Hi,

I am a 16 year old girl who is experiencing the following on one of my breasts. There are only two small areas where it shows up, and only one of those areas have thicker skin (that area is very tiny, like a little strip worth). It sounds a lot like breast cancer, but not only is that rare for a girl my age, but I do not have any of the other symptoms (inverted nipple, swollen lymph nodes by the armpit, fever, etc.). I have fairly small breasts too and they aren't growing much. I don't know if that helps anything, just putting it out there, but they've always been that way. I have had the splotchiness for almost 2 months now, it occured out of nowhere as far as I know, and it accompanied with no other symptoms or changes in my body.

Nevertheless I am a little concerned and I want to know why my breast is this way. I would prefer to go to the doctor only if it sounds like I need to. If you have any ideas please help me out!

I think I'm going to do it soon with my boyfriend...I'm emotionally ready, I've already been to third base a good amount of times and am comfortable with any other sexual things, but I'm still a little scared for intercourse. Especially for the pain. Any tips on how to get over any of this, or just to prepare me for it?

Hi,

So I have a strange situation where whenever I use a tampon, I can always feel the string right where it enters my vagina, and it's very uncomfortable, especially when I sit. I know the tampon is in right because I can't feel the actual tampon inside of me. There is no discomfort there. I put in the tampon 100% correctly, start squatting, put it in so it is slightly angled towards the small of my back, make sure to push it in until where I'm holding it with my fingers touches my vagina, push the smaller end of the applicator and remove the outer shell. Again, I don't feel the tampon inside of me at all. But, I can ALWAYS feel the string. Right at my vaginal entrance. I am a virgin, and it is about my 5th time using a tampon, and it is the same case every time. Help? I don't like pads. They're messy.

I'm not super concerned but I want to make sure.

I am a 15 year old girl who's had her period for almost a year. My period almost always comes late, by about a week or two, but I assumed it's because I haven't had it for very long and the cycle is still settling in.

But, my last period came October 5th and it hasn't come since, nor am I getting any PMS or signs that it is coming as of now. I am fairly skinny/small and school is relatively stressful (as it is for most high school students), but it never stopped it from coming in the past. I haven't been that stressed at all lately, and my weight has not dropped. Should I be concerned? I haven't gone so long without getting my period since I got it for the first time.

Again, it's almost been a year since I first got it.

I was on a plane coming back from visiting my grandparents for Thanksgiving Break. I had been slightly sick during the time I was there, but they all seemed like they were due to allergies (coughing and phlegm that went away within 4 days, then runny nose/sneezing that lasted about 2-3) . On the plane, right before we descended, both of my ears got the feeling that they needed to be popped, but then were followed by intense pressure and pain in both ears. I assumed it was either because of the allergies or the pressure from being so high up. Sure enough, the pain subsided when we landed. But, one of my ears can't seem to 'pop' ever since the plane ride. I've tried chewing gum, holding my nose/closing my mouth and exhaling firmly, and nothing seems to work. I don't think it is earwax because my other ear seems to be fine, and I don't see any running or earwax on the inside of my ear. Any ideas on how to clear it up? Should I go to a doctor?

Hi.

I'm a (just turned) 15 year old girl. I got my period about half a year ago. I was already pretty small...about 98 pounds and 5'1. About a 32A-B cup. Size 0-1 in jeans.But recently, I've noticed I'm getting smaller, and I don't know why.

My boobs have shrunk. They still fit the bras more or less the same, but I can see them getting smaller. The "curve" under the boobs is not as significant. I can swear that they look smaller.

I used to have an almost thigh gap (but they still touched at the top), and now I have a definite thigh gap.

My mom even pointed out that I've been getting skinnier. I'm now around 95 pounds.

But I'm not growing, as far as I know. Maybe a little bit, but I'm still mainly around 5'1. I've been eating the same, doing the same, etc. as I normally do, so I don't understand why I seem to be getting smaller.

I don't drink a lot of coffee, I don't not eat enough, I'm not particularly athletic...so why is this happening to me?

It makes me depressed to be around all my friends who have decent sized boobs and are at good heights and whatnot. I just want to be happy with my body type, but I fail to be...

I know I'm still young and have time to grow and get bigger and whatnot, so it's not my main concern...I just want to know why I am all of the sudden getting smaller.

Hi,

I'm a 15 year old girl who's tried almost everything to get rid of the hair down there. waxing hurts way too much, shaving doesn't last and irritates my skin, plus i always miss spots and cut myself, and trimming doesn't get rid of enough hair.

I just bought a Nair hair removal lotion (says with baby oil? does that help?) and I want to try it out-however, i've heard bad things about using this down there.

It says it's safe for bikini area but not for the actual thing (by actual thing you know what i mean, but ill get banned if i say it on yahoo)? aren't they the same thing?

but i want to make sure. some people say as long as you dont leave it on too long it'll be fine...i'm not really sure.

please let me know, i dont want to burn myself or whatever.

if you say no, then can you give me another hair removal option that lasts and wont irritate?

thank you!

So i missed what is supposed to be my second time for my period. its been almost a week since i was supposed to get it.

i had light brownish discharge a couple days ago and cramps and fatigue, and i thought it was coming, but it's not.

what's going on? do you think because it's only my second one that its not gonna be regular?

i am relatively skinny but with bigger hips i guess...my mom said at my age she skipped periods all the time (im 14) because she was skinny like me

idk just tell me its normal? i think it is i just want to make sure and maybe when it'll come

Hi, so i've been shaving down there for a couple of times. first time i had awful razor bumps and ingrown hairs...but now it's been better. however, my area still gets super irritated! I do wear tight clothes like skinny jeans so i know that plays into it...but still. I use all natural shaving cream and men's two bladed razor, and shave at the end of my showers so my hair is softened. and i trim beforehand. i do have thicker hair although i am white and have no italian or spanish blood in me that would make it hairier or darker of whatever.

afterwards i put on on of: preventing shaving irritation deoderant, witch hazel with aloe vera, etc. but they only work for a short amount of time before i get itchy and red. i dont know what to do anymore, and i feel like since im 14 it would be awkward to wax, and i dont want so much pain. please help me figure out what to do so it wont get irritated? it just keeps getting irritated, i feel like i've tried so many things. and i dont get those pus bumps, by the way. i just sometimes get red razor bumps but mainly it's just itchy and reddish.

another thing: i can never seem to get the hair around the actual v-hole (lol). I can shave my front area really easy, but i cant get the area around the hole very well i always miss spots, how can i do that in the shower? and without cutting myself? i just dont want it to be gross especially in thaat area, like hair overload. thanks (:

Hi! So im a 14 year old girl who has just gotten her period. but, I'm really small. I'm only around 5'1 maybe less and about 98-100 pounds. I'm pretty skinny but normal i guess? I'm also a bra size 32a-b depending on the store. i'm like a 7th grade girl's body and size but older, and with bigger hips. My mom got her period when she was about as small as me, which is normal, but she said she didnt bleed a lot because she was so small. But I'm kind of bleeding a lot! It almost seems like too much for my size. I'd have to change every 2-3 hours (my pad, which was i think just a normal pad size) on my first 3-4 days and about 3-4 hours later on my last half of my period, except for the last two days. My last two days I just bleed light amounts of brown discharge and i have to regularly change a pantiliner. But I've been bleeding for 7 days, and it might still be there tomorrow, again in the form of very light brown discharge or older blood or whatever. And I'm bleeding for what seems like a lot on top of how long I've had it. All my smaller friends tell me they dont bleed as much as me or for as long. Someone please tell me if this is normal.

Hi guys!

Just want to get a little insight-

what smells good on a girl? For a date, what would you want her to smell like and where could i possibly get it?

Do you prefer skirts or skinny jeans?

Oh, and what do you find attractive in girls especially on dates? what really engages you?

Thank you so much. THis is really gonna be helpful for valentines day for me.

Hi. So im in mexico right now and i heard that the tap water isnt clean and carries parasites. I have not swallowed any-however, i have a retainer (thing to keep my teeth in place after braces) and i rinsed that with the bad water and brush my teeth with it. sometimes afterwards, when i'm done brushing my teeth and put my retainer back in, i have to swallow a bit. but just dry swallowing. but since i brushed by teeth and my retainer using the water...and i am dry swallowing after rinsing...could i get sick?

if that is all too complicated, i would just like to know how much of the water would you have to swallow to get sick?

thank youuuu.

i really dont want to get sick

Hi. I play vibes and I would like to know tips or what is the best way to learn different inversions for chords, preferably more complex ones? With color tones like flat 5 and sharp 9 and all of that? i know how to make them up (third and seven in one hand, extension in the other) but i can never remember them. please let me know a good way to remember chord voicings? and dont say practice or play more because i do a lot of that.

hi. i am 14 and a half and getting a little tired of things...im still 3 and a half inches shorter than my mom (im like 5 feet and a half, she's 5'4 roughly) and all my friends are as tall as their parents. im a girl btw. i dont have my period yet. i have boobs but they still look like they arent finished growing. they probably arent, they grew for a good period of time and just stopped. im like a 32 a. i dont like being smaller and shorter than my friends. i dont like being not very curvy, even though i share the same jean size as many of my friends (a 25). i feel so embarrased. i'm going to hawaii for spring break and i dont want to wear a bathing suit because they completely eliminate any trace of boob i have, which i do. ive had discharge stuff for YEARS. i remember getting breast buds when i was in 5th grade ish. i just seemed to have stopped growing boobs and stop growing taller. the only thing growing is my jean size (i was a 23-24 for a while and now i cant fit 23). it really really sucks still. everyone calls me cute and little and as much as that sounds like a good thing its not. it's thrown me into depression before and i really dont want it to again.

i cant take my mind off of it. i cant just ignore it and let it come, its IMPOSSIBLE i tell you. please give me help. i hate lying about my bra size and the fact that i do have my period. fml.

how can i speed up puberty or help it in any way...if i cant how can i look like i am farther along? thanks. i dont want to have a miserable, teary 9th grade year worrying about this.

btw i get very sleepy a lot and am a vegetarian but i eat very healthy...i think there is a possibility i am anemic because last year i got a lot of chest pain when i stretched back and now i get lots of headaches and stress and sometimes my heart does jumps and there'll be a tiny moment of me losing my breath and then it'll go away pretty quickly after that so idk if that affects anything

help please? anything supportive besides saying "honey your a late bloomer" because i think thats pretty evident at this point

please only serious answers...this is kind of embarrasing...but i have this pasty wet white stuff around my clitoral hood that sort of sits in the crevises of it. i feel like if a guy were to ever look down there he would think that's gross. (im 14 btw). its kind of nasty...its like discharge that didnt make it to my underwear so it kinda just sat there and built up around my vagina. it kinda smells fishy too. its not cottage cheesy though. i can wipe it away with toilet paper but it always comes back. if i shave, will it go away? or, how can i make it go away? its really bugging me. thanks.

hi everyone. im a 14 year old girl and i guess you can call me a late bloomer. whatever. anyways, i've been able to avoid it pretty much throughout 6-7th grade, but im in 9th grade now and its just awful. im only 97 pounds and 5 feet tall (supposed to reach a final height of around 5'3...). i have size 32a boobs and am skinny (runs in my genes). i wear a size 24 in jeans, and xs in everything else. i hate the way i am. everyone is either bigger as in taller or curvier than me. i cant seem to be happy...im turning 15 in june and i dont want to be stuck looking the same way. im sick of it. i cry so much over it. my mom and my grandma talk all the time about how my 16 year old brother is nearly as tall as my dad and im still 3 and a half inches shorter than my mom, and how i dont look any different than i did 6 months ago and how i seem to be 'so behind' compared to all my friends. its frustrating.she tells my family members i still dont have my period, which is also just embarrasing. having your dad call you a late bloomer and telling you to 'face the facts' is one of the worst things to hear. i just want to be happy. i hate crying every night over the way i ******* look. guys dont like me because im too small and my body looks like it isnt fully developed...they dont even care to look at my personality. i cut myself once last year because i was so unhappy with everything (and over friend issues and other things) and i dont want to get into those positions again. im not depressed but i get so upset over this....why cant i just have something like everyone else? why me? please help me figure out ways to fix this, or at least for me to be happy. i hate my parents for telling everyone my problems. im waiting for the day when im almost as tall as my mom. when i have b size boobs. when i have my period and i can complain about it with my friends (dont you dare say trust me you dont want it or something. im tired of hearing that.). when people wont refer to me as that adorable small girl anymore. i hate this. i hate this. i hate it so much. please help me feel better about myself. i cant take it anymore. i cant stand it. ): ): ): ):

please dont just say "relax and dont think about it..." or something because trust me, its not that simple. i dont work that way, and i dont think anyone else does. i dont want to hate my life.

hi! im a teenager with kind of puffy wavy hair that's dyed a natural looking auburn. i am thinking about dyeing it this color....http://s3.favim.com/orig/42/california-dimples-fal... or http://moneymakingideasforum.info/wp-content/uploa...

my natural hair color is light brown, so my eyebrows are that color. i have slightly paler skin and a heart shaped, skinny face. would this work with my hair and face, etc.? and im pretty sure about this already but i would have to bleach my hair beforehand, right?

thank you! (:

hi. im a 14 year old girl in the 9th grade and i think i have a mental problem. i have this thing where it seems like im on and off depressed. i get this way because i really am unsatisfied constantly with the way i look. im really short for my age (5 feet) am close to underweight (about 97 pounds) and although i will say im not ugly and my body is not too terrible, i think it is terrible. i always find myself comparing myself to other girls and thinking about how much better i would be if i was only 5'4, or how much better i would be if i didnt have such small boobs, how i wouldnt have to suffer if i wasnt the last girl in my class to get my period (i have to pretend to everyone that i have it ): ), how if only my body was perfect. some days ill be fine and it wont bug me at all, and then some other days something small will trigger the emotions, even if it isn't paticularly bad (this girl said i was so cute today and i know that was a compliment but it made me feel like a little kid) and it sends me so down in the dumps. i get angry at my parents a lot and my mom thinks i have an attitude problem, and i never want to tell my mom any of whats going on. i want to keep this all inside myself. i heard about this disorder called Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I match all of the symptoms pretty much exactly, except for i have a problem with my body and am not worried about my nose or hair or face, which is the main thing about BDD. i also dont mind taking pictures of myself because i again i dont think im ugly (sometimes i will stress about giant pimples or my braces or my smile but thats about it) its my body that i hate constantly. i cannot think positive. it doesnt work like that. theres something wrong with me that is making me think way worse about myself than i really am. i have incredibly low self esteem and think about how guys wont ever like me for the way i look...which is awful but i cant help but think about how others may think about me and why everything cant just be better. i really just want to be happy, but i think theres something thats stopping me from being happy constantly with myself. i am only happy sometimes. i've thought about therapy but i dont want to bring my parents into it and i always think about how it might pass (my negative thoughts) but they always come back. this isnt just me being a stressed out teenager. this is something else, and i dont know what it is.

its not depression because i never have a desire to really kill myself. i've wondered how the world would be without me but i know that there are some people that care, im just obsessed with my imperfectness and i dont know i really need help finding out whats wrong with me.

Hii. so im 14 and i have a history of being short...but i feel like my growth has randomly just stopped...i was around 4'7-4'8 in 7th grade. I grew the summer going into 8th grade to 4'11. im 5 feet now maybe 5 and a half and just started in 9th grade... but i have not grown since june. neither have my boobs, really. i have grown about half of a jean size in that time. my mom is 5'3-'54. im expected to be her height but i havent grown in what seems like forever...why is this? i do not get a lot of sleep due to school so i dont know if thats it...or the fact that im a pescatarian...i eat very healthy and i dont know, i just am not growing whatsoever. it seems like puberty for me has temporarily stopped. help, i would like to know why? should i see a doctor? when will this change? is there something wrong with me? if not, when will i continue growing again? it's frustrating to be 5 foot in 9th grade AND be a size xs/24-25 and 32a when all of your friends are much bigger...):

hi. i am a 14 year old girl. so basically...when i was 12, i was probably around 4'8 ish. i was a little chubby and had a big butt for my size (i fit a 00-0 then). then...i grew. once i grew i lost my big butt completely and my stomach/chubbiness...which would be great if i was 5'4 or taller but im not. now im like a 0-1 size in jeans...but im 5 feet tall and have no butt. i have wide hips but my calves and butt and thighs are now so skinny and small. i even wore those jeans that dont have back pockets...and my butt looked tiny. im not even a really small size in jeans. but it's really unattractive...and it makes me want to cry everyday. i do have a slightly fast metabolism, am vegetarian, and just small in general. but even my small friends have bigger butts than me. and if anything...if my butt isnt small, it's flat. and it's a problem. i hate feeling bad about myself for this reason. i've even eaten a bunch of fattening or protien filled things for a week and it does nothing for me.

i am very skinny, and my family is skinny. but everyone in my family has at least a decent butt...(my mom is 5'4 and wears a size 26-28 whereas i am a 24-25) i dont. i know im still growing but i want to fix this issue now. i am very petite...in tops im an xs...i guess that much of it's genetic but the *** thing is something i can fix and i want it fixed. i just dont know how.

is there any way i can solve this issue?

should i stop being vegetarian?

should i get a protein shake kind of deal?

what clothes are going to help that wont cost a lot?

i dont have a lot of time for butt exercises because i am completely crammed with school...

i already have high waisted jeans, cinched skirts, tighter jeans, and they really still dont do anything for me.

please. i want to stop looking in the mirror in my school bathroom and thinking about how much i hate the way my almost non existant curves look. i just want to be happy. i am not the type of person that can just suddenly think completely positive...i've had this problem for a year and have not been able to fix it or think good about it.
