Serious Talk on Sex -Keep It Mature! description about a manga now added

In regards to the pill:
It isn't for everybody. If you have complications or side effects with the pill you need to contact your doctor and either try a different brand (I've had different experiences with different brands) or talk about other methods of birth control. It's definitely something to look into if you have heavy or irregular menstrual cycles or if you're planning to be or already sexually active!

unfortunately my doctors are absolutely moronic and despite the fact that my hormones are absolutely haywire, and I
have pcos and my periods are mental they still refuse to give me the pill??

Apparently it is because of my age? (yet I've heard of people considerably younger than be being prescribed it for the same reasons)

also because I know a lot of you know my age I am actually a virgin before I get absolutely flipped out at ahah

Do you think guys get hot as well? You don't see guys wearing short shorts. The reason girls wear that kind of clothing is because over-sexualization already took place, It's not some new thing. What you're saying doesn't even make sense.

Well, I do think that it's fair to say that yes, society has been over-sexualized, it's not the same as choice. Guys are free to wear whatever pant length they choose, but most merely choose to wear longer pants. Girls are not, on the contrary, "allowed" to choose due to the consequences they face for choosing their pant length.

It's a pretty complex argument with many different ways to argue for either side.

This so much, I suffered from fainting, excruciating pain among other symptoms every month when I had my period and I was prescribed the pill (at a very young age) only to make my cycles regular and control my hormones. It did wonders! I did have to change them afterwards (I started on the pill at the age of 12) now Im 22 so as my body changed so did my hormones and I already went through 3 different brands of pills.

Oh and no, taking the pill didnt unleash me to the sex world as many believe xD I lost my virginity with my first official bf when I was 19

I'm not exactly sure how birth control would effect your PCOS, but as far as I know because the pill tries to regulate your hormones and whatnot it might make them even more haywire? You'd probably want to ask your doctor for the specifics on the effect it would have with your pcos.
As far as age goes, I started on the pill in middle school (so I was like, 12) because of my menstrual cycle so I'm not sure why age would be a factor.

Hmm... I've witnessed a very close friend of mine who has had severe menstrual cramping-- to the point where she physically could not make it to school or took extra Ibuprofen just to try to ease the pain.

I'd try to bring up the discussion with your parents again. If your pain becomes a detraction to the quality of life you wish to live, I don't think it's unreasonable to at least talk about the options.

It's ok that you're a virgin... haha, I'm a virgin too. And it's great that you are open to discussing sex. Educated is better than unprepared.

I went through pretty much the exact same thing (extreme pain, heavy cycles, etc) which is why I started on the pill at 12 myself. I'm 19 now and I've changed brands a few different times and it definitely works wonders for regulating your cycle!!

It's too much testosterone so it would balance them out, and I'm 15 so apparently I'm too young?
I have no idea, I think they're just lazy.

You might want to try going to a different doctor(s?) then and getting a second opinion. Also do plenty of research beforehand so you know all of the possible side-effects of the pill, and also look into other forms of birth control. (Such as the depo-provera shot.)

 

[iamnothyper]

um... they can. Sorry could you explain your argument ;A;

that wasnt to you, it was to the other person.
i then realized it was about dress codes so i deleted my statement.

but regardless, i just wanted to say that girls are more restricted by what is "appropriate"
i'll just re-post this here i guess

This. I also recommend NEVER GO TO PLAN PARENTHOOD and go to a real facility that is a team of OBGYN's
I have chronic migraines and one of the questions that is normally asked when it comes to birth control is if you have migraines.
Well, basically Plan Parenthood said I would be "ok" with that type of pill and would be fine.

First 3 months were great. I was on cloud 9 and the 7-10 day horrible cramp periods I had became 3-4 day no cramp ones. It was great.
Then, suddenly, I had a 3 week migraine.
I was insanely sick... Dehydrated from vomiting and sleep deprived from the pain... I was also starving non-stop because I could eat nothing without throwing up.
I was the pill...

I went to a real hospital and got my own OBGYN.
Turns out, at 18, I was in an extremely high chance of having a stroke thanks to Plan Parenthood saying I would be "ok".
My doctor was shocked... and probably would have helped me if I decided to sue the facility.

Anyways, since going to talk to a real specialist, I found out I can ONLY be on the shot ((which has some serious side effects as well)) or the inserts ((which I personally know people who have had bad problems with it)) or I am increased chance of stroke because my estrogen levels are too high and are possibly causing the migraines... and can cause a stroke.

But I recommend not getting on any BC if you don't need it.
With the shot, it has lots of bad side effects... just like basically any medication you can take.
Like right now, not even being on it for a year, it has given myself a thinning vaginal wall...
Just so you know what that means to give you an idea, putting a ****ing tampon in can tear my wall causing intense pain.... Imagine the pain caused by sex... yeah...
So, yeah.

Also, being on BC doesn't mean you are or are going to be sexually active ((again I do recommend not doing BC if you aren't planning to be or are sexually active for the side effects)).
As I posted, I got on the pill at 18. I didn't lose my virginity until AFTER I was married at 22.

I'm flirty! Apparently. Ok. Off topic.
Umm, what exactly is discharge?

You could do as Bearica says, I remember I went to 2 different doctors and it was my pediatrician who recommended my mother I should start taking the pill because the symptons wont stop by their own.

I'm 99.9% sure it is because they're all lazy.
one of my friends went to about for different doctors from this same place because he thought he had epilepsy, he tested positive, and yet they did nothing until he finally had a seizure.
The side effects are pretty similar to that of the thyroid tablets I take, so it should be fine.

Do you think guys get hot as well? You don't see guys wearing short shorts. The reason girls wear that kind of clothing is because over-sexualization already took place, It's not some new thing. What you're saying doesn't even make sense.

I should elaborate, the reason people try to force a dress code is because women ARE oversexualized, and it is for the same reason that the clothes that women wear are on the market, they aren't advertised saying "wear these and you will stay cool all summer long".

I was talking about the double standard with clothing and dress codes. Guys aren't forced to wear pants all the time. They can wear shorts or even walk with no shirt off and no one bats an eye. (And guys can wear short shorts, for the record.)

But the problem is that women's body parts are being oversexualized for stupid reasons and we have to pay for it. Why should I have to cover up my legs when it's hot and I'd be burning in jeans in 90-100 degree weather. That's the thing. We all have legs. We use them to walk around. That's nothing new. Not all women dress up to impress men. They do it for themselves or they want to feel comfortable.

I'm saying that it's stupid for schools to make girls cover up in hot weather, when it can put their health in danger. So at the cost of not "distracting" other guys, girls are forced to wear pants and longer sleeves year round.

I've seen that picture and I agree, women are branded by unfair standards.

I guess I was trying to emphasize that our culture does focus on sex-- in a way that becomes socially unacceptable for women to express themselves and "exploits" them. I also wanted to say that men have more choice in regards to what they are "allowed to do" versus women.

edit: just saw your comment. thanks for explaining!

I'd definitely suggest seeing a different doctor then. If you don't believe them to be looking out for your health and well-being, then don't waste your time seeing them.

Sorry I didn't exactly explain myself properly, but for the most part I agree with you. The thing I'm trying to stress is that guys are much more visual than girls which is why that is even an argument in the first place. And yeah I was mainly talking about dress codes.
