ok... i'm a 16 year old girl and have always been a "good" kid, never gotten drunk, virgin, never done drugs. why is it that all i want to do now is exactly the opposite? i think i feel that i've been too "good " for 2 long. but i know i shouldn't do any of those things at my age...

I would like to do crafts at home with my daughter. She is pretty smart for her age, so anything that would be suitable for up to a 21/2 yr old, would probably work. We are on a budget, and I am not that "crafty" to begin with. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Did you feel bad and cut it down after you had time to think about it.

You're getting ready to go to the grocery store and ask your kids (boy-4 and girl-6) to put their jackets and stuff on. When you get to the store, the boy takes off his jacket in the cart and is wearing a bright neon pink sweater with flowers all over it. He obviously put it on when he put his jacket on and most likley belongs to the sister. Would you ask him to take it off? Make him take it off and actually pull it off of him and put his jacket back on him if he wasn't wearing anything under it? Or would you go about your buisness because after all, it's just a sweater?

Btw, this isn't about me. I saw a lady freaking out today at the store. I made up the first part of the story assuming that, that's how it went down before she freaked out.

To decide what time to come home?

Im 18 and a girl and right now its x-mas break and I don't go back to school till the 3rd, don't you think Im old enough to decide if I should be able to stay out later with my friends who are 18 and 23 instead of rushing home around 12 or 12:30?
My friend who is 23 and a guy works at a radio station from 7 till 11:40 or 12 and we hang out with him there, sometimes he and my other friend who is also a guy go back to his apt and chill, watch tv and attempt to make food, I got to hang out with them late once but Im always the one to have to go home.
Wouldn't it make more since to hang out with them till about 1 or 130, the latest 2, which is the latest everyone goes home, instead if sitting at home miserable ?
I dont plan on doing this when I have school or every single friday, just when everyone hangs out after my friend gets off work. We usually go hang out at work with him and then go get food and go hang out at his place and he only lives 5 minutes away from me.

Since it is break, my mom and bro haven't been going to bed early and are typically up pretty late so its not like I would waking them up coming in.
My mom wants me home around 12 or 12:30, so Im home and she doesn't have to worry about me. I know she cares about me but its time to let go a little. I rather be with my friends than at home wishing I could be with them.

I know just sitting around watching tv and eating doesn't sound like that much fun, but these guys are my closest friends and time spent doing anything with them is fun. We don't drink over there, atleast not me and the other 18 year old and I don't have to worry about them taking advantage of me. The 23 year old respects women and Im just friends with the 18 year old.

So if my mom knows where ill be, who ill be with and till when, why can't I hang out with them later?

She left him once was really poor and struggled and went back to him. She tells me she will leave when she is finished with school. I think the main reason she wont leave bc her daughter is autistic and hard to deal with. She is always stressed and unhappy..Please be nice

I've read on here about people saying the NICU where their baby was, only allowed mothers to be there certain times of the day. When my son was in the NICU, my husband and I were allowed there 24 hours a day. From 8 am until 10 pm, the babies were allowed 2 visitors at a time, with approval from mommy of course.

My son was in 2 different NICU's. The first, he was with other babies born with birth defects, or babies going through withdrawals from drugs. After that, he was put in the NICU with the preemies.

Can anyone who had babies in the NICU tell me what the visitor situation was in the hospital with your baby?

Is there a way? or a better way??? I just find it so strange as to why some people get pregnant all of a sudden after marriage or even before marriage. Can someone give me some tips or advice?

Me and my husband would appreciate it so much...

Ok, so I woke up at 10 pm to find that somehow my husband has waded through two big bottles of antacid and didnt bother to let me know we were out. I am wondering what some home remedies are because I really need some relief and don't want to have to get up and go to the store at midnight now!! I read on one website that yogurt might help so I tried that. I cannot believe I ate Taco Bell for dinner last night.... that was really really stupid. I am 26 weeks so it has to be something safe for being pregnant. Thanks!!

I'm 14, and I see all my friends being allowed to watch R rated films. I just don't think it is fair. can anyone think of a clever way to convince them?

2007-12-30 16:27:32 · 16 answers · asked by faris 2 in Adolescent

please answer truthfully, and explain why. I'm asking this because my parents don't allow me to watch these films while the majority of my friends are alowwed.

Do any of you have PCOS? Has it greatly affected your life? Have you had children? What was done for it to be possible? Any treatments? Do you have any advice for someone who has PCOS?

I've been thinking about this for awhile. I am serious about my question and truly want to know what you think. Are there people on here who are asking questions to bait people into answering so that others can come on and tell them how wrong they are? In other words, are some using this as their personal way of debating or attacking views that differ from their own? Or are the questions being asked for valid reasons and wanting everyone to answer?

Reasons I ask this are: the blocking that occurs; the "calling out" that occurs; the overuse of thumbs up/thumbs down for no legitimate reason; the amount of reporting that occurs, etc. I say I'm *serious* about my question because I want to be here to offer answers only if my opinions/knowledge are truly what is being sought.

I am starting to grow more now do you think that I might get my period when I am 13 or maybe 14?Please help me becasue now I think that I might not. Hey is it true that you can get your period up to the age of 18? That is what someone said when I was looking this up on the internet. Hey you know what my neighbor had her period at this age and she said it doesn't hurt but that it is a pain in the ***. So is it?

I was on the patch for three years, and just switched to the pill since there are so many issues with the patch, which I never experienced. I LOVED the patch. Oh well.
I've been on Yaz for 2 weeks, and have been spotting the last six days. Before Yaz, I tried Seasonique...and I was a complete Lunatic! On Yaz, I'm nice, but spotting. What else is out there? Help!!! Please.

Ladies - when did you notice your nipples getting darker? And how did it occur? For instance... it seems as though my areolas are getting darker but only near the "rim" where the nipple meets the actual skin... Did this happen to you all or was it a gradual darkening of the entire area?

I am wondering what the general feeling is. We have a 4 month and 2 year old. We have zero romantic time. like 5 times in 07. Granted she wazs preggers for 9 months. However, we have had 2 times since August. Yes I know kids etc. She gets up early with the kids and I stay up late so she can sleep. Howevr, she goes to bed at 900/1000 pm\. It seems like she does not care.
We have been arguing a fair amount the last couple months. I.E. on Christmas at my parents house our son was out of control. I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him 3 feet onto the carpet. She snapped and yelled" you wont drag my son by his arm we arent hillbillys" This was done in fromt of both my parents. I felt like she had no respect for me.
That along with her never making time for US. I have been on vacation now for 9 days and not once has she tried to stay up with me or even make time for us!
I know I got a alot of issues here.
Help
