13/f

My discharge smells TERRIBLE.
& im embarrassed by it. I take
showers daily, and im sick of
feeling dirty and stuff. Any
remedies that you make AT HOME
[so parents dont find outttt]
& is safe to put down there?

no one really mentioned this, so i'm going to tell you.
talk to your mom about taking you to the doctor. it's nothing weird or anything, it's normal. all women get yeast infections and such from time to time. Just tell her what is going on, she'll understand, she's gone through it too.
If you can't trust your mom for some reason, then talk to a trusted adult, preferably female.
Just know, it's normal. Get to a doctor, and you'll be okay.

good luck =]

what do you wear when you sleep for your period? cause arnt you only suppost to keep tampons in for a sertain number of hours, though when i sleep in pads it gets all over

well i personally wear a pad when i sleep. but, you can wear a tampon, but because of the whole certian hours thing, maybe only do that on school nights when you know you'll only be sleeping for a certian number of hours.

i suggest Always pads. they have "wings" and i never usually have problem. just put a new pad on before you go to bed.

(sorry it took me so long to reply)

well it was my first time using a tampon and i read the directions over and over again. and i didntput it in far enough. and when i was pulling it out it hurt reallly bad. and it got some blood on my underwear. and now it still hurts. btw im 13/f

you needed to let it absorb some blood to be able to pull it out. it does hurt really bad if the tampon is dry.

so today about 20 minutes ago
my left eye started to go all blury
like how when you look at a light for too long and it goes all werid
and i dont know how to stop it or anything!!!
but its fine when im in the dark its just goes like that when i enter light or lighter places
someone help!
im scared im going blind
or that something will happen
i need help!

I'm pretty sure that's a mirgrane. I got one of those during school last year and I went to nurses' office and i thought i was going blind.
Just go take some advil or something and go lie down, if it happens again.
That only really happens to me when I'm really really stressed out, so you may have been stressed.

If it continues, see a doctor.

Okay so I'm 14 (girl btw) ...5'0 and I'm about 85 pounds. I obviously have a high metabolism and I have to gain 95ish pounds before xmas or... I'm going to the hospital because my mom thinks I have an eating disorder (i dont) How do I gain weight and actually "keep it up" ?

It is NOT healthy to gain 95lbs. and your mother wants you to be 180pounds!?!?!? no.. DO not try to gain weight. When she takes you to the hospital, they will tell her you have a fast metabolism. Do not worry. It's not your problem. My mom worried about me for a bit too, but I finally started gaining weight because my metabolism slowed down.
Just don't worry. You'll be fine. My friend has the same problem, but she's starting to gain weight.
Good luck, hun!

alright well my hair is getting dried and my ends are splitting mostly because i straighten it like everyday. i use this gel stuff for when i get out of the shower so it can protect my hair from getting damaged but im guessing its not working... does anyone know of anything to use for my hair..?

You need a hair trim. That will help your hair greatly. You should get your hair trimmed about every 3 months.

i start school soon & the doctor says i can use herbal stuff to help me get to sleep earlier than im us eto...have any of you used it and tel me if its worked? thanks

Chamomile tea. Drink that before you go to bed.
Or you can take this vitamin called "Maletonin". I use that. Talk to your doctor about it first though!
Other than that, I recommend Chamomile tea (make sure there's no sugar).

This sounds stupid but yeah..

Ok, so im a young teen, and my friends are more "matured" then me.I mean like they have boobs and i dont ; they have their period and i dont.I went for that check-up thing when your about 12-13 .. and they said i wouldnt start maturing till im a freshmen, well its not that long away im going into eigth grade .. but i feel like boys wont like me and i feel unconfortable in bathing suites around boys .. what should i do .. just deal with it?

Yeah basically all you can do is deal with it. My friend is the same way, but she finally started "maturing" last year (8th grade). But what the doctor said is probably only a prediction.
and, don't worry about boys in the 8th grade, they are asses then. =P

ok well my dentist told me i will need braces for my lower teeth. and my mom promised she will get me invisilign i know its a bit expensive but i dont wanna wear braces.and now my mom said she isnt sure if she can aford invislign.and i dont wanna wear braces in high school.waht should i do?

You can barely see braces on your lower teeth. And if you don't need them that bad, then don't get them, but there a "clear" braces too that aren't invislign and they are a little bit more expensive, but braces are worth it. and having them in highschool won't be a big deal, really.

well im 14/f n there are tymes where i would want to die. see im not scared about dieing i would do it in a hearbeat but then i start thinking about my family and friends and how i want a family when i grow up. is this only me or are there other people feeling like this?
i rate high

It's called depression, dear. Please tell one of your parents about this and they can get you some help. Therapy can work wonders.

we all know that the more you shave, the darker and thicker the hair comes in. well every time I shave my bikini area, it comes in darker and thicker and appears in more areas the more I shave. I was wondering if I could wax it, also to prevent the red little bumps I get every time. you know how you can go out to a beauty supply store to buy home eyebrow wax kits? can you use those for the pubic area? also, those who have tried waxing down there, does it keep the hair off way longer? thanks.

It doesn't come in darker or thicker. That's a myth.


*edit: you gave me a one..why? god. i was telling you the truth. guess you want lies.

My friend weighs like 70lbs and she can't gain weight and she just turned 12!!! Is this normal? ( oh yea and she eats like a PIG)

completely normal. I weighed the same thing at 12...except that's when I started gaining weight..haha yeah. she just has a fast metabolism.

[view]


ok i turning 13 this year and i am really tall(5'5) I weigh about 20lbs over what i am so puppose to weigh...i have tried almost every diet (weight watchers jenny craig south beach ect.) and this year i want to look good. So what are some eating habbits or deits can i use to lose weight???

thanx

If a doctor said you're overweight, ask them what you can do about it. And guess what!? Your 13! You're growing still. Settle down, you're fine. Just eat correctly and exercise, but DON'T over do it!

I'm 14/f
I think im fat and I wanna lose weight. I don't eat breakfast or lunch and barely dinner. All my friends are worried about me and try to get me to eat but I just say i'm not hungry. My question is, is this that serious and that unhealthy? Thanks!

If you don't eat, your body starts collecting fat. And if you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism will slow down, then you'll be fat.
You're 14. Don't worry about being fat. Really. I'm 14 also, and I think I could lose a bit of fat on my body, but that's how every girl thinks. I just try eating as healthy and correctly as possible and exercise.
So yes, it's serious AND unhealthy.

OK..I ALWAYS go to bed late. If I try to go to bed early, i still don't go to bed until about
3-4AM. I've tried not to stay on the computer and tried to clear my mind and everything and i still cant sleep. After that i have a tendancy to wake up a tiny bit late (10-11 AM)..And i mean a couple times i may get to bed if I'm lucky around 1AM..i dont know what to do and my mom just thinks that i stay up on purpose so she doesnt wanna help me..what do you thinks wrong?? is there anything to prevent this from happening anymore?? thanks!!!

I have the same problem. I have to take a vitamin called Melatonin (1mg). I only take one before I go to sleep and it usually works unless I'm really stressed. *Talk to your doctor though before you take it*. You can probably buy it at your local food store where all the vitamins are.
hope that helps.
