Q: I'm a 13-year-old girl, and as I get older, I find myself having sexual urges more and more. I've tried masturbating and I don't really enjoy it. I want to submit to my urges, but, of course, sex isn't even an option because I'm not dating and, more importantly, I'm way too young. What can I do?

Find different ways to masturbate, electric tooth-brush vibrations, water on your clitoris, humping a pillow, inserting safe, clean objects into yourself, ones that won't break and that are long enough not to get lost in there. if that doesn't work, cold showers and keeping yourself busy, physical exercise etc will help.

Q: Well, how do i put this...i've been thinking about getting on birth control, but haven't decided. Two things i want to know is how effective is it? and Do you have skipped periods. If there's any other information on birth control then can you fill me in? Im also 18 years old.

I take it you're considering the pill or the shot. The pill can mess with your cycle but other than that you should be fine. Taken and/or used properly, birth control is between 97 and 99% effective. If you stack forms of birth control, i.e. use the condom and the pill it's as near to impossible to get pregnant as...well as possible. Most people consider that overkill though. Just follow the instructions and all will be well.

Well you're a bit above average-sized, so you've gotta give it time for her body to adjust to that. I don't know what you are girth-wise, but length-wise, the pain could be coming from you hitting her cervix, which causes some pain. In addition to making sure she's really turned on and wet (use some lube!), try not going in as far or ramming into her, and see if it helps any.

Keep in mind that stressing about it can cause your period to be late. As for free pregnancy tests, you can get tested at a local clinic like Planned Parenthood. Check your phone book under "family planning" for something similar if PP isn't around. Also, many dollar stores have tests for a dollar. I can't say how accurate they are, but pick up a couple and test a week apart.

Q: So I've been eating and sleeping alot lately, so I took two pregnancy tests like three weeks apart and both came out negative. But my stomach has gotten a bit big. I know you're no doctor but do you think that I could be pregnant? Or could it be all the food I'm eating?

Have you had unprotected sex? If they've come back negative and you still think it's possible, then check with your doctor for a blood test. More likely, though, it's from all that eating you've been doing and you've just packed on a little weight from it.

Your school probably has counselors. You should seek them out. You deserve way better than the treatment you're getting, and several of the issues you're dealing with can be mentally scaring. Most individuals can't work through being attacked on their own and need to see a crisis counselor. Most kids can't recover from childhood abuse. They're things that will destroy your life later if you don't get help now. Talk to a school counselor and they will point you in the right direction.

Q: I want to badly fit in. People look over me and i'm always last. Not in work or races, but in life. Is there something wrong with me? Am i a failure to life? I know i have problems like any teen, but, again, i can't find answers. I wonder why i can't express myself to people in words. Only through writing. I wonder why i'm the only student in my school who cuts. But no one knows. If they did, they would send me off to some shrink who would examine my head. Why do i feel this way? Why do i cut when no one else feels a need to or has to? I just always think i'm a failure to life.

I doubt you're the only person who cuts. It's not something people tend to talk about, you are proof of that. But you do need help. Sounds like you actually do have issues that need to be resolved with a psychologist. I'd go to your guidance counselor to start, and be ready to admit that you cut. You're gonna need the support of the people who want to help you, like your teachers, family, etc.

Q: For some reason when I'm with my best friend, I can't help but be extremely self-conscious. It feels like she is better than me in every way! She has a curvy body, big butt, bigger boobs, better hair and a prettier face. And even though she basically copies what I wear, she still looks better ” even in my own clothes! It seems like I'm in a competition where I'm trying to look as pretty as she does. Is there anything I can do to feel better about myself?

One thing you didn't say in your e-mail was whether your friend seems to be trying to compete with you. Like, if you're getting attention from someone else, does your friend try to insert herself in the middle and steal your thunder? Or, if you show up wearing a cute new outfit at school, does she run out and buy the exact same one, every single time? Sometimes, when people do things like that, it can be so subtle that's it's hard to realize at first. All you know is that you feel weird and uncomfortable, but you don't know why. If your friend is pulling stuff like that, you may want to rethink how much time you spend with her. Or, if her friendship is important to you, examine possible reasons for her behavior. Realizing that her competitive nature is due to her own insecurities may help you cope. However, we are going to assume that this is less about your friend and more about your own insecurities. You sound like you don't have the best sense of perspective about your own looks and style, otherwise you wouldn't feel so badly that you have a girlfriend who looks good. When you're around her and start to feel down on yourself, make an effort to remind yourself that you are pretty amazing, too. It might help to make a list of all the things you like about yourself, whether it's your eyes, your infectious giggle or your great athletic ability. You can't be second best at everything! Also, there's nothing wrong with admitting to your friend that you sometimes feel a bit envious of her. She may surprise you by revealing that she has her own moments of wishing she had your gorgeous smile, killer arms or amazing dance skills. Most of all, it's important to remind yourself that there's room for both of you to look good. Just because she shines doesn't mean you can't, too!
