Okay this is really important because I'm not sure what to do in a situation such as this. This is my 5th month on Alesse and yesterday (sunday) I started a new pack. However, I had been at my boyfriend's the whole week and forgot to take the first pill of the new package at the same time as i regularly do. I ususally take every pill at 7:00am but I forgot to take the first pill until 11:30am. Here's where I am unsure, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend at around 10:30 am (an hour before I remembered to take the pill) am i at risk for becoming pregnant?? Your help would be greatly appreciated as i must decide what my next step will be. Thanks a lot!! ~Skittles~

I love my boyfriend for so many reasons that I couldn't possibly mention them all. He is thoughtful, mature, sincere, completely honest, sensitive, loving, we have so many things in common and such an amazing connection that its scary sometimes, and he doesn't care what other people think about him. He has helped me to become a stronger person and has been there for me on so many different levels, even when my head was bandaged up for a week after surgery. It is also the simple things that we share, and the joy we both find in spending time together. He does some of the most adorable things. The most recent one being In a Tim Hortons when he looked at me and became teary-eyed. I asked him what was wrong and he wouldn't stop smiling. He told me that I'm so beautiful that it brought him to tears and he was overwhelmed by how lucky he is to be with me. Just knowing that someone loves me that much, and can show it in such unexpected ways makes my love for him even stronger. It's hard to even put into words... I just love him for who he is, and because he loves me for who I am.

Hey, don't worry I think everyone goes through this. Its all part of getting to know each other. My boyfriend and I have been together about a month now. but for the first week or so there were definitely some weird silences and it seemed like we were always scrambling for something to say. It will go away eventually once you guys get to know each other a little more and become more comfortable around each other. It will all come naturally, and even if there are still silences they'll be more comfortable and not so 'weird' lol. Hope that helps! ~skittles~

Hey... well I am taking a psychology course right now... and we were studying how men and women react differently to each other. It is proven that women use complaining as a way to bond/relate to each other. I don't know if this is the case with your friend or what. But you might want to just keep that in mind. As for the whole getting extensions on assignments and such, I think she just has a problem with her time management and maybe you need to open her eyes to that fact. Maybe all she needs is someone to come down on her and open her eyes because surely you have just as much work as she does... yet you don't have the same problems she always complains about. Just a thought! lol ~skittles~

Hey, don't worry about it, you're not alone! lol I'm about 5"10/5"11 and like 150 pounds and a lot of the time I feel really big, even though I'm just tall. Just as you said... I'm all legs too Luckily I have a group of male friends that really seem to like it so it helps me get over my self consciousness. As for being taller than or almost as tall as a boyfriend... it used to really bother me but now that I'm becoming more secure with myself I know it doesn't really matter. You just have to stand up straight and carry yourself well.... be proud to be tall, and it does'nt hurt to have soem tall friends too! lol ~skittles~

OK well there's this guy... lets call him Jay. I've been getting some mixed signals and I was hoping someone could help me out. He is in one of my classes and he sits WAY over on the other side of the room so i never really get a chance to talk to him. I first noticed him and thought he was cute and then we began looking at each other. It got to the point where we were constantly making eye contact. My friend Steve knows Jay so I told Steve about it. Steve told Jay I like him and apparently he said "yea I can tell, she looks at me a lot" I was talking to steve and I said "Maybe I should just forget about the whole thing" as I was feeling a bit discouraged. Steve said "No don't do that... he checks you out. I saw him checking you out in the library, and he hinted around it when I was talking to him." Today my friend Rachel saw Jay in the hall and was talking to him about me and again he said "yea she looks at me a lot" I'm getting really frustrated because he looks at me all the time in class. In fact, every time I go to look at him he's sitting there looking at me. So he looks at me just as much as I look at him if not more. The fact that he looks at me seems like a good sign, but the things he says to other people make it sound like I'm just some girl that looks at him a lot. I feel SO stupid yet I can't help wondering why he would look at me if he's not at least a little bit interested. Its like he hasn't said anything really bad, but he hasn't said anything good either. I'm very confused. Anyways, my friend told him that I'm kind of shy and I've been wanting to talk to him but I hardly ever see him, so she told him he should talk to me. Right after she talked to him, we had class with him and I decided not to look at him as much. Every time I went to look at him though, he was already looking at me. Does anyone know why he's doing this? I have heard he is shy but its like he won't tell anyone what he thinks about me. If anyone has any ideas as to whats up with him, or suggestions on what I should do I would appreciate it a LOT! ~skittles~

hey, well as a girl I'd have to say that the whole "I want you to do better than me" is just a nice way to let someone know that you're not interested. I'm not saying that she'll never like you, as people can change their minds... but who knows how often that happens lol. So yea... I think you should probably just settle for being her friend right now. As for trying to make her like you, that's just a major cause of frustration. If there is potential for something to go on between you two then you shouldn't have to make her like you, She should just start liking you on her own. But Anyways I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it. There are more girls out there ~skittles~

heya Well I wouldn't say I'd get nervous.... more like crazy excited. Like sometimes I get nervous around the guys I like but once I get talking to them and get used to being around them it kinda goes away. But yea... for sure I'd say I'd be really excited if the guy I like asked me out... lol who wouldn't! ~skittles~

I think you should talk to her, I always make eye contact with guys I'm interested in, so you might as well give it a try! In fact there's one guy that I've never really talked to but we ALWAYS look at each other and I'm going to talk to him at school next week, so yea I think you should talk to her. and as for grades... they don't matter to me. As long as he's a good person and knows how to treat me right, thats all that really matters.

Well, I don't think there really is a 'kind' of guy that girls really like. We're all different and what some girls find attractive, others find unattractive. I don't have a specific type of guy that I look for but I guess I can think of something. lol I'd say about 6"2 or 6"3 (nice and tall cause I'm 5"10) maybe brownish or blondish hair, and blue eyes. As for a body, I'd say just a little bit of muscle definition is really attractive, I find guys with a lot of muscles to be less attractive. But yea, none of this stuff really matters and there are always exceptions. I just pretty much described what the guy I currently like looks like... just to give you an idea I suppose. Hope that helped!

Well there's definitely nothing wrong with being a virgin. I'm still one and I don't even care that I haven't had sex yet. At our age there is a lot of pressure to do it though so it can be a bit of a touchy subject but most of the people I know don't mind that I'm still a virgin and are proud that I'm waiting until I meet someone I really care about. My one friend lost her virginity to this guy she works with all the while knowing that he was just using her for sex... and she also knew that he was having sex with another girl they work with. I'm sure there are people out there that enjoy just casual sex with no relationship to worry about but I could not imagine having sex for the first time when it's just casual and you know the other person doesn't really care about you. So yea, being a virgin is not a bad thing, it just means that you haven't found the right person. I can totally relate to you and it's not something that you should feel bad about that's for sure. I have much more respect for people who wait until the time is right rather than setting idealistic sexual goals for themselves.

Hey I was just wondering if there's anyone here that has any experience with sprained ankles because I'm having a pretty rough time and I need some opinions. I was running on Wednesday but I guess the road was a bit broken up or uneven or something but I went over on the outside of my ankle. It really really hurt for about 5 minutes or so but it eventually subsided, and I was able to walk back home without too much discomfort. Later on that night it really began to hurt again, I didn't even have to touch it or move it. The next morning it wasn't as painful, but really swollen. I noticed that when I sat on the ground with my leg straight out, and I pushed on my heel so that there was pressure on the back of it... my ankle felt like it was going to crack. It's a very strange feeling and you can actually see the top of my ankle moving right by where my foot attatches, it almost looks like my foot is coming away from my ankle. Also, when I do this the ankle bone on the outside of my leg looks like it kind of moves inward and it gets to the point that I feel I need to crack it. It feels like there is something out of place that just needs to be popped back i but I haven't done it because I'm scared of what will happen. I went to my doctor today and he said that it was sprained and I showed him this whole 'popping out' thing and he just kind of ignored it, and never said if it was a normal thing or not. He said it probably just felt funny because of the swelling, but as far as I know swelling shouldn't make your bones pop out of place. The doctor sent me to the hospital for x-rays where they determined that nothing was broken, and told me to go home. So I then went to the chiropractor to see if he could maybe put it back into place because it feels very odd. I've sprained my ankle before but I've never had this happen. The chiropractor made a few adjustments but I still have the shifting and the feeling that it needs to crack. It's very uncomfortable... not painful but it just feels really weird... as though I have to be very careful when walking or my foot will break off or something! lol I've been icing the swelling but it doesn't make a difference with this other problem. If anyone has any comments or advice or any thing at all I would be really appreciative as I'm beginning to get very frustrated. Sorry about the length....thanks a million! ~Skittles~

Hey Well I'd have to say I don't like the guys that are all muscly either! lol I actually do prefer the tall lanky ones. I didn't notice until my friend pointed it out to me but every guy I've been attracted to is very tall and slim. I guess its because I'm 5'10, and I definitely wouldn't go out with a guy that is considerably shorter.... tall and skinny is good in my books! ~Skittles~

Hey hey! Ok well there's this guy lets call him Jay, and I've liked him for about 5 months or so. I kinda forgot about him for a while cause he had a gilfriend but he dumped her last month. I had been talking to him a lot and he had always kinda acted like he liked me back. Like I was talking to him about how one of my guy friends wanted to get me high because I've never done it... so then Jay (who has never done it either) told me not to do it, so I told him I wouldn't.. just for him. He was just like "woo-hoo" lol but he'd do stuff when I was talking to him on msn like saying that he was so tired he didn't even wanna type. I told him he didn't have to but he was like "No, it's alright" There was a lot of other stuff but I was just getting the vibe that he liked me back. I figured I'd tell him that I like him, because there couldn't be any harm in it right? I'd at least get to tell him how I feel and see how he feels about me. So I was talking to him and we had kind of run out of things to talk about so I said "I've got something to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should" and he said "Of course... you can tell me" so I told him I liked him and about 5 minutes later he responded "lol... I don't know what to say" I was just like "Bet you weren't expecting that eh?" and he said that he thought I might like him but he didn't know for sure" He didn't really talk much after that and I said that he could just forget I said it if he wanted... he didn't say anything. So then I figured I probably kinda caught him off guard so I told him I didn't want to weird him out or anything... he just said "its alright" and that was that. I really don't understand because I'm pretty shy by nature when it comes to this stuff and I totally opened up and told him, which is something I don't often do... and he didn't tell me how he felt at all. I at least thought he would have maybe hinted as to if he liked me or not, if he was too shy to tell me out right, but he didn't. I don't get it... why -after opening up to him- couldn't he tell me how he felt? Is it because he doesn't like me? Pretty much all I got out of that was some embarrassment and a feeling of stupidity for actually telling him. I don't know how to find out if he likes me or not because just asking him seems kind of weird, if you know what I mean. I know there is this other girl that he has liked forever but he apparently knows he can't have her because she doesn't like him that way and they're better off as friends anyway. Which is the same situation I'm in with the other guy I used to like. So I know she's not holding him back as he went out with this girl that he dumped last month... while stilll liking the other one. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get him to open up and volunteer the information instead of me having to get it out of him? I really need to know and just asking him doesn't seem right! lol thanks ~skittles~

Thanks for your help... I don't think he's interested in any other girls cause we've always been really open about stuff like that. If he likes a girl and I ask him who it is he always tells me. Even when he was going out with this one girl and I still liked him I talked to him about her and stuff... just so he knew that I wasn't one of those super jealous chicks. So I don't think its that there's another girl. I'm thinking it's just because he doesn't want to be involved in a relationship right now... which I don't either, I just really like him. So I'm not too sure what to do.
