well i have a gyno appointment next week and i'm kind of scared because i've never been there before. my mom doesn't know that my boyfriend and I have sex, but she made a comment about going on birth control if i think me and drew are going to have sex. i think i should but yet i dont know what to do because she will automatically know that me and drew have sex or that we are thinking about it. my mom says to tell her if me and drew were ever to do it but im afraid. should i go on the pill ? what do you think ?
If you're having sex, it's in your best interest to go on the pill. And you mom doesn't have to know. It's between you and your doctor.

Does anyone know any rape support lines I could call?
If you've *just* been raped, contact the police. Don't shower. Otherwise, I recommened the RAINN hotline.

ive had a really rough year. just when it seems like things will get better, they get worse. ive thought about suicide and have tried taking pills and cutting myself (only once though). im never happy anymore and when im by myself i cry a lot. i think i need help. how do i change myself? i wanna be happy like i used to, but nothing can make this feeling inside of me go away.
See a doctor/counselor. If you've been feeling this way for more than two weeks, you might be clinically depressed. And although others have different opinions on antidepressants, I will testify as someone who's definitely benefitted from them.

Hey, my friend Emily is 14 and she just recently started to look up porn on the internet. I was thinking, this girl is 14! But, do you think it's normal for a girl in her young teens to look up adult images on the net? I need to know so I can tell her! Please help and I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much! - Serena
There's nothing inherently wrong with a 14-year-old looking at pornography. However, if that's the only sex/nudity she's exposed to, she might start thinking it's realistic (i.e. she might think there's something wrong with her body because she doesn't have beach ball breasts, flawless skin, or giant, bright pink, duck-lip labia.)

I want some good slogans like for Kerry to win so I can put it in my info.. Anybody got any good ones.. I only have this one so far:
Bush trying to lead america, is like a blind man trying to help deaf people. - Paul O'Niel..
Thanks!
Do you really think slogans in your info will influence the outcome of the presidential election?

Well, I'm 14 and I'm in 9th grade. I think I'm failing 2 of my classes this year. My sister understood kinda she's 21. But, she told my mom 9th grade is the hardest grade. But My mom said shes going to take away my internet if I fail something this year, and then I'll be screwed. I'm in Algebra 1. And it's SO difficult, I have gotten an F on every test possible in that class, I just don't understand how to do anything, I've asked the teacher for help n stuff. But, he just always says. "maybe you should pay attention in class" but I do. I've told my mom a numerous amount of times. And she keeps telling me to bring my book home so she can teach me, but I know she won't know anything. And when I told her last night that I might be failing 2 things on my report card, she compared me to my 3 older brothers and sisters, and how they've never failed something, and she would be disapointed. And I just don't know what to say to her, it really hurts that she can't understand where I'm coming from. And I'm trying harder. How can I get her to understand where I'm coming from? Please help.
I don't know what to tell you about your relationship with your mom (my mom is the same way). As for algebra: get a tutor. Meet with your teacher or another student after school to help you understand the concepts.

You have a psychological problem. Talk to a doctor?

I'm going to be a barbie for halloween... what are some good ideas... (hair, outfit, makeup) that would go with that? Thank you!
Fake eyelashes are a must. Make-up bordering on "clown" is a must (dark, sparkly eyeshadow up to your eyebrows, for example). High, firm breasts are a must (cut a large foam ball in half, maybe?) Barbie is super-tall, so you'll need some major heels, too.

Im thinking about getting my labret pierced. My question is to all of you that has it pierced. Does it hurt? Is there any important vains in your lip to be worried about? Do you keep feeling? And are you happy about it now?
You won't have any problems if you go to a licensed piercer. S/he knows where the nerves/veins/etc are and where it's safe to pierce.

Okay. My boyfriend and I are thinking about going for the whole oral sex thing...and something about the whole subject really weirds me out. Like, I can't imagine giving a guy a blowjob, but it weirds me out even more to think of him going down on me.
For background, we've been together over 11 months, we've had sex, and we've usually kinda skipped over the oral issue. If it matters, I'm 17 and he's 18. I know I should just wait 'til I'm comfy with the whole idea, but I don't think I'll be comfy with it until I figure out what it is that's weirding me out. Anyone have any ideas?
If you're uncomfortable with it (giving OR receiving), you don't have to do it yet (or ever). If you're weirded out because penises seem "dirty," you can always do it in the shower. You can also start out practicing on his fingers - it's a major turn-on in itself. Also, contrary to popular opinion, you don't have to shave, although a bit of a trim might make things easier for him.

Im tall like not gigantic but im bout 5 6' and im 14 and im not even 100 pounds i dont have an eating disorder i just have always been really skinny cuz i have a good metabolism. How can I gain weight so people will stop making fun of me and i'll feel better about myself?
It's perfectly normal for your body to be like that at your age. Once you're done growing (approx. 2 years after starting your period), you'll start fleshing out. For now, you can start lifting weights - even if you don't get any bigger, it'll prevent bone density problems later in life :) Don't do any drastic to gain weight until you're post-puberty, though.

ok, does any oen know any good ways to get rid of hiccups? and fast? and is it bad if i get hiccups on an almost daily basis? please help me out
You need to deprive your diaphragm of oxygen (a hiccup is the diaphragm contracting). Hold your breath for as long as you possibly can.

im kind of insecure about my private area. i have washed with plain soap n water, ive douched, used feminine wash..what else is there to do?
Douching isn't necessary. Soap and water is all you need. If the smell is really strong, there might be something wrong and you should talk to a doctor. But seriously, you shouldn't douche.

I am a major in French Spanish and English in my high school. I want to take that farther. What kind of jobs are offered that pay well to people who speak languages really well? What colleges offer such a thing?
Translators make a shitload of money and basically choose their own hours...

Hey everybody!
I asked this question before and I really got some good answers, and some had me thinkin. So i am going to be more specific.
I am a 14yr old boy who likes girls (typical). But just over the summer i knew i was bi. right now in october i still like other
boys and i have a crush on one too! however i still like girls as in
emotionally and socially, but i like boys for all 3 emotional, social, and sexually. i would still go with a girl, but i prefer a boy because it's something diffrent. i think i know i'm gay but i still need to know if i should just be completly gay and forget girls!?!
It's not like you have to apply for a Change-of-Sexual-Orientation form or anything. Just be yourself.

My friend's dad smokes. She is afraid he will die! She says that he has been coughing really bad latly. She says he is trying to stop smoking, but not really suceeding. She says that he is the one who brings all the money to the family, and shes just very afraid. She is afraid he will die from cancer or something. So basically, i need some advice in helping her through these hard times, and maybe if theres a good way to help her dad smoking. Thank you!
Daddies always fall for the "I want you to be there to walk me down the aisle at my wedding" line. Quivery lip, watery puppy-dog eyes, and you've got him. Also, I know quite a few people who found acupuncture has helped them stop smoking when everything else failed.

has anyone here become pregnant at a young age? please tell me ur story, im 15 and 3 weeks pregnant, n i dont know if i should get an abortion. what did ur parents say and do?
This is really a question for a Planned Parenthood (or similar) counselor. No matter what you decide to do, this is going to affect you for the rest of your life, and it's really better in the hands of a professional. How much you involve your parents really depends on what kind of people they are and your relationship with them.

Are any of you vegetarians? If you are, what are your reasons for becoming one?
A pound of meat requires a helluva lot more area and resources that it takes to produce a pound of vegetables. It's just wasteful. Also, high cholesterol and lactose intolerance run in my genes.
