You're not alone!

Right my lovely

♦ It sounds obvious, but try to relax!
♦ Put your arms around the person you’re going to kiss.
♦ When you join lips, keep them slightly parted and press gently.
♦ Tilt your head slightly to one side, so your noses won’t get in the way.
♦ Don’t slip your tongue in straight away, just gently touch mouth to mouth.
♦ Then, if you want to try a tongue tango, slowly put your tongue in their mouth.
♦ Move your tongue around with theirs but like a tickle not a twister!
♦ Remember there is no right or wrong – it’s just a case of practice makes perfect!

You poor thing, that’s tough! I think one thing we need to recognise is that your Mum is going to go out with this guy whether you like him or not and you’re going to have to find a way to cope with that. However, I would suggest that you talk to your Mum about how you feel you don’t get time with her anymore. Maybe avoid the subject of the boyfriend as it might just wind her up, but tell her you miss be able to talk with her and ask if you and she could set aside some regular time just to do something or be together. If you really can’t get through to her, is there another member of the family you could explain how you’re feeling to – an auntie perhaps? Ultimately the only way this situation can improve is by communicating so give it another bash and see how you get on? Good luck! xxx

eally pleased you’ve got in touch, as this is a question that is coming up more and more often. The online world often feels safer than every day life, and lots of people do or say things on Skype, MSN or Facebook that they wouldn’t do if they were face to face with someone. It might feel very exciting, but it’s worth thinking about the risks involved too, and whether you would do this in any other situation. Although you’ve met this boy in real life, it’s impossible for us to know what his motives are - and what he would do with any pictures of you once he had them. For a minute, imagine there was no internet - would you meet up with this guy and give him some naked pictures of yourself? If the answer is ‘no’, then don’t even think about it! Some people say you should never send a picture, or put one online that you wouldn’t want your parents or family to see. Personally I think this is a bit much - but once you click and send, there is no getting a picture back - and no way of knowing who else will see it. It might be that this guy is really into you, and wouldn’t dream of showing your picture to all his mates, or putting it on Facebook or another website - but plenty of people have had similar experiences - at best it can be really hurtful and embarrassing, and at worst it can leave you open to bullying and blackmail. And we don’t want anything bad D: xxx

Hey hun:) 

Try not to worry too much, it can be a real shock for a parent when they find out their daughter or son has become sexually active, and it can take a while for them to get used to the fact that they are growing up. Your message tells me two things - firstly that you were very mature in discussing this with your parents first and, secondly, that you’re obviously serious about your sexual health, and avoiding unplanned pregnancy. You done the right thing sweetie! Goodluck xx

Hey Dani:) right, as teenagers we have so much anxiety inside us, we tend to over think, you’re probably worried about him not loving you anymore, which seeing as he’s not talking to his friends either, might not be the case, he could be really worried about something in his homelike ect, I would just give him a cute message and tell him, you’re always here for him if needed, then give him some space to sort his head out! limit contacting or bugging him first unless he contacts you, but yeah it’s hard but just limit contact a while, then pop up on fb or something or here, and tell me a week later any changes, best luck gorgeous! xx

hey sweety:) I’ve been told most boys like it with no hair, I also feel like cleaner or whatever, waxing, it gets rid of the hairs for about 3 weeks, and leaves it really smooth, although it could be tricks as hair down there grows in all different directions, so you often get stray hairs, I usually just shave, hair grows back in like two days, and can be itchy the first few times:) and thankyou for that, it’s lovely too hear i’m doing a good job, I do worry about you guys:) Have a lovely day hun! xxx

You need to explain to him, if you wanted a girlfriend, It’s all I wanted, he may of flirted with that girl to make you jealous? You can’t just wait for things to happen, do something bout it, good look lovely :)

I’m sure you’ve told your therapist and parents you don’t have a drink problem, it’s only because people care about you, he’s probs worried, you may turn to drink as an answer to handle your depression.

but atleast you’re ready to get out there, fuck that anxiety and let your happy you come out? Remember a time when you was happy with yourself? It’s still there, and it’s gunna come back, get yourself into a routine, try a new style, a new hair cut/colour, a new club, new friends, a new you, to make you feel fresh and ready to start over ok beautiful?
