All of my life my mom had told me to take HOT showers to help get all of the dirt and germs off of me. I always try to take the hottest showers possible. Well, recently, I passed out (I sometimes do) in the shower and my boyfriend said it was because the water was way too hot to be in and that I should be taking warm-to-cool showers even. Who is right?

Whatever is comfortable for you is really the right answer. Showers should not be uncomfortable to the touch. Medical evidence exists noting that hot showers can worsen some medical conditions, such as low blood pressure and multiple sclerosis. Also people with acne and eczema tend to have worsened conditions from taking very hot showers. Conversely if you have high blood pressure or a heart condition, it may not be wise to take a very cold shower. Cold water constricts blood vessels which can cause blood pressure to rise quickly.
The key is to find what feels comfortable for you!

So there's this guy that i've had a crush on for forever. He moved and I got a boyfriend (together 9 months) and i forgot about him. But he moved back and my feelings for him returned too, but i also love my boyfriend. The other guy likes me too so he asked me to hang out with him. I wasn't going to because i didn't want to hurt my bf, but i decided i would just to see if i felt anything. So we were hanging out and i let him put his arm around me, he tried to kiss me but i didn't let him. We didn't do anything else. It turns out im not as crazy about him as i thought. Anyways, would this be considered cheating? Should i tell my boyfriend about it? Am i a bad person for doing this?

Thanks

To answer your questions. no, yes, no.
If you two didn't even kiss then it's not a big deal, there was no cheating involved. You may have cheated on your boyfriends trust in you, but that's about it. You should also tell your boyfriend. He deserves to know. Plus you don't want him to find out that you've hung out with another guy alone from somebody else. THAT would be bad. You should explain that he tried to kiss you and you pushed him away. He should be happy with you for that atleast. He might be a little touchy that you hung out with another guy, but if you two have a good enough of a connection, then he'll understand and subsequently let it quickly pass.

our school talent show is coming up... can anyone recommend a good song to sing?

There You'll Be by Faith Hill.
It's not an easy song, but if you sing well, it would sound amazing. It's from 2001, but I heard someone sing it at my school last week &she sang it great!
You should really youtube the video if you haven't heard it!

me and my boyfriend broke up a week ago and i found a new guy but i dont no if he likes me or wants to be with me. should i ask or should i go back to my ex who is like heartbroken because of the break up? help me i dont no what the right thing to do is?

My only advice for that is:
Don't settle for your ex. If you can do better, you should. Don't feel tied down because he is upset. I'm sure that you and your boyfriend broke up for a reson. Think long and hard about that reason. If you feel like you REALLY still want to be with him, then go back. If you don't, then don't go back to him. Listen to what you're head and heart are telling you to do.

Let's say you have sex 4 days before you're supposed to get your period and you get pregnant (hey, it's possible). Would the period you're supposed to get in 4 days be affected at all or would it only affect your next coming period a cycle later?

If you're absolutely sure that it was your period then there is no way that you could possibly be pregnant. An egg needs at least 9-12 days to travel down the fallopian tubes, implant in your uterus, and get your hormone levels high enough for you’re lining to stay and not shed. If you are pregnant then you would not have gotten a period and what you may have experienced could be early pregnancy bleeding, which couldn't be your period, as pregnancy hormones prevent the ovary's release of an egg as well as the buildup and subsequent shedding of the uterine lining. It could also be from implantation bleeding or becoming pregnant while on "the Pill".

Generally speaking, if you are pregnant, you will not get your period this week, and what you have already experienced as your "period" was some other sort of bleeding, or you are not pregnant and you will consequently get your period next month.
