my boyfriend used to smoke alot of weed his freshman and sophomore year (hes a senior now) he hasn't done it since but today he told me he did. when i told him that i didn't like it and he knows that he told me not to worry and that he won't become a pothead. but idk...like i don't want to be the pushy gf that yells at him for doing it...then he's gonna feel like he has to hide it from me...but idk i just don't want my boyfriend to do that then me having to kiss him...what should i do?

Weed is not as addictive as everyone says. It's been legalized as medicine in California, for goodness sake.


Hi. Okay so this is my problem.
I have a new boyfriend. But I love my exboyfriend, and he loves me. My exboyfriend has a cheating problem (he's cheated quite a lot). Finally, I told him I was done and I got a new boyfriend, who I really like, but not as much as my ex. My ex has been telling me that he never knew what it felt like to be put through what he's put me through, and now he's convinced that he's never gunna cheat again. I want to be with him, but I also don't wanna break my current boyfriend's heart. I really don't know what to do because I'm torn between the two of them. I'm scared that if I stay with my current boyfriend, I'll go through what I always end up going through with my ex where we just don't talk for months and I'm miserable until we start talking again. My current boyfriend is more loyal, but he also lies alot.. he's famous for telling girls what they want to hear instead of what's really happening (he told his last girlfriend he loved her when he really didn't). And he's really bad about like talking to me. We barely talk at all unless we're hanging out, otherwise we almost never talk on the phone or text or whatever. He's also really late all the time which I can't stand. I really don't know what to do. I love my ex, but I don't wanna go back to him just to get my heart broken again. He seems legit this time. But I also don't want to hurt my current boyfriend. What do I do? I'm 16 by the way, and they're both 16, if that helps anyone. (link)
I don't think you should give your ex another chance. I went through the exact same thing as you. I gave him a lot of chances, and he continued to cheat. You said that "he seems legit this time". Doesn't he always?


Ok so i'm going to get a monroe piercing sunday and im freaking out big time. i really want it and im not going to chicken out but i just want to know if its as bad as i think. so just let me know ur experience or whatever thanks a ton (link)
monroe and lip piercings are not painful at all. i've had my lip pierced twice and my friend got her monroe done. neither of us felt any pain.


i guess you could say im a sex addict, i do it for the pleasure i have yet recently in the past 4 months go a weekend with out it. Im only 17 and have had sex with ten guys, honestly i dont care what people have to say i just shrug it off like its no biggie and im being safe about it. im just wondering do any other girls feel the craving for sex a lot and if so how many guys have you slept with by the time you were 17? (link)
Everyone craves sex, just some people control those cravings and others don't. Male or female, young or old, almost everyone likes sex. So don't feel like a slut. If you want to have sex, then go have sex. Just remember to use protection.


hi, I was just wondering whether you could give me a little biy off advice. I have liked this guy for about 7months now we had a few flings and they didnt really go anywhere and now he seems too not be interested anymore i wrote him a letter explaining the way i feel. but now after the 7months im really to get over him its killing me that the fact i cant get over him. Do you got any good pointers you could tell me so i can get over him. I am 17 and his 18. My email is auzzie_babe74@hotmail.com write back to that please. (link)
I sent you an email. :)


is the almay black eyeliner a good black eyeliner


you like it? (link)
No.

If you're looking for black eyeliner, get Loreal or Maybelline.


I have this uncle, who had a divorce. Then he met this girl. He is 63. This girl is 23. I have no problem with age differences. But this has gone to far. That is somewhat 40 years. That is nasty. I understand 20, or less, but 40, come on. He defentily does not look 60. He broke up with her for a 22 year. Myt uncle disguests me. My whole familly has no problem. I want him to be happy, but that happy, is to me just plain wrong. He also is verrrrrrrrry rich. These girls seem to like his money.He doesn't notice or get hurt. I am tired of seeing a young woman, that is only 2,3, or 4 years older then my sister who's 20. They could be my isters. That so nasty. I need peoples opinion on young + old = love/like relationaships. (link)
Age, race, and religion mean nothing to me when it comes to relationships.

I don't see why you're so grossed out when it doesn't really concern you. You shouldn't judge other people because what you think means nothing to them.


ok guys wat is ur opinion of chics who have a tattoo? (link)
Honestly, in response to the other posts, I appreciate tattoos and piercings very much. It is a way of making your body unique.

Obviously, some tattoos are less attractive than others, but for the most part, they're fine by me. :]


A teacher this year, that taught me in a subject that wasn't my strongest, so I'd always coming for extra help after school, and naturally we got to know each other, but as the year came to an end, I started to realize that he was treating me different, I started to realize that sometimes he would flirt with me, but he really never did anything that made me feel weird or uncomfortable but after awhile, he started doing things, like making fun of little things I would do in class, or he would say, 'I love you, I just want you to know that.', or you will always have a special place in my heart. and when he saw me before graduation, he told me I looked beautiful, and said that this year has been a year he won't forget, because he feels that he has become a better person, teacher, everything because I opened his eyes to giving people an opportunity to succeed.The year was full of moments like that.

Now, I am starting to question how I feel about him, It's like he slowly seduced me all year? I just don't know if these 'feelings' between us are real? I graduated so I am no longer a student at school and I just don't know why all of a sudden, I find myself feeling this way. Its like as long as I was a student at the same school that he was my teacher I would never have even looked at him like that, but now, Its like things have changed, and I don't know what to think about the situation. He never bluntly asked me out or anything, but he did say at the end of the year that he did like me, and he hoped that any guy who dates me realizes how lucky they are.

I will be 19 next February, and he will be 25 this August. I know all of this must sound pretty stupid, but I just wanted to see what others thought, because sometimes people get caught up and don't see things clearly, and I am starting to wonder if this is just my mind playing tricks on me, or if maybe something is there. I do know that teacher/Student relationships are usually frowned upon, so thats why I felt so unclear as to what I should do next. Do I test the waters with him, or just forget him all together? Does any of this, even sound like he really has feelings for me?? Its sort of like, my heart tells me one thing, but the reality of the way people think makes me feel like I have to think otherwise.

What do you guys think about all of this?!?

(link)
Go for it! You obviously impacted his life in a positive way, and he has strong feelings for you as it is.

I think you should give him a chance and ask to meet up for coffee or something. If things don't work out between the two of you, then at least you know you tried, and you never have to see him again.

is the hair straightener chi really worth the money? (link)
No. I bought a chi and a GVP hair straightener. The chi was $130, the GVP was $70.

The GVP is much better at making my hair straight and it doesn't damage it as much as the chi.

They come in different colors, toooo. hehe.


15/m i don't know if i'm gay or not, but i'm sort of leaning towards being gay... i don't know what to do with myself.. i don't know if i should find someone and get things straight, or if i should wait for someone to show up... what should i do? (link)
I guess wait for someone to show up...

Don't be ashamed of it, either. Gay people are sexy.


so my bestfriend is Bi, i don't know how to act around her anymore.. write back (link)
Uhm, how about you accept her?

There's nothing wrong with gay and bisexual people. In fact, I honestly think they're hotter than straight people. :)


Please give me your opinion on male pubic hair.
Bushy, Trimmed, or Shaved? (link)
Trimmed.


Hi i just got my labrette pierced and i was wondering how soonafter am i allowed to take it out or to change the actual piercing (link)
I took mine out and changed the jewelry after 4 weeks. You should be able to change it out in 4 weeks if you use nonalcoholic mouthwash every day.


how bad does it hurt to get your lip piercing ? i know it depends from person to person, so if you have your lip & ears/tongue/bellybutton pierced, how much does it hurt in comparison ? (link)
I got my lip pierced two months ago, and it wasn't painful at all. It was uncomfortable, but it didn't hurt.

It hurts the most for the first 4-5 days afterwards. It hurts to make out and eat for a few days, but then all the soreness is gone. :)

Don't forget to use an ALCOHOL FREE mouthwash every day. If you use a mouthwash with alcohol (which I tried to do), your lip will be in more pain and it will take longer to heal.

You should be able to switch out lip rings in 4 weeks if you use mouthwash every day. They say wait 6-8 weeks, but I changed it in 3 weeks with no problems.

Hope I helped.


im 13 and bi.but i dont want people to no that.i want t apiercing on my face but i dont know where to get it without looking that gay.where should i get it (link)
Pierce whatever you want.

Lip piercings are hot as hell. So are eyebrow piercings. I don't like nose piercings on guys.

---

If you get your lip pierced, you should definitely get it pierced on your bottom lip.

You can get it pierced in the middle, on the left, or on the right.

My lip is pierced on my lower lip on the right side. I must say, I think it's really hot...:)


ok so people told me that all 3 of the presidential candidates are Christian but (not trying to offend anyone here) how can you be a Democrat and a Christian?? Democrats are for stem cell research (using developing babies for science!! thus killing them, etc.) and they are for abortion (basically murdering a baby) and they are ok with gay unions and marriages and such. i mean those things definitely go against God!! its right there in the Bible!! im NOT trying to offend im just truly puzzled by how they can support this when it is so clearly not the wish of God. thank you :) (link)
Honestly, religion and politics are completely different topics.

I'm a Christian democrat, and I support gay marriage 100%. Why? Because that is THEIR choice. If God decides to punish gay people for getting married, then whatever. I believe they should have a choice because MY religion should not impact OTHER people.

I support abortion, too. This doesn't mean that I like abortion. It means that women should be able to make that decision for themselves. Sure, most Christians might be against it, but it is not for the Christians to decide what every American should do.

Technically, divorce is against the bible, too. But Christians divorce all the time. Why can divorce be okay, but gay marriage cannot? They are BOTH against God, according to the bible.

Basically, what it boils down to is, yes, I'm a Christian, but I think other people should do whatever they want. Other people should not have to live according to my religious beliefs.

okay well i got my cartialge piercing done like i say 4 days again and i been cleaning it NON STOp with the thing they gave me to cleans.
the thing is that is a lil red it not like wen you tlak to someone and there like WOW yout ear is red its more like you look in the mirror and you notice it being red but most peole cant really see it but you can , also the back hurts a little bit more then the front is that normal? ALSO it hurts wen i move it sometimes like wen i moe it around to clean but i cna turn it and it wont just a bit. Is this all normal?? cause its been 4 days so i dont know PLEASE ANSWER! (link)
It's normal.

I got both of my cartilages pierced in December. They are sore for a very long time. It's March and it still hurts a little when I touch them.

The red color is normal, too. Don't clean them nonstop. Just once a day, or every other day is fine.

Keep turning the earrings with your fingers, even if it hurts.


hi friends, well i am very much confused about certain things and that is....though i like girls and do enjoy their company, yet at the same time i also happen to get attracted to boys and men i.e. of my gender. i believe i am a bisexual! but sometimes i do feel like i am a lady and i do fanatsize me being that. this really does embarass me. i don't know what to do. I am CONFUSED!??. kINDLY advice. (link)
I know exactly how you feel. I'm a bisexual guy and went through the same confusing things as you.

If you really and truly want to find out if you're bisexual, you need to date girls AND guys. Until you have an actual boyfriend to experiment with, you will always be confused.

Also, there's NOTHING wrong with being bisexual. Some people actually think it's cool. But just to let you know, there are a lot of stereotypes about bisexuals, like:
-bisexuals are slutty (not true)
-bisexuals are really gay, but don't want to admit it (not always true)
-bisexuals are confused (not always true)
-bisexuals say they're bisexual for attention (not true)

So you see, many negative stereotypes are attached to the word "bisexual". But you have to learn to ignore them. =]


Hey guys! So I was in walmart recently and I discovered wet to dry hair straighteners. I've seen ads in magazines for them before but they seem almost too good to be true. One of the two I found is called Wet 2 Style made by Remington for $25.47 and it looks like a normal straightener for dry hair. The other is called Infiniti Hair Designer by Conair for $49.94 and it looks like a comb with ceramic plates. I have several questions.

1. Is the more expensive one a better deal?

2. I dont want to have to use the wet 2 dry straightener and then have to go over it with my dry straightener. So, are Wet 2 Dry straighteners worth it?

3. I get phenominal results with my dry straightener. My hair is damaged yes from the heat but its very smooth and soft. Do wet 2 dry straighteners give the same effect?

Also if it matters my hair is thick, wavy, and frizzy. I had a chemical relaxer put on it back in June but it's still a bit frizzy. Basically I want to know if wet 2 dry straighteners are worth it and any experiences (good and bad) you all have had with them!

Thank You! (link)
Both straighteners are horrible at straightening hair. Conair and Remington are the worst flatiron companies out there.

It looks like you are willing to spend $50 on a straightener, so I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing a GVP (Generic Value Product) straightener from Sally Beauty Supply. It's only $50 this month, and it's as good as the CHI (that's pretty good!).

I've bought Conair, Remington, and GVP brand flatirons. GVP is by far the best brand. I ended up returning the Conair and Remington ones.

Typically, wet-to-straight flatirons do not straighten wet hair. They are just a waste of time.
