How much of a chance is there of getting pregnant if a condom was used, and it was checked afterwards for no leaks and there wasnt any. What is the chance of getting pregnant, i know nothings 100% sure...


i'll rate 5's just for a decent answer (link)
there is always a slim chance of being pregnant even after using a condom. The risk is there, but its very small. I believe the number is about 98.9%


I jammed my middle finger on my left hand and it kills! :-( so I need to know how to fix if before the morning cuz i have basketball!
Thanx (link)
ice, lots of ice. I know it sounds drastic, but stick your finger in a cup of ice water and don't take it out until it hurts. I sprained my ankle last year and was back running in 2 days. it works I promise!


I'm a 14/f and i would like to give my boyfriend head, but i'm scared because i dont want to hurt him because of my braces or rip the condom or anything. what should i do?

you're 14, take a break and look at what you're doing. you really shouldn't be doing this type of thing until you're older. give your self the opportunity of a child hood, serously, you have more to be worried about than giving a guy head.


how do i find good friends (who are not boring) in college if i'm shy and maybe slightly weird?
i'm female, 17 (link)
join clubs, intermerial sports. find people who are interesting in the same sort of things you are. join study groups for some of your classes.
hope I helped!


I have Windows XP...How can I take a file of a song I find on the Internet and put it on iTunes? Also, how can I take a song from iTunes and send it to someone on AIM? I rate... (link)
iTunes is really strict with sharing files. You can't take a file off the internet and put it in your iTunes library, nor can you share iTunes files. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
hope I helped!


thnx in advance for answering this.. i rate high.. 15/f... well i like my really good frend... and im getting mixed signals from him.. and i want to know how you tell if one of your frend likes you.. PLEASE HELP.. ILL RATE HIGH!!! (link)
mixed signals suck, don't they? I've had some trouble with them in the past. Based on my previous experiences, if you tell him you like him, and he doesn't return the feelings, the worsn't he can say is no. My friend and I are still very good friends, and we are the same as before I brought liked him into our relationship. If he does like you he'll be impressed with you bringing the subject up. believe me, every thing will work out!


Hey if anybody can help me can ya'll tell me how does Jem and Scout change during the course of the novel? and how do they remain the same?if ya'll can't help me can ya'll tell me a website i can go to. Thanx!!!! (link)
spark notes! I hated that book, and I used spark noted for every thing. sparknotes.com it should work wonders!


16 and Male, if that makes any difference.
OK. On Sunday, I played DDR. I normally don't, but I decided to. I strectched an everything before doing it. I, being so inept at DDR, selected a pre-made program of songs. Little did I know that these songs were not all Light songs.
Anyways, those 12 songs took me 22 minutes. Then, I tried getting out of the area, but I accidentally selected a 4 song program, which had me dancing anoth 10. so, 32 minutes.
I rested, re-stretched, and then just decided to play around in the light mode with a few songs. In total, I did about 8 more songs, yet that took me 28 minutes. So, an hour of DDR.
Naturally, I was sore after. But, I went to sleep that night, and woke up the next day feeling fine. Then, at Band, we added in a move where we had to squat partially down with our knees. Well, I learned then that I somehow had lost 150 degrees of mobility between the morning and then. I couldn't bend my knees below 150 degrees while standing up and my feet are together. I used to get all the way down. Apart, I could, but not without a lot of effort. And when sitting, I can get around 30 degrees.
Then, yesterday, this mobility stayed the same, if not got worse. I had a lot of difficulty walking with the limited range, but made it. And it's the same today.
However, my knee does not hurt at all. My calf is the only thing in pain. Yet, it's somehow limiting knee mobility.
What could have happened? Is it just a strain, or something worse? I have had tendinitis, FYI, but it doesn't hurt like then. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or advise on what to do, I know that, just a guess on what is wrong with me. I've heard that ligiment tears don't hurt if it's just the ligament. Could it be that?
Thanks for your help! I do rate for the first few answers I like. (link)
I have tendonitius in both my knees and had surgery on one of them. Playing DDR isn't the best thing for them, believe me. the stomping and jumping just hurts them. even if your knees don't hurt, they can still loose mobility. I'd try icing them. my doctor says to use dixie cups. put water in them,freeze them. peel down the paper, and rub on your knee until the ice melts, contunue peeling the paper away until there is no ice left.
hope I helped!


Lately I've been cutting myself when the stress gets to be too much.Yesterday I cut myself like 6 times... How can I stop myself from cutting myself? (link)
put rubber bands on your arms, each time you have the urge to cut, simply snap the rubber band. I hope I helped!


alright well im having surgery on monday of next week (the 11th)and i was supposed to get my period last thursday. but i havent yet. and its a surgery where ill be in the hospital for 2 weeks and stuff and i dont want to be on my period during the surgery cuz its like a 7 hour surgery and stuff so what should i do? thanks (link)
it is your doctor and nurses job to take care of you. if you're on you period or get your period, just tell them. don't go into the surgery with out telling them if you're on your period. that could lead to complications depending on what type of surgery it is.


Can anyone give me tips on how to write a great 5 paragraph essay? I'm not great with keeping things in order when I write. I need an explanination of a "topic setence with TRANSITION". thanks for your help! (link)
the 1st paragraph should be an introduction with a thesis statement.
the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs should all elaborate on specific details in your thesis
your 5th paragraph should be a conclusion

I'm not too shure about a "topic sentence with Transition" but make sure each paragraph begins with a topic sentence relavant to what the paragraph is going to deal with.

iwent rollerskating one night and i met this guy. he asked me my name and then i asked him his. the next time i saw aat skating he gave me a hug and said hi. then my friend said she had his number and that she would give it to me. i called him and he said he couldnt talk. then i called him the next day and he didnt answer. then from then on everytime i called him he wouldnt answer. on the first day of school i saw him i went up to him and he said he didnt know me and then just walked away. i saw him at a party recently and i said hi and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. what is his deal and why is he being such a jerk. i know that he knows who i am, but hes being such ajerk to me. please guys and girls help me out!!! (link)
you probably should have waited for him to give you his phone number. he probably felt like you were a bit stalker-ish because you called him so many times. If I were in your shoes I'd move on and find another guy, this time wait for him to make the first move. There are pleanty of fish in the sea!
hope I helped!


i keep going for a wee the last few days, i've been at least 8-10 times just today i did have unprotected sex just over 2 week ago but he did pull out before he came i know people do get pregnant from the "pull out" method also im 10 days late for a period it isn't unsual for me tho but could i be pregnant? (link)
yeah you can be pregnant. the only way to prevent pregnancy completely is to not have sex. even all the birth control in the world can't guarantee conception. take a pregnancy test to find out.


i really want to get a new cell phone & cell phone service..
i still want to be able to have unlimited texting, and good minutes.. long distance as well to keep in touch with my family..& voicemail..
does any know of really good services that are a good price for all that stuff i want to be able to have? (link)
I've had good service with Cingular. you can get unlimited long distance and text messaging. voice mail is free. my package doesn't have limited minutes. you pay for what you use, none of the roll over or a certain amount of minutes. I love it, expecially because my parents pay for it! ; )


I have field hockey tryouts tonight, and for the past 3 tryouts, I've hated it. I can't run that much, and I'm not good enough. I really wanna just quit, but my mom and dad will be so dissapointed, even though they try not to show it. Should I quit or not? What's the best thing to do in this situation? Please hurry I have tryouts @ 4:30 pm tonite (link)
DON'T QUIT! push your self as hard as you can. even if you're going to throw up, faint. just do it. close your eyes and breath while running or excersizing. don't give up on your self, you'll regret it! do the best you can and don't put your self down!


At restaurants - what is the accepted etiquette/percentage for tipping someone who you have an outside friendship with? (link)
10-15% is normal depending on the restaurant and their service. but if you know the person, add a few dollars maybe.


I'm in middle school, but I'm kinda bright for my age, so I'm taking Algebra, advanced science, a Seminar in which we'll be doing things like debates, Animal Farm (great book), and an essay on the Sneetches (don't ask), and I'm also in an advanced English class. Can somebody tell me advice for how I can finish all my homework on time and still spend at least an hour or two on the computer? Thanks! (link)
it really shouldn't be that big of a problem. wait until you get into high school and take a bunch of AP classes then ask how to finnish your homework. to make extra time try studdying and doing homework during lunch. do your work as soon as you get home. the best advice I can give you is not to stress you. you're only in middle school. these grades won't count towards any thing. colleges won't look at them. at most they will be used to determine your classes in high school. but missing one home work assignment won't kill you! find some thing better to do then spending an hour or two on the computer. play sports. getting good grades isn't every thing! believe me. I was exactly like you in middle school. now I'm taking 4 AP classes, playing soccer, swimming, running cross country, running an ROTC unit, coaching, random girl scout things, taking SAT courses. middle school advanced courses really aren't some thing to be worried about! you don't have to be perfect! have as much fun as you can before high school!


how do i delete songs & photo's from my ipod? (link)
I'm pretty sure if you delete them from your iTunes library then the next time you update your iPod they should be deleted. I'm not sure though, some one told me that you need some extra software to delete things from your iPod. try taking it off your play lists though.
hope I helped!
