Hello everyone. I am 17 and met my girlfriend about a month ago. We hit it of really well from the get go, however about 2 weeks in I found out I had to move away to a city about an hour's drive away. We organised for me to come down and stay with her for a few days then she would come and stay at my house for a few days without my parents home. We were both immensely excited and talked on the phone multiple times about it. Everything went great until we got to my house. My girlfriend has multiple mental health issues as well as painful stomach cramps for which she takes medication. She forgot to take medication with her and therefore she was suffering from bad stomach cramps most of the time. This caused her to become really lethargic and unresponsive and she just sat around on the couch on her phone all the time. This eventually got to me and I got a bit upset and grumpy myself. It really soured the mood between us and we drove back to her house in silence for over an hour. The next day I was driving home and she texted me to drive home safely. I said I would and asked how she felt and she didnt reply. It is the next day and I am wondering if I should text her or not. I really want to make sure everything is okay between us. I still love her just as much as I did before and want to talk to her but I feel like it might be good to let her contact me. What do you think? - Thanks in advance

I am a 17 year old boy. About 3 weeks ago I met this girl at a party. We hit it off and just days later we were 'dating'. She did inform me that she has been with a ton of guys despite being the same age as me. I have only had one girlfriend before and we never went far. She was concerned that I might be upset about the fact that she has had sex many times before. This wasn't a concern for me at the time when I said it. Unfortunately I had to move away to a city about an hours drive away. This was a week ago, since then we decided to plan a trip. I was going to come down and stay with her for a week. This night she told me she was going to a party. She said I didn't need to worry about her cheating on me because she "hates" cheating. I texted her this morning and she didn't reply, I texted her again in the afternoon and she didn't reply. An hour ago she texted me with some nonsensical message and she is clearly drunk. I am supposed to drive down to see her tomorrow and wanted to confirm some details but she is drunk and is not replying to any of my serious questions. I am so pissed off. I dont want to drive down and then get a message saying something like "Sorry I feel really sick" or some bullshit like that. To add to the problem now I am starting to freak out about her getting with some other guys at this party. Please help me, I really dont know what to do! P.S I get anxiety sometimes and it causes me to exaggerate, which I fear I may be doing.

So I am 17 and have been masturbating for 5+ years now. Although I cant really remember, I believe when I first started it would take me about 10-20 seconds to orgasm. I recently got a girlfriend and a week ago we had sex. She is quite experienced and has had sex lots of times whereas I was a virgin. She got onto me and rode me cowgirl and I busted in about 10 seconds. This was immensely embarrassing for me since I can normally last 30mins-hour masturbating. I came and she kept riding me although I lost my erection and told her I already came. She told me it was fine but I felt really embarrassed and i'm sure it wasn't enjoyable for her. My question is this normal? What should I do? I don't even understand why this happened and I wish I could have lasted way longer. Any advice is welcome! Thanks

I recently signed up for a 4 day open water diving license. I have been looking forward to it for some time but now it is only a few days till I start and I am having regrets. I keep thinking about shark attacks and great white sharks and now I am scared and wish I hadn't signed up for the course. I live on the sunshine Coast in Queensland and the dive site we are going to is called the Mooloolaba Coral Reefs. God damn I am stupid for having done this.

Hello all! I am a 17 year old male. Recently I met this girl, we have made out multiple times and we almost had sex but didn't because there was nowhere private enough at the time. We haven't known each other for long but have both confessed that we like each other a lot. I suppose you could say this means we are now dating and she is my girlfriend, we will at least use that term for simplicity. After confessing our love for each other she has gone on holidays overseas for 2 weeks (it has now been 4 days). Normally I have no problem getting off to porn on the internet, however after meeting this girl I am finding that none of this porn interests me at all. I haven't masturbated since I last saw her and we were so close to having intercourse. What I need to know is, would it be okay for me to ask her for nude pictures? Would this be considered rude and un-gentlemanly? I dont want to seem like an asshole and im not really sure if she would mind or not but I certainly dont want to jeopardize any feeling she has for me by being so brash. Thanks in advance for any answers. To clarify she is an adventurous somewhat out there type of girl but she is also intelligent and is a deep thinker.

Hello! I am a 17 year old male from Australia and I have just finished High School. About 2 months ago I fell deeply in love with a girl who I met at school. We met in the library and she was not in any of my classes. We talked for about a week during lunch breaks and eventually I garnered the courage to ask her out for lunch. She agreed and everything went well (at least I thought so). The next week I asked her out again but this time she replied by saying she would like to hang out but only as friends. I was very upset about being friend zoned because I was so obsessed with her. We did hang out and I had a good time once again. When I got home I decided that I should try and avoid her as much as possible since I liked her as much more than a friend and she didn't feel the same way and I figured this would save me the most heartache. Over the last 2 months I have avoided texting her and she has texted me a few times. Now that school is over she is asking if I want to do things with her. I am trying to avoid her and not answer as much as possible although this is really hard since I still like her so much. I dont know what to do. Please help with some advice.

I am in 12th grade at high school (final year in Australia) and will be finishing in about 3 weeks time. Throughout year 11 and 12 I have studied

- Maths B

- Chemistry

- Physics

And other non-relevant subjects. I am currently on an A for maths B, a very high B for physics and a B in chemistry. I have a predicted OP of 3-6 and have applied for engineering at University of Queensland. I am quite sure I will get in but I am starting to panic about if I will be prepared for it. I will have to do a maths course because I did not study maths C at school. Please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hi. I am 17 and in my final year of highschool. I have been a pretty normal boy for most of my life. Recently I have been falling in love with girls really really frequently, this cant be normal. Like I even fell in love with my cousin and I felt really depressed for days just thinking about her. I also recently fell in love with a girl in my class I have known for ages and it just randomly happened. I couldn't stop thinking about her and she rejected me which caused me to feel even more depressed. The only thing that ended that depression was, you guessed it, I fell in love with another girl. This one I met online and I hardly even know her! She friendzoned me hard I have been obsessing over her for weeks now. I cant get her out of my mind no matter how hard I try and it is making me feel seriously depressed and ****. I want to forget about her, I dont think she is worth my time at all, but I just cant.

Hi all. Basically I have had acne since I was about 15, I am now 17. About 4 months ago my mum took me to a naturopath. The naturopath seemed very good and she recommend me a new diet, fish oil tablets and zinc tablets. I started following the advice and within weeks I noticed improvements. Since then there have been high's and lows but overall there has been significant improvement. This all stopped over the last few weeks and I have been getting heaps more pimples in places which have been mostly unaffected! I thought my acne had gone. I thought long and hard and finally realized the only thing I have changed is I have stopped taking the zinc tablets (my zinc tablets ran out and I figured I wouldn't need anymore since I had completed 2 small bottles). Could this be the reason my acne has returned? I am going to buy some more zinc tablets tomorrow and I seriously hope it is! I have school graduation in 2 months!

Hi! I have been talking to this girl I met at school for about 2 weeks now. We are in the same grade at school (Year 12 at highschool). I have no classes with her but we met at lunch and I got her number. Since I hardly see her at school almost all of our conversations have been via texting. Anyway a couple of days ago I mustered the courage to ask her to meet up. We got some lunch at a restaurant and then went home. I felt it went really well, there was not much awkward silence and we talked about a lot of stuff. Throughout this period I have felt a very strong attraction towards her, this always happens to me. I get really depressed thinking about her and very happy every time I talk to her. Anyway, today I texted her and asked if she would like to see a movie. She basically said yes but then said that she would only come If I told her I didn't like her as anything more than a friend. This was very shocking for me. I guess she never did like me as anything more, although to be honest she hardly knows me. What should I do? I don't know if I could be friends with her even though I think she is a really awesome person. Should I just cease contact? This seems silly to me but it could avoid further pain. I am just really lost, confused and depressed. I guess you could call this teenage hormones but I genuinely feel depressed now. Please help.

Basically I have been talking with this girl online for over a week. I felt really good talking to her and asked if we could meet up a few days ago. We walked around and got some food. There were hardly any awkward moments and I felt like it went really well. Anyway she was meant to be really busy over the weekend. I did text her but she didn't respond at all until Monday. This really concerned me (I am prone to excessive worrying about things like this I understand she was busy). Anyway she told me it all went well and I said some like "Ok thats good to know". She didn't respond to this at all. I waited because I felt like it was her turn to initiate the a conversation more but she never did. I want to ask her out again but id like to have another good conversation first not just randomly ask. Am I freaking out unnecessarily? Could she just not like me after meeting me? I am pretty inexperienced with relationships and frankly have no idea what to do.

Hi everyone! Basically I met this girl over Facebook a few weeks ago. She is a few years older than me but I thought she seemed really cool and attractive so I messaged her and we started talking. We talked over FB for a few days regarding all sorts of stuff. I was really beginning to like her and I asked if she wanted to meet up a few days ago. Basically this was like a first date I suppose, we got some food and walked around then I drove her home. It seemed like it went well (Although I dont have much experience with dates and she probably does) we talked about lots and there wasn't much awkwardness at all. When she got home she texted me straight away and we talked about some stuff (activities I planned to do after school etc.) Then I texted her later than night and she didn't respond. I texted her the next day and she didnt respond. Now it is the day after and still no response. I know she was meant to be very busy this weekend but too busy to simply reply to a text? I know I would have replied regardless of how busy I was lol. Anyway thanks for anyone who can help at all.
