hi! my grandma had bone problems and i don't know how to spell what she had but you probably know what i mean right? in school they were talking about the same thing in health class and she said that if we ate calcium rich foods we would not get that disiease. great but how much milk and cheese can you eat?! are there any other foods that have calcium but maybe don't make you so fat?
Osteoporosis is something that most women are prone to when they\'re older, whether they eat a lot of calcium rich foods now or not. Its a part of menopause and a natural life cycle. Foods rich in calcium that are healthy are broccoli and kale. You can easily research lots of vegetables with calcium in it. I would say eat as much as you can now while you\'re young and healthy, but your body\'s ability to process the calcium will not be as good as it is today, but you can always start by maintaining good health now so your body processes calcium well for as long as possible.

i am 13 and my boyfriend is 19. he wants to have sex with me ? what should i do ?
I highly advise against relationships with such a big age difference. Also, if you live in the US, it would be considered illegal for him to have sex with you.
I advise against these relationships because guys at that age, they are not mature enough to handle themselves in very strong relationships and the fact that you\'re 13, that\'s not something he would go around announcing to his friends and family. Ask yourself if his friends know about your relationship, or any one you know he is close to. Chances are, if you are not a part of his life outside of the moments you share, he is not in a relationship with u and only using you for sex. Don\'t make a decision that you will regret later.
And the fact that you chose to ask this question goes to show that you have concerns about this.

Okay so I have been with my boyfriend for almost three months and, in my mind, things have seemed to be going okay. I'm 16 he's 15 and this is the first relationship for both of us, we're also both quite shy people so the relationship is moving quite slowly. We see each other most days at school and we've met up a few times at weekends and we don't text an awful lot. People say that we can't really class ourselves as being in a relationship and that we're being pathetic. I can kind of see what they're saying seeing as we don't make any physical contact with each other - we've awkwardly hugged once but that's as far as we've got.
I wouldn't mind moving things on a bit faster and being in contact with him more but I'm not really sure how to go about it. I have social anxiety so I am constantly scared of saying something wrong or annoying him by texting him too much.
Also, my best friend told me the other day that she and this other boy basically forced my boyfriend into asking me out. I had no idea about this now I'm worried that maybe he didn't have any intention of asking me out and he only did it to stop people bothering him.
On the other hand, he has bought me really nice presents for Christmas, Valentines Day and my birthday and always responds very quickly and positively whenever I suggest we meet up. He spends time with me at school rather than his friends and always seems to be happy spending time with me.
Basically I'm confused - I want a relationship that people don't class as pathetic but I don't know if that's what he wants.
I know its tough thinking he wasn\'t that into you if you think he didn\'t want to ask you out on his own first but dont let that get to you. The fact that he has asked u and has done all those nice things definitely makes up for it. No one can force another to ask someone out. He did it because he wanted to. Yes, he did get a little push but that\'s perfectly okay because maybe he was shy or didnt realize your feelings for him. This is all fine. Try not to let that bother you. A relationship is defined based on other peoples input, its defined based on how you and your partner feel about each other. If you want more out of the relationship, the honest best way to make it happen is to tell him. He has to notice that you are a strong minded person to know what you want out of your relationship. Just voice your opinion, in a nice way and hope he listens and understands. If you\'re ready to take the next step in the relationship, youre going to have to learn to be more open. This is where vulnerability comes in, where you risk a lot and it can either be really good or really bad. Chances are, based on what you told me, he seems interested enough to listen and understand you. Remember your boyfriend is supposed to be someone who you feel comfortable around, and it doesn\'t come like that. It takes time and it won\'t be easy, but you just have to put yourself out there and hope for the best. So please, just tell him. :)

Well, in a couple of days I'm getting braces (yay!) Top and bottom. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on when your teeth get sore, what colours are good, anything! If its to do with braces, please tell me. :) also, if anyone knows how long it takes to get them put on that would be good. Any advice appreciated ! :) xx
Hey! I've had braces for quite a long time before I finally took them off a couple years ago. The time it takes to get them off all depends on what the problem is. For example, when I got braces, it was because my mouth didn't have enough space to let my adult teeth grow in properly with enough space. So for at least 4-6 months I had to wear spacers to produce a gap in my teeth. For about a year, I had to wear expanders in my upper jaw to widen the space up there as well. There are a lot of people whom I know who had braces never had to use those. When your teeth get sore, it can be pretty painful for a couple of days because your root is moving in your gums. My advice is to eat soft foods around this time because anything hard will irritate your teeth and cause pain. Also, keep wax in handy (you'll receive this from your orthodontist). Wax is for any tips of the braces that might irritate your gums with the braces on. Sometimes, orthodontists mis-average the wiring in your mouth and if you don't realize this until your next appointment, it can be pretty painful. Also, make sure you get special floss for braces. It is to help clean between the braces when you get food stuck there. (Trust me, food will get stuck between your braces from time to time). Any color is also good. Try changing them seasonally. Christmas is coming up, you can do red and green. Honestly, it's up to you and what you feel comfortable wearing. They do not take long to put on either. It can take about 20 min-45min total, depending on how fast/slow the orthodontist is. Enjoy! You're well on your way to perfect teeth!

Hi. Ok so i was on my boyfriend instagram today and i came across some girl that his friend was dating. He liked 12 of her pictures and on one of the pictures my boyfriend asked her for her facebook. I don't know why he would ask her for that and especially liking all her pictures. I dont wanna talk to him because then hes going to think i was snooping around his instagram. What do you think about this or what would you do if it was you. I know if i did it he would be mad :(
I know its hard to think everything is okay when this is what he's doing. I'm 21 and I would personally feel it's a little crazy for that to be happening but you know what, you just have to take it with a grain of salt. Just let it be until you have physical proof that your boyfriend is actually cheating on you. It's not easy to ask him because it makes you look insecure, but just keep your head up and keep your relationship strong.

My mom married a much younger guy last year, and living with him has been awkward because he flirts with me when my mom's not around. Yesterday when my mom was at work I was sitting on the couch watching a movie with my little brother and sister, they were sitting on the floor. My step dad came and sat by me. He put his hands in between my thighs over my jeans and started touching my breasts. He did while my sister and brother were sitting on the floor with their backs to us and it was dark. When he did that I was scared . I told him to stop and he told me not to tell him to stop. My sister & brother were watching the loud movie, so they weren't paying attention to us on the couch. I tried pushing him away and moving. He kept on bothering me the whole time and I was scared to get up and when my mom got home I went in my room. I never feel comfortable around him. He'll put his hand on my waist, rub my stomach and get too close to me in front of my mom and it feels uncomfortable, and he's always saying "You're beautiful" My mom thinks he's playing around. And he looks at me with perverted eyes, all the time. i know my mom loves him so much and I know she wont believe me & she'll stay with him because he has money and we have nowhere else to go. She has stayed with him even though he beat her up before.
You should be your mother's number one priority over her second husband, not the other way around. Also the fact that she doesn't believe you makes the situation worse. That guy doesn't respect you or your mother if he's acting that way with you and it seems like he knows that your mother is only staying with him for his money so he takes advantage of you instead. I suggest that if you are a minor, you should talk to someone about it. Someone in legal matters. This is a very uncomfortable situation to be in.

So, today my 7-month-old cat, Jimmy, was trying to catch a wasp near our window, and he got it in his mouth, but then spit it back out. We think it might have stung him. Is this something that we should talk to the vet about? Is it no big deal? Could he be allergic? Please help us!
Thank you!
If it did sting him, he must be in a lot of pain, whether he shows it or not. I recommend taking him to the vet to see if there is a possibility that he is allergic and to give him some meds to take for the pain.

the tv program i have really grown tired of is the Big Bang Theory i mean my parents started watching that show from 2007 to 2012 i watched it too but later i grew tired of it and stopped watching it i really dont like the jokes on that show and i dont like how Penny Leonard Shelden and Amy and the others made fun of fictional characters and my parents brought up the characters telling everyone about them so any news on when it might be cancelled or maybe just when they might stop making new episodes like they did with That 70s Show
The Big Bang Theory has a lot of support and I highly doubt the show will be stopping anytime soon. If you don't like the show, just don't watch it. There are many people, I'm sure who do not like the jokes too but that doesn't mean they want it to stop. The show is just a huge comedy and its not meant to me taken seriously. I suggest you find something else to watch that you actually do like and not worry about it.

so here goes....I am a high school student from India, i have taken PCB and biotech so i used to go for this institution during my weekends from 8am to 4pm and when i used to come home it would be around 5pm at first it was alright but then i couldn't handle it i mean i had school from Monday to Friday then on Saturday and sunday i was in that institute so i left it but the thing was that my parents had paid that institute for 3months and i quit before so i think i wasted my parent's money...i want to make them proud but is it really really important for me to join an institution for the preparation of a medical entrance exam? can i not do it by my own?
Unfortunately you need training to get into any medical program. Your parents worked hard for the money. The least you can do is put their money to good use. Many other kids have done it. If you feel like its really too hard then maybe the medical field isn't right for you. How will you prepare for the exam if you haven't had training? I know it's hard but in India, its really tough to do because medicine is top notch in that country. Why don't you try talking to some of the other students and see how they feel and ask them how they get through the day? Maybe they can give you ideas on how to better study and face each day.

So my hair is naturally wavy/frizzy and I was wondering if there are any products I could put in my hair... without blow drying or straightening that would get it to dry straight or smooth?
I got the keratin treatment done but was unhappy that I had to still straighten it.
I have the same problem as you. I went to a beauty store and bought an olive-based cream product for my hair and it seemed to work well. It seemed to do me well. I don't have the name for it but that's okay because what seems to help the frizz go away is after washing your hair, put some hair-based cream product in thoroughly (friz-ease was a good one) and then begin to blow dry with the nozzle always facing downward (if you choose to use it). After putting in the cream product, dry your hair out a bit more (if you didn't blow dry) to remove the excess product(preventing your hair from becoming excessively oily once dried). Also keep your hair combed well why it is drying with the product in. But going back to the olive product, try finding one, it doesn't have to be any specific brand but if the bottle says its olive based, try it. Smells really well and works well on frizz and keeps your hair smooth!

Hi there, ive never done this before, asking for advice online but here goes.
Ive been broken up with my ex for about a year now, its taken me a long time to get back on my feet, im studying and life was going great! but in all honesty im finding it hard to let go!!! We hadn't talked for a while when all of a sudden he called me early hours of the morning but I purposely missed his calls cause I knew he would have been drunk. He also messaged saying that he misses me. I kinda knew he had been seeing a girl, so it shocked me when got in contact with me, but i was so happy to hear from him again. i asked him why he was calling me and he told me he was sorry and that he was just drunk! We texed for abit, and then the next day I seen photos of him and his new girl, I texd him but no reply. Im not angry at the fact he is seeing someone now, but I felt like he used me for comfort and purposely messed with my head. Everything was good up until he got in contact with me. My reaction wasn't so good, I sent him an angry txt about how he could even mess with my feelings and why he would do such a thing. I feel bad now and think that i should apologise or should i just let it be. I haven't heard from him since. He has a new gf which i am happy for him, it just hurt me that all of a sudden hes nice to me then the next day acts as if i don't exist. Now i feel like im back at square one again! Am i over reacting? im feeling like shit!
I don't think you're overreacting. In fact, I think it's quite normal. It does take a LONG time to get over an ex, especially if you had lots of happy times. Is it him that you miss, or is it the relationship that you had? You should ask yourself that question in order to help you move on. I had to with my previous relationship. When things come into perspective, you will feel a lot better. It's really rude of him to text you and make the excuse that he's drunk because he did it. If you know he has a girlfriend and you know there's no hope between you two, then you have to try your hardest to be strong and to fight to let go. I'm glad you sent him an angry text about how you feel because even if he didn't reply, he surely read it and at least he knows in the back of his mind how it makes you feel. Maybe by not replying, he's realized his mistake and the best thing to do is to let you go as well. I don't think you should apologize because if you're expecting another reply, you probably won't get one. Be strong in your decision to let go. Him acting as if you don't exist is probably his way of moving on from you. It's normal and I think you should try to do the same. Focus on school and your friends and you'll eventually meet someone new with no baggage or backstories. :)

Hi,
I'm in intermediate and I like this boy at school and he is in the next door class. I'm taller than him. I like him so much that I think about him 24/7. I dream about him everyday and I think he's ADORABLE!! I told my best friend just recently and she keeps asking me why I like him. She thinks that he looks like a rotten tomato. What should I do??
Don't worry about what your friend thinks. Just be happy you think he's nice. I mean, imagine if she thought he was nice too and secretly wanted him. At least now you know you don't have to worry about your friend liking the guy you like. Just because she doesn't approve of his looks doesn't mean that you should stop liking someone.

Well based on the subject, I want to ask how do you talk to the person you like?
I've seen him at school, the gym, even the library. Even though we've met because of an interview I did on him, I still couldn't say anything to break the ice to start a conversation and get to know him. I really like him
Please help me :(
The first thing to say is usually the hardest. Try to be in an area where he is and see what he's doing and just randomly say something when no one is around. Try to ask a question without personalizing it. For example, if you two have the same class, ask what the homework was. Or if you see him looking at a book you read before, you could say "you definitely have to check that book out, it's really good". Get it? Then you have to see what his response is and if he responds with interest and actually looks at you when he replies then you have his attention there.
It's really nerve wrecking to talk to the person you like, hands down but once you get past that first sentence, it becomes a lot easier.
:) Good luck. Message me for anything else you need.

Hey there. I hail from a middle class family in Bihar, India. (A developing state.)
Male, just turned 18
first of all I would like to make you aware of the background of the problem. Here in India, every february-june there is a lot of activity going on concerning education. Admissions in engineering colleges is the major influencer. I have opted for the entrance exams of several institutions - some of them are over and some are due. They'd end by june beginning. For the last 4-5 months, my parents have tortured me. I had been studying continuously for hours and then if i try to relax for a little while by watching tv or using my mobile or by watering the garden, they make hell out of it. Their scoldings are like : " why are you cheating us ? Why aren't you studying ? Why are you laughing ? Don't you have to study ? Why are you listening to songs, you cheater ? You would not get good marks. You would not get good rank. They have discouraged me by saying, " I guess you have made up your mind to try for these colleges next year. " Gosh ! I have just taken a break. Why don't you understand ? For the last 2 years, i was tortured by my girlfriend whom i eventually left ! Those 2 years were spoiled because of her. I was not allowed to do anything other than talking to her. It was like prison. Not allowed to watch tv, not allowed to sleep at night, no listening songs, no spending time with family, no facebooking. Nothing of my wish. After leaving her, my family has started the drama. I left her some 3 months ago. My family is torturing me. Most of the time, i have tried to ignore them. Tried to smile. But it's too much. Every now and then, they are killing me. They never supported me. What should I do?
Hi there, I understand your dilemma. I'm well aware of how Indian parents can be because I am of Indian descent and I've heard lots of stories of how some parents can be. I know it's hard to think about ignoring them but at the end of the day, its your head, your grades, your well being. You should tell your parents how you feel. Ask them if they were your situation, how would they feel constantly studying all the time? Communication is key with your situation and I am sure you are smart enough to voice your opinion.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and a half, and we have been having unprotected sex for a while now and haven't had condoms. However I am on birth control, and have been on it for a year, and never missed a pill, take it at the same time every day, last week my mom wasn't around to remind me in the morning to take it, so for a week I was taking it later maybe around 12-4pm... I have had symptoms like...nausea, and moodiness, (which I am usually both...just a LOT more lately) I have had constipation which I never get, a nose bleed I have never had before (I've heard that it could be a sign of being pregnant) and white discharge. It is too soon to take a test. Do you think I could be pregnant?
I don't see why your mom has to remind you to take your birth control pills but it seems like you might be. Take the test as soon as you can.

I am an 18 year old female, freshman in college. At my school, probably like every other school, we have this facebook page for you to go on and anonymously post who you think is cute or who you would like to date. Well, in my english class all year, I thought this kid was cute, I catch him looking at me sometimes but that's it. He's very shy, he doesn't talk much in class, matter of fact-I don't either, though really. Anyway, I posted on the facebook page, though and said that I think he is very handsome and that I would date him in a heartbeat. He commented back and said "come forward person who posted this." So, I was thinking about waiting until the last day of class and I was going to message him and tell him that it was me or something along the lines of "okay, I'm coming forward." I want to do it the last day of classes, which is May 17th by the way, because we have a twelve week summer. In case he doesn't feel the same way, I won't feel like an idiot sitting in class knowing that he knows and knowing that he said no. Plus the summer will give him time to think, he'll be able to message me if he wants. But, I'm kind of a chicken and I'm not sure if I will be able to do it or not. So, I guess I'm asking for guys and girls alike for their opinions. Would you want me to tell you? Would you think I was weird? What would you do? Thanks!
I think you should tell him and I like the idea that you're waiting until the ending of class to tell him. I don't think you should do it exactly around the last day, but a week before classes end, just so you can hint at his reaction of whether or not you would be expecting something to happen in the summer. I would want someone to tell me and no I don't think it's weird either. Sometimes we need a little push to get the message out there.

What's the best way to clean a fridge, and what kind of cleaning products do you need?
Every article I see says to unplug it first and then take out shelves.
I live in an apartment and the plug is not within reach because the fridge is right by the next appliance. Also, the shelves do not come out.
Thank you!
My mom takes everything out and wipes down the shelves with disinfectant. Just throw away the products with actual mold on it. You have to move the fridge so that the plug becomes accessible.
