  • What symptoms are there of testicular cancer?

    I'm 17 years of age and my uncle had testicular cancer when he was roughly my age.

    I recently started to self-examine that area occasionally just to note if there is a bump or not. I think it's perfectly healthy to practice this so I'm not ashamed to bring this up on the internet.

    Either way, I really wanted to know if there are any symptoms of testicular cancer and what the bump should feel like/where it's positioned. As numerous times I've felt tiny little lumps around the place, usually floating around the actual testicles inside the sack.

    I know I'm more than likely just being paranoid, but at the same time it's always good to be safe, and in general I just want an education to what I should be looking for in case I were to have/get testicular cancer.

    I'll ask for anyone who's planning on writing an immature tasteless comment about this subject not to because you're wasting both of our time and I just need proper answers :-) Thanks!

  • I need help with my Self Esteem?

    Hey there, well, I have trouble with my self esteem, it's quite hard to explain but I'll try my best.

    I'm nearly 18 years of age, and in fairness I have made some achievements I can be proud of.

    But my self esteem issues rely mainly on my appearance.

    I've been told by others that I am good looking (Not that I believe it),

    But I still struggle with certain features I have.

    (I know I should accept and be happy with who I am but I don't know why I can't seem to do so)

    I'm 5"5 (pretty short) so I always worry if height matters. I'm gay so I've been told height doesn't matter for gay people very much at all.

    That height doesn't determine how good looking a person is.

    But I feel doubtful in myself and I'm usually upset in school when all the other guys are taller than me and I compare myself to them, or if I see younger teenagers who'd be the same height as me, I'd compare myself to them and become upset with what I see (in relation to height).

    I do have other self esteem issues, but at present my height is upsetting me the most.

    I really want to deal with my issues of self esteem so I can focus on other problems in my life which I know are much more important. (As this is clearly very trivial)

    I just have issues accepting and being happy with what I have.

    I know many people will respond telling me to be greatful and happy with what I've got and that looks aren't even everything.

    But I REALLY just need to know how to be happy.

    I'd very much appreciate help for this topic.

    And refrain from posting rude remarks etc. As they will only be reported and uncared for! :)

    Thanks!

  • A question for gay men. Does height matter?

    This more than likely sounds RIDICULOUS. But at present I've been very low on self esteem.

    I get a lot of people saying I'm good looking etc. (By that they mean my face I suppose).

    But I'm 5"5 so I always worry so much whether it matters or not...

    I know I can't change my height and I more than likely won't grow very much more as I'm 18 and the genetics in my family suggest I'll stay this height.

    But I just really want to know, does height really matter?

  • How do I forget about the individuals in my past/ Be happy Single?

    I don't want to be a moan but I really have been feeling **** for ages. And it's not over stuff that should be a big deal.

    (Age 17)

    Like, I've been in a lot of relationships the past year, and recently, I can't even get into a relationship because they all end before it's possible to start one.

    I know that may sound slutty, but I'm not like that, I just like the company and of course sex drive at my age is a bit hard to reduce.

    I'm trying right now (after my recent failed encounter) to just be with myself and feel happy. But it's not happening, like, I just keep thinking about the people in the past, who I would've liked, but rejected me, bad mistakes I've made, and these thoughts I can't seem to get away from my head. I've never verbalized these feelings because I don't even feel I have many proper friends. I mean I'm friendly with EVERYONE. But it seems I just don't feel close enough to anyone to talk to.

    I probably seem like a sensitive hormonal teenager who's so desperate the internet is their only hope. And that'd probably be right! But just could someone give me some help.

    It'd be really appreciated, thanks.

    I know I shouldn't really be worrying about relationships at my age, this isn't really to do with that issue. It's to do with the pain from the past I'm trying to get rid of :/

    I just need to know HOW, and not what I'm meant to do. I know I'm meant to forget the past.

    I just don't know how

  • I like my ex again...?

    Hey, well, I broke up with my ex at the end of January and I hadn't seen him ever since then, and today I saw him and I think he still has feelings for me... And for some reason I'm starting to REALLY like him again...

    The problem is, I broke up with him for a reason... And it was small little things that annoyed me about him...

    I love him... And I want to be with him.. But I don't want to break up with him again because I know it would be horrible..

    Also

    I don't want to look like a jerk who can't make up his mind...

  • Am I just confused about being gay?

    Ever since I was around 9 to 11 I've had sexual feelings for only guys and none for girls. And most people can identify me as gay. But my family and a few others have told me that you can't know you're gay until you've had sex with someone. I truelly want to be straight. (Not that I have a problem with gay people) It's just I want to have a family and I want to be married to a women. I don't have sexual feelings for women but I still would go out with one and kiss one. Am I just confused at this age? Do most guys go through something like this?

  • Problems with Parents accepting.?

    I've told my Mom and now my whole family know. What's awful is that she just says "You're not gay you're just confused and young". I'm 15 nearly 16 and out of what I know, I can know at this stage. I've explained the dynamics of this so many times but she still says I wont know until I'm older. She always says that my uncle thought he was gay when he was young but realized he was straight when he was older. Which did give me doubt but, I don't know... I have very strong feelings for guys sometimes and none for women. I always see my friends who are girls my best friends or my "sisters" and my Mom keeps stating that I don't act gay. Even though I've told her that you can be macho and still be gay. I'm not macho or whatever.. I dress well and make sure my hair is nice and help my friends who are girls shop for dresses for discos and all that. It's really upsetting that she wont accept it. Neither will my Dad nor brother. My eldest brother on the other hand my eldest brother thought I was in a way all along.

    What also annoys me is that I'd be talking to my Dad and I'm not sure how I got onto this but we were talking about marriage. And he said "One day you will be married to a pretty women and have lots of kids" I just sat there quietly until; I was finished my soup and walked away.

    I hate it when they say stuff like that to me. My Mom and Dad are very tolerant of gay people but seem to not be able to accept me.

  • Being Bullied In School For Being Gay.?

    All my good friends in school and outside school know I'm gay, but I'm afraid that the rest of my year will find out I'm gay and bully me. Already I've had 1 person come up to me and talk to me about being gay (He wasn't bullying me or anything he was saying it was strong of me to come out). But I'm afraid that word will spread and then people will start bullying me because I'm gay. A friend of mine in my year whos gay came out last year and well, I'm not too sure what's happening btu people were talking about him with each other. He wasn't very much liked in the first place because he acted kinda of like a jackass to people. But I'm quite liked in my school, usually people say Hi to me when I'm going to class or whatever. But I just want to know if any of you (who revealed it in school) got bullied for it.

  • Would you consider finding a Gay guy hard?

    I'm 15 and I guess I don't know many gay people. In fact only 2... Lol! And neither of them I really have an attraction to. My cousin whos lesbian said that she finds it hard to find people and so she goes on sites to meet people. I think I'm too young to go onto a site to find people especially since the people on them would probably be much older. I know for a definite that it's hard to find someone now. But is it this hard when you're older?? I hope to God not! Lol! I know about Gay Bars and all that but I'd be too nervous to go on my own. I wouldn't know how to cope. (Btw I'm talking about when I'm older:P).

    Thanks.

  • Am I too young to know I'm gay?

    Since I was around 9 or 10 I've had feelings for guys. I never actually had a fantasy about a girl. And I've always denied that I was gay even though I had very strong feelings for guys and never had anything for a girl. Now that I've accpeted it. I feel more confident that I am, and I've told my good friends and my family. All my friends said they will be there to support me but my family believe I'm too young to know if I am or not.

    If it was just a "one time" feeling of a guy then I'd dismiss this situation completely. But the fact that I've always found men attractive and the fact that I never have found women attractive seems to me to be very convincing. Of course, my family don't know that part.

    Also for some odd reason whenever I think about the fact that "I may not be gay after all" I feel a bit sad for some reason.

    I'm not sure how to describe how confused this all makes me feel. Everything was more simple when I was the only person who knew. Because now I feel like some people are trying to make me think "Straight".

    Please tell me (if you are gay) when you found out and what you think because I need this problem resolved!
