  • I‘m a virgin and i have 3 lumps around my vagina, really scared!!!?

    I‘m 16 and I have never had sex or anything close, i‘ve only madeout with guys. I have had these pea sized lumps around my vagina for a while now, the first one came over a year ago and the others came over time. They get big and then small and then i think they‘re gone but they get bigger again!! The first one i had is almost gone but i can still feel it if i feel around for it.

    They dont hurt unless i squeeze them. The third one i got is a bit smaller than a pea and i noticed there was a little, almost “tip“ to it, so i squeezed it and some blood came out. I got really scared and left it alone.

    I do shave down there sometimes so could they just be ingrown hairs? They werent there until i started shaving. I‘ve had no genital contact at all so i cant imagine it being an STD or HPV but i just want to make sure. I‘m too embarrased to tell my mom and go to a doctor, especially if its nothing.

    I‘ve looked up what it could be but i‘m still worried and confused about them. How do i get rid of them?? Please help!! :(

  • Can someone give me some medieval (preferably spanish) girl names please?

    I'm writing a book that takes place during the spanish inquisition in 1485 and I can't for the life of me find a suitable name for the main girl character. Most names I find are very bland, such a "Marina" (that's what I named one of the supporting characters) but I want a more feisty name for my main, the difficult part is that it has to be within that specific time period. Any suggestions or websites would be a great help, thanks in advance! :)

  • How Can I Sleep? (Naturally And Without Medication)?

    I already asked this but the answers weren't very helpful :/

    PLEASE READ ALL!!

    I'm 16 years old and ever since I can remember, I've never been that great of a sleeper. It's at the point where I'm laying in bed, wide awake until 3 or 4am (and I have to get up at 7am for school). When I talk to my mom about it, she gets mad and says "you just have to go to bed earlier!". She doesn't understand that just because I go to bed at 9 or 10, it doesn't mean I'm going to sleep. I just end up laying there all night. I'm not aloud to take medication (my family has a history of addiction and she's worried that if I start taking sleeping pills then I can easily get addicted, and I agree so meds are out of the question).

    A few nights ago I stayed up literally all night and all day, no sleep whatsoever, to see if that would make me tired for the next night. It didn't work. I ended up wide awake until 2am the next night. I tried going to bed late and then getting up early, but then I realized that that's EXACTLY what I do through out the school year: I sleep late and then get up at 7 and I'm STILL not tired when night comes. I'm exhausted when I get up obviously, I feel like someone hit me in the face with a shovel, but then by the time I go to bed, I'm fully awake. It's a really awful cycle.

    I've looked online numerous times and did the general advice, like shut down all electronics an hour or so beforehand and then read for a bit, things like that but NONE of them have worked.

    I've tried warm milk and tea but they just made me gag, I can't stand either of them. And they certainly didn't make me tired.

    Sometimes I am so tired that I feel my eyes bulging out of my head but I still don't sleep. I lay calmly on my bed, relaxed, shut my eyes, breath, clear my head etc. but I just can't shut down.

    People have mentioned sleeping apps but my ipod is the new nano (which is awful, don't buy it) and it doesn't have any apps but is there music I can download? Luckily I actually enjoy classical music so listening to it won't be a problem. Are there any specific composers I should download? What about hypnosis recordings or videos I can watch? Does that stuff work? I'm getting pretty desperate here :/

    ANY advice is appreciated! Thank you so much in advance :)

  • Help from someone who speaks fluent french please! (read description)?

    I would REALLY appreciate if someone who speaks fluent french (so no online translators please) could translate one OR both of these paragraphs. My french is absolutely terrible and it'll just take forever to translate these by myself, I know it looks like a lot but it doesn't have to be perfect. Again, you don't have to do both to get the 10 points. Thank you in advance!

    Since a young age, Rhoads loved classical music. He studied the cello, violin, flute, saxophone, tuba and of course guitar. His plan was to become a classical guitarist, until around the age of 12, when he fell in love with rock. He formed the metal band Quiet Riot when he was 16, alongside his best friend Kelly Garni and Kevin Dubrow. The band was an overnight phenomenon, even though Rhoads’ guitar playing was criticized as dull, the group went on to record another album. After 5 years, Rhoads became extremely frustrated with the lack of freedom given from front man Dubrow, and left the band, unaware of the success and opportunities awaiting him.

    When the band was on tour to promote their new album Diary Of A Madman, Rhoads and another band mate (along with their hairdresser) rented a small bonanza plane to fly around in for a while. The other band members however, were sound asleep in the tour bus. Thinking it would be funny to wake them up and scare them to death, the pilot decided to nudge the bus with the plane. It worked the first two times, but the third time the wing broke off and the plane crashed into a house, bursting into flames. By the time they were found, their faces were burned so bad that they could’t recognize them. The only way inspectors could tell who was who, was from the jewellery they were wearing.

  • Could this actually happen? Is it realistic?

    So this morning I found my old writing portfolio from when i was like in elementary school and found this story outline that i never ended up turning into a story. i'm in high school now and i actually want to write this story that i thought of when i was like 10 years old.

    anyways, in the story my character gets in a car crash and hits his head. 10 year old me decided that the hit made him lose most of his memory. he can still remember his friends and family etc... but throughout the story he gains bits of his memory back in these flash back things or whatever and then at the end he hits his head again and somehow his memory comes back entirely?

    so yeah i was just wondering if that is even possible :p

    since it's probably not, what other ways could he temporarily lose most of his memory and then something triggers it to come back?

  • What's an emo/ mysterious name I could use? +BQ?

    At first I just wanted my character to be a romantic sort so his name was William Rose, but then I decided to make him more emo so I changed his first name to Axl just to fit his mysterious personality. Obviously, I can't name him Axl Rose so what could his surname be?

    BQ- I know his name can be spelled both ways, but which do you prefer? Axl or Axel?

  • (FOR MY NOVEL) would a heavy metal band be a huge hit in Mexico?

    I already asked this in the Mexico section but they weren't all that helpful so I'm hoping you guys can help me out :)

    I'm writing a novel about a heavy metal band that started in Mexico and got famous there but i just want to know if that could even happen. Would the people there like that music at all? I know it's probably different then what they listen to but that's the point of the story: the band took a chance. For example: if the band had like a small backyard concert or whatever and played a spanish version of Crazy Train or Welcome to the Jungle, what do you think the people's reactions would be? what if they didn't translate the songs, would people like them even if they were in english?

    Aside from the music, what would people think of their clothes if they wore the trashy, studs and leather type of clothing and had the long hair?

    and i don't mean a band whose members are mexican but they live and became famous in the states, i mean a band whose from mexico and became a huge hit IN mexico

    what do you guys think?

  • Is this a bad eating habit?

    I don't eat breakfast, but not cause I'm anorexic or something, I'm just not hungry in the morning at all. I feel disgusted and want to puke when I eat that early. I bring a little snack and I eat it during second period when I'm a bit hungrier. I eat my lunch sometimes (either I'm still not hungry or just hungry enough for a fruit or something). Then when I get home I have a little snack (usually junk food). My mom always cooks big, healthy suppers and by then I'm actually hungry so I eat and then I have orange juice or milk or water right before I go to bed (I have supper about 1-2 hours before bed).

    My friends say this is a really unhealthy way to live, but I honestly can't help it if I'm not hungry! Plus, I don't even like breakfast food. I hate cereal, eggs and toast (no matter whats on it). I like pancakes but I wouldn't have time to cook that in the morning anyway.

    On the weekends it's different because I get up around 11 instead of 7 so I'm hungry enough to cook a decent breakfast.

    What do you think???

  • Can a girl sing heavy metal?

    I'm a girl and heavy metal is my life (more specifically Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica and Iron Maiden). Anyways, for talent shows and stuff I've always sang some of their slower songs (dreamer, nothing else matters etc.) But a couple weeks ago I was home alone so I blasted some Ozzy at max volume and well, you know, rocked out lol I started singing along to the song mr. crowley and I kind of liked the way my voice sounded with the style. I went on crazy train and I REALLY liked the way my voice sounded with that. Anyways, so basically I sang along to every song in his greatest hits album then decided to sing by myself and I thought that I sounded pretty good. I have a really loud and kind of rough sounding voice, it's not all soft and sweet. So my question is: would I be able to sing heavy metal in a variety show of something (with a band) and not get, idk, laughed at? do you think I could pull it off?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X85UUDhZaCw

    thats a song that fergie did with slash. a hip hop singer sings a ROCK song and actually pulled it off! To give you an idea of what my voice sounds like, I can sing that song and sound a lot like fergie only my high notes on the chorus are meh (yeah, I need to work on that)

    If you think I could sing this genre could you also recommend some songs? If i do get a band together (it won't be hard; theres A LOT of musicians at our school and most of them like the same bands as me) i don't want to bore them with with slow songs, I get bored just singing them! so what are some fast songs that could match a girls voice? Any tips for singing this genra?

  • How can I take better care of my things?

    I tend to be careless with my stuff and I hate it! When I walk into my room i just throw my bag on the floor and toss my ipod halfway across my room to my desk (i usually miss and it ends up on the floor). it seems that the more expensive the object is, the more reckless i am with it. Ex: two months ago I bought a new electric guitar and after about 5 or 6 weeks i was taking it downstairs and i dropped it and the neck broke off completely. it was a really nice guitar too :'( i tried being more care full but I just don't seem to care. i mean, i do care and all but it's hard to break my old habits!

    I'm getting a new electric in a few days, any tips on how i can "love" it more and take better care of it so it doesn't end up at the bottom of my staircase with a broken neck?

    this goes for the rest of my stuff too, thanks :)

  • What diagnosis could my character have?

    For my book, I want my character to have some sort of mental disorder. People think she's crazy but she isn't; she just thinks and sees the world in a different perspective. she isn't obsessed with death and stuff, she just isn't afraid of it. is there a diagnosis that she could be mentally attached to an object. for example: she literally can't live without a guitar, she loves, lives and breaths the electric guitar so could she possibly be seriously OBSESSED with the guitar, like, she can't help it and she just can't live without looking at one or touching one. is there a diagnosis like that? i overheard my parents talking about my grandmother (who is a teacher) and how she taught a student who was autistic (i THINK it was autism, i might have heard it wrong). they said something like the kid felt EXTREMELY insecure and just wouldn't function properly unless he had his coat on, they said "there's more behind that coat than people think". so the kid was attached to his coat, would that work with my character and the guitar?

    SORRY if this seems like a stupid question but I seriously don't know anything about this stuff :s I'm a writer, not a doctor

  • A way my character can scam people?

    My character work in a car shop in the early 80's and I want the plot to be a car scam he's doing. If anyone remembers the show "21 Jump Street", the second episode these kids were stealing cars, taking them apart, taking and buying the frames at an auction for like 100$, that way they now legally own the car so they put it back together and either keep it or re sell it. I want the scam to be something like that, really planned out carefully and unique. basically, any way my characters can rip off or scam people secretly (until they get caught- or IF they get caught) any ideas? thanks! :)

    OR if you can't think of a car scam are there any drug related scams you can think off?
