text: i need some help! ~ and this is serious!? okay to start out. . .i am 16 and im a virgin! sometimes i get these red dots on my vagina! and they hurt really bad! but i can pop them when their big enough or if their ready! their kinda like pimples. . . but down there! some people were like you might have herpes! and im like how can i have herpes if i never had sex before? i have no clue what they are! and i really dunno what else to say about them so if someone knows please help me! and this is serious so i hope no one gives me dumb answers! i honestly have had those in my life too... but i do not have herpes at all... and they go away... but you can get herpes my oral sex... also i think if you have been around someone with herpes and used the restroom after they did maybe you could of got something that way... but mine went away and i have never had a venerial disease and chances are you do not either... the best thing to do is to go to the doctor.. i  know you do not want to do this and i would not want to tell my mother either...but that is what are mothers are for... it may be hard but my mother has meant so much to me... i got pregnant at 17 and i just thank god for my mother....i really feel for you to and i know this is something that is really upsetting you... but the best thing to do is to relieve yourself of the worry... talk to your mother or go to a free clinic or some place in your town that will help you.. a lot of times they even do it confidential....hopefully you have a friend you can trust to take you somewhere or maybe even ride a bus... but all in all it would probably be best to confide in your mother...my mother has been wonderful and i hope yours will be too...if you were my daughter i would just take you to the doctor and find out what is wrong.. she will be very relieved herself to know you can talk to her and that you have not been having sexual inercourse with anyone...women have to go through so much it seems to me.. when you do start having sexual relations be sure you always use protection and hopefully you will wait until you can handle the responsibility and with someone that loves you....
