Okay first of all, I live in Australia.

I don't have regular visits to the dentist and i brush my teeth about once a day(im too busy to do it more) but sometimes i dont brush, and i don't floss either. And i know what your going to say: "Well what did you expect". I just need help.

I woke up this morning and my mouth was full of blood, and i had a small blood clot. I brushed my teeth, then washed my mouth out with salt + warm water then i washed my mouth out with mouth wash, and the bleeding has stopped, for now. Theres still a small red thing where it was bleeding from and if i press on it, it will start bleeding again, so i won't do that.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it? I don't know if its gingivitis either because my mouth doesn't hurt and i don't have swelling at the moment but it most likely is gingivitis. Dentists cost ALOT and i dont have any dental insurance or whatever, all i have is a medicare card(i dont know if america has it so i dont know if you know what medicare card is) and I don't think my bulk billing doctor can help because he aint a dentist.

Can anyone helpp? The dentist isn't an option because i have no money, especially ranging from hundreds of $$.

I'm not a doctor; I'm a 14 year old girl. But I an going to give you my personal opinion; the best thing to do for your condition is to go to the dentist. It needs to be diagnosed before you try treating it. Thats a fact. If you really want to clear your condition, you might want to spend some money. That gingivitis could get worse. I think you can spare some expense for a medical issue.

It has come to my attention that I have no hobby to enjoy in my spare time. This is causing me problems in my relationship since it appears that I have no real interest in anything in particular. I have known about this problem for awhile and have searched the internet time and time again for something appealing and have yet to find a good hobby to pick up. It's not that I'm bored in my spare time--it's that I don't really DO anything.

What are some good suggestions for new hobbies that I might be interested in beginning? Does anyone know of some unique hobbies that might spark my interest? Any suggestion is appreciated...

You should really try something along the lines of music. There are lots of instruments to choose from. I reccomend the French horn, guitar, and piano.
If you are a goodie-two-shoes, try sone volunteering. It feels great afterwards.
If you are athletic, try a sport. Target your strengths, find a sport that supports it, and then possibly join a team or a club.
Try an art class. There are probably some cheap classes around your town. Or just try your own artwork.
Photography is a unique one. You can travel and take lots of pictures, or you can really get into it and take photography classes.
If you're creative, try writing. You could use a blog or you can try writing articles or books.

Lately I have been feeling like I'm dumber than a normal 15 year old should be. I have started watching Criminal Minds lately and I am fascinated with Spencer Reid and how genius he is. So, it got me thinking how cool would it be if all of my friends turned to me for help on their homework or helping them study for a test. However, before that happens I need to improve in school, myself. So, in conclusion, does anybody have studying techniques I could use? I tried reading a passage as studying but that does not help because I just forget the next day. Something along the lines of flashcards or something like that. One last thing. I feel like I could be better if I concentrated more. So can someone help me with listening in class, like what should I do, put every single distracting item away because that seems almost to easy. So, study techniques that help me remember the important items for a test? Ways to do my homework correctly and not get stressed? Lastly, ways to concentrate better in school? Thanks so much!

Hey, I'm only 14, but I've had to go through a lot of stress with homework-I'm in the marching band and I don't have a lot of homework or study time.
To remember what I've read after I've studied, I read through a few sentences and then rephrase them in my head in my own words. And I'm careful to look up anything I don't completly understand.
To pay attention, you're right, you need to put away anything distracting. Personally, I'll put everything away rthat isn't on that particular subject. If its paying attention in class, always take notes, even if they are just quick words that can help you later. Also, most teachers will talk with emphasis when they are pointing out something important. Also, feel free to ask your classmates questions about things you didn't understand, as well as your teacher.
To get homework done, I spread it out during the week and work on a little each day so I'm not cramming. And I'm attentive to due dates. You should also try to organize your homework by importance and length, And do the most important and shortest lengthed first. And, as you should do in class, put away anything that doesn't have to do with that subject. It can trick yourself into thinking you don't have as much to do, and it will stop you from worrying about the next part of your homework you have to finish.
To remember things for a test, think of words that will trigger important facts. Also, try to fit lists of items into a silly sentence, like "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally".
