ok, i saw on the back of my monster can that you shouldn't drink more than 3 cans per day. i was wondering why? what are some of the risks if you do have more than 3 cans? cause i drink it a lot, and some of my friends even have more than 3. thank you. (link)
The drinks have more caffeine than others, and Energy drinks having large ammounts, even in the smaller cans..

Drinking too many of them, can not only cause panic attacks, the shakes.. all the caffeine can deposit on different parts of your body and cause complications. (Liver being one of them.)



Hmm, okey..
I was just wondering which one of these is best:
WinMx
Bearshare
Kazzaa
Imesh
e.t.c
I've heard some of them give you viruses?
So which one is cheap and doesnt give your computer any viruses?
I appreciate any answers =D
Sorry about the spelling mistakes, just that im in a hurry :P
Have a nice day ;) (link)
I use Limewire, I've had no problems with it. Being a home-made computer the others have bogged it, and then I'd have pop-up problems but, this one seems good enough ;)


does having sex in a pool lessen your chances or getting pregnant? (link)
No it doesn't. Not to mention you can get one of several infections from chemicals, scum, and dirt from the pool getting "pushed" into areas it shouldn't be.


I have this really close guy friend and we tell each other everything. I started liking him a while ago and he felt the same way. He asked me out and I said yes. We haven;t been going out that long, but for some reason it's so weird for me and I almost feel annoyed with him. He's such a sweetheart and hasn't done anything wrong. I am just feeling weird about the whole thing. What do you think is wrong? Should we just be friends since its really weird, or should I give the relationship a chance?Thx. (link)
If you feel better as friends, and the relationship just feels odd. Then perhaps you should break it off. Sometimes being friends just is better, I'd at least talk to him about it, you might find that he feels the same way.


I was with my girlfriend for 2 years when she got pregnant. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but we decided that we would deal with it. The first week that she brought that baby home things were good. We got a little apartment and I was working full time during the day and she would work a couple hours at night just until I could support us with only my job. Well one day I got home from work and she was gone. She left a note saying that she wasn't ready for a child and that she's leaving our daughter with me. It's been a week since then. I've been doing the best I can but I don't know the first thing about being a parent and I have no one to ask about it. I grew up in foster homes my whole life. I love my little girl to death but I just don't know what to do anymore. She doesn't stop crying. I've tried feeding her, changing her, rocking her, everything that I can think and she keeps crying. I brought her to the doctor and he said that there is nothing physically wrong wtih her. I don't know what to do. If anyone has idea of what could be causing this please let me know. I would also appreciate it if any one knows anything about taking care of a 3 week old baby. Please help me.

I agree with Orions, it sounds like she has colic. Or even a gassy belly, burping her after every few ounces of feedings will help with this, and Gerber even makes "Gas Drops" you should be able to get ahold of at any store, near the baby things.

Warm baths at night might help, and I love Johnson and Johnson's Lavender and Chamomile baby bath, not only are the smells soothing to babies, it'll make her smell good.. ;)

Hrm.. and if your having problems getting her to sleep through the night, though at 3 weeks is common. You might want to talk to your doctor about giving her a little bit of rice cereal in her bottles, for her night-time bottle. =)

And I wanted to add, that I applaud you, you don't need a mother to raise a child, and your gonna be fine. I'm not going to say it'll be peaches and cream, but it sounds like your already doing a fine job.


This morning, I woke up and I noticed there was a tiny white dot/ball on my upper eyelid. It kind of hurts when I move my eye. Does anyone know what it is and how it got there? How do I get rid of it? (link)
Sounds like a sty. Just put a hot washcloth (as hot as you can stand) against it firmly. It has to come to a head before it'll go away.. but this will speed up the process. ;)


My mom is the biggest blabbermouth of all time. She can't keep her secrets to herself. She can't keep MY secrets to herself. She tells everyone the details about my life. She humiliates me infront of everyone. She makes up lies to exaggerate the truth. I really don't know what to do. Should I just stop telling her things? I can't stand the way my life is out there and availible to anyone that wants to hear about it. (link)
I'd do my best to not talk to her. Not tell her anything that you wouldn't want others knowing. It's not fair to you that she feels the need to share everything, but since you know she does.. you just have to watch what you say to her.


okay...theres this boy that i wanna ask to our end of school dance, but i already asked him whose hes goin with and he said no one and i didnt ask him to the dance. i have no idea how to do it. any suggestions? or any ways to get him to ask me? (link)
Just be brave and ask him. He's already said he doesn't have a date yet, and trying to get him to ask you can take too much time. Just go for it. Good Luck!!


To all of you girls out there! Is it true that sometimes when you get your period your face can breakout?

Thanks (link)
Yes. Your homones are higher around this time, and therefore it can cause you to break out more.


One of my friends has tried to comitte suicide twice before and i am afraid she will do it again it terifies me what should i do. (link)
You really need to talk to her, and convince her to get proffessional help. You can't help her, but others that are trained to might be able to.

If you can't convince her, and really are concerned your next option would be to tell another trusted adult to make her get help. =( Good luck.


My daughter is 15 months old. She's off her bottle now, but I can't seem to get her off of her pacifier. Does anyone have ideas to get her off her pacifier?

I wouldn't mind her keeping it, except that it is starting to pull her teeth forward. (link)
Try just hiding it from her, and breaking it a bit at a time. See if you can get her to go during the day without it, except for naps. Then gradually stop those. Eventually she won't need it. She'll be cranky at first.. but she'll soon find other ways to soothe herself.

Never date a best friends ex, it can only lead to fights and possibly losing your best friend.


... i love my boyfriend and never want to leave him .... its just sometimes ... i dont and i want to kill myself because he never seems happy with me ... he get irritated and even slaps me sometimes. But i dont want to break up! Please help ... I dont know what else to do

~ Hurtin' on the outside (link)
It doesn't matter if you love him, it matters if he loves you. And NO MAN no matter how much they say they do, loves a woman they hit. You really should get far away from him, he's not good for you, or your self esteem.


my friend is goin out with the guy i like and my other best friend likes him. how can i win him over the other 2?i rate high.

p.s. the other 2 girls are mad at me for certain reasons (link)
You just have to be yourself. You can't make a guy like you, so there's no use in trying. Just be yourself and hope for the best.


hi, im 15 f and i really want a bf. but everytime i go near a boy i get all shy, is this normal? please help
confused girl :S (link)
It's very common for girls to get shy when around their peers. I wouldn't worry much about it, and as you get older things will get better ;)
