For about three months, i've been having a cough on and off (i think it's most gone now, though) and pressure in my head, eyes and nose. My face also swells, which is what bothers me the most. I went to the dr. like, last week maybe and she gave me some antibiotics. I took them for five days and now i'm off them, but the pressure and swelling continues. The pressure is annoying and i hate how i look and feel with the swelling in my face. Does anyone know what i should do? Are there any sinus medications or anything that would help with the swelling and pressure.. specifically the swelling?
Thanks (link)

I unfortunately have the same problem as you. I haven't been well since January with tons of different illnesses, and now it's a sinus infection that i've had for a month. You could be suffering from Pollen allergies. When doctors say it's a sinus infection they probably aren't sure what the cause of it is... so try taking allegra every day (it does a good job after you've been taking it for a while- like even if it doesn't help you at first KEEP TAKING IT) and take motrin for your swelling pain- and remember to drink tons of fluids.
i hope i helped

How do you get rid of Cellulite?
(link)
|
everyone has cellulite- it's not a big deal.
the only way to remove it is to decrease your total amount of body fat by losing weight. I've lost 30 pounds already and there's a big difference in the amount of cellulite I have on my thighs.
My thighs look pretty much normal now actually.
So just eat between 1200-1700 cals a day and do 20-60 minutes of cardio+conditioning at least 4 times a week.
that should do it.
also: go to: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
and that will tell you how many cals you need per day.
hope i helped

i really want to get a smaller waiste size. Right now my measurements are 31.5 26 33.5. I want to get a corset to push in my ribs and eventually give me a tiny frame. the corsets at victorias secret are suppose to be sexy not frame building. does anyone know where i can get one? (link)
|
corsets are really unhealthy- that's why people stopped wearing them in the early 1900's. Do you want to faint/have breathing problems?
If you want a smaller waist (which you don't NEED one- i'd die to have a 26' waist) you can do ab exercises/decrease your amount of body fat by losing weight...
but just don't be self-conscious because you're so thin! omfg can i switch waists with you? haha

im in 9th grade, 15, and im THIS close to going out with a 7th grader. he's 13. this is odd, because im not desperate, im just really attracted to him. and we like each other. but, is it worth it? and is that really odd? and, by the way, i don't care what people will say, that wouldn't be a reason not to go out with him. so any words of advice? (link)
|
If his parents and your parents are okay with it, and if he's mature then i'd do it.
I'm in 8th grade and I'm THIS close to going out with a 6th grader (though he's 13 and im 14 1/2)... so you're not alone!
don't go spreading it around- i'm serious don't tell ANYONE. then the whole world will know and everyone will say mean crap about you. plus he'll get teased.
hope i helped

Does anyone know how to achieve great turnout for ballet? (link)
|
Turnout is all about stretching the hip flexors. There is no easy way to do it- you have to do the following stretches daily: Sit on the floor with your feet facing each other so that your legs make a diamond shape (you probably already know this one) and gradually try to push your knees closer to the floor/put your face on your feet.
Also make the same shape with your legs only be on your stomach so your knees are on the floor. Then try to pull your feet closer to it.
This one is harder:
Also sit with both of your legs in that position where you're sort of kneeling only one leg is sort of out to the side and then the other leg is under the other one- only take the leg that's farthest away from you out farther so it makes a 90 degree angle and do the same thing with the other one so the right foot is touching the left knee. (if that makes sense- that was the best way i could describe it)
after you do these for a while you will notice your turnout has greatly increased.
Just WHATEVER YOU DO- don't try to overextend your hip flexors in a first position (or any position) by turning out your feet wider than they can naturally go. You'll become injured and then you'll never be able to dance again. (turnout must come from the WHOLE LEG- not just feet.)
good luck!
i've been in ballet for quite some time so feel free to ask me any other questions you might have!

have an orgasm? i think i had an orgasm with a back massager that was like extreme vibrations and it felt very warm. and then i think i had an orgasm but i don't know. what does an orgasm feel like? how long do they usually last? (link)
|
It feels like a warm, throbbing sensation that spreads throughout your body- as if warm chocolate syrup exploded out of your clit and then traveled to the rest of your body. (haha that's the best comparison i could think of) This feeling can last up to 45 seconds for me (but i'm a very experienced masturbator) but for normal people it should last about 3-5 seconds. Then there's a feeling of relaxation.
But when it happens- you'll know it- because it's unlike any other feeling experienced in masturbation. It's sort of like a wave that you feel- like your whole body is electrified.
Also- with the back massager you'll have to have at least 10 minutes of clitoral stimulation- orgasm can't come any other way.

I know it's wrong to fall in love with your teacher, but I mean, I can't help my heart can I? Recently I've caught a lot of feelings for one of my teachers, who is by the way only in his early or mid 20's (i'm 16). I tried to make myself not like him, but as days go by and I have to see him everyday, there's nothing I can do except like him even more. It's getting to the serious point where, I think about him almost all day and at times I get really depressed just for the simple fact that I know I'll never have him. Plus, he's one of these strict teachers who is very conscious that he is handsome, so he keeps a barrier btw him & his students, which only makes him less attainable. Sometimes I catch him looking at me, & I also understand before a teacher he's a man, but I also get paranoid because he knows embarrassing and/or personal things about me that no one else does...i have problems i know, but It's really not my fault...I'd appreciate the help & concern...Thankz (link)
|
I was very much in love with a teacher at 13, but he was 43... I pretty much forgot about him in a matter of months after the 7th grade year ended. I'm sure that this same thing will happen to you, after you stop seeing this teacher. Trust me. But, at this point in your life he is unattainable because he probably is engaged/married/in a relationship. There's always the chance that, once you're 18 and if you still have these deep feelings for him that you can find him again and maybe he'd call you? or you could call him.
It is perfectly normal to be in love with a teacher. I know everyone goes through it at least once.
He won't want to be considered a pedophile by dating you, i mean, think of the reputation he would have if he was dating a 16-yr-old girl!
He's probably looking at you becuase you're pretty, or because he can tell that you have feelings for him, or because he thinks you're not paying attention. But who knows?
For the time being, involve yourself in something you enjoy- or let yourself fall for someone closer to your age. Then you'll be happy because you'll have a relationship with someone who returns your feelings.
I hope I helped.

ok well im really shy and all my friends and enemies have boyfriends they seem to get the guys. im not ugly. i dont understand it i am always myself smart,nice,pretty, but shy. what do guys look in for girls. (link)
|
I'm not a guy, but I do know that guys are always attracted to happy/cheerful women. Do you frown all the time? Are you negative? Do you come across as desperate? (which i doubt you are any of those things)
You need to overcome your shyness. You don't have to be loud and obnoxious like everyone else, but you must learn to strike up a casual conversation with a boy. (maybe you already do this?)
Join an activity of some sort such as drama (you'll find really outgoing, funny guys there). Or whatever you might be interested in. Then you can talk to a boy who has something in common with you. Talk to lots of boys- then they'll notice you're alive. Don't just pin yourself down to one.
Also here's another tip: really search for a shy, quiet guy. They're always the nicest and best boyfriends.
You could try putting on a good-smelling perfume, then people will look at you and notice you more because of the scent.
And finally: just know that I'm in the same situation as you right now- same age and everything. I'm pretty and nice, I'm not really that shy though... I've had two boyfriends that I got in the following ways: one was just attracted to my beauty, and the other was someone who I asked out myself.
I've been single for quite some time now, but everyone else around me has a bf. And it really sucks a lot, i know!
I want you to also realize that life isn't all about having a boyfriend. I've become much happier now that I was able to tell myself that. Relationships aren't that great- and dating isn't fun. It's actually really boring and pointless and dull, not to mention scary.
But I'm not saying that relationships are unimportant.
I hope I helped.

ok so im 15, female, and i've always heard of people talking about masturbation, and i'd never tried it. So one day, about a month ago, I tried it, and it felt SOOO good...but as I kept doing it, the feeling decreased and it actually started feeling wrong. I feel guilty because I consider myself a fairly good Cristian, and also because sometimes I'll do it even 3 times a day, but I don't wanna get addicted. Sometimes I feel so ashamed of myself because I'm basically having sex by myself, and I wonder if any of my friends do it (and dats when i really feel pathetic)... I just dont know what to do...Thanx for reading... (link)
|
I totally and completely understand what you're going through. I'm 14 now, I've been masturbating since I was 12, and I do it 4 times every day. About the feeling starting to go away- it's because you do it so frequently. If you orgasm every time, you will notice that the pleasure decreases if you do it more than once every 12 hours. When that happens, just don't do it for about 24 hours and the pleasure will come back.
About guilt- well, you should not feel guilty just because you are a christian. I am a very strong christian myself. There is nothing in the Bible that specifically says not to masturbate, nor is it implied. Although some people believe that self-pleasuring is "Committing a form of adultery in your heart" by "lusting" I completely disagree with them. I personally talked to God to seek out the answer- and I believe that He still accepts me as one of His followers even though I masturbate. Talk to Him yourself and He will provide more answers for you also.
Masturbation is a completely normal thing to do (as long as you're not publicizing it) and the pleasure you recieve from your own touch is completely natural and EVERYONE deserves to have this pleasure. It is also one of the body's natural ways to relieve stress.
Don't worry about getting addicted- I'm very addicted. It's like my drug.
Sometimes I feel ashamed too, because all the people I know are extremist christians and would totally be against it. But I just have to reassure myself that it's okay to masturbate. I'd be having hookups all the time now if I could- so you just have to consider the alternative to masturbation.
You must have a sexual outlet of some kind, so what's it going to be? Unsafe premarital sex with a partner? Or harmless self-pleasuring?
See, now masturbation seems less harmful doesn't it.
I hope I helped!
btw if u have a myspace i'd like to add u on there...

I need your help deciding what the ideal menu for a public dinner would be.
Not knowing what would be the best dishes to serve is making this an impossible task.
If you will tell me your favorite foods, or point me to your favorite recipes, it would really help a lot.
You can list as many things as you like. They don't have to be fancy things at all. I am all about the comfort food baby! :)
This will be a mixed group of people so I would like to have something for everyone.
Cooking for a banquet is not as hard as trying to figure out WHAT to cook!
Everyone will receive feedback.
Thank you!
P.S. If all that was a lot to digest, pun intended, here is a summary: Please list all your favorite foods. (link)

Well, some people are probably vegeterians like me.
So i'd suggest you add some vegeterian options such as:
pasta with marinara/alfrado sauce (no meat or chicken or fish or anything)
vegetables?
cheese pizza
cheese ravioli
veggie burgers
pasta salad (again, no meat)
hope i helped.

i have constant suicide thoughts and know i must be checked into a hospital i went to crisiskids.com or whatev. and they didnt understand im seriously considering this. im 13 years old, female. i feel like im not wanted here, and no one even cares anymore. i constantly fight with my mother and father and sisters. how can i get the medical help i need before i seriosly kill myself. (link)
|
I'm 14 and I'm the same way. You might not want to be checked into a hospital, because they will basically just lock you up (i don't know if they'll put you in a straightjacket or not) and that might not be better than the alternative of just being thankful for the things you have in your life.
So the truth of the matter is, it really isn't better to be in a mental hospital- i've come very close to it myself.
Do something that you enjoy, such as painting your nails or working out- that's what I do to get my mind off things.
I'm not wanted here either, but I'm fighting through this difficult time, and I know that someday I will meet someone who will want me and everything will be okay.
Just think- if you kill yourself now, you won't be here for all the wonderful things that will happen to you in the future- which is sooner than you think.
I honestly was going to commit suicide at 13. But just don't do it okay? I'd be glad to talk to you online.
Here's my screenname: xbwayxactressx.

hm well i didnt know what to put this under put i have never used a tampon before and i am going to a waterpark this saturday and unfortunatly, i just started my perios =[. i am really nervous because i dont like being tuoched or anything being stuck up my vaginal area, its uncomfortable. my sister said to use ky jelly, does that help? im not sure how heavy it is gonna be but is it okay to start out with beginner tampons? and how much does it hurt to take out, ill probably cry. i get soo uncomfortable down there so if there is any tips please help!
thanks in advancee =] (link)
|
use "tampax easy glide" or "tampax lites junior". that's what i started out with.
just make sure the angle is right when you're inserting it. also relax your muscles.
they don't hurt at all if you get them in all the way.
Taking them out doesn't hurt- it just slides out... that's if you've had it in for long enough for it to get saturated with blood. If it's dry it's a little bit uncomfortable- but hey it ends in about 1 second.
good luck and carefully read the insertion directions in the box.
don't worry about this. :)

you can't really change how your friend eats when you're not there- but you can tell her to look on an "online caloric needs calculator" to see how many calories her body actually needs.
As you may know, weight loss is not about starvation- it's about calories consumed vs. calories burned. Your body naturally burns a certain amount of calories every day, and if she is overweight she is obviously consuming more calories than her body is burning. That needs to change.
So just tell her to count calories- find out how many she should have in a day and stick to that number!
hope i helped
i'm overweight too- now only 19 pounds overweight but i used to be about 40 pounds overweight.
give her my screenname: xbwayxactressx. i'll talk to her and i can help her with it too.
and this is my myspace: www.myspace.com/unendingnight
i can talk to her on there too :)

i've been dating this guy for a couple of weeks and he wouldn't kiss me but he said he really liked me. so when i went in to kiss him he backed off and i got really mad and yelled at him why he wouldn't kiss me if he liked me so much. he told me he didn't like to be kissed on the mouth but he does like to be kissed on the neck and stuff. i don't kno what to do. i like to be kissed on the mouth and he's driving me insane.
please help!! (link)
|
well he might not be ready for kissing on the mouth. guys mature at a much slower rate than girls do, which you probably know.
there's really nothing you can do to change the way he feels about intimate kissing. You could either break up with him, or you could just keep kissing him on the neck and stuff... who knows? he might end up opening up to let you kiss him on the lips...
i hope I helped
i'm sort of in a similar situation with my guy (but we're going on our 2nd date this weekend- sooo yeah idk if he'll let me kiss him or not lol)

when i massturbate i normally bleed, that is when i use like the end of my vibrating razor, why and how do i not, is it normal, or will it stop? thank you=) (link)
|
obviously, if you are bleeding while using a venus Vibrance, you're doing something really wrong. you should never bleed during self-pleasuring.
you could be eroding your hymen little by little- but you can't be sure if it has already been broken. I'm always really careful when I use my venus vibrance- I insert it very slowly- never thrusting it in and out quickly because it is not completely smooth.
I'd reccomend switching to something else like using the flat end of a sonicare toothbrush. It's soooo intense.
best of luck
but don't use the razor the way you are now.

does anyone know of any really good art schools on the east coast? i'm a junior this year but i have to get my applications and start on them before too long.
thank you in advance. (link)

i'm not sure if you mean visual art or performing arts, but I know of 3 amazing schools that have very strong programs in all the arts.
Interlochen Arts Academy, Walnut Hill School of the Arts, and Idyllwild Arts Academy.
I have visited 2 of the 3, and they were very good.
google the above schools and look through their websites.
see which one is closest to you, go visit it, and apply.

Hello. I am 31 years old & I have orgasms, but, I have the hardest time achieving one. I just can't stand it anymore! Someone told me there are pills out there that will help me with it. Is that true? I hope someone out there has experienced them & if so, where do I get them and do they really work?
Thankyou. (link)
|
if you're talking about self-pleasuring, then i'd say that you need to practice more often and just really learn to connect with your body and maybe implement some new methods. (i use the flat end of a sonicare toothbrush on my clit it's soooooooo intense) If you have a partner who pleasures you, then, well I couldn't tell you much about that, seeing as I'm a virgin...
but yeah try the sonicare. it's amazing.
i achieved my first real orgasm by the time i was just 14. but that was after 2 years of self-exploration.
hope i helped and good luck

I want to start cheering, but I don't know where to start. I'm extremely flexible, but I can't do the splits. I can go pretty low, but not all the way.
So I need some help with learning how to get to that point, like excersizes?
Also, if anybody knows anything else I could do to try to make the squad, that would be greeaattlly appreciated!
Like what should I be able to do? Back flips?
THAAANKS! (link)
|
I'm not a cheerleader, but I'm a ballerina- so I do know quite a bit about flexibility.
It took me about a year to be able to do a split all the way. You MUST practice it every single day- and gradually try to push yourself lower. You might be surprised at how much lower you can go if your muscles are really really warmed up. Do some squats and weight lifting and maybe run for a while- just work up a sweat- then try to do a split.
There are two stretches that will help you to achieve a split- Go into a lunge with one leg in front and bend the other leg so your knee is on the floor- then push your hips forward so you'll be stretching the split muscle (idk what it's called lol).
Then, bend your back knee (the one that's on the floor) and lean your back down so your front leg is out, and you're sort of in fetal position with the one leg in and the other one out. And try to put your face on your knee.
Do those on both sides, then try to do a split.
Just keep practicing it- and after a short time, you'll be able to do it!
