Q: does figering hurt? it seems like it would hurt a lot the first time. or just in general? i know weird question but im really curious
well. ive heared two different accounts, one girl said it hurt so much, adnd for me, it didnt hurt at all. i think it depends on the guy who is doing it to you. he should only be using one finger at first becuase u r new to it and you vaJJ (hahahha) is still very small and "tight". so if the guy does it gently enough then it wont hurt the first time. you will probably not feel much when you get it done the first few times, but after a while it can get really pleasurable. hope i could help :)

Q: ok well the thing is im only thirteen and im in love with this amazing guy but the fact is he's like 4 years older than me!? but last nigth he had sex with me and i don't now what to do please tell me if you have any advice!?
just so you know, love doesnt exist. really, honestly, its all a myth. anyway. um. i hope that you consented to sex, and he didnt jsut force you. sometimes its hard to trust an older guy at this age, because yes their hormones are rageing, and they do have many other options of girls who are more physcically mature than you. maybe he does have feelings for you, maybe he doesnt. but you just need to make sure that you dont regret what you did. really dont regret it. it happend, now move on. if he pressures you to do it again and u dont feel sonfortable, jsut tell him. if he liekd you enough he would understand. if you want to do it with him again, then do, but make sure your ready for the conciquesnces. people might hear about what you did and start to call you rude names for no reason, and you might get really hurt by this guy. im not telling you not to have sex with him again, just look at your life and decide what you want.

Q: I am very confused. It is so much harder to get over a guy that I went out with for 14 days (only saw 3 or 4 days) than it did to get over a guy I dated for 8 months. I don't understand it?!?!?



I'm 13 almost 14 and a girl.
i know exactally how you feel. I believe the reason to it is is because the guy you went out with for 8 months, you got so used to, and he almost became "un-specail". honestly think about it. this guy you have been dating for 8 months, you knwo everything about, all his bad sides, all this good sides, and honestly, you are probably kinda a little bit sick of him. and this guy you dated for 14 days, hes still a mystery, you still want more from that relationship.

hope i can help :)

Q: How can I get my confidence level higher ?

Any tips?????????????????????????
hey im struggling with thte same thign too right now. heres what ive been doing recentally which workes and also makes me very happy and more confident with myself:
1)know you are beautiful, every guy wants you, but the reason y thye r not tlaking to you is because you r too intimidating, but u shoudl know if you aproach them they will be more than pleased to talk to you. alth there is a handful of just plain stupid guys who will be asses to you who r probably gay. so love yourself first, then people will love you too
2) in a few years no one will remember that you were the girl who tried to say hi to that hot guy in lunch adn while doing to tripped over a seat and spilt her lunch all over the cafeteria (and that woudl be the worst thign that can happen to you if you try to say hi to someone). making friends is key, even if its just oneline (which i find easier to do) because friends make u feel great about yourself.
3) surround yourself with fun outgoing happy people because they will make you feel like you are just as worthey as they are.
4) picture all thoes outgoing happy girls who get all the guys, pretend you them, i know it souinds crazy and it might sound liek you r trying to be someone your not, but it works because you are pushing yuourself to be more outgoing so you attract more guys who boost your self esteem
5)act in a whim. just do things that come to mind. act on instinct, through yourself out there on the limb adn hope it works

i hope i could help. its all in your head, remember that! (ps sry it was so long)

Q: Alright so my bf and i have been going out for about a month. && i like him a lot, i have never met anyone like him. Do you have any ideas about what i should get him for Valentines day? I am really stuck on this :[

Q: Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me


i know this is from a song but what does the last line mean?
the love we have for eachother will never be know, so give me a chance and you will realize just how in love we truly are.
well thats wat i think it means, soemthing like that

Q: Alright, I'm 17/m and I shaved my chest and stomach (left the happy trail, as girls call it, there).

The problem is I have red bumps now because I've irritated my skin. The bumps have been there for over a month.

I'm sure they'd go away if I stopped shaving, but I'm looking for an alternative.
shaving is tedious and it leaves irritation, just use nair for your chest and stomach, it might be a pink bottle, but it works w/o irritation.
but if you still want to just shave, pile on lotion or body butter right after you get ot of the shower
also when u put the shaving cream on (which i hope you do, cuz it helps stopn razor burn, and use that mosturizing stuff) let it sit there for a while longer so it mosturises the skin

Q: Okay, well like a couple months ago i liked this one friend of mine named Nick. Anyways, just New Years Eve he finally asked me out. we've been going out since, but we never hang out, we barely talk, and in school when we pass eachother he doesnt say anything. hes not shy though, atleast not that it seems. Today he didnt say anything to me until the end of the day when we passed eachother he said "hey" and i stopped him and said "i really need to talk to you" and he goes "well hurry up i hafta be at practice for 2:25 and its 2:20" so i said forget it and walked away, and he said something about he'll talk to me later? I really cant take this, and I cant break up with him because I really really like him a lot. I dont know what to do though, and if I do talk to him I dont know what to say. help? please.
wow, this is pretty much the same thing that happedn to me. the guy i liked finially asked me out on new years eve. now first of all this isnt the smartest move ona guys half becuase he is now obligated to but his new girlfriend a present. from the way hes acting i assume he didnt get you a present, which is dissapointing, but perfectally understandable.
now to the point, you said he was your friend, so i'm guessing you guys talked more than you have now. i'm guessing youre young around 13, 14, so guys have their priorities ina a different order, sports, then girls. it sucks i no, but he will make sure he exells in his spot before he even has time to think about you. (my guy is like this)
its very upsetting he hasent talked to you much, and the only reason that i can think of is that now you are going out he has gotten very shy and self concious. he might not seem shy, but if a guys really likes a girl he could get nervious aound her, and i think this is what has happend to you.
he really shoudl be making an effort to talk to you, but guys will be guys. try calling him and telling him how you feel. its good for him to know this.
like nick, really why dont we talk anymore? ever since we have been going out u have almost ignored me. and he will probably apologise and say he was buisy. he might have really been buisy with a lot on his mind.
he might just be too young for a real relationship. give him time and space (but i mean space as in let him breath, but you can still call and text or im him) if he doesnt start talking to you more, then whats the point of going out with him? even if u like him a lot, if he is being an ass why put yourself through this?

geezzz i'm sry it was soooo long really am
good luck with this
i really hoppe i coudl be of some help and didnt just waste your time!! ahhh
hahaha!

Q: i have a question you may not know but im almost 12 and i dont know when i am gonna get my period but all i know is that i have discharge since like 7 months now! the other people in my family (mom & sister) got theirs at 13 and 12....does that mean that i am gonna get mine soon?
you will probably get you period close to around next year, or to be earliest in a half a year. its has said that girls get their period around the same time as their mom did and their geandma did. also if you have been growing boobies (lol) for a while then it is comming soon. it is very difficult to tell, but you can get a safe guess. dont owrry about you period too much after a while it just starts to beld in with your daily (monthely) life. haha. well good luck, hope i couold have been of some help!!

Q: i have this problem where i cant stay in a realashion ship for a long time or else i get sick of the guy how do i change that
Hey, this is perfectly normal! i know exactly how you feel. once the case for the guy is over, you loose interest in him. It happens to girls all the time.
Maybe you shouldn't acctaully consider you two girlfriend and boyfriend, maybe friends with benifits.
but if you want an acctual relationship, try not spending so much time with him. You might get bored more quickly with him.
also m,ake sure that this guy you are with, you are really attracted to. not just in looks, but his persolality and everything about him. and make sure he makes you feel special; that your the only one.
hope i helped!

Q: I think I love my best friend, but I still kind of like this other guy. I have no idea if I love him as a close friend or more than just a friend. He has a girlfriend, but I just have no idea on how to tell him how I feel about him without becoming all nervous around him. How do I tell him, without getting butterflies in my stomack?

hey, i'm like going through the exact same thing! ha. well, my guy does have a grilfriend too and it is very discouraging, i know. and i kind of like this other guy, but i really really liek my best friend! keep an open mind. dont tell you friend just yet about your feelings because if he is dating someone else, the he isn't that into you yet...
i say go for the guy you kind of liek until your best freidn breaks up with his girl. then break up with the guy you kind of like and then start building a super strong relationship with your best friend. then get a friend to tell him how you feel, but make it seem like she souldn't have told him. if he makes a move then he likes you, but if he doesn't then dont worry, you still have your freindship.

Also if you are not sure if you lie your friend then think about making out with him. do you liek the idea of you two together? well, then you like him.

hope i could help! i'm acctually doing the same thing, so tell me if it turns out good if you do do that!

Q: 13/f does anyone know the amount of calories someone who is trying to lose alot of weight is supposed to take in a day. i know for the average teenager it's like 1000-2000.xoxo
if you want to loose weight 1200 calories per day should do it. one pound = 3500 callories (its a biotch i no) so just stay active and only eat 1200 a day and you'll be loosing rapid weight.

Q: Im downloading some music into my IPOD mini and i was just wondering, what are song good songs i can put on it. I like everything except country and techno.i still like dance music tho.. So just gimme some songs people! THanks!

Q: Hello. Im in love. Soooo....Ive told two of my close guy friends that I like him (they are pretty good friends with "him" too) and I've been hanging out A LOT with "him" this summer. Both of my guy friends say I should tell him I like him and one of them says that we "radiate" and guessed we liked eachother before I got the chance to tell him that the me-liking-him part was true. I get strong feelings that he likes me back a lot but at the same time i get insecure that he doesnt with some of his actions.

So....Summary:
I dont know if I should tell this guy or not that I like him. Dont guys make the first move? I really want something to happen but Ive had my heart broken before and I dont really want that to happen again. If he liked me wouldnt he be doing something?
Ive been hanging out with him for about 3 months but the whole crush thing started about a month ago.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!
just a sudgestion, but have u ever considered hes just not that into you.
well, i cant say that for sure, he might like you he might not.
get to know one of his guy friends and ask him who "he" likes.
in the mean time, flirt w/ him like crazy.
hope i could help and good luck!!!

if a guy likes you he will make the first move, trust me (unless he is uber shy) guys go after wat they want.

Q: I am not big AT ALL, I am very little and I am NOT bragging. I am 13 years old and I'm female, guys don't really want to go out with me because I'm so thin. how do I got more meat on my bones faster than a few mounths or weeks?

P.S. I am 65 pounds.
well two options:

hall off to dunkin doughnouts (sp?) and eat your hear out.
or
work out. lift weight. do anything to bulk up.
good luck skinny lizzy.

Q: I am 14/f and i am 5'6'' and i weigh around 160 lb
(my scale isnt accurate...)
but people ALWAYS mistake me for around 140 pound
and i know i am fat...ohh harsh me.. i mea overweight. but i do try to lose weight.
i exercise regularly. every monday wednesday and friday (it was on health magz that its not good for you if you exercise everyday when you get older) anyways so i lost 10 pounds around already yes i know i was even fat loser then.

and i dont eat alot, although i snack sometime like eating desert like little bit of ice cream but not a lot.

so what is normal for my height and weight and my age? and how can i get my self to stay exercising?
because during those times i been quiting in and out and technically i only exercised for a month
or 2. so its pretty good losing 10 lb in those month because i dont want saggy skin...talk about ew. no offense... to people who do have those ...

anyways and i am thick in the leg. and arm... and i cant do lifting dumbels anymore because i kinda got hurt from that...

so how do i get my legs to be slender?

and keep on track and any tips on losing weight faster?

please i need help ! i havent had a boyfriend ever! i know people say its not about what's on the outside becaue then its not true love or stuff but i really want a boyfriend and i WANT to look good for him (well future bf ) and i want to feel better about my self...

so please help me
oh honney! i feel for you! ok, so i'll start with this, you want your body mass to be around 18-23. that would be healthy ( to find you body mass multiply your weight by 704.5 then devide it by you height in inches and then devide it by your height in inches again. you should get your body mass) ok.
it is fine to induldge sometimes, and keep a regular eating scedual. and ALWAYS have breakfast, no matter what!
to keep exercising just picture that guy you want and how you want to look good for him. it is easy to get down on youself and tell yourslef its no use, but every little thing counts. and extra run up and down the stairs a day, just anything!
i am so happpy you have lost 10 pounds already; that is great! now you know how great it feels to loose weight and you should be even more determinded to loose even mnore!
about the saggy skin, dont worry about it, i only know of one case that the man was left with saggy skin, but that was after he lost like 200 pounds in a year.
try long walks uphill. always uphill because it thinns your calfs and tightens up you booty! to get your thighs thinner try leg lifts. You have no idea how amazing crunches are. they help flatten your stomach sooooo much!

now about a guy. dont let your weight hold you back. really, guys might notice if your a bit big, but sometimes they like a little junk in the trunk. and dont be fooled by thinking guys only go in looks, they care for the personality. although it is true they will only approach a hot skinny girl, but if you approach them and just be nice, you'll be making frinds in no time, and maybe more than friends....
good luck and dont get disscouraged! i'm here for you!!!!
