Who here experiences severe pain before/first day of period?

Hello! I'm 17F and napapansin ko paminsan-minsan — sumasakit ng sobra either sa may labia or sa may pubic mound. Super sakit to the point I freeze kasi grabe yung pain niya. Minsan I can't bring myself to move or walk kapag iniinda ko siya. What do you guys do to manage this? Baka sumakit nanaman this mens cycle huhu

Am I obligated to give a gift to a debutant?

Problem/Goal: I have an upcoming debut to attend on July 20. Currently my budget is tight.

Context: I am an incoming freshman and I plan to keep my remaining money from my savings to buy myself a uniform. Nagdadalawang isip ako kasi I accepted the invitation na and I don't want to miss it out kasi gusto ko rin naman lumabas kahit paminsan-minsan (homebody) kaso nga lang nahihiya ako kasi wala akong gifts. Hindi naman ako part doon sa 18 na magbibigay ng gift pero kasali ako sa program. I mean if sa online naman ako bibili, may mai-reregalo ako pero hesitant ako kasi I want to keep this money to myself rin.

Edit: the debutant is an old classmate

How do I gain weight as someone who's been underweight since I was a kid

Problem/Goal: I've been underweight since I was a kid and I don't know how to gain weight.

Context: I am 17 F and my height is 5'4 and I weigh 43kg. Ever since I was a kid, lagi akong nasa feeding program kasi underweight ako. Oftentimes, I have little to no appetite when eating meals pero I look forward to snacks. Madalas lipas pa sa gutom.

Previous Attempts: I tried taking vitamins. Napanood ko kasi sa tiktok na "pampataba" yung vitamins na yun (ascorbic acid) although I know hindi talaga yun yung effect niya. "Ginugutom" ka lang para magkaroon ka ng "gana" kumain. I also tried adding more portions into my food pero I can't stay consistent kasi nga madalas wala akong gana kumain.

I have a negative outlook of adulthood

Problem/Goal: I have a negative outlook of adulthood to the point I get depressed thinking of me getting older

Context: I am a 17 yr old turning 18 this year. The "adulthood" I'm referring to is post-graduation. Nadedepress ako every time I think about the future and growing up. Iniisip ko kasi kapag nag work na, it gets draining and depressing. No offense sa mga 30yr old diyan pero kapag iniisip ko na mag 30 na ako, parang patapos na agad ang story ng buhay ko.

Ang hirap maging upcoming college student na alanganin sa financial

Problem/Goal: I'm an upcoming college student and ang hirap kapag alanganin sa financial.

Context: I want to take this opportunity para maghanap ng trabaho hangga't wala pang pasok. Nakapasa ako sa public university and nag-apply rin sa mga scholarships pero it feels insufficient.

Tatay ko bumubuhay sa amin, while si nanay nagaalaga sa aming magkakapatid (2 kami). 16k ang sahod ng parent ko in a month (due to taxes and debts).

Saan po ba pwede mag-apply ng trabaho? Yung entry-level sana.

High school clinics should provide contraceptives

Personally, I think high school clinics should provide contraceptives. Intercourse is unavoidable amongst high school students but teenage pregnancy can be.

'Di baleng mag intercourse sila at least hindi nagbubuntisan. Hindi na kasi maiiwasan 'yan kasi mga curious and may mga sari-sariling love life.

By making contraceptives much more accessible, naiiwasan yung pagiging mahiyain and risking pregnancy.

Hindi sa ineencourage ko sila mag intercourse, it's better safe than sorry.

Politics turn Filipinos against each other than for each other and against corruption.

From Bamboo's song "Hindi pula't dilaw tunay na magkalaban. Ang kulay at tatak ang 'di siyang dahilan."

And I stand by it. It's sad to see that politics has turned us Filipinos against each other when really, we should be against corruption. And that a lot of people tend to idolize their "public servants" when they should be below us. The public servants MUST SERVE US. Baliktarin natin ang tatsulok.

Would you recommend IUD as a contraception?

My bf and I are planning to get myself into IUD probably once we hit 20-21 years old (we're currently 18 years old). Would you recommend it? We've been using condoms only as a contraceptive and to keep our intercourse alive and safe, we want to upgrade and invest in an IUD.

How effective is it and what should I do before and during having an IUD.

Dapat bang occasionally mag date kapag nasa Isang relasyon na? And dapat bang ang mga lalaki ang mag initiate and sumagot sa gastos ng date?

Curious how this one will go. What do you think, mga pinay?

Hindi pa rin ako binabayaran ng boss ko, singilin ko pa rin ba?

Problem/Goal: My boss didn't pay me on April 26. So I plan to ask for it. (Nag leave na ako ng job ko na ito long time ago)

Context: My salary is ₱200 per day (only part-time). He keeps delaying the payment, so I'm not getting paid right away. He's done this several times for some reason.

Previous Attempts: I chatted with him on May 5 to follow up about it. Until now, he still hasn't replied or sent anything because I sent him my GCash details.

I want to immerse more in emo style but idk where to start

Hello! I've been looking for a way to upgrade my emo look. I don't look as emo as I intend to but more of like a soft casual girl ykwim.

I want to try contact lenses but I'm scared it'll damage my eyes! Any recos that I can buy that are safe?

I also want to get a haircut but don't want to make a big jump of change since I might not look good on it. Any haircut recos as well that looks similar to the pictures on top?

I hate how harrassment has become a "canon event" for women

I'm not saying na it doesn't happen to men, but I hate the fact that almost every woman I know has experienced harassment.

I've experienced it, my friends have experienced it, and so are my female relatives.

If you don't meet the criteria of BPD, does that mean you don't have BPD anymore?

Hello! I'm sorry if this question may come off offensive. I'm just curious because as far as I know, BPD is chronic. When you say that a person does not meet the criteria for BPD, does that mean they don't have BPD anymore?
