What is tss? Just Wondering...
Toxic Shock Syndrome - you can get it from leaving a tampon in too long .. and it *can* be fatal. It's VERY rare, though. I think they explain it in the tampon box, but I'm not sure.
how much more likely are you to get cancer if you drink diet soda??
Haha, everything gives you cancer now .. don't worry about it =) Unless you drink like, 34643643 sodas a day, I don't think you'll have any problem
i'm going to be a freshman, and just got my braces off, and my teeth are kinda yellow. i heard that some of the teeth-whitening products don't really work & are too expensive. what should i do?! i can't go to highschool looking like this! please help!
Getting them done at the dentist is usually the best way to go -- they can also give you custom trays to use, but that's pretty pricey too. Try the rembrant 2-hour white stuff .. they're trays, and I think you wear them for 2O minute increments until your teeth are as white as you want them. It's only like, 2O bucks, too. I've never tried it, but it seems like it'd work pretty well. I've also heard good things about whitestrips. You could also get a GOOD whitening toothpaste, and that can help a lot -- and if you use something else to whiten them, use a whitening toothpaste afterwards so that they don't get discolored again.

Nobody's going to make fun of you for eating a salad or anything healthy! Don't worry about what other people think + do it for you =) It's great that you want to start eating healthier!
What are some good snacks? I'm trying to stay away from packaged snacks or sugary snacks.
Fruit, veggies, mini bagels, yogurt, crackers // crackers + cheese
okay i always get hungary and i always end up chosing sweets or salty things to eat...is there sumthing more healthier and that will hold longer bcuz i knoe salads r healthy but i mean you get hungry like 10 minutes later.
please help ssoooooon b4 i get hungary again!
Drink more water -- it fills you up, and SO often people mistake thirst for hunger. Hmm .. when I eat a salad, I'm full for a long time, but I guess it's different for different people. Try adding different things to your salad. Pretzels aren't a terrible snack if you want something salty, and try fruit when you want something sweet. Carrot sticks + things like that also make good snacks.
are carrots good 4 u
Yep =)
How do you de-stress?? I have been having the worst stressful days and I have been having horrible headaches as a result. I need to destress.
It sounds corny, but you can try one of those relaxation tapes. Just go in your room + turn the lights off and lay on your bed + listen to it, they can really help =) Try aromatherapy candles // bead things // whatever, they're supposed to help.
Some other ideas:
- get a massage
- spend a day at the spa
- go for a run // walk [[ whatever you prefer ]]
- play with a pet
- watch some movies
- take a break + just hang out with friends
Can too many fruits a day be bad for you. I am always finding myself picking up an orange and eating it as a snack. I end up eating about twice as many as ur supposed to. lyk 8-10 a day.
Nah, it's WAY better than snacking on chips + chocolate and all that.
okay, this is going to sound weird i think but i just wanted to see how ppl would react -
a lot of times when i feel like i've overeaten, i throw up but i NEVER stick my finger down my throat, so obviously it's only when i've eaten too much....it just makes me feel less grossed out...and i'm perfectly fine - trust me! i'm not just saying that because "i don't realize what i'm doing" - i kno a lot about eating disorders and i've never lost any weight from doing this, and it's not something i'm obsessed with after every bit of food that enters my mouth -- i just wanted to kno if nebody else did this or thinks that it's still unhealthy even tho i KNOW i don't have a problem - once again, i'm not just saying that! lol
Well, if you throw up when you eat too much, maybe you should stop overeating? Um, yeah. And it's not like you only have an eating disorder if you stick your finger down your throat to throw up -- there ARE other ways to do it. I don't know what to tell you, but it IS unhealthy, whether you choose to throw up or not. And overeating isn't great for you either -- that can be an eating disorder in itself.
what do they do when you get a sports physical? anything with your privates?
When I got my last one, they just poked at me a lot *lol*, they didn't really do anything sports related, but when I went today, they did this: Check weight + height, vision, + blood pressure, and then they move your joints around and test for flexibility and strength, then they did all the heart stuff, + that was it. For girls, they don't do anything in any private areas .. for guys, they usually do like, one little thing.
I heard that if you eat 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 big its better for you. Any truth to this?
Different things are better for different people .. I could never manage 6 meals a day -- I barely have the time // appetite for one or two, but for some people, eating 5-6 small meals a day is better. I think it's whatever works for you.

Hey i have only gotten my period 2wice and usually get my period for 7 days and this time it is stopping today and its the 3rd day!what is happening?
It's normal, it'll be irregular for a looooooong time.
I am a very skinny girl, but sometimes when I am anxious or I have eaten to much or I eat alot of sugar or fatty things I make myself throw up. I don't throw up alot of food, though and I don't think that I've gotten to the point where I am a bulimic. I know that it's really not healthy though, so I haven't done it in about six weeks but I always want to, and I feel like Im on the verge. I really don't want to talk to anyone at home about it b/c I don't want to go to rehab because the problem isn't that serious. What do I do?
If you feel like you want to do it, I'd say just talk to someone [[ a counselor, anyone you trust + think could help you out ]] about it. They're not going to hospitalize you or anything unless you do it on a regular basis + you're super unhealthy. You just need to talk it out and figure out a way to keep yourself from doing it any more.
omg ok i have to get my wisdom teeth pulled! SOMEONE PLEASEE answer...how bad does it hurt? are you awake? and how long is your mouth all swollen? im really scared.. i ABSOLUTELY hate the dentist..and im scared to go.. but im more worried about the ?'sz i asked..soo please answer! p.s i rate!
You'll usually be asleep when they do it -- and they usually give you vicodin or something afterwards, so you probably won't really be all there for a few days. It usually won't be swollen for too long. I'm sure you'll be fine, I haven't heard of anyone being in like, excruciating pain or anything, so I really don't think it'll be THAT bad, I mean, it's not going to be fun, but it probably won't feel like you got run over by a semi or anything =)
ok well yeaterday at about like 2a.m. I went driving in town with my cuzine and her older bro (he's only 17) he drove us around and well he was smoking pot in the car so I got totally nervous and I didn't know what to do so I just staid in the car worring my butt off and when I got home at around 10 my dad smelt the pot and asked me if I smoked but I didn't pin it on my cuz did I do the right thing? I rate high:D
Yeah, I think it's right, I mean, it's what I would've done. .. I don't think I could rat someone else out. Just tell your dad you were with some people that were smoking it, but you didn't. He can always have you tested if he doesn't believe it.
Hey Girl What Kind Of Tannin stuff do ya use? Ive tryed everythin but nothing seems ta work!
I don't use fake tanning stuff, because, well, that usually doesn't turn out so well, but for regular tanning, I use Australian Gold Iced Creme Accelerator - dark tanning formula. It works good for me. Aaand you can get at pretty much anywhere that has tanning beds. [[ you don't have to just use it in the beds -- you can use it to tan outside too ]] Remember you're not going to get super tan immediately, it takes a little while!
I mite try out for baskbetball or sum sport, so in a physical, do they have to do anythin w/ur private parts or down below? thanks
For girls, nope; for guys, usually.
