Q:
Hello
I am a 15 year old. I'll be 16 soon.
I have been having my period since Nov. 2004.
I've had it every month from the 19th to the 29th
This month i didn't get it.
It's never been this late.
I got all the cramps, and the upset stomachs before it.
It just never happend.
My mom didn't get hers either this month.
This is the 1st time it's happend.


I WILL rate high.
THanks

im 19 and i've had mine since i was 13- mine is pretty regular for about a year, maybe less, then all of the sudden it turns irregular for a while. Lots of things can trigger that, like hormones, puberty, dieting, excessive exercise, or stress. A lot of those things happen to people constantly, i wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Everyone is irregular sometimes. hope i helped!

Q: Iam 16 years old and I only wear a 36 A bra and my mom wears a triple D bra arn't I suppose to be bigger to?
If your close with your mom, ask her when hers got big. I was the same way- my mom is D too and I was a big until I was 18 and now Im a full C- it's all about genetics and time. Women might stop getting taller when theyre 16-18, but we dont stop developing until were in our mid twenties. if you take after your mom in most attributes, you'll probably take after her in chest size. Birth control also makes them huge- maybe when she started taking it, it made them bigger. It all depends on asking her.

Q: im kind of embaressed...but like, i masturbate and i think its gross and i know everyone says its not gross and its compltely natural and everyone does it and its not a big deal, but i cant help how i feel you know? but im trying to do it less like only once a week or something and (this sounds dumb) i told god that i would only once a week but it seems like i cant and i've done t like three times already and im worried im going to go to hell for lying to god...and i feel really stupid but i just wanted to ask someone...
aw sweetie you're not going to hell for that- it's very natural, and everyone does it. it's how we're made. masterbation isn't a sin. if you think about it, your body is just releasing natural urges that God made you with. Masterbation is a way to subside temptions for sex before marriage. Don't worry about a thing sweetie- just stay true to yourself

Q: what does the song "konstantine" by something corporate mean?
its about a complicated relationship, dealing with sex, companionship, and comfort.

Q: I technically can't "date" until I turn 16. I've had boyfriends before but not ones you actually go on single dates with and things like that. My parents are okay with that kind of thing, but what if a guy actually asks me out? What should I do then? Thanks!
Go on group dates with him and a bunch of friends. You wont be technically lying to your parents.. just look at it as a chance to hang out with a guy outside of school, not necessarily a date. hope i helped!

Q: 16 f. sophmore likes sophmore guy as well. never had a conversation with him. hell i doubt he knows i exist. but i still want to approach him.

1) He is scene or w/e and is quiet. he seems almost depressed. he just sits there at lunch with a friend or two and does nothing(though he is kind of popular) hes medium height. super skinny. pretty smile :]
2) i dont dress scene or goth or punk or ghetto or preppy so ive no clue wtf i am. im very shy. not too quiet but a lil quiet. short. im a lil chubby and i have a pretty face(like that matters all that matters are a hot body)

when i approach him what should i say?? could we ever be compatible? should i just give up all together? and how can i get him to notice me?
Sorry its long i rate 5's, thanx.
I know this sounds kinda lame, and everyone tells you to be yourself (which i completely support) but if you feel like he doesnt even notice your existance, i would do a little research on him.. find out his likes and dislikes. Say hi in the hallways, just so he knows your face. Try to overhear him talking or anything.. talk to him online- its easier than in person... and express his same likes and dislikes.. it sounds lame but it starts a conversation usually. JUst make sure you give it time, don't talk to him too much, etc.. hope i helped girl

Q: So my girlfriend and I have been going out for about a month now (we are 16 years old). She is a very open person and shares a lot with me, but I am not so open of a person. So always complains that I am not contributing enough to the conversation when ever I talk to her. I am not sky or anything around her, I am very confortable around her. I need some advice, how is a person suppost to open up to another person? I want to, I just don't know how. :'(
PLease help.
Cya when I see ya,
Hebasquash
Don't worry, it will happen when you're comfortable. Some people can easily speak what's on their mind. Just remember, opposites attract. You'll come around when you're ready. If you desperately need to soon, then i suggest trying to tell her an intimate secret or story from the past that you dont share with many people. Treating your girlfriend like a best friend is the best way to be open with her, because best friends share everything.
hope i helped

Q: I am a little on the shy and reserved side. I am a nice person and have a big heart. My problem is that I have a really hard time finding a nice bf. It seems like all the nice guys are taken. I'm not and never have been into casuel sex and one night stands. I want to have a permanent partner. How can I find a nice guy? I'm nearing 30 and I really wish I could get married and start a family. But I need to find the right guy first! Does anyone have any suggestions?
I think the best way to meet a nice guy is to go to nice and quiet places... such as the library, the park, etc. No one ever meets a genuinely nice guy in a bar or a club. Or a family member can set you up with a friend. Don't be scared to take the risk of a blind date, you never know until you try.

Q: i'm 15 years old & i haven't gotten my period for about two months. i've been having it since september 2004 & it's been sort of normal for about 8 months. i'm a virgin & i know this is going to sound extrememly juvenile but is there some way that i could be pregnant without having sex? as i said, i don't mean to sound juvenile but i've heard people say things like, "it's in the water" & is it actually possible? i'm just really nervous, & i'm racking my brain for an answer. could it just be that my period isn't on time? i haven't really been eating any differently. please don't treat me like an idiot, i'm just scared.
The answer is yes. But in your case, no. You can not get pregnant without sperm. If you havent been in contact with it, don't worry. I know this is scary. Since we know youre not pregnant, i would wait a little while longer. if it doesnt come, you need to tell you mom so you can go to the gyno. Simple problems can get serious if you don't get it checked out. Your period could just be a little irregular due to stress, etc.

hope i helped, dont be afraid to talk to your mom and dont wait too long to get checked out

Q: I Have been feeling depressed for almost a year now, and I have read nearly all the articles posted about depression, but none of them really help me. I took the first step of talking to a trusted adult, who was one of my former teachers. She tried to help me by calling my mom and referring me to different counselors. But this made my mom very angry. My mom refuses to let me see a counselor, and she is not allowing me to have contact with my teacher either. I don't understand why, but I think it's because my mom feels like I am placing blame on her for my issues. Now I feel so alone because I have no one to talk to. I want to call my teacher, but my mom would be very angry if she found out. What else is there left for me to do if counseling is not an option? I fear I will keep getting more and more depressed like I have been. Please respond to my question, I really need your help!
I know you don't want to go behind your mom's back but you realize that you're depressed and that you want help- that's the biggest step to take and not many people can admit that. you can't just ignore this.. I suggest you talk to the counsler at school- they're trained to do this. Ask your teacher at school if he/she can talk to the counsler first so it won't be too awkward talking to a stranger. I find it easier not to explain my problem, but to elaborate on it. Since we don't know why you're mom is acting this way, you owe it to yourself and your happiness to find help wherever you can get it. Good luck

Q: Alright,lets start out wit that I have a b/f back where I used to live and I go back there each weekend to see muh friends and him. We have only been together for like 3 weeks but yeah..Anyways, Theres this guy that I used to have some really strong feelings for like in middle school up until like 9th grade and then I moved so I never spoken or seen him so the feelings kinda faded. So last weekend me and 2 of muh friend go to 7*11 n him and 2 friend come in and ask if we wanna drink wit them. SO lata we all get together and ride around and drink and me and him were in the back of the van and I was layin on his lap and we kept lookin at eachother in the eyes for a long time and he kissed me finally after a while..and we juss did a lil makin out and he kiised muh neck..and he said WoW I cant believe it took us this long to hangout. He said this b/c we always have wanted to but are friend werent the same and all that stuff. So yeah we I guess u can say hooked up.But the thing is earlier that night muh "friend" said she was gonna talk to him aout whats up wit me n him and well when she was wit him she kissed him n shit..and i found that out earlier and called him and asked what the was bout and he told me..But my friend is always doin shit like that and always kissin up on guys that DO NOT WANT HER..shes nasty and a whore..SERIOUSLY!!! So im confused b/c I mean that was I guess weird for both of us and when they dropped us off I landed on the drive way and started cryin my eyes out. I waited for that moment FOREVER and I got it..but all those feelings came running back AND I cheated on someone for the FIRST TIME! I juss dont know whats up..I wanna chill wit him again but I dont wanna come off so forward to him and act like im obsessed or somethin cuz I was like that in middle school and I dont wanna be that Kinda person.I dont know how he feels bout it or even if he does..but hes a guy soo yeah know how that goes. I know I have a b/f but muh feelings arent strong like this to him as they are to the other guy.I dont know how to get by wit this or talk to him bout it or anything..I need all the adivce I can get. NOt negative advice but some good stuff..THANKYOU! PLEASE GET BACK TO ME SOON!!

Damn that was long.. OK.. first thing i would suggest is breaking up with your boyfriend. You must like this guy a lot to cheat with and therefore it isn't really fair to your boyfriend.. but i'm sure you already knew that. I think you should call up this new guy and make plans with him. If you don't, you'll only regret it later, so be bold you'll either get a yes or a no. And if he says yes, he must enjoy your company and maybe something could go from there. If he doesn't pick up, don't call back! leave a message, don't come off as desperate. You should play a little hard to get. And tell your friend to go to hell.. friends don't do that

Q: ya idk.. i just feel like shit and feel like dieng.... i am more depressed than ever... everyday it gets worse... and as time goes on i learn more and more that just makes me want to die even more... idk wat to do nemore... i just wish my life was over.... i cant stand it anymore, if i wasn't so doubtful i would be writing this...
I know this might sound stupid to you right now, but everything gets better. I don't know if you believe in God, but he wouldn't give you something you couldn't handle. Everyone has obstacles in their life and what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Ok so i'm done with the cliche's.. point is: live your life as best as you can.. don't die before you get to experience life at its greatest- and you will if you allow yourself. Just sit back and listen to some chill incubus or 311 and find a back door to your problems. Life rocks, experience it.

Q: What are some good party ideas for a girl who is turning 14 this summer, has friends that'd she like to invite aging from 12-16, and will have guys and gals at her party? I want to throw a really cool party for her, but I'm not sure where to begin. A Suprise Party is not an option, and we don't have a pool. I'd like something fun, original, and not boring. THanks for your ideas!
When I was 14, I had a hotel party and had a GREAT time. If she wants to invite guys also, have them come eat pizza in the room, go swimming in the indoor pool, and then they can leave around 11 or 12.. or whatever is cool with you. Then the girls can spend the night and have a great time. I'm almost 19 and I'll never forget that birthday.

Q: i have a small problem. i like sex. i like it alot. i almost feel i need it like air. i know its kinda like a drug, it can be addictive, but i dont care. im a male slut, bigtime. is there a sexaholics annonmous? i mean, i know love making is best...you know, when your dating or in love with someone, but it's like i wanna screw everything in sight! help!!
You're like every other guy on this planet. Just find yourself a hot nympho and go to town baby. Rock it.

Q: I've noticed that guys that like me *and vice-versa* are a lot older than me. I'm a Freshman in High School, and a lot of Seniors like me (including one guy who just graduated). I *would* go for any of those guys, but they're all over 18! Is it illegal to date a 18+ guy without having sex?
No it's not illegal to date someone that much older than you if you aren't having any sex. But c'mon.. why else would an 18+ yr old date a 14/15 yr old? To have intellectual conversations? NO, they only want one thing (maybe not at first, but it will come down to it).. so it's kind of pointless to even expect that your next relationship is going to be legal. But I always say, it's only illegal if you get caught.

Q: ok soo my face is fine in the mornign wheni get ready for schhool, but then by the end of school my face is soooooo oily, what can i do, besides pound more powder on, cuz i hate to wear a lot of make up, its jsut really shiny, and gross.. but yeah like i i ahte wearing tons of make up, i jsut wear anough to loook natural, and nothing works i've tryed translusent powder,a dn all taht and i do clay masks liek evry three days, what do yuo suggest?
Clinique makes a product called T Zone Shine Controller. You can put it on top or under your make up, so it's usable anytime of the day without having to wash your face again. It's an oil-free gel that controls shine, reduces the look of pores and leaves a natural finish. It dries up excess oil without over drying your skin. I use it all the time. Hope I helped! please rate

You could have an infection or a cist on your ovaries. Something is wrong up there and you need to find out. You should have went to the gyno 6 months ago. Don't wait any longer.. you can get cancer anytime

Q: therez this kid who i was involved w/ for lyke a month very physically he was going out with someone at the time but i was his unofficial gf who he talked to and did stuff with, and he promised he'd break up with her, then i come back after a weekend and he's broken up with her, and i expect him to ask me out, and some other girl's on his arm, i feel like ive been used and i should be pissed, so how should i ger back at him? no really i want to burn this jerk, he ignores me everyday and acts like we were never all over each other, how should i get revenge?
You need to tell him new girlfriend that he's cheating on her with you. And then tell his girlfriend that he just broke up with that he was cheating on her with you also. After busting him twice (even though one was a lie) girls won't even want to touch him or go near him. Make him look like the biggest creep. If the first girl doesn't believe you, have her on the phone, 3 way that guy and say shit like "You liked me when you were with HER why dont you talk to me anymore? remember all that stuff we did?" and his ex will hear his response and believe you. Rumors will start in no time. I'm not a big fan of revenge, but this is just too easy and I hate guys that use girls. Good luck, if you do this plan tell me how it goes.

Q: I am an 18 female and I find myself being attracted to other girls bodies. Not that i want to go and mess around with them, but i just enjoy looking at beautiful girls. Like most other girls, i don't have a problem kissing other girls and whatnot its really not a big deal depending on who it is. But I'm not sure if just because i'm a girl and i see a beautiful girl if the reason i am attracted is because i want to look like that or if it is because i could be bi? I've never messed around with another girl other then kissing, and i don't really see it happening but its not totally ruled out. Does this mean I am bi? please help
Totally normal, I'm 18 also and I do it all the time. Girls are a beautiful thing. And the fact that you don't have an interest in going further means you're not bi. Girls that are bi are confused lesbians in denial.. they WANT to have sex with girls. It would be like us looking at guys and fantasizing. Kissing girls is no big deal.. I've done it too and I don't completely rule out a sexual experience with a chick because I like to try everything once, it might be fun. But I would NEVER ever give up guys and if you feel the same way, then you're straight :)

Q: Okay, well, my ex girlfriend and I have always had an extremely skay relationship. Until a few weeks ago. We date off and on, and all of a sudden, we just like, stopped fighting. And I fell completely in love with her...
Well, I made her make a LiveJournal, because I thought it would help her vent out her problems, because she has a sort of hard life. Her parents like, seriously abuse her, and they might even hate her. So I thought it might help...
But then her best friend commented about how she cut them out of her life. And then she posted a conversation on there that my ex and her had about a week ago. Basically saying how I was a "fucking bitch who fucking bitches at her everyday because I'm such a bitch" and she's telling her friend that she wants to have some days apart and see if I'll come crawling back, because she thinks I'm that pathetic, and she tells them that I bitch at her everytime she hangs out with them...
Truth is, is that I bitch at her because she lies to me about them. I mean, I wouldn't care if she hung out with them or not, but the fact that she has to frikken lie about it is the thing that pisses me off. And another fact is that I tell her at least once a week to hang out with her friends. But she never does. She's so god damned clutchy and possessive (not to mention obsessive) over me. So really, she'd be the one crawling back to me...
So now, she's trying to make a complete 180. She says that she's stopped lying to everyone, and that she really wants me back (because, obviously, I dumped her ass), and that I mean the world to her and how she won't be able to function with out me. But I can't trust her. At all. I mean, the minute I fell in love with her, she backstabbed me. So I decided to give her another chance...
And then she tells me that she's going out with her friend to the mall. She hates the mall. She never goes ANYWHERE with me, let alone the mall. I mean, gah, she hates shopping. So it's like se's been lying to me about this whole thing. Either that, or just neglecting me completely...
So what I want to know is do you guys think I should try it again? Because she won't leave me alone about giving her another chance...

So what should I do?


Sorry it's so long :/
Woah kid that was long. Ok here's what I think:
She wants you to want her, badly. She's had a hard life growing up and if it seems as though her parents don't want her then she's obviously lacking attention. I know it's frustrating but try to be patient with her. She can't help it very well, she's craving to be loved. And sometimes when it doesn't work, people will resort to lying because negative attention is better than no attention at all. She says that she wants you to come crawling back because that means more attention for her- it would show her that you obviously want her a lot and she might need that. She's clingy and possesive/obsessive because she doesn't want to lose you (and you're obviously her only source of affection and attention) and although I'm sure she really loves and cares for you, she needs your love and care more than ever right now. you need to tell her more often and maybe give her a chance if she's really willing to change. you really need to be there for her. Hope I helped.. equally long huh?

PEACE
