is having sex before marriage a sin (link)
|
Personally? No, but then I don't believe in God. So for me the question of what is and isn't a sin is a bit moot because I have to think about what I think is okay from my own moral perspective.
I suspect (though I'm certainly no expert) that from a strictly Biblical point of view (or indeed many other religious books) it is. But so are many, many things that people do all day every day, even very religious people (for example, the Bible forbids people to lend or borrow money with interest but if you have a bank account you're doing that automatically!)
I think if you're wondering whether or not to have sex before marriage yourself you should think about whether you personally feel comfortable with it. That might be from your own perspective or from how others around you would react. But you should make up your own mind ultimately and don't succumb to peer pressure either to have sex, or not to.

is it alright to have a crush on an actor as long as you dont go bananas??? like a small one not too serious??? i feel guilty because i do>>>> sorry that this question is properly punctuated> the shift key has suddenly been deactivated

Of course - or a singer, sports star, heck even a politician if you're really weird! Like you said - "just don't go bananas". Maybe look up some fan sites for this person and you'll probably find tons of other people with a similar crush to you. And in all likelihood, in about 6 months' time, you'll have a crush on someone else altogether ... Enjoy!!

i want to contact a local retirement home to volunteer there. i need more extra cirricular activities for college so i wanna do something like that. im thinking about emailing them, any suggestions on what i should say in an email or on the phone? i need any kind of ideas. ♥ (link)

Call them up (better than an email) and ask to speak to someone about volunteering. Tell them how old you are, where you live, and how often and what sort of hours you might be able to help out. Make sure that you have parental consent if you need it. Mostly they will be really glad of having volunteers, but make sure you go down there first (if you don't know it already) and get a sense of the sort of things you might have to do before you start and make sure you're happy. They might have suggestions of the sorts of things you can help out with or you might have some ideas of your own! Good luck!

My older sister is 17 (Im about to turn 14 in a few days) and today I was hanging out with her in her room while she was looking through her drawers for a pair of shorts. I saw something that looked like a condom wrapper but she covered it up so quickly, i thought i must have seen it wrong because my sister told me shes a virgin. Well, when she left the house, I snooped & turns out .. it was condoms, a few of them. And about 3 were un opened. Im MAD. She lied to me. And shes told me repeatedly how she wants to save herself until marriage. I dont know what to do, do i tell anyone? Im afraid she'll get an STD, or pregnant. But I cant talk to HER. Or she'll freak out at me and deny it - i know. (link)

First off - you probably shouldn't have snooped. But heck, we're all human and we've all done it from time to time because our natural curiosity gets the better of us.
So the situation is this:
* Your sister has told you that she's a virgin
* You've found some condoms in her drawer (I don't know why you say that three were unopened - do you mean three boxes? Three condoms? Were there open ones in there - why would anyone keep an open condom in their draw?)
But anyway - you've made the leap that the condoms mean she's definitely having sex. That might not be true - she might just be being sensible and keeping prepared for any eventuality. Sometimes people say one thing and do another. Why do you think she's saying that she will stay a virgin till she's married? Perhaps there's peer pressure in your family or her friend group to do so. Are you mad at her for lying (if she is having sex) or because you personally think it's wrong of her to be having sex before marriage?
Even if she is having sex, so long as she's using those condoms (and preferably another method of birth control too) the likelihood of her getting pregnant is practically zero and she's really unlikely to get an STD too.
I don't think you should tell anyone - just accept that your sister may well have a life that you don't know anything about and there's probably a good reason she wants to keep it that way.

Ok well i am overweight i guess you could say. for the past couple days i have been doing crunches and pushups at nights, and i have been eating mostly liek low fat non-flavord yogurt and stuff like that. I am also in cheerleading and i have practices 2 times a week. i will soon be starting v-ball...how long do you think results will come to being skinnier?? (link)

It depends on how "overweight" you are to begin with. Very overweight people will lose weight much more quickly than people who are only just a bit over what they should be. But it sounds like you are doing all the right things - just remember to not be hard on yourself if you don't notice a massive difference overnight. Don't get disheartened. Sometimes because you see yourself every day you convince yourself that nothing's changing. But when you see someone who you haven't seen for a while and they ask - "have you lost weight?" - you'll know there's been a change! Good luck!
