Does a tampon usually break the hymen?
I wanted to try tampons because I have a heavy flow and it feels so yucky when I'm wearing a pad. I'm a little afraid of breaking my hymen, because I've heard it hurts. Does a tampon usually break the hymen?
Also, how bad does it hurt to break the hymen, from experience?
7 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoWhat do you think of my poem?
it's about how sometimes instead of holding it in you have to let your emotions and feelings out. I put it in a metaphorical way as best I could. What do you think? Constructive critisism is appreciated and anything that will help me get better. Heck, you can trash it and tell me how much you don't like it if you want.
The Flood
Attempting to hide the tears
was as useless as my existence.
The threat of a downpour
due to my stubborn persistence.
At the peak of the thunder
shadows will hide the valley’s true depth.
Rolling and lurking towards my heart
making my mind too inept.
Now let loose the anguish
all the sorrow, all the pain.
All the love I have for you
All the clichés to my name.
Let it go like a flood
to waste away the day.
Because blue skies always cry
eventually anyway
4 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoHow is this poem about drugs?
I was thinking about things to write a poem about and this came to mind. I posted this on FictionPress but didn't get much feedback.. Constructive critisism is strongly appreciated. Anything I did wrong or what I can do to improve.
He was starting something terrible
and he was ending with it.
A burden carried on
fragile shoulders of those
who cared.
It was evil crushed
into grains. It promised
sweet releases.
As it had consumed his head,
it devoured his senses,
dominating over him.
it was suicide
rolled into a
tight joint.
Confusing his thoughts,
his life changed
in one night.
Such a large amount,
in such a short period
of time.
Precious time
he would never get back.
Craving more
with every puff,
every snort.
He knew
he was living a lie,
and he found out
that life has no meaning.
But he was continuing,
perishing.
It was a few weeks later
we found him lying
on the floor.
His heart not beating.
Hope you liked it! What did you think?
4 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoShould I take AP Geography?
I am going into 9th grade and I had an option of going into AP Geography. My teacher says I have the potential, but my (college) brother says that I should get used to High School work before College work. How much work is AP courses, like how much homework and how complicated is it? I'm book smart.
5 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoQuestion about cleansing?
I'm 14 years old, and my friend is doing a 5 day cleansing (same age) that her family does every 6 months. My step-father, who always likes to mess with me, said that cleansing is for insecure woman who are dissatisfied with their body and is not supposed to be used for the teenage population. I'm not really insecure, but I've heard that cleansing is good for your body and I wanted to try it out. Is it true that it's not healthy for a 14 year old? Thanks.
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoCough, but no other symptoms?
I thought at first I had a cold. But then I realized that I didn't have any of the symptoms of the common cold but a cough. I also have a constant headache in my temporal area, but no stuffy nose, congestion, etc. No cough/cold medicine had any effect on me, and Motrin didn't help my headache. The cough I have really hurts and sometime it feels like my lungs are filled with so much phlegm that I can't breath until I cough it out. At one point it felt like I tore my throat up just coughing so much. What could this be, besides the common cold? I am almost 14 years old.
3 AnswersRespiratory Diseases1 decade agoHaikus? My first I've ever written, so please give feedback!?
These are the first haikus I've ever written, and I need to know how they are to everyone else. I had to write them for my 8th grade English class. Please tell the truth! They are haikus about various things.
Insomnia:
Sleep evades me,
insomnia takes over.
Yet, I dream of you
---
Dieing:
Too overwhelming.
The pain takes over now.
Say goodbye, last chance.
---
Homeless:
Beg and plead for more,
their stomachs vast emptiness.
Left without a home.
---
Rose:
Beautiful crimson,
it’s like my heart. It has thorns
and it’s withering.
----------
Beach:
Sunsets like fire,
powder sand between your toes,
palm trees in the breeze.
Waves crashing on the
shores, the sound puts me to sleep.
Utterly gorgeous.
---
Backstabbing:
See pain in her eyes,
enjoy it while you can.
You inflicted it.
-------
Fantasy Land:
You and I only,
where you whisper lovely words,
where you love me
------
Take me Away:
Take me away from
this lonely place I
should be calling home
----------
PLEASE PLEASE be completely truthful and give me any suggestions on getting better?

Here I Stay: (screwed up rhyming scheme)
sorrow and grief
no relief
they threaten to run down
my ugly face
retched tears
silly fears
catch my breath, hope to death
that I won’t go down tonight
black on black
quiet attack
darkness surrounding
me
no escape
from the façade
that binds me here
today
heavy burdens
on my heart
such a fragile thing
from the start
reach out
cry out
touch nothing
silent cries
creep through slowly
slowly devouring
as I’m cowering
away from myself
eat my way
through the day
maybe I’ll make it
until then here I stay
Premonition:
No fear of what’s behind,
only what’s to come.
The fear of my impending doom,
scarce hope, only some.
My premonition of what will take me soon,
leaves me breathless, shaken.
Flickering and faltering images of my past,
the punishment in the making.
That dark ‘something’ is catching up,
repercussions of my past.
Soon my actions will obliterate me
only my shadows left to cast.
Dark shadows devouring the light,
lurking, haunting.
Reflections of myself and what I have done,
laughing, taunting.
I look into the mirror one last time
and see what I’ve become.
Dark eyes taken over with hate,
but there’s still more to come.
So now I sit alone and cry.
My tears pour over and I moan.
Consequences of my actions
left me so alone.
Forever I Will:
I see you all around me
but my mind knows your not there
only a figment of my imagination
a beautiful one
I see glimpses of you
an illusion of my past
trying to break me down
it’s working
I feel you all around me
just out of my grasp
can’t touch you, I reach out
and find nothing
I feel your presence
seek you out only
to find empty air
I’m alone
I hear you all around me
your voice sounds like an angel’s
whispering words that I want to hear
words you will never speak.
I hear you close to me
breathing low and quiet
whispering more
lovely words.
I see you
I feel you
I hear you
I love you
Forever
Theif:
Poison snaking through my veins
Adds onto the pain.
More
Sneaky and sly
Your tricky little games
Broken hearts galore.
Pushing through the wall
Try to get past my barricade
Success.
Crashing down, then I fall
Broken heart and façade
Down I go
Forever falling in misery
Never peaceful, no relief
Forever
You- forever ingrained in my memory
Brings only hurt and grief
Save me
My heart, stolen
Forever you will keep it.
Theif
Swollen:
Everyone’s clueless
about what’s going on
in that tiny little house
during the crack of dawn.
Beatings and torture,
bleeding and screaming.
The poor child thinks
life has no meaning.
Cowering away
from the person inflicting
this pain on him
with punching and kicking.
The dad had a hangover
while the mom is on crack.
The child is terribly skinny
from the food he lacks.
He screams for mercy
but the beating continues.
He’s loosing his life,
and all that he values.
He never deserved this
and it still goes unexplained
as the parents abuse him
completely unrestrained.
Twenty seven bruises
scattered across him.
A slice on his forehead
and ten on his limb.
He cries when their gone
his head barely maintained,
and grieves over all that
they have detained.
His head itches
from the lice he’s obtained.
But the beatings gradually worsen
the more he complains.
Only ten years old
with his virginity stolen.
Now he lays on the floor
bleeding and swollen.
As you can see, most of them are angst poetry. Mostly what I'm feeling right now (being a teenager and all). Tell me what you truthfully think about them.

18 AnswersRock and Pop1 decade agoBreaking Benjamin fans.?
Their song "Had Enough" is one of my favorites, and I've heard that it was directed to their former drummer, Hummel. I heard that Hummel sued Breaking Benjamin for something. Is this true, that it is directed towards him? And what was Breaking Benjamin sued for by him? The song lyrics go like this:
Milk it for all it's worth.
Make sure you get there first.
The apple of your eye.
The rotten core inside.
We are all prisoners.
Things couldn't get much worse.
I've had it up to here, you know your end is near.
[Chorus:]
You had to have it all,
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard,
You will get what you deserve.
When all is said and done,
I will be the one to leave you in the misery and hate what you've become.
