Hi everyone!
My name is Todd, and I am a 15-year-old High School student with a situation. I have a female friend who is stuck in a pretty tough life. I don't know what to do. She was put in a psychiatric hospital for about two weeks about a couple months ago, and she told me that the doctors are going to put her back for at least 6 months to a year.
The situation is that her family is pretty messed up. They don't even really care about her that much. I am her best friend at the moment, and I have and am helping her get through these tough times.
She really likes me, and I really like her, and she and I want a relationship when things clear up. The problem is that she might end up in the psychiatric hospital again or she might be moving far away.
I don't know what to do. She is getting over a lot of her issues and problems and putting them in the past behind her. I am trying to get advice as to what I can do to maybe convince the doctors or something along those lines so she doesn't have to go away to the psychiatric hospital and maybe give things a chance to clear up.
I don't know her doctors or counselor personally, but I am just desperate to try anything to change their minds. Thanks for reading this. I apologize for it being so long. Thank you again.

You don't want to keep her from the hospital. You really don't. The doctors think she needs to go there for a reason.
You will miss her while she is gone but her problems will not go away on their own. Encourage her to get the help she needs. You can write her, maybe even call her while she is gone.
She is not ready for a relationship beyond being friends right now. A person has to care for themselves before they can really care for another. As much as you both may want that, she has issues to resolve first.
You won't convince the doctors to change their minds. You have to accept that she is going to be getting help...which will only benefit her in the future. Be a friend and help her accept it.
Its going to be tough but you need to.
Best of luck.

Im 13..i was rapped and i guess it put me into a totally different path. I got depression (it was a surprise to people) and then i got into a huge fight and broke this girls arm and got sent to juvey..i got out like a month ago and my parents hate me. my dad relates me to my cracked-out brother who is in jail. he thinks im nothing..im thinking about leaving.like perminatly.. (link)
|
Forget about the leaving permanently thing. It won't help anyone...especially you.
I imagine you are depressed. Who wouldn't be. For a 13 year old you have had to deal with a lot of grown up things.
It also sounds as if you are dealing with some anger issues. Are you getting any sort of counseling for all this? If not I think you should be.
The better path for you to take would be to ignore as best you can any comparison to your brother.
Instead try to control your anger. Scream into a pillow, go outside and cut loose, run, go for a walk, get a punching bag....whatever works best for you.
Hang out with nice friends. Be as good as you can. Don't act out at home. Pretty soon your parents will see that you have changed.
You disappointed and embarrassed them. That's hard to get over too. But they don't hate you. Parents don't hate their kids.
Show them you can do better and I think you will be much happier. :)

Well recently my best freind told me that she no longer wanted to be my friend just because i wasnt pretty enough and all most everyone has to disagree with that she also told me i didnt have enough money because i could never go out to the mall movies ect.. very often cuz i never had the money. Then she wrote me a note in class today and said you dont have a good enough body to be my friend im only friends with people that weigh less than 103pounds! SO what should i do to prove to her i am a good person even though i dont have as much money to spend as she does? Should i start skipping meals to loose weight? Should i duble my gumnastics classes i mean i go once a week for 3.5 hours and its really expencive so how do i prove it to her? Please help!!!!!

You don't have to prove yourself to anyone.
I know you don't want to hear it but your friend is a stuck-up, spoiled little brat. There are better types of friends to have out there.
Don't even think about skipping meals and trying to live up to her expectations. She is the one with the problem not you. Oh! Those kind of people make me so angry!
There are plenty of other girls out there who don't fit into her friend bracket. You go find another best friend and good riddance to this one.
Maybe she will grow up one of these days. :)

So I read Angelas Ashes.
And my project is about drawing a big symbol that..well, synmbolizes about the book and I have to have reasons to back it up.
What symbol is best out of these?
-Coffin
-A bar/pints
-Church/Religion
-Money/Jobs
-Food
-Other [suggestions?]
(link)
|
Oh wow. Its been a while but I loved the book.
I always picture a poorly dressed little boy. Since through much of the book he is looked down on for being poor.
The ashes though are the ashes from his mothers cigarettes and the fireplace. That's what he claimed in an interview anyway. Cigarettes and a dying fire being all she was left with when his dad was gone.
Hope that helps somewhat. :)

I like this boy who is 4 years older than me. I am 13 years old.He has alot of respect for me and everyone else. I think he likes me. Today he gave me a heart from his fingers and was trying to hug me. He is really funny.He doesn't go with anybody.I don't know if I should go with him because of the age difference. Should I go for it or what?
(link)
|
Since he is 17 I think he is to old for you.
Not that 4 years is a lot but as soon as he turns 18 he can be thrown in jail for dating you.
He really needs to find someone his own age. Sorry.

Hi. I'm female (obviously) and I'm 16 years old.
I think I might have a yeast infection, but what are the symptonms, and could it possibly be something else?
Thanks. (link)

Here is a site that has the info you need. :)

ok, my period now has lasted 10 days, its medium but i wanna know what i should do? should i be worried? (link)
|
You don't give your age. If you happen to use the depo provera birth control shot...its known to have that side affect.
If not, then tell your mom about it. It may not be a serious thing but it should probably just be checked out.
Any type of change from the norm needs checked. :)

Am i even pregnant?
I wake up in the morning dont feel sick.
lie in bed an hour and my stomach is in pain but not throwing up.
I am emotional.
Had my last period but something was wierd about it. seemed like a small amount of bleeding, thought I was done, then BANG one more day was added with more bleeding than there was before.
And I am eating more then usual and am hungery more. which bothers me b/c if I am not pregnant I am afraid of getting bigger.
have to wear jogging pant b/c grew out of my pants.
Something is wrong but i dont know what. (link)
|
Probably not.
You do not have to have morning sickness to be pregnant. Many women don't. I never did.
I'm emotional at times too. Everybody is. I wasn't any more emotional during a pregnancy.
Periods can do weird things. It doesn't mean anything is wrong at all. You can even skip one all together and still not be pregnant.
Eating more during pregnancy is an old wives tale. Pregnant women do not eat any more than other people.
Sounds like you are simply eating more and gaining weight. Take a pregnancy test if you feel
you need to. Other than that, diet and exercise is all you need do to get back in your regular clothes. :)

I may be pregnant but I dont know for sure.
I am moody all the time but I hide it.
My last period was eregular.
The pill is my protection but u can still get pregnant with the pill.
We have been together over one year.
He thinks I may try to get pregnant without telling him.
Should I worry him wiht me so he can support me?
Should I wait untill my next period to find out for sure?
What do you think? (link)
|
Being moody and just an irregular period does not mean you are pregnant. Those things can be caused by anything.
It is true some women get pregnant while on the pill. Most times it is simply because they don't take it as directed. It is rare.
If he thinks you may be trying to get pregnant without his knowledge then I would keep quiet.
He may get really angry and break up with you.
Wait until you get or don't get your next period before worrying about it. In the mean time check this site for symptoms of pregnancy.

You aren't doing anything wrong. Its natural that you want alone time with your boyfriend.
The thing is that parents have to struggle with what they think is best for you. 13 is really a bit young for dating, so they at least allow you to have a boyfriend.
Have you read some of the questions we get on here? Sometimes even 13 year old kids get all wrapped up in sex.
I know you think you wouldn't but your parents aren't so sure. It isn't that they don't trust you, but peer pressure is there and your parents have to take it into consideration.
So try and understand their reasons. The day will come when they feel they can let you date a boy without them being so strict about it. How you behave with the restrictions you have now will probably determine when. :)

I have this crest nightime whitener stuff for your teeth. What you do is take the paintbrush looking applicator and wipe the whitener on your teeth at night and in the morning brush it out.
I have yellow teeth that I want to whiten, but I have a retainer that I wear day and night. I've had this retainer for a year, and thats as long as my dentist said to keep it in.
Do you think it would mess up the whitening if I put my retainer back in ten mins after I applied the whitening gel. Or should I leave my retainer out over night? Its only for 14 days. (link)
|
I would leave it off if you plan to use the whitener tonight.
Tomorrow, call your dentists office and ask what they suggest. They really don't mind you calling.
I don't know what retainers are made of, but you really don't want to wear them at the same time until you check. It may leave your teethe discolored or something...which would defeat the purpose. :)

For French Day in my school I have to find a French recipe. It cannot be something that needs to be heated up. I found a recipe for a Chicken Pan Baget sandwich but I can't find it again. Does anyone know where I can find this recipe? I saw it first on cooking.com but that site won't work on my computer anymore. (link)
|
Here you go, courtesy of cooking.com
Chicken Pan Bagnat
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large, crusty rolls, cut in half
1 large clove garlic, cut in half
8 large, crisp lettuce leaves, such as Boston
2 large tomatoes, sliced thin
1 roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
1/3 cup black olives, such as Kalamata, halved and pitted
8 anchovy fillets (optional)
RECIPE METHOD
In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Whisk in the 1/3 cup of oil.
Remove the soft centers of the rolls, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Rub the garlic on the inside of each and brush with the 2 tablespoons oil.
Top the bottoms of the rolls with the lettuce. Layer with half the tomato slices and the chicken; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Top with half the slices of egg, onion, and bell pepper, and half the olives, and then drizzle with half the dressing. Repeat with the remaining tomato, chicken, 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper, egg, onion, bell pepper, olives, and dressing. Top with the anchovies, if using. Cover with the tops of the rolls. If you have time, wrap each roll tightly in aluminum foil; let sit for 10 minutes. Otherwise, press down on the rolls firmly so that the dressing moistens the bread.

I've been losing alot of hair lately, mainly when I take a shower/bath there is a large amount of hair on top of the drain and when ever I run my hand though my hair there is always a few strands.
so I was wondering if its because of bad nutrition, dying my hair, or from straighting it.
I've died my hair many times before just this time its black. So maybe I'm just seeing all the hair now because its black and not the light brown it was before.
I'm vegan so I know I don't get enough calcium or protein ( I take a multivitamin for everything else ).
So could my hair loss be because of either those three things or some other reason? (link)
|
It could be from any of those reasons. It being black could also be the reason you are suddenly noticing it.
So long as you have no bald spots you will probably be OK. If it continues though and gets really bad, go have a doctor check it. You may still be lacking in some vitamin or something. :)
|
haha i was reading you list of things (whatever they are) and i have a correction for you! super glue is now no longer forever.. they came out with stuff not to long ago that keeps you from glueing your fingers together real bad and stuff

My freind is on an un-healthy diet. She hasn't told my freinds and I but at lunch she only eats and apple AND she on this website she said she was on a diet. We are worried that she is not eating much. What should we say to her? Should we talk to her? (link)
|
Definitely talk to her.
Let her know that not eating enough can also make you gain weight.
You body goes into a starvation mode and starts storing fat from everything you eat.
Encourage her to exercise more instead. Maybe offer to walk with her or something. You can have fun doing it together. :)

I have this friend who is overweight. She asked a question to me on this website about how to loose weight. The main thing was, she said that her freinds (me and my 2 BFs) always talk about her weight and it hurts her and how should she bring it up with them. Well, I found out it was her. The thing is, we have NEVER EVER EVER talked about her weight. We all knew she was bigger but... well we are going to talk to her about it. What should we say? She said she felt like that had to wear bikinis cause my freind and I did. Basically, what should we say to her? (link)
|
It could very well be that you are ignoring her weight in a way and that is upsetting her.
Maybe you talk about clothes (like bikinis!) that she can't wear. Maybe that makes her feel a little left out. You know what I mean?
It could be that you aren't directly talking about her weight, but she is seeing it as an issue.
It sounds like she is having her feelings hurt somehow. Just ask her what it is you guys need to do to make her feel better. Let her know that if you said something she took the wrong way it wasn't intentional.
You know sometimes if we have a good friend who is overweight...we really don't see it. We tend to see them for the person they are. It could be you said something about someone being fat...forgetting she had a weight problem and she took it the wrong way.
Just have a talk. All of you together. You will work it out I'm sure. :)
