Hello.
Okay, I'm 15 years old and one of my inner labias is about three times the size of the other. However, this wasn't always so. It started about 2 years ago when I started masturbating with the showerhead. First off, could that be the cause of it?
Anyway, I am extremely self-conscious about it, and won't let a guy go down on me or anything.
Does anybody know anything about this, or have any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

There's nothing wrong with your vagina and don't worry about it's appearance. It may or may not have been caused by your masturbation, but the point is like a face, the vagina comes in all shapes and sizes. My advise to you is to relax and always remember to practice safe sex, which is the most important thing.


My best friends party are today and their times cross and i dont no which one to go to as they both hate eachother very much and I am stuck in the middle so i dont no which one to go to. (link)
Go to both, just don't stay til the end of either. Better late than never and I'm sure your other friend will understand if you have to leave early. I'm sure this situation didn't happen overnight so I'm sure your best friends will understand. If by chance one doesn'tand starts to complain or play games, then perhaps you should go to the other whom doesn't. It's not right for your friends to keep putting you in the middle this way. Good luck!


18/female

Me and this guy have been friends for like over a year now and i have had a huge crush on him. I have told him about and left it at that. We are always hanging out. He tells me more stuff then he has ever told anyone. He is like a best friend to me. He flirts all the time with me and he is always holding my hand and cuddling with me but then he always is saying that he just wants to be friends well he dont act like it at all and he has gone out with my best friend and after she dumped him i started getting closer she tells me its fine and we talk all about it but i just think i need more advice everyone says he likes me but then he does the same exact stuff to other gurls and im just really confused about it if he does like me what should i do? please i need your help (link)
You have already confessed your feelings for him and he doesn't want anything more than friendship. He 'acts' like he likes you isn't enough, I'm sorry to say this but some guys are just plain flirts and they like playing with girls. If his behavior is giving you mixed signals then confront him about it, or stop the hand holding, cuddling, etc. It sounds like your buddy is a serial flirt, perhaps he doesn't mean any harm by it, but he likes attention especially from the 'women' in his life.


Ive had this best guy friend for a while. We went out a few years ago, and it lasted fr over a year, things got rocky, and we're still very good friends.

But recently it's been obvious that theres been attraction between the two of us. We hung out the other day and one thing led to another and we got to the point of almost having sex. I stopped it and went home. Tomorrow we are hanging out together again, and i know the same is going to happen. The thing is, i REALLY want to have sex with him because we had such a great relationship, but it just feels funny.

Would it be be wrong and "slutty" of me to do so? (link)
If you feel you are mature enough to handle having sex, then do so. Just make sure you're doing it because you want to and no for any other reason, ie. hoping that he will like you or trying to make the relationship better. Sex generally complicates things, not make things better. Remember to have safe sex to protect yourself and your partner.


I just moved in 10 months ago [[beginging of school]] Yeah,i made friends...but now at the end of the year they all turned against me! And its all because if this one girl hates me,they all hate me.I hate being a follower and i love to be original,so simpely,i dont follow her like my friends did. Now shes convincing everyone to hate me! She was once my friend and i never did anything wrong ][[i know this because we werent that good of friends we just sat next to each other in one subject..never called eachother and stuff..]] So she makes everyone hate me for no reason. And im so sad i cry so hard. Im not the same im just miserable. Im trying to get my mom to move back to my old city. Its takeing some effect. I would be over joyed to move back to my city. People like me and i have friends there. But my question is how can i deal with all this pressure and stress on me?
Im becomeing depressed and hateing my life. I dont want to be that kind of person seeing as i always try to look up...even down looks up to me. (link)
It sound like you passed the toughest part and adjusted to your new school rather well. Things are difficult now, but you should try to run from someone whom is making your life miserable. It's just what she would want, and she'd be winning to as you have given her the power to hurt you. Don't runaway like some criminal, stay and 'fight' it out. Not fight in terms of coming to physical blows, but fight as in don't let effect your choices in life or effect your happiness. If these so called friends are listening to her instead of believing in the truth then they weren't your friends to begin with. Better no friends than ones that stab you in the back. In the end you'll know whom you can a nd can not trust, and given time things will improve. You sound like a strong person but it doens't mean you can be strong all the time. You'll get through this in time, in the meantime Keep your chin up.

If there's a subject in school you're good at you can tutor another student. Or you can tutor smaller kids. Depending on your age, there many ways to earn some bucks, it just depends on how hard you want to work.

I'm sure you think your writing is cute, but please study a bit harder and learn to spell. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insulting, but being funky is way off from being perceived as illiterate. Happy Birthday, and enjoy it with whomever wants to share that day with you.


Hey Everyone! Well I went to a party in New York City a couple of weeks back and met an amazing looking guy. We hooked up at the party and really enjoyed our time spent together. After the party we promised to keep in touch and i gave him my number, and he called me the next day. He decided to come visit me in Jersey with a couple of his friends later that week. While we were talking he told me that he was 20 and i'm only 15(meaning im illegal). He was a little surprised by our age difference since i definently look a lot older than i appear to be. After meeting him @ my house I had to leave for residential camp for a week in order to be a C.I.T(Counseler in Training) While I was gone we talked on the phone and found out that we had a lot in common such as: Our birthdays are on the same day>How strange is that! As soon as I got home I went on his Profile to check out what he'd been up to. I found out that he'd been writing a lot of comments to different grls saying that they were "Hott" and "Thumbs up." I'm a very jealous person and I hate having to share my guy with anyone. Even though were not together "officially" I really have feelings for him~ The problem is our age difference and the fact that sometimes he doesn't call me to see how i am because he's busy clubbing and doing god knows what. My ? is do i get over this guy or should i do something to make him understand how i feel?? I'd really like advice about what I should do. Pleae comment and advice away. Xo THanks!! (link)
Stay away from this MAN, and I do mean MAN. Aside from the obvious, he can get into serious legal troubles messing with you. Five years is nothing, but it is something now, you are both in different places right now, and really can't understand one another. What will you talk about with him, your on-goings in highschool, and he'll think you're immature. Don't try to grow up too fast, you can only be 15 or 16 (young) once in your life. Enjoy your youth now with someone whom can truly relate and experience this with you. Why do you think he's clubbing all the time, he's getting older and doesn't want to deal with the reality of adulthood.


Well there's a boy-we're both on the same tennis team. We're friends, we've never hung out outside of tennis, mainly because he dated my old bestfriend as a freshman, then again a couple of months ago *sophmore year*. By "old bestfriend" I mean we were BeSt friends in middle school but high school came along and we grew apart. I'll sit with her at lunch and comment on her xanga but that's as far as it goes now-a-days. Recently, these two broke up *again* and it was his fault. He started acting wierd or something like that. The problem is, I really like this kid! Since like 8th grade. Before him and her went out my friends told me to 'go for it' but of course I didn't but now after this break-up i don't know if i should. I didn't 'go for it' i think because i was kind of scared? It would've been my first boyfriend..Not to mention we're on the same tennis team. I'd really appreciate advice on if i should 'go for it'. Should I wait? Drop it? Help!

Why don't you talk to your old friend before you do this. I understand she's not one of your close buddies, but at this age no man is worth killing ties with an ex-best friend. Out of respect for your past alliance, talk to her and see if she's ok with it. Besides, what if you were in her shoes, how would you feel? Have some considerationand talk to her before making your move, perhaps she'll give you some inside scoop to this guy and you may not even want him after knowing more about him. Good luck!


Why do people like romantic themes in stories? It's not that I don't, I'm just curious, what do people find attractive about love stories? (link)
What makes people interested in love stories? The answer is simple, no one wants to be alone or feel lonely, and love stories give us hope that there's is some happiness in this world.


Well I'm a lesbian and my parents don't know. How do I tell them? I'm scared they'll kick me out of the house or something. (link)
The answer really depends on your age, but generally speaking it depends on how open you are with your parents in the first place. If you were heterosexual, would you talk to your parents about your sex life or sexual experiences with your parents? I am not a believer in being 'out.' If you want them to know, that's fine and tell anyone or everyone, but you don't see your parents discussing their sexual life with you. Your sexual experiences are your own, and somethings are meant to be private. Is there someting else going on that you feel the need to tell them this?


I've met this guy at the beginning of summer. His best friend & my best friend are together. I've only seen him once, the rest of the time we talk online/phone. I've never met anyone like him before and I'm really trying to get to know him, but he's mysterious and confusing. He's intelligent and funny which keeps my interest growing, but mixed signals are getting annoying. He says its too early to say if he likes me because we need to hang out again. I'm up for it but what can I do to let him know I'm interested & for him to let the mysterious bad boy phase go already. (link)
It can be frustrating when you are interested in a guy and he's playing it cool. You feel the rush and want things to move faster, but remember that a real mature relationship is achieved over time. It's not to say this guy may just be playing mind games on you, but the point is YOU are interested so be patient and stick it out. The worst that comes of this is that you may see him for the jerk he is and have only wasted your time, but if not, then you have a nice young man whom you've gotten to know pretty well and would make a good boyfriend. Always remember though that you should do what is good for you, don't do things so the guy would like you more.


My bestfriend is a guy, and ive known him for like 6 years and i dotn know why just all of a sudden i think im in love with him, its just the little things that he does and, i think hes the only guy that really looks into my eyes and tells me things..I mean we are best freinds so of course we tell each other everything, but he tells me like ALOT, and he seems that he likes me sometimes..he used to be like a brother to me but i kno theres no way i could or would ever go out with him..what do i do? (link)
What is there to do, it sound like you've already made up your mind, 'I know there's no way I could or would ever go out with him.' Besides I don't think your ready to make any declarations now as you are not sure excatly how you feel. Know how you feel first, then ask yourself what is it you want out of it. If you know for sure you are really in love with him, and want to date him, then tell him. Declaring your feeling won't be enough if you don't want to do nothing further with it.


I think I’m suffering from depression. And my relationship with my family is going down hill. I feel like I’m such a burden and I feel like something is seriously wrong with me. I want to tell my parents but it’s just so hard to tell them how I’m feeling. I’m 17 and I love my parents very much but I can’t live with them and get the help I need. I'm not sure if I should tell them or just let things go on the way they are and be miserable? (link)
If you feel uncomfortable talking to your parents, why don't you speak to someone at your school like a counselor? You have taken the first step in recognizing that something is troubling you, that was the difficult part. The easy part now is getting the proper help you need. It sounds like you have caring parents, I know it may seem difficult but you should discuss this with them. Depression or any thing related to this won't go away and will get worse if untreated. It's a problem that can be treated, so please don't wait.


I have been in my current relationship for 9 months. Previouisly my relationship was 4 years in which we had a child. since then her father hasn't seen or talked to her in 6 months. Now when she starts to get close to my boyfriend she takes three steps back. But if she meets someone new she walk with them and hold their hand and she won't do this with my boyfriend. This upsets him and I've told him maybe she's just afraid to get close with himbecause she's afraid he will leave her too. Please help me try to understand this better. (she's only 5 years old) (link)
Please give your daughter time to adjust. She may just be 5, but she has feelings and understands the differnece between strangers and people whom are in her life. It's only been 9 months, your boyfriend should understand as he is the grown up and she's the child. Don't pressure or force your daughter to go to him, she'll go this when she's good and ready


I just got in a huge fight with my sister. It started out as me being jealous of how she looked in her bathing suit. (really good! which I do not look) But then she started being really mean to me anyways. What should I do? And please don't tell me to tell ym sister I am soooo sorry and that I love her because she is not the mushy type at all. Thanks! -twistedsister17 (link)
Sisters fight all the time, you wouldn't be sisters if you didn't. It sound like a simple fight and can be easily amended by forgetting it. After the next time compliment her on how she looks and all will be forgiven.


What do i do when my mom just cares about her boyfriend and she never wants me and my sister around, and all she says to me and my sister is that were imbarssments, and i hear her having sex all the time with her boyfriend, and i found a vibrater in her room! what do i do i feels like i dont even have a mother!! when i was sick with the flu she didt come home til 6 o'clock in the morning I was rushed in emergancy room, thanks to my sister calling the ambulance! what do i do I NEED HELP!

Ps-she doesnt even make us dinner or anything (link)
Depending on your age, you can get help from Child Services in your home State. Sadly not every mother is a good one, so the question is whether to have a bad one or none at all. You can always speak to your counselor at school and perhaps they can talk to your Mom. Either way you're lucky you have your sister, and both of you sound very mature and I'm sure you'll both learn a great deal from this experience.


ok so today my dad invoted me and my bro to go the the batting cages. I went for fun and plus i love baseball. SO i was doing awesome on hitting the baseball and everything but my dad never even payed attention to me. Then he was like why dont you try the softball. and i didnt want to but he made me anyways. But it serioucly screwed up my baseball hitting and i sucked at softball and he was encouraging me there. But like i said he never watched my hitting the baseballs... he was totally ignoreing it. Is he one of those dads that thinks girls cant do sertain sports? i mean i hate softball... but its like he doesnt give me a chance and theres no way im a girly girl... plz help!! sorry that its so long.. (link)
Old habits are hard to change and your Dad probably doesn't mean anything bad by his suggestions or ideas. Just talk to him and tell him what you're all about, what you like, dislike, etc...Either way don't feel to bad if he still doesn't see things or understand where you're coming from. You aren't going to change what you think or feel because of him and you should expect him to do the same. Just remember that you do what you do because you like it and not for your father's approval.


Ok I am a girl and i have a Boyfriend and I really Love him and the sex we have is fun and enjoyable........but......like a week ago my best friend whho is a girl came over and we were watching t.v. and suddenly we started kissing and then we had lesbian sex but I really love my boy friend but i might feel something for my best friend to so am i a lesbian or am i stright should i go for the guy or girl? (link)
Just because you enjoyed sexual relations with the same sex doesn't make you a lesbian. Please remember that being guy isn't defined only in terms of whom you have sex with. Human being are a bundle of nerves and when touch accordingly you will get stimulated regardless of whom is touching you. Being sexually aroused shows that you are normal, this doesn't signify what you are? If you find yourself being attracted to females and watching them and noticing them like you do boys then perhaps you just may be a lesbian, but this can not be determined with one experience.


There's someone, someone I love. We were so perfect, but if there's something he doesnt like about me, he'll confront me on it after we have broken up. We were "friends" everytime after we broke up, except this time. It's gotten so bad. He cusses me out on everything, and leads me to believe that he wants to get back together. I want him really bad again, and I keep falling for him, really hard too. It's crazy and mixed up. Everything is so weird and my relationship is way too long to explain, but from that what should I do? (link)
Obviously you're not perfect for each other from your often 'break up/ make ups.' Perhaps you should consider why you like this guy so much, but this guys sounds like he's just using you. I don't know how old you are, but were you having sex with him? Why he feels the need to confront you after the fact instead of talking things out during the relationship shows his lack of maturity. Besides no one is perfect, perhaps you should find a guy whom likes you for what you are and not what you should be.
