Been through a lot in my life & though I'm young I've seen much and am going on 64 - LOL :) got an old head on my shoulders

I'm a go with the flow kinda girl and don't make things too intense - I'm young and know that all relationships at this age WILL eventually end :) but that is just me :)

I know a fair amount about depression and The Pill, yes folks, I know a lot of the facts, so any questions? Come to me :)

A.   5 May 2010: Two things 1) weirdly enough people have the same dreams all the time. My boyfriend often googles his dreams and weirdly enough people he didn't know even existed have had EXACTLY the same dream as him... No idea why - but it does happen 2) Yo... (read in full...)

Girls and their "playtime"

Q.   How often do girls maturbate? How do they do it? Do they look at porn while they do it? Or just think about it?...

A.   3 May 2010: Girls aren't like guys (for the most part). Porn is aimed at guys because guys are visual and are turned on very easily by the things they *see*. Girls get turned on differently they need to feel relaxed, special, sexy and have their brains t... (read in full...)

A.   2 May 2010: You can get in touch with a psychologist who will be someone to talk to and will help you through grieving over your lovely man. That must be so tough on you, especially as you seem to be feeling very alone right now. I think you may possibly... (read in full...)

Breaking up by text message. I find it rude and immature!
