Hey, I completely understand. I had what would later be diagnosed as PCOS when I was 11. I started having having severe pain and constant bleeding since I was 11. If you read more about PCOS you find out that a lot of women have it. The symptoms like excess hair, acne and obesity are normal because of the hormone inbalance. I know it's embarassing- and sometimes you feel alone and embarassed but you need to talk to your parents or go to a free clinic and get put on birthcontrol (that helped me). You might also have insulin resistance- there are lots of other things that go along with PCOS so you really need to get help from a reproductive endocrinologist. (they are like a OBGYN except a specialist for PCOS ). they can do blood test and an ultrasound to see exactly the problem. THere is a high success rate- some women reverse the diagnoses. DOn't give up hope. YOU need to stand strong

I totally feel your pain, i have been going through this since I was very young and I always get depressed, so please know that we go through the same things. If you're overweight, i PROMISE you that exercising will help your symptoms, especially acne and extra facial hair.

Since exercising takes time to show improved results, why don't you wax in the meantime? If you're not willing to do that u can try electrolysis or laser. Also, i want you to know that i was on birth control for 7 years and it did me no good, so i urge you to switch to the natural methods. Birth control will only mask your symptoms and give you a fake period, and trust me that's not what you want.

Good luck to you, and trust me it would help to read the PCOS book and see a professional.

Hey, I am Ashlee and i have had Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome since I was 16 as well. I know you feel depressed, I did to at that age, I liked boys and was scared just like you but let me tell you, don't be to scared to get close to someone. I have been married for 2 years, and my husband loves me for me not my disease. You are young, and I am sure a beautiful girl. You will find someone, you need to accept the fact that you have this disease, and accept who you are. If you do that I am sure you will feel better. Another thing, you do need to be on a good diet. If you eat healthier and get excercise then you won't get bad facial hair, neither will you get bad acne, and if you are a diabetic your sugar will be normal. See its all up to you sweetheart! I wish you the best of luck!
