Anonymous: Hey Lauren, Love your Biblical insight/wisdom. What are your thoughts on plastic surgery? I didn’t think I would every be asking this, but as I’ve aged my thoughts on this subject have changed. I’m considering breast augmentation. I don’t want to look like a porn star… but would like to fix the droop a bit. Thanks! Suz

Anonymous: Hi Lauren, I’ve been wondering how to go about a situation with a guy. I was born and raised Christian but I lost my virginity in my late teens. I am now 20 and I want to honor God and both me and the dude, but how can I overcome my feelings of worthlessness? I can’t help but think that a guy that waited for his wife would want a girl that also waited ‘til marriage for...

Anonymous: I was wondering if you could give some advice or shine some light on the subject of self mutilation or cutting, I have a friend struggling with this and I’m struggling to know how to help her.
Lauren: This is so hard. :( I’ve had several people in my life who are very close to me struggle on and off with cutting, and it’s so heartbreaking. I asked my friend Shannon to...
Anonymous asked: Hi Lauren, I've read a lot of your answers to questions about dressing modestly and how it isn't a woman's fault for mens lustful looks. I've also read a few Hugo articles. And i do agree with them. But i've also been told by many friends and even by my church that you should always cover up so that you won't even tempt men to do, or think something lustful. Are they...

I am really insecure about my body and I am already awkward and I just get really nervous and have problems NOT having sex. I am terrified that it is going to suck. I just wanted to know if you were nervous too and how you dealt with it. What can I do to stop...

Anonymous #1: Hi Lauren, It’s so hard having a best friend that is really beautiful. Boys like her, everyone likes her. I’m so jealous and it affects my relationship with her. What can I do about this? It’s been so many years and the jealousy is not at the least fading. I’m 16 years old and not one guy has ever like me/ever got a boyfriend… And I fear very much that...
Anonymous asked: Lauren, I was wondering how you feel about smoking marijuana. If you aren't addicted to it and it's not leading you to do other drugs, what is wrong with it? It seems natural so I guess I'm just wondering the harm in it.
moonshinedying asked: hey Lauren, I LOVED your post about modesty. the way you explained the subject was exactly how ive always seen it. unfortunately though, i have quite a few friends who ridicule me for wearing bikinis and other "provocative" clothing (ie. skinny jeans). how can i give a short, concise, sound answer when I am accused of the "bikini sin"?
Anonymous asked: Lauren, I'm struggling with masturbation. I only go a few days without it before I fall again. I know in my spirit that it is wrong, but yet I still cave. How do I get over this struggle? Can you recommend some resources?
krislanae asked: I was wondering what your thoughts were on masturbation? My best friend just recently sent me some articles stating that masturbation wasn't inherently sinful since the Bible doesn't say much about it. As long as you weren't using porn or fantasizing while masturbating, they said that it was God's gift to singles as a way to release sexual tension and remain pure until...
