um me and my bf were having sex for the first time with each other and well he forgot his condom will this get me pregnate and can i use extra birth control to prevent this pregancy? (link)
use the morning after pill. also, if he doesn't have a condom, then you should definitely already be on birth control and still have him pull out. if you're not on birth control and he doesn't have a condom, tell him to go buy some!! at this point, you should go buy some yourself to have a stash at your house.


I have really bad stomach aches when I'm on my period, and I mean like agony, keeling over kind of thing. I have tried taking paracetamol and that does nothing. Ibroprofen works, but Its stong and I'm afraid I take too many and will overdose. I also sometimes take them when i'm tired or stressed to deal with tension headaches. I can't deal with the stomach agony anymore anyone got any ideas how to help me??? (link)
take both tylenol and ibuprofin (advil), starting the day you expect your period (don't wait until you start feeling the agonizing pain). if that doesn't help, consider getting birth control, which lessens cramping.


hi im 10 and i was wonder how old you have to be to babysit. (link)
people babysit at many different ages, especially other family members. i would ask your family if they'd feel comfortable letting you babysit, and then let them decide. if you're thinking of setting up a business, people often get CPR training certified to boost their credibility. i would check on the age limits for that. and if you're too young, try to work on babysitting family members until then, so you can market yourself as already having experience!


One night at a party, and I was running around outside with my friends until i tripped and i lost my necklace. I asked a boy to help me look in the woods for it, because that's where I lost it. While we were in the woods, he said "What do I get if I find it?" and I said, you'll find out when you find it! And sure enough he found my necklace, then he asked for his "reward" and I said he gets nothing but a thank you.

So school started this week, and today a boy walked up to me and said "HEY, if i find your necklace will you give ME head?" and I was really confused. Until one of my close friends came up to me and asked me if i blew a kid who found my necklace at a party. Of course I said no.. because i didn't! And people in school keep bringing it up.

I guess I'm just asking if you have any tips on how to cope with it? Ignore it? Etc.

Thankssss. (link)
first of all, that jerk needs to feel bad for what he did. how to do this? nicely request a conference with your counselor to tell him/her what happened, and how it's having repercussions for you around school. see if they can set up some "conflict resolution" between you, so he can apologize in person and say that he will put the rumor to rest. tell your friends it didn't happen, and have them spread the word that the guy is a loser who spreads rumors because he can't seem to get any on his own. if anyone asks about it, tell them exactly what happened. it's honestly a pretty terrible story that he should feel embarassed to have repeated.


How long does it take for an STD to show up on a test (link)
it depends on the std. i would get tested every 6 months, and then go in immediately if you think you've had sexual contact with someone who has an STD or if you notice any physical symptoms.


Hello,
I have been married for 2 years. My husband seems to feel the need to have female friends. One female friend he has known a very long time and they are like brother/sister.I am actually fine w/their friendship. Today I want out of town and he told me she was going to spend the night at our place as she lives far away. I told him I felt very uncomfortable w/any female spending the night while I am not there. So now he is mad at me,does not see my point and thinks I am wrong for my views on this.
I do have an issue w/his other female friend. They worked together for 1 year and have seemed to develop a very close friendship. I found out that he was holding money for her, they would have lunch at work together. There were rumors of them having an affair. I told him there friendship was way too close but again, he does not see anything wrong w/it.
I don't know what to do and how to make him see my side. We all know if the tables were turned he would feel the same way! (link)
trust your husband. tell him how you feel, let him explain, and then believe him. simple as that. if you chose to marry him, i hope you did so with the knowledge that he was a good, responsible, loving person whom you could trust.


how do girls get fingered standing and in a car iwant to know (link)
previous answer is correct. she may need to open her legs a bit, totally easy to do.


I know sugar is real bad for you and can make you fat and sluggish. I am trying to lose weight and been using SPLENDA sweetener. I like the sweetner personally. My Mom told me today she won't buy me any more Splenda though because it is artificial or something and it is toxic. I don't know what she's talking about. THE STORE SELLS IT. If it was bad it wouldn't be on shelves right? Is it bad or not? I want to show my mom it isn't harmful so she will buy it for me for my diet. (link)
the research on splenda is inconclusive, whereas there is proven research on some other articifial sweeteners that they can cause cancer. switch to truvia, which comes from the stevia plant and is not artificial. you could also just use less sugar, but that's the harder option, so i won't force it upon you.


My best friend and I want my best guy friend to come over to my house and chill with us. play some tunes out in my yard, just chill, have a good time. But he bailed and I got really mad at him, but we got over it and now everything is okay. He had told me that he actually can make it to hang out. But now I kind of want to tell him that I can't and we have to reschedule so he wonders what I'm doing and maybe who I'm with. Maybe tell him that I'm at a party or something. But I would only do that with the sole intent of him wondering and thinking about me. Which I'm not sure will happen. He bails on alot of things. But he usually either unbails.. or reschedules.

What should I do? Thanks. (link)
first, decide if you want to be friends with someone who bails and is not dependable. you really can't change people so you have to accept him for who he is. perhaps you can just invite him to things with the personal expectation that he won't show up. you can also let him know that he seems undependable; this might encourage him to change at some point down the line - BUT DON'T FOOL YOURSELF into thinking that you can change him, or that he will ever change. this is the truth.


My first day of highschool ( freshman ) is coming up on the 8th or 9th and its a small school but im afraid of getting harrassed like in the 6th 7th and 8th grade... what do I do? im very shy and nervous I cant even answer a question in this town without someone making fun of me like if i accident answer it wrong or something... (link)
first of all, you need to think about what it is about you that people don't like. for example, some people have poor hygiene or don't bother matching their clothes or just make silly comments that don't make sense. these are definitely things worth changing. second, you need to think about the types of things that other people like. it's easier to make friends when you show that you care about other people and the things they care about. maybe it's sports. maybe its television. who knows. pick a group that you feel you can most closely relate to and work on befriending them. making friends takes work!


I am 18 year old boy and there is a girl that I like. I am not going out with her but we work together. but it is  
strange because I like her in a different way. Usually when I (or a boy my age) has a crush or likes a girl, it is usually sexual or based on appearance. With this girl, all I have cared about was her feelings. I realize that that's a good thing, but I don't feel that way about  anybody else, not even other girls I have gone out with.

It feels like i'm in elementary school. I get really nervous around her, and I think about her the same way I used to think about my 1st  grade crush. Nothing innapropriate.
I seem to care about her feelings way too much. Sometimes when she isn't smiling, I would ask if she is alright. I think I ask her that 4 times a week. I'm not saying I'm a  careless person to other people, but when something is bothering her, it also bothers  me. If she looks upset, I will talk to her about it and it concerns me  for the rest of the day while I'm not even with her.

I am not the kind of guy to talk about my feelings, but when I talk to her I seem to let everything out, whether she cares or not. we have had a few conversations with each other and in those conversations, she would tell me about what she hates about herself and I would confort her. I would tell her about my insecurities and she would work with me. (we both seem to have self esteem issues). I feel  nervous with her, but at the same time I feel too comfortable.

By the way, she has a boyfriend, so I'm not planning on making any  moves or anything. We are just friends. (we aren't even very close  friends. Just distant friends). Even if they broke up, she just started college put of state so she is 6 hours away. I'm just not sure why I feel this way about her. It's not like any  crush I've had. By the way I realize that this is probably a normal feeling, but I'm young so it is new for me.
 If you understand what I'm going through, it would be appreciated if  you could explain.

Thank you. (link)
so, this is not love, this is infatuation. and it's certainly lovely, as the women responders have noted, but also harmful if you don't recognize it for what it is. as long as the "friendship" remains mutual -- as in, she continues to support you emotionally as you do for her -- then things are fine, but realize that the chances of this lasting forever seem small. especially since she is now far away, and also has a boyfriend. continue to be kind to her and help her out, but find ways to concentrate your attentions elsewhere, or on someone who is close by.


Okey, I've tried working out, eating healthy and even counting every single calorie, and it STILL hasnt wokred! So please, don't give me the doctor-answer. Spare me the "healthy-talk".

If I skip dinner, and eat as much lunch as I do now, no more, no less..will I lose weight?

Just a simple yes or now, not "eating helthy, skip the sweets, try the gym" because I've foine that already. I've even tried making myself throw up, but my mother caught me.

So please answer truthfully, will it..or will it not? And please know what you are talking about. (link)
of course it will. fewer calories in = weight loss. fewer calories in + more calories out = "easier weight loss" according to the "experts," but obviously everyone is different, and for some eating fewer calories is easier. skipping breakfast is hard because you're starving by lunch, and thus more likely to eat more later. you don't have this problem when skipping dinner. drink some tea. do some situps. heck, if you get too hungry to comfortably distract yourself, go to bed! then you can start the day over fresh, effectively distract yourself throughout the day with school/work, and therefore eat normal breakfasts and lunches. it makes perfect sense. don't be discouraged!
