Puberty. Sex. Life ?, for girls Options

[ohnoez]

what about the girls who have really bad cramps?

they need some advice as well.

here it is:
see a doctor immediately. if your cramps are bad enough to the point where you feel nauseous, see a physician. you might have ovarian cysts or the like. they'll prescribe you birth control or some other form of it to ease the pain and to regulate your period.

the only reason i know that is because i had a friend with that problem and they put her on birth control.

so. kthxvrymuch.

I heard that when you swim... or when you're in the shower, your period stops. I don't really believe it, but I do notice that blood doesn't flow freely when I shower. I dunno.. watch the drain when you shower next time you have your period. Maybe it's just me.

[enyceXaddiction]

great advice.

[Satomi]

um.. good info.. some scary stuff there though..

[JacksonLovejazz]

yeaaaaaa

[JacksonLovejazz]

hi nikka

[islandkiss]

I really needed that. ^^

[sunkissedchic15]

Ok, i have to agree that this was helpful

[gingerxsweet]

wow this is veery informative. i wanna say thank you for the vaginal discharge explanation. i've been having it everyday since FOREVER and since i thought cum was only when your having sex or w/e i was too embarrassed to ask anybody about it. i didnt want my mom to think i was sexual or masterbating!

as for the sex thing, since everybody is so interested, the first time is usually painful and you might bleed. the pain varies though, it can either just be a little sting, or it can be like having a finger chopped off. i dont know why actually, but im guessing because the penis is penetrating the hymen, which is some sort of skin/layer thing that protects your vagina. some girls dont even have hymens anymore, maybe because your born that way, or if your athletic, or if you've been in an accident. this might have to do with the amount of pain you experience...

dont worry! if your first time is with a guy you love and trust (and he should be!!) then you should be able to communicate with each other, so you can tell him to go slow, or not as hard, etc.

after 2-3 times, its all pleasure! (woopee!) why else would people enjoy having it? and have orgasms? dont worries girls, it only hurts the first time.

It's really great that you posted this. People should really consider reading this before asking the obvious. [;

Menstruation?
wtf is menstruation?
Menstruation is your period.. duhh.
Your period is basically, you going into your "womanhood."
Yeah, you'll get boobies. Haha.

Dont you get your chest first and then after 2 years you get your period?thats what i say in our "development Tape" at school

[nosuntoday]

*edited to match the FAQs in the boy's lockeroom.
Okay, Let's clear things up.

Please add to this if you have anything to add to it, whether it be comments, questions, or more answers.

----

pu·ber·ty (pybr-t)

n.
The stage of adolescence in which an individual becomes physiologically capable of sexual reproduction.

What are signs of puberty?
At the age of as early as 9 to as old as 17, you'll go through changes. ( Obviously )
[*]You'll notice that you have pubic hair (pubes) down there.

• With most girls, they'll have vaginal discharge (cum) -- dont fret if it's yellow or clear or white. That's normal. Haha.

Notice I said "most," (that doesn't mean all girls will.) Some girls would just get their period and have vaginal discharge afterwards. "Usually" girls will develop vaginal discharge 1-3 years before they get their period.

Har har har.

OMGZ I LYK JUST GOT FREAKISHLY TALL!
Chill out. It's just a growth spurt. Some girls will grow 3, 4, 5+ in. taller, and sometimes you'll experience growing pains. If that's the matter, then you have to go to your mom or whatever and get some tylenol and wrap up whatever bones are aching, such as your knees. In my observations, i've noticed that most growing pains occur in the knees.

OMG I AM SO FAT. I JUST GAINED blahblah POUNDS!
Yeah and? You're growing up, you're gonna eat more. Plus, your period makes you eat more.

Either way, you probably will grow somehow whether it be height, weight, whatever.[/size]

Menstruation?
wtf is menstruation?
Menstruation is your period.. duhh.
Your period is basically, you going into your "womanhood."
Yeah, you'll get boobies. Haha.

What happens to you when you get your period?
Some things would include :

• Cramps. Some girls have it bad, others won't ;
  What are cramps? Cramps are those pains you get on your lower belly, or lower back. It's basically stating that your body is exercising it's birth muscles. The more pain you feel during cramps.. probably the harder it'll be during birth. Heh.

Ways to ignore, or weaken the pain of cramps ;

• Breathing Exercises. Count to 8. Inhale. Exhale
  
• Think happy thoughts.
  
• Exercise. You may think that your period makes you incapable of being active, and athletic, but you never know. It might give you an extra boost  . In fact, running helps quite a few people get over cramps.
  
• Take midol and rest.

and for those of you that are worried because you are 14 or 15 and haven't had your period yet...DON'T WORRY! nothing's wrong. some girls have it late...some girls have it early. it just varies. so...stop worrying!
PMS PreMenstrual Syndrome/Stress ( correct ?) Some girls have it. Others dont.
Yeah isn't that weird how it's "pre," meaning before? Hehe.
Sometimes PMS comes, before, sometimes during, sometimes after, sometimes not at all, sometimes throughout the whole process. Its really funky sometimes.

Ways to deal with your PMS;

• Breathing Exercise when you're pissed.
  
• Try to keep calm, and be optimistic no matter what. Even if you feel like you're depressed. The happier you are. The least chance of PMS. Plus, if you always look on the brighter side, you're period will last for a shorter amount of time. && you won't be called a bitch  .
  
• Ignore anything and anyone that irks your arse off. If someone is taunting you, bugging you, bitching at you. Ignore them. And put a smile on. Sounds hard, seems hard, I know. But it's kind of worth it. Esp. if the anyone is your parents  .

More Symptoms That Might Occur..
Excessive Eating Habits - Either before, after, or during, you`ll experience some weird eating habits. You'll either WANT FOOD SO BADLY. Or feel like you're not hungry at all, or you just can't stop eating. Hunger pains, hunger callings, whatever you want to call it. Just eat. Don't go all anorexic. & eat healthy. Don't pig out on all that greasy food. Hehe.
&&Most girls crave chocolate, or something sour  .
(If you're odd, like me, you'll gain 5 pounds, and end up losing it when you're periods over. )
-Breaking Out - Yes. Sadly, some girls who never break out. Or girls that do break out. End up.. Breaking out. Waka waka. Just sleep well, and hopefully it'll go away.
-Smell - Oh dear God. 
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE YOUR SHOWERS
Some girls contract a bad b.o. during their periods. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
If you're young, and haven't started using deodarant. Start using it. 
* & remember, if you catch a stanky whiff of yourself, everyone around you has been smelling it for the past 10 minutes or so.

Some ways to take care of your body.

• Do not be a lazy oaf. Get up an exercise. Being lazy won't help at all.
  
• Eat healthily. Some chocolate, and junk/fast food is okay occasionally. Just not all the time
  
• ALWAYS SHOWER & Use deodarant, but it'd be a good idea not to use deodarant at night, because deodorant makes your armpits darken. I suggest that you take a shower, in which you wash your hair at night, then in the morning take a shower -- without wetting your hair, then apply deodorant.
  
• Carry extra pads. and change your pad. Unless you use tamps, then you carry extra and change accordingly.

Bras
I'm too shy to ask my mom about bras.. and its so embarassing to ask the sales lady. 
Never fear, you have the Sizing Calculator here! *You'll need to know how to use a tape measurer. Please don't use a ruler, or one of those measurers that you're dad uses.

Wearing Bras to Sleep..
Supposedly, wearing bras to sleep gives you the chance of getting breast cancer (yeah what doesn't?). However, wearing bras to sleep will ENSURE the great risk of you getting veins on your boobies when you get older. (And crossing your legs will pop veins giving you ugly legs when your older, too.)


PUBES
Hah, the neverending question of pubes
You can trim, wax, shave whatever.
  *if you shave.. i think you're supposed to shave towards the hair, not against it. I guess. and if you shave the wrong way. Don't freak out if you get all these red bumps. It's not herpes. Just skin irritation. Use aloe vera.

Facial Hair
Omg.. I think I have a mustache. / UNIBROW O.O
Yeah yeah, it's facial hair sweetie. Everyone's got some whiskers, just some girls have it darker/more than others. But one thing's for sure. DONT SHAVE IT OFF. some girls shave it off/wax it off/tweez it off, or get that nair stuff. Don't. It'll just grow back more embarassing than before. If you are REALLY embarrased by it. There's this sally hansen lip bleaching stuff called Creme Hair Bleach For Face that you can get at a local drugstore, like Sav-on, Osco, etc. Not so sure if it works or not.
But if you must insist on something else. Ask Sally

HOLY SH*T I JUST GOT MY PERIOD WHAT DO I DO?!

• Wash up.
  
• Tell your Mom.
  
• CHANGE UNDERWEAR
  
• Put on a pad.
  
• By all means, Stay calm.

Breast Cancer


I'm *insert age here,* and I haven't gotten my period yet 
Don't worry about it, you'll get your period soon enough. In fact, the longer you do without your period, the better. More time of childhood. No bitching. No having to wait till it's done to go swimming. No dealing with pads or tampons.

I just got my period... It's really whack.
I'll have it for 3 days. The next time I'll have it for 10
Deal with it. You're period won't be normal for another 1 - 3 years -- in other words, just like you, you're period develops as well. Meaning, you won't have your period like the average 3-5 days and such, until your period has accustomed itself to your body. Most of the time, your so-called "final" period time, is the time it elapsed during the first few months or so, when you first got your period. Kind of confusing isn't it?

I'm so young. And i have my period. Nobody else in my class has it. I don't want anyone to think I'm weird.. What do I do?
It's okay. Don't be ashamed of your period. Just act normal. You're still the same person.

OH SHIT MY PERIOD BLED THROUGH 
AHHH OMG. My period missed the pad ! ( Yes that's possible. That's why it's more convienient to wear longer sized pads. *Just make sure it doesnt stick out from ur undies* Sometimes it better to wear a bigger pad. Most girls are ashamed of wearing big pads, and try wearing smaller ones. Don't be ashamed. )
In a situation where you bled through. Go to CODE RED. Hit the bathroom stalls. Change your pad. & tie a sweatshirt around your waist. Don't have a sweatshirt? Simple. Find a pack of ketchup. Stick it in your pocket. If someone asks what happened. Say you say on ketchup & if they ask anymore. Pull out the ketchup.

If that doesnt work. Just go to the nurse's office.
OR if you want to be cautious. Carry around an extra pair of pants with you in your backpack. Hehe.

sex  (sks/secks)

n.

1. The property or quality by which organisms are classified as female or male on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions.
2. Either of the two divisions, designated female and male, of this classification.
3. Females or males considered as a group.
4. The condition or character of being female or male; the physiological, functional, and psychological differences that distinguish the female and the male. 
5. The sexual urge or instinct as it manifests itself in behavior.
6. Sexual intercourse. 

I am still a virgin so I can't answer what it is like to have sex. 

But, this is just my opinion of sex...

If you're going to have sex. DON'T BE PRESSURED INTO IT.
& Always use protection.

However.. I discourage the practice of any kind of sex under the age of 17.
Yeah sure you're curious. But at least wait it out till you're 17.
& Even if you can't control your hormones. Wait till you're at least 15 to do any kind of sexual relations. ie. oral sex, etc.

Does it hurt when you have sex?
-It depends on the girl. Some say it hurts like hell, others not at all. For me-it barely hurt, I was sore the day after. Also, USE PROTECTION. Condoms are your best friend if you are sexually active, esp. if you're not on birth control.

Misc..

Yeah, even though this is the girl's lockerroom.
Some girls might be precautious, and might carry a condom around.
Keeping condoms in wallets will deactivate the condom because of the heat it contracts. There's a topic in the boys lockerroom somewhere that elaborates more on this.

Masterbation
Yeah masterbation is a sin. But if you aren't of a Catholic, Christian, or whatever faith, you can pursue whatever fantasy you want.

According to my faith, Masterbation is a sin. Why? Because "in a way" it's considered, sex to one self. Spiritually, I suppose you're no longer a virgin because you had "sex to one self" before marriage, meaning you also sinned. However, physically you're probably still a virgin.. unless you broke your cherry  .

And yes, handjobs, blowjobs, fingerbangs, etc. etc. are all forms of SEX.

Yet again, there's a topic about this that elaborates more in the boys locker room, and if you disagree about what i put on masterbation, whether it being a sin or not. There should be a topic about it in debate, i think.

Hah, yeah, I was bored.

*IF THIS STILL AINT HELPFUL you could try beinggirl.com. Haha, I remember going there when I first got my period.. like 2-3 years ago -__-

really interesting.

[weirdness]

I heard one way to deal with PMS is to drink milk, because of the calcium.

[0hgeez x]

nice topic.
