Is 15 too young to get breast cancer? It's just that I'm really worried :(…
Anonymous
Unfortunately 15 is not too young to get breast cancer, however unless you have any symptoms (a lump or more on your breasts) you have no reason to worry. If you do have a lump on or near your breasts then talk to your doctor, school nurse or parent about being screened for it. …

ok this might sound stupid but its a real problem to me and i cant really talk about it to anyone. i'm a girl, 18, and i'm a virgin (have "tried" to have sex twice but it hasn't worked i think i was too nervous idk) and i really don't know what to do about it. my bf left me because of it (he didnt give an explanation but it was pretty obvious) and right now i feel like sex is the only thing anyone could ever want me for and i cant even give them that so i just feel worthless.…

I’m 20 and have not had sex. It is up to the individual person as to when they want to experience sex for the first time. There is no rush, either. Just because it seems like all your friends have done it, people in your school have done it, 1) It doesn’t mean they’ve actually done it. Most people actually haven’t. And 2) It is nobody’s business when you have sex and with whom. Especially if you’re nervous, that’s perfectly okay. When you’re ready, you’ll know. If a boyfriend left you because of it, he doesn’t deserve you. Any guy who openly admits that that’s a condition in a relationship and any guy who doesn’t openly admit, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to, and they can walk out of the door then and there if they disagree. He’s not the right guy and that’s all he wants if he leaves over it.  You are so much more than the societal concept of sex. I’m sorry if the people around you don’t give you the attention and care you need. I can personally understand that. But it’s so important and is the greatest lesson when you’re young to remember that it doesn’t matter what other people think, it matters what you think of yourself. Love yourself enough to know that you’re a wonderful, beautiful person, and if nobody sees that but you, it’s their loss and your gain because you have a much higher caring for yourself than they do. You matter, I promise. And when you see that, other people will see it, too.…
i cant stop mutilating my body. i can't stop harming myself, and its getting out of control. i don't just do razor cuts, i legitimately mutilate myself, its disgusting. Im not depressed of anything tho. Today i was at work and i was thinking about what i am going to do in the school holidays, nothing excited me, but when i remembered that when i get home i can cut myself, i got happy, i literally got excited, and the thought of that is frightening . What am I?, what do i do?…

It is a matter of hormons. When we cut, we set a switch on in our brains that makes us feel excited and distressed, and we want to keep on having that feeling. It is really difficult to get it from other means, you should try to go to theraphy. You have an addicition, and you should get treatment before it is too late.…
Hello, i've been trough some problems and i hope you can help me, i'm losing my hopes.I suffered bullying for the past 2 years and i've cutted myself since then. I've stopped sometimes but it's impossible for me to definitly stop.I made a depression test and it said that i have very high levels of major depression and seasonal affective disorder. I don't know what to do.…

Knowing that you’ve taken those test, you should go to a physcologist. It is really difficult to stop, but not impossible. It is a matter of will, and if you have the will, I bet you’ll find a way to quit it, or control it. Think of every good thing you have in your life, and things will get easier. :) But please consider attending a physicologist. …
School makes m feel so fucking stupid. Are we honestly gonna use any of this in real life? I think it's such a waste of time.…

Most of it might not be usable for real life situations, despite that fact you shouldn’t waste your time in the limbo, and try to take some advantage of it. You never know when you could use it. …
So my boyfriend asked me out on valentines day, I know we haven't been dating for very long.. but he left for Cali to go see his dad last night.. We had sex the first time on Saturday, and he cheated on me that night after we had sex; with someone who knew we were dating, she was dating someone, and I thought she was my friend. His aunt likes me and she forced him to tell me he cheated before he left. He called the other girl before he got on the plane last night. I just don't know what to do..…

Dump his butt.  I’m sorry you’ve been hurt in this way, I feel for you and I give you a cyber hug. Accept you’ve been hurt but try to move on, forget him. He’s a jerk who wouldn’t know love if it bit him on the nose. Guys like this will only hurt girls, and you deserve so much more.…
I want to give support to my friends, especially the ones who have to go through a lot, like one who had a suicidal sister and the rest of her family became suicidal, but I don't know how. Like I just say that I'm there if they want to talk, but I don't know what to say or what to do sometimes. What can I do to give them what they need especially because they were there for me?…

If you can see that they’re having a rough day, go to where they live or invite them over, bring ice cream and movies, and hug them.…

I really need help. This guy I was dating for about 2 months just broke up with me. And I'm scared he is going to do something like suicide.. He was always so negative. He talked about having thoughts about killing a lot of people and he said he would like to one day blow up the school he hated the most. I NEED HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. :,(…

Since you only dated for 2 months, you may not be that close with his family or friends, but even if you aren’t, if you can I would suggest to reach out to them and tell them what he’s said or thought. If you go to the same school, you could tell a counselor and they might be able to contact his family. Anybody, especially an adult, that’s connected to him, if you can contact them, I would say that would be a first step. …
My girlfriend and I are going through a weird patch. She misses flirting with other girls and I just want her to be happy. It's breaking my heart and I have no clue what to do. I just need advice.…
Anonymous
She might not be happy in the relationship anymore, which would give you a need to have a talk with each other, maybe discuss where each of your feelings are at. Sometimes I think it’s necessary, especially when a rough patch occurs, to actually sit down and talk about what page each person’s on. It saves time for each if it’s something that’s run its course. That may not be the case at all, of course, but I think honest, deep conversations are the best for this type of problem in relationships.…
So this new guy moved to my school this year, and he is so nice, he's good looking, and we've been talking recently because he catches my bus and train. On Monday he said I was pretty and usually smiles at me when we pass each other. Should I take this as a sign and make a move? Or wait for him too make the first real move?…
Anonymous
It definitely sounds like he likes you. The “who should make the first move” is always tricky, in my opinion. I don’t believe that it has to be the guy, but for me, it’s always nice because it’s a way to really know they want you. But some guys are shy, so I wouldn’t give you that advice.  I would say you could suggest for you guys to get coffee or lunch sometime, something simple. Or just give him your number if you haven’t already. That’s always a small thing for a girl to do that allows the guy to make the “real” move by calling and making the first date.…
so this is kinda confusing but basicly im dating this guy and we were really good friends before we dated, we were in band together but yeah we're dating now and i dont really think i want to date him anymore.. i like our relationship better as friends? i do have feelings for this other guy though.. im not sure how to tell my bf that i wanna be just friends. let him down easy? thanks :)…

Just have an honest conversation with him. More often than not we overcomplicate and overthink situations like this, mostly because it’s a discussion we don’t want to have, but alas it must happen.  Just tell him the truth, that’s all you can do. You owe that to each other.…
How do you get over someone who have had a crush on for almost four years?…
Anonymous
Even though it’s something you won’t want to hear, the best thing is to realize that if they wanted you, they would already have you. Don’t settle for less than you deserve, and believe that anybody who doesn’t want you the first time they see you, you don’t want them. Stay positive and wait for the right one. I’m sorry for the clichés, but there’s a lot of truth to them, I promise.…
About a year ago I broke up with my boyfriend because my parents forced me to. They hated him but I thought he was a good guy. Now, a couple days ago my mom finally apologized for the whole thing. Lately I've been thinking about him alot; and, I was thinking about writing hi,. However, when I looked at his tumblr (he hardly uses anymore) he used to claim that I was a stalker. I have no idea why.. He also made a song called my lost love, so.. I know he probably hates me, I don't know what to do.…

Before you give up on him, you should at least try writing him. Yes, it’s possible he has moved on, but you don’t know that for sure and not finding out from him will leave you without closure that you need to move on yourself. If he was truly a good guy then he would understand what happened and if he held something against you, he’ll be able to put it behind him. The things he said are most likely things said in the heat of the break up and don’t reflect his true feelings or intentions, just his anger and upset. …
