I'm on my period and i was able to get the applicator in but i'm scared to push the tampon out and i'm scared of how bad it'll feel taking it out. what should I do? I have a party tomorrow and I need a tampon so that I could wear my leggings.

Hey there, don't be scared! I have never experienced any pain from using a tampon, just a little resistance. With practice, it will be a breeze for you. I recommend going online and searching for some guides that will show you the steps:
After you have pushed the applicator in to where your fingers holding the grip are just touching the entrance to your vagina, use your forefinger to push the end of the applicator. The tampon should glide right out of the applicator (don't worry, it doesn't hurt). Then pull the applicator out, and you're done! You should see the end of the string hanging out a little bit. This is attached to the tampon so that when you are ready to remove the tampon, you can hold the string, relax your muscles, and gently pull it out. I like to have a tissue or some toilet paper ready for when the tampon comes out. Wrap it up and dispose of it properly in a trash can when you're done.
You'll be just fine!

Hi there! I am a sophomore in high school and have a guy friend (let's call him K) that I've known since 7th grade. We didn't become good friends until last year, and this year we've become pretty close because we are involved in a lot of the same things.
I didn't think of him as anything more than a friend until this year. I thought I may have caught him very subtly flirting with me (he's pretty shy), and since I really liked him as a friend I started to try and see if I could see us together. I couldn't at first. But then, when my friend and I noticed him talking to this girl, we thought they would be really cute together, and kept talking about it/jokingly scheming on how to get those two together. Well, in the process, I started feeling a tiny bit jealous. It turns out he and the other girl really were just friends.
Then we started talking more as we got to know each other better through our school activities.
Now we text almost daily, usually about school stuff, but then it turns into chat. I think something is definitely there. Our eyes meet a lot, we joke around, and already have countless inside jokes. I'm really attracted to his smile and his blue eyes. :) I don't think he is "hot," in the conventional use of the word, but I am attracted to him. In addition, he's really smart, passionate, kind to everyone, a little shy, but pretty funny and easy to talk to. I told my best friend today that I kind of liked him and she got very excited and said we would be so cute. There is definitely something there. Today, I noticed him go out of his way to walk me to my car, telling everyone he needed to go that way too, but then he turned around.. :)
My concerns for our potential relationship are our friendship and our mutual friendships with others. We are both on a co-ed sports team with only 10 people who are all very close, so I'm concerned that dating him (and especially if it should end) might be awkward. He also asked one of my friends out on a date last year (she said no because she doesn't want to date in high school, although they remain very close friends), so there is another potential source of awkwardness. Another reason this concerns me is his formality in wanting to go out to restaurants and things on dates, which I have never really done before. Though the idea of a more mature relationship excites me, I'm also worried one of us will be uncomfortable or not know what to say or how to act. I'm also friends with his younger brother, I know his mom and dad from the sports events, and we have lots of mutual friends. While this might be a good thing, I am worried it could turn awkward.
I'm also not entirely sure if I even really like him or if my feelings stemmed from picturing us together, because the feelings I have are more sweet rather than a fiery crush.
Sorry this is long. Props to you if you really read it! I think writing it out has helped me at least a little bit in figuring it all out.
Basically, K and I have something going. I think our personalities mesh very well, and our chemistry is awesome. I see him as a great potential boyfriend, but am uncertain about getting over the uncomfortableness stage with him. What do you think? Do you think we are relationship material, or better off as friends? Is there anything I should say or do if we do end up dating, or if it should happen that I need to turn him down?
Thanks for your help! (link)

Thank you all for the advice.
He asked me out, and I decided to take the plunge. K and I have dating for a month now. The chemistry is slowly developing into something romantic and I think we will make a really strong couple.
Thanks again!
