Is the blood that comes when you have your period different than regular blood?
same blood...your period just has tissues that were building up inside you to protect a baby if you were to conceive one, as well as the blood.
I am about 15 years old and I have had a wierd sweating problem since about the beginning of 7th grade (and im a 9th grader now). I have tried almost 10 different types of deoderants/anti-perspirant including mens. I tried certain dri and the Aluminum Chloride(Hexahydrate) that i got prescripted. My friend uses the prescripted stuff aswell and she says it helps her and she never sweats, but ive been using it since last year and it hasnt helped me. Have any ideas?
if you were prescribed aluminum chloride and it is ineffective, then you should go back to the doctor and tell him/her that. you might have a more severe case of hyperhydrosis, for which there are many levels of treatment. As your doctor what's best for your individual needs.
how do i tell my boyfriend that i really like him and enjoy being with him but he can be a little to hyper? i know this is really shallow but it kinda annoys me! thanks again!
yay for immaturity! (sarcasm)...just kidding, please dont get angry yet, because i do happen to have at least a slightly helpful answer to your question, when i'm done, feel free to take it however you wish. i have most definitely been in this situation before. unfortunately for us...guys tend to grow out of that goofy immature stage much later than we do (however sometimes it can be fun...don't completely hate that side of guys, its part of why they're so cool)...but if it happens all the time, or at the wrong times...i know how you feel. bringing this up during a typical conversation might be kind of awkward, but if you're ever hanging out with him, and he starts to act that way, pull him aside, when it is convenient and won't cause either of you any embarrassment around your friends, and let him know how you feel...just tell him that he's a funny guy, and you love to be around him...but it wouldn't hurt to lay off the hyperness/sillyness/whatever for a little while. hopefully i helped, if i didn't, just get him some ritalin and things should be somewhat calmer. ♥
14, female.We recently took a fieldtrip to go to a skating rink at my school. While at the skating rink my friend broke up with her boyfriend. I tried to comfort him, I told him she was retarded and a bit*h, but in a goofy voice so he knew I was just kidding. Well one of her other little friends took it the wrong way and ran off and told her. She got angry and started dissing me behind my back, and saying I was a bad friend. We are sort of getting over it, but now I like her ex. Everyone keeps saying he likes me too and that we should go out, but I don't want to make my friend madder. What should I do?
STAY AWAY!!! trust me, i know from experience...this doesn't go over well with the friend, even if she has told you flat out she is completely over him. give her time to move on to someone else, and to get over being mad at you. if you're trying to earn back her friendship, dating her recent ex is not going to help your case much, even if she was the one who called things off. sorry hun, but its just a bad idea. especially at 14, she's probably not going to want to be reasonable about it and play the "you're supposed to be my friend" card...and i doubt many people will take your side. :-/ sorry to be harsh, but its definitely not any fun (again...i would know) so please take my advice and just wait! ♥
My girlfriends bummed because I'm down on myself. She's wondering how she could boost my self-esteem. Any ideas?
if she's trying to boost your self-esteem or cheer you up...i'm thinking it would help for you to figure out what would make you happy, and consider what's upsetting you in the first place. sorry but i think only the two of you can fully solve this one. ♥
hey everyone what do you say is "in" style these days lol - I am size 00 and ned to knoe ware you get it
join the club! lol...no uhh...my favorites--abercrombie kids and 5 7 9...fossil has 0 and XS shirts which almost always shrink (and aren't very big to begin with) hope i helped! ♥
excessive sweat glands (is that what you call it?) well, i always have these sweat circles under my arms and i have to always wear a sweater over my other shirts and here i live in Canada and its going to be spring soon and i'll need to find a way to stop sweating so much, and its not like i sweat because i'm very active or anything, i could be just doing normal day to day things like walking and i'd be sweating under the arms. i'd really like it if the people who knew what i'm going through could recommend some antipersperents that are strong and could keep the sweat away for atleast an 2 or more hours and i'd really like them to be like.. deoderant type things because i've heard of certain dri but i couldn't find it in the stores so please recommend some deoderants for me. so far i've tried lady speed stick and soft and dri but they never kept the sweat away so please help me, sorry for the length, thank you in advance.
go to www.google.com type hyperhidrosis...click things until you find an answer that pleases you. lemme know if you have trouble
edit: hey that google thing on the side is cool! i never noticed that lol...but i'd still search hyperhidrosis if those don't help any. ♥
Sporkster here, and I've got a question for you lovely people here on Advicenators:
I've got this "friend" of mine who's been rather...hard to get along with lately. You know who you are, "friend." Anyway, in Study Hall one day she just errupted like Mt. Vesuvius. I mean, over something so petty she just blew it. My boyfriend had moved to another table to take a quiz and she came over to sit with me. There's this stupid rule my SH teacher came up with stating that only two people can sit at one table until ten minutes prior to the bell rings. My boyfriend finished and came back over, and right before I was going to tell him to wait a minute so I could finish talking to her she just..."*slams book together, packs up bookbag, moves* Fine, I see who's more important, I'll just move! *mutters incoherently*" I just was...shocked. She didn't even give me a chance to tell him that I needed to finish talking to her. Anyway, she's been really sore over this for the past week or two. I mean, she doesn't sit with my boyfriend, me, and our friend anymore. She never talks directly to me, however, she has this obsession with talking ABOUT me. She's lied about my boyfriend and me, giving people the impression that I'm some sort of slut. This is really starting to annoy me. Not the fact that she's talking about me, but that she's lying about me. I really do wish she wouldn't be so sensitive and...paranoid. Our friendship has been an ongoing battle ever since my boyfriend and I have been going out. I don't really want our best-friend friendship back, I just want to come to terms with her and "agree to disagree", if you will. But she won't even compromise with that! I've tried everything you could possibly think of and then some, but she doesn't want to listen to a word I say to her. Can anyone offer some sort of ideas for getting her to just listen to me for five minutes to sort things out? Any input would be appreciated, though I am looking for good, well thought-out, helpful answers. Thank you in advance for every good answer.
I had one of those. i'm offering full permission upfront to completely ignore me and think i'm entirely wrong, but i'll offer my bit of advice anyhow. dump her, and move on. you'll never be happy trying to make her happy, and odds are you won't be able to succeed anyway. all of your real friends and anyone who knows you will know none of the rumors are true, so if you're ready to accept that not everyone is going to like you, then ditch her. i know its harsh, and i'm having a hard time following my own advice because its definitely no fun being thought of as a slut by people you see on a day to day basis, but if you concentrate on the people who don't believe a word she says, you'll find out you're much better off without her. i'd love to hear how things go! ♥
i babysit this 11 yr old boy, max and i am 13/f he is taller than me and is quite mature for his age. the thing is latley he's been acting really strange. he asked me if i had my period yet and i tried to change the subject but he was persistant. oh, and the other night we were watching a movie at his house (lion king) and he is younger than me so he like layed down on me and pretended to be asleep. then i fell asleep too. when i woke up he was like all over me and touching my boobs. i dont know what to do. his parents pay well and i need the money badly. should i tell his parents, will they hire me agian? should i talk to him? HELP!
ok, i'm sorry but this entire situation seems strange to me. an 11 year old being babysat by a 13 year old?...when i was 14 i went to homecoming with a 12 year old (as friends...but still, that's ONE grade difference!)...i definitely think there needs to be a bigger age difference between max and his sitter, and after you tell his parents what happened, you should look for business elsewhere. ♥
Ok I have a boyfriend, and I just wanted to make sure that it was normal to think that he is a better person than you. He is smart, funny, nice, and overall an AMAZING guy. I just feel like he could do so much better than me! I know it's a silly question, but I just wanted to know if others felt the same? I just feel so incredibly lucky that he likes me and is going out with me. Words can't express how I feel.
yeah its pretty normal, especially if its a new relationship, but as you get more familiar with him and the two of you are completely comfortable in each other's company, you need to feel like equals. if he's so amazing then he'll treat you just like you deserve to be treated and you'll live happily ever after! ♥
I blush a lot. If I get a tan (on my face), will that help make my blushing less noticable?
yes, it helps...but when you blush, you blush, and there's no hiding it. don't worry about it, i blush over EVERY little thing...its not so bad, just a little embarrassing, and if you weren't already embarrassed you wouldn't have blushed!
I'm installing a fence on my friend's property and the posts have to be rammed into the ground with a tool that wears your hands out. Is there anything I could do to keep from getting horrible blisters?
obviously, the gloves are a good suggestion, and if its too late for that, Band-Aid makes advanced healing blister bandages that last for several days and work wonders! you should try some!
I guess this goes under this category but oh my gosh! i need HELP! Ok i am 13/f and i go out with this guy named David...well im his first girlfriend which is UNBELIEVABLE because hes SO sweet and hes not really hott but ya know! and so since im his first girlfriend his mom wants me to have dinner with them on friday...which REALLY sucks! because of ME! well i dont know if i can even go yet because i might have to go to my dads but still....i am SO SHY! like only around older people such as adults! but not people my age! see im so shy that when i talk about something thats kinda embarassing to me about my family, i get all shy and turn red...i dont know why and it makes me MAD! and its stuff thats not even that emabarssing!! anyone know what i can do to prepare or anything!?!
meeting his family can be fun, especially if he's a really sweet guy, his parents can't be too bad, right? just try to relax and calm your nerves when you go over there, listen to your favorite music on the car ride there, whatever you can do just to relax. when you arrive, just smile when you talk to them, and try to be polite, odds are they'll think you're a sweet girl. And if you have good manners and seem approachable, they'll probably find the occasional blushing cute. just try not to get too anxious about it!
This is for all you lovely ladies out there.
- What types of things do you like to hear.
Example. "You're beautiful"
What other things do you like being told.
Thanks!
i was going to say "the truth"...but someone beat me to it. it won't kill you to hear it again though. the truth is a good thing, we like it.
i really liked this guy, then he cut his hair and i just dont have any feelings for him, but i think he does for me... hes still nice and all, but do i sound jujmental?
i think the word you're looking for here is superficial. sorry to be blunt, but from what you've said, it sounds like you never actually liked him...you just thought he was cute, and now he isn't. when you really like a guy, you're going to like his personality along with his appearance, and you'll be willing to ignore his bad hair cut, or ugly shirt, or whatever might make him temporarily less attractive, i promise.
Why do guys always have to date popular girls?Why cant they date a regular girls?
my boyfriend is (obviously) not dating popular girls, or attempting to date them (as far as i know.)...maybe you're just lookin for the wrong guys. and yeah...they're also lustful and immature and eventually someone will come along who has learned to look past these flaws and is looking for someone worth getting to know (which would be you.) hope i helped!
Okay there is this REALLY nice guy and I like him a lot.. and he REALLY likes me.. but then there is my ex bf who also likes me.. This new guy chris I havnt gone out with yet.. and I went out with my ex steven 6 times already and it didn't work out.. I am thinking Chris but a lot of my friends r picking Steven.. Please help me..
Chris or Steven??
i've definitely been there...obviously things aren't working with steven and odds are trying yet again will end the same way all your other attempts have ended. i wouldn't jump up and go out with chris though if you're so unsure, trust me, the feeling of dating someone else and knowing you aren't over a past boyfriend is the WORST! you feel like a jerk to your boyfriend, and you aren't happy! just try to tell yourself its time to get over steven...and then it won't be hard for you to fall for chris without any uncertainties. hope i helped!
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!
you need to keep drinking water, its not healthy to go without it, and the period itself has already been created inside you and is just being broken down, so what you drink as its broken down won't have any affect on that. drinking more water during your period is actually better for you because it helps calm your hormones and cramps and water's always a good thing. as for your actual question, i can definitely understand why you'd want to lighten your flow, but the only safe way to get what you want accomplished is to talk to your mom about it, and go to the doctor. sorry, i promise its not that bad! hope i helped!
alright, well me and my boyfriend like to have fun were both 13..and like the other day i was just like rubbing his 'thing' and stuff and then hes like...said all this stuff..but i ended up fingereing my self with out washing my hands is there a chance i can be pregnet?!
please help!!
...why did you finger yourself instead of him fingering you?...whatever, i'm pretty sure you're fine. you have your age (might not be physically mature enough to concieve), the fact that he didn't bust, and the fact that he didn't actually go inside you all in your favor. i wouldn't worry about it.
ok soo my face is fine in the mornign wheni get ready for schhool, but then by the end of school my face is soooooo oily, what can i do, besides pound more powder on, cuz i hate to wear a lot of make up, its jsut really shiny, and gross.. but yeah like i i ahte wearing tons of make up, i jsut wear anough to loook natural, and nothing works i've tryed translusent powder,a dn all taht and i do clay masks liek evry three days, what do yuo suggest?
