Well if u had penetrative sex where as a male has put his penis in your bagina then you have lost your virginity. Not all women bleed because often the hymen which is the thin layer of skin which covers the cervix is often broken due to sports or other activities before a girl has sex. When the hymen is broken is what causes the cmall amount of bleeding. It may be that your hymen was already broken or that the sex yohad was not deep enough to cause the hymen to break. Normally first time sex is not that pleasurable. That doesnt mean its necessarily unpleasant but since all women are different, we all require different types of stimulation to achieve pleasurable sensations from sex. In time and with experience you will discover what works for you. And remember, the best sex is safe sex. clarimonde Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:00:35 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/virginity_32 85687 Re: Am I obese? Lets face it you arent going to lose the weight before school start but you can turn things around and start this new school year with anew attitude towards your health and the way you take care of your body. First of all, diets don't work. They arent sustainable. You need to learn a new way of eating for life. That means lots of vegetables, fruits, beans and small portions of leans meats and fish. Stay away from dairy (except maybe occasional low fat cheeses and yoghurts) and fried foods and sweets. Give your self one day a week to have a few indulgences like a cheeseburger or something so you arent totally deprived of these "fun" foods. Learn to like eating lean and healthy and you will feel fantastic. Your skin and hair will glow and you will start losing weight! Also, start exercising. Start with just 20 mins a day of brisk walking or try to get more involved in gym class. If you dont like that try pumping weights which relly raise your metabolism and help u burn fat. You can turn things around now. You just need to take the first step. We're here for you if u need support! clarimonde Thu, 16 Aug 2007 01:15:14 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_think_i_am_obese 85553 Re: How can I be sure single version? what? clarimonde Thu, 16 Aug 2007 01:06:43 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_can_i_be_sure_single_version 85552 Re: Will Miley Cyrus go to Dubie?

I worked in an offfice and we had a scorpion problem. We called a local exterminator and they laid "scorpion paper" which is like sticky paper they lay in corners and dark places which traps the buggers and kills them. clarimonde Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:42:19 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/do_i_have_a_scorpion_problem 83817 Re: What is the best shopping card? What do you mean by a shopping card? My advice is to avoid store cards at all costs because they have terriblyhigh interest rates. SHop around with different banks or with credit companies like Marbles, etc and see which can offer you the lowest interest rate. The very best advice I can give you though is to just pay cash. Dont get caught up in the credit card black hole of debt. clarimonde Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:40:25 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_the_best_shopping_card 83816 Re: Will Miley Cyrus go to Dubie?

Doesnt sound like they are infected, just irritated probably. Keep them clean using Hydrogen Peroxide and keep rotating the earring posts. Watch for any discharge from the hole. You'll prob be fine in a few days. clarimonde Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:15:25 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_do_you_tell_if_your_ear_piercings 66824 Re: Should I have a baby when we both want one? Having a baby is a HUGE decision and no matter what people say, babies need more than love. A lot more. They need a home. Do you have your own home? (Im assuming you live with your parents. Do you think its fair to bring a baby into their house? It is THEIR house not yours). They take money and lots of it. Do you both have jobs to pay for the clothes, diapers, food, daycare, doctors bills. I get the feeling that you are expecting your parents to "Help you out" and thats not fair. Not to your parents and not to the baby. You have a lot of good breeding years in you. Most women stay fertile until their mid-40's. There are things you are going to want to do with your life and you are not going to have the freedom to do these things with a baby. You cant just get rid of a baby when you get bored or when you have other things to do. They keep growing and they need more and more and more from you. Remember they dont stay babies! Think about it. Do you want to be a 24 year old woman with a 10 year old to care for? Slow down. You are 14 yrs old and 1 guarantee you that your boyfriend is not going to be the love of your lofe. There is whole world out there to discover. Dont go screwing it up! I waited until 1 was 32 to have a child and Im so glad I did. clarimonde Fri, 22 Jun 2007 03:35:37 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_want_a_baby_4648 65341 Re: Who sings this rock song?

Dish soap is no worse for your hair than half he chemicals you put in it at the hairsalon to colour, perm etc. (or from Dandruff Shampoo for that matter which can be v harsh) It will help strip the colour. Ive done it and lived to tell the tale. clarimonde Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:32:20 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/ive_died_my_hair_black_i_really_dont 65167 Re: How can I get black dye out of my hair? Ths is going to sound weird but wash your hair with dish doap for a few weeks. This will help strip the colour. You'll want to use a good conditioner afterward because it will strip yourhair of moisture as well as colour. clarimonde Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:04:04 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/ive_died_my_hair_black_i_really_dont 65044 Re: How can I lose weight fast? 20 lbs in 6 weeks is not reasonable. 2 - 3 lbs a week is doable but its hard work. 1200 cals a day and at least 30 mins of cardio exercise a minimum of 5 days a week. No white flour or sugar. clarimonde Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:01:55 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/loseing_weight 65043 Re: What if I'm treated different because of my famous friends?

Not that bad really. I pierced my own nose twice by myself with a needle and a candle. Plus any pain is only temporary. Remember though that this part of your body can heal very quickly so its important to try and keep something in the hole to keep it open as much as possible. clarimonde Thu, 21 Jun 2007 03:59:26 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_bad_does_it_hurt_to_get_your 65041 Re: What's the right weight for me? http://ww.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm This might help clarimonde Thu, 21 Jun 2007 03:57:46 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/weight_crazy 65040
