whats the point of soap? its scrubbing hands together that is important, isnt it? (link)
we use soap to kill the germs and bacteria that are on our hands. this stops us from becoming sick and spreading infections and diseases.

just scrubbing your hands together with water will get off the visible dirt and grime on your hands but it wont kill the bacteria.

soap is very important, please use it! :)


okay so im 14 and i havnt had my period for about 2 months, i got my first one when i was about 11 and ever since then i've had it but recently for some reason i havnt and its kind of worrying me, no im not pregnant if thats what your thinking as im still a virgin, im not fat but im not skinny either. can anyone help please!! ? (link)
hey this is perfectly normal. i got my periods when i was 12 and ever since then they have always been iregular, just last year i would get them every 2-3 months. but now that i have a boyfriend i have gone on the pill and since then i get them every month now.

iregular periods are normal it takes time maybe even years to get your periods regular, some people just dont get them regular though. its different for everyone. if your really worried you should talk to your mum about getting a check up at the doctors just to eas your mind.

they could be something wrong but there is a slim chance of that so dont stress about it. :) xx sal


I live with my grandparents. My friend and I have been friends since kindergarten. Well I promised her that I would go to summer school. But Then my grandpa died. My friend is like a part of the family my whole family knows her so it affected her too. Well when summer school came she asked me if I was going but I told her that I'm not going to summer school because then my grandma would be alone. She was like " But you promised!" Then she hung up. This was like a couple days ago. We just got over a fight too. Now every time I call she won't pick up and I leave messages but she still wont call. How do I get her to at least talk to me? (link)
of corse she cares, everyone has a different way of dealing with death and this may be her way to deal with it. she is probably finding it hard and thought that you two going away to summer camp together was her get away, her chance to try and forget or get over what has happened. and to do this with someone who is feeling the same way as her. she is probably upset with you because she feels like she is going away to summer camp to deal with it on her own.

i think you have chosen the write thing by staying by your grandma, she is family and she needs you at a time like this. i know that your friend needs you too at a time like this and its always hard to chose the right thing to do but my advice is that family comes first.

its clear that they both need you but you really need to go and talk face to face with your friend and explain to her why you have chosen to stay with your grandma, she will understand and maybe you two can spend some quality time together before she goes away to summer camp and you guys can write and call each other while she is away.

stay strong.. hope this advice really helps you xx


I want a tattoo. I want it to mean something. I've been through a lot of things in life and all my friends think I'm a very emotionally strong person. I dnt want any stars, hearts, or flowers. I don't want it to be that visible because of work. I'm a female by the way. Thanks in advance :) (link)
its got to be something that means something to you in person, no one can really tell you what to get, what about words?
has any one given you advice that has stayed with you or a word that has gotten you through your life stresses? or maybe there is a symbol you have always like and that you treasure a lot?
but i cant tell you what to get because i dont know you, why dont you ask your friends what they think, the ones that have been with you through the hard times. you could always get something that means strength.. maybe above an animal that you think is fierce or strong.

for example...
i want to get a tattoo and i have decided to get 'love friendship sisters' on my wrist in italian, this means a lot to me because im italian and i think its a beautiful language and also iv been through a lot with my two sisters and they both are getting the same tattoo. so it will be something we can share forever.

hope i helped.


This guy and I had been pretty close best friends for 3 years. He was leaving out of state and it was hard to say goodbye. We said our goodbyes, and then a week later i find out that he hadn't left!!! I was thinkin, what he fu**? Are you kidding me? So he had been hiding the fact that he hadn't left. I felt so used. I felt like wow, you tricked me into thinking that you liked me and having me tell you how much i liked you by saying you are leaving? that is some fkd up sht....when i confronted him about the situation, the boy was freaking out. He felt very bad about it....to the point where he was about to cry. He said that he had been planning to surprise me for my birthday, but the thing is he didn't say a word to me on my birthday!!!He forgot about it!!!! He said he had called me but my phone was off, true, there was a time when it was off...but i'm sure thats not the reason why he called...he had called to find out if my best friend's friend was still having her party with me. The thing that makes me not believe a word he says is because He felt so bad about it. I feel like he had been lying to me about so many things, and when i caught him, he felt bad. He didn't want me to see his real side so thats why he kept apologizing and trying to cover up for the shit he did. What do you guys think? am i on the right path? (link)
i think your on the right path, but for him to lie to you about something as big as leaving, thats a bit weird even if he was "going" to tell you on your birthday.

you said that you found out that he didnt leave so why didnt he tell you..
you need to ask yourself:
-was it cos he didnt want to see you for a while?
-why did he lie about this in the first place?
-when was he planning on telling you that he didnt leave?
-and how long was he planning on going without you knowing he didnt leave?

he was probably only freaking out cos he got caught and didnt have an excuse for you so he panicked. i dont think that was a nice trick to play on you or anyone for that matter..
doesnt it make you feel like he doesnt want you in his life cos he lied to you to get you out of it. this boy just does seem like an ASS! and you deserve better then that! if this happened to me i wouldnt waste my time on him anymore.
to me it doesnt seem like he wants to be your friend anymore.

hope i helped. lol [sorry its so long]



So I'm ready to ask this girl out, we're friends, and we've been talking a lot lately. Here is more or less what I plan to say, is this good at all? Give me specific suggestions please.

"I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you better over the past couple months, and I feel like we’ve become pretty close since we’ve been talking everyday. To be honest, I am realizing that I’m starting to fall for you and your awesome personality. Basically I would like to know where you think you see this going between us, because I know where I would like to see it go." (link)
this is really good... i can tell your being honest and thats what a girl wants from a guy
-honesty. just tell her what you like about her and dont hold back.

i think you should just go for it, there's not much i can add to what your going to say because you'v pretty much said it all.. apart from the ovious 'will you go out with me' part of the convosation but im sure you'll get there.

goodluck xxx


i am 13 an latley i have been watchin alot of shows on the t.v about pregnancy it sounds strange i no but i would really like a baby now but i wouldnt if you no wot i mean i wouldnt wont one as i am 13 and still live with mom but i would because it would make me feel like i had something of my own to love i dont wont to tell my mom this because im scared she will just have ago at me and wont understand (link)
hey this is perfectly naural.. i think every girl goes through this at one stage.
why dont you consider getting a puppy?? your own puppy. you can train him and teach him to love you:) i think this is exactly what you need and what your looking for.

you'll have someone your own to love. Im pretty sure your parents will agree, instead of you having a baby. you can get different pet i just think a dog is the most affectionet and a dog can love you back unlike a cat or a rabbit.

[[if you already have a dog or a pet then then try to treat him as your own]]

hope i helped! xxx


Sunday is my best friend's daughter's birthday party. I'm her daughter's godmother, so she invited me & my boyfriend. I'd love to go, but the only problem is her boyfriend might be there. We used to be good friends with him, but there was a bunch of drama a while back so now me & my boyfriend really don't get along with him.

Do you think we should go to the party, or should we stay home to avoid any possible drama? (link)
Hey. go to the party. it seems important to you or you wouldnt be asking this question. just keep your distance from him and it should be ok.if he tries to start anything just walk away.

be the mature one and dont fight with him cos you'll only upset your daughters friend and spoil her party. xxsal


Last year, my heart skipped a beat every other day ish.


But now, it's a daily thing.

And it's scaring me.



Can anyone tell me if this is danerous?

What do I need to do?

HELP?! (link)
hey i think its time to go to the doctors about this. thats the best way to find out the reason for this. but dont worry so much until you find out the reason for this.

it could be serious but it might not be, you never know until you get a medical opinion.
xxsal


is it okay to not want people to go to your house?
cuz i always go to my friends houses.
do they want to come here? (link)
hey thats perfectly normal. a lot of people are like that because there house is messy or they just simply refer to get out of the house and hang somewhere else.

they might want to come over your house but if you'v never mentioned it they might feel awkward about saying anything about it. also people feel rufe inviting themselves over.

talk to them about it. if you dont want them over just tell them that and that it has nothing to do with them. but if you want them to come over invite them. xxsal


okay well. i keep making excuses for a guy that wants to come over.
i think he has a girlfriend.
i dont think he should come over if he has a girlfriend.
but im nervous if he doesnt have one.
help!
i cant keep making up excuses.
its makin me feel really bad. (link)
just ask him if he has a girlfriend or not... cos if he doesnt he sounds interested in getting to know you and eventually he'll stop asking to hang out.

when your chatting at school and he asks to come over just causually say "do you think your girlfriend would mind?" see what he says. you'll probably call him off guard but you need to know before your friendship goes any further. xxsal


is this normal? (link)
this is perfectly normal so dont stress! your periods take a few years to eregulate. its different for everyone though. i've had my periods for 7 years and there still not regular,, i know its crazy but thats what being a girl means..you just have to put up with it.

hope i helped xx


can someone help me with some band names like what to call a new one .. thanks in advance. (link)

-overrated
-the fear
-black rain (this one sounds cool!)

Im 15 female and virgin. i heard that the first time u have sex it hurts! well if u pop Your cherry would it hurt less your first time? and what would be the safest way to pop it? using a tampon??? (link)
a tampon isnt going to do anything. poping your cherry can happen any time... by riding your bike and going over a big bump that hurts your vag or even horse riding. but sex will hurt weather your hymen is broken or not because your vag is tight and and having sex stretches it because of the thickness of the male penis.
so dont worry about it. it will happen when you have sex.


I dont know how to flirt at all.
i need help.
and part of that makes me not know how to talk with guys. please help me learn how to flirt. tell me what i need to do.
(link)
just be interested in what the guy has to say and what they'v been up to. laugh and smile A LOT, find any excuse to touch his hand or sholder ect.
try and talk a lot, twirls your hair.

tip:wear eye makeup so when he looks at your eyes they stand out and he is drawn to them.. mascar, eyeliner but not eye shadow because it will be too much.

goodluck:) xxxsal


im super super shy and i cant help it.
it ruins everything. my face gets beat red. and i start like idk stumbling over stupid words. and i just get sick of it.
i get all nervous. adn i never no what to say. can someone please help me to overcome my shyness, im 15 by the way. (link)
Hey i used to have the same problem! i used to be REALLY shy.you just need to be comfortable around your classmates and friends.
Dont be scared to vioce your option, i know its hard when your shy but trust me people wont talk to you much if your shy unless you talk to them first, iv experienced that! it sucks.

Start by saying hi to whoever your sitting next to and just get used to talking to them first. just say whats on your mind and dont hold back.
once you'v got that, it will be easier to talk in front of a group of friends.

its hard being shy when no one talks to you cos your quiet and they dont know you. once they get to know you, you'll make friends in no time.

start by saying HI.. thats all it takes! once you get used to talking to people the nerves will go away=] xxxxsally


What makes you want to open up to someone? (link)
well when i start to get close to someone i get comfortable around them and begin to trust them and then open up to them with out noticing... telling them things i wouldnt normally tell many people...

there are heaps of reasons i open up to people.. like when im going through something and dont understand it or dont know what do to i seek advice from friends and to talk to them about it which is opening up to them. generally i open up to others because i know i can trust them with my life and that they will always love me no matter what.

when you open up to someone your showing them your true self and trusting them with your thoughts and secrets... hope i help xx sally=]


what does it really mean to "open up" to someone? is it just telling them your secret? why does some people someone open up to someone even though they havent known eachother for long?
(link)
opening up to someone is to be yourself around them and bot be afraid to tell them what your thinking... its when your more comfortable around them and you can talk about anything with them. its pretty much when you fully trust someone to tell them your secrets you could say.

people can open up to others they havnt known for long if they click really well and just get along really well... they may find each other easy to talk to and connect with each other really well. it doesnt really matter how long you know someone just how well you connect with them.

it happened with me but i didnt talk to this girl for ages and then we finally talked and clicked straight away we became best friends very fast and my other friend didnt like her and asked me why i was good friends with her all of a sudden when i never used to talk to her...
see it doesnt matter how long you know someone it just happens and its a good way to fiund true friends...
hope that helps xx sal xx


does anyone have any stories or tips on weight loss? im not fat but i wanted to loose about 5-20 pounds before summer and was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints or motivations. thanks! (link)
hey you dont need to go on a crash diet to lose weight thats the worst way i think... just think about cutting down your food intake and go for more healthier options like fruit and veg... look up some healthy snack recipes because this will make you want to eat healthy and not get bored of eating healthy because you will try different and interesting stuff.

for excercise just think of it as having fun with friends by riding your bike or walking together.. try to walk your dog everyday because even though walking is just walking it is really good for you and will get you fit..

find something you enjoy thats active and stick with it because that will motivate you more to excercise. i know that im not the kind of girl that likes to slog it out in the gym but i do circus 3 times a week that is equivilent to going to the gym and for me its more fun and rewarding cos im with friends...

the key is to find something you love to do and stick with that for exercise...it will motivate you more also cos your not thinking of it as exercise... anyways good luck =] xxxxx sally


Okay, so i followed your original addvice and i was trying to just be my self, and i met a guy in my gym class who i really like, and my best friend thinks he likes me becase of the way he treats and talks to me. The new problem is i dont wanna ask him if he like me, because if he doesnt that would be akward, but if he does like me i want to ask him out. But i dont know if i should ask him or let him make a move. What do you think? (link)
aww yay=] this is the hard part trying to figure out what he is thinking...

there are a few things you can do if you want to let him make a move first like
get your best friend to causally ask him if he likes you when your not around but without making it oviouse or say to him "we should hang out sometime" thats way you can see if he wants to see you outside of school.

you wont know unless you try and it might just turn out that he is too shy to make the first move and he could be waiting for you to do it first... i think if he takes to long to make a move then you should ask him, but if you dont want to do that straight up why dont you and a bunch of friends go to the movies and you can ask him if he wants to come... thats a good way with out asking him directly and make sure you sit next to him at the movies.

i hope this helps you... goodluck=] xxsally
