I'm a 12 year old. My mom is super strict on how I dress and she wants me to be all feminine (I'm a girl). When honestly I want to cut my hair in an emo boy fashion dye it black and wear eyeliner and black lipstick and band t shirts with skinny jeans and converse. But she wouldn't let me do that...I'm trying to convince her to let me die my hair black. I've just finished my first period, I can make my own decisions. I want to shop at hot topic but she says forever 21 although now we're having a blizzard (I live in New York) so that's out of the question. I want to cut my hair short to make it easier to manage I'm sick of it being long...how do I convince her? (link)
I am a mom to a 12 year old son. I think your mom is just trying to keep you from making a drastic change like cutting all your hair off and dying it black. I'm 30 years old and just dyed my hair black a week ago. My mom yelled at me over the phone. Its just a thing moms do. You need to sit down and talk to your mom, tell her why you want to go through this change. If you have good enough reasons she will understand. I don't think your old enough to make your own decisions about everything but maybe your hair style is something you should be deciding for yourself. Tell her you want shorter hair because long hair is hard to take care of. Don't act childish. If you really want her to take you serious you need to show her you can take responsibility for yourself and in a mature way have a conversation with her about it.


I am beginning to think that my husband is a sex addict. We could be making love for a good while and 5 minutes after he ejaculates he is handing me a bottle of baby oil to give him a hand job. Honestly, we are having sex of one kind of another atleast 5 times a day and maybe 10 times a day if we are not working. In between having sex he will make me orgasm a few more times rubbing me with his hand down below. Even if we are out somewhere he will find some hiding spot for us to do it. Am I wrong thinking he is addicted to sex? Is it abnormal for a guy to ejaculate sometimes 10 times in a day? (link)
Are you happy with the amount of times you guys have sex or do you think its too much? If its getting to be too much for you then you need to talk to him. Are you worried if you stop doing it so much he will get it somewhere else? Every relationship is different. He needs to take your feelings into consideration too not just his own pleasure. If your both happy and you have the time and energy then that's great! What about the future though, what if you guys have kids and you cant have sex? That's the kind of questions you should be asking yourself. It would be better to talk to a sex therapist in this situation. I'm not sure what the normal amount is but my husband and I try to take time out about once a week. We've been together 10 years with 2 kids. Every relationship is different though. Good Luck!


So I just started the job that I'm at last November and I love it. Great benefits, great pay, and the people I work with on second shift are fantastic. I used to live in a small town in Maryland where I also worked second, but it didn't bother me since there wasn't much I was missing out on. Now that I live in Austin there's SO much to do, and I've made a few friends that love to go out. Beyond that there's so much to do that I feel that I'm only 23 and I should be letting myself experience it instead of burying myself in second shift just for a $0.75 difference. Now I mentioned it to one woman that I've been growing close to and she immediately said no. That I would hate first shift, and that the people are dramatic (which they are). And that they would pick on me (which they would) and I couldn't come back to second if I switched. I wanted to argue that I'm only 23, not in my 40s like the rest of the people I work with. I want to experience life, and if I have to put up with a few bitter people to do it then I will. But I just need a second (third, fourth) opinion from maybe someone my age. What would you do? Stay on second for the comfort and the money? Or go to first and deal with the drama, but gain my social life back. (link)
I don't recommend switching to first shift. If your happy where you are I defiantly wouldn't change it. My husband works a job that he hates. He likes the job but hates the people. He says its drama all day every day. Its to the point where he hates going to work. Having a social life is great, I agree with you there, but having a career and a job you love is more important. 5 or so years from now when you my age, settled down married, with a baby on the way, you'll be thankful for that $.75 extra pay and a job you enjoy.


So, throughout my entire life, I have been a pretty quiet and reserved boy, who says very little at school and just really plays video games and sports with close friends. Right now, I am a junior in high school. So, dance haven't really been an issue for me as I will never ask anyone and since i'm the boy, won't usually get asked. But the problem is now, my school is have a Sadie Hawkins dance, (a sadie hawkins dance is when the girl asks the boy instead of vice versa) so I'm fair game to ask. What i feared happened, and today at lunch a girl asked me to go. Some people may like this, but i am not one of those people. I couldn't say no so now i am going. The problem here is that a. I don't know how to act as I have never been, b. i can't dance like at all c. the "group" we are supposed to go with I know literally no one. The idea of meeting new people and going to a dance does not appeal to me in the slightest. What i'm basically asking is how do I get myself ready, and what do I do. I'm completely lost, and my friends are no help because none of them are going. (link)
The dancing part is easy. No one really dances anymore and she probably wont expect you to know how. Dancing is basically like hugging and moving back and forth. If your really nervous and she asks you to dance just watch how other people are doing it before you hit the floor. Its pretty easy to catch on. Its more about just having fun. The girl that asked you must like you, are you guys friends, do you like her? What's the situation with that? Maybe if you get to know her a little better, you guys might have a lot in common. I agree with you about meeting new people. I'm not a fan of that either. But sometimes when you put yourself out there and don't be afraid you might end up having fun. Don't stress about it. If you know her pretty good just tell her how you feel and I'm sure she will understand. She picked you, remember. There must be a reason.
