No don't worry it definitely won't reduce your growth, but always get a proper-fitting bra to make sure that you're comfortable!

Q: 13/f
Does anyone know any really good books about stuff like romance, death,depression, all that fun stuff. i have already read the lovely bones and it is my absolute FAVORITE book. nothing to happy...but does anyone know a really good book that has the same kind of mood as the lovely bones.
Oh yeah...and P.S. there is this one book my friend was telling me about where this woman loses all her money and sells her daughter to this prostitute house. its called like "reading me love" but i could never find it...i dont even know if thats the title!! Thanks.

A good book that empitomises depression and mental illness is "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. Although I would advise you that it is particularly dark, much more so than Anne Seabold's novel you refer to. But yeah, if you like some depressing reading, that will do the trick!
Hope I helped!

Hey!
First of all, don't worry too much - there's no right or wrong way to kiss, so just relax and it will be fine. You could talk to him about it but I'm sure he'd be just the same as you - really scared in case he doesn't kiss you "properly" and nervous (everyone gets like that)! The next time you're out together, take things slowly and go with the flow. It's not that bad - honest!!
Good luck!

I'm afraid your chances of being pregnant are quite high if you used no form of contraception. You don't mention exactly how long it has been since you had sex. If it was less than 72 hours ago, then you can take the morning-after-pill and it could stop you from falling pregnant. If you take it within 24 hours, it is 95% effective at preventing pregnancy, within 48 hours it is 85% effective, and if you take it between the 48-72 hour period, it is only 61% effective. So if you did have sex in the last 3 days, try to obtain the pill as soon as possible.
If you had sex over 72 hours ago, the best thing to do would be to tell someone (perhaps your mum or another relative) and get yourself an appointment with a doctor who can arrange a pregnancy test.
You've also got to remember that having unprotected sex could give you an STI even if you, or your boyfriend don't have any symptoms of one. A lot of these infections/diseases go undetected for long periods of time, and they can lead to infertility, amoung other things. It would be wise to arrange for a screening to check if you have got anything. The chances are that you haven't but you're better safe than sorry, eh?
Good luck!
*If you find out you are pregnant and need any more advice just ask me :-)

Q: alright, if it helps, im tara and im 14.
i've been cutting myself for some time now. always on my wrist and always in the same general area. whenever its a cold day i wear a jacket, and whenever its hot out i just wear bracelets. nobody has ever noticed or said anything. so last night i was laying in bed and i forgot to put on a jacket. my mom came in and saw my arm and said something like 'what's that?' .. i freaked out and pulled it away and said i was drawing.. and she asked why and i said i couldnt find any paper. she asked me if i wanted to talk about anything so i just yelled no and she left. i dont think she has even heard of people cutting themselves. so this morning i covered my wrist with coverup and a few braclets so that she'd think it really was drawings that had washed off. it was very akward and i tried to pretend nothing happened. all she said was 'is body art a new trend or something?' i dont know if she believes my excuse or not.. what do you guys think? and do you have any ideas of how i can cover these darn cuts up? mucho thanks in advance.
PS: oh and please dont tell me to stop cutting. im working on it, i promise. but its like cigarettes or drugs, you cant just stop. it takes time and effort.. =)

I don't know whether your mum suspects anything, but mothers have this strange intuition that tells them if something is wrong. She may be worried about how to approach the subject of cutting yourself. Although it may be really hard, I think you should tell her what's been going on. She will obviously be shocked at first, but I swear she'll do all that she can in order to help you. With her support and a shoulder to cry on, you will eventually stop, or limit your cutting. It won't be easy, because as you say it's an addiction like everything else - I think some people should take note of that and stop passing judgement on you. Good luck.

Hey hun,
I'm not going to lecture you because I assume you know that 12 is a very young age to have sex. To answer your question quite frankly, losing your virginity is obviously gonna hurt because the guy is breaking your hymen but if you're really nervous or unsure it will hurt no matter whether you've had sex 1 or 1000 times. When you're unsure about having sex, your muscles tighten up and the guy will hurt you when he enters you. So what I suggest for the future is not to have sex outside a stable relationship with anyone you don't trust, and even then, always use contraception to keep safe. Then you won't have to worry about STDs, pregnancy etc and you won't be as nervous so you will be able to enjoy the experience! :-)
