Dear Dish-It,
My friend is thinking about having sex with a guy that she's only known for a few weeks. The problem is... she's 13 years old! How can I try and talk her out of this?

Dear thugmisses,
It's a problem when anyone thinks about jumping in the sack with someone after just a few weeks. When you're 13 and thinking about it, it's a HUGE problem. As much as your friend thinks she knows all there is about doing the deed, there's likely a long list of repercussions she hasn't even thought of. Not only could she get pregnant or contract an STD, things with this dude may not last all that long, and there's nothing worse for someone's self-esteem than giving away sex to the first person who shows an interest in you. Sit down with your friend and let her know that you think this would be a big mistake and list your reasons. Have her take a look at www.scarleteen.com and go through their sex readiness checklist. She's only 13 and though she may think she's ready now, chances are she's not and will enjoy her first time a lot more when she knows it's the right time, with the right guy.

Dear Dish-It,
My period is two weeks late... it's usually really regular. My friend and I, (who's a guy,) were rolling around, like having sex with our clothes on. Could I be pregnant even though we both had our jeans and underwear on? Help me, I'm so worried!

Dear Jaded_cheergirl,
You need to take some deep breaths and try to calm down. Now, you need to assess what went down with you and your friend. Unless some of his bodily fluids soaked through both of your clothes, you are likely not pregnant. But, just because you both had your clothes on, doesn't mean that semen can't or didn't seep through your jeans. It's just like any other fluid and can seep through your clothes. Whether you think this is what happened or not, you should talk to your mom or another trusted adult and make a doctor's appointment ASAP. You may not be pregnant but it doesn't hurt to get a professional to check up on what's going on with your bod. And take a look at the site I gave to thugmisses above, it has a ton of great info and resources.

Dear Dish-It,
I am writing to you cuz I need some help. My ex, who I was going out with for nine months, dumped me 2 weeks ago and I am SO not over him. I love him a lot still and then again he only likes me a little bit. He is totally crushing on one of my BFF's and I have heard that my ex (Billy) had his friend ask her out for him. She said PROBABLY, though they aren't going out yet because she is at camp. But when she comes back, Billy is going to ask her out. I really need some advice QUICK! I am crying as I write this. I will never stop liking Billy. Never!

Dear MarlAna2512,
There's no doubt that you're going to have a rough time getting over Billy. You dated for nine months and he was most likely your first love. You don't just snap out of that after two weeks apart. But trust me on this one - if he has already asked out a friend of yours, he's serious that it's over. And you are only setting yourself up for even bigger heartache if you try and monkey with this new relationship. Although it feels like you'll never get over Billy, you have a long love career ahead of you and a ton of other hotties in the stars!

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression and just feelin' bad, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure but too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day - she'll definitely answer ya, but it may take a bit. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you want share? We'll dish them up too.
