ok my brother is in 7th grade and he is very curious. he always trys to look at porn but my mom always catches him. So tonight i turned on my laptop and a bunch of porn videos with boobs and stuff came up. I guess my computer died before it could get off the website. I don't look at porn but i am 100% positive it was my brother. also a website was up and it was a video game website. and i dont play video games. So my question is, should i tell my mom or not? i am thinking i should just so she knows he hasn't stopped.

amanda & veronica:

we would say,don't tell your mom. its a guy thing to look at porn, and he's gonna find a way to look at it no matter what. pretty much all guys do it. telling your mom would only make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be, and would really embarrass him. but if you catch him doing it on your laptop again, just ask him not to look at it on there, because you don't want things popping up.

I got my period for the first time back in November.
(i'm 14/f, by the way, 15 in a little over 4 weeks) Anyways, my mom doesn't know yet. I don't know how to tell her, because i'm too embarrassed! She said she's thinking about taking me to the doctor if i don't get it (or tell her about it) soon.

Any tips on how to tell her? Thanks soo much!!!!!!!

veronica & amanda:

-the best way to let your mom know without actually saying it,is to drop subtle hints. like,next time she brings it up,just be like, "ya,about that...that happened way back in november." another way is,next time your shopping with her,when you go down the aisle,just put some in the cart,and she will most likely get the hint.
