what are some ways to get rid of gas??
Exercise. It can be a bit painful, but moving around will also get everything inside you moving around and therefore make it easier to be . . . expelled, shall we say. Even lying in a different position if it's bad can help.
I've never had any success with foods getting rid of it, but the suggestions below might work for you anyway.

I'm really sick of being a guy. I've always wanted to be a girl. Does anybody know how I can get a sex change?
That is an extremely loaded question.
There's a difference between being sick of being a guy, and actually feeling like you're in the wrong body. If you genuinely feel like you should be female, you need to take steps forward. If you're not sure, you need to think about it some more.
The first step would be to enter counselling. A therapist will help you make absolute certain that you believe you were born into the wrong body. No matter how sure you are, you need to see a counsellor anyway. I believe it's a requirement before any sex-change operations take place.
A counsellor can also help you transition. Along with a doctor, they can help you with hormonal therapy to begin with. It won't be an easy journey. It might not be a fun one. But if this is what you feel the need to do, therapy is probably the best place to start.

I really love my boyfriend, but there is one thing that is really getting me angry! I used this product that like waxes "down there" in different shapes. I guess it makes it more fun for you and your partner. He liked it and now i'm frustrated. He refuses to do anything sexual with me unless I wax down there in like a shape. It's so dumb!! Like as soon as he sees I didn't do that he's groans and says "nevermind." I thought it was a thing I can do everys so often, cause it's annoing to do. I feel like saying "you can't freakin have sex with my just cause there isn't a freakin heart or triangle?!" What should I do?
Why not tell him what you want to say? He deserves it. He should love you and be glad you'll have sex with him at all. Asking you to wax isn't fair. It's your body, not his. Make him own up to that fact.
Or, try cutting him off. If he seems to be making sexual advances, stop him, and in a sarcastic tone, tell him you can't have sex because you're not waxed the way he wants. It might work.
But really, the best way is to talk to him honestly. Tell him that you feel unvalued and that it's not fair of him to expect you to do everything he wants. If he can't respect that, he's not worth it, no matter how much you love him. The first sign of an abusive relationship is control.

I think the psychiatric doctor I have and the psychiatric nurse that I regularly go to, conspirated against me.
I needed to get a drivers license psychiatric paper that I can drive and he was very negative, asked me all crazy stuff like my psychosis illness and If I have had a psychosis the last time etc, and I got very scared and pulled up in a corner , and I left them and I sent a sms to the nurse saying the f word and that I hated them, and now I think I have f... up really badly and now I dont feel good I was in a psychosis yesterday and I felt they were conspirating against me, I really need your help!
Apologise my poor English , I am foreign.
I hate to say it, but I don't think they were conspiring against you. The fact that you had difficulties when you were there, reacted in such a manner, and now think they conspired against you, are all indications that not everything is okay with your mental health right now.
I think you need to talk with them again and discuss what you need to do in order to bring your illness under control, and therefore qualify for your driver's license.

my stomach is like a huge curve and i hate it. where my ribs are its big then when you go lower down to my belly button my waist goes in like alot then my hips are really big and i hate it. does anyone know how to get my hips smaller? thanks.
Guess what--you have a female body. Let me explain.
This is the way women are built (please, please tell me you're female, otherwise disregard this). You have hips because, well, you need them to bear children. You have a bigger area around your ribs because ribs take up space. Your shape is more appealing to most guys than a less curvy one, for what it's worth.
You can't target weight loss, and you can't change the shape of your body. If you want slimmer hips, you'll have to lose weight all over. Even then, you may or may not get the results you desire.
I wish I could tell you the magical answers, but I can't. You're stuck with the body you have. Try and love it. :0)

okay im not fat and inoe it. just ive been on vacation and im gaining weight. i need to lose the weight and ive been going to the gym working out a lot, pilates and everything but i cant stop eating. its not like im a cumpulsive eater or nething like that. and im not hungry all the time. jus im bored or i wanna eat something because of the taste and im not hungry. i duno its wierd. and i noe some of u are gonna say to eat snacks and stuff but have them be healthy... and i do that. but like i wanna stop eating soo much. because i finish lunch and i eat a banana and then i want something else. so i eat grapes and then like yogurt and then i go to the kitchen and eat some more.??? pleassee help me. wat are ways i can stop eatingg and cut down on my cravings because i noe its gonna get out of hand im gonna start eating unhealthy foods and gain weighhtt
help.
The only thing I've been able to find that works is to find something else to do. Or, if I'm not sure if I'm still hungry or just craving, I'll tell myself that if I still want whatever it is in twenty minutes, I'll have it. Usually I've forgotten by then.
Light exercise can really help with cravings. Not only does it distract you, but it can also quell your appetite (although for some people, it does the opposite, so beware). Even playing an adrenaline-pumping computer game, or getting involved in reading or homework or anything else can distract you from eating.
I feel your pain, I really do. I've had MAJOR issues with cravings and weight gain because of it. I think to a certain degree it will always be a struggle, but if you set your mind to it, and have plans in mind, more often than not, you'll beat the cravings.

My dog Bear is a mix bread of a German-Shepered and Black Lab, and ever sence Christmas she's been slipping, sliding, falling on our hard wood floor and she can't get up by herself.She's 12 years old which is old for a dog but she's mine!She has to protect us!She can't leave.....I've seen this happen before to a friends dog and she ended up putting him down but I don't want to put Bear through pain.She's always been here...I was like 2 when we got her and she's apart of the family.I'm crying just asking this but if she doesn't get better I-- I always wanted her to be here to slink around rooms and check on us, Im afraid im ganna come home and she'll be gone(past away).How do I help her?Both of her back legs give out and slide right out from under her....
It's kinda not a question but
Ill miss her
I know what you're going through. My cat is currently sick and he's not going to last much longer. It's hard, every day, to judge whether or not he's in too much pain anymore.
You need to talk to your vet. There is a chance you can improve her life, at least for a little while, and if so, don't you want to know how? And, worst case scenario, it's time to let her go so she's not in pain for the rest of her life.
I'm so sorry. And if anyone tries to tell you that it's silly to care that much about a pet, they're simply wrong.
Take care, and do what you know in your heart is right.

13/f last night i think i interuppted my parents having sex. my mom yelled at me through the door because it was locked and i knocked on it. it was like 10:45 pm. my parents never go to bed that early and they never shut the door and lock it. is this a sighn of ur parents having sex?? im just curious and i didnt think my parents still did that stuff. should i ask my mom or should i just let it go?? its really bugging me!!!
Trust me--you don't want to ask. After all, if you ask and the answer is yes? Well, then you know. And you'll think about it. And think about it.
Parents have sex. It's inevitable, if they're in a good relationship. Much as we kids might not like to think about it, it's the reality. Just try to think about something else, and eventually you WILL stop wondering (believe me, I know).

i have almost the opposite problem of most people - my thighs are pure muscle, not fat - which is A LOT harder to get rid of. this sounds weird i know, but i really want to get rid of some of the muscle. i'm slim but i worked out a lot especially my thighs, so now they're huge in comparison to the rest of my body. how do i get rid of the muscle there?? it's so much compared to the rest of my legs.
I wouldn't advise purposely trying to lose muscle. Perhaps you could do some toning, though--Pilates and yoga are said to lengthen muscles, giving you a slimmer appearance. As mentioned below, lighter weights with more repetitions should also help you have longer, leaner muscles, rather than bulky ones.
You might not be able to change them dramatically. Try to value the body you have, hard as it may seem. I know, I know, you hear that too many times. But it's the truth.
Think of what your body can do--it's strong, it moves, it functions beautifully. It can repair itself. It acts logically for the most part. What's not to love?
Easier said than done, I realise. But if attempting to obtain leaner muscle fails, well, you might just have to accept what you have.
Good luck, though. I hope it works.

i'm 5'4.5" and about 110 pounds. i think i have a pretty good body, but kids at my school think im anorexic. it gets me so mad, they dont need to bring me down just because they're fat and im normal weight. america is so fat that they think people at a healthy weight are anorexic or bulemic. ANYWAY (sorry for going off topic) i want to add some meat to my arms and legs. I just want those two areas to be a little more "meaty". what can i do? exercize is hard for me, because i never have time for it. are there any drinks or foods i can use to help me gain weight just in those areas? thanks for your time and advice!
Just like with weight loss, you can't target weight gain.
You're in a healthy range currently, albeit on the low end. A few pounds less and you'd be classified as underweight. Regardless, that's not the point.
Exercise might be hard, but it's your best bet if you don't want to actually gain much weight. To a certain degree, you'll be able to change the look of your body in the places you want--do activities using your arms and your legs.
You could stand to gain a few pounds if you're really concerned. But why let other people dictate how you feel about your body?
Ultimately, there's no solution to your problem of targeted weight gain. The body just doesn't work that way, I'm afraid.

I am still stuck on this issue. As you could see from my past questions, I need serious help with this issue. My husband does not accept me for my baptism. Even though I was like 5 and have not sinned and did not know the difference as I do now, does that make it wrong? I feel like I am going to lose my husband because of this. He will not leave me. This is my personal feeling. I want my husband to accept me fully. We have difference views on certain topics in the Bible. He does not believe certain things I have to say. He is always right. How am I suppose to know which interpretation is the right one? Was I baptised wrong? Should I follow my husband and his belief for the sake of our marriage and our future children and be baptised in his church? We are both Christians, but different kind of churches. But I only believe in one baptism. Should I not be baptised and just suck it up and go to church with him and forget it? I do not want to have to go to different churches and how could I raise my child that way? He will not leave his church and allow us to be "one" as marriage should be. I am willing to do this. What should I do? I am so lost. I don't know if I should talk to a therapist or what.
It isn't fair for him to expect you to leave your church without willing to leave his. Marriage is about compromise, but not just by one person.
Honestly, he sounds like he's being a bit of a bully right now. He might not realise it, but it's still the way things are.
I think a marriage therapist could be very helpful to both of you. If he refuses to go, a therapist would probably be helpful just to you, too, to help you figure out what you really want.
Until you figure these things out, I would strongly advise against even considering having children. You'd be bringing them into a tumultuous environment which isn't fair to anyone.
Your husband needs to respect you more. You need to respect yourself more. You don't need to suck it up and go to church with him. You need to inform him that you're sick of him being "right" all the time when you think your ideas are equally valid.
I hope you can work this out, I really do. But yes, I think a therapist might be a very good idea, and if nothing else, certainly wouldn't do any harm (if your husband objects, that's an answer in and of itself, no?).

Okay, I cant seem to think of this song. its driving me crazy! alright, Its a duet, and I THINK its a duet with Michele Branch and another guy, and its about them breaking up, i can only recall one line, and its only roughly accurate, something to the effect of "I cant stare at your picture next to my bed I'm while sleeping with him" I know thats a horrible quote, totally messed up, but pplease, I LOVE that song and I cant remember anything about it!!
I believe you're thinking about "Picture," by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/The-Picture-feat-Kid-Rock-lyrics-Sheryl-Crow/FB98C6ED39DEB76D48256C6E002DC5E4

Does anyone know any places to meet guys? Im 18F
There are plenty of places to meet guys, but the best thing to do is probably to join a club or get involved with an activity that you're interested in. Having things in common with someone else makes it a lot easier to get to know them, and it brings you into contact with people you might otherwise have never met.
Volunteering is a good way too. It's sort of related to what I mentioned, but I would think you're also more likely to find genuinely caring guy because you'll know he's not in it for money or anything else.
Basically, go places where you'll find people like you, or at least somewhat like you.
Good luck!

I'm 14/f and my sister is 19/f. It's ironic how I'm more mature about things than she is. Everytime break starts and she come home, whether it's Thanks Giving, Winter, Spring, Summer break, it's always disastrous and I can never relax.
My sister complains and gets mad over the smallest things. Over Thanks Giving Break, which was about 2 weeks for her, she got braces and oh my goodness. It was horrible. She would barely eat, she would complain, mop around, lock herself in her room for getting stupid braces. She was like "I can't eat. It takes 30minutes just to floss" blah blah..for 2 weeks and MORE. I must say that a 10 year old wouldn't whine so much. That really got my mom pissed off because she was buying stuff for my sister and making all these soft foods just for her to make her feel better and my sister just turned away complaining. And when my mom is mad, I have to watch what i do around her. When she's mad, she's likely to go off at anyone at anytime so it's like I always have to help her during breaks, watch what I say and do and I can't go and hang out with friends as much because my mom won't be in the mood to drive me. Then there's the problem with my sister getting pissed off at every single thing that doesn't go her way. If she wanted this and someone said no, she'll get pissed off, lock herself in her room for days, and get everyone in the house pissed off. I mean if she wanted to get , let's say a coffee from starbucks, and my mom said no, she'll get pissed off. If she wanted to help me practice violin and I decline NICELY (because, personally, she is horrible at teaching and when I tru to tell her that she's going too fast or something, she'll get pissed and say "Well you should've practiced more blah blah") she gets pissed off and locks herself in her room. This is getting really old and I don't knwo what to do about it. I can't talk to my sister because I'll just make it worse and if I talk to my mom or dad, my dad won't do much about it, and my mom will either just get pissy about that or talk to my sister which will still mak things worse. Any suggestions on what I should do to get her not get pissed so easily?
She might be a brat. Or she might be suffering from depression or another mental illness.
Before I was put on anti-depressants, I behaved in much the same way (although perhaps not as blatantly aggressive). The littlest things would bother me and I would go and lock myself in my room because I felt like such utter crap. And then when I thought about it later, I of course felt even worse for over-reacting.
There's not a whole lot you can do. But instead of talking about that, you might try asking her how she's feeling sometime, or initiating a conversation about something you two have in common. That way you'll hopefully at least have some pleasant interaction.
Try to be forgiving of her. What she's doing isn't right, but if it IS the result of mental illness, it isn't something she can entirely control.
I hope things work out for you.

Ever sence the kid i liked called me fat ive been eating less which i didnt think a problem, i told my friends thatim eating less and lost 5 pound in 2 weeks which is nothing but they flipped and now i dont feel like eating at all.I do though, but not alot just like little things and last night we went out to dinner a an all you can eat chinese place and when i got home i threw up, not intentionaltly just happened and i didnt eat that much.
whats wrong with me cause i always eat alot-always!im known for my size cause my friends love it.I weigh 193 pounds im a fatty no question asked! thats horrible considering im 14.its all in my belly so i started doing situps and running around and up and down stairs but became lightheaded so stopped.I dont want to eat cause ill gain weight but eating a banana and cottage cheese makes me full and i only eat like a spoon full before im like ugh im full.Which i would usually eat the holl container along with a sandwhich!!
why am i not eating and how can i make myself eat more without worring m ganna get fatter.
ps.dont be like ur not fat cause i am i know.
Take it from me--you don't want to lose weight this way. Because every time you receive a compliment or someone asks you how you lost weight or even mentions food, you'll feel like utter crap. You'll feel like you don't DESERVE the compliments and that you cheated.
Do it right. Eat, but eat healthy foods. Eat fruits and vegetables more often, but no food should be taboo. Exercise, but don't overdo it. If you feel lightheaded, you're not eating enough.
What you're doing right now is dangerous. Your body is eating your muscle rather than the food you should be putting into it.
I don't think you have an eating disorder yet. It doesn't sound like it's been going on for too long. But I think you need to get a handle on this thing now, before it gets worse. Things spiral quickly and that's not something you want.
Talk to a nutritionist, or at least your GP. They'll be able to guide you on a path to healthy weight loss.

okay so I have no eyebrows.
Can you dye the hair around your eyebrows to make you have fuller eyebrows?
I've seen it on America's Top Models and on Extreme Makeover, I believe? There's hair around your eyebrows that are not dark but there..
So if I go to a salon type place.. could they fix my eyebrows?
They are pencil thin and way too close to my eyes.
Even people have noticed it. I want my eyebrows to be up higher but hair only grows on the bottom ?
I'm not asking if I could dye my eyebrows.. just the light colored hair around it to make fuller eyebrows.. Yea?
While you research dyeing options, you might consider penciling in more of a brow. Find an eyeliner/brow pencil the same colour as your natural hair, or close to it, and trace over your eyebrow, as well as the edge right above and below it. This alone will make your eyebrows appear fuller, because it will fill in any little gaps in them.
It's not permanent, but then again neither is dyeing. I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but the person below provided a good link, and I thought I would supplement it with a quick fix in the meantime.

Okay.
15/f.
For the past year ive had thi s strange Obsession with weight.
I must weigh myself like 8 or more times a day.
And if i dont like what i see....
I wont eat for like the day or the next day sometimes.
Im not fat. At all.
Im pretty popualr.
I have a Gorgeous boyfriend!!!
And im not like stick skinny.
Im just not happy.
And I just hate this weight issue.
and i dont know what it is.
its not anorexia.
Or belemia.
I just have an issue.
what the hell do i do???
It sounds like ED-NOS to me--Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Basically, that means that it's not Anorexia or Bulimia because you don't fit the criteria (although an argument could be made for Bulimia) but that you still have an eating disorder, which can be every bit as serious as Anorexia and Bulimia.
I think you should at the very least talk to your doctor about it. Tell him or her what's been going on. You might get a recommendation to see a therapist or a nutritionist, or it might be something that the doctor feels he or she can keep under control.
But the longer you wait to get this resolved, the worse it will be. These things tend to spiral.
No one but a doctor can diagnose you, however you might want to start at http://something-fishy.org. They have information about different eating disorders as well as a screening test. Even if that comes back negative, though, this is obviously still affecting your life, and you NEED to get professional help.
Good luck. I wish you the best.

I was just wondering, because I know a lot of people make friends online and then meet up offline, and I've done it myself quite a few times.
Do you think that the type of forum or chat room you meet people on helps determine whether they are really who they say they are or how likely they are to be a paedophile?
For instance, do you think it's less likely that someone you've been talking to on a Christian chatroom/forum would be a paedophile than on a secular one?
Honestly? No.
My reasoning is simply that a paedophile might target those sites specifically BECAUSE people would tend to be less suspicious of them. I'm sure that not all of them would, but I wouldn't consider it any safer.
That said, several people I know online have my real address, and I've even met one of them. However, that had nothing to do with where I met them and everything to do with the fact that I talked to the majority of them for literally years. Add that to the fact that many of them know each other, and it's about as safe as it can be.
But no, I don't consider where I met them to be of any major influence over whether or not I trust them (although obviously if I ever saw them on a "I'm a murderer!" site, I'd run--but I don't think such a place exists. ;0))

ugh okay so im only 13 and i hate my life. like its not bad or anything but im always depressed and ive had a lot of stuff happen to me latly that i just cant handle and it doesnt take much to make me sad or mad and ive already tried to commit sucide but that didnt work and i want to run away so bad but i dont think i could go through with it and im just to confused as to wat to do becuz i dont wanna see a counserlour and i really dont think im depressed so i dont need to take any pills but is there something wrong with me and if so how can i fix it? this has been going on for way to long and i just want to give up and run away so bad
Rather than give you answers, I'm going to ask you a few more questions. Hopefully they'll help you come up with solutions yourself. Self-driven decisions and realisations are most effective, and are most likely to work.
First of all, why don't you want to see a counsellor? Have you heard bad things about them? Are you scared to talk about how you're feeling? Scared that they'll tell your mom and dad everything you say? There's nothing wrong with seeing a counsellor or therapist, and it doesn't mean you're crazy.
Second, what would running away solve? You'd still be stuck with the same thoughts and feelings, not to mention the added pressure of hiding and staying on the run. Not only that, but your friends and family would miss you and be worried sick.
Third--what gives you the right to decide if you need to take pills? I'm not trying to say it in a cruel manner, I'd simply like you to think about it. Do you have medical training? Have you take any psychiatric or medical courses? Are you familiar with the signs and diagnoses of Depression?
Finally, why, at 13, do you think you'll be miserable forever. I can sympathise, I really can. I've dealt with chronic depression (diagnosed) since I was very young. But life gets better. You've barely experienced it yet. I'm not the same person I was at thirteen, and nor, in seven years, will you be the same person.
I'm not trying to attack you. I'm trying to give you an outside perspective that isn't always easy to get. I hope you can take it for what it is, rather than thinking I don't care about you. I do, and that's why I feel compelled to ask the tough questions no one ever bothered to ask me until I was much older.
