how do you know when you're in love? (link)
I think its a different feeling for everyone - and that you just know. For me its that you want to be with them all the time, you can't stop thinking about them, you would do anything for them, and when youre together, nothing else matters. Its an incredible feeling.
Hope that helps! xoxo

I'm going to try to shorten my life story, so here it goes;

When I was a kid, my life was literally perfect. Of course, a lot of people's are when they're a kid. But everything was just so perfect and now, within the last couple of years, my life has changed so drastically and I can't get a hold on the fact that that's just how life is. In the past couple of years;
-my parents got a divorce because my mom cheated on my dad
-my brother (I am VERY close to him) has been on and off drugs and was sent to an insane asylum and Juvinille detintion center for aggravated assault.
-My brother got his girlfriend pregnant and they ran away together. He recently came back and is under house arrest.
-My dad really dislikes my mom but my mom is really ditzy and thinks life is fine right now.

and there's more. I'm not saying all of this for pity, I'm really not. I'm sick of pity, because I've probably got it better then most people out there. But apparently I am my family's therapist or something because everyone talks to me about everything. I'm only 14! My dad tells me how much he doesn't like my mom, my mom tells me how screwed up my brother is (which is bull, because she never talks to him and doesn't even know him that well), and my brother tells me all of his thoughts. I love him to death, but his thoughts are scary, even to him. He's extremely screwed up, and he knows it. He's told me so many things and I just feel like he needs real help. I can't say what he's told me, because he trusts me, but I will say he's very bipolar, he's very depressed, and he's suicidal. I could not live if he killed himself, I'm afraid I would lose it. He's described to me very graphic things he's thought about. I just don't know if I can handle any of this stuff anymore. Everyone's always known me as the optomistic person who gives advice, but I don't know what to say when it comes to all this.

All of this makes me continuously think back to my childhood and miss it. It actually hurts to think back to then, remembering how great it was then. There's just so much going on right now, I feel like running away or something. Not because I'm running away from my problems, but because I want to run away from what's going to happen to all these people if they continue thinking the way they do.

And on top of all of these feelings, many of my best friends don't know what they're doing, because they come to me for advice too. Of course, their problems are quite minimal compared to my families, as most of them are just about typical teenage girl stuff, but it's still like adding leaves to the fire. Everyone comes to me for advice and no one just stops and helps themselves.

I just can't handle life anymore. Not meaning to sound suicidal, because I'm not. I also don't think I'm depressed. But I believe being so nostalgic might continue to hurt me until I am depressed. I feel like I'm wearing a mask, different for everyone I talk too and I can only be myself when I'm nostalgic. Please help, I'll rate you or whatever, I just need help.

:( it sounds like you've had a really rough time honey.
I think you best plan would be to start with your friends - I'm not sure whether you've told them about your problems. You can either talk to them about the stuff thats going on with you, or at least , tell them that you have stuff going on at home (you dont have to be specific) and ask if they would maybe back down on asking for advice for a while?
Then, you need to talk to your Mom and Dad. You need to tell them that while you appreciate that they both have problems - they have NO right to pile it all on you. Being 14, still in school, you should be more worried about boys, homework and friends. Obviously you care and want to be involved in your family, but you shouldnt be the advice giver for everyone. Hopefully once they hear what youre going through too - they will try and lift some of the wight off your shoulders.
If this doesnt work, try speaking to your guidance counselor at school or something, they will be able to help you, and could even talk to your parents for you.
Hope that helps sweetie, and good luck!
xoxo


do you guys prefer all the hair "down there" shaved off or just leave it alone? share your thoughts please.

thanks! :) (link)
Most guys arent bothered at all about what it looks like. Keeping it tidy is always good though - its not necessary to shave it all off!
Hope that helps xoxo


Ok, so i had a sleepover w/ 2 frannds. and i want to put there pics on myspace and like talk about them. but i dont know how. i know there is a wesite, thanks in advance. (link)
You can upload your pictures on myspace. Go to the pictures section, and click 'upload'. Theyre easy instructions to follow :D

Ok. I'm sorry if I make this akward but my boyfriend, nathan, sometimes pressures me into things I don't really want to do. I really love him and I have never felt this way about anyone. I don't want to break up with him but he pressured me into having sex in his friends house and now I feel like a slut. He males me feel that way sometimes and everything is always bout sex. He loves me and he cares slot bout me but idk what to do! Someone please help me!!! I'm a girl and I'm 13 (link)
First of all, you are really young to be thinking about having sex. In a lot of countries you have to be 16 and older to have sex, by law.
You should NEVER have to do anything you dont want to do, just because someone else is pressuring you to do it, particularly when it comes to your body. It definately sounds to me like he is really only concerned about having sex, and doesnt seem to care that he makes you feel like a slut. I understand that you have a lot of feelings for him, and especially if you have never felt like that before, it is hard to see that what he is doing is wrong.
You need to tell him exactly how you feel. If he laughs it off, then you need to decide whether he is worth your time.
You deserve to be treated so much better than this - sex is a very personal thing, and no one should ever be forced to do it before they are ready.
Hope that helped, and good luck! xoxo


Alright. This will be long. Brace yourselves. I started seeing this guy over the summer and it started out as a fling. I am a senior in high school and he is a senior in college. He lives 10 minutes away from me, but he goes to college across the country. When we first started seeing each other, both of us thought it would be just a fun hook-up thing, and nothing more, especially because of our 4-year age difference. We both thought when summer was over, that would be that, and we'd never see each other again.

Turns out, we liked each other more then we expected. We texted and messaged daily for the past few months while he was away at college, and we told each other how we couldn't wait to see each other again. A couple of weeks ago he came home for winter break. We hung out almost every day, and he even met each other's families. Plus, he wanted to introduce me to his brother and friends which I see as a good sign. We admitted to each other that we like each other a lot. He isn't one to say cheesy or corny things and he is always honest, so when he says he likes me, I know he means it. I love seeing him and he loves seeing me. The age thing doesn't phase us anymore, either.

We'd go out and have fun and we'd stay in and have fun too. We basically can't get enough of each other. He left a few days ago to go back to school and it made me sad. I even cried a little, but not in front of him. Neither of us like saying goodbye. We're still contacting and I assume we will every day just like before when he was away. He will come back in a few months for spring break and then again for summer vacation not long after. I'm assuming we will still be seeing each other throughout all of that time.

Don't get me wrong, though, we are not technically dating, like boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess you would say we are seeing each other. Maybe dating. Just not "officially". Because of this, I don't know if he is hooking up with other girls or not. He doesn't know if I'm hooking up with guys either. I wouldn't, though, and I don't think he would either. It's kind of an unspoken thing. I just... trust him. And since we're not technically dating, I guess I couldn't get mad if he hooks up with some girl anyways.

Sorry, I'm getting a little off track. The thing is, I really think I am falling for him. I have learned from experience not to put my heart on the line and jump into things, so for me to say that I am falling for him is a pretty big thing. I look at guys at my high school and i just have absolutely no interest. However, I'm going to college next year, and I want to have fun. I'm not saying I want to go and hook up with guys nonstop, but I want to have the fun college experience that everybody should have. But, at the same time, I don't want to ruin my chances with him. I'm worried that I'll decide to forget about him and have fun in college and then realize that he is the only one I want to be with. I don't think I could forget about him, though.

Also, I don't know what he is going to think when I go to college. I don't know if he will assume it is over or what. I want to stay with him but i don't want to miss out on college experiences. It's so hard! I need help. I know it may have seemed unnecessary for me to include all of that text, but I think background info. is important. Thanks so much. I appreciate it! (link)
You definately need to talk to this guy, and make sure you both know where you stand with eachother.
It is very possible to have awesome college experiences, and still have a boyfriend who isnt there with you. I'm doing it - and it is hard sometimes, but it can be done.
However, you need to make sure that this is what you both want - because if one or both of you doesnt, then it will cause problems in your relationship.
It sounds like you have amazing chemistry with this guy, and I know how hard it is to decide whether or not you think it'll last through a big change like going to college. Sometimes it is better to have a clean break, and start afresh when youre meeting new people, but it is also really great to keep other people in your life.
You ultimately need to talk to him and see where you both stand...and go from there.
Good luck! xoxo


i was unresponsible and had unprotected sex. when should i take a pregnancy test? i know 5 days before your missed period but i don't really understand because i don't know if i'm like going to miss it for sure. i'm almost positive i'm not, i just want to be totally sure. (link)
It depends on the kind of test that you buy. Some say that you can take them whenever during your cycle. Others, you have to wait until just before or after the date you are meant to get your period. I'd go into the pharmacy and either ask the pharmacist for help, or make sure to read all the packaging, to make sure you buy the one you are most comfortable with.
Hope that helps! xoxo


i'd really like to do something nice for my boyfriend, just because. something that doesnt cost a lot but means a lot.
i've made him a cd for him before of all the songs that remind of us each other.. and for the front and back cover i custom designed it with pictures of us. he loves it.. he listens to it everytime he's in his car.

i really want to do something else like that for him because he's such a great boyfriend and i want him to know how much he really means to me.
any ideas?
thanks a bunch! :) (link)
I think making something is probably the best plan..its a lot more personal.
I had this problem a few months ago, and I decided to cook my boyfriend a big dinner, with all the food he really likes. I served it on a fancy table, with candles and everything. He really loved it, and its something that both of you can enjoy, and make memories together. You could also make him a really nice card, and leave it in his locker, or some place where he'll find it when you're not around. Or perhaps a little 'treasure hunt' of different things...to lead him to you!
hope that helps xoxo
