Answer to:
I'm seeing this person -- she's 21, and I'm 18. Is that 3 year age difference a big deal? Finally a question in this section that I can say no there is not a big deal. Between 18-21 most people are on or around the same levels of maturity and will continue to grow psychologically at similar rates. Usually an age difference of around 2,3,or 4 years is not a problem. If you were 18 and she was 25 then I would say that it would probably be a bit of a problem, because she would most...

Answer to:
My best friend who is 16 just started dating my cousin who is 26. I'm very concerned about this... am I over-reacting? NO YOU ARE NOT! Don't even try to convince her that it is wrong. Go directly to your parents, his and hers. If you try to talk to your best friend and cousin first, it could just cause more trouble to build up between the 3 of you. They will probably both be upset when they find out that you told, but that is such a big age difference and something definitely needs to be done and it would...

What can I do to convince a 17 yr-old girl that her 36 yr-old boyfriend is not right for her? Explain to her that you want for her to be happy, to start with.

Tell her that you think that she should be dating someone closer to her own age so that she will be able to enjoy growing up at a more normal rate. Tell her that if she continues to date him he might become...

Is it out of the question for a 17 year old to be interested in or fall in love with a 23 year old?

Answer to:
The girl with whom my boyfriend had sex once is saying that she's pregnant by him. Her boyfriend is saying the baby is his. What should I do? I am assuming that they had sex before you got together? If not, dump him now and get out before it gets really hairy! Once that baby is born there is probably going to be a lot of trouble between the mom, and 2 potential fathers. Like paternity tests, etc. If he cheated you should get out now and avoid having to be part of all that with an unfaithful guy. If he had sex with her before the...

Answer to:
My wife and my former best friend spent the day together recently. They both lied about it at first, then admitted it, but said they didn't have sex. Is this cheating? Can I trust her anymore? It shouldn't be considered cheating until she admits that she kissed him, or more, but I wouldn't trust her just yet. The best thing to do is sit down and talk to her and ask her what is going on, like if she feels that there are problems in your realtionship, is unhappy with the sex life, etc. Maybe she just wants a little more attention, not that her way was the right way to get it....

I cheated on my boyfriend and I want to forget about the whole thing. I think it would do no good if I told my boyfriend but I don't want to be dishonest. Should I tell him? TELL HIM!!! Please tell your boyfriend, especially before you have sex with him again. I had a boyfriend who cheated on me (had sex) with another woman and then had sex with me again without telling me that he had cheated. I found out shortly after, from his friends little sister who happened to walk in on them, what had happened. When I realized that he had sex with me the next day, I was...

I blacked out and don't remember kissing my ex right in front of my current girlfriend. My current girlfriend said it's not something she wants to break up over, but I'm devastated. How can I get over this and move on? Ask yourself, am I going to be a guy who always has fun living in the moment or is it more important to me to step back and think about the consequences? If you chose the first option, then you should probably break up with your current girlfriend and not even read any more of this because you are obviously not ready for the responsibilities of a committed relationship..... If you chose the...

My cat tends to urinate or poop right next to the box, but not in it. What can I do? Some cats are really picky about the litter box being clean. I have a male cat who will do that if he thinks he is going to get anything on his paws. Try a scoopable litter and clean the box frequently to please her. If that does not work, try putting her in the box, hold her paws and make her scratch the litter. Sometimes this can help a cat to learn that this is where you want them to do...

I shaved my head with a razor, and now my scalp is somewhat swollen and is very sore in back. When I turn my head, I can feel tightness. What can I do? It is probably what is called razor burn. Put some aloe vera gel on it and it should help. Next time you shave your head, make sure that you use a brand new razor blade, maybe even two, one for each side of your head. Also, you might purchase a shaving cream or gel that has aloe vera in it which helps to prevent razor burn from happening.

I found a cat two days ago that had been hit by a car. She is eating and drinking a little and she purrs when I pick her up, but she is not pooping. What should I do? It is possible that the accident may have caused damage to her instestines or internal organs, like a blockage. If that is the case than you would have to take her in for surgery which can be very expensive. Other than that, it might be that she was starved previously. If she was then her stomach or pancreas or other organs may have started to shut down. If they have, there are prescription...

My teeth are so sensitive that I can't even get them cleaned. Neither Sensodyne nor ControlRX helps. I brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and floss every day. What can I do? Ask your dentist for a prescription floride tooth paste. It can really help to strengthen the enamel on your teeth which in turn provides more protection for the nerves, causing you to experience less sensitivity.

I can feel something just below my left ribs. Sometimes I also feel a burning sensation there. Is this cause for concern? Yes, especially if it is painful.

A 17 year-old girl I know is dating a 36 year-old man. Is this something to be concerned about? I would have to say yes. A 36 year old man is usually ready to settle down and build a family (have children), and if he is interested in someone who he is old enough to be the father of, than he is probably pretty immature for someone his age and the girl would probably mature beyond him within a few years and lose interest, after investing that much time in him. He might even be a pedifile,...
