Im fourteen, female.
I have a pool in my backyard and a few guy friends. And being a girl I cant ALWAYS go swimming.
Like, when that time of month comes around and if the boy across the street just happens to come over then I dont just want to tell him to go away. Im on my period. That would be awkward..
But Ive tried using a tampon but it just wont...GO IN! Urrrghh, its so frustrating. And Im not really willing to practice.
But someone told me quiite some time ago that 'it' stops underwater, which I hardly believe.
But do you have any suggestions? (link)
|
It can still "run" underwater depending on how saturated the tampon is (yea, gross).. But it should stop underwater if a person puts a new tampon in right before swimming.
As for putting it in:
The absolute key is to be as relaxed as possible, and to not think about it so much; do NOT think about the discomfort you have previously experienced. Make sure to put some sort of lubricant on the applicator.
Try it during or after a shower, or whenever you feel more relaxed. Hey, wake up at some random time at night and try- see if it works.. (Since you'd be sleepy and relaxed.. less likely to get nervous about it, and eager to go back to sleep).
After you've done it at least once, that confidence should help you as well..
Don't worry, just keep trying. You'll do it when you're angry enough at yourself. haha
I didn't try using tampons until I was 16! It took me a relatively short time to be able to use them though..

Okay, so I just recently started getting my period. And, to put it simply, I hate it. For my first period, which lasted like three weeks, I used nothing but pads. I don't mind the pads, but I do go swimming regularly and I do horseback riding. The problem with pads and horseback riding is when you ride, the pads stick to your butt, which is really unpleasant. Anyways, I'm going to summer camp next week for two weeks, and I'm going to probably be starting my period by about Friday or so. At the camp, we go swimming AND horseback riding everyday. I can use tampons just fine, since I've already tried them out and they fit comfortably and all. The problem is, it feels like the string is burning/cutting the skin around my vag. It's kinda painful and I don't really want to deal with it all day if it's gonna be doing that, but since the camp is in the middle of July in the south, it gets REALLY hot, so I DO NOT want to miss out on swimming. Any advice? (link)

Maybe you could try different tampon brands. Their strings might be different..
If not, I would try putting lotion or cream on to get rid of irritation. Ask an adult for something to use.
Also, since you just started getting your period, it's very possible that it's irregular. Three weeks is irregular, and you may not even get it month-to-month for a year or two. (Irregularity is normal for girls who have just started). So, you may not even get your period during camp.
Good luck- and have fun!

so ive had my period for about 2 and half years now, and i still dont know how to put a tampon in. its really embaressing too because when i go away to camp [Im on the swim team at my camp] and i get my period, its embaressing to tell my friends/the coach that i cant swim because of it. should i know how to by now? its been 2 years! the thing is. i did tried this one time in 7th grade, my friends pool party which i was so excited to go to and wear my new bikini and then i got my period and im like okay putting a tampon in cant be that bad. omg it is. it hurtsss like idk why it bothers me. i just dont like that feeling of sticking something up me. why am i so weirdd haha. and i try again every now and then, but no luck. as soon as i try and put it in, even just trying to stick a finger in there, i flinch. like i just cant do it. what should i do??? my mom doesnt know what to tell me either, im worried. please help me (link)

And it's such a relief!

so i've never been in a relationship before... i am 18/f..... i have many guy friends (some were even best friends) and i've been comfortable with them all (and they the same) yet... i've never had a boyfriend or been in a romantic relationship before... i am not bothered by it especially since i am the one being picky about who i should be with... i've always been content with limiting things to friendship.... and after a while i develop feelings and feel like they are just silly infatuations because i respect and enjoy the company of these guys... but usually i get over it (or screw up the friendship by backing off) today i was taking one of those personality disorder tests online and one of the questions they asked was what makes me the happiest? among the options was romantic relationship and i didn't know what to choose because i have never experienced it... i mean i don't know if i'll be my happiest then ... the image i have in my head offcourse is a fairy tale... again i am fine with that.... i just don't feel like relationships are all what they are cut out to be let alone whether or not i should be happy.... i knw this question lacks structure or logic... and i guess in the end i'm saying is love something that you choose or its, well does it just happen? (link)
|
I think that just depends on people's personality and preference.. I'm 17/f and I'm just like you. I really haven't had big crushes on anyone, let alone boyfriends.
Also just like you, I'm not too sure of this either but this is what I see:
You can search for love, or it can just happen randomly.. Or it can be a mixture of both.
If you're happy without having a relationship right now, then .. why worry? Being picky is ok..
If you don't feel 100% about this, then any relationship you have will be weak because of your lack of interest..
So why not wait until you find a guy you feel fairly comfortable with?
I do think that being friends first is a very nice way to go into a romantic relationship.. So don't be so quick to shun away from your friends when one is "liking" you. They truly care about you and- obviously- those are the kinds of guys who should be your boyfriend.

okay so I like this guy I'm 15/f and ill be 16 in october he just turned 20 june and I realllyy like him I'm pretty sure he likes me but I'm not positive but we have been talking a lot lately and I have sent him pictures of me but I'm fully clothed. we have talked about doing stuff and we are going to hangout. I am a virgin and I want to loose it to him I'm pretty sure he will take it. anyway is that considered statitory rape if I'm 16? I really like him and he likes me he said he wouldn't date me until I'm 18 because he cares about me and we don't want to get introuble I want to be withhim bad but do you also think he's using me? thank you for reading and thank you for responding (link)

If this is only an online thing, he is using you. Predators aren't blatantly weirdos; they reel people in by gaining their trust first. It's really important not to do anything sexual (let alone meet the guy). You really can't trust anyone unless you get a sense of who they are in person- and I wouldn't risk seeing this guy in person (unless you have other people with you).
Frankly, at your age, this is wrong. You may have feelings for him, but it won't be worth it.
Please cut off your relations and focus on guys who are more your age.

Recently I got a minor tooth ache. Its not uncommon for me because I'm 16 and my wisdom teeth are taking their dear sweet time coming in...but I decided to take out a compact mirror and check out my tooth anyway. Well...it looks like I have a cavity. I have a little black spot on TWO of my upper back teeth. I think the pain was my wisdom teeth...but yeah.
I haven't been to the dentist in YEARS. So long I can't even remember how old I was or what I was there for...I'm really scared of getting a tooth pulled.
I don't know how bad a cavity is that you have to have it pulled so I have no idea what to compare what I have to...and I'm sooo freaked out.
Does anyone know how bad a cavity has to be before it gets pulled? I tried looking it up but I can't seem to find anything useful....
Thanks in advance >_ (link)
|
I'm not sure either, but you definitely need to see a dentist ASAP before it progresses even more. The pain you are having is from the cavity being deep enough to penetrate the nerve endings within the tooth.
Anyway, the tooth will probably just be filled; it depends on the severity, which a dentist will determine. Again, try to get professional help immediately. You should be more scared of the pain that the untreated tooth will cause instead of the chance of having the tooth pulled.

Eating too much is a common mental problem; since eating is a positive experience, you do it more often to try to make yourself feel better even when you're not hungry. Are you nervous? Are there problems in your life?
Before focusing your weight, focus on your happiness first. Try and target why you are eating too much. Whatever the reason, you can train yourself to eat less over time. Try replacing more of your "eating" time with things that make you busy.

ok so like this is really embaresing but seriously i like brush my teeth like 4 times a day, cause for sum reason when i brush my teeth and floss and use mouthwash about 30 minutes later they feel dirty again my mouth feels dirty and my breath smells! idk what should i do? i was just at the dentist like a month ago and he didnt say anything was wrong.. is there anything i can do to help my breath and teeth? pLease help k thanks! =] (link)
|
It could be just you thinking that. Get others' opinions first; if they agree that your breath smells bad even after brushing and all, then you could have a problem. (You should have asked your dentist..) In this case, it would be wise to visit a doctor since it could be an actual disease.

ok, well you no how you have the signs that your periods coming soon..well, my friend says that your vagina hair has to be black. is that true?? (link)
|
That's not true. It has nothing to do with predicting a period.
You'll find out after more experience; everyone is different, so once you have had your period for a while you'll be able to recognize the signs easily. The most obvious sign is getting cramps. Others include a change in your mood and brownish/light red discharge.
The easiest thing you can do to predict is to simply record it on your calendar if you have your period regularly [if you don't, don't worry; being irregular is common for the first few years].
Meanwhile, [if you have started your periods] make sure to carry a pad or tampon with you wherever you go, no matter what. This way, if you predict wrong (or if your period is random), then there's no penalty. It saves you so much anxiety and fear.

Ok, well i am 14/f and i started my period 4 months ago. I really want to wear tampons because they are easier and you cant feel them. Every time i try to insert one, it hurts, i am angling it and i have it halway in, but when i try to push the rest up there, it just wont go and it hurts really bad. I have only got it in one time, and i pushed it up far, but when i set down, i could feel it and it was uncomfortable. Now, i cant push it up there even if i try. (link)
|
I felt the same way you did. When I finally got it right, it was such a relief..! So keep trying!
The key is to be as relaxed as possible, and to not think about it so much; don't think about the pain you previously experienced. Try it during or after a shower, or whenever you feel more relaxed. Putting some sort of lubricant on the applicator helps too.

i got a sore throat this morning and it hurts when i swallow, and i just feel it there. and also i feel nauseous at random moments during the day. also during this test we're taking in school.. like standardized tests that take several hours. i dont feel nervous really but i felt nauseous at some point today and yesterday when we did 2 portions of the test. i kinda feel nauseous now too. and my period.. i mean its quite irregular but its supposed to come around now but it hasnt yet. i havent even felt cramps yet. and i havent even kissed a boy yet so being pregnant isnt a concern. whats wrong and how can i fix this? oh yeah i also have a headache and feel kinda tired although i slept for 10 hours last night.. i usually dont sleep that much on a school night too.
14/f, and thanks for the help! =] (link)
|
It's most likely just an ordinary virus/germ.. Sore throat, nausea, headaches and tiredness are common symptoms for being "sick" in general (it could be many things). You'll probably be over it soon. Meanwhile, drink lots of fluids and don't eat anything weird that could make you nauseous. More rest helps, so try to get as much sleep as you can (again). Over-the-counter drugs will help some of your symptoms (but make sure you know what you're doing first-- sometimes they can make you worse).
If you don't feel progressively better after about a week, or worse symptoms develop, then you should go to the doctor.

I like songs that describe my mood(s) or situation... Well right now I just feel betrayed and hurt by my friend. She WAS my best friend but now we're not really good friends anymore and it's because of something I guess. I don't understand it. She's moved on, and has changed a lot. It annoys me and also makes me sad. Everything is confusing and has changed a lot. I also feel left out and feel like "my friend" doesn't really even care about me anymore. It's like we were never "bffl"..... It seems like everything's a lie... I dunno how to describe it, but weird things have happened and I don't understand, cause never in my life would I think it would actually happened. I'm just surprised by it. I'm also sick of fake ppl. Or, posers, and copycatters!!!!! I'm annoyed by them and wish they'd just stop the act..... oh and no, I'm not looking for detailed advice, I just need songs. I'm wondering if anyone knew some reallyyyy goood songs that talk about everything I just said, or something like that. Songs that have good lyrics, and make you really think about them. They could also be sad songs...... Some examples are "Welcome to my Life", "Untitled", and "Perfect", all by Simple Plan... You know songs kinda like that. xD Thankkss! (link)

Hi there.
Prom is on Saturday and I'm going in a limo with about 5 other couples and my single friend is coming with us too. She doesn't know anyone in the limo and neither do I, so I feel comfortable her coming. She's not like a really good friend of mine, I've only known her a few weeks.
Anyways, my boyfriend and her have been texting about prom just talking about what we're going to be doing and stuff. When I was looking on his phone I saw that he texted her saying, "What kind of dress are you going to get, I bet you're going to look real pretty!" and "I wouldn't mine escorting two FINE ass ladies to prom." He's MY boyfriend. Is that okay that he's talking to her like that? Because in my eyes it's not when I don't really know her that well.
Thanks. (link)
|
He could have been kidding around. Don't think too much about it until you actually see signs of him flirting with her (or getting bored with you). It's only a limo ride; once you're there, she'll probably split up from you both. Don't forget, you weren't supposed to be looking at his private messages in the first place..
Anyway, just focus on having fun!

Me and my hubby like to have our old and new friends over for cookouts,
play horseshoes, and catch up on old times. There was 5 of my hubby's friends
here yesterday. While fixing the hamburgers, we were all talking about fishing in the
local carp fishing lake. I said "yeah i won biggest fish with my 19 pounder that one day"
W looks at me and says "were you on your period? Cause if girls are on it its like the
fish smell it or something they love it" I just said no and dropped it I didnt mind that that much cause
i have heard of things like that before fishing. Well later on J was talking about how
my 7 yr old daughter was eating so much. I said "Yeah she does that all the time but she
is so active she burns it all off" He looks straight at me and says"she looks like you,
you look like you burn yours off too or T(my hubby) works it out of you one" I was
so shocked at what he said all i could say was "uh" I got my burgers and ate in the house.
My son came in and said "mom that guy(he described J) told me that if i didnt stop
playing on that (car) jack i was gonna hurt my balls" My kids aint around that kind
of language. When my hubby came in i told him what i thought about it.
He said "well you just have to get to know him better" He did tell the guys to watch what they say.
W came back by himself and told T to let me know he was sorry if he said anything to offend me and
that he was sorry for the others too. Which like i said i dont really care what he said that much.
J though said before he left he wanted to bring his wife and kids here next time.
But I dont even want him here again, let alone with his family. Am I wrong for thinking this?
What do you think i should do? (link)
|
I don't think you're wrong. I wouldn't be trusting a guy who makes perverted comments. (If he's saying those things, imagine what he's thinking..) Follow your instincts; you shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable.
Go ahead and talk about it first with your husband and tell him how you feel about this.

14/f. i am just so confused latley and i dont no what to do or think or anything. i dont even no who i am anymore. okay so for some odd reason i am like so majorly attracted to gay guys. like i love them so much. i think it might be since my brother is gay so it made me appreciate them more? but i have no idea. so i went out with a gay guy and i new he was gay, but eventually since he was gay we broke up because he wasn't attracted to me in that way, obviously since i was a girl. so were friends now. but whenever i see a gay guy or anything my heart just skips a beat and i cant take my eyes off of them, even if their not all that cute. i dont no what to do and i dont no my problem. im not attracted to any other guys, at all. i'm not attracted to girls, so im not a lesbian, at least i think. is god trying to tell me something? i have no idea what to even think anymore! there is absolutley no other guy i am attracted to except if their gay. please, anything will help. thank you! (link)
| |
Don't panic! You don't have to figure all of this out right away. These things take time. Meanwhile you can continue meeting different people. Maybe your preference will change. If not, I'm assuming that there are guys out there who, if not gay, are more "feminine" than the majority. You'll find out; just don't worry now.

|
I'm sorry that your mom is persistent with this. It shows that she's not listening to you if you've been telling her this all along. She's lacking trust in you.
Anyway, you're right; the way you live your life doesn't directly reflect your sexuality. AND, someone's sexuality does NOT directly relate to the way they live and the morals they uphold.
Keep trying to talk to her; if you don't feel like she is listening to you, you can consult with other adults who can talk to her (adults tend to listen to adults more than their kids).

My dog is throwing up blood as well as pooping it. This only started happening a week ago and has only happened twice within a week apart. She has a really weak stomach and throws up alot but never blood. She is an inside dog and only eats dog food the same as always. I dont want to take her to the vet because everytime I do that it costs a ton of money and last time I mentioned it they said it was just a weak stomach and they would put her on meds, I really dont want her on any meds for the rest of her life She is only 7 years of age and healthy otherwise. Is there any thing I can do or should I just break down and take her to the vet because it has been blood???? (link)
|
Your dog is bleeding internally. This is serious. You should get to the vet ASAP. You can't be too cautious with this.
Maybe you could try going to a different vet to avoid the same diagnosis as the last time. If they do recommend drugs, get them! Her health should be top priority.

|
ok so my little 4 month old puppy has worms i dont have enough money to take her to a vet...im 16 i told my rents but there not doing anything about it.. and everynight like she sleeps with me and i wake up and on my bed were like.. little things that looked like red rice??? what are those they wernt moving and they dont look like worms but i know there coming from her what are they? (link)
| |
The ASPCA or Humane Society can take care of it if you really can't pay for proper treatment. Perhaps you should think twice about owning an animal if you won't be able to take it to the vet whenever it needs it.

My brothers girlfriends 1yo Cat is very frisky and the apartment she lives in wants her to get rid of Tigger because he's having sex with all the other cats. Well that's really sad so I sad I would take him but my parents don't know about it. I'm already cleaning my room, being a perfect angel and paying for te expenses of the cat.
I need to make a very good arguement so i can keep Tigger because I dont want him put down (link)

Why won't they get him neutered?

i read somewhere that its not good to ride a horse when you have your period? (link)

You can do any sort of physical activity during your period, as long as you feel ok (sometimes people can get cramps doing certain activities).
