F17, my periods have been regular for five years, but around a year ago it went from 5-7 days to 8-10. Not too painful but I bleed a lot. I don’t take iron supplements but my levels are normal, school nurse said I should look into birth control. I have a bunch of PMDD symptoms too (depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme mood swings, breast pain, joint pain, insane binging etc) before my period but nothing diagnosed and i’m a bit young for pmdd no? anyway i’m kinda scared of the side effects of birth control so idk, pls enlighten me queens

F16, my dad remarried a year ago. my stepbrother who is 12 turning 13 has annoyed me since the start. he’s like the worst kid I’ve ever met, probably due to some developemental disability or something. he regularly tries to beat me and my bio sister, he annoys his mother and can’t be taken anywhere etc. I only act nice for my dad’s sake even though it really bothers me. nowadays he just comes in while i shower without even like knocking to ask some questions or just say something stupid and there’s no lock on the door so i can’t do much about it except for complain, but my stepmom just tells me to tell him off properly. bio mom isn’t around so i can’t complain to her and dad says the same thing. i obviously do tell him off but it doesn’t work at all? like am i supposed to beat this kid??? it makes me feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable and bothered because this is literally a stranger’s kid that i resent and i’m a teenage girl. if i start getting violent with him i’ll probably be shunned or something but this guy really deserves it like even if he’s a bit disabled he’s entirely too old to be doing that to me

tldr problem child stebrother keeps harassing me and no one is doing anything about it
