me and my boyfriend had our last sex last May..i had my regular period on June but on July i didn't have my period yet and its 2 weeks late.Is there a possibility that i am pregnant despite the fact that i had my period last June? (link)
You're most likely not pregnant, however, I would recommend buying a pregnancy test just to make sure. I seriously doubt you are pregnant though, especially if you used a condom or another birth control method. Good luck!


13/f my best friend and i have know eachother for 3 years. We had two major fights that lasted atleast 1/2 a year each and i know her to well and i noticed shes changed. In the sixth grade we both made a promise to eachother as to not let eachother turn into a preppy know-it-all b***h. and now we dont talk as much as we used to and she started hanging out with the people she said she hated (preps) she tried to go anorexic too because she thought she was fat, and shes not even close to it, but i made her eat. Shes been really bitchy latly too. the other day we were texting and then she started saying how she was fat and i told her she wasnt fat at all. then she says well atleast i care about how i look unlike someone. and she was refering to me because im not one of those girls who spends 2 hours on hair, make-up and all that stuff, more like 30 minutes. Well she said sorry after and she made up the crapiest excuse ever and said that she was just moody and i know that she only says that when shes lieing to i have no idea what to do because i've tried talking to her and that just ended up with us yelling at eachother so please help me i dont want to lose my best friend (link)
Talk to her, tell her how you feel. She could be stressed about something. Make sure she knows you think she's awesome and stuff like that, but also make sure she treats you like she should and doesn't keep insulting you. Try and help her out and see if you can figure out if there's anything that's bothering her or if you can figure out what might be causing her to act so different. Good luck!


i no this question doesnt really fit this category but i hav msn and on a bunch of ppl's personal names tht deal w/ love hav a sign: 3 sum lik tht 1 of those 2 ive asked a bunch of ppl but WAT does it mean???

Delesha :) (link)
You mean this


okay so i have 2 best friends. a girl and a guy. me and my girl best friend are closer and we tell each other everything except i'm keeping a huge secret from her and i don't want to but i don't know how to tell her. the thing is that me and my guy best friend recently started a friends with benefits relationship that is moving quite quickly, we both like each other we're just not dating. and he just got dumped by his ex, who is also a good friend of the 3 of us. i haven't told my friend about my relationship because i know she'll ask when it started, and the truth is it started back when he was with his gf, and since she's a friend of ours im afraid it'll start a whole big thing. it's possible that i could just start off by telling her that i like my guy best friend and leave out the whole friends with benefits part of it but i know ill still feel guilty about not telling her because i know she tells me everything about her relationships. what should i do? this is really hard on me (link)
I'd say you should tell your friend because if she tells you everything it's kinda unfair for you not to tell her. If she finds out somehow without you telling her, it'll start an even bigger thing. Plus I'm sure if you ask her she'll make sure his ex never finds out, if you're worried at all about that.


okay well me and my boyfriend (both 13 but he's in 8th grade and i'm in 7th) but we go to the same school. this is our 7th time going out in like 2 years. the last time we broke up, i broke up with him because we didn't talk at school at all. and barely online, and never on the phone or anything. that was back in october and we got back together in march this year. he was great to me. always calling and texting me, always askign to hang out and staying up late on line or on the phone with me, skipping games of poker and stuff to be with me, taking me with him to his grandmother's to meet all his aunts and uncles and grandparents and cousins and everyone and most of them live on the other side of the US. it was great. he always talked to me at school, and sat with me at lunch, and break and came to find me in the halls before classes and gave me hugs and stuff. and even before we started going out, late at night when we'd be on the phone, and i'd ask to go to bed, he would be like " you don't have to say this back, but i love you so much" and stuff. and it made me really happy. but last weeek we got report cards and his parents are really nice and stuff but are pretty strict and he got everything like 96 and 93 and stuff except one class he got a 66 and now he's grounded til next report cards. he's not allowed on the phone, texting, computer, biking, hanging out or anything. and now, he doesn't talk to me barely at school. like once a day. and he always sits with these other girls that he's really good friends with ( it doesn't bother me though because i'm best friends with one of them's little brothers and stuff and they are nice to me and seem to like me so it doesn't bother me ) but he doesn't talk to me which does. he knows the only time we can talk is at school but he doesn't use that it seems. i want to break up with him and kind of show him what i think and stuff. i mean, yes i love him so much ( you may not think so, but i do) i want to be nice about it and stuff and kinda just let him know that i want to date and stuff, but its hard when we don't even tallk. how can i do this? i apologize for this being so long. any advice is very much appreciated. thanks! (link)
Give it one or two more weeks, and if it doesn't get better break up with him. Find a time during school like at lunch or right after school if you have time, but make sure it's a time when you'll have enough time to talk to him about why and stuff. Then just tell him kindly that you really like being around him, and you love him, but that you want to actually be able to talk to him. If he understands, that's great; if he doesn't, consider taking a break until you think your relationship might have a better chance of working. Good luck!


how do i boost my self-asteem? i've been working out-which helps a lot. But what else?

please&&thankyou (link)
Find things you love to do, like a hobby or something like that. Also, spend time with a friend who makes you feel really good about yourself and who you always have fun with and hang out with him/her a lot. This might seem sorta strange, but one thing that really helped me was when I totally cleaned out my room and I just spent hours in my room cleaning and it was actually really helpful. Take pride in your appearance-that helps too, look good even if you're not going anywhere.


What are hopeless romantics? (link)
Hopeless romantics are people who totally love things like flowers, boxes of chocolates, candlelit dinners, stuff like that. They're the sort of people who believe in love at first sight, and true love and all of that and they never give up on what they believe is "true love."

Ok there is a friend of mine that I see only when my friends and I go dancing because it is far away. I like him alot but not sure what he thinks. He does the riska dancing with my friend, but When there is slow dancing he always asks me to dance. we talk online and the other day he was telling me about the play he was in and giving me all the dates and times of the show. But not ever asking me if I would come directly. Is this his way of hinting that he wants me to be there? Also are there or could there be any other signs tht he has an interest? Or how can I create some? I would love ALT of opinions on this matter. Thank you!! (link)
He definitely wants you there, the only reason he's not asking you directly is because he's afraid of rejection. First, you should show him you're interested by coming to his show. Also, look to see if he flirts with you, acts differently towards you than to other girls (which it sounds like he does!), or if you can catch him watching you when he doesn't think you're looking at him. Try looking at him till you catch his eye, then smile and after a couple seconds look away. Good luck!


15/f. i'm not even going to post my weight because i know its in the healthy BMI range and then you guys will just tell me that i don't need to lose weight. and i know i don't need to lose weight, that isn't my question. my quesiton is that even know i'm at a healthy weight range and i know that i'm pretty slim, i still have a little fat near my stomach especially around and below my belly button. and i'm so frustrated because i've been doing over 100 crunches a day, and i run on my treadmill a lot and its still there! for the most part i try to eat healthy, but i know i don't always eat healthy.

also how bad is diet soda for you? because i drink one almost everyday and i want to know how bad it is for me and if i should stop.

thanks! (link)
When you're a teenager, it's normal to have a little body fat. In fact, your body needs a little fat to work right. But if you think you should lose some weight or that fat, then yes, you should cut down on the diet soda. But you don't have to give it up completely. It definitely makes a difference, I know my aunt used to drink 2 cans of diet Coke every day and when she stopped she lost 10 pounds. So if you want to lose the fat on your stomach you should cut down on diet soda.


14/m i'm not to confident around girls and i havent had a girlfriend or asked a girl out before because of it and there is no girls at my school that are single and well does anyone have ideas on geting more confident? and where should i go to ask girls out? (link)
Just be yourself, and talk to some girls. Make polite conversation and work up to more. Also, be funny but don't try too hard. Girls like it when guys can make them laugh. Just be her friend, and once you think it's a good time ask her out. As for where, you don't need to go anywhere special, just come up to her after school or some time like that and ask her out. If she says no, she's not worth your time, but chances are she'll say yes. Good luck!


what does it mean when someone describes someone else as refined? (link)
Refined basically means cultured, elegant, and well-mannered. It also means having good manners and being polite. Sorta like basic etiquette.


OK so I've been dating this guy for a year and I'm totally crazy about him but I'm his first girlfriend and I've dated 2 guys in the past. One of them I dated on and off for almost 2 1/2 years and we are still really good friends. I've only kissed my bf, not like madeout or ne thing but my old b/f and me made out a bunch of times. My best friend thinks I am being dishonest by not telling my new bf about what me and my x have done but he's never asked and it's never been a problem so I don't see why he needs know. Question: am I being dishonest and does my new bf have the right to know or should I leave it because it's in the past? (link)
You're not being dishonest at all; as long as he hasn't asked about it, you don't have a reason to tell him. Just make sure that you're honest if he specifically asks about your past boyfriend, because if you don't tell the truth then that's being dishonest. Don't worry, if he brings it up then tell him and he shouldn't have a problem with it, and if he doesn't ask then just leave it in the past. Good luck!


my dachshund has a white wisker already abd hes only 5 or 6. is it normal for them to get white whiskers/hair this early???????? (link)
Yeah, don't worry about it it's perfectly normal. The color whiskers and that is basically genetic, so it just means there's a white whisker trait somewhere in his family. It's nothing to worry about.


Does everyone always suck the first time you make out? And can you tell that it's someone's first time makeing out? (like if someone who hadnt made out before, made out with someone who had)

Thanks so much!! (link)
No, some people are just better at it than others. So you can't always tell, it depends. Also some people have different techniques.


Yesterday, I went to the mall with my Mom. I found a really cute skirt, and a top. When I tried it on, my mom insisted that "they were too tight." This happens ALL the time when we go shopping. Every time I try something on, my mom says, "No, its too tight" or "I think you need a bigger size," when I really don't. Something could fit just fine, and she would still insist that it is too small.

So the other day, I started crying, because she never likes ANYTHING that I try on. Then she asked me what was wrong, and I said, "Apparently I'm fat!" And she goes, "Oh no, you're not fat. The clothes just run small."

Mind you, I am a pants size 0, and I weigh 88 pounds. When I was younger, I used to be kind of chubby. I don't know why my mom does this- I'm trying to decide if it's because I really do look fat, or if its because she thinks I look good and doesn't want me to wear tight/revealing clothes. I am very upset, and lately I've been feeling like I don't want to eat. I decided to give up candy, and I fear becoming anorexic. Yet my mom, (who is not thin) continues to encourage me to eat candy.

Should I say something the next time she does this? I am getting really pissed off, and I feel like shouting, "You're just jealous because I'm not fat like you!" at her. (link)
Don't worry, I'm sure you're beautiful just the way you are. Don't worry about being fat, your mom might be worried about clothes being too revealing or she might not like the styles that are popular today because of how they are meant to fit. Try calmly and rationally telling your mom that you think you can pick out your own clothes and see how she responds. Good luck!


14/f. I have a hairy stomache. I thought this was normal untill my one friend said something to me. Theres like blonde hairs on my stomache, its not that noticable, but it is somewhat. Is this okay? If not what is wrong with me? (link)
It's perfectly normal, most girls have a little hair on their stomach. If it's light blond, it's probably not going to be noticable at all unless someone looks really closely, but you might want to shave it if you wear a bikini or something like that and it's making you feel self-conscious.


is it impossible to make out if both people have braces? (link)
No, it's perfectly possible. Just don't smash your teeth into each other's really hard or anything like that. Don't worry though, unless you two press your teeth into each other's and really sorta grind them together they won't get stuck.


what's the best shampoo and conditioner in your opinion? (link)
Personally, I love all the Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners. You can pick which one you want based on your hair type, like straight or curly or dry or oily or anything like that. They all smell really good and if you leave the conditioner in for about 3 minutes in the shower it makes your hair really really soft. You can get them at most drugstores and they're like $3 each.


13/f
ok well I really really really like this guy. I'm not going to see him (on a regular basis, like i mgiht run into him once or twice) until july. Also, he's a few years older than me and it probably won't turn into anything.
I also like this other guy. He's my age and we're pretty good friends, but he's like IN LOVE with this other girl, and i'm really not his type anyway.
Which one should i go after?
How should i go after them?
Thanks! (link)
Definitely don't go after the first guy, it's not worth your time. It sounds like realistically there's not much of a chance with him, because he's older and most guys a couple years older are only interested in younger girls for anything other than sex or stuff like that. If you think you have a chance with the second guy, go for it! Just make sure you don't mess up your friendship by trying to hard. Flirt a little, talk to him a lot, and if he responds positively keep going. If it doesn't look like it's going anywhere after a while give up on him and find someone worth your time. Good luck!


I have been with my boyfriend for a year now. It was great at first. We agrue all the time now and he gets on nerves all the time. Every little thing he does gets on my nerves. I love him and i want to be with him but i am not sure what is going on, He says that its just me, and he thinks that nothing is wrong with our relationship. Please help me. (link)
You should talk to him and tell him you think that it might be more than your imagination. If he won't listen to you or if it doesn't get any better, break up with him. If it's meant to be it'll happen naturally and you won't have any doubts.
