about

I'm a med student, so health related questions I can usually answer pretty well. I also like to think I'm somewhat decent at giving advice. I can also give you an honest opinion.




"I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, or where I'm gonna wind up. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next."





"I believe in colors. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

advice

I'm a 14F going into highschool and I'm BARELY 5'1"!! Are there any special foods/excercises that could make me grow?

--Short Freshman.

you're not that short! (=
i'm the same age as you and i'm 5'2".
but i suggest you don't get those shots that make you grow faster.
(you can talk to your doctor about them if you want)
some people just grow earlier then others.
you will grow around the same height as everyone else it may just take a little more time.
plus, many people think short s are cut.e (;
and if they don't like you cause you're short, then they're not good enough for you anyway.

Sometimes my mom will say hurtful things to me and not even realize it.

"How can you possible have that many texts, you don't have more then 3 friends!"
(Keep in mind, this was after I just lost my boyfriend, best friend, and almost all of my friends so I was very upset from losing them)

"I would buy bigger jeans, you're getting fatter"
Even though I'm a size 1.

I've talked to her about this numerous times, but she just doesn't understand. What should I do?

ok well you said you talked to her already.
you should talk to her again using these examples if you didn't already.
if she still doesn't stop you should talk to someone that she'll listen to..
like maybe your dad, uncle, aunt etc. and maybe they can get her to stop.
if she STILL does it then you should just do it back to her
and maybe she'll start to feel how you're feeling.
hope this helped.

i broke up with my boyfriend of like more than a year and he got really upset. i told him that it wasnt his fault i just didnt think we had the chemistry. so was it wrong to break up with him weither he still loved you so so much? ill rate plz answer ♥

it's definetly the farthest thing from wrong.
it's better to tell him the truth and hurt him,
then to lie and say you still like him just to make him happy.
it's like if someone said that loved you and they really don't.
if you found out you'd be hurt, ya know?
you made a good decision, don't worry.

What is novacaine?

novacaine is a chemical
that makes something numb.
usually it's used in the dentist's office
to numb your tooth when they pull a tooth
or fill a cavity so you don't feel it on your gum.

I have a cramp in my upper thigh and it has been there for awhile (since last night.) how do i make it go away?

if you got hit there with something
ice would be good.
if its just a muscle
try using a heating pad
right before you go to sleep.

ok last night i woke up at about 3:30 because i heard a creaky noise and i flung up and went OMGSH!! i went to say you scared me to who i thought was my moms girlfriend and my dog but the person just turned around and looked at me like i was insane i stared at them as the faded into my door without opening it am i insane.. do i have some special power? this happened when i was like three.. i was in the bathroom potty training [ bear with me here ] && the door was open and all of the sudden a clown came out of the wall [ im not afraid of them ] and i screamed he looked at me and walked out the door and my uncle came running and looked at him or so i thought.. but i dont think he saw him .. whats wrong with me? am i just seeing this stuff and its not there do i have some power i dont know about im only 13 so it could get stronger

don't feel bad. nothings wrong with you. i use to have these visions in the dark or whatever they are when i was little...turns out i grew out of them.


you could just be imagining things. but just incase my advice is to tell your parent or guardian about this and maybe see a psychiatrist.

good luck. =)

I'm babysitting this demand child. How can i get her to shut up?! Omg. shes so annoying. please help
♥

wow can i relate to this one.


first off be nice. act like a friend. usually if the kid likes you, they'll listen to you.

if that doesn't work just ignore her and pretend you don't hear her. sometimes the only reason why they are so annoying is because they think they're entertaining you or they enjoy making you mad and making it harder. (i know cruel)

haha hope i helped
good luck =)

How can I make my hair less frizzy? Like more smooth and shiny? Thanks!!

well not to be braggy or anything but i've gotten alot of complements on my "soft" and "perfectly smooth" hair.


i use pantene shampoo and conditioner in the shower.

then when i come out of the shower i use pantene frizz control, while my hair is still wet.

then i blowdry my hair, wait like 10 mins like go downstairs and hang out for a little.

then i straighten it





it works! =)
good luckk

lately ive been so self concious about my nose.i think its really big and is the only thing that stands out on my face. everytime i talk to someone i think they are staring at my nose. im not gonna go and get plastic surgery or anything but is there anyway to boost my self confidence?! im 15/f and not to sound like conceited or anything but alot of people say im so gorgeous and i just dont see it! ive never had a boyfriend and i WAS crushin on this really cute kid but now he has a really really pretty girlfriend. im jealous. for some reason im jealous of so many girls! i know people have said just say your beautiful or name off your good traits but thats not gonna help ME and i know it. ahh any other suggestions? thanks.

many people are like this. i'm self conscious about my stomach.


you may or may not believe this but i was reading an article about self consciousness and it said that like a study showed that the things that people are self-conscious about, other people don't even notice if that person doesn't tell them about it.


and about how you never had a boyfriend, that doesn't mean you're ugly. and that also doesn't mean they don't like you because of your big nose. sometimes it's they don't have the courage to ask you out, they're shy, they afraid to get hurt, etc.



when people tell you your gorgeous, listen to them. noitce you said "people" not "a person" or "someone" or "my friend" so if those people said your gorgeous, it's pretty much TRUE.

I'm 13/f.My friend is 13/f too.Here's what happened:
I bought some new clothes for school.I showed my friend while she was at my house.She said my clothes were ugly.She then proceeded to go to my closet.Needless to say,she got my into giving her some pants,a nice leather jacket,a hat,and some make-up.I don't know how she does it!She just begs me for it.So,when I ask to borrow her lipgloss,she says no.I give her all this stuff(unwillingly),and she won't even let me borrow her lipgloss.and,she insults me too.She says I have no style.I want to start out fresh next year.So:Should I dump her because of this,or still be her friend?

well like some of the previous answers said it seems like you have good fashion. it also seems like your good at sharing and are helpful to your friends. you're a good friend to have.


this seems greedy and mean. even though you let her have all of that stuff she won't even let you borrow her lipgloss? come on. sorry but i think a person like you deserves a way better friend.


by reading this i think their are many people out there who would love to be your friend and treat you alot better.


good luck =)

I keep making plans for dieting. I try and give up im 13 yrs old 5'2 and 117 pounds.I need some inspiration. Please help!

get some to help you. like someone that you're around alot and whenever you're with them they won't let you eat junk food and they'll help you exercise.


personally, i think your weight is normal. i just turned 14 and i weigh 125. and i recently went to the doctors and he said i still have like 20 lbs before im considered 'overweight.'

good luck =)

Some people say that money isn't everything. But is this really true? If a person makes minimum wage and can barely afford food, can that person still be happy?

of course! they can have friends, family, a boyfriend or a friend, people who care about them they can feel good about themselves like their looks and stuff. money can't buy any of that. =)

I want a good facewash that has a few different parts to it ex) blackhead remover, cleansing wash

does anybody know some really good facewash that is pretty cheap?I dont mean like proactiv or anything big like that, like something that i can just buy at a drugstore.
Thankz!

i have neutrogena face scrub (the one with the screw on top) and ever since i started using it my face has been completely clear and my skins a lot softer then it used to be.


it works really good. =)

15/f
allright so here's the deal. one of my best friends is my cousin. im over there like everyday and i feel like such a loser because i mean ..its my cousin? and people are like gosh your always over there...shes your best friend? and im like yeahh one of them. i mean sometimes i will do other things with my friends but my cousin doesnt have many friends so she always asks me to come over. for some reason we dont do mcuh but i still have fun :D but i feel retarded because there is this cute kid that lives by them and he always sees me over there and i talk to him sometimes and he probably thinks i have no life or friends since im always over at my cousins. do you think there is something wrong with this situation? i mean i love doing things with my other friends but its always so hard to go through with plans with them because they're always working or busy! but i was just checkin to see what you guys thought. thanks

it's perfectly normal for your cousin to be your best friend.

i actually have many friends that spent a lot of time at their cousins too =)


im sure that cute kid would understand that you're just best friends and like spending time with each other. it's normal, really.

Me and my ex-boyfriend (first love) might try to try it again and see if it works this time. I still love and care about him. But there's another guy who I like and he likes me as well and wants to be with me. He hasn't caused me nearly as much pain as my ex (actually he hasn't caused me any) but I don't know who to choose or what to do? I love my ex even though it's been over a year since we broke up, but I also am starting to catch feelings for this new guy. Please help me . I will rate

choose the one that you think will respect you and treat you the best. if you think your ex-boyfriend is going to be a jerk to you then go with the other guy. but if you think you have stronger feelings for your ex-boyfriend, go with him.

follow your heart =)

My friend is continuing to hurt herself. When I was on the phone with her last night she cut herself about eight times. I don't know what to do she has done this repeatedly and i'm afraid she is really going to hurt herself. What can I do or what should I say?

tell her to stop. talk to her about what's bothering her.

if she doesn't listen to you, like the last person said, tell an . or if theirs a reason why you can't tell an tell some of your friends that are also friends with her and try to get her to stop. tell her its not doing her any good.
