Rabbits aren't as dumb as other people are claiming. Remember that they're hunted in the wild (and humans are hunters in the wild), so they're going to be skittish by instinct. It takes some time, but if you make him feel safe he will eventually begin to trust you. I don't know if this would work for rabbits, but I sewed a little fleece "sleeve" for my guinea pigs to crawl into, and they feel safer being picked up and held in that.

i rly wanna get on birth control..because of my period..its irregular and BC is supposed to make it go back on track right???
and do you gain weight or lose it when you 1st start it??
how much does it costs and whats a good web site to get information about it???
If you're under 18 you can get it for free.
Go to Planned Parenthood or your regular doctor for information.
It will make your periods regular, lighter, and less painful.
Some women gain a lot of weight, but the average weight gain is only 2 pounds.

Okay, this may sound weird, but here it goes. I've never had a canker sore before, but recently, one grew inside my lower lip. I have always heard my friends complaining about this but they never said much about it. How do you get them and how can you make them go away/prevent them?
Please, don't wash your mouth out with bleach. Swish with Listerine or diluted H2O2 instead. Fewer germs=faster healing!

Would someone please tell me what a "pap smear" is! I know it has to do with going to the gyno. But what is it and what is it for? And how is it done?-Thanks!
A pap smear is rather uncomfortable but not usually painful. She'll put some goo on her finger and insert it in your vagina and feel your organs. Then, she'll insert a hollow tube called a speculum to keep the passage open while she shines a light on your cervix and gathers some cells with a cotton swab. The cotton swab is analyzed in a lab to test for lady-problems :) You should start getting a pap smear once a year when you turn 18, become sexually active, or start taking birth control pills - whichever comes first.

someone told me that if water is cold it fastens up your metabolism more then warm water would, is that true? also what other things speed up your metabolisn..thank you
If you're talking about the water you drink, then you're kinda right: it takes more energy for your body to warm up cold water to your body temperature.

Tell your teacher/prof about your concerns, and maybe s/he can hook you up with a tutor.

Um...belief in God is not required to get married, at least not in the United States (or anywhere else I know of), and though I'm sure there are many atheist goths, not all goths are atheists.

my neighbor was pregnant with twins, not even 5 months in the the pregnancy her water broke and the babies were born, sadly, ian passed away because he wasn't strong enough to breath on his own. it's a closed ceromnoy so only my family and two others are invited. do you think i should go, the atmosphere of wakes just scare me peroid. honestly, i want to go, i'm just iffy about it. do you think she'd understand.. x3
In this situation, your neighbor's feelings are more important than your own. Just being there will be important to her. Your absence will definitely be noticed, especially considering so few people are invited to the funeral/wake anyway. So you don't have to stand around feeling uncomfortable not knowing what to say, offer to help out with babysitting her other kid or something. Being useful will keep your mind occupied.

They're not racist, but they don't approve of interracial dating? Sounds pretty racist to me.

Well im 16 and lately I have been feeling really lethargic and sad. I have cried pretty much every single day or I have been in a bad mood and didnt want to do anything. I can never fall asleep at night and when I wake up in the morning I am still tired and want to go back to bed. I took some tests online and one of them said that "The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high." and I took a few more and they pretty much said it was high. But I cant tell my mom or step dad about it because they will tell me im fine like they always do. They will say im just overreacting and its not a big deal. But I have been feeling like this for the past year or so, not constantly but it just gets bad sometimes. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?
If your parents won't take you seriously, talk to a school counselor/psychologist/nurse and maybe s/he can convince your parents to get you some help.
If you have any other questions about depression, I (unfortunately) have a lot of personal expertise.

Beginners should always start out with pencil.

what is the best prescription treatment for acne
Accutane, hands down. It's hardcore - it will kick your acne's ass forever but it also has some hardcore side effects. Lemme know if you have any questions (or talk to a doctor, since s/he is a professional and I'm just some random person on the Internet).

Okay, I have this Church class that starts really early in the morning, around 5:50 am. I really need to go to this class but i am tring to keep myself awake the whole time so I don't ;earn anything. My mom told me i don't have to go but I fell like I need to?! What should I do?!
Adults need 8 hours of sleep, and teenagers need even more. Assuming you get up around 5am, you need to go to bed by 9pm to get your full 8 hours. Caffienated drinks aren't very good for you, but some coffee or tea in the morning may help. Is there an afternoon or evening class you could go to instead? Not getting enough sleep can wreck you, especially while you're still growing.

Do you guys think my mom would freak out if i married some one older than she is?

My little brother suffers from an extreme case of obsessive compulsive dissorder and a short fuse. How do I deal with his upsetting behavior?
If he's seeing a doctor/therapist for his problem (which he should be), that person can give you some information on how to deal with it.

Well lets start off my saying im 13/f and I weigh 155.I use to weigh 165 but then I stopped eating and I lost 10 pounds and well not eating isn't very healthy for you body and ive tried exercising with correct eating and that still didn't help so I just completely stopped eating and I think I over exercised.I would exercise 3 or more times a day for an hour or more and well I know im going about this the wrong way.I hate the way I look when I look into the mirror and I hate when I go shopping and nothing fits.Im a size 13 in Jr.'s clothes.Most ppl tell me that Im just exagerating about how big I really am and well I might be but if you were in my position you probably wouldn't like the way you looked either.Anyways to get to the point I need another way to help myself to lose weight or to gain self-confidence and be happy about the way I look without becoming anorexic.I can still eat so Im not completely anorexic yet so I need help before I get to that point.If anyone has any advice once so ever plz give me it.And I think Im pretty and all but I just hate the way my stomach looks.So plz help.I'll rate good so plz just help.Thank you.
-Unhappy and Depressed about my weight
Because you're young and still growing and all that, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about an appropriate weight-loss program. The programs some other people have been mentioning are aimed at adults, not teens, and may not be the best option for you.

Sounds like you have depression. Please talk to a doctor. If you have any questions, I (unfortunately) have quite a bit of expertise.
