My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.

I'm a 20 year old bisexual female and I work as a waitress. A girl just got hired recently and she is gorgeous! She seems really sweet and I can't stop thinking of her. However, I don't know if she's into girls and I'm not sure how to approach her. I don't go around talking about my sexuality but I definitely don't try to hide it either. It's harder than asking out a girl that I already know is bisexual or a lesbian. I'm afraid that if she's not into girls, it will make her uncomfortable. How do I let her know that I like her in that way?
Not ever being in this position I'm not sure just how to go about this.
Logic tells me, I rely on logic quite a bit, that you might want to try being friends with her first. Get to know her, not try to get sexual with her until you know her better.
I would think as you get to know each other better you could start to drop subtle hints about you own sexuality. Something like the two of you are out and you see a good looking girl, you might say something to the effect of how good looking that girl is. You do that and maybe some other subtle things, often enough, she might ask you if you are a lesbian or bisexual. Then the door is open to for you to answer her see what she says in response.
That's the best I can think of right now. Hope it helps.
So, my period is really heavy to the point where I have to use super plus tampons and change them every hour. Classes at my school are an hour and 30 minutes long. So, every day I have to go to the bathroom at least once in each class. For some reason, my period never stops. By not stopping, I mean every day for at least 365 days, I have had to use a tampon every hour. It's been an entire year of having to change tampons, and dealing with the intense cramps.
I'm not sure how to excuse myself from class. Sometimes I become suddenly aware that I need to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW, and this often happens during a lecture. My teachers have asked me why I need to use the restroom so much, and are concerned that I am missing too much valuable class time. I don't want to lie, so how should I approach telling them? And, how do I avoid the strange looks my classmates give me?
Having a period for 365 days a year is not normal. You should see a gynecologist immediately.
As for your teachers. If it embarrasses you to talk to them directly and you are not in high school I would suggest you just write them a note and explain why you need to use the restroom so often. If you are still in High School you have other options.
1. Talk to the school nurse and ask her to talk to your teachers.
2. Talk to your principal or vice-principal; one may be a woman and you may be more comfortable talking to another female. Tell her or him what the problem is and ask her or him to speak to your teachers.
These two options relieve you from telling and or taking to each individual teacher.
3. Ask you mother to write a note to each of you teachers. Of course this means telling your mother what is going on. Which if you have not already done so I suggest you do. As I've said there is something not right that requires a doctor's attention.
I know going to see a doctor probably has you petrified for what you may find out. You are probably thinking the worst case scenario which would be normal as all of us do. Fact is most of the time worst case scenarios are not the problem. They can become the problem if you do not see a doctor and have whatever is wrong checked out and corrected.
If you are in college go to the campus medical facility TODAY. If you're in high school talk to mom TODAY and have her make an appointment with a gynecologist immediately and find out why this is happening to you.
Since you have not said why this is happening I and others are going to assume you have not seen a doctor and that mom is not aware of this problem. This is why are recommendations are what they are.
F/20
Lately my life has been weighing me down, my fathet is on his death bed, I get treated like crap at work, and I just stress continuosly about it. It has taken it's emotional toll on me. I have a wonderful boyfriend who is 22, he has a little boy whom I adore, we have been together 2 1/2 years and I couldn't find someone who treats me better. However lately I just feel so distant and numb, at work everyday I get yelled at and told I will be replaced, however there is this guy who helps me out all the time, very sweet and cute, I can tell he likes me and my mimd starts to wander. I try and shut it off. I want to resist, I only love my boyfriend and his little boy. I pretty much have a family and it scares me. The only reason I even manage to get up for work is knowing I get to hang out with this guy at work. I just want to know what I can do to block this out. I love the one I am with but given my current emotional state I can't keep myself under control. Any advice? I want this feeling to go away.
Stress will do strange things to you and will adversely affect not only how well you work but your production as well. If your supervisors are not aware of what is happening at home then you do need to tell them.
The stress of the imminent death of a parent is real and very demoralizing. For most of us we would rather be anyplace else generally with our parent, then at work. Most employers understand this and have programs in place to allow extra time off by allowing other employees to donate vacation time. To assign you to less stressful work or have someone take some of your work load. The only problem here is they cannot help you if you do not tell them what type of stress you are under outside of work.
As for this guy at work; I'll refer to him as a work husband. He's the guy that you depend upon at work to watch out for you, to be a rock for you when you need it. To be the shoulder to cry on when you need it. Right now because of all the stress you are under you need a work husband.
You realize that he is sweet and kind but you're in love with your boyfriend. As long as you can keep the two separate in your mind it is just the stress working on you. As the stress diminishes and it will you will not need your work husband as much as you need him now. Then your relationship will go back to where it was.
I would like to make one recommendation. That you get grief counseling. Grief is a stressor and you are suffering one of the first stages of grief. If your company has as part of you health benefit package and EAP program, most do. Contact the EAP program and they will help you find a counselor and will most likely pay for the first few visits in full.
Recently my mother and little sister has moved in with me and my boyfriend due to finicial struggle. My boyfriend and I talked about and both agreed that it would be okay for my mother and my sister to move in, until they get back on their feet. They have only been here 3 days and its not going great. My boyfriend is constantly complainning about how they are too loud. I tell them to be quiet and they listen but if they talk above a whisper he starts banging the walls and grunting at them. I just don't know what to do. I will not have my sister and mother on the streets but I feel like my boyfriends anger is rising too much lately.
First: You are right in the way you feel towards you sister and mother.
Second: There is something else going on here with your boyfriend. I really can't say what it is but if there is ever going to be piece between the three of you and him you need to find out just what is bothering him. It may be something very simple and mundane. Like he is the type who likes to sit around in his shorts and watch TV but feels he can't because your mom and sister are now living with you?
It could be something just that simple. A small change to his routine that maybe you asked him to make, your mom may have asked him to make or he feels he needed to make. To find out you need to get him out of the apartment to someplace quiet where you two can talk and you can get him to open up to you. Without him telling you what his problem is you can't fix it or find a compromise that might work. If you don't do this or if he won't tell you what the problem is then your relationship is unfortunately headed down the drain pipe.
I can't say if he is being unreasonable without knowing what the problem truly is. What is unreasonable is to ask you mom and sister to walk on eggshells in their own home. Yes, for now this is their home and they should be allowed all the privileges, within reason of sharing your home.
I started my period last night while I was asleep and i got blood stains on my mattress and I used a wet soapy wash cloth to scrub most of the blood stains off my mattress like my mom told me to do but there is still a little bit of blood on my mattress what else can I try to use to get the blood stains off ?
I've found a product called simply green works well on all types of stains. e usually find this product along with another one called awesome orange in the Dollar Stores. The both work very well and they won't bleach your mattress as well some other products.
One suggestion I might make is to ask mom to purchase a mattress pad. They go on the mattress under your sheet. They are machine washable and they will protect your mattress from any stains like this. They also an extra layer of softness.
I am 16 years old and there are four residents in this house ; myself , my cousin , my sister and my grandmother , who is our guardian .
She has a job and works almost every day . Me my sis and my cousin are very mutch under weight . our bones are very visible . we get no allowance at all . the only thing we do receive , if we are lucky , is pocket change . our fridge is almost empty completely . i Dont understand . if she has a job and get paid , why are we starving . i got so used to being starving all the time . my cousin used to 'steal' food or money from my grandmother . i would do the same . i mean , hes only human and hes hungry .
we all go to sleep with empty bellies . my digestive system even slowed down . idk what to do .
i dont want to call the cops or anything but i will if i have to .
not only is lack of food a problem , but we barley have clothes -_- .
im tired of going through this . my hair falls out a little , too .
then she has the audacity to eat in her room by herself . are u kidding me . this is why i have an attitude . if she did her job than i wouldn't be this way . i cant even think straight .
everytime i get up , i fall right back down . i feel weak and brittle like a twig . i cant fit ANY of the clothes that i DO have , wich isnt even much by the way .
every month a check of $125 comes for me , and i dont get anything from her . i only have one pair of shoes and there is not even something as simple as milk or eggs in the fridge .
where does all this money go ? what is she hiding ?
I'm somewhat surprised that if you are so grossly underweight that one of your teachers have not said something to you. School though is one of the first places you start to ask for help.
Go up to any trusted teacher or school principal and tell them what you have told us. They will contact the appropriate agencies that will come and check on you. In the meantime the school will see to it that you at least get a good breakfasts and lunches while at school.
Another place you can go to is any Fire or Police station. These are safe havens for children. Tell the desk officer or fire fighters on duty what you have told us. They too will see to it that you are fed and that the proper agencies respond to checkout your home environment.
Based on what they find, which will be to look for food in the refrigerator and cupboard, a clean home, clean and serviceable clothing for you and your cousin and other things children require. Based on their findings they will take appropriate action to protect you.
There is of course one other thing you can do. If you feel sick, unsafe or just scared you can call 911 and help will be sent to you.
Will i be damned if i masrerbate
The short answer to your question is no. Masturbation, as long as it is not an all encompassing activity to the extent you do nothing else, is normal and healthy.
I cannot explain why in this day an age parents and others still tell their children these tales about masturbation. Specifically because according to recent surveys 85% of us masturbate. Your parents most likely masturbate alone or together.
When masturbating together it is called foreplay and is done to excite their partners prior to intercourse. Part of masturbation includes oral sex, fingering and hand jobs. When done as part of foreplay it is called mutual masturbation.
In some marriages one partner's sex drive is higher than their mates. Rather than cheat of their mate they will masturbate to satisfy themselves. There is nothing wrong with this.
There is nothing wrong with you masturbating. It is a safe way to release the sexual tension brought on by puberty. You cannot get pregnant from masturbating or get a girl pregnant while masturbating.(AS long as the boy does not ejaculate on the girls vagina if doing so together). You also get to explore your own sexuality while doing so by learning what your body likes as for as being touched.
So go ahead an masturbate. Just do so in your room with the door closed and locked, if possible so you are not disturbed. There is nothing worse than being disturbed in the middle of an orgasm.
Firstly I'm male age 20, my gf is 17. We have been together for 2 years now, back in high school when I was 18 and she was 15. We live in California, and have never had sex.
She has wanted to make love for a while now, but I have always been worried about getting in trouble. I was reading the laws on statutory rape and they say that if Im more than 3 years older than her I could go to jail if someone found out. And it doesnt help that her adoptive parents (who are emotionally and physically abusive towards her) dont like me.
I am technically a little more than 3 years older than her, but currently since Im 20 it seems like just 3 years and no one cares.
So I guess I want to know if the police would really take this seriously if her parents reported it, and if I would really go to jail (Im a nice guy and I care about her. Ive known her my whole life and would never want to hurt or manipulate her, but I know other people would think I was just because of the age thing.)
So what do you guys think? Is this really a big deal? Will I really be treated like a pedophile or something? And please dont tell me to just go out with girls my age. I want to get her away from her abusive parents when she turns 18. We both want to marry each other and have kids when we are older. It just sucks that we happened to be born a little too far apart...
Statutory Rape has nothing to do with sex. Just dating someone 3 years younger than you could cause you to be charged with statutory rape. What this has to do with is all about age of consent which is 18 in the state of California.
Now the police generally will not charge someone with statutory rape unless a complaint is filed or the person under the age of consent is very much younger than the older person. Example would be if you were stopped for a traffic reason an the officer asked her how old she was. If she were to be say 15 the Officer may feel obligated to detain or arrest you under the Statutory Rape statute. If she were to say I will be 18 next month or in two or three months the office would probably not be concerned. Though the officer would probably ask for proof of age.
Another crime you need to be aware of, here again someone needs to make a complaint, is the Federal Crime of violating the Mann Act. Not knowing where you live in California but having lived there for 3 years I spent many a weekend driving into Nevada. IF you and your girlfriend do cross state lines together then you are violating the Mann Act.
Once again the Mann Act assumes that sex is the reason you are crossing state lines it does not have to happen. The law is allowed under these laws to assume that sex has taken place or is the purpose of your travel.
My advice is this: While it is still dangerous for the two of you to be dating; her parent have not reported you. You have waited 2 years, I'm assuming, to have sex. Wait a few more months until she is of legal age then the two of you are free to do as you please. She can leave home, you two can marry or live together and travel across as many state lines as you please.
There is nothing her parents can say or do once she is 18. Hopefully she will have graduated high school by that time as being in high school does throw a monkey wrench into the mix as far as leaving home is concerned. If she were to leave home she would have to leave school and get a GED to complete High School.
Hey everyone! 14/f and i went to bed last night with a bit of tenderness and soreness in my left boob.. it bugged me all night. I woke up in the morning to have a shower and looked at what was causing the problem. (Sorry if this is weird and graphic) but a small peice of my nipple is sliced open and im not sure what to do.. like a tiny peice but it hurts like a biotch. To stop the problem, i took a bandaid and put it over y nipple to stop the peice from flapping open and shut and causing severe pain.. will this heal naturally? shouls i keep the bandaid over the wound?
You nipple should heal naturally. Keep it clean and keep it covered with a bandaid for a few days to see how it begins to heal.
If you cannot remember doing anything to cause the nipple to be cut and nothing in your bra's may have caused this. Then I suggest you let your doctor look at this. I would suggest you see your GYN. A nipple cracking open is a sign of dryness, like dry skin. I would think this is something your doctor would want to see an care for. Of course given your age you could also talk with mom.
Mom's first question is going to be; "what have you let some boy do to you." Expect it, don't get upset, especially if a boy has not played or sucked on your nipples. This is and will be a mom's natural reaction. As long as you are expecting her to react this way, you can be prepared to answer the question and do so calmly. Once you get past that question mom will calm down and look for the proper cause of the problem including whether you need to see a doctor.
My penis isnt as big as the the other kids in the locker room. Does size really matter? What can i do to make them stop making fun of me?

According to the latest Ansel Research Survey; the average male penis when erect is between 5.1 & 5.9 inches long.
Keep in mind that this is the average, the middle between the largest and the smallest, above the micro-penis (below 2 inches in length). The survey states that size varies based on age, time of day, level of excitement and ambient temperature.
What you are born with is what you have. There is no way to enhance, or enlarge a penis even with surgery. Penile surgery is usually done to assist those with erectile dysfunction when there is no other medical solution that will help.
Average Vagina Size
Relaxed
Length 3 1/2 to 4 inches
Diameter 1 Inch
Aroused
Length ("tented) 5 to 6 inches
Diameter 1 1/2 to 2 inches
As you can see by the size chart of the average female vagina. Any penis over 6 inches in length and 2 inches in girth is larger than the average vagina can easily accommodate. A larger penis will cause a woman with an average sized vagina pain during intercourse, especially if the male is not a thoughtful and considerate lover.
It is not the size of a flaccid penis that counts. When erect most will grow into the size of the average penis, which as the study shows is the size a vagina can easily accommodate.
There is an old saying: "It is a poor mechanic who blames his tools."What this means is it is not the tools that makes the mechanic but the man behind the tools that is the mechanic. If you are a kind an considerate lover the size of your penis will not matter to you mate.
By the way; "it is not the tools that makes the mechanic but the man behind the tools that is the mechanic," Is a great comeback for those that are teasing you. First they probably won't understand it. Second by not understanding it they won't know you just put the biggest put down on them that has ever been done to them.
hey,
i babysit these four kids and they never listen to me. what should i do? fromhelpless
The age of the children you baby sit for determines how you handle them. In a manner of speaking you have to get to them at their age level. Another thing to remember is that to a child a baby sister is like a substitute teacher in school they are, regardless of their age, going to test your limits.
If you do not know these children from the neighborhood you have to tell them upfront what your limits are, again in a manner of speaking. You tell them what your instructions are from their parents and you expect them to obey and what will happen if they do not.
An example of telling them what your limits are would be and this works for all age limits. If their bedtime is 8 o'clock you could tell them if they're good you might let them stay up a bit longer to watch a TV program. If they are not good they could end up in bed earlier than their normal bedtime. Why because their parent left you in charge. The same would be true if say one of the children is suppose to complete their homework before any TV. Reward for completing the task without you having to stand over them.
Have some things you can do with them. Arts and craft projects are always a good way to keep them busy and out of trouble. Where they are under your direct supervision as well.
The main thing for you is to realize that they know you are not mommy and they are going to test you. This is what children do, all children regardless of age. Your job is to be a tower of firmness, especially if this is the first time you are sitting with them. They have to learn you are in charge while mom and dad are away. That means you give time outs, you take away favorite toys and you take away TV and computer time. That is how parents punish wrongdoing. What you don't do is hit them or spank them.
what are the requirements needed to be a cosmetolegist?
I typed in the following question into the search engine I use, "Requirements to become a cosmetologist." It returned a number of sites to look at. the URL Below is the one I believe will answer all your questions.
I hope you find this helpful.

I've had sleep paralysis since I was young. There were shadows in my room but they never did anything, I believe 4 or 3 to be exact.
I'm 19 now and the sleep paralysis (I want to call it that because I don't want to psych myself out) had gotten worse. there was one where i was trying to nap and I can't move and I'm laying in somewhat of a feudal position. So I'm laying there trying to get out and notice a girl in a long green dress just pass me, her hair is red and curly but I only saw her pass quite quickly. I was able to get out of the paralysis soon after.
The recent second this has happened has gotten more, scary, I wake up unable to move and I'm lying on my side when all of a sudden I feel as if something is sitting on top of me holding me down. I try to move but it's very difficult because another...thing...is holding me as if it's spoofing me from the back. I was able to actually push whatever was on top of me off and it falls of my bedonto the floor. At this point I managed to move my body away from the second thing and crop down to catch the first and notice it has claws and runs away quickly. I then proceed to say the Our Father and pray to God but this second thing grabs me and starts screeching in my ear and once I know it, a black figured face puts it's hands on my face, and pulls its face to mine and dissapears. At that point I was able to wake up.
The most recent one just happened right now as I type this, So I wake up and realize I'm in a paralysis again, this time I feel something a suffocating me, so I close my eyes and start praying to God, and I hear a woman's voice screeching "NOOO!" And then I hear a mans voice, his mouth close to my ear laughing and then screeching. My body starts to shake and I start saying, "God please help me." Then I wake up. Just like that. I even have a scratch on my arm. I do not believe these are hallucinations & a LOT of people go through this. This has happened to me when I'm just laying down in my room awake. I've even heard growling when I was praying. Can someone please tell me I'm over my head...if I'm not, how do I make them or it stop?
I see a demon ion my house before too, but no one believes me. I pray to god & I cry but they don't go away. I can hear evil voices
Sleep paralysis is definitely not demonic or has anything to do with the devil. Read what I found below. That is what I believe is called an old wives tale.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia _Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete
muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It can occur at sleep onset or upon awakening, and it is often associated with terrifying visions (e.g., an intruder in the room), to which one is unable to react due to paralysis. It is believed to be a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams. Sleep paralysis has been linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, migraines, anxiety disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea; however, it can also occur in isolation.[1][2] When linked to another disorder, sleep paralysis commonly occurs in association with the neuromuscular disorder narcolepsy.

How do i know what type of guy is right for me i havent found mr right and im halfway through high school and had 1 true boyfriend the other 2 were not real just a scam to make people think that i had a boyfriend
Time for a little grandfatherly advice. since I am of that age I will try to impart some.
Rarely is high school the place you are going to find "Mr. Right" or your life partner. High school is a time to have fun to grow and mature and to learn. Not just to learn what is taught but to learn about yourself. A person can have many loves while in high school. In college you probably will have fewer loves and may even find "Mr. Right." For college is the place were you will mature and learn more about yourself and how to be on your own. How to trust your instincts and to be selective.
Today young people have a tendency to want to grow up to fast to do things before they are truly ready or mature enough to do them. I believe this why the divorce rate is the highest it has ever been.
Right now you need to concentrate on what you want in a life partner. Right now most of what you and other look at is the wrapping on the box, the good looks and sex appeal.
What you need to know is that good looks, sex and sex appeal will only go so far in life. One day you wake up and actually have to talk to one another and find out you have nothing in common. The sex was great but even that has worn off now.
Have you ever looked at a couple and ever wondered how those two ever got together. They got together because they were mature enough to look beyond the wrapping at the person underneath the skin. So what if the guy is not Captain of the football team. If the two of you can talk into all hours of the night without you have to fend him off of you. He is probably a far better candidate for Mr. Right than the Captain of the football team is.
In short what I'm trying to say is when looking for Mr. Right you need to use more than one sense. You need to use you mind, your heart and your eyes.
He throws a fit if you tell him no ice cream any hints. The mom does nothing cause he does the same thing every time i go over and the only way to get him to stop throwing a fit is to tell him he can have some but it doesnt feel right . Help me!
Stressed out babysitter
Stand your ground. He has learned that if he throws a fit he will get his way. The only way to stop this or break this habit is to allow him to have his fit. He will tire of the fit and stop on his own. He will probably rest and try again. Let it happen. Your job is to see to it that while he is having his fit he does not hurt himself or destroy anything.
I tried something that seemed to work most of the time with my son when he was young. When he had a fit, I got down on the floor with him and had a fit too. I'm not quite sure what he saw in me having a fit right along side of him though most of the time it did bring his fit to an abrupt halt. Maybe he saw how silly it looked to be rolling on the floor screaming or maybe it was the fact that I could scream louder than him. All I did was mimic what he was doing. Or may be he saw he was not getting the attention he wanted and decided he would try something else.
You could try what I did and it may work. Most important and as irritating as it may be; you must stand your ground. Let him have his fit. When he stops do not punish him for having a fit. Tell him to go play or if it is bed time just put him to bed. Losing his battle for whatever it is he wanted is punishment enough for now.
I've been married for 6 years to this great guy, but I know he's not the one I'm supposed to be with. I've been trying to decide for years whether or not I should stay or go. I have another guy I just started seeing that wants me and my children to move in with him. But he also knows I'm not ready for that move right now. He's great with me and my kids, he works and has time for us too.
My husband is always on his computer or sleeping, yes I understand he works 3rd shift but still he needs to spend time with us, but he's never going to change. What do I do? I am so confused and heartbroken over trying to figure this out.
It is hard for me to tell you to go ahead and throw in the towel on your marriage. I think your lonely and you probably have every right to be considering what you have written.
You are probably missing the intimacy and companionship of your marriage that for the moment you are finding in this other guy. Here again I can see your point and can even be understanding of it. But if you want my permission or our permission I can't see myself or anyone else giving it to you without first trying to work things out with your husband.
You say, "My husband is always on his computer or sleeping, yes I understand he works 3rd shift but still he needs to spend time with us, but he's never going to change."
What you don't say is that you and your husband have spoken about this or done anything to try and over come this." "You do not say that your husband is even aware that you are lonely and in need of the intimacy you two have shared in the past for that is what I believe you are saying.
You say he is a great guy and you have been married for six years and have children by him. To just up an walk out on him without trying to save your marriage or at least letting him know your unhappy would be terribly wrong.
We men tend to get into comfort zones. He's a great guy, a good provider and father who is failing at being the husband you had or want. You need to let him know this if you haven't already done so, which you haven't said.
My suggestion is before you throw in the towel on this marriage you and your husband need to talk. You may even need to bring in a disinterested third party such as a marriage counselor. If your husband still does not changes his ways and your are still unhappy you can at least say you tried.
I'm 20 years old and or bee seeing this guy... We kinda did it and he came inside me. I wasn't on my birth control and my period starts usually on the 28th or 30th of every month but I pretty sure it started on the 27th last month. I took plan b one step within 6 or 7 hours of the mishap. I'm scared and want to know if I would already possibly be pregnant or would I be safe from it since I too plan b one step and also my birth control?
There is no way to know for sure if you are safe or if you are pregnant. Taking the plan B pill within the time you did should have kept you safe. There is though a window of failure even when taken within the recommended time period.
The only way to know for certain if you are or are not pregnant is to take a home pregnancy test. Purchase a test kit and follow the package directions.
Note: In the future make sure even if you are on birth control, that your partner uses a condom. When I was young, decades ago the girls had a saying; "No rubber no lover," this was well before the AIDS problem.
This is even more important today for condoms are not only a good back up for your birth control being 85% effective in preventing pregnancy. They prevent the transmission of many STDS and the HIV/AIDS virus.
Remember if you and your partner have sex with out a condom you are having sex with every partner he has had unprotected sex with and they too have had unprotected sex with. It's your life make him use a condom or keep your clothes on.
I missed my period last month,i thought i was pregnant,i took a pregnancy test and it was negative,then i went to the doctor,i was diagnosed with bronchitis,then i explained that i have a problem with my periods then He put me on Trigestrel.. How will it help see my periods again?
Trigestrel is an inexpensive birth control pill sourced from Malaysia by the government. Birth control pills are used by doctors to regulate periods.
If this medication was prescribed by your family doctor you might want to get a second opinion from your gynecologist. While many of our medications are produced out of the country your gynecologist may have a better medication/birth control pill to treat your problem.
Family doctors are trained to know a little about everything. A gynecologist is trained to know the most about your reproductive system and therefore is the doctor best trained to deal with problems such as missed periods.
The use of birth control pills is common to regulate periods though sometimes the problem is deeper than regulating. I suggest you see a gynecologist since you say this is an on going problem.
I love life so much when I'm at college, I almost feel like it's too good to be true. At home, I barely have any friends and nothing to do. Here, I have THE most perfect, amazing friends, I'm studying the things I love and doing well in them, my apartment is beautiful, I get to party every weekend and love it, I'm starting to become prettier, etc. I've gone from hating my life at home to living a life at school that I wouldn't change any part of. I'm TERRIFIED that I will lose this happiness once I graduate this spring. The thought of losing all this is literally heartbreaking. I cry every time I think about it. My senior year so far has been perfect. With each passing day though, I panic at the fact that it's one day closer to the end. Part of me feels like life is just downhill from age 21. I'm so happy I feel like it can't get better than this. Getting older is portrayed as such a bad thing and it's making me worried. At home, my life is gray and here it is in HD color. I cannot bear the thought of losing all these friends and amazing people and activities. Tell there's life after college. Tell me I can still be happy once this dreamlike experience is over. Is it enjoyable to work and support yourself? Stories of your personal experiences would help. Also, how can I work on living in the moment, rather than always in anticipation?
First of all relax and stop being fearful of tomorrow. What you are experiencing at the moment is perfectly normal for you are about to fully enter the adult world.
Some of the friends you have made at college will remain life long friends. You will make new friends wherever life takes you. Your future apartment(s) and homes will always be beautiful because they will be yours and you will decorate them to please you. You will still party but maybe not so hard or so often once you leave college for you won't need to do so to relieve the stress you are under.
Partying is a way of stress relief as well as fun. Once you leave college and are working you may want to experience other ways of relaxing and enjoying the company of other people. What is happening by this is called the continuing of the maturing process. Even at my advanced age as I settle into my retirement years I continue to mature and my values change.
We continue to mature and our vales continue to change right up to the day we die. I will admit there are some people that get stuck at a certain point in life. Those people I believe miss out on a lot in life. For my generation it is those people who have never left the 60's. The 60's was a great period of time but it's over and most of us have matured and moved on.
I would say for right now you should be focusing on three things:
1. Completing you final year of college.
2. Preparing to enter the work force. More on this below.
3. Just as important as 1 and 2 is to enjoy to the fullest your final year of college but not to the extent that you school work suffers.
As for "Preparing to enter the work force." You mentions something about returning home. With proper preparation nothing says you have to return home or live with your parents if you do return to where your parents live.
You should be spending time now looking for employment in the career field you have been studying for or a related field to it. If you spent any summers interning you start by sending resume's to those company's asking for a job.
May colleges hold job fairs where recruiters from different employers come to campus to interview and hire. You should plan on attending those job fairs. Of course there may be companies out there that you would want to work for. Send these companies a resume as well.
If you have never written a resume or a letter to a company ask for help at the college job office. Employers understand that college students do not have much of a work history. What we look for then is your academic history. What classes you took in high school and college. Any extra curricular activities you may have participated in. You would of course list any internships you had and your summer or part time employment.
In your cover letter you should be brief as to the type of position you want and why you are looking to work for them. The date of graduation and when you will be available to start work.
IF you start doing this now you will be better prepared to leave college and smoothly transition into the next phase of your life. I found out long ago that life is less scary if you have goals and a plan.
Goals and planning are a road map that you follow. You may as you follow your plan decide to take a detour to see if another road is more interesting. This is fine this is what life is all about. As long as you have a goal to obtain and a plan to get there you will be find.
My motto that has stood me well is this. "The only person that I have to be better than tomorrow is the person I am today." Think about it and your more than welcome to borrow my motto.

You really should call 911 and go to the hospital. Besides having a really bad stomach ache you could, from the Advil, done damage to your liver. This needs to be checked out by a doctor.
