So my boyfriend and I have been having sex for about 2 months now. He hasn't ejaculated inside of me but he has come almost every single time. I was on the birth control pill, but I stopped taking it. My period has not shown up for a month and I'm super nervous. I get the period cramps, but no period. I've also been really stressed out lately, so I don't know if that also contributes to no period. I haven't had any significant weight gain, no mood swings, or cravings. No pregnancy symptoms whatsoever. So should I take the test or should I wait a little while longer?

Hey Guys! So my boyfriend and I have been dating for approximately 4 months now, but we ve known each other since we were in 8th grade(we re seniors in high school now). I m leaving for college in August while he s staying in our hometown and going to the community college. My college will be at least 7 hours away from home so I won t be able to come home for the weekends(or it will be very hard to).

I just want to know if anyone has had any experiences with long-distance relationships and how you handled them or what not. I don t plan to break up with my boyfriend anytime soon because I really do love him and I want it to work, but I m worried about the long-distance thing. So what have been your experiences with long-distance relationships?

Hi everyone! I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I have a friend that I've known since I was in 8th grade. We stopped talking in my sophomore year until about a year later when I reached out to him. We've basically talked every day since then. We've dated before, most recently, in the beginning of my sophomore year. About a month ago, we agreed to be 'friends with benefits.' I saw him 3 weeks ago and he was really getting on my nerves, trying to make me kiss him(which I didn't want). A week ago, I told him that I didn't want to do friends with benefits anymore and I wanted to be just friends with him. He took that as I didn't ever want to talk to him again, which was not my intention at all!

He's been such a great friend to me and I don't want to lose him, but I just want to be friends. So my question is, how do I tell him that I did still want to talk to him, but I just wanted to be friends?

I am currently a junior in high school and my friend, let's call her Wendy, is also a junior in high school. About a month ago, her step-sister, let's call her Emily, and her boyfriend wanted Wendy to meet one of the boyfriend's friends. Wendy agreed and the friend, let's call him William, met. Wendy and William took a liking for each other and after 2 days(yes, I said 2 days), he asked her out. I was, naturally happy for her, because that's what friends do. But recently this guy has seemed to not be great. In fact, he seems like a total ******. Emily heard from the grape vine that William was cheating on Wendy. Of course, she had to make sure it wasn't just rumors, but she seriously believed it. William completely denied it, and they went on with their lives. Then, Wendy broke up with William, yet she felt guilty for it. According to Wendy, there was too much drama and she didn't want to deal with it. I thought that she would be done with him. But they still remained friends. In the past 2 weeks, William has been nagging on Wendy about doing 'stuff.' Wendy had some traumatizing events happen to her before, and I don't think she wants to be reminded of any of those. Last night, Wendy slept over at William's house and apparently was forcing her into actually having sex. That worried me big time and now I'm scared that he's going to take advantage of her. I want to tell her to stop seeing this guy or at least warn her, but how do I tell her? What would you do in this position?

Hi! I'm currently a junior in high school and I need some help. There's these two guys that I've been talking to. One I have been talking to since my sophomore year. The other one I talked to in 7th grade and then we stopped talking, but we have recently started to talk again. They're both really sweet and they're such gentlemen. But that's about as far as the similarities go. The one that I have been talking to since sophomore year(let's call him Anonymous #1) plays football and he wrestles. He does have a bit of an ego, but he's one of those guys where he's a tough guy on the outside, but on the inside he's a softy. However, he has never talked to me in school except once. But, he was in my calculus class and he noticed a lot of things about me. The other one, the one I talked to in 7th grade(let's call him Anonymous #2), plays no sports whatsoever. He doesn't have much of an ego, but he's a guy that actually likes to talk about his feelings(with someone he trusts). He has talked to me in school, before, but barely. He doesn't notice much about who I am and I feel like even though we know each other, we have to get to know each other again because we've changed so much since 7th grade.

Both guys I really like and they treat me really well. I'm torn between them. I need your help. Who should I pick? I really don't like breaking hearts, but this is putting a lot of stress on me. Please help!

I'm 16 years old and a junior in high school. There's this one guy who goes to my school. He's a football player and I started to really have feelings for him this past summer. We have been talking since the beginning of my sophomore year. He has told me that he has liked me ever since 7th grade(which was 4 years ago) and he really loves me. He has also told me that his feelings are so strong for me, he feels like we could be together forever. Everytime we talk, he tells me, "You're beautiful," "You're a special girl." Things like that, which makes my heart melt a little.

The problem is we have only talked outside of school. We come from two different social groups. He's a jock... I'm more of a "wallflower", if you will. He hasn't made the effort to talk to me in school. We also have some disagreements sometimes. Sometimes, it's my personality(I'm known to speak my mind). Other times, we just don't agree and we have an argument about it. But, he always ends up coming back to me.

So, my question is... Is he being real? Or is he faking it?

there's this girl who i met in my school's drama club. recently she has been flirting with this one guy in front of my friends and i. the boy is also a friend of mine and my other friend. she is taking him away by not letting us talk 2 him. its just not rite. but then we, as in me and my friends, also think she mite be bisexual and in her later years become lesbian. she is very perverted and for a 7th grader 2 b making these comments already is really weird. she also hugs people in ways that only guys would do 2 their girlfriends. and another she will kiss her hand and pat me and my friends heads, and once she actually kissed me on top of my head. its really weird and i want it 2 stop. she also wont shut up and she kinda forced me in2 becoming friends with her. i dont know if i should cut the thread or still let it hang. any suggestions?

i have been friends with this girl for 2 years now. and she is starting to get on my nerves. she won't shut her mouth for at least 5 minutes. she repeats things all the time. and shes so clingy. were in the same language class and she always needs someone to walk up to class with. shes hanging on by a thread. should i cut the thread or should i still let it hang
