Answer 1

I Always talk to mum about personal stuff as she has been around longer than i have i'm 28 and i may not live with her but i still tell her everything even if its embarrasing to me like periods,breast problems that sort of thing.

Answer 2

Yes, I can. I had a transvaginal ultrasound the other day and my mom was in the room with me. She asked me if there was any way that I could have Hep C, not easily contracted through sexual contact and I told her I never stuck a needle in my arm. I have discussed STD's with her in the room and how I made my boyfriend go get checked because I thought he gave me something. My mom was shocked that I get checked for HIV every year. She asked why, I told her you cannot trust anyone that much and it can lie dormant for some time before it shows in a blood test. I can talk to my mom openly about anything from the present or the past. When I was a teen I had to disclose sexual activity with her because I had donated blood to the red cross and my blood turned up positive for syphilis and since I was 17 she received a certified letter in the mail. She had to take me to the doctor to run an RPR to prove it was a false positive. That experience was embarrassing for my boyfriend and I because my mom was cross with him until it turned up to be a false positive.
For those who cannot talk to their parents I hope they have an aunt that they can talk to or a school nurse who wouldn't disclose any of the sexual behavior to their parents. There is however Planned Parenthood who could help those who may have an STD with complete confidence. I recommend it if there is teen who is participating in risky behavior or in need of a pap smear, STD testing, contraceptive, and an ear to inform and educate.

Answer 3

i agree,moms are the best person to approach before making any decision about anything... they are not judgmental and always have a way of solving any problem before it gets out of hand. They might not have the perfect answer but they certainly can help in any crisis.

Mama even sense that there is something wrong before i even say it...and she always tell me that she has seen it all, been there and there's nothing we can hide or feel shy about because she is our mom. She has been taking care of us since we were little and will continue to worry until we are adults.

I miss my mom. Since she passed away, it seems that there is no one whom I can truly approach and talk things over. I have friends, I am close to my dad, but its not the same.

I can never feel any embarrassment with my mom. She has seen it all, experienced it all with me. Even discussed everything with me, because she knows that its better to hear it from mom than from someone else...

Answer 4

I was brought up in an open house where we could talk about anything. Not only could I talk to my mum about personal things but also my dad (even though it may embarrass him a little)

Speak to your mum, at the end of the day what is the worst that could happen. Your mum should be your best friend and you should be able to tell your best friend anything.

Answer 5

I am being treated for warts at the moment and am doing everything in my power not to tell my mother which is more difficult than it sounds. I'm nearly 38 so i guess the answer is no.

Answer 6

Same here, I could never talk to my mom about matters like that. I am now 36 and still can't.But My daughter who is 17 can come to me and speak about everything.I didn't want that same relationship with my kid.Sissy(my kid) can come to me with any sort of topic no matter what.Some I wish she would keep to herself,But its nice to know she does.Because if i were able to have spoken to my mom at such a young age,,Things might have been different.

Answer 7

you're saying he's an astonishing guy, so he ought to easily be attempting to humorous tale around and connect with you. consult from him approximately that actuality it makes you sense uncomfortable. If this does not help, then turn to your mum.

Answer 8

When I was a teenager, I was pretty open with my mom but kept body things to myself. Now as I've gotten older, I've opened up alto more. I'm sure as I get older and start having children I'll open even more. It's just hard when you're a teenager, you don't want to embarrass anyone and you don't want your mom to pry.

Answer 9

Best to ask your mum any questions you may have-its the only way of finding out the answer-or ask a close friend.

Answer 10

Yes. I'm very open with my Mom. I've had serious depression so it was a necessity. There isn't anything I wouldn't talk about with her now x
