Tomboy Teen
Posted Sunday August 29 2004, 1:30 am
My 12 year old cousin is going through puberty. She has always been a tomboy and she's disgusted with the whole process. To make matters worse she is developing rapidly (she's already a C-cup), and she started her period. She is normally a very happy person, but has become very depressed. She wears layered clothes and big sweatshirts, in the summer, to hide the changes of her body. Is there anything I can say or do to make her transition any easier?
(I've already tried telling her that it's normal and all girls go through it, but that didn't help.)

26 Year Old Grandmother
Posted Sunday August 29 2004, 1:17 am
When I was 12 years old, I was raped, and became pregnant. I never told my daughter how she was conceived. She is 13 years old, and I just found out that she's pregnant. Her boyfriend's father kicked him out of his house as a result. Abortion is out of the question. We have to decide whether my daughter and her boyfriend will raise the baby themselves or allow me to adopt the child. So I have three questions.
1. How do I tell my daughter the truth about how she was conceived?
2. Should I allow her boyfriend to move in with us, and if so, is it okay to make them sleep in seperate rooms? (His only other option is to move out of the country with his mother.)
3. Do you think it would be better...

fighting
Posted Thursday August 26 2004, 8:04 pm
My mom and I haven't been getting along very well lately. It's like she never lets me go anywhere anymore. I'm almost never allowed to hang out with my friends and I'm 13.. I'm at the time in my life when I need to be with my friends. I've tried talking to her but it doesn't seem to work. She told me that I'm a problem to her. I almost cried. I just replied "It's nice to know that your own kid is a problem," and I walked into my room. I just don't know what to do anymore. I lost my best friend because my mom didn't ever let me go to her house because the parents weren't home. I know she's just trying to protect me, but it's like she doesn't trust me. And she won't let me walk around outside when I'm with my friends. She says she d...

Posted Thursday August 26 2004, 4:37 pm
im 18 and my sister is 24. me and my sister dont get along much. once in awhile, were fine, but other than that, shes always screaming at me. a lot of my friends dont like her, nor does my guy. as the years gone by, ive learned to adapt to the way she treats me, but lately, it has gotten too out of hand and it makes me cry a lot. i told her plenty of times before that she hurts my feelings and shed apologize, but the next day, she still treats me like shit. i know that sisters are supposed to be there for each other through thick and thin, but its more like i have her back and she just brings me down, because basically, she does. she makes my parents go against me, which causes me more pain. what should i do? ive tried talking to her numero...

loosing a parent
Posted Thursday August 26 2004, 12:17 pm
Its been almost 3 years since my father died. And its just not getting any easier. I still grieve and have resentment to god for taking him. I sometimes take my anger out on my friends because i have no where to direct it, after wards i feel horrible. If anyone else has lost a parent and knows htings that helps the pain lessen that'd be helpful if you coudl share it. I know the pain won't go away but i just wish i wasn't constantly sad, crying or taking my anger out on my friends.

Name baby after ex
Posted Thursday August 26 2004, 4:59 am
My friend has been married for 3 years. She and her husband are expecting their first child in December. (It's a boy.) They are trying to pick a name. Her husband really likes the name Jonathan, but he doesn't know that she has an ex-boyfriend named Jonathan. Do you think she should tell him about her ex or just go ahead and name the baby Jonathan anyway?
