Sometimes like for 2 weeks or more at a time, I will not be able to sleep because of something feeling like it is sticking out of my butt, or stuck in there. In the morning it doesn't bother me, but mostly at night. Also when I take a bath it fell somewhat better but i can still feel it. What do you think? 13/f

Remember, no one can actually diagnose this without looking at your bottom, so bring this to the attention of a parent.
Good luck.

Thank you for the feedback. You asked how you tell your parents? I think I would just tell them there's something wrong and you think it might be pinworms. You can just hand them a printed-out version of the paper and tell them that you have the symptoms that are listed, since it's understandable that a 13-year-old wouldn't want to tell her father she has an itchy b-hole in those words. That's how I'd do it.
