I know I already asked a question like this previously, but I am just extremely worried about it.

I had unprotected sex a few minutes before midnight August 6th, 2013. I am going to take a pregnancy test August 27th, 2013 since that will be 3 weeks after the incident (I have irregular periods). I am not on birth control and we did not do it for very long (like 5 minutes at most, not even) and he didn't go very deep (and didn't use a condom). I took Plan B at 3:30 on August 8th, 2013, which is about 40 hours after it happened. My period started Tuesday August 13th and ended yesterday. It was a bit lighter (not too much) and earlier than usual. Before that, I had this thick white (but not clear and stretchy) mucus that came out of my private part. If it helps any, my last period before the one I described was about the first week of July.

I have been having to urinate a lot and my breasts have felt a little sore (but not terribly sore). But otherwise then I have not experienced any other symptoms. If it helps any, I haven't been eating very much and have been losing some weight because I am so worried. I also have been drinking a lot of energy drinks and soda.

I haven't felt any extreme nausea or fatigue. I have lost a little motivation to do things, but because I am worried. No headaches or anything out of the ordinary either. My partner has a BMI of 17.2 and I have a BMI of about 18.

Any suggestions of how I can overcome this pregnancy scare? It is really starting to affect to to the point where I cannot concentrate because it is all I am thinking about.

Well, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex at midnight August 7, 2013/11:50 something August 6th, 2013. He didn't ejaculate inside of me, and we didn't do it for very long, like 5 minutes tops, maybe not even. He didn't go very far inside of me because it hurt. It was both our first time doing it. I was lying on my back. I took Plan B One Step August 8, 2013 at 3:30 in the afternoon, so that's about 40 hours after we did it and it says you should take it within 72 hours of having sex. (Stupid, I know, but I am not on birth control, either).

I haven't been experiencing any symptoms yet. I have been sore lately, but that's probably because I have been working the closing shift all week. I haven't gotten my periods, but I also do have irregular periods. My last period started on the 4th of July last month and I haven't had one since. I once had a period and didn't get another one for another 8 months. I also had one period and didn't get another one til 4 months. I am very short (barely 5'0) and weigh in between 90-95 pounds, which I heard can affect your ability to get pregnant (my BMI is about 18.5). The only time I have really felt nauseous lately is when I eat, and it goes away after 10 minutes or so. I don't have any cramps, headaches, etc or any fatigue or pregnancy symptoms like that. I suspect I haven't been getting my periods because I haven't been eating much. My breasts haven't felt sore or haven't gotten bigger that I have noticed, though I think the skin around the nipples may have gotten darker, but not by much. I don't need to urinate that much. I haven't had any mood swings or any strange cravings. So, in a nutshell, I feel perfectly normal and fine.

I feel I'm just being so paranoid and scared when signs point to me not being pregnant. My co-worker and boyfriend are both confident that I am not, yet I still worry. Please help. How do I overcome this pregnancy scare?

I plan to take a pregnancy test on August 27th in the morning, since that is 3 weeks after having unprotected sex and I have irregular periods. Would I get an accurate result? Please help! Thanks.

And what does this thick white mucus coming out from down there mean? It's happened twice since my bf and I did it. I can't stretch it very far before it breaks and it isn't clear if that helps.

My ex who I dated for 8 months and I ended very badly. I was suffering from depression during the latter part of our relationship, and was always sad, and sometimes snapped at him unintentionally. A lot was going on with our family's financial and emotional situation at the time that had a serious impact on me. I didn't want to keep bringing both him and myself down with my emotions. I needed to straighten things out. To do so, I went through counseling and joined speech and debate, which both brought much more joy into my life, as well as making new friends last year.

Well, I'm much better now and am no longer depressed. He doesn't realize I've changed a lot since our break up, which was a year and a half ago. I've tried multiple times to talk it out with him and be friends with him, but he absolutely refuses. I sent him a message on Facebook a week ago asking if we could work it out for the sake of the current circumstances, which in this case is being in an extra-curricular together, but no luck. And I know he read the message because there was a space under the message I sent that read, "Read Nov. 1"

I do not want him back as a boyfriend. He has a new girlfriend now, and I respect that, as well as her. She and I have known each other since 8th grade and have had classes together. I am not jealous at all.

But it absolutely kills me just to see him. The awkwardness, the hurt, everything. I just want our friendship before our relationship back. That's all I want. I just want to be friends!

My mom and school counselor have emailed my speech and debate coach about the situation so he will be on the lookout for any conflicts we may have, but I still want to tie up these loose ends that have been tugging at me for so long.

What should I do? And don't say quit. I love speech and debate too much, and plus I am an officer this year. Quitting would make me look foolish and I refuse to give up what I am passionate about just because of an ex.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

This summer I am attending a bowhunting camp. I have done archery before but have never actually hunted with a bow before. So I am a novice at it. I don't know which one I should start off with. Does it matter or not?

The equation is ,y = 6x^2 - x - 12 when the discriminant is -b -+ [b^2 - 4ac].

Note: the equation in the brackets is the square root and the -+ is adding and subtracting (there should be a line under the addition sign but I don't know how to make that.)

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. As my question states; can I get a job at 15 years old? When I turned 14, I applied practically everywhere I could with no success. Well, I have started volunteering more lately. Like, I currently volunteer at a resource center that provides foods, clothes, a shelter, and other necessities for people escaping abusive situations (it's called Bright Horizons, if you know what that is). I am going to look into volunteering at a nursing home sometime in the near future. Also, at my school, I am a peer tutor (I help people with their homework in my high school achievement center after school), so I sort of volunteer at my school that way. I also volunteer to do concession stands and other volunteer community types of things in a school optimist club. I have excellent grades (all A's and very few B's; made it on Honor Roll last semester) and am in some Honors classes (I am in 9th grade right now and will be in 10th grade this coming August). I am in some school clubs, including Speech and Debate, Mock Trial, Book Club, and the Optimist Club. I am very polite, and always be sure to say thank you, sorry, etc. and have very fast typing skills, people, and communication skills.

So, seeing as how I have many volunteer hours and a good reputation in and out of school, will this help me get a job, or will it matter at all?

By the way, I turn 15 June 7th. So, if I keep volunteering until then, will this give me enough volunteer hours to get the job?

I will name all the places in my town that I can think of that I could possibly get a job at to give you some ideas. Unfortunately, most people hire at age 16 and no younger here, but I've seen some classmates have jobs at 15 and I do have a good reputation. (I really need a job, so I am not going to be picky):

McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, Little Caeser's, YMCA, Local restaurants (The Granary, Prenger's, Whiskey Creek, and Barnstormer's, to name a few), Taco John's, Taco Bell, Culver's, the mall, Applebee's, Dairy Queen, KFC, Wendy's, Sonic Drive-In, Jimmy John's, Pizza Hut, Godfather's Pizza, local grocery store (Lou's Thrifty Way), Orange Julius, Pretzelmaker, clothing stores, and Papa Murphy's Pizza.

Sorry for this being so long. I appreciate all feedback. Thanks!

I feel stupid asking this question, but I am sick of being clueless when people always talk about football; games, players, the whole 9 yards of football, and with how popular it is nowadays, that is a lot. I need some suggestions on what football teams to like and look into. The only teams I really like at this point are the Green Bay Packers and Nebraska Cornhuskers (since I like in Nebraska).

Any suggestions or help for a rookie to football on how to get into good football teams? Thanks!

I broke up with my boyfriend today, but I do not know if it was for the right reason. First of all, the spark in our relationship died out. We used to talk on the phone for hours and hang out all the time, but then we totally stopped and barely kept in contact or had bonding time since we are both so busy. Like when we were on the phone which was basically never, all there would be on the phone is dead silence. And when we text, our conversations are fairly short. I talked to him about it at least twice, and nothing changed. I started feeling depressed since I lost my friends from the relationship then at first he was there for me a lot, then never really was. I was always sad and lonely even in the relationship and even started to miss my single life. I didn't wanna keep leading my boyfriend on because I honestly thought about breaking up with my boyfriend months before I did. Not only that, but our interests are different from one another. He is interested in the military and is more of a country and oldie music type, although he does like some of the same music I do. I am not interested in the military that much (have been thinking about it, but don't think I would pursue it. I like music that he is not really into, but we both like some of the same stuff like I said). But the interests part is not a reason why I did break up with him. It was mainly the stopped communication and hanging out. Plus our personalities and lifestyles are way different, so that also clashes. Like for example, I get depressed easily, and he will just joke and say, "Awwh, do you need a firm pat on the shoulder?" then will pat me on the shoulder, and I don't like it. I have told him to stop, but he doesn't and says it is habit. And I did not even really know or feel open with his family, and he always felt awkward around my mom. I didn't feel that comfortable telling him my deepest, darkest secrets. But the relationship was honestly tearing me apart, although he is a very sweet guy and I do love him. But as they say, if you truly love someone, you will let them go.

Did I do the right thing? It is really bothering me as to whether I did or not...

(By the way, we are both 14 year olds in 9th grade and dated for 7 1/2 months. Would have been 8 months on the 25th if I were still with him.)

I don't know what to do. I am stuck in a pretty deep rut.

My boyfriend, first and furthermost, does not text, call, or hang out with me much. The only time we really do talk and hang out is in school, and on VERY RARE occasions, weekends or after school. And when we do text, our conversations are fairly short. When we do call, which is basically never, it is mostly silent. I try texting him, but he usually doesn't answer for a while and the conversations are still short. I have tried talking to him several times about it, but nothing has changed. I mean, I am fairly busy with homework and school activities, and he is busy with chores and with other events. We're basically too busy for each other. And honestly, I have thought about breaking up with him awhile ago, because the pain of the relationship has hurt me so much. I lost basically all my friends because of it and am very lonely, because my boyfriend is not there enough for me. There are little things that are holding me back, such as it being awkward in school and youth group when I am around him. I am not very committed and do not really want it to be a relationship anymore. When we hang out, it is always the same thing over and over again usually, which is mostly making out and kissing. He also kids around a lot and since I am a sensitive person, it really bugs me. I mean, it makes me laugh 1/3 of the time, but not that much. He says he is interested in the military (which I a not) and he has different interests than me. He treats me well and is not abusive though. He does say I love you and hugs, kisses, and touches (in an affectionate, not sexual, way) me. He buys me things the few times we do hang out, such as food and movie tickets. But I really believe the cons of the relationship outweigh the pros. He says I should open up and not take things so seriously, but that is not easy for a sensitive person like me to do. He thinks who I am now is not what is on the inside....

Any suggestions? Should I take his advice and change? (even though I believe I shouldn't have to change just for the sake of his personality. If he truly loved me, wouldn't he accept me just the way I am?) I really need help deciding. I don't want to let go of something I will probably never find again, but I don't wanna keep hurting myself.

Back in 7th grade, I failed the Algebra placement test. So, back in 8th grade, I was not eligible to get into Algebra 1, so I was stuck in Pre-Algebra. It didn't really bother me at the time, but now that I am taking Algebra 1 in 9th grade while a lot of my friends are in Geometry makes me sad. It makes me feel so dumb and behind (I know I'm not but I am just saying it makes me feel so). So, I was just wondering, would it be possible to take Geometry during summer? I just wanna feel smart like all my friends do. As long as there is anyway to be caught up to them, I will be happy. Of course, I don't want to be caught up just to be with my friends, but to also have a greater chance at college when I am older. So, any suggestions on things I can do? I appreciate any advice or comments.

Well, the story is quite long but I will sum it up.

Several months ago, back in Junior High, 2 friends and I had a huge fight. The fight was about me apparently not spending enough time with them or texting them enough and spending too much with him. That is not true. First of all, they do not live in town where I do so we cannot hang out as much, plus my mom is not very fond of them. Plus they never texted me much either. They did, but it was more like those, "Hey what's up?" "Not much, you?" "Same." "Cool. conversations. So one day one of those friends just randomly messaged me, and we started talking more and more. We did this secretly behind everyone's backs so there would be no drama caused by people, particularly her friends. We secretly text and on some occasions call each other. Well, tonight was our homecoming and I was with my boyfriend, who was great friends with her before the incident. I saw her sitting alone all sad so I texted her as to why she was sitting there and she told me one of her friends had ditched her. I said if it was safe for us to be public friends, I would comfort, hug, talk, and hang with her. Then she said screw it! I am sick of hiding this sh*t! Tell him (my boyfriend)!

So me and my boyfriend went somewhere private away from everyone else and then I told him. He was not mad, but said he was frustrated that I hid it from him all of this time.

I feel horrible! I kept something from him when I should have just straight up said it! I trust and love him a lot, but I promised my friend I would keep our secret, and I do not tell secrets that are important.

I cannot find myself to forgive myself for doing this to my boyfriend. I feel like I have hurt him a lot, even though he said it is no big deal and he is glad I told him (I am too since it is now off my chest). How can I just let it go and forgive myself?

My mom and I are not very close. It is so pathetic, she says I love you to me and my brother on FACEBOOK but not to my face, where it actually means something. But she says I love you to my baby sister. She says she loves me, her, and my brother all equally and does not have a favorite child, but I know that is a lie - if she truly loved us all equally, it would show, which, obviously, it isn't. It kills me inside when my boyfriend is on the phone with his parents and says I love you to them.... And she treats her friends way better than me and my brother.

She treats me more like a slave I guess you could say; she does not need or even really want me unless she needs help with my little sister or with household tasks, which I am fine with helping out with (but don't want to feel used.) I even remember one time my little sister was at my step dad's house for a custody visit and I was out for 6 hours. 6 WHOLE HOURS! And my mom didn't even notice!! Heck, she won't even ask me NICELY to do chores. Maybe I would gladly do my chores if she asked me to do them nicely. (You know, get a "Will you PLEASE take the trash out?" instead of a "Take the trash out!" If I do get a please, it is a forced and angry please, which means nothing...)

When we attempt to hang out as a family (can't take vacations, but have occasional family days), we always end up yelling at each other. My mom expects us to be perfect and live up to her expectations and simply doesn't or won't even try to understand me, her own flesh and blood, and how I am different from her.

We don't even feel like a family; we live more like roommates. We don't get along much at all. Every single day I always hear yelling, especially at my brother for his bad grades or his immature behavior. She is not very supportive of me at all. It is bad because I actually LIKE going to school to escape the very negative feeling at home. It is bad; even my boyfriend does not really like her, but respects her since she is my mom. Plus she holds so many grudges, against me and towards my friends as well.

There is more to the whole thing, but basically, those are the main parts of the situation.

So...would all of this be emotional and/or verbal abuse, or am I just over exaggerating the whole thing and mistaking it for family problems or something?

I have asked my mom to get me into counseling, but of course, she has been putting off and neglecting to...so for now, until she finally does, I am seeking answers from you guys. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and answer this; I really need it.
