You are right on this one. Most likely his bedwetting is being triggered by stress in his life. Try to be understanding and not fuss at him or get angry with him. Praise him for all the things he does right, limit his drinks before bed, remind him to go to the bathroom just before bed. If you are awake in the middle of the night, you can even wake him up to use the restroom. But only if you happen to be up. Just continue loving him and if he is willing to talk about his feelings, always hear him out. He should outgrow it but as his stress tapers off, or he learns to manage the stress better, the bedwetting should start to taper off as well and become less frequent. Good luck and I applaud you as well for caring for him. =D>

Very sad! But a beautiful poem.

It's very tricky to say an exact appropriate age number. I would say since you are 16, not to go with anyone over 18. That is illegal and in some cases, even of it's consensual, it just gets too tricky. If you meet someone and it just kind of happens, well then it's different. You can make that decision if it happens but don't go out seeking much older guys until you are legal. As for the younger, well I would try to keep that within a couple years as well. Especially since you are so young. You go much younger and you are gonna get someone too immature for you. But once you are an adult, you have a little more room to date a different range of ages. Hope thathelped give you some prespective.

Yea, it happens all the time. I'm a bartender and I get it from guys of all ages. Sometimes it can be taken as a compliment, a sign that people find you attractive, but mostly it's just annoying. But remember if it's becoming harassive, you do not have to take it. And you can't really control what strangers do but if this is a friend or someone you know, you can certainly tell them how you feel and that you want it to stop.

Really liked this one as well. I'm new to the forum but I've been reading in the poetry for a long time now. There is some real talent here. makes me feel inspired. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent poem. I loved it, very well written. My favorite line is "Would you come and hold me catch my tears before they hit the ground? " Doesn't everyone want someone who would do that, feel that way about them? I know I do. Thanks for sharing!

It's a fantastic poem. Keep writing, I'd love to read more.

I enjoyed the poem, writing can be a great release when you're depressed or mad or whatever you're feeling. You should try it more often. Thanks for sharing. I like it.

Were you on birth control before? If so, how long have you been off of it? Do either of you smoke?

To add my own explanation, I know you've heard the terms "A woman's cycle". Well basically from beginning to end: the egg is released from the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tubes during ovulation. If it is fertilized, you get a baby in the womb. During the cycle, the body also starts producing a uterine lining for the baby. If it is not fertilized, the uterine lining and everything is shed during the period. (No that period is not 100% blood or all female would bleed to death! LOL!) So the whole cycle is all about the body getting ready for a baby. I applaud you for trying to learn more about the female body.

My friend is in the same situation. She is 34 and never thought about having children but now she is married and whenever she sees a baby, i guess that biological clock starts ticking. LOL! She wants a child and has recently talked to a doctor and there are some risks but for the most part, if you are healthy, you should do just fine. It may take a little longer to get pregnant, particularly if you've been on birth control a long time, and depending on the type of birth control. Also if you are a smoker, your risks are high. The doctor suggested she go on prenatal vitamins as soon as she decided to start trying to get pregnant. Best of luck to you!

First off, I love that quote from Thirteen. that was an excellent movie. N E way, about your problem, I have gay friends, male and female and I have bisexual friends. A lot of my gay friends are in their 20's and their parents are still not accepting. The only advice I can give you is to try to be mature. Understand that if you're underage, your mom still has the right to tell you what to do. But she can't tell you what to think and you can still have your friends. Everyone fights with their parents over sex, whether they are gay or bi or not, so that part is just normal. It's good you are open-minded and accepting of your friends but you have to use that same acceptance on your mom and realize that you can't make her change the way she is any more than she can make you change the way you are. Good luck, stay strong!

I agree with other posters. Many women, especially teenaged girls, expereiment with sexuality and often are attracted to other girls. This does not mean you are bi or gay. But it is important to know how you felt about the kiss. If you think she is attracted to you and that's why she initiated the kiss, treat it the same way you would a male friend that did the same thing. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, let her know gently without hurting her feelings. But if it was something you enjoyed and felt comfortable with, there is nothing wrong with that either. You still have time to explore your sexuality and grow. You don't have to figure out what you are, just be who you are. You know what I mean?

As others have mentioned before, make sure you are truly prepared mentally and try to relax. But many women have problems with this, even non-virgins. My guess is that you need to be aroused more. Spend more time on foreplay. Your bf needs to spend more time getting you heated up, some women take longer than others physically, even if they are mentally ready. When you get ready, your body will respond on its own by loosening and by lubricating itself.

I'm not going to comment on whether it is or is not okay to have oral sex but it is true you can get STD's from oral sex so use a condom. Condoms do not have to be a mood killer. Learn how to put one on with your mouth and I promise your guy will let you use it. LOL! But ladies, please be safe and careful with who you're with.
