do periods hurt

Show Answer

For some there can be a little discomfort as blood is released, but for most no pain is noticed at all.

Hi Vicki. I have a friend , lets call her G, and she is always teasing me, being mean and if she ever has insults they are always at me, usuallly when Im trying to help. I give all my friends 3 strikes before I cut them out and shes had 2. G was complaining about seating on the bus as she didnt want to sit somewhere and stuff and I said just sit there L (her best friend) gets off at the first stop anyway its only like half an hour. She kept complaining and telling me to shut up so I just ignored her. What can I do because her always insulting me is really upsetting and she doesnt seem to know how far is too far. I dont mind a bit of teasing but hers is persistent and never stops. It is also Ls birthday party in like a week so I dont want to bring this up with G in case it creates tension and ruibs things for L. But I cant just ignore it. We are also in a big friendship group about 8 of us and I feel like if we just started ignoring each other or there was beef between us it would hurt everyone else and I dont want to make anyone upset I just cant pretend like the insults dont hurt anymore. I have snapped twice and shes treading on thin ice so I dont want to do something Ill regret. Thanks Vicki Im sure u can help , from Tilly

Show Answer

Hi Tilly, wait until after the party and then have a quiet word with G letting her know that you find her comments hurtful and disrespectful and as much as you want to be good friends, her behaviour is making this a challenge. Chances are she does not realise she is being unkind and will stop once you have mentioned it. Puberty you see is tough for many teens.

What age do you recommend underwire bra for? I am 12 with quite small boobs but i wear one sometimes to give the more shape

Show Answer

Hi, personally I feel under wired bras are good for cups C and above and only then if they fit perfectly with the wires sitting flat against the body and nowhere near actual breast tissue.

Hi Vicki I sleep with underwear on as I have heavy discharge and it is quite random but recently I have noticed red lines dry itchy skin and marks where my underwear sits. Its quite painful and makes it hard to shave, stretch my legs a lot and stuff . Any advice?

Show Answer

Hi, it really is a personal choice if you wear underwear to bed or not. If you find it makes you feel fresher and clean then carry on, possibly using softer larger styled underwear may help and moisturising the area before going to bed. But if you wear pj's or a nightie, you may not need to use pants at all.

Hi! Um my pubic hair is getting quite long and bushy but I dont really want to shave down there like I do on my legs. Is it ok to cut it with scissors? And does hair down there stop growing when youre not in puberty anymore? Thanks E xxx

Show Answer

Hi, I highly recommend trimming back pubic hair rather than total removal if it's getting unruly. My tip is to use a wide toothed comb and lay it flat against the pubic area, then with rounded tipped scissors trim any hairs that poke out through the comb. 

Pubic hair, just like any hair on the body does continue to grow, but just like hair everywhere else it will have a life cycle and shed old hair to make way for new. So don't worry it will never grow as long as hair on the head.

Idk why but Im really uncomfortable around boys, more so boys that I dont know than boys that are in my class. I lesbian btw. Ps how to I get to know my crush better, like talk to her more and stuff

Show Answer

Hi, my tip would be to stop thinking of boys as one gender and instead just think of them as the same as all your female friends new and current, and speak to them in the same way, joking, sharing chats...etc. This hopefully will take away some of the fear or chatting to them. As for your crush, be yourself, get included in group chats that she is part of and see how that goes, there really is no rush to share how you feel with your crush, just take your time and see what happens naturally.

This is a really embarrassing question as I shower or have a bath on a daily basis in terms of keeping "down there" clean. But when we have the radiator on in the evening sometimes that can make me sweat which I thought might be what is causing this but basically for the past few days my "down there" area has been very sore, tender and the area looked really red when I went to the toilet earlier. I've read this can be a sign of a UTI or yeast infection however at the moment my discharge is a pale/clear/its normal colour and at the moment I can urinate without it causing a burning sensation etc. if I'm honest I haven't nesescarily been doing the right things to try and ease the soreness as for the past couple of days I have a lot of anxiety around going to the GP or any medical based environment and I'm not really sure how best to proceed with this thing. Thanks

Show Answer

Hi, firstly switch to lose clothing and avoid using anything but water when washing this area. In fact if you can just sit in the bath with no water this should be enough to cleanse the area without rubbing. Drink lots of water to flush out any toxins and to help with the irritation purchase some Canesten cream and apply a thin layer day and night. See how this goes and if no improvement is noticed consider speaking to your doctor over the phone.

I think i have misophonia because when my mum sneezes or blows her nose i get really annoyed and tearful

Show Answer

Hi, if this only happens when your mum does these things, it may simply be frustration and because you are so close. (it happens in many households)  If however this happens when you are around anyone, then it should be discussed with your mum as only a medical professional can diagnose Misophonia.

hiya vicki do you know how many questions the same person has sent

Show Answer

No, I have no way of knowing how many questions anyone sends me, sometimes I can guess by the grammar used or the name they give, and that's absolutely fine, there is no limit to how many questions someone can ask. :)
