umm what goes 69 mean? and what does BTW mean? is there a website that has what everything means? like yeah..... first few people to give GREAT advice....... ill rate high and the others also but lol idk.

to clear up what someone said earlier, 69 is a sex position. star sixty nine, or *69 is a number you can call to redial the last person that called you or something to that effect. for explainations on other AIM acronyms, you recieved some very helpful sites already. for help educating yourself on slang terms for sex and drugs and all that good stuff (ha!) you can try www.urbandictionary.com . hope i helped

After about 10 minutes into a shower i'll start to get dizzy, my head will hurt, my vision fades, and i seriously feel like im gonna be sick. this has happened to me a few times in the past off and on but now its becoming ritual (and its only when i shower). its so bad that i'm not even able to finish showering. does anyone know what's going on and does this happen to anyone else? i've tryed opening windows and changing my products but nothing helps. i'm at the point where i'm seriously afraid to shower lol... i'll take any advice i can get, thanks

you've gotten a lot of advice, and they're all pretty much right. those sound like side effects of being overheated. the best thing to do is to turn the water a little bit colder (it doesn't have to be cold, just warm rather than hot) and it also helps a lot to turn on the little fan thing in your bathroom to keep the air circulating and to remove some of the steam that's overheating you. if you start feeling that way again, open the door and sit down and see if it goes away. if you start feeling better, you can continue your shower, just make sure to leave the door cracked or something so you don't get overheated again. if you don't feel any better, get out of the shower and lay down under a ceiling fan until you feel better and try to drink water. you can get overheated much faster when you're dehydrated, so try to drink plenty of water during the day. hope i helped

i don't know that its exactly healthy but i was wondering if there is anything else (like a household item) that i can use that would work kinda like a dildo or a vibrator? i mean it doesnt have to move or anything...just feel good. cuz my parents would freak if they found a dildo or vibrator. is it unhealthy to use anything else? can i sterilize other stuff? if so, how?

well, i don't actually masterbate...but i think a wonderful idea might be the venus vibrance razors (hehe...not the razor itself, but if you detatch the blade, and push the button to cause it to vibrate...its pretty much a little vibrator! right?) personally i'd put a condom over it before using it just in case you get a little rough with it and the batteries came out or something...i'm not sure i'd want to be faced with that situation. but in theory, it sounds like a good idea to me. good luck on your search! hope i helped

I was wondering is there anyone out there who has ever gotten pregnant while on birth control..see im wondering if my birth control is even working right for me because the past 2 months i had my period for 2 weeks instead of one and this week i missed the first week now im scared that im pregnant !! Help!!!

i have a friend who's parents were using both the pill and a condom when she was concieved...i'm sure the odds of that happening are microscopic, but it happens. however, what it sounds like from your question is more of the pills not being taken correctly, or your body reacting negatively to them. i'd ask your doctor and see if you need to change brands of pills, or if you're just not taking them correctly. hope i helped!

Hey! I'm 130 pounds,and 5'3,and i was wondering is this too fat? Well, some people say i'm not fat,but maybe they just say it too be nice,but i don't know.I sometimes see my self kinda'of fat in the mirrow,but there are days that and don't.it's maybe the clothes i wear.I don't have a big belly. Just kinds large thighs,and butt.Thanx for reading this.And hope yall give good advice.
Brenda

it all just depends on your build. i'm about 5'3" and i have a best friend who is almost exactly my height. i'm 90 lbs and she's 130 and neither of us seem too thin or too fat. she's just built differently than i am and both of our weights work for our body types. if your weight isn't hurting your self confidence, causing you to be self concious around friends or playing sports, or affecting your health. then you should stop worrying about it right away and just be happy with yourself. if you are affected negatively by your weight, then you should still be happy with yourself of course, but you could consider asking your doctor about a diet plan or exercise plan to help you trim away a few excess pounds. hope i helped!

Do you think that it is wrong to talk to an ex while dating someone else? I am with this guy right now and he doesnt trust me so he went into my cell and checked my text messages and found that an ex had been text messaging me. We are in a big arguement now about weather or not its ok to talk to an ex. Please help

i know you've already gotten a lot of great answers, but i jsut wanted to let you know that i just broke up with someone like that. if you want to be friends with your ex, and your boyfriend is controlling you and telling you who you can and can't be friends with...you're never going to be happy. this situation will only lead to more arguements, and later he will probably find more things he wants you to start or stop doing. you need someone who can trust you and not want you to lose friends for him. sure everyone is jealous sometimes, but if he doesn't trust you, and gets angry at you for talking to your ex's, you're better off without him. there is no respect without trust, and no love without respect. hope i helped.

i have wavy hair that is a little past my shoulders ..it only takes me about a half hour to straighten my hair using my straightening iron (helen of troy) my hair stays straight for a little while, but then it starts to get a little wavy afterwards ..and this happens all the time ..i dont think its cause from sweat, becuase i dont sweat alot, but idk why it does that ..my hair is also layered and the top layers NEVER stay straight for a long time ..i use hairspray in it sometimes to try to keep it straight but it dosnt seem to work ..does anybody have any advice on what i can do to keep my hair straight? thanks! i rate high (:

try all those products...find your favorite. then if it still doesn't work, either embrace the wave and go for a wavy or curly style, or cut your layers off and make your hair all the same length. layering is a huge part of your problem and i'm suprised no one else mentioned it (unless i just overlooked it). i know you might love your layers, and if you find one of the many products listed below works for you, then that's fantastic. however, if they don't seem to work, you can go get a haircut, and ask your stylist whether she thinks you should bring your layers together to make straightening easier, or if you should find a product to give you more waves. everyone has straight hair, if you can get great waves then go for that! it saves a ton of time, and looks really cute. hope i helped

ok well when somthing sudden happens or if the spot light is put on me my face turns bright red..and i can't help it. This started happening like 2-3 weeks ago. What shoud I do. I hate it...it'a happened to me like 10 times a day, even if i'm jus around my friends. What is this and how do I get rid of it. Thanks!

well, i can definitely relate. i blush at just about everything. a lot of times this is just a side effect of puberty. if you are a girl, its very likely that the blushing is worse, or comes more often as you get closer to that time of the month, because your hormones are going crazy. if you're very concerned about the blushing, you can visit the sites listed for you by mackenzie, and find more sites on your own by googling blushing, embarrassment, or even hyperhydrosis (because often times excessive sweating and blushing go hand in hand, you can sometimes find additional information about blushing on these sites). if you feel its necessary, you can ask your doctor about the blushing. however, i would just advise you to think about the blushing as little as possible and not worry about it. blushing is cute, and the more you think about it, the more you will do it. from what you said, it sounds like being nervous or self concious is what causes you to blush (which is generally the case), so naturally, if you're self concious about the blushing, it will last longer than if you just take a few deep breaths and don't worry about it. hope i helped!

when having sex with my boyfriend after a few mins my vagina starts hurting like sometimes I have to ask him to stop, I've been checked for STDs and I do not have any but sex is still very painful sometimes, what could it be?

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=328411

there's where i answered a similar question. there are many possibilities such as you being too small to accomodate his penis, or not enough lubrication. i would assume one of those would be the case as they're the most common, but for more possibilities, please read my answer to the question in the link above. hope i helped!

does noxema help the pimple scars go away? if they dont, what are some stuff that helps the pimple scars go away ?

noxema's something i try to stay away from at all cost, but that's just me. pimple scars are just like any other scar and will fade with time and scar medications, but probably not your face wash. the best thing for pimple scars, is to avoid them by properly taking care of blimishes when the arise. put medications such as Clean and Clear maximum strength invisible blemish treatment or other medications with ingredients such as salicylic acid, which help heal the pimple and reduce the appearance of scars. also avoid touching the blimish and definitely don't pop or pick at it, because that will cause scarring. i'm sorry i couldn't help you more with fading the scars after they form, but i'm not sure of anything other than medications like mederma for scars. hope i was of some help

whats a way to get your hair really shiney and not look at fried?like what products can you use?

thanks ill rate high for real answers.

if your hair looks fried, a good thing to use (only on the bottom few inches, if you put this on your roots your hair will look oily) is Bed Head Ego Boost split end mender. I'd put a squirt or two in the ends of your hair after you towel dry it to protect it from a hair dryer/straightener/curling iron and any other heat you might apply to it. After you've styled your hair, you might put another squirt into your hair and run it all through your hair to smooth out flyaways and such. then, there's this really cool stuff by got2b called dazzling shine spray. you can spray some of this all over to give your hair more shine and less frizz. i'd recommend that for thin, greasy, or oily hair, because it gives you plenty of shine without any grease. however, if you have really thick, dry, or curly hair, you can try got2b glossy anti-frizz shine serum, which also works very very well, but can leave your hair looking weighed down with product if you aren't careful. hope i helped!!

does n e one knoe a way to treat sweaty hands?

ask your doctor, there's plenty of perscriptions. if your hands are constantly sweaty, to the point where you almost feel like you should (or you actually do) walk around holding tissues all day...then you may have palmar hyperhydrosis. (excessive sweating of the palms). however, if you just have sweaty hands when you're nervous or when you're holding hands with a boy or something, then its just a nervous response. (no matter how comfortable you might be with the guy, just the fact that you like him can cause sweaty palms) for this, all you need to do is descretely fix the problem by rubbing his arm rather than sitting with your hands tightly clasped for an hour creating a pocket of hot air which will only trigger more sweat. maybe if you're nervous you could go to the bathroom and wash your hands, or maybe straighten out your shirt or something to casually uhm...wipe your hands off. sorry i can't offer more specific help but with more information i could help you with your individual needs. hope i helped

well i wasnt sure if i should ask this on here since its stupid and embarrassing. but i guess i should give it a try and since people ask some question like mine...well here it goes...

can someone have herpes when they didnt do IT? or anything sexual for that matters?

well i never ever in my life...did it, or fooled around...infact i never had a stinkin boyfriend in my whole life...(sorry im so pathetic)

but anyways... today i was like about to sit down then suddenly it hurted down there... and well it kept hurting ish ,,,not that much but anyways ...so when i was using the "facility" i HAD to check, then it had this little red (kinda big) bump on my ...uh,...you know what...

can it be just a pimple? because i heard people DO have pimple down there except i never had one and i was wondering if its herpes...

so please someone help... i am scared to death if it is...

and what if it IS? can i Die from it??? or do i have to take a treatment?? because if it doesnt do anything to ya... then i might just well live with it...unless its deadly...

someone help???

it could very easily be acne, especially since this is the first time you've noticed a red bump popping up before, and haven't had any sexual contact. however, herpes can be genetic (i don't know very much in this area, except that i had a friend a few years ago who was born with herpes, i'm sure google has much more information on that than i do) so i can't rule it out as a possibility. however, i'm fairly certain its just a pimple, but for confirmation, go see your gyno (or since you seem young, ask your mom to take you to her gyno for a check up). hope i helped

I've been wearing slippers/flip flops recently, and they've been giving me blisters! ow

is there any kind of ointment or medicine to help heal my blisters?

there are these REALLY cool blister band-aids that you can get at the grocery store or any convinience store and they're water-proof and will stay on for a few days until you're blisters are gone, and you'll still be able to wear your shoes even with the blister pads on. they're amazing. you should go buy them.

ok, well here's the deal. my bofriend and i hav been going out for about...3-4 months. and i love him,but i dont no if its because HE says he loves me every few minutes im with him. ive thought about breaking up with him, but wen i told my best friend she said "he loves you too much. if u broke up with him, it would kill him" and hes tried to make out with me, but i rejected him. wat should i do?

well, if he tried to make out with you but you were too scared or uncomfortable, that doesn't mean you don't care about him. however, "ive thought about breaking up with him" is a huge indicator that you don't care about him in the way that he thinks you do. you shouldn't ever date anyone for your friends, or continue a relationship to spare their feelings. eventually you'll either have to break it off or marry them, which you won't, so delaying the inevitable is only going to hurt the guy in the long run. you need to sit down and decide what your relationship means to you. not your friend, and not your boyfriend. but if you can give your boyfriend the love and respect he deserves, or if he's just being carried along for the ride and feeling things for you that you only pretend to feel in return. when you figure all that out, you'll know whether or not you should continue dating him or break up with him. hope i helped

Ok, I just learned that my boyfriend has had sex with ohter girls before we started to date. I dont want to do anything with him, but I just feel so disgusted. Im 14, and He's 15 and I cant believe he would do that. Im afraid of what he might try to do to me. He's hasnt ever tried anything before but I cant help to feel disgusted, my friend thinks I can do better than him and give him up since he lied to me so much, but I stil love him. Should I break up with him?

well, personally i would ask him about it, maybe your sources aren't even true and he's a virgin, after all, if he's 15 chances are pretty high its still a rumor. but if its true, and he's honest with you about it, then you need to tell him how you feel about it and the two of you will be able to realize what to do from there. if you're uncomfortable talking to him about any of the things i've mentioned...then you probably shouldn't be dating him in the first place. and if he did have sex, and failed to mention it to you...then there are probably better guys out there for you. hope i helped, let me know if there's anything else

okay so when you get your period and you have to count how many days until your next...do you start counting from the last day you got your period or from the first day you got it?

well actually...i start counting from the day i get it. just write down on the calendar the date you get it, and the next few dates you get your period...and you should be able to see patterns in the number of days for each cycle, not everyone has a perfect 28 day cycle. hope i helped

I am 14/m and I feel short.
I am 5feet 10 inches but I am one of the shortest in my class(10th grade).
I am the tallest in my Family, even taller than my ancestors,and my mom and my uncle(who is a doctor) says that they Believe I won't grow anymore, but I still want to Be taller.
I was wandering if anyone knows a way to grow a few inches (like 3 or 4). I am willing to try anything to grow.
Please tell me something I can do.

5'10"?! that's not short! that's awesome. my boyfriend's 5'10" and he's a good head taller than i am. you should be happy with your height, because there isn't anything you can do about that. sure you might grow some more, after all, you're only 14, but even if you don't, you're not short! don't sweat the small stuff, you're fine. sorry i can't really help, but there isn't anything you can do to force your body to grow. the best you can do is avoid caffiene and get plenty of sleep so that your body can reach its full potential. eating unhealthily or depriving yourself of sleep and excercise might stunt your growth, so those are some things to avoid, but if that's as tall as you're going to get, there's no changing that. sorry buddy.

I'm a 16 yr old female. I've been trying my hardest to change my eating habits, but it's so hard! I've been trying to avoid junk food but it's really difficult, and I haven't been doing the best job. It's just so much easier to eat something bad for you. I buy all healthy food for myself but my family loves stuff thats bad for you, and I can't help but grab some junk food instead of an apple or soemthing. I need to start avoiding it but it's EVERYWHERE! Please give me some advice on how to ignore the temptation and become healthier! Thank you so much. I rate 5's!

well...what i did was find one or two healthy alternatives to junk food. One thing i really like is yoplait fat free yogurts. i used to HATE yogurt, and fat free foods in general are pretty gross, but this is really good stuff. But for you it could be something different, just a few things you really enjoy that are healthy, and the next time you find yourself reaching for a cookie or something unhealthy, just tell yourself "i don't need that. i can be just as happy with this _____." and eat your healthy alternative. as you get more used to not eating the junk food anymore, you can start to incorporate more healthy foods to replace more junk food. gradually you will see a huge difference without giving up all of your favorite things cold turkey. you may not get immediate results the way you wanted, but two months of gradual change is much better than three months of frustration and feeling guilty about not being able to become instantly healthier. hope i helped
