Periods typically run on a 28-day cycle, but that can vary from woman to woman and from month to month. If you described your situation to a doctor, he probably would not find your periods abnormal. Go to mymonthlycycles.com and register for free. This site will keep track of your cycle for you and even estimate when you will get your next period. Do this for a few months and you will have a better idea of whether you are really irregular or not. BTW, I would not recommend birth control in this situation in someone your age. It is true that some forms of birth control can cause you to gain weight, but besides that it just seems like trying to kill a fly with a bazooka. So don't worry too much and keep track of your cycle with that site. Good luck honey!

My son is soon to be 16 months old. He is very intelligent, and understands most of everything I say. He knows 6 body parts, and can retrieve anything I ask of him..i.e coat, socks, shoes, cup, diaper etc. However, he did not babble much as a small baby, does not call us mom or dad (sometimes says it but doesnt seem to be directed towards us). He does not try to answer questions with words and communicates by grunting and pointing. He sort of says "kitty" (zizzy) and his word for truck is the sound it makes. that is the extent of his vocab. all other children his age I see are saying at least a few words and try to talk. I have read that he could have a speech disability because he is not talking yet..but some people say he is just a late talker. I am very worried. (link)

The other answers offered good advice; definitely get his hearing checked out and talk to a doctor to rule out autism and other related conditions. But there's also a good chance he'll be just fine. If it makes you feel better, my son didn't talk much at all until he was almost 3. Now he won't shut up. He's almost 7 now and he's doing so well in school that he is being skipped to the next grade. Try reading lots of books with your boy, sometimes seeing the letters and learning to read simple words will help. It definitely won't hurt.

i have two best friends. one is a girl, she's my sister, my life, my everything and i love her dearly. the other is a guy and for all the time we've been best friends we've told people we're married because thats just the way we've always acted. i can't describe the relationship, we bitch and fight and nag but in the end it always results in a hug and an "i love you". he told me he liked me in 7th grade but little did we know we had both liked each other on and off since then and we have now just finished junior year.
so after spending the entire last weekend at his house i decided that i would finally tell him i liked him. we spent the weekend in his hot tub until 1am, driving around in his truck, he picked me up and spun me in the air which was adorable and then we sat in his field and watched the sunset, then when it was dark we sat and watched the fire flies, just talking until i had to leave. the weekend was so amazing and it took all my strength not to kiss him because i thought he thought of us as a brother/sister relationship.
so i come into school monday, the day i decide to tell him, and i see him with his ex girlfriend who he has broken up with nine times. NINE!! in 2 years. i don't get along with her too much and whenever he's with her he starts being a jerk to me and i've told him that and he doesn't believe it. so anyway i found out that his ex girlfriend who he had just gotten over...once again, decided to break up with her boyfriend b/c she missed this guy(my best friend). now from the best friend point of view i didnt want him to go through this bullshit again so i called him after school to complain anyway while on the phone we both ended up saying that we both like each other and we both think we would be an amazing couple and he goes on to say that when hes with his on again off again girlfriend he thinks about me and thinks how much better it would be. so im thinking "ok hes going to finally listen to me and not go back to his girlfriend" but no, then he says "i want to be with you but i feel like i should be with HER. but i know i'll keep liking you because i always do, so we'll see where it goes and we have all of senior year and college to be together." so at first im thinking, ok what the hell is this but then i'm just like whatever i'll deal with it like i always do. next day in school they're going out and he has the nerve to bring her over to our lunch table and he's being his normal "got my ex back" jerk personality that he denies he has. and its like he was rubbing in my face that he was with her which is not something he normally does...ever. so he was being an ass and i decided that i was feeling a little devilish so i decided to bring up the topic of me being over at his house almost every day for the past two weeks. his girlfriend wasn't happy but i was satisfied.
SO, i cant wait around forever right? even though my best friend is the perfect boyfriend and everything i've ever wanted. now, this guy that i've hooked up with in the past wants to start a friends with benefits relationship...again. he's incredibly hot and sexy and he thinks the same of me so im deciding to go for it but im still a little cautious because my best friend says the only reason he didn't tell me he liked me sooner was because i was hooking up with this guy and he didn't think i'd want to be with him after being with my hook up buddy?
so, do i wait it out alone because i know the relationship won't last long or do i have a little fun and go for this friends with benefits relationship??
sorry this question turned out to be so long. (link)

My heart hurts for you, sweetie, because I went through all kinds of similar drama whem I was in high school. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but please try to believe that crap like this will not matter at all once you're my age, which is 30. Your "friend" sounds selfish and somewhat cruel. If I were you, I'd put some serious space there. Guy/girl friendships are complicated no matter how old you are, and this one sounds like more trouble that it's worth. You say he is "the perfect boyfriend", but believe me, he's not, otherwise he would treat you with more regard! Always respect yourself, and surround yourself with people who will do the same. This guy's not one of those people. And as for the "friends with benefits" thing, please don't do that. It is the exact opposite of respecting yourself. Hold out for someone who values you and treats you right. You don't want to get to be my age and have people thinking you're "used goods." Best of luck to you, and God bless.
