Alright, i'm 15 years old and I stated my period when I was 12. I knew it would be irregular for a while, but this isn't normal..
The first time I got it, was a December. I didn't get it again until August, the next year. I got it again in November, then from November up to July, it was enitrely normal. Every single month, I would get it the same time every month. For almost 9 straight months it was completely regular. It's now April, and I haven't had it since last July.. That's almost a year. I have no clue what to do, or think. I've talked to my family doctor about this, but she brushed it off as me being stressed. I really need help here.
Can anyone relate to my situiation?
Is getting on the pill a good idea at my age?
Will it cause me to get a regular period again?
How can I tell my mom I want to get on the pill, or talk about my period without it being awkward?
Please help,
Thanks
Have you lost alot of weight over the past year? Or do you do alot of sport? Those are common things that can stop periods but not the only ones. Although some females just have naturally unpredictable periods, it would be a good idea to go to your doctor again anyway to make sure everything is okay. Perhaps it would be a good idea to ask to see a different one this time.
Going on the Pill could help you and you can discuss it with your doctor when you go. He/she may want to do some blood tests to make sure there isn't anything serious happening behind the scenes.
Don't feel awkward about talking to your Mum. Remember that she's female too! Just pick a moment when you're alone and relaxed together and mention the fact that you're worried about your periods. I'm sure she'd even be happy to go to the doctor with you if you wanted her to.
Try not to worry about it too much and don't feel embarrassed, this isn't uncommon.

Hey I'm the one who wrote the question called "a real love story"-about Matt and Claire. The really cheesy, overly dramatic, about to cry sorta way of writing? That's me.
This is not retorical, this is not supposed to be rude, and I'm not angry, I'm just curious- but you said to stop playing games..what game am I playing?
I meant games with each other. You need to both stop avoiding your true feelings and be honest and open with each other. I didn't mean it in a malicious sense at all.

Once upon a time, there were two music lovers; Matt and Claire. They were on the way home from camp on a bus, and Matt turned to claire and shyly asked for her number. She gave it to him, and they soon after became friends. Their relationship became very strong, and they were best friends. One day they were on a trip, and Matt realized he had feelings for Claire. He never left her side during the band trip. At the end of the trip, he couldn't take it. He wanted to ask her out. He asked her best friend, Anna, if he should ask her. Unfortunatly, claire had feelings for another boy. Anna told Matt this, and his heart was broken. It took a while for his feelings to subside for her, he almost asked her out again, but wasn't brave enough. He gave up, and as his feelings slipped away, so did their friendship. Matt dated other girls, but Claire stayed single. She always had oppurtunities for relationships, but she couldn't find the right one. Then she realized it was because she had feelings for Matt. She was in love with him for such a long time. She knew that Matt didn't love her anymore, and she knew it would be better to get over him, but she couldn't do it. She had never felt feelings for other boys than she did for Matt. Matt and claire became best friends again, and claire fell deeper and deeper in love. Matt still dated other girls, but never felt a real connection. As Matt was with another girl, he started to act differently around claire. He missed her when she went on vacations, and always wanted to be with her.
This is a true story, and yes I just poured my heart out to you strangers.
I'm Claire, and my best friend is Matt.
I don't know what to think, I don't know what to think, I don't know how to act, I don't know what to say, I'm at a total loss right now.
To the people who decide whether it's worth it putting this on the site-I'm giving you my heart here. This is my lifes love story.
Help.

I just don't understand why you aren't together. Stop playing games and be honest about how you feel.

Every day I do the same exact thing, minor details change but it isnt the life I want to live. Every day I get closer and closer to just packing up and leaving everything. My family, school, friends, girlfriend. How do I bring some excitement into my life and break the chain that im stuck in?
The best piece of advice I ever received was 'if you don't like a situation, change it and if you can't change the situation, change your attitude.'
You don't say how far along in school you are but you have to remember that once you've finished, things will change. It might help to start thinking about what you're going to do next, whether that be in terms of colleges/universities or careers. If there's a particular area you're interested in, why not pursue some work experience in it? Even if it's unpaid, it'll be great experience and will look good to future employers. It will also give you a sense of purpose and you'll feel like you're actually getting somewhere. The same could also be said for volunteer work. You may think it sounds boring but you could find it very rewarding.
If you're that fed up with life that even your friends and girlfriend are boring to you, then it's time to make a change there. Perhaps it's time to reassess where your relationships with the people in your life? If you have friends who are bringing you down and making you miserable, don't be afraid to sever your ties with them and make some new ones. The same goes for your girlfriend.
Join a club, get a haircut, try something you'd never usually try, take up a new hobby. Pin point the areas in your life you'd like to change and work to make those changes.

Everytime my periods coming, my boobs swell a whole cup size. Its very painful, and there not very large. Just B cups, but when they swell to a C's it hurts really badly. I don't know what to do or how to stop this from happening.
Is there any way i can stop this from happening?
This is very normal and happens to alot of people around the time of their period.
There are couple of things you can do to help make ease the discomfort. The first is to go on the Pill. Many females start taking the Pill for reasons related to their periods rather than contraception. It can make your periods lighter and more regular, as well as relieving symptoms associated with them, such as cramps and swelling. Go to your doctor to talk about the best type for you.
If you'd rather not take the Pill, you could try taking something called Evening Primrose Oil, which is a natural oil taken from the seeds of a flower. Evening Primrose Oil is taken in capsules every day, even when you're not on your period and is thought to help relieve sensitivity, pain and swelling during your period. It can also help with general stress and tension.
It might also be a good idea to get a bra which fits while you are on your period. You might find a sports bra more comfortable and supportive during this time.

19/female.
So I'm currently in my second year of college but I have a good friend who i've known for like 5 years now in high school and he's graduating this year. Well me and him have always had a strange realtionship, we're more than friends but not in a relationship. Anyways I feel obligataed to go to his grad party but there will be so many people from his high school (he went to a different one than i did) because he is a popular jock. he plays football hockey and baseball so basically everyone from his school will be there hahaa and I just think it would be awkward for me becasue I won't know anyone and I feel like all the girls will be staring at me like whose this girl and his ex girlfriend who he is still close with will be there obviously and it's just awkward for me with her there too. He's my cousins next door neighbor so i'd know my cousin and I'd probably bring my friend that this guy knows, but I still really don't want to go. Me and her would be sitting there by ourselves bascially while everyone talks and we feel awkward. He'd be so mad at me if I didn't go so I know I will have to go at least for a little bit because I'm going for HIM but how can I make it so I don't feel so awkward because you know how high school girls are - judgemental. Any suggestions??
If you go there with the attitude that it's going to be awkward, then it probably will be. Go to the party with the intention of having a good time, meeting new people and above all, celebrating the graduation of a good friend. If you sit in the corner not speaking to anyone, then of course it's going to be awkward because you will appear rude and disinterested. Why not ask your cousin or your friend to introduce you to some of their friends? Don't let your paranoia ruin what could be really fun. Just relax, look like you're enjoying yourself and don't be afraid to talk to new people.
If it does turn out to be bad and you really aren't having a good time then stick it out for a couple of hours, make your excuses and leave. Remember that you're there for your friend and it obviously means alot to him that you go.

13/f i haven't gotten my first period yet but when i do im planning to use tampons but is it okay if i practice putting the applicator in? thanks.
It's okay to practice, as long as you don't leave it in. If you do decide to, I'd suggest using slim, low absorbency ones as you may find bigger sizes a bit uncomfortable.

Okay, i went to new jeresy shore like 1 week ago, and i got badly sunburnt. So my skin is peeling really badly. i tryed aloe of all kinds, and its not stopping. what can i do to get it to stop. ill rate ;]
Although the aloe should help with the pain, there isn't really alot you can do to stop the peeling. Using a sensitive moisturiser regularly may help the appearance and feeling of the skin but other than that you just have to wait it out and be more careful with the sunscreen in future.

can you have sex when you are on your period?
You can, you probably won't want to though.

17/F and my boyfriend is the same, except male. We've been. Going out for just over a year. Ok, backstory complete.
First off, if you're here to berate or belittle me, please leave. I'm scared enough as it is. Also, don't tell me I'm too young to be having sex. I'm in very stable and loving relationship in which we always take the proper precautions. Secondly, please don't ask me to go see my doctor. That's not an option for me...
I hope that didn't sound too mean! But, here's what happened: I got my period on the 12th (right on schedule). It was super light, like at the beginning of every one of my periods. It's usually light for the first two days and then on the third day it gets pretty heavy. Alright, so, on the 13th I woke up and my period was kind of gone. I thought this was a bit weird, but I didn't really worry too much about this. My boyfriend came over that same night and we had sex with a condom. I guess somewhere in the middle the condom broke and my boyfriend finished in me. We didn't find out until after. Now, normally I would be really scared. However, I thought I had started my period. I know when you have your period, you can still get pregnant... but it's rare, and I felt ok about it. Well, on the 14th my period didn't come back and today, the 15th, it didn't come back either. I'm extremely confused and very worried. Something's not right. Could I be pregnant? How likely is it that I am? And if I am, do you guys have any advice for telling my parents? Thanks so much in advance! Xoxox
The only way you can find out if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test.
The chances of getting pregnant while on your period are slim but as you said, it can happen. It could just be that the stress is causing your period to be late. Take a test, and put your mind at rest.
You don't need to worry about telling your parents until you know whether you even need to tell them anything in the first place.

so there are the seasons episodes.. and there are something called character video diaries too? what are those for? do we watch them in order or anything? can anyone clarify this? thanks
The video diaries are just extras to give more insight into the character. They don't affect the plot of the show and you don't need to watch them in order.

Hey everybody quick question. Is it normal to love 3 different types of music equally? and to dress in three different categories?. For an example i listen to really heavy metal, club music like house euro jumpstyle etc... and i also listen to rap. and i dress like all those at different times during the week etc... depending on where im going. i love all 3 types of music but is this normal?
Listen to whatever you like and dress however you feel most comfortable. Anyone who doesn't accept you for crossing genres is probably incredibly dull. It's sad and stupid when people feel the need to stick to a certain stereotype.

im 14 and my girlfriend is 15. we have been going out for about 2 years now and we think it is time we have sex. i plan on using a condom but, she is still kinds nervos about her getting prego. what should we do?
I suggest you use a back-up method of contraception, such as the Pill. No contraception is fool proof but the Pill combined with condoms are pretty much the safest you're going to get.
I won't lecture you but you are both very young so please make sure you are 100% about this before you do it. Don't have sex because you think you should, do it because you both want to and feel completely ready.

Me and my boyfriend had a romantic evening last night. Didnt have sex but he cummed on my tummy and breasts, sounds stupid i know, but im scared it might have found its way south... really dont want to be pregnant
do you think i should find a morning after pill to take, or am i just being paranoid?
Unless semen entered your vagina, you cannot be pregnant. It is very unlikely that any sperm made it up there but if you're really that worried, take the morning after pill. In future, be more careful and you won't have to worry.

difference between ethics and morals?
Assuming you are asking in a philosophical sense, a moral is an ethical motive based on one's view of right and wrong. Ethics is the philosophical study of morals and values.

why is there blood when i have a bowel movement?
You need to go and see a doctor as soon as possible. Blood when passing a bowel movement can mean any number of things and it can be serious. No one can diagnose you online, it's really important you see a professional.

I just watched the entire series in like less than a week and just saw the finale. and i feel so sad.. okay chris dead.. wtf he was my favorite character!!!!! like when i think about which character i'd miss the most or which character I'd love to know in real life from seasons 1&2 its definitely Chris (with Tony a close second haha). And I felt sooo sad they had to split.. what happened to that guy who was with Cassie anyways in NY? why did he leave? i dont get that part.. and why Cassie was crying (from episode 9.. Cassie's ep, season 2 obv) when he left. did she want to be with him or Sid? And then I just wanted to see more of them! like what happened to Tony and Michelle.. they definitely should be together but their universities are so far away from each other. And then yeah like with Chris dying I felt so bad for Jal!!!! ****, her and Chris were the perfect couple. Chris was such a great boyfriend. I even felt bad for Sketch when in the beginning of the season I despised her. but if Anwar stayed with her it would be a pretty tame life for him so i think its great he went to london with maxxie and his bf.. not like he would have gotten into a university. i wonder why he did so bad in school too.. wow. omg but what about his parents? he'll just leave them behind? haha i wish Skins wasnt so depressive.. everyone's life isn't a **** up! omg and the ending was so BA its ridiculous. with Effy raising her eyebrows cause shes gonna be in the new season. I hate how I could tell Chris was gonna die too... there were so many hints. Blahh im just gonna miss watching them. I guess I'll watch the new season but im a bit worried if it will be as good as the past 2. im watching them online btw, i live in the states.
And Cassie is such a ***** sometimes with her snarky remarks! gosh. maybe chris wouldnt have died if she took better care of him. Jal too, actually. She should have told Chris sooner.. talked to Chris sooner. then they would have told each other their secrets. And all the characters in the show needed to be more forgiving! like it took them so long to get over things. and Jal should have used a fricken condom or birth control! i cant believe none of the other characters got preggo so its ironic that jal of all people does.
I mean I know Season 1 was sad too.. but now its even sadder cause its all over. WAHHHH :(
The ending was supposed to be bittersweet. The writers wanted to tie up loose ends while still leaving a sense of mystery. The characters were being replaced so they needed to make sure the ending was final but without the viewers being disappointed. As the characters were going their separate ways to different universities and cities, it wasn't practical for all the couples to get back together and be happy.
Chris would always have died, he had a serious condition, it didn't matter how well Cassie took care of him. You have to remember that Cassie struggled with depression and an eating disorder, she wasn't in the perfect state to look after or be in a relationship with anyone.
Season 3 (and 4 which is just starting here in the UK) is different but it's not terrible. It's difficult to adjust to because the characters are different but it has its own appeal.
I only actually watch it because it's filmed in the city where I live and everyone knows at least ten people who have been in it and hate how they change the geography. It's a bit of a running joke.

Hello there
Well my husband and i have been married a little over a year now. I'm not on any form of birth control and when we have sex we dont ever use condoms and he never pulls out. It has been this way the whole marriage. Well I'm concerned that I havnt gotten pregnant yet. I visited the gyn late last year and tested me for a buncha things (including any stds) Well she says everything is fine with me, nothing wrong. My period has always been irregular so idk, could this possibly be a cause? I've always thought i prolly needed to do some special stuff just to get pregnant.
If we're not able to concieve naturally i dont even know how id feel about it. My husband has also questioned the fact that maybe he doesnt produce enough sperm or something but idk.
Anybody recommend anything??
If anyone has any info on this please let me know.
We def see children in our future & it would be devastating if we found out we couldnt...
Go and visit your doctor/a fertility clinic with your husband. You both need to get checked out to see what's going on (if anything at all). Once you find out if there is a problem or not, you can get advice on where to go from there.
Remember that everything could be fine. Getting pregnant is actually really difficult - the female has to be at a certain point in her cycle and a sperm has to survive long enough to make it to her egg. The odds are slim. All those teenage girls you hear of who are pregnant - they are just very unlucky. It could just be that the stars haven't aligned for you yet.
Having said that, if you don't want a baby at the moment, it's not smart to have unprotected sex.

does anyone know of any awesome Underground Artists of the indie/folk/rock persuasion ? I'm sick of mainstream and I wanna find some real good music, but I don't know where to look. So I figured I'd ask here, if you know any thanks
I don't know where you're from or what exactly you're into but here are some great British indie artists that I love who you may not have heard of:
Florence + the Machine - Amazing indie/soul-ish band fronted by Florence Welch, who has one of the best voices I've ever heard. I love her so much I have her name tattooed on my wrist.
Listen to: You've Got the Love, Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up), Dog Days Are Over.
If you're going to listen to any of these artists, she's the one I'd reccomend above all.
Bloc Party - Indie/electro-ish band, pretty easy to like.
Listen to: I Still Remember, Flux, Two More Years.
Laura Marling - Folky/indie singer/songwriter with a really beautiful voice.
Listen to: Ghosts, Cross Your Fingers, My Manic and I.
La Roux - Electro/synthpop duo fronted by Ellie Jackson who has a really unique voice. They're a bit of an aquired taste though.
Listen to: In For the Kill, Bulletproof, Cover My Eyes.
Jamie T - Indie/UK garage-esque, pretty unique and almost rap like with guitar riffs and samples from old reggae. Really catchy tunes.
Listen to: If You Got the Money, Sheila, Sticks 'N' Stones, Chaka Demus (the first two are from his first album and are slightly different to the last two).
The XX - Indie/chill out/dreamy band with beautiful vocals from their two singers, one male and one female.
Listen to: VCR, Islands, Heart Skipped a Beat.
Bat for Lashes - Indie/synth pop/dreamy singer/songwriter Natasha Khan who uses pianos, guitars and harpsichords in her music.
Listen to: Daniel, Sleep Alone, Pearl's Dream.
Marina and the Diamonds: Indie/new wave singer/songwriter Marina Diamandis. She's still relatively unknown even in the UK but she has a really different sound.
Listen to: I Am Not a Robot, Mowgli's Road, Seventeen.

k so today i was with my bf and he was saying all these nice things about me.like he was like "oh you look extra beautiful today i just dont know what it is"...then after he said all those nice things he goes "but you really do need to loose some weight,im sure you like to eat alot,your like my little sister she loves food" i was like ok WTF.he know that i go for jogs almost everyday.i told him that i go for jogs everyday and hes like yeah but thats not enough,you should join a gym and eat less.i was speechless.
ok let me describe my body size to you.i have a large frame,im smaller from the top(size12) and bigger from the bottom (size 14)...im curvy.is this fat?do i need to loose weight?i was so hurt that i teared up.he kept apologising and didnt even understand what he did wrong.he said that where hes from its not a big deal to tell a girl to loose weight and that hes sorry etc etc.
i just dont know how to get over what he said.i know he sat there for 2hours trying to explain himself...i almost broke up with him because of this but he was determined to make everything ok.
do you think he thinks im fat because he said i need to loose weight?oh i dunno,how do i get over this???
Regardless of whether or not you need to lose weight, it was unkind and inconsiderate of your boyfriend to tell you to. However, it does sound like he is genuinely sorry.
Some people are naturally curvier than others and there's nothing wrong with that. I'd suggest you check your BMI (body mass index): http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/. If it's within the healthy range then you shouldn't worry. If it is slightly over, then continuing with your daily jogs and ensuring you have a balanced diet is the healthiest way to lose weight. Having said that, if YOU are comfortable with your body then don't listen to what your boyfriend says. You should lose weight because YOU want to, not because someone who isn't a medical professional tells you to.
