oh well))) and i was like oh...uh... do you remember like all of it? and he goes ya i do. OH MAN! thats... WOW. and i was like talk about awkward and he goes ya forreals you are. WTFF i was like wtf you just said i was awkward and he goes yes. and i go you dont just tell somebody their awkward. i could tell you what you are, but i'm not gonna do that. (AND I GO SOO MAD) and then he was like im sorry i didnt mean to be mean and then i go whatever that night was not my fault thats all i have to say. and he goes what night? :( (hes obviously so stupid) and i go that night we met and he goes ok? and i go you make me so mad sometimes. and he goes I'm sorry I don't mean to and I already know you don't like me anymore. and i go ha really? and when did i say that? and he goes I just think that. and i go uh why? and he goes idk you just don't seem like it? and i go Well then i already know you don't like me anymore. (which i don't, i was just retaliating.) and he goes why? and i go i dont know am i right? and he goes i dont know am i? and i go i dont know but am i right? and he goes idk!?? so basically i think he know, but he just doesn't wanna tell me, before i tell him. ??? i don't know!!!!!!! ugh we texted for like four hours and then i said i was going ot sleep and he didnt text back.

weirdddddddd!
eh, help me out?
thanks a ton.
Sorry for taking long! I started school recently :( haha.

That's good that you stopped texting! That works on some guys (obviously this guy) because they hate being ignored to a point.. when you do it, they think about you a lot and end up texting you to see what's up/why you haven't texted.

Okayy well, he obviously does want you to say it first..don't know why though. With guys, they feel if they let any type of emotion out..their weak. Which is of course wrong, but hey, that's guy's for ya!
But anyway, it's possible he does like you and is too shy to say it. Or, maybe he doesn't. Too bad he won't tell you! Or you can just go through the old fashioned way and ask a friend to ask him.

However, since he did text you first that's a good sign! Another good sign: He talked about the past.
So, judging from that..it's possible he may have some feelings.

Your other inbox:
It's hard to forget the past. And, that doesn't make you stupid!
Believe me, I've been in your position before. You're neither stupid nor naive. You're just a normal teenage girl! I would say...about 95% of girls go through this all often haha.
But aww, yeah he seemed so sweet!
Honestly, there's not much more advice to give on these 2 inboxes. So, just make sure you make your decisions wise ones. And ALWAYS get to know someone before you have a relationship and/or friendship. You can also just weigh the Pro's and Con's of situations.

Fill me in on stuff that goes on :) haha
Thanks for the inboxes!
Have a good weekend!!

Q: I know this isn't about sex but i didn't no what to put it under lol.


So I think Obama should have never became president
I think hi is an idiot.

So i want to know people who did vote for him why you did what were your reasons?
Cause if you think hes ganna pay for your bills and provide for you hes not.

I just wanna know everyones reason for why they voted for him or why you didn't vote for him.
Also a lot of people including me, Think he manly won cause he is black and i think if that is true witch i think it is i think thats wrong.
My resons are because I think racism is wrong and if people vote for him only because he's black just means your being racist. Now you might note be but your basing your decision on the color of his skin i and i think thats horriable.
I bet if he was a white man he would not of one or he wouldn't of one for the reasons he did.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS OVENSIVLY IM JUST SPREEDING MY OPINION ON WHAT I BELIEVIE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE OR THINK.
I agree with you 100%. I dislike Obama very much. He's not for the people at all. I think McCain should've won the election, however, I obviously can't vote.

From what I heard (from many people) they voted for him because of the whole "taking from the rich giving to the poor" thing. Which, of course, didn't really happen..like a lot of what Obama said. Also, I heard from a lot of people, they voted for him because "McCain is so old, he'll die and we're stuck with Palin". Yes, Palin wasn't the smartest..but, I really doubt McCain would've ran if he was going to die anytime soon. Another one: "Because he's black!" Woo hoo? Who cares what color he is! It shouldn't matter whether he's white, brown, black, orange! This is why we have such a problem with racism everywhere in America. We're ALL people no matter what race. And he's not really black..he's White AND Black, which some seem to forget those details. I also don't trust everything about him..but, that's a different story. I still have no clue why people elected a president they know NOTHING about.

I do agree with Bush messing up America. He did. However, what makes you think Obama is going to CHANGE anything? Because he said he will? How many of you have been told something throughout your life and it has never happend? I know I have! And I'm sure all of you have. He's a LAWYER! He knows how to sweet talk people into things. That's what lawyers are good at. And look at what he did to Chicago! He took them broke. Much like our country. Since he's became president, we've been put in a lot more debt than before. I love how people overlook these facts.

I'm also 100% against his healthcare plan. I understand so many people don't have it. My mother doesn't even have it. Why? because it's TOO expensive. Yes, England and Canada have the healthcare plan. However, look at the FACTS. England will only treat people up to a certain age. Is that fair? NO. That means my grandparents wouldn't even be able to be treated if they ever got sick. Also: There has been talk about making people pay a certain amount of money if they don't get healthcare. I also disagree with this. Again, people don't get healthcare because it's TOO expensive. Obama can't seem to get this through his head.

Bush started this problem; Obama is going to continue it. That's just the truth.

Q: ya know what really bothers me about him?
is the fact that i always text him first. i know that sounds dumb, but it's true. and i don't know why i do, i just kinda give in to temptation. and i hate how a little less than half the time he doesn't reply back. now i know he could be busy and stuff, but still! i find time. i just HATEEEEE when he doesn't reply. it makes me so mad. lol sorry i sound stupid. and i also really hate is when i tell him stuff like in details (kinda) he just puts ok.
or when i ask him why on stuff he just puts idk.
i hate itttt!

why do you think he does that???
again, thanks and sorry i sound dumb!!
haha (:
Oh man! I've had this problem so many times. It happens to everyone! Especially with guys.

Okay..from what I noticed..guy's tend not to respond back unless they feel they need and/or want to. Unlike girls, they don't care much for texting..which leads to them sometimes ignoring or not answering you.

My situation: I liked this guy..and he barely never texted me first..I always did it! It bothered me a lot. I'd tell him to text me first because I don't know if I'd be bothering him or not..he texted me first for like 2 days then stopped! I was so mad at him for doing this frequently. On top of that..he would often ignore me when I texted too. When I confronted him about the whole ignoring/not texting me first thing..he said "I don't have to text you all the time so get over it and don't be mad ok?" I was so mad..I just stopped talking to him for days. Wasn't he rude? The sad truth is..a lot of guy's are like that! And don't see any problem with it.

Here are a few links to yahoo sites that I looked at when I wanted answers too:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060724030117AAzs7lt
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090820205836AAcG6jC

I don't agree with some people said about why men ignore texts..but it's just their opinions.

It may not mean he's mad, it may not mean he's not interested, it may not mean he's doing it to hurt you, and it may mean he just doesn't feel like talking at the moment. Whatever it is, just ASK! That's all you can do because believe me..you can't force them to text back, unfortunately.

Good luck, hope I helped! :). You don't sound dumb! Every girl in the world has these problems! Including me haha.

Feel free to ask more :)!

Q: hello (:
well the thing i was most shocked about was when he said, "cause i would never let anything happen to you". i don't know why, but it really got to me... do you think i should fall for it? because i really don't know what to do anymore...

what did you think about that?
and everything else /:
and agian, thank you sooo much for your help with everything!
Hi :)!

Honestly, it's obvious why you would fall for it. So would I! And many other girls. I'm not going to say no..because, maybe he actually is sincere.

The reason why I really dont think you should believe him 100% is because of what went on in the past with him. I would suggest just to not get too emotionally attached to this type of guy. By doing that (With this guy only) it's going to lead to heartbreak. So, "keep your guard up" just a little! I'm not saying be completely closed and not tell him anything and don't believe him..because, that'd be horrible. Just keep it 50/50 with him!

Here's a site on "How To Spot A Player"..maybe it'll help, haha:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4930561_spot-a-player.html

Okay! No problem :) I'm going to answer your other question now!


Q: heey, i'm back!
well out of no where i texted him saying hey can you describe me in three words and he said
best friend ever
ha, weirdddddd!
well okay so i've tried SO HARD to not to him. well lets name him bob. i've told myself over and over again that i should stop talking to bob for a while. but it never works, i give in to temptation. well yesterday i texted him (of course) and we were talking about this haunted house thing at this place near us that happens all of october. and i was like i wanna go but i'm too scared (which is VERY true) and he was like well ill go with you and i was like im scared! and he goes you dont gotta be if im there and i go ha are you sure about that and he goes positive and i go why? and he goes cause and i go cause why and he goes cause i wouldnt let anything happen to you. and i was like aw good to know and he goes ya. and that was it. AHHHHHHHHH!!
well then i was telling him about this guy i went out with in the first of the summer and then i broke up with him and how he's STILL not over me now and i also put isn't that horrible?! and what does bob say? he says no i can understand why he still loves you

WTF what does he mean by that?! ugh
please help me as much as possible
and im sorry to keep having these problems lol
Hey :)!

Well he is being very sweet towards you..which is, of course, great. However! Before, in the last advice thing, we talked about the whole sex thing. Basically, I know this may be what you don't want to hear..but..he may be doing it because he still wants to have sex. It's very rare a guy will give up easily. As I said, guy's will do anything to have sex.

Is he into you: I know this may seem stupid..but sometimes it helps a lot! Here are some sites that will give you a hint if he's REALLY into you or just your body:
http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-He-into-Me?-5-Proven-Ways-to-Find-Out&id=742557
http://www.yelp.com/topic/los-angeles-is-he-into-me-or-not
http://www.articlesbase.com/relationships-articles/is-he-into-me-know-the-little-clues-of-his-interest-1216527.html

And finally: This is called "Is he into me enough to go out with eachother or does he only just like me a little or as a friend?:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818063213AALkPfL

When he said "No I can understand why he still loves you":
That's a sign of flirting. He's basically saying that you're wonderful enough to make him not stop loving you still. Again, he may be just doing this on purpose.

These situations are hard mainly because you don't know a guy's true intention. I think he'd be a good boyfriend if he matured and everything. If you do end up dating him sometime...make sure you make him WAIT for sex no matter what.

What can you do as of right now? Maybe ask him why he's being so nice, ask him about a relationship, ask him ANYTHING! Asking is the only way you'll understand because guy's can be quite good at hiding their true feelings and what they really want.

Don't be sorry!!I'm here to give advice haha.

Good luck, let me know what goes on :D

Q: Who do you think should have been cast for bella swan in twilight? Not that i don't love kristen stewart, i just don't think shes 100% accurate for the part. I want to know who you think should have played her. Just don't say emily browning, or the panabaker sisters please.
Kristen Stewart is okay. Not that much of a fan of hers. However, other celebrities such as Emma Watson would've been good, (from Harry Potter). Emma is a very good actress! Very pretty too. I think she would've done a great job. Alexis Bledel probably would've been a good choice too! But, she has this kind of "shy" look to her..so not too sure about her.

Well, those are just my opinions! haha

Q: Hi. 17/M. Im studying american history, and one topic is the vietnam war. I do not understand why John F. Kennedy is considered a hero, when in reality, his actions worsened the state of the USA in vietnam. Maybe im missing something? anyone help me out?

thanks.
I've also studied American History.
Believe it or not..JFK was willing to sacrifice much for his country. He made some pretty good economical decisions. He played a role in creating the peace corps, which are volunteer's to help fight for the country. He responded to the Cuban Missile Crisis with bravery, JFK went for a less dangerous response and ordered a blockade of Cuba in order to prevent Russian ships from bringing additional missiles and construction materials to Cuba.

Now, During the Vietnam war..President Kennedy sent the Special Forces, known also as the Green Berets, to Vietnam.

Not sure if this helps..but, here's what I found on the same site:

Vietnam
The extent of Kennedy's involvement in Vietnam remained classified until the release of The Pentagon Papers in 1971.[28] In Southeast Asia, Kennedy followed Eisenhower's lead by using limited military action as early as 1961 to fight the Communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh. Proclaiming a fight against the spread of Communism, Kennedy enacted policies providing political, economic, and military support for the unstable French-installed South Vietnamese government, which included sending 16,000 military advisors and U.S. Special Forces to the area. Kennedy also authorized the use of free-fire zones, napalm, defoliants, and jet planes. U.S. involvement in the area escalated until Lyndon Johnson, his successor, directly deployed regular U.S. forces for fighting the Vietnam War.

By July 1963, Kennedy faced a crisis in Vietnam: despite increased U.S. support, the South Vietnamese military was only marginally effective against pro-Communist Viet-Minh and Viet Cong forces. Regarding Ngo Dinh Diem, the Roman Catholic President of South Vietnam, as insufficiently anti-Communist, the U.S. gave secret assurances of non-interference for an impending coup d'état.[29] On November 1, 1963, South Vietnamese generals overthrew the Diem government, arresting and soon killing Diem (though the circumstances of his death were obfuscated).[30] Kennedy sanctioned Diem's overthrow.[31] One reason to support the coup was a fear that Diem might negotiate a neutralist coalition government which included Communists, as had occurred in Laos in 1962. Dean Rusk, Secretary of State, remarked "This kind of neutralism…is tantamount to surrender."

Kennedy increased the number of U.S. military in Vietnam from 800 to 16,300. It remains a point of some controversy among historians whether or not Vietnam would have escalated to the point it did had Kennedy served out his full term and been re-elected in 1964.[32] Fueling the debate are statements made by Kennedy's and Johnson's Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara that Kennedy was strongly considering pulling out of Vietnam after the 1964 election. In the film "The Fog of War", not only does McNamara say this, but a tape recording of Lyndon Johnson confirms that Kennedy was planning to withdraw from Vietnam, a position Johnson states he strongly disapproved of.[33] Additional evidence is Kennedy's National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 263, dated October 11, 1963, which ordered withdrawal of 1,000 military personnel by the end of 1963.[34] Nevertheless, given the stated reason for the overthrow of the Diem government, such action would have been a policy reversal, but Kennedy was generally moving in a less hawkish direction in the Cold War since his acclaimed speech about World Peace at American University the previous June 10, 1963.

After Kennedy's assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson immediately reversed his predecessor's order to withdraw 1,000 military personnel by the end of 1963 with his own NSAM 273 on November 26, 1963.

Good luck, hope I helped :)



Q: I have this guy friend that I've had a crush on for forever. I finally told him two or three weeks ago and he handled it surprisingly well. I figured that we would get past it and nothing more would really be said about it since he wasn't interested in me back like that.

Well, the end of last week got really weird. He has been calling me a little more lately but last week he started to sound more and more, well, sexual to me. I mean, he started making comments to me about my body and how I take care of my figure. He even went as far as to say how he had...er...dreams of me sometimes.

I didn't want him to not be my friend any more so I just shrugged the comments off like they didn't effect me at all. Today though was a different story and I can't really just ignore it. I see that my harmless, "I have a huge crush on you!" confession is being taken as a hook-up request.

Today he calls and says he's been thinking and that we could really be great in a friends with benefits type of relationship. He started to tell me how I would be really happy and fulfilled and he would be happy to please me. It got really creepy and I just kind of lied and said my mom needed me and to call me later and I hung up.

How do I tell him that I just don't want to be friends with benefits? I'm not that type of girl. Yes, I like him but I don't want to be used, you know? I feel like I made a huge mistake and have ruined what a great friendship we had simply because I told him I had a crush on him. What do I do? Can my friendship be salvaged? Do I just tell him to lay off with the sexual stuff because I am not interested in that? Ugh, I feel so stupid...
I understand how you feel COMPLETELY! Same exact thing happend to me. He's basically taking the feelings you have for him to his advantage. Why? Because he's a guy! And at a young age, quite honestly, all they care about is sex. I don't know this guy, and I'm sure he's not doing it on purpose to hurt you (unless, he's a player/jerk type of guy..).

What's with all the body compliments?: I'm sure you've heard that guy's will say pretty much anything to get in your pants. That's actually VERY true. The guy who did this same exact thing to me would always give me compliments on how I look. They think "If I give her some compliments..maybe she'll sleep with me."

I agree with you about him calling you to tell you to be friends with benefits is very creepy. However, a lot of guys do that too. The guy I knew actually texted me, after I told him many times I wanted a relationship, and he say's "We don't need the relationship..you can just have all the benefits of it though." Rude right? Exactly! That's how many of them are. But, not ALL.

My whole point is!: You have to tell him as soon as possible that you don't want to be friends with benefits. I never did that until a while later because I didn't want to lose the friendship, which was my biggest mistake. If you don't tell him, he's not going to stop. So just simply tell him how you feel. And you can even add that you still want to remain friends.

Good luck!
Hope I helped :).
