i am 16 and i wet the bed at night, i have not told my parents and i dont plan too, they would get mad at me and call me lazy. i dont know what to do, i am using the cloth diapers from when my sister was a baby (she is 6 now) but i am doing a lot of laundry. i dont have money for diapers. help

have you asked your friends for money?
If not do they might understand and help!

What makes you so sure that your parents would react this way? If you did have a problem previously and this is how they treated you, they were wrong for doing so. If you have never had a problem before, and are having one now, you need to tell your parents, so that you can see your doctor. You need to make sure that there isn't a medical problem that needs to be taken care of. If your parents give you flack, your doctor can help them understand that this is not laziness, or something you are doing wrong. The odds are that at some point one or both of your parents will figure out that something is wrong. It's common for kids to think that they'll be in trouble with their parents, or that their parents will be disappointed with them, but in most cases it's just the opposite. Trying to keep it a secret is only creating stress for you and may affect the relationship between you and your parents.

well you need to tell your parents one way or another i hate to say this but its the best thing. I am 13 and was in the same problem but i didn't have cloth diapers i told my parents and they bought me diapers and its cool now. I would tell your parents and if they yell or are disappointed just tell them its not your fault and that u want to see a doctor because of it. As for the car riding thing just wear 2 pairs of underwear and take one off when u get their u might want to bring a bag though. the best thing to do is tell your parents. If you choose not to though then i cant force you to. But either way best of luck to you mate.

Hey there Patrick. It's hard to say what the cause of your problem is. It could be related to puberty, changes in hormones, and all that. It could also be something else. The best thing you could do is tell your parents, and ask to go to the doctor to make sure that nothing's wrong medically. There's no reason to be embarrassed or afraid of telling your parents. You say that you started again, that suggests that you were wetting before. Even more of a reason to think that you're parents will be cool about it. Another possibility is lack of sleep. Most teens actually need between 8 and 10 hrs of sleep. If you're not getting it, you need to look at the possibility of better budgeting your time. Cut back on certain activities, find the time between, or during activities to get homework done (not during classes LOL). Puberty is a taxing time for your body, and that's why teens actually need more sleep now than they may have needed earlier, or may need well into adulthood. The other good thing about telling your parents is that they can either get your protection for yyou, or can order it online and have it dellivered to your home (in unmarked packages).
