Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 August 2007

I am almost 14 years old. I havea bra, but my mom's friend gave it to me and it finally fit me just a while ago. Now, Its still an okay size, but it keeps unattaching itself and I would likea new one. My mom knows that her friend gave me one, but I'm not sure if she knows I am wearing it. I wash it while she's at work (because it looks ugly. The seguins fell off and their leftover glue is still on them.)

I have worn camis since 6th grade and am not bigger than an A. My moms not the kind to get excited. And I try to avoid talking to her about ything about my body.

What should I say to her???

Okay.. I'm 15...and I think I may have made a huge mistake. Please dont lecture me on anything..cause I know, I know...

But..I think I may be pregnant..Today I took 2 pregnancy tests..one didn't really work and the second one was negitive..
But I thought that may be because I was supposed to get my period today. I've experianced mild back pain, hiccups, headaches, cramping, a little weight gain, and slight food cravings..like...I have no cravings for fast food...and I'm so hungry...yet nothing looks good... I've started to feel nauseous every now and again..but it only lasts a few seconds...my boobs are sooooo sore I can barely stand them to be touched..and they're slightly swollen..

What do you thinkk? &&What should I do?

Our 5 month old baby boy keeps tugging at his left ear. It is not an ear infection as confirmed by our pediatrician. He is not teething either.

It seems to be a nervous habit of his. He does it without really thinking seemingly or just absent-mindedly tugs at his left ear (not his right).

The other day he was tugging at it so much he scratched himself. He seems to be doing this more and more regularly...

Should we be concerned? Is this a red flag to something more serious? I've read somewhere that these types of repetitive actions are cause for concern -- possibly early signs of a disorder...???

Any insights or suggestions?

My name isn't a English name, my first name is Miao. Because it sounds Meow, some kids make fun of my name by pronouncing it as a cat meow... i know those kids are silly, but it still bothers me sometimes... Should I change my name or I just ignore them? What do you think?

My one year old gets diaper rashes and I have noticed before that she gets these bumps that are hard behind them. Then they pop and pus comes out then they go away. But then they always seem to come back, they are very red, hard behind them (like they are caked behind them) are these boils? If so is it normal for babies to get them and what causes them? Please Help Me! I'm scared!!!!

My son does great nursing throughout the day, but come night time and around the time before bed he won't seem to nurse unless I pay full attention to him. If I look away or move my hands away from him, he immediately pulls off and then turns right around searching for my breast. This happens continuously until the feeding is over. Which leaves me to stare at him and talk until the feeding is over. How can I break this habit and why does he do it? He's 8 weeks old today.

Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me: I loved you enough to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home. I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep. I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours
while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes. I loved you enough to let you see anger,
disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect. I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it. Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents,

Okay, Im 13, very mature for my age, and am very careful.. Well, everyone who wants a babysitter chooses my older sister (15 1/2) She was 12 when she started babysitting a 3 and 5 year old. 14 when she started babysitting a 6 month old every day. Anyways, my sister and I are homeschooled and are helping in the nursery for MOPS at our church.....we are in the 6-12 month old's, my mom will NEVER let me hold babies, or even touch them. She treats me like im two, and no one thinks im responsible because I have only babysat a 5 year old 2 days a week for about 2 months. Would anyone hire me as a babysitter, or do you have any ideas on how to get experience so more people would hire me as a babysitter?
P.S. We just moved, and there are alot of 3-9 year old kids in our neighborhood.

Has your child ever been the victim of cyber-bullying? If so, what did you do to stop it?

What about the other side of the coin? Has your child ever -been- the cyber-bully?

Thank you for all answers in advance! :)
