Will my gums heal from me not brushing my teeth for a while?
So as embarrassed as I am to say this, but I've been on and off with brushing my teeth. Last week I brushed them 2x and the week before 1x. Yes, I know, very gross. But now I'm going to brush them 2x a day. My gums are a bit inflamed, when my tongue came across a part of my teeth, I thought there was food in it so I kept pickign at it, But it was a part of the gums. With a toothpick I accidetally picked underneath the gums and tooth. Then it started to bleed. Will this heal on its own if I brush my teeth 2x a day? How long will it take for my teeth to go back to good healthy condition? I have braces fyi
2 AnswersDental8 years agoGoing to wear the high socks for the first time :O I need help!?
So I've never really worn those high socks with shorts before. I'm kinda worried, because with it being a new style for me to wear, I'm worried people will judge me and be like "Why are you dressing like that?" and I won't know what to say. Any suggestions? Also, is there a certain leg type a guy should have when wearing them? I have kinda hairy legs (well, from my perspective they look hairy, but when I look in the mirror its barely visible, which do I believe?), will I still look good wearing them?
Alright, here are my questions. Please use the exact numbering:
1. Any suggestions and advice of what I should say if people comment? I'm kinda shy btw
2. Is there a certain leg type that would make them look good on me?
3. From my perspective, looking at my legs. They look hairy, yet when I look in the mirror, I barely see the hair. Which do I believe, the mirror view or my view?
4. Would that type of style look bad on a guy with noticeable leg hair? Will I still look good wearing them?
5. Do you think that Teenage guys look good in this type of style?
6. Do you have to be athletic to have this type of style?
*Incase you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about those half leg socks that go up half w y between your foot and your knee. most teenage guys are wearing them now. The style is usually Nike or something along those lines, they're usually black.
*I will also be wearing a pair of Jordans with the socks and shorts.
2 AnswersFashion & Accessories8 years agoInsecure about friendship?
So I feel insecure about me and my friends friendship. She a girl is 16 and I a guy is 17.
Idk why I feel so insecure, she always has to have her girlfriend with us whenever we hangout. But last birthday she made me a cake homemade with homemade fondant which I found heart warming, I'm just worried that she won't do anything for my birthday when I turn 18. Since the beginning of the year we've hung out a lot more, but we've known each other for like 5-7 years. Before that we never hung out now we do. Now we will maybe be "workout buddies" where it's just us exercising together.
But when I get older I will have to have a life saving lung transplant (due to CF). When this one kid got hurt he got a bunch if fb stuff that his friends wrote asking their friends to pray for him. But when my surgery comes (in like 29 years) how will I know my friend would write something? It worries me, what if she doesn't say anything or really even care? How can we stay friends in the future, that's also what I'm worried about? She said of course well be friends, and then she later said after back and forth text conversation, that you could stay at my house. Which really made me feel better but I'm still worried :/ help with the insecurity?

1 AnswerDental9 years agoMy friend just got a boyfriend, now I'm jealous and want a girlfriend. But how?!?
So my good friend, a girl, just got a boyfriend and for some reason I'm feeling jealous. I've never had a girlfriend (I'm a guy) and now I'm wanting one more than ever. Things just haven't gone the way I wanted, I was supposed to have a car by now but learned I won't get one till January/February of next year. Right now, I feel pretty ugly. Ive asked many questions on here pertaining to my looks, and ive been told I'm a 6/10 at lowest, but an average of what I've gotten was maybe 7/10 to 8/10. Homecoming is in a few weeks, and I have no money for that. But I am save up for the next school dance. I just started working out.
But how can I get the confidence to get a girlfriend and ask a girl out? Is it true most hot girls don't have a bf because guys are to intimidated? Other than the usual "be yourself" tip, any other useful tips? What do you look for in a guy?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoMy best friend got a boyfriend while I've never had a girlfriend?
Well, I wouldn't call each other best friends. But very very good friends. She has had 3 boyfriends while me (a guy) has never had a girlfriend. I've always wanted one, it's just that I have stopped myself a lot for a few reasons. I don't want a girlfriend until I pack on a nice amount of muscle (so then I feel like I Could defend her) and until my teeth are close to perfect. Those are the reasons why I've stopped myself. Now I'm really wanting one regardless. But I'm worried no descent looking girl would want me. My reputation at school is one of many. The gay kid (because when I was younger, like 3rd grade I was a major germaphobe. And because my voice isn't that deep). The weird kid (cause I talk a lot) the annoying kid (I talk a lot) the nice kid (I'm nice).
So I feel like all that has been stopping me from getting one. What do I do? I know I could get a girlfriend. But I don't want just any girlfriend. I want a girlfriend who I'm proud to show off and day she's mine (meaning I want a descent or hot girlfriend, not just a below average or ugly one).
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoHow many sprays can I get out of a 3.4 oz cologne bottle?

1 AnswerOther - Beauty & Style9 years agoNeeding help getting aroused?
So this is a "is this normal" type of question.
To start off, I am straight. But when I was younger, I would watch straight porn. So I felt bad because it was a sin, so I thought switching to gay wouldn't be a sin (my logic was, it's not bad seeing a naked guy in the gym showers or whatever so it's not a sin seeing him in porn). Now I am trying to switch to straight. I do get aroused from it, but I need a little assistance, as in it takes a few mins watching straight porn and it takes me playing with my penis a little longer. Whereas sometimes with gay porn, I get hard immediately.cis it normal to need a little assistance with getting aroused at straight porn?
Also, I don't like it as much as gay, because it seems really, really fake. So it makes it a little bit harder to get turned on by it. But I do. With a really well built guy (abs, pecs, etc) I tend to look or sometimes stare. But with a very beautiful girl (boobs, butt etc) I also stare. Is this normal?
One last question. Is it normal not to get hard looking at a girl clothed? Like, I appreciate a good butt and boobs, but I don't get aroused or anything.
5 AnswersMen's Health9 years agomy penis has been getting scabs on it and expelling wet liquid?
so about 1 month ago i ''pleasured'' myself with bodysoap. then about few days later i got a scab on my penis. guessing it was the body soap i just let it run its course. now i've been using tanning lotion to 'pleasure'' myself and about a week later another scab appears. so it dried up and then i pulled it. now a day later, liquid is coming out, it looks as if there is a layer of water on the skin where my scab used to be and im kinda worried now. i dont really know whats going on? do i have a std (virgin still)? the only thing ive been doing differently is using a neutrogena facial acne wash all over my body (id just wash with the facial rinse. well it doesnt say facial, it just says that it gets out impurities) and ive been pleasuring myself to tanning lotion cause i ran out of normal lotion. should i just start pleasuring myself to normal lotion and ask my parents to get me more lotion.

2 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoWould the store keep the video tapes of me stealing?
Let me tell you this before I start off, I havent stolen anything in about 3 months. Im recovering klepto and I'm gonna still gonna resist the urge. But now I'm wanting a job at one of the stores I stole from, but I'm worried of going back because they might recognize me or they might do something. So I stole from 2 different stores. Albertsons and Vons. Last time I stole from Albertsons and vons was in May. Do you think that they would have taken down the pictures of me (if they put them up in the first place) and do you think I'm in the safe zone? My dad says (he doesnt know I stole anything, but something came up about me using Febreze at the store and said its considered stealing) that stores wanna catch the thiefs in the act rather than use old evidence. Do you think i'd be safe to apply for a job at Vons or Albertsons? I understand they will keep an eye on me every time i go to the store, and thats why to prove to them that ive quit. after i stopped, i continued going there to actually buy their products instead of steal. everytime i went to those stores though (except one time i went to vons and lost 5 dollars there so i walked out with the stuff) I bought something, even when i was stealing i bought something. so it wouldnt look weird i went in without buying anything. so like id steal $30 worth of stuff and buy $5 worth of stuff. But am i safe? after i went there and stopped stealing i didnt get treated weirdly or anything. so after i stopped stealing from albertsons i continued going there. but after i stopped stealing from vons i never went back. after how long of time has passed would they get rid of the video tapes of me stealing and forget about me? like take down posters of me or just all around forget about me? i wanna start fresh this school year and stealing isnt on the agenda :)

4 AnswersHair9 years agoHow do I know what hairstyle looks best on me?
So I'm not really aiming for peoples opinions but general styles that look best on face shapes, structures, hair colour, and hair texture. Kinda like the science of what looks best on what faces. Like narrow, long faces or oval faces or circular faces etc. Any websites that can help guys with this issue? FYI I do not want a virtual face uploader where I upload my own picture of me.

1 AnswerRespiratory Diseases9 years agoLung transplant Surgery?
So I am kinda nervous, Because I have cystic fibrosis and my mom was saying how a lung trasnplant surgery is necisary for survival for my disease. I was reading the CF site and it said that survival after the surgery was getting better and better. but thats the thing thats scary. i could die after the surgery?! I am so scared for when that time comes. So lm gonna estimate i need a lung transplant surgery in 20 years. at the rate science and medical science is going. how would the survival rate look in 20 years? it says there are pills to make the body not reject the lungs, if you miss a day or two what would happen? also. is there any risk of dieing during the surgery? how much does this surgery cost? in about 20 years, how would the surgery look, survival rate, pills, surgery itself, etc? please no stupid answers. i am just scared right now.

6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agonot sexually attracted?
so im turning 17 in 4 days. And ive always wanted a girlfriend. but im kinda worried about something. Because im not sexually attracted to girls. guys say "oh wow shes hot", but id rather say "wow shes pretty/beautiful". I've wanted a girlfriend since i was 13. But never wanted sex. i do like the boobs or butt. but never interested in the vagina. I feel more sexually attracted to guys more so than girls and i dont know why. i really dont. id never want to date a guy, and in fact, i am against gay marriage. the thought of me growing old with a guy, sickens me.
I read online, that a group of scientists suggest to tell whether or not your straght or gay, is to ask yourself "who do i imagine growing old with". I imagine growing old with a woman. i truly do. i could never grow old with a guy. I also read that guys during puberty, might feel more attracted to guys sexually, because of all the hormones. I have a certain condition, which causes delayed puberty (im going to guess im 1-2 years late with puberty on everything).
So whats your thoughts? I feel no sexual attraction for women. but more of a physical and emotional attraction to women. Whereas i feel a sexual and physical attraction for guys.
