I just read that sperm can live for 24 hours in water and it got me thinking.
Im in the swim team, and we practive twice a week in a regular sized pool. Theres a bunch of kids (including boys) and we all practive together.
I always wear a one-piece bathing suit
What are the odds that i could get pregnant from swimming? Am i at risk?
I mean im 13. I dont want a baby yet
Sperm can last in water ONLY if its like 98 degrees exactly for the whole time. And with the sperm diluted in the water, there is as much chance of you getting pregnant as there is a guy getting pregnant from it.
You're 100% safe.
Just don't have sex and you won't get preggers :]
M/16 Ok, so me and my friends have been hanging out with a small group of girls. One of the girls I kind of like and I would like to ask her out. One of my friends heard that she likes me, so I'm really not too nervous about asking her out. I just dont know what to say. I mean, I know I shouldn't say "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" But when I ask her out, do I literally say "Would you like to go out with me?" Just confused about what to really say. Thanks
Before asking her to be your "girlfriend", I would ask her to hang out just the two of you. Maybe go up to her and say "Maybe sometime we could hang out or something", but be more assertive about it.. I know its nervewracking, but you should ask her to hang out before you ask her to go steady :]
Good luck!
Iv been dating this guy for almost a year now&&i dont know what to get him for his 17th bday. i want something nice,the price doesnt matter. i was going to take him to a concert but there isnt any around that time. Can anyone help me think of something??
I would definately see when one of his favorite bands are coming around eventually. Even in the future, he will greatly appreciate your gift. I mean, who doesn't love concerts?!
If that doesn't work for you, I would get him a band shirt, sweatshirt, or other merch from their shop.
:]
Yeah this is pretty kiddish. Because I'm almost 17 but how do you know? I've been talking to a number of guys and yet I can't tell which ones really like me or not. Like what are the signals. Do they say they miss you and stuff? I just want to know some signals on how to find out if he likes me or not. thank you for your help!!!!
OK. What I've noticed is that the more you think that "this guy likes me", the more akward it is around the guy, therefore making it intimidating for the guy.
I would just play it cool, and if he really wants you, then he will flirt more and more and more. (until it gets painfully obvious). Also, see how he is around other girls, or around his best girl friends. Does he flirt with you just like he flirts with them? If so, this is just how he talks to girls and he just likes you as a friend. But once it gets painfully obvious, I'd ask for a second opinion (like a bff) to interpret what your conversations look like from the outside. (My friends always tell me that I'm flirting with a guy really bad or that he's flirting with me and I don't even know that it happened!).
This should make it easier, but I'd just play it cool.
:]
tyler is my best friends and i think i might like him, but i don't want to mess up our great friendship. i know he likes me too. his girlfriend broke up with him because he said to her face quote on quote "she's much hotter than you'll ever be," he is sooooooo sweat though. i don't whether i should trust him though because he is so desperate for popularity that once he tole my firneds deepest secret to the "cool kids" ( who are a buch of assholes)
I would NOT go out with him. I'm not judging him or his character or his morals or anything... but if his friends are assholes, then whenever you're around him and his friends, he's gonna be an asshole.
Also, about the comment to his ex-gf, what if that was you he said it to? What makes you believe he won't say or do something to that extent or worse next time?
I'm sorry, but from what you've said, he sounds like a J-E-R-K and you should wait until his ego shrinks (usually around 9th-10th grade).
I have been through this situation so many times and all this does is hurt you in the end.
For the past 3 months or possibly even longer, I've been noticing random bruises on my arms, I'm not sure if they're bruises i's just what they look like, but they're smaller and more purple. They don't hurt either, and I won't see it one hour then two hours later i have a bruise and I know for certain that I never hit that area. Plus, the bruises are always on the under sides of my upper arm, the part that's covered when you have you're arms at your side, or you see when you tie your hair in the mirror. I'll have one on one spot, and then the next day I have it on the next arm. It's happened more then once and they last 2 weeks to a full month. So what I'm wondering is is this a medical condition type thing or what? It's bothering me because I have people thinking my boyfriend gets aggressive and grabs me too tightly. Sorry it was so long, I was trying to be more specific rather than vague.
I would actually go to the doctor for this.
It could be forms of low vitamin levels orrr...
I had a friend who's sister had the same thing.. bruises in weird places for no reason... and it ended up that she had leukemia (bone marrow cancer).
So I would go to the doctor ASAP.

I just moved to a boarding school in a different state that's really far away from my old state. I've been here for like 3 weeks and I've started having my typical allergy symptoms that I get with pollen (though that's not an allergen here right now) to something else- but I can't figure out what it is.
how can i find out?
ps: i know there's mold here
I have severe allergies so I'm kind of like the non-educatad guru for allergies :]
I would say that your allergy could describe mold, pollen, dust, ragweed, tree pollen, just grass in general, cat/pet dandruff lying around on people's stuff from home (since its not too far in the school year to have everything washed yet), and a multitude of other things. Just go with the flow and if you really want to know, check the school nurse and ask her about the allergens in the air and how bad they are (school nurses know that kind of stuff), or go to an allergist (though I doubt you could see one in boarding school).
Have fun at boarding school! I'm jealous.

ok. this is what i'm gonna wear tomorrow..
its from macys, and its really cute. its this like purple, that seems to be somewhat in. that darker purple. and then like it dips down low kinda. kinda like a scoop shirt or whateveR? and then its a baby doll top, and it has silver trim, and the sleeves like kinda puff. and then it has threee little silver heart buttons, going down. its really cute. and then i'm just wearing dark jean capris. & then i have these cute little silver bracelets, 3 of them. that im gonna wear.
is that a good first day outfit?
I understand people don't dress up or anything. but i don't wanna look like a slob. i wanna look cute.
It's cute!
Just make sure you're not flashing too much clevage.. you don't want a new reputation on the first day of school :]
ok I didn't know it but while I was sleeping, pimples started growing and when they do, my skin there is really itchy.
I have long nails so my nails dug INTO my skin and made this jagged line on the side of my nose.
It's been 5 days and there's no sign that it's healing or anything.
What else can I do? Is it going to scar?
Don't pick at it or pick at the scab. BADDDDDD.
Put bacatracin (available at any local drug store) on it and if people at school ask say you ran into a door. (it works.. the same thing happened to me :] )
Okay im 13/f i need a way to loose a little belly fat b4 school starts im not fat but i have a little belly fat any quick ways i can get rid of it before next MONDAY!!??
You can go to the gym every day or every other day and run 10 minutes. Then the next time you go run 11 or 12 minutes. And keep pushing it up and you'll be in better shape!
Made is coming to my town. What are some cool things to be made into? I can't think of anything even though there are alot of things I would like to try. But for sure cannot think of anything super amazing, y'know? What would you like to see someone be made into? Haha. Thanks.
I would try being made into a Lacrosse player or an Ice Hockey player, whichever sport is bigger in your area.
That would make good TV!
waiting for change?
"Wait"--The Afters
a beautiful song :]
ok,so i was on www.barenecessities.com and i saw a bra that would b perfect for the dress im wearing to a wedding.it wasnt strapless,but it was a REALLY deep plunge.like i think it was called a U-Plunge?
but i really need to find one like it quickly.
its not strapless,but if u could find a strapless one that would be amazing.
thanks
Nordstrom has an amazing bra like the one you just described. Pay a visit, get measured by a professional (its free!) and buy the bra in the right size. Their bras last forever and are unbelieveably high quality and comfort, so its worth it!
Where can I get some cheap skinny jeans?
I'd love for them to be less than 30 dollars but that's kind of hard to find. I'm going back to school shopping soon and I like cheap stuff because I hate spending a lot of money on like one shirt. So please tell me some good stores with decent prices.
I tried on some at Forever 21 and PacSun this weekend!
Forever 21 goes as low as $20
PacSun's are $30.
ok first off i know this is a question that i could easily find the answer to on google, but my google is acting up and everytime i click a link it redirects me to the same stupid ebay site.. ANYWAYS. is the band called Alex Is On Fire
or Alexis On Fire
cause on my ipod it just says alexisonfire
Alexis on Fire
And if you have no luck there, I would go on myspace and search it on myspace music.
That may be their "official site".
I really need a new straightener, because my old Conair straightener stopped working all of a sudden
a couple days ago.
My mom said she'd buy me a Chi straightener but I don't know if I want one.
I was thinking of getting this Bed Head straightener.
http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=2144454
Does anyone know for sure or has one, or has used one.
Does it work the same as a chi, better or less?
It seems that it's really good.
Please tell me ASAP.
I'm going to go get it Tuesday.
Which is better Chi or Bed Head?
I would go for the Chi, but if you don't want one, get the Hot Tools straightner. I have this one and it works like magic :]
And it's only $50.
Yay!
what are good first dates for couples. i need some ideas plz! thanks in advance :)
adding on to the person bleow me:
I would also try an arcade or a Dave and Busters kind of place. Or maybe there's a county fair or a carnival in town?
That kind of thing is always fun on single and group dates :]
You can also go to your local amusement park for a day (six flags, busch gardens, kings dominion, hershey park... etc.) and that might be fun too (but would take a lot more planning and money).
you have probably been asked this a trillion times but how do you make out with someone. like for how long should it be. i know it depends how into it you are. but im rilly nervous for my me and my bf's first kiss
I would let your bf lead. Just go with it. Once you start doing it, it seems natural and it's quite easy. And you both know when to pull away. It's weird. But fun. Just don't sweat it. And make sure to breathe through your nose and don't shove your tounge down his throat or eat his face off with your lips. EEw.
And don't do it during school. It might seem cool, but it just grosses people out. And then you regret it (I've been there before.).
is there anything besides running that i can do to get in shape for track & field/cross-country?
I would do leg and arm weights at your gym. They really help:]
Also, email your coach and ask him this same question. He's the one that's going to be deciding how much you participate in meets, so his opinion is top priority.
Good luck!
the other day i excercised and my muscles were still aching the next day.
is that normal/okay?
should i postpone excercising until they don't ache anymore? or go on as usual?
If your muscles ache, its no big deal! They're just sore because they're not used to being used in that way. Just stretch all of them out really well before you exercise next and they will stop aching real soon.
:]
