In my daughter's school there is a swimming unit in gym class and both boys and girls have the class together. Is this appropriate? Even though its just one piece suits allowed. I assumed they would be seperate. Daughter is in 7th grade by the way
I think it's appropriate, when I was in 7th grade we had co-ed swim class. If you're concerned about it then I would suggest talking to the principal or gym teacher.
I have Verizon.
I currently have an enV Touch, but my sister is giving me her Blackberry Tour.
She's had it for five months.
I WOULD NOT be using the internet on it. I don't use internet on phones.
I would use it for the normal texting, calling, IMing thing.
She says I would need to start the "Blackberry Service" in order to use it.
And she says that's an extra 30 bucks a month.
What IS the Blackberry Service? What does it do?
Do I really need it if I wont be using the internet?
She uses the internet on her phone but I'll be cancelling it.
I have verizon.. and you have to buy the service plan for $30 in order to have a blackberry even if you're not going on the internet or anything.
I have a blackberry from there and you have to pay that each month.
Hi :) I've had scoliosis since I was in 7th grade. I'm a junior in high school now. I was braced for a good 2 years and it ended up failing. My scoliosis is is about 37-40 degrees and my regular doctor was saying how I should get spinal surgery to correct it so I wouldn't have long-term disadvantages when I age. Of course that is something I do not want at all, disadvantages, that is.
I'm not exactly for the surgery, but I don't want to live my life in pain and difficulty. It's about a 4-8 hour procedure (if I remember correctly) and a 6 week recovery and typically very successful. My doctor is the man who corrected Gloria Estefan's back injury when she got into a bus crash, and I know he's very very good at his job. I'm just concerned because it's my spine; obviously extremely important, and it's hard to trust a stranger with something so important and risky.
I was just wondering if anyone had this surgery or knows someone who had it and if it was worth it. Also, if you know someone who is older and didn't have surgery, how are they living now? I'm willing to listen to any personal experiences or anything of the sort. Thankyou so much for taking your time and helping me!
I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in 4th grade with a curve of 43 degrees. I was instantly put in a brace, and was in it for 5 years. In 9th grade (when I was 14.) I had a curve of 63 degrees so I had to have the spinal fusion done. Since I've had the surgery, I haven't had any problems at all. You won't have to live your life in pain and difficulty. Im a competitive figure skater, I wakeboard, I water ski, snowboard, and I can do the same things as everyone else. Its been 5 years since my surgery (im 19 now) and I was doing everything only 6 months after it. The only disadvantage I don't like is that I have a scar about the length of my back straight down my spine. I don't know where you live, but if you have a Shriners Childrens Hospital near you I suggest going there. They specialize in Scoliosis, and its free.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I'll be happy to help.
For starters I'm a 17 year old female and i'm going to Europe in June with my friends for our senior trip.
I'm trying to figure out what i should wear over there. Our trip consists of England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and then a cruise around the Pompeii island.
I know that i'm going to want to wear comfortable clothes because of all the walking around i'm going to be doing, but do you have any specific ideas of what i should wear?
I just bought a cute sundress and jean jacket from american eagle, but i have no idea what else to buy and what kind of shoes to get either!
Please help!
Thank you! :)
I went to Europe about 2 years ago, and I'm going again this june. If you have sensitive feet definitely wear tennis shoes. I wore flip flops the whole time I was there, but I was fine. Also make sure to bring a light jacket or sweatshirt and jeans incase it gets a little chilly or rainy. I would try to bring the smallest suitcase possible because you'll have to carry it everywhere and it gets heavy. Bring as many mix and match tops and bottoms you can, it makes your suitcase lighter because you're not carrying as many outfits around.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
My daughter is 13. She has been playing soccer since she was 5. We have a tournament this weekend and the last game of the day is at 5:30pm. It will be over at apprx. 7pm. The tournament is about 1 and a half hours away from our home. If she plays the game we won't be home until about 9pm. She has her first school/Valentines dance on Saturday which starts at 7pm until 10pm. She is very good at soccer, attendance is key and her position may be comprimised if she doesn't play. But, this is her first dance and she really wants to go. Her dad says play the game and forget the dance. I say forget the game and go to the dance. What do we do?
I say go to the soccer game because there are so many more school dances in the future. I remember my school having at least 30 between 7th and 12th grade.
Okay so basically my jaw clicks and gets out of place && it hurts A LOT!! I told my mom && she told me the same thing happened to my brother...it's been like this for a few months now...my question is DO I GO TO THE DOCTOR OR DENTIST OR BOTH??
You should go talk to your dentist.. My guess is that you have TMJ syndrome (Temporo mandibular joint syndrome). I have it and I used to go to a physical therapist for it.
I want to go skydiving.
Is it safe? (I know that it's statistically safer than scuba-diving, but still. I'd like to know the best-case and worst-case scenarios)
How much is it?
Where is it? (Where's the closest area to NYC?)
What's it like?
What would I need for it?
I went skydiving in August, and I LOVED it! It was about $200 and completely worth it. The place I went (in wisconsin) has been open for around 40 years, and only one person has died, and it was because he was goofing around. It feels like nothing before, its an amazing feeling falling through the sky. I would suggest doing it tandum (with someone else on your back) I didn't need anything with me, I wore sweatpants. If the weather is cooler outside you might have to wear a jump suit (they would probably provide that),I know you have to be at least 18 yrs old at most places. Eat a lot of sugary candy or food before you go, so when you get the adrenaline rush you don't vomit.
Any other questions feel free to ask. :)
***BEFORE ANYONE COMMENTS SAYING HOW UNHEALTHY AND HOW I HAVE A DISORDER, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I KNOW THIS AND THAT EATING DISORDERS AND BEING HEALTHY IS NOT WHAT MY QUESTION IS ABOUT SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PLEASE DONT!!
i dont eat all week (besides coffe with half and half) and then weekends i binge like crazy and take laxatives.
this weekend i did that except i took the laxatives to late and i think i fully digested everything i ate (which was ALOT)
this week i have not eaten yet (besides coffe and some vegetables) i just tried on a dress that i am wearing tomorrow and my stomach looks huge and wide and its really not flattering. why does my stomach look huge? how do i fix it? i hate it and it makes me eat less.
If you only eat on the weekends, your body goes in to "starvation mode" and saves all its fat and nutrients to keep you alive. It is much healthier to eat 6 small meals a day than just eating on the weekends.
The reason you look "fat" is because of your eating habits messing up your metabolism. In order to lose the belly fat, you need to eat healthier and exercise.
yes, fifteen. as in tenth grade. as in everyone else started developing them six years ago. all other signs of puberty are apparent, but as far as my chest goes, it's as if my body forgot to produce hormones there or something. what is wrong with me?? if all i have to do is wait, why haven't i ever met or heard of a single person out there like me? i can't even go swimming because any flat-chested girl looks awfully unattractive in a bathing suit unless she's just a little girl still. and both guys&girls will stare and be so grossed out and know and just... don't act like this isn't a big deal. sorry to sound like a b*tch, but all people tell me when i keep asking this question is "just be patient, they'll come" so please don't say anything at all if you're just going to act like this is normal. what should i do? should i get surgery when i'm older if i still don't have them? is there any chance i WILL ever get them because i know there are some women in this world that never develop breasts and that terrifies me.
I've answered questions like this many times before because I have the same issue. I'm 19 years old and I'm barely an A cup. I have been patiently waiting for 8 years now and still nothing has happened. It could just be in your genetics, which I'm sure mine is too. You still have time to grow them. But just think of how unique you are, I'm the only one I know with this small of boobs, which just makes me more unique than everyone else. :)
hope this helps.
i'm FIFTEEN years old, i've started my period, had my growth spurt, and have all signs of puberty but i've never developed breasts. it looks like i have the chest of a 10-year old boy, and i'm so embarassed because of it. all i can say for now is, i'm lucky there's such thing as padded bras. i look around me and everyone has C-cups and started getting them before their period as early as age 9. what is wrong with me? i told my doctor "i don't think i'm developing breasts" and she just smiled and said "they'll come, you just have to be patient." then why haven't i ever met or even heard of ONE PERSON in the same position as me? some girls might have small boobs, and i would be fine with that, but mine are non-existant. what is wrong with me? is it possible i will never get them?
If it makes you feel any better, I'm a 19 year old girl, and I'm basically flat chested.. im a 32A.
I'm addicted to shoplifting. I've been doing it for about a year and a half now. It was my 2009 New Year's Resolution to stop shoplifting...but I didn't. I've been shoplifting weekly for about a year. I steal everything from makeup, jewelry, clothes, chapstick, food, pens, and headphones.
Today I went shopping with my sister (she used to steal, too, but she doesn't anymore). We went into a store and I stole two pairs of pants. Then we went to a store across the street and I stole a pair of shoes, a shirt, and two drinks. My sister saw all the stuff when we got home and told me she would never shop with me again. She's my best friend and this makes me sad. :(
I hate that I shoplift. But I also love it. I love getting new things, and I love the adrenaline rush. I know it's not worth it, and I know it's illegal. How do I stop? Please help me. And how do I get my sister to trust me again?
I work in retail. I have for a few years now, and people who work in retail, don't like people like you. It not only hurts the store, it hurts others as well. Shoplifting makes prices go up for everyone else.
you should seek help from a psychiatrist. Like others have said below, if you get caught it will hurt your chances at getting a decent job.
As to getting your sisters trust back? you will reall have to work at it.
hope this helps.
I am a slut. There is no denying it really. I am 18 years old and I have slept with five guys! The subject came up at a friend's party and out of 17 girls I had slept with the most guys. I just burst into tears and cried!
I used to believe the "everybody is doing it" thing but now I found out that all the girls around me were SAYING they did things to seem cool and I went and did them so I didn't feel left out or like I was missing out on something good. So now I am a slut to everyone I know. I so wish I hadn't been the first one to answer how many I had slept with.
So now I feel like no guy will ever want me again. No good guy that is. I mean I would never date a guy who slept with more women than anyone else he knew so why should a guy look past what I have done?
Has anyone else 18 or yournger actually had sex with 5 or more guys? Am I the only one? :'(
Help!
If it makes you feel better, my friend is 18 and has slept with approximately 10 guys.
I wouldn't really call you a slut unless you slept with them just for the sake of sleeping with them..
hope this helps.
I was just wondering how all these girls I see scrunch their hair? I don't know anyone who does so I have like nobody to ask. So how do u scrunch hair anyway?
I scrunch my hair just about every day because it only takes like 3 minutes for me to do it since my hair is naturally wavy and curly!
When its wet I shake out my hair to separate it a little bit and run my fingers through it.. and then I put gel in my hands and rub my hands together then put my hair in my hand and scrunch it up into a fist all the way to my roots. then I bend over so my hair is flipped in front of my face.. and then hair spray it and scrunch it at the same time. Then I flip it back and then scrunch a little more and im done.
It works really well for me.
Hope it helps.
Hey i need big help. I recently applied for colleges and now i need to write them all College essays explaining why my grades for my first couple of years in high school were the way they were. I know how to tell them all of that but i dont know how to start it off yeah i already asked my english teacher but he knows nothing....can you help me start off my introduction? Or just give me an idea.
I would first start by introducing yourself and where you go to school. Tell them what you're interested in and what extracurricular activties you're i (if any), and then maybe go into why you want to go to that college and then maybe about why your grades were the way they were.
Start with all the good stuff, then the not so good stuff (if you're grades were bad) and then end it on a good note.
You want to leave a lasting impression to the college and you want to stand out to them to make them WANT you at their college.
Hope this helps!
Uhm, this is weird... but what are some song about drugs?
Like, for example.
"We are all on drugs" -Weezer
"Smoke it" -The Dandy Warhols
"I Take Drugs" -Murderdolls
"Bucket Bong" -Frenzal Rhomb.
Yeah, don't ask why.

How old do you have to be to sky dive in the state of MA ?
It's usually 18 I believe.
I went skydiving this summer in Wisconsin and it was absolutely AMAZING! You will love it!
So I'm still a virgin and it's kind of a big deal.
So, out of curiosity I was wondering when did you lose your virginity (what age you were) and how did it happen?
Give details please, not on the actual sex but on how it happened. For example, don't just say 'with my first boyfriend' or 'at a house party', say exactly how it happened.
And if you're still a virgin, would you please say so too and say your age and how you feel about losing your virginity? For example, do you think you're ready to? Do you want to? Why do you want to or why do you want to wait? Do you feel pressured?
Thanks, x
I'm 18 and a female, and I'll be 19 in a month and im still a virgin. It doesn't bother me too much because I'm waiting for the right guy to come along. Although, the majority of my friends have had sex and they tell me how great it is, Its not that I dont want to, its just that I feel I should wait until I'm ready and with someone who I can see myself being with for a long time.
Does anyone own an instyler hair straightener? Does the instyler straighter really work and do what they are advertising it does?
My friend owns one, and I use it quite a bit and it works wonders. My hair is pretty curly and thinck and it worked amazing on my hair.
Gas seems like it keeps going up and up and UP! I have to drive a long way to work and it's really killing my paycheck. I was curious if anybody knew when it would go down or something? I'm not sure if you can know in advance :\ I was just hoping...
I think it's like $2.69 here now.
Is it about that much everywhere in the United States, out of curiosity?
It's about $2.35 in southern MN

Unless you're like having sex or other sexual activities while french kissing.
So, if you're not. Then you're safe! :)
