my mom went threw my journels and red some stuff about how bad i want to die and details about a time where i was raped and she flipped out at me

i feel so betrayed that MY mother did this because she always talks about how journels are a good thing, and one time i had my friend pamela sleep over and she wont let me have her over anymore because pamela snooped and red one of my journels.. and my sister read my moms journel once and she was grounded for 2 weeks

she doesn't listen to what i say though when i try to explain how i feel she just says im being selfish and just trying to turn this around on her

what can i do to make her see what she did was rong she wont even apoligize..

This is complicated. Yes, what your mother did was unfair and she did betray your trust but on the other hand, she IS your mother and she has a right to know what's going on so she can be the best parent she can.

Have you asked yourself why she may have read them? You say you wrote about how you wanted to commit suicide and that you were raped. If you were giving off signs that you weren't happy then your mother was probably worried about you and wanted to get to the core of the problem. Yes, she could have asked you straight out what was wrong instead of going behind your back but at the end of the day, her intentions were good.

When you say she flipped out at you, I doubt she did it in anger. It's more likely that she was worried about you and upset that you hadn't told her.

However, reading someone's diary is wrong and she was being hypocritical. Find her when she's in a good mood, sit her down and ask her to listen to you. Tell her that you understand that she needed to find out what was going on but that it upsets you that she went behind your back and read something private to you. If you make her see that you understand both sides of the argument then she will probably apologize and admit she was wrong. But it may take some apologizing on your part too for not telling her about how you felt about your life and that you were raped.

My mom is friend's with this lady [40] who is gay. You wouldn't think she was but she told me. Well, I go to work with the lady and when i [13] sleep over we sleep in the same bed because i dont like sleeping on the couch. Does that make me gay because i've heard if you sleep with a gay person thas makes you gay? 13/f .. [ i dont think it is true ]

and are you born gay?

I sleep on the same bed as my sister when we stay at my Grandparents house, that doesn't make me an incestial lesbian. Just because you sleep on the same bed it doesn't make you homosexual, even if the other person is. It's like if you had a friend who told you they were homosexual, would you then assume that they fancied all their female friends? Even if you did something physical with this woman, that wouldn't necessarily make you a lesbian. I have friends who have kissed members of the same sex, some have gone even further than that and they're completely straight. When you're a teenager, you go through loads of hormone changes which cause you to explore your sexuality. It doesn't mean you have to label yourself with gay, straight or bi.

So, in short, no sleeping in the same bed as a gay person wont make you gay.

As to your other question, the answer is complex. A baby can't really be born gay, maybe there's a hormone in them when they're born that causes them to be gay in later life. But you can't tell what sexuality a baby is going to be. Some people know that they're gay from a young age but it really depends on the person. Some people only develop it when they get older, that could mean that they were born like that, they just didn't develop it until they grew up. I'm bisexual but I haven't always been. I only started having feelings for the same sex as I got older, but there are people who were aware of their feelings for other girls or other boys from the ages of 5 and 6.

is it wrong for a 13M to have been never been kissed.

No way, half my 13-year-old friends have never been kissed. Some people have their first kiss quite I early on in life, I was only 11, but some don't until they're much older. If you haven't been kissed yet then you probably haven't found the right girl/boy. Don't worry about it, you'll do it one day.

hey is it possible to pierce your own pussy? and if it is what is a safe way to do it?

Piercing your own vagina is incredibly unsafe. It could end up getting infected and as it is around your groinal area, that could be fatal. I suggest you wait until you're 18 (the legal age to get gentalia pierced) and have it done professionally. If you absolutely must do it yourself then make sure the intruments you're using are sterilised and that you don't pierce something like your clitoris. Stick to your labia (vaginal lips) and be really careful.

if youu sleep on your stomach/chest at night does it stunt your boob growth?? n is there n e way to make them bigger w/ out surgery?

You can strap fully armour to your chest and it wouldn't stunt the growth. 'If you wear an underwired bra they wont grow', 'if you wear a bra in bed they wont grow', 'if you go swimming they wont grow'...They're all myths. Unfortunately you can make them any bigger without surgery, you just have to wait for nature to take it's course.

im going to the mall tomorrow to by new clothes and i was wonderin if there are any other stores like hot topic or stores that arent really "preppy"?
thanks in advance!

Look for little shops that aren't big chains like Hot Topic. Where I live, we have shops called BS8 and Clothing Federation. They sell alternative clothing, just look for ones that aren't well known. That's where you can usually get the best stuff.

What exactly is "feeling up"
What would it be considered if a guy fondled with your chest? 'Feeling up?'
What is the guy about to do if he takes one of his fingers and starts at the top of your head and sloly draws a line down the middle of your body?

Feeling up is when one person uses their hands on someone else's body. So yes, if a guy fondled your chest, it would be 'feeling up'.

What he's about to do depends on the guy. It's meant to turn you on.

hi i'm 15,male,ohio and there is this girl that i like but shes really popular and i'm not i'm hated by everyone popular and i'm not sure if she hates me and i'd really like to get to know her shes gave me her number but never sits by me on the bus and jus says hi.

Well if she gave you her number then isn't that a good sign?

Okay, so she doesn't sit near you but she says hi to you. Next time she says hi, why not start a conversation with her? Ask her if she's had a good day/weekend/holiday/whatever.

If that's not possible then call her. She gave you her number, she wants you to call her. Girls don't give out their number to people they hate.

Call her, speak to her, you have nothing to lose.

ok, well i recently just took a vacation to a beach about 20 hours away. On the last day I found a guy who I REALLY like, and I know he liked me. We hung out until about 1-2 in the morning then I had to go back to my hotel room. The morning after I left without seeing him at all. Now here I am at home and I can't stop thinking about him. Anything I say His name is in my sentace. Are there any ways to get off my mind? I can't go back to the beach because, well, I'm only 14, and he's only 14, so we both can't drive.

I'm in the same situation really.

When I was on holiday in France last week I met a guy who I liked who liked me back but he lives on the other side of the country.

I suppose it's kind of like breaking up with someone.

Try and occupy yourself with outings with friends and doing things you enjoy. If you ever find a spare moment and start thinking about him then go and do something to take your mind off it. Eventually you'll stop thinking about him and move on. I know it's hard, I'm going through the same thing but you can do it if you really want to.

do guys prefer it when your vagina is shaven or just left?

It depends on the guy. Most teenage guys prefer it shaven but it's up to you whether you shave or not.

i have really big hips well there not huge but thats where i seem to put on weight so how do i slim down healthly im not fat but i would love to loose a couple of pounds but without cutting out food cause i love food too much.lol

The best way to lose weight is a simple, healthy eating diet. You don't have to cut OUT food, you just need to restrict yourself a bit more. For example, if you feel like a chocolate bar, have a healither chocolate fruit bar. There are loads of different brands and flavours to choose from and they will satisfy your cravings just as much as a normal chocolate bar would, it's just healthier.

A little bit of excercise wouldn't be too bad either. If you get the bus anywhere, try to get off a stop or two early so you can walk the rest of the way for a change. Or if the place you're heading is in walking distance then why not walk? Cycling is really good for you and is a great way to keep fit and healthy, you could try that too. Also, swimming is an excellent way to excercise your whole body, and it doesn't have to be boring. Organise bike rides and go swimming with your friends. Or if there's a sport you like, get some friends together and go and play it in the park.

If you get into the routine of regular excercise then you'll lose weight and stay in the routine so that you're always fit and healthy. Like I said, don't feel that you can't treat yourself to treats and snacks but try and cut down a little. As long as you're excercising most days then it's fine to eat, just make sure you don't lie around eating and not having any form of excercise ever.

ok well my friend said that i should wear a bra when i go to bed to prevent me from getting saggy boobs when im older is that the right thing to do?

It is really uncommon to wear a bra in bed. Going without one at night is what most people do, it wont really make your boobs saggy to not wear one in bed. If you choose to then it will probably give you a bad back so I don't advise it but it's up to you.

is jacking off alot bad for getting boners

I don't think so. It probably has the opposite effect, actually.

what does it mean to hook up?

It has different meanings depending on the person. It usually means making out or having sex with someone, as in 'Claire and Bob hooked up at that party.' But it can also mean that two people became and item/couple/whatever you prefer to call it. 'Claire and Bob hooked up a couple of months ago and they're still together now.' Some people use it instead of 'meeting up'. As in 'I'm hooking up with Claire and Bob later.'

Ok so when im going to have my period, im scared that people will know that im changing my pads.. is there anyway on how to silence things up? it gets really embarassing for me cause im a tomboy...

A trick I always use if their are other people around when I'm changing my tampon is to flush the toilet then unwrap it while it's flushing. That way the noice of the wrapper will be drowned out by the flush, it works.

is it normal for teenage girls to masturbate?

It's normal for both girls and boys of any age to masturbate.

[view]


i just got my period and i was wondering what kind of tampons are best

I suggest you use a low aborbancy tampon as you have only just started. In my opinion, the best and easiest to use tampons for when you first start are Tampax starters. They are really easy to use when you get the hang of them and are made really slim for beginners.

hey, i asked about masturbating, so is it bad if that stuff comes out before u ever have sex?

No that's normal. Every time you reach orgasm, the stuff will come out. It doesn't matter whether you've had sex or not.
