Why the HECK is my 14-year-old sister CRAVING for grapes?!?

Question

First, I heard her say to my mom that she thinks she MISSED her period, then, the morning sickness, and now this?!? What the--?!? She's having CRAVINGS!!!

I'm panicking, right now! How do we tell our dad! Christ, the old man is in Iraq, and how can he concentrate on fighting, when he's thinking of what's going on with his daughter, over here?!?

ask her straight up even though it sounds very possible she might be pregnant.

Talk to her first about her virginity. Then find out if she is. Then you can give him a heart attack by telling him.

Answer 8

Don't panick.  Lots of good answers out there.

Food cravings are also reflective of emotions.  Is your sister a go getter?  is she someone under a tremendous amount of stress?  Does she keep going and continue giving of her self despite all that's going on?

Grapes are full of energy and her body may be saying " I need more fruits, vegetables, and vitamins and minerals.  I am paying more attention to everyone'elses' needs and not enough toward my body, and I am depleting my vitamins and minerals." Grapes are aslo a good way to avoid other cravings that are less healthy and would not help her lose any  weight if she is dieting.

IF any of the above are occuring, that could also cause her to miss a period.

Chill out man! Theres always the investigation, If she pukes then send her to the doctor and have her a pregnant test! Understand and be with her through this journey, protect her from others.

Answer 11

She's fourteen- her periods are most likely irregular anyway.

She probably just has the munchies :]

Answer 12

take her to a local Planned Parenthood and they can give or a test or ultrasound and advise

Answer 13

Sounds like all the signs you get for being pregnant.

But also she could be doing a teenage thing of trying to scare you all and attention seeking. [It happens]

Or perhaps she could be pregnant.

Either way just ask her if shes sexual active and if so get a home kit test and if your still unsure go to the doctor.

Good luck x
