Hey girls! Here’s a stellar poem written by GL reader Colleen S. Tell us what ya think in the comments please!

 

Matches
 
A scratch
across
The match flares up
The light makes my eyes dance
My mouth is in a smiling trance
The match is my beacon of hope
It starts up my fire
when it’s been stamped out
It lights up my life.
And then, and then,
AND THEN.
The flame goes closer, hotter
burning down the stick
faster, faster, faster
I held on thinking the flame would die
BUT NO.
I got burned.
I had no choice but to drop the match
it with it’s mask of goodness
and stare longingly at the charred remains of my lifeline.
But just because I was burned once,
then regretfully twice,
Does that mean I should never strike a match again?

MOD! MOD! MOD!
Please help me. For a few days now 'down there' has been hurting whenever I 'go' There's no cut, it doesn't sting and it's not on the flaps. but it feels like a tiny bump. And it bleeds just a little bit. What do I do? And what is this? I don't want to go to the doctor because it's embarrassing and my doctor is a male. please help me, than you. (:




Hey girl!

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but this is definitely something that you need to get checked out by a doctor.  It could be something as minor as an ingrown hair, but it could also be something much more serious.

If you're worried because your doctor is a man, ask your mom to come with you.  She can talk to your doctor and ask if there's a nurse or another female doctor that can take a look at you instead so you're more comfortable.
