So, I am 17f and I have never dated anyone. I feel that there are certain types of guys that I really just want to stay away from (liers, cheaters, players, guys that only want sex), basically all the kinds I know. I have met a guy that is sweet, kind, respectful, and loving towards me recently.. the only thing is, I have had a rough childhood (meaning I can take things to the heart, I am careful with who I chose as friends, and I can find it hard to open up to people sometimes), people have backstabbed/lyed to me, and my mom has been through two divorces. My question is how can I become closer to this guy without allowing myself to feel like I am holding back a little. He is understanding, loves me for who I am, and seems interested.. one time he asked if he could kiss me and I let him kiss me on the cheek, but I keep wondering if I should of kissed him on the lips or if that was holding back. I mean whats wrong with a kiss on the lips? I don't know.. do I hold back too much? What can I do to stop feeling like I do?

Hi there ive been in the same position as you, all i can advice you as i am now 22 and looking back is, because of your childhood it seems to be worrying you but try to throw it out the window if it wasnt the best and start from fresh, the best thing to do is explain to him that you dont want to rush things but let hime know you are interested, by telling him and go for walks, watch movies, and from there see what happens.
I hope things work out for you. Eventally you will be able to trust him all in time
all the best


So about 5 weeks ago i had sex and used a condom. a month later i got my period. now about a week later i have my period again. its at the very begining so i don't know if its spotting or a real period. Is 2 periods a month indication that you're pregnant? i read that some women spot when they are pregnant so my question is can i be pregnant or am i just freeking out for no reason. (link)
Hi first of all do not freak out, i know it is difficult but dont panic, if you had one period and it was normal it is likely you are not pregnant but if you are worried and to be sure buy a pregnancy test the easy ones to understand and it will put your mind at rest.
Hope i helped you..


okay so im 14 and i want to peirce my own belly button. i dont want it to be done professional so can anyone give me some tips on peircing my own bely button. (link)
ok if you want to peirce your own and do not want to get it down professionaly which i would get it done professionaly because you may get an infection there which can be quiet painful. But if you want to get it done urself make sure your neadle is steralised with a match so that there is no germs on it or put it over the gas stove! then dont you use an ice cube the other side???? make sure u have an earing ready to put in and i think you can buy this infectant stuff which is very good i used it for my ears when i was little when i got them pierced its a little blue bottle with a sort of disinfectant but what you could do or i suggest is u use alttle tcp or something to avoid the germs!!!!!i dont think its a good idea though because its your belly after all and you dont want to put the neadle in a dangerous spot.hope i helped love sweetcorn and good luck


I am 13/f about to be 14 in October, and I am a 32A. My mom is only a 34B, is it possible I could get a C cup?

What age do breasts stop growing, approximately? (link)
ok well believe me your breast will grow up until you are 16 or 18 it depends you are still younge and have not stopped growing! im 18 and my breast have grown even from last year i used to be a c now im a DD and believe me you dont want this size boobs its harder to get nice bras for. Good luck an idea might be to drink alot of milk for the cacium and also just eat good food usally helps in growth.


hi i'm 13 years old, almost 14..and i've never been kissed before in my life. not on the cheeks or lips or ANYWHERE! and i've never even had a boyfriend in my life either. but i want one SO badly! i dont care if my first kiss isnt "real" or whatever..i just want puppy love! i dont care! i just want it to happen..i dream about it so much everynight. and i feel like such a loser because it feels as if every other 13-14 year old girl in the world has been kissed except me. even some of my more unattractive friends have...idk. i dont think i'm hideous or fat or mean or any of hte above...but i dont know ..something about me must turn guys off..just please help idk what to do. and if i'm ever going to get my first kiss soon (link)
Don't worry at all i never got my first kiss until i was 16 i think thats because i never thought about it. When i was 16 i flirted with this guy i liked and i sent him an email to fill in about me and he did and we ended up going out. So i suggest if you like anyone in school send them that questionaire and flirt with them, sometimes boys are affraid of pretty girls because they think they will get rejected or something.You don't want to kiss just anyone it should be someone you like. Flirt with someone in school, and im sure you will have your first kiss soon don't worry i was in the same positon but it soon comes. Hope you get your first kiss soon lv sweetcorn x


ive made out before, but i never really new how to, i kidna just always went in for the kill.

but can someone teach me how to really make out? becasue i dont know if my ways really working. (link)
I used to be in the same boat the more you make out the better you get!! theres no correct or incorrect way i mean my bf was like bit my tounge i was like ewww but everyones different.I do not like tounge biteing! just move your tounge around in the mouth and really concerntrate on the person like when they go one way go the other. kiss the lips alot and pull the lip out its really good. Wait im not too good at making out i have no idea but i hope i helped seeing i only kissed one boy. but hope i helped you. x x x lv sweetcorn


I think I might have depression, I have been depressed for a while. I have been cutting myself and feeling completely lost and hopeless. Everything is being affected by this and I have been having suicidal thoughts. I am scared and I think that I need to see a therapist to work through some issues, but I don't know how to bring it up with my parents. Does anyone know how I can bring it up with them? I know that I need help and my friends who know about my cutting think I need it as well. How can I bring it up? Thanks. (link)
Right what you need to do is go to your GP and ask to see a councellor. You need to find out what you are depressed about i know it seems stupid but i got very depressed and i never new why but when i found out why i was depressed like e.g my bf being in hospital and him being very disrespectful i thought actually why am i bothering if he wants to be a pig im going to leave him alone.Since ive left him alone ive been feeling so much better. I tryed listening to some songs like the songs that make you feel happy,You need to think wait why am i depressed? Then think of thoughts to get yourself out of it. About telling your parents sometimes they can just tell so they won't need telling or just say mum im depressed and she will help you. I hope i helped even if it was a little bit. I also hope you get over your depression soon.Lv sweetcornx


Do hickies hurt when people give them to you? I'm so confused about it... (link)
TAhis brings back memories of being 16 a year ago a boy gave me a hickie for a joke he gave me 3 of them and my mum was so annoyed. It does not hurt at all it just feels like someones sucked on your neck and it first of all goes red and then purple and then it lasts so long i had to walk about with it for about 4 or 5 weeks and it annoyed me so much afterwards because i wanted it to go away. I sugest if you want a hickie you make sure its small and not big one and don't let him do it too much. My mum said they usally mean you have had sex but i haddn't my bf at that time did it for jokes. I had to wear a scarf for so long aswell. Hope i helped lv sweetcorn xx


okay here it goes.. when i was 11, i meet this boy... lets call him bob, and he was sorta a jackass to me, so then we went on for about 5 years not talking to eachother. but we did see each other around the town, we didnt even say hi to eachother, so then i move from the town i was living in with my dad, and attend another skool, on my second day of my new skool i see him again, and then me and him started talking and i figured out that he really changed in those 5 years,but i found out he has a girlfrand, so i flirt with him and write him letters explaining how much i like him, then i invited him over to my house, and he makes out with me, and he cheated on his gf twice be4 breaking up with her.. he exclaimes hes sorry for how hes treated me and that he fell in love with me.. so 5 months later hwere dating and he asks to marry me... my problem is i love him but i dont kno if im ready for the commitment yet.. (link)
ok right well marriage is for life not a day i think you are way to younge i don't know how old you are but from you talking about school you must be around about the age of secondary school education which in my opinion is way to younge. I know you love him in which case tell him so tell him you love him but you feel you are too younge and can you continue dating and being close and who knows if you stay together you may get married when you are at that correct age and that age is when you have the correct job that you want and everything is how you want it he also needs to think about his future.If he cheated on his gf whats to say he won't cheat on you he probably won't but think of that and make it clear to him you don't want any cheating.Remember when you are married you are commited to that one guy and it is very very difficult to get out off. I hope i helped. lv sweetcorn x


I'm 17 years old and i dropped out of school and i dont have a job and i reallly want one i aplied every where and no one has CALLED ME!! All i do is sit here al day getting yelled at by my mom because i dont have a job!! But im trying!! im so depressed im just here all day and we need money so bad were almost evicted ive gained so much weight since ive been home ive been in the hospital before for trying to kill myself and i have cut marks all over my body im about to jump over the EDGE!! and i have a physicall comming up and if my doctor see's those marks im right back at the psych ward:( how do i cover those marks??

I really need some advice thanx (link)
Right im 17 too so i may be able to help you, First things first and that means to do exercise run around the block to relise stress, listen to music that makes you feel happy,You need to start getting out there and going places eg to get your job i know its very hard i tryed once and i had no success either go to hairdressers and maybe start by asking if they want anyone to wash hair i know it sounds rubbish but it could earn some money. Just do not get stressed about it i know this is easy to say but theres no need to turn to harming yourself it never helps it always makes things worse. I know you will eventually get a job this sounds so snobby but make sure you talk as posh as possible when applying for jobs this world has snobs who turn people down for the way they talk so its very important to come accros as well spocken I bet you that will help try it and see.Theres not much else i can say but i really hope i helped you.x x x


I have so many peoples around my mouth and fourhead. I get them all the time even though i was my face every morning with acne rudusing face was (clearisl).

I don't eat that great but yet i'm still thin-ish.
should i work out more and drink water or what?

i need to get rid of my acne within a week before i hang out at this party i'm going to. (link)
well the best thing to do is go to a chemist and get some sudocream and put that on your pimples when i get spots i put it on them and they go away in no time. I think those anti spot things sometimes make it worse. Its used on babys and i think its great if its good enough for babys its good enough for us. Try it hope i helped.


Okay so i really like this friend of mine...I mean I have fallen hard...but the problem is...I am completely unsure as to if he likes me...I mean he acts like he does...but then again he is kinda flirting well..not exactly flirting...but messing with other girls while i'm right there...I just act like i dont care and laugh with him...but anyways...back to the issue...i really like him..and i want to know if he likes me..but i dont want to ask him straight up...is there anything he might do that would let me know he's into me? or is there any way i can get him to confess he likes me without being to obvious? I dont want to ask him straight up because i dont want to hurt our friendship...any ideas?? Thanks sooooo much in advance to any answers! (link)
Well i had the same problem im 17/f now and when i was in secondary school i really liked my friend he was my best friend basically and i was always afraid to lose him as a friend if i told him i liked him but one day i could not hold it in. I used to spend so long on the phone to him and i asked him on the phone so who do you like tell me your top 3 people and he told me and i was like 3rd it made me so hurt i was like why not me... anyways so then he asked me mine and i never put him on there when really he was number one. Then later on i decided i would not tell him when we got to the last year of school i realised wait we are leaving soon im going to lose him forever anyway i sent him an email forward i got saying what do you think of me. He filled it out saying he liked me and he gave it to me in school then over msn i flirted and i told him i liked him. Then in class he touched my hand i never forget how happy i was. You could let him know in a suttle way like spend lots of time with him,talk to him on the phone for along time is a big give away.i know it sounds silly but try that email tell him fill it out. it says would you ever go on a date with me ect and thats how me and my bf started going out and would you believe it we are still together now in sixth form although we are at different colleges hes going uni this year and i know we will fall apart but all because of that email and i still have it.I never forget reading it and being so happy he gave it to me in school... so try it or you have to do it before you leave college or write on msn who do you like flirt alittle and get really close friends i hope i helped and inbox me if you need any further advice xxx gd luck x



well i like or liked (i totally dont know what to think anymore? ) this guy named peter! and well i think he liked me back and he always smiled at me and smiled at me but i'm kind of shy so i never smiled back. so once in my bus he sat next to me and talked to me but i was in a bad mood and very mean to him! well not THAT mean but kinda mean lol so then he never talked to me again but sometimes he still looked at me. so i felt bad and i called him today i was like me: hi my name is cornelia can i please talk to peter peter: yeah i'm peter me: oh well hi its me you know that mean girl? uhm yeah so i just wanted to appologize for being so mean! peter:uhu silence.. me: so is everythink ok again? peter: uhh yeah silence me: ok than silence peter: bye me: bye and well that was it and i started grying cause it totally went wrong! i thought he would say like ok i except it or whatever but he said nothing at all? does he hate me now? i am really upset! i think he's gonn atell everybody now that i called him and then there all gonna laugh at me! but i dont get it! he even told me he loved me once (i was kinda mean then 2) but i tried to be nice now! he act like he didnt care! i need advice i'm really upset!!!! oh and please dont delete this cause i really need advice and i dont wanna write the whole question over again.

well when boys get rejected or laughed at they kind of take it hard. He probably likes you but he just wants to play cool. When you phoned him and he was not expecting it i guess he was silent because he liked you sometimes boys are like that i mean if a boy phoned me out of the blue who i liked i think i would be silent to hear what he has to say. Why does it matter if he tells everyone that you phoned him! Just say so??? its not like you confessed you loved him on the phone or did you hehe joking. Erm what to do now i say i don't think he hates you, unless hes childish build it up by smiling at him in school, sitting next 2 him and being nice this time.you have said sorry and im afraid thats all you can do now you have to wait and see what happens next but don't say sorry anymore you phoned and said sorry thats enough overwise he will think ahh this girl is so all over me, hope i helped lv sweetcorn if you need any further advuice don't hesitate to inbox me.


ok well im new to this and i was just wonderin i hve aol AIM an i was wonderin how to get the link into my profile any idea? (link)

Hey, I really need some advice..I hope you can help me.

so there is this girl in a few of my classes at school, and she is a total flirt..she always makes sexualized comments or does pilates in front of me or whatever, and I'm just like ok..CONTROL..lol. Last week we were filming a movie for Video Production class and she was wagging her tongue at me (the camera was on me, not her) so I completely messed up my line.. and then she was trying to hypnotize me and she was really close to me, and she was just pretty hard to resist. She flirts with me, but that doesn't mean anything, because she flirts with everybody pretty much.. and I'm pretty sure people have caught me checking out her ass during class.. I am a girl too, btw.

and just the past week I have started feeling some serious attraction to her.. I seriously can't stop thinking about her, and I can't focus on anything else when I'm in the same room as her.. which isn't that good if I'm in class, because she's a really big distraction to me. I don't know what to do, because the thing is she makes me really nervous and I get shy around her.. its weird cause usually I can flirt with people, but I can't even flirt with her because I'm so shy with her, especially when I'm alone with her.

I have NO idea what to do..she is driving me crazy...do you have any advice?? (link)
ok this is a hard one to answer but im going to try. You need to ignore her as much as possible i know you have feelings for her and can't stop thinking about her. But you need to try and focus on something else because unless you both like each other and she likes you and you like her and you both want to be together forget it because theres a girl in my school and she told all the girls shes a lesbian and erm we kinda got scared incase she was attracted to one of us and we don't hang out with her that much... as much as we used to..So yeh say you to did get together people might not hang out with you anymore......
you might think what am i talking about but its TRUE....... people are like that... So you need to just focus on something else like your work.. and just say hi 2 her and bye and just play it kool see what happens. Hope i helped lv sweetcorn.....


I was asked out to lunch with a guy that I'm just friends with (but have suspected that he has deeper feelings for me).
After we ordered he started to ask me all sorts of questions, like where was I going to find the guy of my dreams, and that prince charming wasnt going to knock on my door. Then he told me that he was worried that if I wasnt in a relationship by 5 years time ( I am 27 ) that I wouldnt be very happy.
The whole time the conversation took place he looking at me romantically, and after I finished eating, I applied a fresh coat of lipstick and he couldnt keep his eyes off me.
When we left it was pouring rain and he took his umbrella and covered me even though he was soaked, and walked REALLY close to me.
He has always been shy and would never say he wanted to be more then friends upfront. Do you think this was his way of telling me he wants to be my boyfriend? (link)
yes i think he has feelings for you because he was trying to find out where you will find the man of your dreams. He was also trying to find out if you are seeing anyone? If he looked at you romantically i think he likes you and wants to be your bf! go out with him again and see what happens.Flirt with him if you like him. Soon he will ask you out hope i helped lv sweetcornxx


Lately ive been so stressed , its not even funny... my best(guy)friend who i kinda like, I dont even know whether or not anymore got a new gf and shes like my friend and she told me that if i wasnt ok with it that she wouldnt go out with him but what am i supposed to do be like no you cant when i know how much my friend likes her... i couldnt do that to him now i dunno i dunno whether i feel like i want to cry or what, im thinking if i try to like a guy and get a boyfriend i wont be stressed about it anymore and crap like that but i dunno i do like him but im so happy for him at the same time cuase he likes her so much and i cant find anyone to like or who i thinks cute, and i cant stop thinking about it, and today i saw him kiss her, whats my problem why i cant i just be like no i dont like you you have agf whos my friend and now who likes you... ugh something inside of me just wants to break... :( anyhelp... (link)
i know this is hard but what you must do is stay friends with them both do not act like you are jealous. There is no way you can break them up so don't think about it. You are going to have to try and find someone else and if you can't you will have to stay single. Just stay friends with them both and let them get on with it. Besides he picked her not you so you have to accept the fact that he picked your friend and leave them if it hurts you to see them together then walk away and don't look at them when they are kissing. i know this is not great advice but its all i could think off you could try and get close friends with another guy. hope i helped lv sweetcornxxx


I need some 1 2 help me out on this one when ever im with my girlfriend and i hold her hand i get a boner how can i cantrol that cause its really embarassing and i need help fast plz (link)
sometimes girls don't even notice so don't worry i mean its not like they are looking down all the time. My bf told me he had a boner when i was with him i never even new so he should have never told me but you need to just change the subject and take no notice of it. If you take notice of it she will notice and you don't want that now do you? good luck.


PLEASE READ WILL RATE 5 I PROMISE JUST PLEASE HELP!
13 f
Ok well i know this is going to be long but i just need help.
this past summer summer 05' i meet the most amazing guy EVER!he was the completely best guy ever i meet him at a school dance i danced with him the whole night he was so cute to me and he was just adroable! I really felt in love so the first week of summer me and a few friends got together to go to the movies and i new he was going to it was a first date kinda thing right and well about 45 mins into the movie we kissed this was my first kiss. too and instead of just that first kiss we also made out that night and i just couldnt belive it. it was amazing i loved him so much. i always got in trouble for talking on the phone with him so late. But i didnt care i was in love we stayed on the phone all day long...even if we wernt talking we could sit there for hours with complet siclence and we'd be happy our next date was at my house he meet my mom and my dad they aproved and so on then he came back for a 2nd date to my house for a while with one of my friends my friend pushed me in the pool too and he jumped in and so on so we just all swam the whole day in our clothes. so we had a few more dates and things where like magic i rember one day we decidec to go to this little festival thing and we kissed this one kiss in the rain for like a min. and i dream about that moment all the time when im asleep so time past the summer went by and well things started getting boring... i didnt wanta break up but i had thought about it but i just didnt want to lose him so time past we spent longer time apart then school started i saw him there but he was a grade ahead of me so i he wasnt like in any of my classes then when i got home he called me he asked how my first day of school was blah blah and then like for no apprent reason he said Sarah i think we should see other people he said i still like you i just want to be single. i said ok and hung up i cryed all the rest of the day and cried that whole week because i really loved him.
SO now like 4 months after all this i still miss him just somehting i havent gotten over i have only been out with on guy since but i broke up with him cause i just didnt want to get back together and see i know i can have any guy in my school that i wanted i mean im not some but ugly fat chick ok but i just still miss him so much every time i hear out song i cry i dont know what to do i need help i would go out with another guy but like i dont wanta sound despret and ask another guy out i want some guy to ask me out but all the stupid boys at our school are to scared to ask me out i just totally need help
(link)
Right here i go first thing you should do is he obviously still likes you hes not going to get over you that quick. Maybe you should Flirt with some other boy who you like at skl just let him know you like him and im not saying forget the other guy i am saying he is trying to move on so you should try aswell and maybe if you get someone else he will realise he wants you. I know you miss him and i know its hard but just think hes not worth it if he said that to you.. usally they come back to you after a while but its if you want him back or not. Just wait and i am sure someone will ask you out. Do not ask them out because it will look like you want the other person in order to spite him. Good luck love sweetcorn.x or try staying single.
