Real Answers to Real Questions How do you tell a friend they need deodorant? You can tell him what you learned to help with your own odor. First, the best thing is to wash off as much sweat, oil, and bacteria as you can That means a shower or bath with soap. But some guys need something more, such as deodorant or antiperspirant. These are products you can buy in a grocery store or drugstore that you rub in your armpits to cover up the smell. They come in many different scents and styles. Antiperspirants not only cover up your smell, but also have a chemical in them called aluminum that stops you from sweating for a while. Its best for guys just starting puberty to stick with washing when they start to smell. Guys further along in puberty might want to use deodorants or, later in teenage years, antiperspirants. If youre curious, ask your parents what they use and why they chose it. Im sure your strong-smelling friend will get the message after hearing your advice. What is 'gay'? Being gay means being primarily attracted to other people of the same gender for romantic and sexual partnerships. People who are straight are primarily attracted to people of the opposite gender. Throughout history there have always been people who are attracted to the same gender and others who are attracted to the opposite gender or either gender. As you are growing up and exploring relationships and attractions, you will experience many feelings for a wide range of people. Time and experiences in all sorts of friendships and relationships help you discover and understand your sexuality. Why are girls so chatty and strange? Girls tend to be more vocal and expressive than boys, though there are certainly girls who arent. There are also boys who can be quite chatty and outgoing! Girls can be different from boysboth in their bodies and in the way they act and think. So until you get to know them (which could take a while!), they might seem a bit strange. (Want to know what they think about boys? See Chapter 12 on the girls side.) Read more Real Answers to Real Questions Is it important to have a door to your room during puberty? When you are going through puberty, it can sometimes feel like your whole body is in a construction zone as it transforms into an adult shape and size. That can make you feel more self-conscious and make you want more privacy. Having a place where you can think through things on your own without interruptions can be helpful. As important as all of this is, its not a requirement for someone in puberty to have their own door or even their own room. However, that doesnt mean that you cant look for safe places where you can be by yourself. You might find it helpful to keep a journal where you can write down your experiences and feelings. How was sex invented? No one 'invented' or 'discovered' sexsex has always been a part of life. In fact, its how we got here. As animals evolved, new animals came into being from sexual interactions. Sex is the way we reproduce ourselves. The first time a period happens, do most girls feel uncomfortable or scared? There are girls all over the world who have never had an opportunity to talk to someone about periods before their own show up. I can imagine that seeing reddish-brownish fluid in my underwear would be frightening if I had not had anyone tell me that it might happen. I can also imagine that there are girls who feel nervous about getting their periods even when they know everything there is to know about periods. But there are also girls who look forward to getting their periods because they want to be part of something important. Periods show us that our bodies are becoming adult and that they are developing in a healthy way.
