Open Question: 19 year old girl, never had a boyfriend, never done anything?

Hi everyone, and I know this will be a long post, but thank you so much for everyone who have the patience to read through this and maybe even comment. And sorry for any miss spelling, english is not my first language. So, I'm a 19 year old girl and I live in a medium size city in Europe. I would say that I'm more than average looking girl, I have a nice body, I'm 172 cm (about 5'7), I have brown long hair, blue eyes and a beautiful face. Many random strangers have told me that I look like a model and I'm the most beautiful girl they've ever seen. I'm friendly, wise, cute and funny, though a bit shy. But here's the problem. I've never had a boyfriend. I've only kissed twice, both when I was like 9 years old, playing truth or dare. All my friends have had many boyfriends. I know I'm the only virgin within my friends. One time, I was at this party and this boy started talking to me, let's call him Daniel. I had never met Daniel before. Daniel was actually quite annoying, yet being smooth and giving compliments. He asked me to go to his place for the nigh. I said no. I thought about it in my head for a long time to actually go to his place and get it done, just to get rid of being the pathetic me. We left at the same time but going different ways. He asked me to give him my number and I did. He said he'd call me right in the morning. He didn't. Everytime that a somehow nice and good looking guy shows some interest in me, I immediately have a crush on them. Even with him, he was an annoying asshole who wanted nothing but sex. I was dissapointed that he didn't call, thinking about it for weeks after the party. Sometimes it feels like guys are afraid of me. I know there are guys who are interested in me right now, but they do nothing about it. And me being the shy person I am, I am definitely not going to do anything about it either. And when I'm at the bar, men hit on me. My friends tell me to just kiss any guy, it's just a kiss, no big deal. Well, for me it's not "just a kiss". When you have only have two kisses about ten years ago and now your 19, it quite a big deal. I don't want it to be with some drunken guy, but in the second hand, I don't want to wait any longer. Everyone is asking why in the hell am I single. "You could get any guy you want!" Yeah, doesn't really seem that way. It's killing me inside. And I seriously feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone. I feel like I've wasted my teen years being alone. What do you think about a 19 year old girl who has never had a boyfirend? And why do you think guys wont approach me? Only wanting to be one night stands?Thanks everyone for answering. Made me feel a lot better : ) more

Open Question: How do I lighten my natural red lips?

I just can go without my Revlon Matte 001 Nude Attitude lipstick. My lips are naturally red, and i want to lighten my lips, but not by using makeup.

Open Question: Teens :] i am getting a cartilage piercing, which ear and should i get a piercing on the other ear? short?

I'm a little fcuked up so my left ear is a little elf-ish and my right is a little folded over; i have pretty small ears too. I am about 5'4 and if that helps? I am wondering if i should get the cartilage on the left and then a lower piercing (lower cartilage/upper lobe) on the other one on the right or just the cartilage or the cartilage on the right? I want whichever would look cuter :] Should i get the gun or needle... which is less painful?

Open Question: Do you like my story so far?

Was I proud today or what! My new kitten that mum bought for me today is dead cute! It did two poopies! How sweet is that? It's toilet trained and everything, and it's ten weeks old! I could play with it all day! His name is Tiger since I think he's fierce. I was going to call him Prince but that sounds a bit stuck up, don't you think? He's also the colour black too! I just can't believe how small he is! Tiger isn't really that all fierce, but he's playful and I love his fire orange eyes so the best name I could think for him is Tiger. I'm writing in my diary at the moment, how cool? I've always wanted one and mum bought me one today as a suprise. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful and all that, but the kitten has came to me as more of a suprise. Anyways, since I've described Tiger, shall I describe me? I'm Skye and this is my ultra cool, totally fabbity fab diary all covered in pink! I'm 13 years old and I have medium length hair. I don't exactly know how tall I am, the only thing I can really tell you is 7 months ago when I went Kids Kingdom, the lady thought I was too tall so she asked me if I could stand beside the long ruler thing, so I did. It only went up to 5'1 and I was 5'2 and a tiny bit more, but she let me in. I don't know if I have grown any more, I've never really thought about it. I don't know my weight either, I just eat and eat all I like! I'm not fat though, nor dead skinny. I'm slim! Which is good. If anyone was fat in our school they'd seriously get bullied, like Freddie. They take the mic and call him Freddie Frog like them chocolates you get for 15p at the shop. One time, this bully Michael caught him buying 3 Freddie Frogs and he got teased for a whole eight months - even longer. I feel sorry for him, but if I do anything I'll get bullied too, so I best stay back. Tiger is asleep at the moment, he is only an average hand size! He tends to purr alot, which is so cute. It even gets me to sleep. I hope Tiger will be a good cat when he grows up, I love him ever so. I don't want him to be a scruffy cat who always hangs out at alleys and eats food out of the bin! I can just imagine. Tiger and these other alley cats all fighting for a stinky piece of small fish covered with flies. Something I wouldn't like to see; especially knowing that Tiger has luxaries back home here. Cat treats, special cat milk, a bed and a huge scratching post castle. When mum came home with all of this I was thrilled! And I'll write more later. But do you like it so far? It's based for teens and children so I understand if adults don't like it. (I'm 13, girl.)Thank you everyone who is being so honest. I understand everything your saying about my grammar being bad and I'm sorry about that, it's just I'm not in school anymore (long story) & you can't be ultra kind about this kind of thing otherwise I wont learn anything, so thanks for being honest. I know that I didn't have paragraphs but I did that on purpose since alot of books I read don't have them. I know the character Skye, who's 13, seems to be childish when I wrote it, I'll change her age. I know I shouldn't have used alot of these ! When I was writing it, but don't worry, I came out with everything right there and then so when I really do make this story come to life, I'll make sure everything's correct in the future. Thank you :). more

Resolved Question: What are the pros and cons of being a good girl vs. being a teenager?

I am just wondering what would be beneficial and what wouldn't be (pros/cons) to being a good girl (no bad language, no partying, etc), or being a regular teen (parties, makeup, drama (in high school), etc). Is there a happy medium? Or, if not, which is better? Thanks to all who answer! :) more

Voting Question: Why don't teenagers read newspapers?

I have recently decided to address a problem with media, itself: Why don't teenagers read newspapers? In my recent studies it can be concluded that only 16% of the age group between the ages of 18 to 30 read newspapers and out of that only 9% percent belongs to teenagers. With this I have decided to become a teen columnist. However I don't think that my argument has that certain spunk that certain punch! If so can anyone provide a few key points. Please No arrogant answers. more

Resolved Question: Would i fit in an extra small at Abercrombie and Fitch?

Open Question: Cute, Good Car For Teen?

Resolved Question: Teens why do some skinny people hate fat people?

This Y/A user (I wont mention her name) hates fat people all together and here is what she said belpw Because if someone doesn't have enough respect to take care of their own health, than I don't see them as being a good influence in my life. I don't want to be around un healthy people as I am trying to get/stay healthier. The thing is, being fat is usually something you can control, you can't choose your race, your height, whether you have a mental illness or not. Smokers/drinkers get a lot of crap to, it's "cool" when your in high school, then it's just pathetic once you get out. So to make this short, I care about my own health, I don't want the media trying to tell me it's ok to be unhealthy when it is not, I don't want to be around un healthy people who are going to rub off on me and make me un healthy. I mean not everybody in america is going to be 100% healthy and I know that, we just have to take obesity one day at a time AM I RIGHT? more

Open Question: To anyone who's ever bought from Delia's...?

How do the sizes run? I wan to order a swimsuit (it's a "web and catalog exclusive", so I can't try it on), but I've never even been to the store and I'm not sure which size to order. I'm very skinny, 5'4, and am usually a size small in "teen" stores (like Charlotte Russe and in most junior sizes in department stores). Should I order a small, extra small, or a medium? And to anyone who has bought a swimsuit from there- are they good quality? Also, do you think I can return an item I've ordered online? I'm debating between two swimsuits and want to order both of them and chose which one I prefer. Can I send the other one back and receive a refund for the shipping cost, or can I at least return it to the store, even if it's a sale item? If you don't know, just answer the first question. Thanks guys!! more

Voting Question: 13 year olds having sex?

Ok. Im a bit concerned. Ive been on answers for awhile now and have been reading alot of young teens having sex and sometimes even getting pregnant! This scares the crap out of me. Im 21 yrs old. Married, both of are done with college and on our feet. Im pregnant with our first baby. At 13 years old sex was the furthest thing from my mind and didnt really become something i seriously considered till i was 17 and in highschool with my bf of 3 years. I was on birth control and well educated about sex by then, Thanks to my parents and sex ed class that took the time to educate me. Im scared because Im expecting my first!!! What is happening with the world? Is it tv, music, media, less supervision?! Why is this happening and how can we "protect" our children from making such unwise choices at such an immature age? Does anybody understand where I am coming from with this? more

Voting Question: 13-16 year old having sex??!!!!?

Open Question: Why does everyone make such a big deal about sex?

i mean its everywhere, but i swear i dont understand why its such a big deal. people act like its the ONLY thing in the world. im not saying it isnt good or even great, but in the end its just one aspect of living, not the whole reason FOR living. im getting sick of the media pushing this, like its the only thing worth seeing. you cant escape it, even on TV or in movies. i dont mind a little sex appeal, but nowadays, they have gone overboard and im just tired of it. there is so much more to life then haveing sex. i think people have been blinded by the media and thats why there are so many unwanted teen pregancies and horribleness in the world. they forget to say that if you wanna play you gotta pay. anyway, anyone else tired of this like i am? more

Open Question: Child Abuser vs. Loving Pedosexual. Can your scientific reasoning overcome your emotional response?

These days in our society we are frequently told certain definitions which we are all required to accept. While I will not attempt to dispell certain "truths" that many of us are taught over the course of our lives from birth to our early 20's(the average age here) I will certainly do what I can for those whom I feel are unrepresented and gravely misunderstood in our society. First of all...a few facts... The Homosexual Movement once had a leader name Harry Hay whom some of you may have heard about recently in the news in reference to Kevin Jennings who is an official in the Obama Administration. While I won't comment on that right it is important to remember that Harry Hay wore a shirt proclaiming his support for NAMBLA which said "NAMBLA walks with me" during the early pride marches. Unfortunately due to the unspeakable actions of a few members of the minority group Mr. Hay expoused support for the gay cause was forced to sever its ties in order to further its mission. While I sincerely wish this hadn't been necessary I understand it. However, these days the APA is considering rearranging the dsms or certain sexual attractions to which society cannot abide to meet current scientific findings and pedophilia is under discussion. Whereas once they were a 1(considered most extreme) they are now a dsm 4. After they complete level 5 they will no longer be considered a mental disorder and social acceptance can finally begin. It is important to note that this is the EXACT same manner in which homosexuality became acknowledged. Now think about this. Only 5% of those adults attracted to minors ever actually experience an intimate encounter with them yet the media and just about anyone you talk to makes no distinction between child abuser and pedophile! Where is the science??? Answer. It isn't there plane and simple. In fact the vast majority of those who commit crimes against children aren't even primarily attracted to them in the first place. Another interesting fact. Numerous studies demonstrate that many encounters young people have had with adults show these encounters to not only be negative but in many cases positive. Why is this not being said in the same breath as all the lies we're told regarding sex offenders many of whom are young people who are merely teen-agers with the oldest one in the relationship not even being 18? Ruth Bader Ginsberg of the U.S. Supreme Court has clearly stated that she believe the legal age of consent should be 12. Google it guys. She said this in 1977 while she was a member of the ACLU. Numerous Dr.'s including Fred Berlin, Fritz Bernard, Green, Kinsey and others have advanced our cause with their research. Ok so now you know my position...or do you? Bear this in mind folks. My personal orientation is based on years of pain, suffering and confusion. However I now know that(thankfully) my personal attraction is legal in a great many U.S. States and in many parts of the world but that doesn't stop me from acknowledging the science that goes towards benefitting all those out there who have such miserably difficult lives based on their attractions which according to(Rethinking Pedophilia 2003) they cannot control. If I ever witnessed or became aware of a non-legal relationship between a young person and an adult I would either take physical action to stop it or contact someone with the power to do so as I'm sure you would. Love guys...always love... Friend of Alice more

Voting Question: What's your thoughts on media?

Politics aren't what they used to be; and though I'd already realized this, I didn't comprehend the true issue. Yes, though us teens don't really pay attention to politics anymore-Facebook is way more important, of course-we are all still aware that they aren't making the best choices out in the White House. Now, this may be a far-fetched idea, but could it be because America is only choosing handsome, or at least slightly decent-looking, people for the most crucial jobs in government? As Postman says on page 4 in Amusing Ourselves To Death, "we may have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology as the field of expertise over which a politician must have competent control". Basically, Schwarzeneggers' are being placed where Clintons' and Kennedys' should be instead. When society gets to the point where even politicians need to be surrounded by makeup artists, something is obviously wrong. Now my question is: does the public recognize this, or are they just choosing to ignore it? more

Resolved Question: Is it just me or do a lot of teens seem to lack a mind of their own?

Seriously, all the media most of them consume is the same, and it's all garbage! Lady GaGa, Justin Beaver, Twilight, Jersey Shore, ect.

I listen to music I like, I watch shows on TV I enjoy, and no matter what I DO NOT let other people control me with peer pressure. It's not that hard! Why is that?! more

Resolved Question: What's a good dog breed for me?

I live in a two-floor house with four people, all of whom are related to me and are above their late teens (I'm a teenager). Our house is quite spacious. Our backyard is about medium size with quite a few flower beds that can't be dug up. The person who would be at home most to care for the dog would be my mum who is only away from 9 am to 1 pm weekdays, however sometimes my dad works from home and we plan to get the dog in the holidays so we can spend time with it when it's little. It would get at least one thirty minute walk a day, less if that's what it needs. This would be our first time owning a dog.

This is in reference to the football match tomorrow, USA vs England in the World Cup. I'm not asking which country is better because that could spark world war 3 lol, but who d'you want to win the match? I live in Scotland, and England are the "auld enemy" lol, so I'll be supporting the USA, nothing against England in general, I just dislike their football media So, who are you wanting to win?England certainly have better players and are more a footballing nation, but I certainly wouldn't write off the USA pulling off a shockJavier why did you put soccer in capitals? The real name is foootball, it originated here in Scotland and we named it football so...To be honest Chloe you're probably right, it wouldn't surprise me if the roar is bigger in Scotland than in the USA if they score xD more

Resolved Question: What Would You Think Of Me With Blue Hair?

i've never been normal. so it really wont come as a shock to my friends. but i noticed when i dyed my hair bright red i got lots of odd looks from people. like i was some rebel teen or good for nothing yob or something trying to act like a stereotype. that is the opposite of my personality. i am a bit of a rebel but only in the way that i'm different and i like to be fresh and new. i mean we all want to stand out. but really i'm sweet and imaginative and an art orientated person i'm of skinny to medium build (size 8 uk and i think a size 4 in the states) my hairs shoulder length but i'm growing it out to waist length i'm pale at the moment but i might be heading to Turkey this summer what do you think i'll look like with blue hair and what would your first impression of me be? more

Resolved Question: Should there be a age limit on fame and celebrity status?

Should a child (say under the age of 16) be able to be famous? I understand that it can't really be controlled. Once you've gained the attention of the media celebrity status usually isn't far behind. But theoretically, if I was something that could be turned on and off, should it be allowed for children and teens? Isn't it likely to have a adverse effect on their development into a healthy adult?@Nox: Lol! I wondered if you'd pick up on this one. The character limit wouldn't let me write it all. It was Michael Jackson and Drew Barrymore that came to mind for me. more

Resolved Question: Teens who straighten their hair?

Resolved Question: Is "Twilight" really just Mormon propaganda?

Okay, listen. I love Twilight. I really do. It's like a guilty pleasure for me, same with Harry Potter. But I'm also a university-educated feminist and atheist and this argument that the Twilight saga is actually just Mormon propaganda is pretty convincing (keep in mind that Stepanie Meyers, the author of the Twilight Saga, is a Mormon): "The book's critics claim that the novel is thinly disguised Mormon propaganda, designed to make the questionable beliefs and practices of the cult/religion attractive to impressionable young teens and tweens. The Mormon Church promotes abstinence and young people are encouraged to fight temptation and resist the pleasures of the flesh just as Edward Cullen and his pale-faced family resist the temptation to savour the blood of humans. Is the Cullen family's abstinence from sucking the blood of vulnerable humans really a metaphor for not having sex? Does the God-like Edward Cullen, with his superhuman speed and strength really represent the man turned into God that Mormon believe is the destiny of those that follow their teachings? And just as Bella succumbs to the charms of Edward and eventually gets turned into a vampire herself so she can be with him "forever and ever and ever", is the book really encouraging young girls to submit to the men in their lives?" "What it may do is make them more open to the idea of the Mormon faith when they come across it later... they might be led to believe that 'something about it feels familiar' or even 'right'." Source: http://www.thoughtzone.net/is-twilight-mormon-propaganda/ It doesn't seem absolutely outrageous to me. No other religion has as many missionaries as the Mormon Church and they seem to be extremely vocal in their beliefs, influencing everything from politics to popular culture. I live in a medium-size city by Toronto in Canada and there are full-time missionary workers that claim they are from Utah who approach me EVERY SINGLE time I go downtown. Brandon Flowers, lead singer of The Killers (my favourite band), is also a practicing Mormon and a lot of hidden religious doctrine is hidden in their songs (i.e. "Spaceman"). I love them anyways but I mean, you can't really deny the Mormon's widespread influence. So what do you think, is Twilight Stephanie Meyer's way of softening Mormonism? more

Resolved Question: What should I do!!??? Laptop or Ipod?

Hi, I need help deciding whether I want an Ipod touch or a new laptop. I had an ipod nano but it was stolen the day I got it...:((((.... Yeah, so I was hoping for a netbook...but I had a few questions about it: 1. Does it have USB ports for a wireless broadband device (usb) and printer? 2. Can Windows be its operating system? 3. If so, can it have Windows Media Player and Microsoft Office? 4. Can they be easily carried? For example, in my bag or purse? If I want an Ipod Touch, I would like to know... 1. How does wi-fi work? I only have an internet USB...can that work? No, my neighbours do not have wireless routers... 2. Obviously, it must be easily portable, but is it damaged easily? For example if it drops off my bed? So, should I get a netbook or a regular HP laptop? is there any color option or skin for these laptops? What version is easily manageable by a teen like me...and by teen I mean thirteen year old girl... I have an HP laptop, which I'm using but my dad gave me an extremely difficult option....please help... Thank You! more
