Q: Hi i just turned 15 2 days ago!! I have little breast buds and have had pubic hair for over a year. I started to get under arm hair about 2 months ago and get white discharge in my undies. I am wondering when will i get my period and when will my boobs get bigger? My mum is a C cup and i was wondering if i will be her size? I feel so left out that i do not have my period and i am scared i wont get it!!

Am i just a late bloomer?? I would love for people to answer my question and to tell me if im okay or not.

Thanks

Yep, Your a late bloomer. But dont rush your period. Because once you get it, Your going to hate it. And another thing. Just because your mom is a C cup doesnt mean you will be. Its genetics. It depends on your dad's side of te family too. It really depends on which family has the dominat gene.

Q: this is kinda weird and all but...what is the easiest branch of military [marines,army,navy,coast guard,national guard,air force]
which one gets the best benifits?
how much do you get?
any expierinces please!!

thank you

You should go to their websites and look around for hom much you get, but Either one of the guards I heard was pretty easy. marines are the hardest, but you get paid more. Air force people make like 1800 a month and thats depending on rank. Navy people get pretty good bonuses. And everything else....I dont really know. I know people that work in most of these branches though Thats where I got my facts from.

Q: Okay, so what do you guys look for in a girl? From what I can tell in school its just looks and style basically. I have neither of them. I'm just...me.

I'm 5'6", 15/f. A little overweight. I have really dark brown, curly hair that almost looks black and dark brown eyes. I love being creative. I love to write. I'm working on writing something book-like right now. I also enjoy reading a lot. I'm not a genius or anything but I'm not an airhead. I love all animals. I'm pretty shy when I first meet someone, but once I warm up to them, I'm a lot different.

Does that sound like something guys would like? Most of the guys I know look for the "hot" girls that dress nice.

When guys start to grow up, they will look at you for the type of person you are not because you look good. So yes the qualities you explain about yourself will make you find a great guy.

Q: one of my friends told me that another one of my friends has a crush on me but then i asked him about it and he said he didn't but then i overheard his younger brother on the phone asking if he was talking to his girlfriend and he doesnt have a girlfriend so im just wondering, does he or doesnt he like me?

Thats hard to say. But little brothers and sisters are like that. He was just trying to be funny. And your friend is probably shy. So if he does like you I doubt he is just going to come out and tell you.

Q: i ono if this is the right category, so sorry if its wrong.

the other day i found some white crusty stuff on/in my nipples. kind of. is that normal? 17/f n sexually active. if its not normal, why is it there?

It is normal. Your body has all types of fluid in it, and that is just one of the places where it comes from. LOL. But it will never be a lot just that little bit you seen. And you really never notice it.

Q: if you call someone after your free minutes will it show up on the bill?

Yes. All calls show up on there. It justs has 0.00 on side of it indicating that it was free.

Q: um..my bf wants to try anal, but im afraid it will hurt. i dont even know why girls like this because, how exactly does it give us pleasure? i mean, i want to do it because i want to make him feel good, but i dont want to be in pain or be uncomfortable just to make him happy. how bad does it hurt if it hurts at all? help.

It does hurt. Its stretching your anus open more than it needs to be Wow I didnt want to try this but when My ex tried to slip it in I was in pain and I was constipated for the next couple of days. People say you get used to it, but I will never know. lol.

PS, If you do decide to try it use a lubricant. It supposed to help.

Q: heres the story. beging of may i started talking to this boy on the phone at night for like hours [he'd call me] and then at the end of may he got a GF for about a week [which he would NEVER talk about or anything] and i was talking to him about his GF and I told him that I thought he liked me and his resonse was well I don't. And I told him why [which was because he'd call we talk all night and other little things] and he called again that night we've talked since. and he went out with that girl for a week. And then we had summer school together and when we passed we'd "avoid" eachother [because it was a gym class and we both looked horrible] and when we were in the same class for a day we kept like eyeballing eachother but never said anything. and my birthday was the other day but he didn't call or anything [but hes out of town] and I'm just so confused on if he likes me because everyone i've talked to says he does. so i've just decided i'm going to suck it up tell him I like him and just get it out because i can't deal with this crap anymore. but my problem is i have NO CLUE how to tell him. i'm worried if i just come out and say "i like you" he'd say something like "well duh were friends right" [because we have that tease eachoter call eachother losers and dorks and make fun of eachother relationship] so I have no clue how to tell him. Phone? IM? Text? ask who he likes and if not me don't tell. I'm so lost. someone pleaseeee give me some suggestions.

You should just be blunt and tell him. You know I like you right? And when he says Duh...Say No, I mean more than a friend.
And see what he has to say. Thats the only way I can see this going down is if you are upfront with it.

Q: I want to take the test to be certified as a lifeguard. I only want to spend 1 day or 1 week doing this, not like a whole month, and I don't want to pay alot. Is this possible? and where can I get information and stuff. I tried googling it but it was hard and I didn't understand anything. Thank you soo much.

Also, I'm only 14 but I'll be 15 in 3 weeks.

Well because of your age, Im dont think they will let you be a lifeguard. But If they do, You can go threw the YMCA. Search for the YMCA in your area. They should give you some instructions on how to go about getting certified.

Q: when a guy puts on his pants, does his penis like go to one pant leg? or does it like stay in the middle...that doesnt seem like it would be so comfortable

this is a serious question, because this girl put her hand on my guy friends leg close to his crotch area? and he was like "thank god that wasnt my left leg" so i thought "uhm is his penis on his left side?"

Sometimes it fall to one side. If it sits in the middle a guy would normally move it.

Q: ok my puppy is i think 7 months now and when she was little we would put er in her cage at nights and she would whimper for like a few minutes bafore going to sleep. now shes older and my sister has slept with the dog on her bed a couple of times and when we put her in her cage she does this wierd howling thing where it sounds like shes talking ro crying or something. what is she doing?! and she has terrrible seperation anxiety. like if her family member of choice that day leaves the house for like 5 minutes she barks and does that howling thing by the door untill they come back. any ideas on how to stop this? its annoying and it happens everymorning when my parents leave for work.
thx

she doesnt like to be locked up. in the cage in the house or anything. She wants to be free. Do you walk her? Do you show her lots of attention? Dogs crave attention.

Q: ok this guy thats not really my bf but kind of is lol found out that this weekend is my bday. and usually i wouldnt care but i know he likes me and so he says hes going to get me something. i usually dont tell guys about my bday cause then theres the whole akward thankyou thing and were not even going out so like what do i say?
i know he'll get me something cause hes just like that but i have such horrible people skills and i like getting presents but uuhhgg. anyone know where im voming from? help kthanks!

Just say thanks. You dont have to give no big speech. Just act suprised and say OMG! thank you! What else is there to say really?

Q: ok the people involved here are me and my bf (we've been going out a long time), and tom and cindy (who've been going out like 4 weeks).

well tom and my bf just went on a vacation together. my bf called me like 5 times a day and said how much he loved me and missed me, etc. (he's sooo sweet!).

well halfway though the vacation, i talked to cindy. she was all sad because she hadn't heard from tom at all. so i told my bf, and he told tom that he should call cindy. so tom started calling her, and i think he was trying to act like my bf, saying all this nice stuff to her.

well as soon as they got back, cindy dumped tom. he was really heartbroken and asked me find out why. she told me it was because he was being too clingy and saying that he loved her when they'd only been going out a few weeks.

now i feel terrible!! like its my fault. and i dont know what to tell tom. hes sooo upset hes like crying and everything. he was just trying to do what he thought she wanted, and taking the example of me and my bf. im dreading talking to him cuz i dont know what to say that wont make him feel worse. plus, i just found out that cindy started going out with another guy like 3 hours after she dumped tom. i dont want to have to tell him that either!!

what can i tell him that wont make him feel terrible?

You should tell her first that tom was not trying to be clingy and that she should give him another chance.
AND then you should tell tom that he needs to be hisself and not try to be someone else. And tell him that is the reason she left him. Because In the end thats what is was. Its nowhere near your fault. You didnt tell him what to say you just told him to call.

Q: 13/f
people are always saying that at our age, we can't really be in love, or that we're too young to know what love is. like when a couple starts going out, and they put "i love matt" and "i love alyssa" on their myspace, a lot of people say its stupid. ok maybe its not like "true love", the kind where you marry someone... but if you really, really like someone a lot, isnt that sort of a type of love? and what if youve been with someone for a really long time, even though youre only 13? me and my bf have been together for almost 2 years and i think what we have is a lot more than just "liking each other a lot." we've been through a lot together, and we've had problems, but we've always worked them out. we're like best friends and cant stand to be apart. if thats not love, then what is? and if its not, then how old do you have to be to really be in love?

Love has no age. Its blind. It can strike anyone. Thats love that you got. Dont worry about what anyone has to say. As long as you and him know what you share you shouldnt worry about anyone else.

Q: Well me and my ex after we broke up we were still talking. and then after awhile we didn't talk for a year. And then out of the blue he starts talking to me again and like i still ahve feelings for him deep inside of me things that make like i can't stop thinking about him. and then one night he calls me and was like baby i love u ur the 1 that makes mi heart go crazy and was like making me feel like some1 realy cared about me that much

so he was like i'm going 2 call you like 2marrow or the next day but it's been like 3 weeks and he never called me. and wen i looked at his myspace he's always talking 2 gurls. But wen he's on and no1 ealse is on like mi profile view's go up like 20 views up. i mean i have these feeling wear i can't stop thinking about him.

can people help me like with things like 2 help me talk 2 him are things 2 do in my situation?

This relationship is pointless. He is playing head games with you. Your going to have to get over the feelings and move on. I mean who takes a year to figure out thry love someone dearly?

Q: I've known this girl for 14 years. I'm only 16...thats a long time to stay friends, right? Well, there's this other girl who is a complete skank. She has had sex over 25 times with 15 different guys. And she has repeatedly lied to us and "Slit her wrists" (writing a line on her wrist with a red pen then covering it with a band aid) in attempts to get attention. She is over the top, annoying, and very rude and manipulative. My best friend Brandi (the one I've known forever) is becoming just like the skank and then she will suddenly just change and get mad at me for nothing at all. She knows that skanky lies to her all the time, yet if I happen to say one thing wrong I get yelled at. I dont lie to Brandi and I dont do things for attention. What is up???

Shes rebelling and she wants to make her own decisions.
It aint really nothing you can do to save her. Just give her one more talk and if it doesnt work then back off.

Q: When i'm in heat, the feeling that usually goes on in my pelvic area has changed..it used to be just kind of..pleasant? but now it feels good, but now it feels like menstrual cramps [im not on my period] without the throwing up feeling. and the feeling is lower. i have a feeling it's around my cervix, but idk for sure.

is that normal? should i talk to someone about this or just let it be?

you should go see a doctor for sure.

Q: okay so i have some acne on my back, the pimples aren't like BIG they're just the little red dots, but there's a lot, and i want them gone so that i don't worry when i wear tank tops. it's like on my shoulders and on my back

i'm sorry if this grossed you ladies and gentleman out :/

15/f

Most of the times when you get these bumps on your back its because after you take a bath/shower you dont dry your back all the way. The air hits that area trapping dirt and water in your open pores. SO DRY THIS AREA COMPLETELY.
And you can also use the acne medicine for your face on your back. before and after you get in the shower.

Q: since about november of last year i started purging after i ate like everyday sometimes three times a day. i'm 5'5", 14 years old and 125 pounds last time i checked [it fluctuates a lot] but anyways lately i've only been purging like once a day because i start to feel bad and guilty about it. but then i feel guilty for eating and i feel fat all the time. if anything i try not to eat at all but i don't know. is this an eating disorder?

Yes it is.
It sounds like bulimia.

You should see a doctor.

Q: I need help. I am 16 year old, 5'8 female who weighs in at 365 pounds. That's right. THREE HUNDRED And Sixty-Five Pounds. Now please, this is serious so don't comment about how fat I am and all that other bull because believe me, I know already. So I need to lose weight (obviously) not only because it is extremely unhealthy but also because I let my weight run my life. I am sick of worrying about wether or not my gut is hanging out or if my shirt will cover it. I am sick of worrying about wether or not I will fit into a desk at school. This is not a joke people. READ WHAT I'M WRITING I SOUND LIKE A FREAK!!!! :( I need motivation. I am completely unmotivated. I hate being what I am but that isn't enough to make me want to change. I don't know what to do anymore. It's gotten to the point where I think I look gross all the time. And I do!
I look so disgusting I could vomit. And it's all because I am FAT. Personally I think I have a gorgeous face but you can't see it or who I really am because I'm in this fat suit. :( I've been big all my life but I can't go on like this or I'll be in my 30's and weigh 600 pounds. That isn't even a human being anymore...It's an animal. :( Any thoughts or advice to get me motivated or, anything. Please, I am desperate.

No one can really give you the advice you need for this one. I can tell you something good though. Go to a doctor and tell them everything you typed down. Im sure they can help you way better than any of us can.
