about

Um... hi. I'm Holly, 17. Live in Denver but I'm from Virginia originally. I don't know what to say... haha. I like to hang out with my friends and such, watch TV and movies. I'm also into fitness and sports, and I'm one of those freaks that actually likes school. I also enjoy helping people out, which is why I'm here. I have advice on pretty much every topic, and I try to help in the best way I know how -- I'm not one for giving sarcastic answers to questions and such.

what exactly is a condom ,where do u put it, do girls where them, and what do they do? is there a certain age to buy them?

First of all, I hope you're not thinking of having sex. If you don't know what a condom is, then you don't need to be having sex.
Now. A condom is a latex device used to keep people safe from sexually transmitted diseases. It's also a preventive method against pregnancy. It goes on a man's penis before sex, so as to act as a sort of... barrier.
As far as I know, you don't have to be a certain age to buy them -- but then again, if you don't know what they are, then why are you asking in the first place?

can you discharge if your pregnate?

Yes, you can. And you can also still have your period if you're pregnant -- it happens to a lot of women (my mother included, as well as my aunt, 2 of my cousins, and my best friend). So yeah, if you have even an IDEA that you could be pregnant, get a HPT (home pregnancy test).

Is it normal for a girl my age to like another girl? I mean, i don't think i'm a lesbian or bisexual, but i heard it could be normal for someone my age (which is 15 btw) to be... "curious"? am i just weird?

It's totally normal to be curious about other girls. I don't think you have anything to worry about -- you're not weird in the least. And even if you are bisexual or homosexual, there's nothing wrong with that either. Just embrace whoever you are, and you'll be fine.

okay this miht be a bit wierd but like wen ever i get my period i feel all wierd like its leaking thru my pants or something at skool and i really worry that it might be leaking! idk what to do? i mean if some one saw that there were blood stains on the back of my pants and especially if it was a guy i liked wat would i do? thats like sooo embarassing!
help!

First of all, not weird at all. I'm assuming you haven't had your period for a very long time, so it's probably a little bit new to you. If you want to be more comfortable, just try to use a great pad or a tampon (not sure which you use). If you want to be sure that no one can tell if you bleed through, wear dark pants and a jacket that covers up that general area. For the most part, though, you can tell if you're actually bleeding through, and so long as you catch it in time, it won't be noticeable -- you'll know it's there, but as long as you don't spread your legs or anything, no one will see it. You could also do what I do: rubber ducky. If you have a close female friend, make up a code word (mine's rubber ducky) and she'll look for you, without making it obvious. It sounds worse than it actually is -- hey, I'd rather my friend be like, "Hey, you have a rubber ducky problem," then have a guy go, "Ewww, you've got blood all over your pants!" If the aforementioned problem does occur, then I really don't know what to tell you, I'm sorry! I've never been in the situation before.

ok like wenever i dream i dream about getting raped and like idk why but to me it seems like i want to get raped and im scared wat do i do?
is it normal i mean like i think about getting raped all the time...why is this happening to me?

Okay, everyone always says that the acts/people/figures in dreams don't usually mean what they are in the dream. It's true -- they're symbolic. I don't know of a website off the top of my head, but you should find a dream analyzation website. Try to find out what a rape means.
Trust me when I say that you probably don't want to get raped -- hey, who does? Your dream is most likely symbolic of something completely different than what you're seeing.

ok,
i dnt have small boobs but htey arent that big...see when i go on a walk with my friend i feel like i have really small boobs cuz she wears c 36 and i wear b 36 so i feel like flat so wat do i do?
13/f
i rate high for good answers!

First of all, I know how you feel -- next to larger-chested friends, you feel inadequate. I have a few suggestions.
1) Be comfortable with yourself. I know it's hard, but unless you like the way you look, you're probably not going to attract much attention next to Big-Basooma Bonnie.
2) Get an awesome bra. They have Playtex bras in half-sizes. I bought mine a half-size too small and it makes me look like I have lots of cleavage. Also try going to Victoria's Secret. The salespeople there are paid to help you find something that suits your body.
3) Dress in a way that makes you feel great -- but not in a way that makes you look slutty. Wear tops that show off what you have, but not in a "Look at me, I have a little bit of cleavage" kind of way.

okay so i was raped and i told my cousin about it and hes the only person that knows this...well after i told him he seems sorta distant an stuff and like i dont kno what to do cuz hes my fave cousin but i dont want him to be like eww she got raped and stuff and then that makes me feel like shit too! so wat do i do?
i rate high!
plz answer i need it ASAP

First of all, you should consider rape counseling. There are a lot of resources for teens that have been raped (and you don't always have to inform your parents).
Secondly, you need to approach your cousin about this. Let him know that you really appreciate that he was there for you and ask him if he is upset or uncomfortable because he told you. Tell him that you didn't mean to make him uncomfortable by giving him the information, but you wanted him to know that he was the only one you trusted and felt comfortable enough to tell. Tell him that you feel he's acting differently towards you since you told him what happened to you. Your cousin needs to know that he is trusted and admired by you, but also that you feel really badly about his discomfort.
