Hi,
Sorry if this is gross.
I have really heavy periods and I know that they might settle down (I've only had four so far, but they have been really bad - I can't walk more than 10 steps without having to rush to the toilet) eventually, but is there anything (other than going to the doctors, something I will only do as a last resort) I can do to make them even a little bit lighter? I dunno, natural remedies, food to avoid, drink less...anything?!
I also seem to have like a really weak bladder or something when I'm on my period and I always need the toilet (like always, and I do 'go' when I go to the toilet). Is there something wrong there? If so (or not) what can I do to make it so it isn't so bad? I've tried drinking less and even drank nothing on one day but it makes no difference.
Thanks! (link)

this is pretty normal lots of girls have to constantly use the restroom, but if yours is really that heavey, talk to your mom or friends about it. maybe they can help! o and dont stop drinking fluids cuz that wont do anything!!
good luck!

(link)

hmm that sounds EXTREMELY familier. thats exactly my problem ( except i dont have a b/f lol) um i have an idea but i dont know if it will work...
limit your amount of junk food. you can still eat it but maybe instead of having a whole bag of chips have half. try doing 20 crunches a night. i'm sure youll see a difference. i think im gonna take my own advice. lol hope it works!! good luck!!!

This February vacation (specically Monday) my family was supposed to go for a much deserved vacation to Disney with my aunt uncle and cousins... Well on Sunday their grandmother passed away. Of course that meant they had to cancel their trip with us and we decided it would be disrespectful to go without them. Well this is a very devastating loss for them I haven't heard from them since Sunday and I was wondering how long should I wait to see if they want to reschedule plans? Because I was thinking of going April vacation but I don't want to ask too soon. Any tips on how to bring up the subject and when? How long should I wait? (link)

ask your parents,and i dont think aprip will be to soon, you might just have to play it by ear hope this helps!!!!!

whats the difference between being christian and catholic? (link)
| |
Catholisism is a part of Christianity. Think of Christianity as one big tree and in its branches there are Catholics, Protestants,Lutherins, and a couple more. Hope this Helps!

i comfort eat a lot, how can i stop this its starting to make a difference in my weight. thanks appriciate it (link)

when you feel like eating grab a bottle of water it will fill you up! and studies show when you think you are a little hungry you may just be thirsty so grabbing a bottle of water is a great way to lost off some extra punds. hope this helps!!

I wanted to know if there was a certain career I can go to for these things. I've been getting really interested with the mind and what makes us do the things we do. I've been getting interested in things like, eating disorders, mental illness, personality disorders, insomnia, ADD, OCD, SAD, why people lie and a lot of other things like health, vegetarianism, raw foodists, etc. I want to learn more about this stuff, but not just through the internet. What are some courses that teach you about this kind of stuff and how can I apply what I know through a career? If you know some careers, do they pay well?
I believe I'm suffering from ADD, OCD and SAD. As I'm researching these, I come across other disorers and I get overwhelmed and I want to learn about them all... (link)

there are definitly good carreers that you can try. A Psycologyt would be excellent for what you want to learn. They also pay extrememly well. A psyciatrist is also another good carreer for the mind, but i would siggest trying a psycologist, but you have to go through alot of schooling in oreder to become one. you dont necessarily have to be an M.D. to have an office and start you practice, you can build up to becoming a docter. Hope this helps!

I`ve had a problem with confidence. I always let what people say, get to my head. Does anyone have any advice on how to raise my confidence? (link)
|
give yourself confidence boosters when you need them most like telling yourself how wonderful you are.
if you believe that you are cool or beautiful, than other peoepl will start to believe it too.
when someone gives you a compliment, say thank you instead of " o ur just saying that
do NOT let what other peopel say influence you for example if you LOVE a pair of jeans but your friend says they are uncool buy them,they are your jeans.
I also suggest buying a book called The girls guide to loving yourself, it gives advice on confidence boosters, it talks about family and just teen stuff. Hope this helps!!

is there any way i can get killer abs. i am 13(going on 14)/f and i have a little bit of tummy flab. and i cannot do situps for beans->lol. i want like a flat stomach so i can wear bikinis and stuff. thanks (link)
| |
oh my gosh that is totally my problem!!! unfortunaltly im not sure if my advice will help, because i will not stop eating and i dont think situps will help me either!! i suggest trying to limit your fatty foods, maybe instead of having a whole bag of chips have half the bag,but that is only if you eat alot like me lol. if you just want to have good abbs maybe you can try crunches?? they hurt, but they will help you. also this is great for your stomach, lie on the floor and put your legs together in the air. slowly bring them down while putting you hands behind you head as you would do with situps. do this maybe three times a day and youll get stronger and slimmer!!! ( if only i can take my own advice!!!)

Ok this is a serious question and please don't delete it! Ok I've been bestfriends with my bestfriend Katie for over 6 or 7 years or something like that. Ok well the problem is recently like around newyears she got back together with her X boyfriend who used to hit me and say bad things to me and stuff. I really did think everything changed. UNtil the other day it got real serious and we got into an actual fist fight! and I know this isn't right. I just don't know what to do. The other day I started crien and walked away. I don't know what I should do. I don't want to loose my bestfreind because we already had a seperation because of this. This is getting really serious and Im afraid if I don't do something about this I will get hurt not only physically..emotionally to..
Signed

wow this is a really serious problem. You DEFINITLY should talk to katie, and tell her whats going on. You also need to talk to one of your parents because they can help you to. If these fights are happening on school ground, I suggest talking to a teacher or a school counseler. You need to tell your friends that this guy is hurting you and if she doesnt listen,( i know this may really hurt to hear this and im sorry) you may need to find some new friends. I really hope this helps!! Good Luck!!!

so I like this guy, he knows that I like him.. but I don't know if he likes me.. but I do know that he has NeVeR made out or anything.. I have never made out or french kissed anyone. I'm going to ask this guy out.. and I'm hoping he will say yes, if I do ever like go to the movies with him.. what do I do, cause you know how people say, that the guy will lead the way? well that won't really work because be have never made out.. so what in the nation am I sopost to do?
thanks!

hmm thats a difficult question but maybe, since you are unsure of what to do at the movies, ( and since i dont have great relationship experiences) i think you should try something easier as a first date and an ice breaker. I would suggest the mall, or maybe to go get ice cream???? i really hope this helps!
