I have a two year old son who is going on 3. He wont listen to me for anything. i try and talk to him calmly and explain what he did wrong, why he is in trouble, why he cant do this or that. he just doesnt listen to me at all. I ask him to stop doing something he still does I get up and tell him no he screams and will hit him self. I put him to bed and he just wont go to bed he gets up. I tell him to not open the front door he does anyways. I know this is a lot of two year olds but what do I do. I have raised him my self and i was young. I dont want to yell at him or pat his hand. I just want him to listen to me a little bit. thank you for your help. (link)
what if you try to give him less attention. like he could be seeking attention from you.im actually not a mother but i am a teacher and i do work with kids quite alot.
Try to yell at him less because the more you yell at him the less effective it will get. have you tried to calm approach?like calmly go up to him and say no sweety you cant do that and then give him a look,like a threatning look like one that he will know if he doesnt do what hes told hell get in big trouble.
try to even say no give him a stern look then walk away,come back after a few minutes if hes done what you dont want him to do then you grab him and put him in the naughty corner,or use the toy box technique.if hes naughty then you take away a toy that he really likes. be like since your being naughty and havent listened to me im taking this until iv seen youv behaved then take the toy and make sure that hes seen you take it. as much as he cries and yell you ignore and pay no attention to him at all no matter how much he screams and hits because thats just attention seeking...i think thats the best idea...hope this helps i mean you can even take these ideas and alter then to suit you, i mean if he wont stay in the naughty corner then put him in his room and say hes nnot allowed to play he can only come out when hes ready to listen to you etc...hope this helped

sorry its all i know


I went to the doctor and apparently I have been diagnosed with a form of cancer. I haven't gone back in or anything yet since they called me but I have an appointment next week. What is cancer exactly? Can someone explain it to me before I go in to see the doctor? I think if I know about it more then I'll relax about this... (link)
ok so Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to grow out of control. There are many kinds of cancer, but they all start because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells.

Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide faster to allow the person to grow. After the person becomes an adult, most cells divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells or to repair injuries.

Because cancer cells continue to grow and divide, they are different from normal cells. Instead of dying, cancer cells outlive normal cells and keep forming new abnormal cells. Another difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that cancer cells can invade (grow into) other tissues. Being able to grow out of control and to invade other tissues makes a cell a cancer cell.

Cells become cancer cells because of damage to DNA. DNA is in every cell and directs all its actions. Most of the time, when DNA gets damaged the cell can fix it. If the cell can’t repair the damage, the cell dies. In cancer cells the damaged DNA is not repaired, but the cell doesn’t die like it should. Instead, this cell goes on making new cells even though the body does not need them. These new cells will all have the same DNA damage as the first cell does.

i hope this hhelped :)



When i was young i rememember being sexually child abused a multiple of times it was by friends of the family, it must have started from when i was 5 to i was about 8 i mind being held down by this one man.then his foster brother used to do it too, the man that held me down on table to rape me still talks to my parents and his foster brother was murdered 10years ago and i cryed with glee more than greif at his funeral im now 23 and its been in my head for years ive never spoken to now, im so sure my sister was abused too tho im afraid to mention it too her even tho we are close because if it didnt happen to her then i no she will go straight to him and bring everyting up again, i dont want to cause conflict in my family as there has been enough tho i wish to a speak about it to clear my head, i find it hard to get close too people because of this and have never lasted long in a relationship, although i now have a gorg little girl of 10 motnhs and i am very protective over her i dont let her out of my site, i dont wish to be a mother than can't let her child have freedom, tho in this life u can never trust people around a child. (link)
ok i went through the samething except i was molestered not raped. it was by a man that worked at an arcade store.everytime my brothers went there hed take me to the backroom and do what he did that fuckn bastard.i was only 4 years of age so i didnt understand what he was doing. i grew up and understood that he molestered me.it got soo bad bottling it inside that i had major nager issues.i went to a consellor as hard as it was and the thing that i rmemeber the most was, the counsellor asked me "now what are you going to do for the future to protect that little girl inside you that was molestered.how will you prevent it from happening again, from that little girl being hurt again?".
from the sounds of it, you dont want to cause any trouble. you need to have hope that, that bastard will get what he deserves, maybe not in this life but he will.what if it happened to your sister and shes moved on and put it in the past?if you bring it up again it could just hurt her.
it happened and gosh im soo sorry it happened but you need to let it go and just tell yourself that from this day forward your going to protect that little girl inside you and the one you have now.
dont let that man ruin your life and make you not live it to the fullest because at the end of the day thats all you can do is just live and dont look back.
understand that what you went through was horrible but dont become over protective and not give your daughter a chance to live her life as best as possible.theres nothing telling you that whats happened to you will happen to her. protect her but dont suffercate her.

remember everything happens for a reason so if somethings ment to happen it will.everythings a risk so when you think shes old enough and able to protect herself then thats when you can slowly loosen up and let her have fun.if your over protective then it will just cause her to undermine you and do things inspite of what you tell her not to do.

im sooo sorry about what happened to you, i really am.theres nights where i still think about that fucker but theres a time in life you reach where theres better things to think about.
:) i hope i helped im here for you if you need me. dont hesitate to inbox me


It's been a difficult situation so I wanted to see what some anonymous people think about it. I'm a 21 year old guy and there's a girl that's been really kingly and wants to go out with me. I'm having trouble just avoiding her and I'm really not into her, but it seems she's kind of obsessed with me.
The problem is I've recently been spending time with her best friend which I'm really getting close to. I know her friend is interested, but I'm hesitant and she is also to get into a relationship because I don't want to be in the way of their friendship with each other.

I feel like bad to be messing up their friendship, but on the other hand I feel it's not my fault and I was never interested in the first girl and it should be ok to go out with whoever I want.

I want to know what people think of the situation and how they view it. Would you try not to cause a bunch of conflict or just go with it and see what happens??
Thanks a bunch I appreciate it! (link)
k i was in a situation like this before but the thing is i was going out with a guy but he was too shy around me and we didnt talk then i met his best friend and we clicked.me and the guy broke up because there was nothing there and as i started to get to know the best friend we fell for eachother so we started dating.as soon as that happened it ruied the relationship between the two boys.the guy knew i didnt feel for him and stuff but because he still liked me he thought that it was wrong of his bestfriend to go for the same girl.for 6months it was a love tirnagle, the guy tried to break use up we would never get a chnce to be happy because there was a devide between the groups and ppl were taking sides...these r guys we re talking bout now with girls it can get really bitchy especially if shes obsessed with you. shes probibly told all her friends about you especially the best friend. the girl will be angry at her BF it might actually break their friendship up.do you want to be stuck in a love triangle like that where everytime you meet up with the girl you like, shell just complain about how her bestfriend is giving her shit for going out with you?then her friends will have opinions and take sides and see what the BF did was wrong bla bla do you really want that?? i mean maybe get the bf to talk to the girl thats obsessed with you and get her to ask if shed get angry if you two started dating and see what she says. over all i really dont think you should go there you know how girls can get over guys especially if shes obsessed with you


18/f
I actually don't know how to word this haha, so please bear with me.

I started to get a brownish discharge about 2-3 days ago. Sometimes there would be a reddish color to it, but usually it is nor. I have had regular periods and if it is on schedule, my next one should be next week.

I tried googling this, it came up with similar results but the cause was different. Most of the causes were based on birth control pills, STD/STIs, sexual activity, pregnancy, etc. I am not sexually active, nor have I ever had sex. Some answers to this question say stuff like: it's normal, it might be cervical cancer, an infection or something about dry blood and the uterine lining.

Advice on what is happening or what I should do would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance. (link)
sometimes this can happen right before your getting your period. the samething happened to me two weeks after i had my period and turned out it was because of stress i got an early period. you may get your period earlier than usual or it could happen because your soon due for a period..i wouldnt be too stressed about it but if it happens again next month id go to the doctor


GUYS OPINION (or girls it really doesnt matter)

do i sound hot??

5'6, blonde, blue eyes, 34b, long legs, slight tan, skinny, 104 lbs, hair is long and pin straight, long torso, flat stomach, normal sized ears eyes nose and mouth lol, thats all i can think of (link)
you sounds pretty hot to me lol and im a girl!


For weeks I have been iffy about even writing this.
I am young 18 and just got married in August. I am pregnant that is not why we got married but I think we rushed into it. We were planning the wedding already had my wedding dress before i found out I was Pregnant.
Sometimes I find myself regretting getting marred My reasons. I wanted to work days and go to school nights. It would be tough but id be able to better myself for me and my family he through a fit and didnt support me at all. told me either work or go to school but advises me to work because we need the money. Being pregnant I have my mood swings like most if we have an argument its all my fault he will yell at me and blame me then make me feel guilty by saying oh its always all my fault i forgot your so perfect. sometimes he makes im crap. If i feel nauses or sick at night or anything and he wants sex he pouts and acts like he is mad by not saying a workd until he gets it then goes to sleep. he goes hunting, fishing, baseball teams and tournaments etc. anything he wants and i dont argue about it i just let him.
I have asked a million times to look harder for a job. he works 2 days aweek at a sale barn doing something he likes i work full time on my swallon feet 40+ hours a week and come home exhausted and tired. its like he dont care he doesnt want to even try to look he put an app. in at burgerking one app.. in 5 weeks? we live at my dads. which i dont feel is save but dont have a choice. hes lazy
and to top it off he always wants to spend money. i used to get food stamps which just stopped but hed want a gallon of tea every 2 days. go out and buy food he wants all the time because hes to lazy to cook one thing or wait for it to get done. as soon as he gets paid he goes and spends most of the money on garbage food and gets mad when i tell him i dont want it id rather eat food i cook at home.
I love my husband to death trust me and want to work things out but i dont know what to do i talk to him about it and itslike it is in one ear and out the other. (link)
sounds like your husband is taking you for granted!what im gathering is that you seem to be taking the pushing around that he gives you. you need to start marking your teritory showing him whos boss.its for the good of you and your baby!tell him how you feel and get really angry about it. say if you dont push your game up then your walking out!i mean whats he doing for you?nothing your the one working your the one growing a baby inside you your the one doing everything.maybe even open your own bank account. you need to be safe then sorry. just go to the bank ask to open an account under your name and tell them not to send you statements to your house and just do online banking..if hes going to blow that money over crap then you need to prepare yourself!


if a boy ejaculated, say, on your lower stomach (like above pubic hair line) is it likely to get pregnant? also, say i had semen on my hand before but it dried out and then i quickly touched down there for like a second, should i be worried? i am wondering whether sperm can like swim towards the vagina when it lands somewhere like the stomach of thigh. (link)
na dont be worried about it, it wouldnt be able to swim, unless he ejaculated in you or ejaculated in a pool with you in it then the sperm cant swim but if you have sperm on your hands and poke your silk it is a risk but since it dried i doubt its a high risk


I'm so depressed.I can't bear it anymore. I've donea lot of research but it's not helping me.

What's other ways I can treat/better my depression without anti-depressants or therapy.
(link)
why are you depressed?the first thing to overcome depression is to trigger whats causing it. if you dont know what it is then how can you help yourself?
talk about how you feel to someone,i dont mind im a good listner.
Or you can write how you feel in a book and even rip up the pages, youll feel batter after. another thing is do the things that make you happy. dont lock yourself up in your room all the time its no good. try hanging out with friends and family and those true people that really happy you laugh and forget. keep yourself busy and dont think about being sad just think about good times.before you go to bed think about 2 or 3 things that made you happyand just remind yourself of them...remember if you want to talk im here just inbox me:)


im a male
how do i get a flat stomach??? fast? (link)
go for heapsa sprints and lunges and squats. id tell you to drink protien shakes but the risk is that if you stop working out your muscle will turn to fat. make sure your eating healthy as well as exercising. be careful with the proportion of food intake because if you over eat then all that exercise will go to waste.

to work your abdominals do push ups and crunches but running will help alot. dont just jog get your whole body working so move your arms and move your waiste with it aswell


i am a seventeen year old girl, and i have a girlfriend. she's my first girlfriend, and right now i'm not so sure about my sexuality anymore. i thought i was bi; maybe i was just bi curious. anyways i have landed myself in a situation. the thing is, i think i might be straight after all. this whole thing is different for me, and maybe she might not be the girl for me. she's really awesome though, and if i break up with her, i want there to be someone there for her to fall back on. hopefully she and i can remain friends afterwards. i'm not so sure i have the heart to break up with her; i don't want to hurt her. i do love her; just i think it's more in a friends kind of way. i am attracted to girls, but i think a man is more compatable for me. i don't know what i should do, or where i should start. (link)
you should explain this to her. just ask her not to get angry about it because your just as confused about the whole thing. tell her that you do love her but not sure if a girlfriend is right for you. try going for a break say because you want to understand who you are.

every break up is hard but itll be harder being in a relationship that your not sure of. explain to her how you feel because itll hurt her more that your not sharing how you feel with her.


Okay, deep breaths as I type this out.
It's very long, but I felt I needed to give all the facts.

16/f
I'd been best friends with this guy since we were seven. We were crazy close. We'd talk about anything and everything, always be around each other, it got to the point where when I went someplace without him, I felt like I was forgetting something. And people would always ask whenever I got somewhere "Hey, where's John?"

Well, you know how things go. We were so connected to each other on a level much deeper than anything you hear teens talking about, that pretty soon we fell in love and crossed that line. And then we REALLY were inseparable. It was so easy, everything was easy. And I loved him. God I loved him so much.

Last year though, everything changed. One of my friends got into a little bit of trouble, and ended up pulling me down with her, not intentionally. She got wasted at a party and didn't want to call her parents, and so she called me. I went to pick her up even though I was only on my permit which was stupid of me, and we got pulled over by the police because I was driving a little fast. He saw my friend, and he also saw an open bottle of beer in her hand. The final blow was when he went to check my license.

I live in a small town: word gets around. And the rumors twist out of control. John's father heard about this mess, but he heard it as: I had been drinking and driving, and I was totally wasted that night, going for a reckless joyride around town. Which was not the case.

I told John the truth and I told his dad the truth, but his dad wouldn't listen to me. His dad has never really liked me for some reason. I was thinking it was because I always had pulled away his son from him, you know, because John spent so much time with me. =\

His dad is a very religious person, very moral and stuff. He doesn't drink or smoke and since his wife died I don't even think he's had sex. And he doesn't ever want John to drink or smoke or any of that stuff either. So upon hearing about that misunderstanding of mine, he forbade John to see me anymore.

You can imagine how devastated I was. I'm barred from seeing John, the guy I'm in love with, my soulmate. I was in such misery, and when I'd be in misery, I'd talk to John. But he wasn't allowed.

But the real hurt came about a week after his father laid down the law, saying I was a bad influence. I caught John at the grocery store downtown and I walked up to him to give him a hug and just have a moment with him, because there were no parents around. But he just looked at me, blankly and turned and walked away before I could reach him. There was no hurt in his eyes or anything. Just a blank stare, nothing like the way he used to look at me.

Another two weeks passed and he had been on a few dates with this girl from our church, well his church now. I don't go to church anymore.

It's been about a year since I've spoken to him, and the only time I ever see him is glimpses of him around town. And we've drifted so far away that sometimes I can't even remember what it was that made us so close.

Okay, deep breaths.

Saturday when I got home from school I had a message waiting for me. It was a friend of mine telling me know that John had been involved in a really bad car accident. He'd damaged his spinal chord and he probably won't be able to walk anymore.

You know that feeling when the world comes to a stop? Here's this boy, my first love who at one point in my life I couldn't breathe without, and now all of a sudden he's hurt, really hurt. And I just can't wrap my mind around it.

It's been so long since we talked. And I'd finally moved on from him, stopped hating him, but never started loving him again. He hadn't even crossed my mind in a month or so. And the whole 10 months I spent trying to get over him, I was thinking about how much I hated him for killing me inside. How much I wanted him to hurt. How much I just wanted to get even with the way he broke me. Did I do this to him? My first thought.

I haven't been able to concentrate all week. I'm sick with grief and fear about what might happen to him. What did happen to him. I can't wrap my mind around it and I'm feeling so confused.

My mind keeps telling me that this is a person who hurt you and the warning flag goes up and says, "You shouldn't hurt this much. Yes, it's bad that he got hurt, but you don't even know him anymore. So just relax, pray and push through."

Then the other side of it, my heart is telling me that old feelings never go away and it's okay to suddenly know that the connection is still there. There's so much running through my mind right now that I can't sort through. It's too heavy. All of it is just way too heavy.

I'm in shock, and I'm being selfish I know I am because here's John, hurt in a hospital bed, and I'll I can think of his my pain and grief.

My friend is taking me to visit him on Sunday. We haven't seen each other in so long, and all that deep history between us...I don't know what to say to him or what to do.
What do you say to a person in this position who once meant everything to you? I don't know what and I don't know how to process all these feelings.

Please, advice. Of any kind. (link)
omg!you know as i was reading this i was reminded by the twighlight story its very similar in a way.
im soo sad this happened to you. jusy know you have my full support!

when you go there try not to be so nervous just walk in and smile. he may tell you to go away because he might not want you to see him in the state hes in but dont walk away because right now he probibly needs you more than anything. remember he loved you just as much as you loved him and he probibly never forgot it.

I want you to have hope and not blame yourself for anything. let the past go and take the future as it comes. my brother was in a very bad car accident where two people died one of them being my half brother. my full brother broke his arms legs pelvis and the list goes on he needed 9opperations and its a miracle he can walk again. the doctors thought he was going to be paralyzed but he was determined to start walking again. 2 years have passed and he can walk run anything,miracles can happen.

if your going to the hospital take some magazines for him to read because it gets really boring there. even take some food for him because hospital food is disgusting! That can even be a convo starter "so umm i bought you some books to read. and i herd hospital food tasted like dog food so i bought you something nice to eat"

just prepare yourself to be rejected the first time but be strong and stay with him. say your not going anywhere because theres no where else youd want to be than next to him.

i hope he has a full recovery and hope this helped :)


im 16/m

thers this girl who ive known for like a week. we've been talking alot and everything is going good, but i dont know how she really feels about me,rigt now its just chill.

but homecoming is like in 2 weeks...i asked her if she was going, but she said that she might be busy on that day, but for some reason i dont wanna let that stop me. i dont wanna give up.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? (link)
yeah as the other person said take the risk!!if she says no then no worries you just move on. get to know her more and when the time is right ask her. maybe even make it special seeing as its homecoming.does she have a locker?maybe you can make a card saying Will you be my homecoming queen and attach a rose to it, girls love that sorta stuff unless shes like a hardout tomboy. make it special if she sees you care and genuinely want to go with her then i dont see how she can say no..


its my brothers 17th birthday coming up october 8th. i was wondering what should we do for him? he is a teenager so we need cool ideas. he doesnt know what he wants to do-thats why we need ideas! like for food, a theme, anything! thanks! (link)
you can have a superheroe and villian theme if you liked. or you could have a party with heapsa glow in the dark stuff i dont know what youd call it but you can buy glow in the dark paint and paint your T shirts and get glow sticks etc. Or you can have a tourch party like everything is pitch black and all you have is a torch. no ones picky with food just have heaps of finger foods and chips and sandwiches etc. make sure youve got a really good system and let your neighbours know that youll be having a party before the night starts or else theyl complain.


So I am bi sexual and I am a girl and im in a relationship with another girl. Well we have decided to move in together and I am so ready but scared because one my mom dont know I am with a girl or moving out whats she gonna think when she finds out I am moving in with a girl im dating? what should I do? (link)
is your mum open minded?usually parents are never ready to hear that their daughter is bisexual. it will come as a shock to them.im not sure if its a good idea to bombard her with all this at once. maybe you can just tell her your moving in with your friend and later on once youve moved in and settled down you and your girlfriend can both see her and tell her the great news.

when you tell her your moving out maybe you want to cook her dinner and make sure you talk to her at a time where she wont get interrupted, thats why i said over dinner might be good because thats a really good seen to socialise. just ask her not to get angry and before hand make sure youve planned out everything your going to say to her. tell her that you need your space and you think your ready to move out with your friend.

When your ready to tell her about your gf go to her place and have a cup of tea sit together have a chat with eachother so she gets to know your gf and after youve had time to get to know one another you can tell her about your knews.


15/f
okay, so i got my period when i was 13, but ever since then i haven't been able to figure out when my periods comes. when i do realise that i have my period, itf often around the same time as my mom. but then when she gets it, if often don't. i had it for the past couple of days. i really didn't pay any attention in health class and stuff when they taught us this. ho long do periods usually last? can someone give me a link explaining the period cycle, but not in bio terms, in human terms, ya know? thanks! (link)
heeeey k well next time you get your period make sure you know the date you get your period on because on that date, you should get your period 21 to 45days later usually if your regualr then its 28days from the day you got your period. if your not regular yet dont worry because as you get older you become more regular
bleeding can last from 1 to 8days but on average it can last 4-5days but no more than 8days


im 16 and a chick, and have not had sex as far as i know. as of 2 or so days ago, i have been having brown spotting. its dark and there is usually a little left on the tissue after i wipe. im about 2 weeks out of my last period and am not due for my next one for another 2 weeks. Im just really scared as to what it could be. i want to aviod going to the doctor or talking to my parents about it for as long as i can. i dont think its pregnancy because i havnt had sex yet, although i have fooled around with stuff like getting fingered. oh also if it helps i have had my period for about 3-4 years. please if you know what this is please help! thank you in advance! (link)
hey i had the same problem last month and it turned out to be an early period. sometimes this happens due to stress or the foods your eating. Brown bread can do that to you so if your eating alot of brown bread then its a possibility. dont stress about it yet its not common but it can happen...if it happens next month then see a doctor
