Our bodies don't come with instruction manuals, and many young women aren't sure exactly what's normal and what isn't. Worse yet, they often suffer needlessly- or put themselves in danger- because they're too embarrassed to ask their parents or doctor.

How to handle a too-visible hickey? Whether it's really dangerous to be obese? Should you seek counseling for depression- or is there another way to beat the blues? All these and hundreds of other important issues receive the thoughtful, honest answers that every girl wants to know.
