soo usually i go to bed around 1-3 am, then wake up between 7-7:30 for school. would it be ok to leave a tampon in during the night? i for sure always wake up in the mornings, and i put new ones in right before i go to sleep. (link)
Yeah...that is fine. The problems that you are thinking may occur usually when you forget a tampon. That is when the problems occur. I hope that his helped.

My mom wants me to visit a gynecologist...but I'm scared...(and I'm only 14!)..
Will my doctor tell my mom that I'm not a virgin??
...I dont want my mom to know yet... because I am too young for it...and she won't trust me!!
Does my mom have to be in the room with me??
And since she wants me to go does this mean she thinks I'm sexually active?(even though I am)
I'm scared...HELP!! thanks. (link)
The docter will not talk to your Mom, especially if you ask her not too. You can ask your Mother to leave the room, or suggest to the docter prior to the visit that you would rather be alone, and then the pressure is not on you, like you are trying to hide something. I hope that this helps. Keep me posted.

ive been seeing my boyfriend now for about three months and the other night we had sex for the first time. the thing is he made me bleed. im not a virgin and it hasnt been that long since the last time i had sex. what do you think is wrong?
is it normal to randomy bleed? its not a lot but ive been bleeding for two days now, what should i do? (link)
Is it close to your period? That could be the bleeding that you are experiencing. But I am not sure without getting more information. I hope that this helps, but if it continues I would suggest that you talk to your local docter.

So as everyone knows, Christmas is in two days. I still don't have any presents for my mom, dad, sister, or grandparents! I don't have any money either, and I dont want to ask people for money, so I was thinking of making them gifts. I need some ideas, something easy, that I could make in a day. Any advice is appreciated!

Happy Holidays. (link)
Make them something else....possibily a photo album, or something very inexpensive. For you sister (I don't know how old she is), but some kind of craft item that you can do together. Get all the stuff ready and give her that in a nice little box, and tell her that you look forward to working on it with her. That way she thinks that you want to be involved in her life, which I am sure that you do. I hope that this helps, let me know what you come up with.

15/f

For Christmas I was planning on making my parents a clay bowl in my art class at school and giving it to them as a gift. Now we had a school closure for a few days (due to a storm) and I wasn't able to finish the bowl in time even though I've been working on it for weeks.

All I have to give to my parents on Christmas morning is a set of wine glasses (which I got them last year as well but they all broke).

I don't have a job or any money to buy them something else. What can I do? My friends are all giving their parents tons of gifts and things. I feel like I should have tried harder and gotten them more.

What can I do? And should I feel this way?

Thank you (link)

well me and my boyfriend have been together for three months now and we've had sex a few times. the last time we weren't planning on having sex so we didn't have a condom with us but im on the pill so i didn't think it mattered. but i had missed taking it two days before. we've continued to have sex since then but i've missed two periods. do you think im pregnant?
i daren't take a test, i jsut don't know what to tell my boyfriend if i am. (link)
You might be pregnant. Neither condoms or the pill are 100%, so it is completely possible. I would suggest that you take a pregnancy test or visit your local parenting center that offers free pregnancy tests. This way you will know what to do next. I would not worry about telling your boy-friend. If you are close (which I think that you are) then it might be a shock, but I don't think that he will leave ya. I hope that this helps. Let me know how things turn out.

I became a Christian two years ago, but I was baptized Catholic as an infant. I really get into the Christian faith more than the Catholic faith.

However I also heard that Catholic is very similar to Christian, except that Christian is more of a general faith than Catholic? I really don't know.. I mean I would hate to leave the Catholic faith. I am asking what is the difference between being Catholic and Christian? Would it matter if I was baptized Catholic and being more Christian? What am I supposed to do??

Thanks (link)
Well, where to begin? First, if you would like more information or would like to talk further my MSN messenger is jenn-hansen@hotmail.com. Okay, well, dealing with baptism. The "Christian" faith will not "hold it against you" that you where previously baptised as an infant, and depending on what faith you are practicing with they may encourage you to make that decision as an adult as well. I believe that this is more of an outward sign of your faith, not "necessarily" necessary for salvation, but we could argue about that all day. Anyway, the difference between certain Christian and Catholic faiths are slim, but the differences can become more noticeable in different types of Christian faith. Does that make sense? Anyway, one difference Pastor's can marry and have a family. That is one huge difference. As a Christian you have "direct access to God" where as the Catholic faith you go through a Priest in the form of confession. I hope that this helps, and I have a lot of information, so just get a hold me.

I told my best (male) friend that I wouldn't sleep with him. We had been friends for 3 years and really cared about each other. I felt that he was my "soul mate". The problem was that he is trapped in a bad marriage- really bad. They have nothing in common and fight constantly. People say they are like oil and water. I almost think he is afraid of her. They have never had kids and she is older than him with two grown kids who are heroin addicts. lt time I saw him he hinted we should fool around. I told him that as long as he were married I wouldnt sleep with him. Now he wants nothing to do with me. So does that mean he was never intending on leaving her and just wanted an affair? Because I think he really did care about me but is too scared to leave her. She is very vindictive. I know how unhappy he was with her because I could see the pain in his eyes when he was with her at social functions so if you think he's staying with her becuase he loves he it's not true. (link)
Have you thought that by having an affair with you, he was looking for a way out? He might be thinking that an affair is the only way out of the relationship. Just something that I thought about while reading the question. I hope that everything works out for you, and that this was helpful.

are glory holes real dont plan on using one just curiouse seems dangerous (link)
Yeah, they are real. I would never think of using one...not a guy, but still. I just don't think that they are save, and they are reducing sexual things to a bathroom or whatever, when there is more emotion involved. I hope that this answers you question.

My boyfriend kinda over-does it when it comes to complimenting me. I really appreciate him being sweet and all, but he takes it too far sometimes. When we were at dinner the other night, I asked him to pass the salad and he responded saying "I'd love to pass the salad to my most awesomest girlfriend in the world that I love more then she loves salad"

.. Yeah weird, but the problem is, he does that in EVERY conversation so its not just once-in-a-while. It becomes more annoying then flattering. How do I get him to take it down a notch but still making sure that he knows I appreciate his efforts? He hasn't caught on to my hints to getting him to stop. (link)
Marry him...the compliments will immediately stop. LOL, but I am guessing that is not a great option for you. So, I would just start doing what he is doing, maybe he would then get the clue that it is annoying. I hope this helps.

Jenn


Well yea here is my problem, i have a boyfriend lets just call him henry, and we have been going out for almost 2 years and he is ready to settle down with me and have a family but and we have been promised to each other for a long time and he is ready to settle down but i am only 16 years old so wat do i do ? (link)
I don't think that sixteen is too young to have a child. But I will ask you to really look into it, completely understand what would be involved. Expenses, time, emotions, etc. Being a parent is hard work. But if you are truly in love with the person, that could become the next step. I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope that this helps. Keep me posted on what you decide.

Hey, does getting your cartilage pierced hurt? If i were to get mine done, I would go to Piercing Pagoda, where they use a gun. Also, I might have to take it out after about 4 or 5 weeks to play softball, but I would put it back in right away. Would it close up after being outs for about 3 hours? Thanks a lot! (link)
I have had my cartilage pierced, and it did not hurt. At least not as much as I was anticipating. But I did have a problem a few weeks after the piercing. I lost the back to the original earring and replaced it with a standard back, little did I know that I would have an allergic reaction to it. I then had to take out the piercing and let it close up. I hope that this is helpful to you.

umm hi. im 13 and i wanna no how to masturbate. and explain where aeverything in your vagina is because im not sure of all the proper language. please all my friends do it but i dont know how so can someone tell me?! thanks! i rate high! just like explain how you did it your first time. thanks! (link)
Interesting question, I will say that every woman is different so it is not going to be the same for everyone. The first couple of times masterbation may not work, this is the time that you experiment with your body and what you like. During this time you will most likely discover the clitoris, which is how you will most likely have your first orgasm. I hope that this helps.

I have a problem that doesn't sound like a problem to anyone, which makes it hard to seek advice from anyone I know.

I have really big penis, thickness more than length, and this causes me a lot of problems in my love life. I have hurt some of my partners without meaning to, buying condoms is nigh impossible as they are far too constricting being designed for a slimmer girth, with more 'dainty' partners oral is difficult and other things are simply out of the question.

Some women find it intimidating enough that they won't even sleep with me or we get to that stage and then they back away or don't want to see me any more.

Talking to friends is impossible, most guys think there can't be a problem and talking to female friends about it hasn't gone well with fits of giggles or accusations that I'm boasting somehow.

I've tried lubricant, I've ordered larger size condoms online but they tend to be longer as well as thicker and don't fit right. Is surgery an option?

I'm entering into a much longer term relationship and I want to make sure I'm not imposing on or hurting my partner as much as possible.

Please help, I'm at my wit's end. (link)
I just want to say that surgery is not a good option. You will lose a lot of sensations, and that would limit the pleasure you experience during sex. I would just suggest taking it slowly. You may also try masterbation before sex so that the erection is not as rigid. Hope this helps.

My "friend" and I were wondering (well, he thinks he knows, but I don't believe him)...

I know a 13f who just had her 5th kid. She wants to keep breast feeding to keep from getting pregnant again. Is this a crock of shit, or does she know something I don't?


Is it valid birth control to prolong lactation? (link)
It is completely possibile toget pregnant when you are breast feeding. Make sure that she is aware of forms of birth control. Hope this helps.

right iv been goin out with my girlfreind for 9 weeks now and its been amazing i can chat to her about anything weve never had an argument or anything its mad i ring her every nite and we talk for hours i see her nearly every day is this normal lol!! its crazy is it love or am i jus geting everything muddled up. i really am crazy about her is it normal lol?? advice would be great thanx:) (link)
No one can tell you whether you are in love or not...but you might be. Just think back over your day, do you think about her constantly, can't get her off your mind? Do you make decision with what she would want in mind? If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably in love. Hope this helps.

So there's this guy that's 29 and I'm really attracted to him, both physically and emotionally. We can talk for long periods of time without getting bored and we talk about anything and everything. He's funny, charming, polite, smart, handsome, responsible, everything I look for in a guy. We get along really well and seem to really click. We have fun doing whatever we do. The thing is, I'm 18. I think that's the only thing that's standing in the way of us taking this a step further. I personally don't have a problem with the age difference, but I think he does. What should I do? I really like him and can honestly say that I'm falling in love with him. (link)
I do not see anything wrong with an age difference, but if it is a problem for him, take things slowly. I was in a similar position and I just had to wait it out. He eventually realized that he was also in love with me, and the age differenc is not such a big deal. I hope this helps.

Jenn


What's the average no. of hrs of sleep I should get?

I'm a light sleeper and I get woken up easily by noises. What can I do to ensure uninterrupted sleep?

Any good advice will be much appreciated. (link)
It depends on the person...but the average is eight hours. You could try some relaxation music (you can find this almost anywhere). A good one will lead you in ways to relax, ie: breathing, etc. I hope this helps.

Jenn


I think i just got my first period but its a browny color like poo and i dont no if its normal or if its not please help me !!!! (link)
This is completely normal. The browny color is because the blood is older, this is normal and is because it is your first period. Your following periods should be what you call a "normal" color. Hope this helps.

Jenn


I have a hair straightener that works okay.. but I asked my mom for a new one for Christmas and I was wondering which one would be better: Remington wet2straight, Helen of Troy (I think that's the name), or Conair Infiniti? Thanks! :) (link)
My only opinion is to not get a wet to dry straigtener. This dries your hair out and is not worth the "time saved". Just go with a hot ceramic straigtener. Hope this helped.
