Can someone tell me more about Bisphenol A? I read a few things but I guess they are all over my head since they use a bunch of chemical names and stuff.
It just mostly talks about how if you use plastic baby bottles you will have agressive crazy kids.
Can someone tell me how worried I should be? Are there other things that it is in? Do I throw all the plastic cups away? (link)
|
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used to make polycarbonate plastic resins, epoxy resins, and other products.
It is used to make plastic hard & usable, to put it simply. It is in almost everything from baby bottles, to DVDs, food & drink cans etc. The only alternative for you to use would be glass.
I did some reading and You're right, its hard to find anything giving a good answer. Most of the sites I would consider legit, say it isn't harmful to humans. Both sides of the argument say there are scientific studies supporting their opinions.
Since it has been used for 50 years, I personally am going to assume that if it was a huge problem, it would have been dealt with by now. Its been around my entire life.
If you want to switch to glass products for everything, you certainly can. I just don't put much stock in special interest groups opinions.

I feel like this is never going to end! I get headaches every single night and I don't know what to do about it. i have taken asprin tylenol and excedrin but they only help a little. It is every night. is there anything I can try or do to get rid of these darn headaches? (link)
|
If you have one every night I am going to guess it is probably tension headaches. Now, I am not a doctor, and any headache that is continuous like this should be discussed with your doctor.
Try a hot shower...hot as you can handle, and aim the water at your neck and shoulders. That helps me some combines with some aspirin & ibuprofen.
DO NOT do this immediately before or after a shower but, try putting some heat making pain relief cream on your neck & shoulders. I find the cream works for me every time and it doesn't take long to work. It does give you a medicine like smell. If you're like me though you won't care as long as the headache is gone!
Now that I'm older I don't have headaches as often as I did. When I was younger though I had them everyday too. It is probably just tension from the day but again, talk to your doctor about them. :)

when me and my boyfriend dry hump or i rub against something i orgasm but people say that is a clit orgasm and the orgasm you get from penetration feels different and way better. the orgasm i get from rubbing against something only lasts about 10 seconds and i cant really feel pain while its happening and it jus makes me wanna keep going till its over. how does the other orgasm feel? (link)
| |
Sharing the orgasm may make it feel different to people mentally. But even though each one can be a little different, they are all basically the same. During actual sex the woman's clitoris is simply just stimulated by the males pelvic area.

Okay so the other night i was fooling around with this guy and i wouldnt call what we did sex because it never fully went in and im pretty sure he never came.however he didnt use a condem, but ive been on birthcontrol for a good 3 years but this weekend i missed pills and lost my birthcontrol and am getting a new pack in like an hour. And my cherrys never even been popped. I know obviously theres still a chance i could be pregnant but i guess i need someone to reassure me that im just freaking myself out. Also i got over my period like 3 weeks ago but than was bleeding for a couple of days last week because i missed pills. Im supposed to get it next week, so what should i do till than? I reallly just need someone to calm me down about it.

I wasn't going to answer this but you got a lot of misinformation so I will.
1. The hymen (cherry) is NOT a solid barrier that sperm couldn't get through. For more info...http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=1105&userboard_id=15647
2. The hymen is NOT inside you somewhere. It is an
external covering. If he was inside you at all...even just a little, chances are it was either broken, or you didn't have one.
3. You should always take your pills daily to be absolutley sure you do not get pregnant. However, since you have been on the pill for 3 years already, your chances of getting pregnant because you missed a couple of pills, is very small. Try not to forget again, but you are more than likely not pregnant this time. Every medication a person uses has some sort of half life. You have 3 years worth in your system.
4. Do not panic if you don't get your period on time this month, or if those couple of days you had are it. Missing pills could be the cause and not a pregnancy.

How bad is it if you poop blood? Seriously, like do I need to go to the emergency room? Should I call 911? (link)
|
Call your doctor. There are hundreds of reasons for blood in the stool & most of them are not medical emergencies. A real emergency would be just bleeding from the rectum without going to the bathroom. Continuous bleeding.
The most common cause for bloody stools is hemorrhoids. Painful at times but not an emergency.
Eating some foods like beets or some red foods and drinks can look like blood in the stools.
Now, I am not saying you shouldn't have the problem checked out. It can occasionally be a sign of something more serious. Call your doctor and get an appointment. I'm just saying it usually isn't a major emergency.
For the person below who mentioned internal bleeding...no. If you had internal bleeding you would be more likely to have excruciating abdominal pain. If there were any rectal bleeding involved & you were still home and able to type I would very surprised. You would have no doubt it was a medical emergency.

Okay. I'm 13 I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX SO DON'T SAY THAT!! Haha. I Just Want To Make My Boyfriend Horny Hehe. It Is SO Hilarious WHen Guys Are Horny! The Look ON His Face And His Actions Have Me Rolling On The Floor Haha. SO WHat SHould i Do? (link)
|
You mean you want to be a tease? Thats not a great thing to aspire to. You are basically saying its funny to make some guy miserable.
You are to young and immature for a boyfriend. Sorry, I'm just being honest here. You should
stick to playing with Barbie until you grow up
a little more.
*Edit* If not "knowing" a person made advice worthless, this site wouldn't be of use to anyone.
"It Is SO Hilarious WHen Guys Are Horny! The Look ON His Face And His Actions Have Me Rolling On The Floor Haha." THAT is immature. 13 or 50. Age isn't the issue. An immature cock tease is an immature cock tease. They usually end up alone. By the way, a rating of one is for abusive advice.
Being honest is far from abusive.
L2 warning for ratings abuse...If you rate a one you better follow it up with an abuse report.
You don't have to bother this time as I am going to be going it for you.

when my boyfriend is fingering me ill climax...then he'll keep going and it kinda hurts...i guess it gets really sensitive...is this normal? or is there a way to stop it? (link)
|
Being more sensitive is normal. There really isn't any way to stop it. Just tell him this and have him
either stop after you climax, or ease up and be more gentle.

Just a guess here but your watching movies with the neighbor was probably just a good excuse to break up. He may have been looking for an out for a while.
I know that isn't what you wanted to hear but it could very well be the way it is.
It will take some time to get over it, but you will. Don't try to harm yourself. It will not bring him back, & will more likely drive him further away. Nobody wants to be guilted into staying with someone. No guy that, believe it or not, you will get over soon, is worth harming yourself over.
It seems like the end of the world today, but it isn't. Grieve the loss a few days and then pick yourself back up and get back out there. You will find someone even better soon.

im 5 months, maybe a week more than that. before i was really skinny plus im tall, so my bump isnt that big at all.
the thing is, i cant feel my baby move at ALL. i mean, i thought that i did when i was 4 months just like little flutters. but now when its supposed to be more noticable i cant feel it at all.
is this normal ?
thanks (link)
|
You should feel the baby move at about 4 months. They don't tend to be really active until later in the pregnancy. So, it is very possible you aren't feeling its every move quite yet.
If it is really bothering you though, ask your doctor about it. It will make you feel much better hearing it from the doctor. :)
|
|
Ok, here's the problem. A really good friend of mine, Nick, has been in a bad relationship for a while. It is clearly causing him pain and frustration. Friday night, we were watching a movie and eventually started making-out. It lasted about 2 hours. I don't know what to do about it. Should I talk to him? We said it wouldn't be awkward, but I do kind of like him. I'm very confused. What should I do? (link)
|
You should definitely talk to him. First thing you need to find out is this...Is his relationship as bad as he told you, or was he feeding you a "feel sorry for me" bunch of BS just to get you to make out with him.
Your confusion is understandable. Friend or not, do not make out with a guy if he is already in a relationship, good or bad. You may think he would never do something like that to you...you would be wrong.

Would getting a birth control shot or getting put on birth control help me gain weight?
& If so, how should I go about asking my mom about it, I don't want it cause of sex, but I'm just too small! (link)
| |
No it wouldn't. People don't understand that the weight gain associated with taking birth control pills is very small. Maybe a pound. Much more than that and they are just eating to much.
|
|
i herd that when you have your period and you eat alot of sugary foods like chocolate and lollies etc you dont gain weight is that ture?if so why is that? (link)
|
Boy, it sure would be nice if that were true.
If you eat a lot of sweets or sugary food you gain weight. It doesn't matter when you eat it. It WILL NOT magically disappear when your period is over.
Some woman may crave sweets while on their period.
If they give in and pig out, they will gain weight, and it will stay until it is exercised away and/or
they learn not to give in to the cravings.
While on your period you may get bloated and gain
"water weight". THAT will go away when the bloating does.

For quite some time ive been so tired and confussed and frustrated in everyday life, and dont know wether im coming or going. Im 25 i have 2 children and married for 7 years. Kids are healthy and sweeet my marriage is fine. But my head is pounding, I have no energy, im tired all the time and i eat quite well. I dont understand whats wrong with me. I saw the dr. and I was given anti-depressent tables, ive been taking them for almost 3months now, But i still im so depressed and tired, I went back to the dr's and had a blood test and everything came back normal, But why am I still so dam tired, I really can not function, Im just so tired and my head is so cloudy, i cant think, i cant remember things, my son misses out on kinder quite often cause i either forget or im crying and tired and cant drive him cause im not thinking straight and the fact i dont want to see people and talk to anyone. Part of me feels that im so stupid for being so called depressed where I feel i have nothing to be depressed for, theres nothing, I should be happy, i have a great life, so why do I wish i could just stay asleep and never wake up, I feel every day that I want to die, I feel crazy and confussed, but i dont understand why. I wish there was some sort of medical reason to why i feel like this, but dr's say im fine, but i dont feel fine, i dont feel normal. Im not happy but i dont know why, I feel im not depressed because im unhappy, I feel Im so tired and depressed cause somethings wrong with me. I need something to help me, not someone, cause i know theres nothing more someone can say to me to make me feel better cause Ive heard it all, ive spoken to so many peple, nothings helping, I dont know what to do anymore, I want to give up and die, but i dont, but i do, I aguee with myself and scream and hit my self and go cazy cause my head is just clouding my thoughts, I feel dum and stupid for feeling the way i do. Apart from that, I eat well, I try to do some exercise, even for 10-15min slow walking on the tredmil, nothing works, Ive put on 18kg in the last 12months, WHY? I dont know, I dont understand, I got cheaked to see if it were my thyroid, but thats apparrently normal, So I would like to know, what on earth is wrong with me. Im going cazy, I hate everything around me, but I know I shouldnt, but I do, I need help, but what, what can i do differant to what im already doing. Its crazy, its stupid, Its dum the way im feeeling, Im just so dam tired I want to stay asleep for eternity.
These poor kids are suffering, they see me crying and tried and depressed all day long, and Im just not copeing, my husband trys to talk to me, and i just cant (i dont know) I just dont understand, I want to scream. Im so tired and irrational, and frustrated.. Pplease I dont know what to do anymore, and yes Ive tried many time to kiss myself with a knife and taking lots of pain pills, nothing worked. But part of me didnt want it to work, but at the same time i do. I cant make up my mind, my head is just exploding. I dont know how to make choices, Im angry and moody and tired and depressed and i feel crazy like, and I feel this is just rediculous. I need this feelings to stop. I need something. please, tell me what is wrong with me, please????? (link)

You don't have to have an awful life or even be unhappy with your life to be depressed. That is a myth that leaves many people like yourself feeling guilty over being depressed, which in turn probably makes the depression worse!
Sometimes life itself just gets to be to much. My daughter has suffered it. She too has 2 young children. Close in age. But that really doesn't matter. She sometimes feels that she can't just get out and go somewhere. Takes planning and is just a pain in the ass when you have 2 kids to haul around with you. She loves them to pieces and is a great mother but because she is, she feels guilty for being depressed because she doesn't feel she has a life of her own at times.
She is very much improved. She takes medicine. It can take a few tries to get the right medicine & the right dosage for you. Don't be afraid to keep calling and visiting your doctor about it. Unfortunatley, with depression, there isn't a magic dosage that helps all people. Each person is different & what works for one, doesn't work for all. It takes some time to get it just right.
So do not feel medication isn't working for you because its been changed a couple of times. That is perfectly normal.
Since it seems you have a husband who cares enough to try and help, let him. See if he won't
take care of the kids once a week or two, so you can get out by yourself. This has helped my daughter a lot by itself. Go visit friends, your mom, or just go shopping or to a movie by yourself. If money is tight, go to the library, or lock yourself in your room & play video games!
The most important thing to remember is that being depressed does not make you a bad person. You have no need to feel guilty about it. You can be a great mother, an awesome wife and more and still be depressed.
Call your doctor & see about a med change if the one you're on is not working. I don't care if you have to visit him/her 20 times, you keep after it. Also keep in mind that it can take up to 30 days for those type of med to get in your system good and start working. Don't give up on it.
If you do not have an understanding doctor (there are some of them out there), find another one. Just don't give up on yourself. Work to get better.
Best of luck to you. I hope this has helped you, at least a little bit.

Im 19 and the cop is 22
I have recently meet a guy who is a cop. I meet him at my job he comes to get therapy at my job. Is been about 2 weeks we are talking more often..but the main reason we initially started talking was because i have to do an essay assigment for my college class that involves a ride-along with a police department. So i told him that i havent got any response from the other department and what should i do. So he automatically told me to go to his department and do the application and request for him, that he will do the ride-along with me. long story short...now that we talk a little more im starting to like him. But my main question is how should i talk to him, he is a cop and i never liked a cop before??..i mean what should i say to him?...i dont want to sound dumb or anything like that.. how should i let him know that im starting to like him? (link)

I think I know what you're meaning here.
Before I started working for doctors, I
thought they knew it all and were probably
just to smart to even want to talk to me.
No at all true. They are people like anyone
else. Some smart, some not. Some interesting,
some not. Because you respect his job, you
are nervous. Don't be. He is just like you.
So, talk to him like you would any of your
other friends.
Remember when you are on a ride along, its
not a date. No time to discuss how you feel
about him. Save that for a time when you are
just talking. If he's smart he will have an
idea how you feel just by talking with you.
If not suggest the possibility of grabbing a
cup of coffee, or soda sometime before or after work.
Best of luck. :)

Okay so my brother has these weird looking mosquito/acne looking red bumps on his legs and they're so tiny but he says they're super itchy and it has my parents and I freaked!!! It's been this way since last Friday and we're super worried! We tried anti itching cremes and everything! He doesn't wanna go to the doctor because she's such a big baby LAME but I did manage to snag a picture of it to show you guys. If you guys know what this is PLEASE tell me and how to get rid of it. It spread on both of his legs and I think it's starting on his right arm also.

(They're much redder in person but it's the best that I could do"
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
(link)
| |
The only one who can tell you what it is would be a doctor. Tell your parents to take him weather he wants to go or not. That, or itch & be quiet about it. However, since you say its spread from one leg to the other, it could be something contagious. He needs to see a doctor before it gets to his face or something.

do pot and cigarettes smell similar? in what way are they different scent-wise? (link)

I can't really describe the different smells, but no. They smell nothing at all alike.

there is this guy, I'm fifteen, and he is about the same age, he wants to lose our virginity together, and i think I'm going to. But i refuse to without a condom, and i don't believe in sex after marriage, and i do love him, even if it wasn't for forever, and i just want to know if there is any other precautions, other than STDs and condoms and what not, and i have no idea how to get a condom and i don't want to use plastic wrap because that's not safe really.. this is kind of embarrassing so please don't judge me..thanks for the help !! (link)

Condoms can be bought almost anywhere. Walmart, Kmart, drug stores even some grocery stores these days. Buy latex condoms. They are most common so that shouldn't be a problem. Lambskin condoms do nothing to prevent HIV.
It is very important that you use a condom. I understand that you know this already...don't let yourself be talked out of using one. Do not allow him to put his penis in your vagina even 'for a minute, just to see what it feels like'. If you think there is even a remote chance he won't bring one, bring one yourself.
Do not, under any circumstances try to use plastic wrap as a substitute for a condom. Plastic wrap can be used for oral sex to cover
female genitals, but it is never to be used as a condom substitute for regular sex. NEVER. It is not safe at all.
Buy lubricated condoms. You also should use some lubricant if it is your first time. Use a WATER BASED lubricant. Using lotion, baby oil or anything else may destroy the condom. You don't want that. They sell these lubricants in most places right there beside the condoms. Generic ones will work fine. I understand it is an added expense, but it will help you have a better experience & prevent torn condoms if he has trouble the first time.
On my message board I have info on how to put a condom on AND how to take a condom off. There is also other info there. I won't repeat it here as it is very long.
Please go there to check it out. It can be found under the subject condom info. All the info is from reliable websites. All links to those websites are listed. I did this a while back to help teens who do desperately need the information, but are afraid the websites will show up in their computer history announcing where they have been looking.
I hope you find some helpful information here. :)

I am 19 and have a 4 1/2 yr old daughter and my boyfriend has a 18 month old son that lives with us. I am now very pregnant with twins.
Today, after I had picked up the kids from pre-school and daycare, I went into the store to pick up some things for dinner. While I was picking up the baby and putting him in the cart, my little girl was playing by the quarter machines. A woman (probably about 30 years old) saw me and said, "Aren't you a little young to have a baby with another one on the way?" I didn't get a chance to say anything when my daughter came running over, screaming, "Mommy!!!" The woman just looked at me glared, shook her head, and left. I just wonder what people must think of me. Yes, I made some really poor choices in my life but I would like the chance to talk about it so maybe some other girls wouldn't go the same route I did. It's not uncommon for me to get crazy looks or stares when I'm out with the kids--or even just one of the kids! At least I'm taking full responsibility for my actions by raising my children the right way. It's just A LOT harder with me being so young. What would you think if you saw me in the supermarket? What would you say to me?
Thanks (link)
|
Honestly, I wouldn't think much of it at all. I was a teen mother myself back in 1975, when it was probably even more unacceptable than it is now.
I don't know if its a good thing necessarily, but you'll get toughened to it one day and simply glare back at them.
It sounds like you are doing a great job. Don't let the uppity people get you down. Next time I see a young mother, I'm going to smile and maybe think of something to say to brighten her day. All because of your question. :)
I thought people were different now, but guess they never change!

Okay, so I went to work 3 months ago, and they made me shave because I hadn't and it's work policy. After I finished shaving, I stupidly took some toilet paper(it was still in the dispenser, though some of toilet paper was sticking out), not knowing if it was used previously. It didn't look like it was used but I didn't pay close enough attention to know for sure. I got the shaving cream off my face, which there was more than one cut for the something to get into, with the toilet paper from the dispenser. If there was HIV infected cells on there, would I have a chance of getting an STD from it? I don't know how long it was setting there, of course. There's no sign of any other STDs. Should I have an STD test and an HIV/AIDS test done just in case? (link)
|
EDIT:
I agree with Razhie. Do what you want. Get all the tests you want. People get costly, needless tests done on a daily basis. We just offer out opinions here, even when the questions are just short of stupid. :)
=================
=======No offense but that's a little far fetched. Don't worry about any tests. I think you are going to be fine.
