1 AnswerDiet & Fitness5 years agowhy did my menstrual cycle get longer?
I started having periods when I was 12 and a half. they were always regular and on time like clockwork, every 28 days I would get my period. I never had to guess when it would come, i would know exactly when to expect it. now, at 17, my period has been a little irregular over the course of about a year. it has been slightly irregular, sometimes they would come late, like 2-5 days late. One period was 17 days later than the expected arrival! but now my average menstrual cycle is about 32-33 days. what may have caused this change?? is it something to be worried about and talk to a doctor? please help. thanks !!

1 AnswerSingles & Dating5 years agoIrregular periods..?!?
I started my period when I was 12, and for about 3 years, its been exactly on time every single cycle.. every 28 days. It was super regular. I am now 16 years old, almost 17. But all of a sudden, , for the past 5 or 6 months, its been irregular, and coming a LOT later than it has ever been. Its now around 35-40 days every cycle opposed to when it was 28 days each cycle. Its longer now and I don't know why this is happening. I will add that I have been really stressed out and dealing with a bunch of drama and stuff At school and everything, and I run a lot. I eat normal, and I'm not excessively skinny. I'm about 100 labs. I have mental illnesses and brain chemical imbalances, if that info helps at all.... what could be wrong with me? Should I go to the doctor about it? Please help, thanks!

8 AnswersPregnancy5 years agoHow can i look more teenager looking? How to simply look older and less child like?! please help!?
Hi. I'm a 16 year old female. I am having trouble gaining weight and looking more like a mature adult. I am so sick and tired of still looking like a kid. Seriously! Everyone in my grade (sophomore in HS) looks so much older, attractive, and mature. Also everyone TOWERS above me. Literally everyone. I am probably the smallest person in my SCHOOL. Everyone who meets me says i look like im 12. My breasts are too small, i look like an awkward 6th grade girl. :( and i have no curves at all. I am fairly skinny, i am 5 foot and 92 pounds. I just want more than ever to not look "skinny" and "childlike". i want that mature figure. I want to still be skinny but i want some natural curves and bigger, fuller breasts so i look and feel older, more mature, and confident/happy. I just feel like im growing up and i need to start looking like a mature young adult. i am absoltely DONE with being a kid. I cannot stand it when someone says to me, "oh but youll look 20 when your 40! You should be happy about that!" it makes me so upset to the point i cry and start hating myself. I do not care about "when im older". I care about NOW. All i ******* want is to look older!! Am i just a late developer? I feel like ill never look like an adult. I want to be perceived as older. After all, im 16. I should look like a beautiful, confident young woman, not an awkward young kid. How can i look more older? How can i gain more weight/muscle so i can "fill out" and look older? Please help...
5 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style6 years agoHow can i get my life together?! please give helpful advice to get through rough teen years.?
so i am a 16 year old female currently experiencing some hardships in my life. I have some things i have to work on to get my life back together. I'm a "work in progress". But i do have many strengths. I am decently good looking, i do very well in school, i am very thin/fit and athletic. But i just feel like i am not getting the most out of my life. I currently have like one friend, that's it. But she's my best friend. I am currently unemployed, have not gotten my permit yet but i have been vigorously studying for it. I am in no clubs/activities, and i participate in track, but thats not until the spring :( i just feel like i need to start living my life and start doing productive things. I just have a very boring, monotone lifestyle. I go to school, come home, sleep, so forth and so forth. I seriously have no life . I'm a very motivated strong and smart person and believe me, i want to start living SO BAD. But i just don't know what to do? All the kids in my school are really bad and they do drugs/alcohol they just aren't very good kids and they've got nothing going for them. so its out of the question that i start making new friends within my school. but i am not like that. i want to graduate, get into a prestigious four year college, and have an amazing family and live a good healthy happy life. that is all i will ever want. I'm just a teen and i need some advice on how to just get through high school. any advice/stories feel free to share :) tysm <3
4 AnswersPsychology6 years agoShould I have sex?!?
I'm a 16 year old female and I have been thinking about having sex with one of my really good guy friends. We are really close, but we aren't officially dating. we are supportive of each other and we both feel really comfortable with each other. I like him a lot, and I keep having dreams about where him and I have sex. I love him as a friend, he's such a great guy!!! but... I really like him, in a romantic, sexual way. And I can't decide if sex is right for now. I want to have sex because he makes me feel so good like no other guy, & he gives me such amazing, special, happy feelings. he's very attractive. I'm questioning it b/c I don't want to ruin our friendship , or make things weird. Also, I don't wanna risk getting an STD/getting pregnant. I know he can use a condom but I'm so scared it will slip off, break, etc. and I'll get pregnant . I can't get pregnant, my life will be ruined forever. I want to experiment with him and do things with him so bad, I'm so emotionally attached to him that it's like if I don't have sex, I'll feel like I'm missing out and not getting the most out of him.he's mentioned a few times that he was interested in having sex too but not as strongly as me. Btw I'm a virgin and he's never hooked up with a girl before. Also does it hurt your first time? please answer respectfully and truthfully. Is it really worth it? Do you think I should? Pros? Cons? Feel free to share any experiences (if you have any) and give me some advice about this. Thank you!
