See a doctor, But don't drink anything with caffeine in, it will only make it worse! The usually reason for headaches is dehydration: I think it has something to do with the fact that because there is not that much water in your body, your blood tries to take it from your brain, which results in the brain pulling on something or another: I'm no scientist!
But the best bet would be to see a doctor: It may be dehydration, or something even worse, so don't put it off!

I need help losing weight. I weigh more than what I want to be, but I don't know how to motivate myself to be able to want to exercise. I eat so many carbs, and not many healthy foods in a day. Please help me. How do I motivate myself? (link)
|
Hello, I speak from experience so I may be of some use. Here are some quick fire tips that I used:
1. You say you eat a lot of carbs. Try to exchange white bread for wholemeal, white rice for brown and white normal pasta for brown. These keep you fuller for longer, so you don't crave more carbs.
2. One of my weaknesses was hot buttered toast? Or pastries? Like cinnamon buns? The key is moderation: Don’t eat too much of unhealthy foods, but don’t starve yourself of them. Make healthy substitutions where you can.
3. Many diets say you have to stop eating after 6, or stop eating after a certain time. You can eat at whatever time you want, but eat conscientiously i.e. don’t sit in front of the TV; eat at the dining table, or with the TV off. Focus solely on your food. Put down your knife and fork (or sandwich, or chop sticks, or bread or whatever) after each bite, and chew 25 times, focussing on the taste of the food only. Savour every bit of food. The food will taste much better also this way. Also, by eating this way, you can actually taste how disgusting some foods actually are: e.g. processed meats.
4. Listen to your stomach. When you feel satisfied (Not full), stop eating. Just put your food away. If you are unsure, wrap your plate up, and keep it in the microwave/oven and go back to it if you feel hungry again. Just don't carry on eating. If you find this hard (Many people do as they were taught as a child not to waste food and always to clear their plates), then make and take smaller portions.
5. You can count calories if you find it easy. Food from shops now have calorie information on them (It’s the figure that usually has 'kcal' at the end of it). Make smart decisions, keeping in mind that the recommended calorie allowance for a woman is 2300 calories. If you are consuming a much larger number, slowly decrease your calorie intake by 100/200 calories a week. Jumping from, say 3200 to 2300 will be too great of a shock for your body and you will easily relapse. To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit diet. So you need to burn more calories through exercise than walking. E.g. If you consume 2300 calories, you need to burn at least 2301 calories to lose weight!
6. Lose calories by exercising. There may be some fun classes in your area, like Zumba (like the answer below suggests), or if you have something like the Nintendo Wii, that can also help. Make exercise fun: Walk the dog twice a day, ask your friends if they would like to join you on a stroll around the block, or simply go alone and enjoy the scenery and your surroundings. Start off slowly however: Don't go and try to run a marathon straight away!
7. You could sign up to a gym, but the problem with that is the high cost, as well as the fact that it may be quite a travel for you. Many gyms realise the tough economic times we are in, and so have reduced membership fees. But I use my natural surroundings: A jog/walk/run in the park, cycling around the block, walking the dog, Convert your garage/a spare bedroom/ a little space into a makeshift gym: An exercise ball, a few light dumbbells, a skipping rope etc.
8. Purchase a pedometer: It track how many steps you take, and they are very inexpensive, ranging from a couple of dollars for a standard one, or ranging to a couple of hundred dollars for a fancy one (albeit unnecessary features increase the price). Create a log book of how many steps you take, and try to increase the number everyday. A healthy goal is 10,000 a day, easily achieved by getting of the bus a stop earlier, walking to the store instead of driving or getting a taxi, climbing stairs instead of using an escalator etc.
9. Also keep a food journal of what you eat. Its shocking when you actually see all the junk you eat and really hits home when you see it all listed! See times where you stack when you dont need to and try to tackle this.
10. Before snacking or going for a soda, Have a glass of water. If you still feel the urge to snack, have an apple, or fruit. Once you do this, you will not feel the urge to snack on chips, etc as you will have already filled yourself with something.
11. Chew gum: It makes the brain feel you are eating something with the constant chewing motion of the mouth and so stops you from snacking.
12. Listen to music when exercising to keep you busy. Fast music really helps you to focus.
In short: Have fun with exercise and food. Experiment with different world cuisines, Google recipe ideas: Create a recipe book for yourself with all your favourite healthy meals, and keep your fridge/cupboards stocked up.
Hope i helped, and good luck. Sorry my tips are all jumbled up! I was typing as ideas came to me! :)

I cheated on my diet yesterday, does that mean I have to try to burn all those calories today?
I cheated on my diet yesterday when I ate a bag a chips. The chips were 1300 calories, does that mean I have to try to burn 1300 calories today? (link)
|
You will occasionally cheat on your diet, and thats fine aslong as you still stay focused and carry on. The important thing is not to be obbsessive about it. If you have a calorie controlled diet e.g.:
You eat 2300 cals a day
You burn 2300 cals a day
you are calorie neutral. If you then eat the chips, you would have eaten:
3300cals
and burned 2300 cals,
then you would need to burn off the 1300 cals to be calorie neutral, or more to lose weight. Keep in mind, simple things like walking, and even breathing burn calories.
Hope i helped :)

What happens if a male masturbates every day and produces semen to come out would it have dangers later on in life and i am only 15 years old. (link)
|
There are no health dangers that are caused by masturbation. Many people not only masturbate everyday, but many times a day. There is no problem with it whatsoever. Obviously you can become addicted: If you never leave your room, and spend all your time masturbating, over going out then there is a problem: But a quick shuffle a couple times (or more) a day isn't a problem, and is in fact healthy.
The answer below refers to sperm count in the future, and how it may be decreased by masturbating: This is completely false. New sperm is created in the body all the time, and masturbating does not lead to a decreased sperm count or anything: It has not effect on future sperm being created.
Hope i helped :)

Okay so I'm new to twitter think i'm getting the hang of it!
Whenever I mention someone however they don't respond.. I think I'm definitely doing something wrong?
I don't think it's working. There is this australian star who's not that big but I love anyway she has only a couple of thousand followers but she literally responds to everyone.,and re tweets for people whoa sk ive mentioned her a few times in tweets but nothing!?
It's the same for like normal people too.
I'm sure I'm not being ignored. lol So what am I doing wrong?
I would type something like
"hey @Jake saw your show last night it was amazing..."
no reply..no retweet no mention.
someone else could do the same "hey @jake you were great last night"
and next thing its retweeted and responded..
this is driving me insane.
Please help twitter addicts? :)
(link)
|
The only thing i can guess is that maybe you are not mentioning their full name? For example, you would need to mention me as @bobby67 rather than just @bobby or whatever, it needs to be their full name. Apart from that, I really cant think of anything except that maybe they are ignoring you (as harsh as it sounds)? They probably dont retweet/reply to everything, it would be impossible! Do you have any friends/family on twitter? Try mentioning them and see if they get it?
Hope i helped :)

just got high cow girl boots. and they didnt have my exact size so i went for the next no. down. it fits but is a lil tight and im worried my feet will keep growing, the lady said at my age there gonna stop, for her they did. so im kinda mad i didnt go one size up instead of one size down. i didnt even try on the size up. i have the receit somewhere. if i go back in a week can i exchange? if that doesnt work how can i wear them out or make them a little wider? thanks (link)

Hello :)
Usually shops dont let you change shoes because:
1. If you have worn them, they can easily get damaged
2. For hygiene reasons.
But do try anyway. Give them a call, or go into the shop with your receipt.
In reference to your feet not growing, every body's body start and stops developing at different times. When the lady said her feet stopped growing, it doesn't mean yours will too. And you should have tried the size up. But thats a lesson you can learn :)
In regards to stretching your boots out, You can actually buy shoe stretching liquid- just google it. They may sell it online, on Amazon, or Wal-mart: I have never seen it though. You can also buy a shoe stretcher? Its the shape of a foot, and you can adjust it to the size you want and it will stretch the boot out.
If all else fails, then you can just wear them around the house, and let them shape around your feet. But do try to return them as wearing shoes that are tight can damage your feet + bones. I have however included a link below regarding stretching your boots:

alrite, i cut out my name in fabric planning to sew them on to my senior overalls but instead i decided i want to iron them on. what do i need to buy to make the fabric capable of being ironed on to overalls? (link)
|
You don't need a special fabric. There are adhesives you can buy for such a use. Some common ones are:
HeatNBond
Vilene
Steam-a-Seam
Bondaweb
You can probably just do a google search for them to buy online, or maybe Amazon?
The name for such adhesives are "basting" , "iron on adhesives", or "iron on fusibles".
Hope I helped :)

ok i need to know if it is possible that in the near future we will be able to time travel. like im 13 so obviously i havent lived inthe 60s. however, i really want to go back in time and meet the beatles desparately. is it quite possible that time travel could be invented in my lifetime? also in addition, is anyone even trying to invent time travel right now?! and please list possible time travel theories as well. though i should prob be thinking about guys in my own generation, these are the thoughts that run through this 13 year olds mind. dang i was totally born in the wrong era! anyway, help a girl out and answer these 3 questions. kisses! (link)
|
1. Time travel will not be invented in your lifetime
2. Scientists are always investigating time travel and its possibilities
3. Theories can be found intensively on the internet with a simple google search of "time travel theories"
Here is a good article on time travel and how it now looks even less likely:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14289114
Chances are, its VERY unlikely that time travel will be possible in our lifetimes. If it is, it will need to be tested. And when tested, there will not be some sort of flood of machines, where every home will own one. There will probably be 1 machine, and they will probably charge you a fortune just to try it out. Even if it will be invented, will governments allow it? Imagine the unfathomable consequences on the future if you accidently killed a bug which completely changed out world today? And even if you went to the time era of when the Beatles were huge, chances are you probably would never get close enough to meet them, Maybe just get a glimpse. A touch if you very lucky?
Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey are still alive however. So the dream is not dead. My advice is to enjoy being your age, and stop worrying about whether you may be able to travel time and meet the beatles. There is a fine line between admiration and obsession.
Hope I helped :)

A relative of mine ha dual citizenship (USA and other). While in the US, he found a credit card and made purchases for about $200 over the internet. Intended to grocery shop, but did not work. He finally got rid of the card and now regrets his actions. What is the risk of being punished and what penalty coul he received? (link)
|
This is some info i found, and its quite detailed and interesting:
Credit card fraud occurs when purchases are made using someone else’s credit card or credit card number with the intent to defraud. Common forms of credit card fraud include counterfeiting credit cards, using lost or stolen cards, and fraudulently acquiring credit cards through the mail. Such examples of misuse are the most obvious forms of credit and charge card fraud, but unauthorized use of the number by itself — a more subtle form of fraud called "misappropriation"— is growing in popularity. Today, more than half of all credit card fraud takes place online.
The Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 1029 provides the penalties for “fraud and related activities in connection with access devices,” where access devices refers to any means of account access, including credit cards, account numbers, and PINs, as well as telecommunications services and equipment. The laws in the code prohibit things such as producing, possessing, trafficking in, or soliciting for access devices with the intent to defraud.
Though other state and federal law enforcement agencies can also investigate and prosecute credit card fraud cases, the United States Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against its “protectees.” Those threats include credit card fraud, as well as counterfeiting of currency and other Government obligations; forgery or theft of bonds, Treasury checks, and other securities; computer, identity, and telecommunications fraud, and a handful of other crimes affecting federally insured financial institutions.
The Secret Service’s unique authority is exercised in accordance with an agreement between the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General. Penalties for credit card fraud include fines and/or imprisonment for up to ten or twenty years, depending on the specific provisions of the law that has been violated. The maximum sentence for a second offense is twenty years.

When I run I lose my breath, If I keep running will I be be able to run without losing my breath?
I want to to be able to run around my park without losing my breath (link)
|
Well this is really just a matter of getting used to it. Chances are, that if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle, you will lose your breath quickly. So starting off slowly and building up is a good way around this. Start off by lightly jogging for a week, then increase your speed slowly, and so on.
Losing your breath is also natural: Its just your body wanting to take in more oxygen, and happend to everyone. But if it happens to you more often than others, or very badly, it could be an unhealthy lifestyle (if you live one)
Hope i helped :)

I'm a 21 year old male, and people don't seem to like me. I have some friends who if I really bother will do things with me, but I am still really insecure about whether or not they really want to be around me.
This is mostly about dating however, I'm having trouble meeting people. I tried online dating, but I find most people on there to be incredibly broken in some way, no offense but I'm not interested in a drug addict or someone who is my age with 3 children.
I have really worked to get in good shape, and have lost over 50 pounds and think I'm in good shape now. I'm in the last year of schooling for a great job in the medical profession. I'm responsible, have my own place which I pay for, and have a good relationship with my family. On paper I sound pretty good if you ask me, but I don't think people ever give me a real chance to get to know me, those who do know me well like me but its hard to get past that first 'hello' for me with someone I'm actually interested in.
Anyway my main question is how do I meet people who are single, and are in a situation where they are dateable? (link)
| |
It's not you, it's the world. I am the same way. I am a male, im not a bad looking guy, however i am very responsible, have a job, goes to school. I have traditional values, which not many people do these days. And sometimes I wonder why i am not noticed or appreciated. It seems that people favour the trashy ones who drink and party all the time. Its not fair, i know. But it's not your fault. Society sometimes accepts the wrong kinds of people. The woman of your dreams will come to you. You seem like a person who is very misunderstood, so don't worry about people not liking you. They're not worth it. Eventually, someone will come to you and truly appreciate you, You just have to hope and stay true to yourself. You seem like a really good person, and I beg you, please stay that way no matter what. Don't change just to impress people.

I have been with my husband since I was 15 years old. I married him when I was 16. I know that I was too young to make a choice like that, but we were so In love. Everything was great until we got married after that he changed. It was like he had decided that he already had me so there was no reaso to try anymore. this june 22 was our 4 year wedding anniversary, we have two children our son is 3 and our daughter is 1. We both love our children very much, but I feel like our love for each other is slipping away. I have not been happy for a long time. He makes me feel so ugly and unwanted. But I am afraid to leave him. I have been with him since I was 15. I went from living with my mom to living with him. I have never lived on my own before. I am afraid that I cant do it on my own. I dont have a license to drive, I never had a job before, and I dont have a place to go. So I feel traped. I love him but like you would love a family member I dont think I love him romanticly anymore. He always puts me down like for instance we have not had sex in a very long time I dont even know when we had sex last, and I always come on to him and try to turn him on but he never wants it. So the other day I asked him why he doesnt want to have sex anymore and he said that sometimes he does get in the mood but then the thought of having sex with me turns him off and he doesnt know why. That hurt me so much. How pathetic and ugly am I if my own husband doesnt want me. I feel so alone all the time. I want to stay because I am afraid I cant make it on my own and I am afraid to be alone. But I want to leave because I feel unloved and he makes me feel ugly and He is very mean and aggressive with me. What should I do? Can anyone help me? (link)

All you have to do is that,Just go near him and Burst out in tears and speak to him about your problems.. "Because tears can speak more words than words can say"

so i've had this problem for as long as i can remember. i over think EVERYTHING and always make things a bigger deal than they really are, or even make up things and convince myself that they're real- mostly health related. sometimes i'll over think things SO much that ill have like a panic attack and just start freaking out. i'm so sick of freaking out about things and being anxious, i want to enjoy life and get this under control, especially cause ill be going to college in the fall. also if anyone knows of any simple stress relievers that would help too. thank you!! (link)
| |
youre 17, so am I. This is the time in life where everything is a damn question and it seems like it is impossible to find an answer. I get it, i have panic attacks too when i feel like i have a million things to do, when i really dont. What you can try to do is to sit down and look over all of the things you are worried about, and write them down. And then you can write about each one of them and then you will know, that theyre not big deals. You also need to find some peace in your life. Start exercising to get in shape, its nice and peaceful. Start jogging around the neighbourhood, start writing in a diary to let all of those emotional baggage out. Try it, and good luck and please do not hurt yourself :)

Okay, so it's my 8th grade year at sylvan hills middle school in Atlanta,Ga. I was on the cheerleading team last year and I'm automatically on for 8th grade year since I was a cheerleader last year. I was good last year,but I don't know how to do a split.I can go down little on the floor and I'm almost to the ground but I can't go all the way. (link)
| |
you just need to do the splits every day and make sure you hold it for at least 2 minutes. just go down until its a little uncomfortable but doesnt hurt. do the left, right and center splits. practice practice practice and you should be able to do them in a week or 2. good luck!

Anyway whenever I get my period For some reason I just feel really dirty or weird so I take lots of baths when Im on it. Everytime I take a bath or a shower I never,like bleed when Im in the water.

i am a 17 year old girl and want to date a 20 year old. i have fallen in love with him but the age is whats getting me, he will be 21 in august. should i go with him and is it completely wrong. i'm stuck, dont know wat to do. any advice will help (link)
| |
4 years aint nothing. Think of it this way, when he is 50, you'll be 46. Do you think anybody could tell the difference? So no, it's no big deal. If he is a good guy, then nothing can go wrong.

|
I'm just curious, what are some things that you like when girls flirt with you. I'm a girl, I really like this guy, and I want to know what I can do to (I guess) flirt with him. (link)
| |
There are some things you can do to get a guy's attention. Get next to him in class and get close when you are talking (but not too close) Guys like it when a girl is easy going, they dont like to do the work. Whisper in his ear. If he's sitting down, stand up next to him and talk to him, as if he is looking at your whole body and fantastizing. Scratch his back during class, stroke your fingers through his hair, circle your fingers on the back of his neck, scratch his arm. This could really turn on a guy, but really, only physical stuff wont get you anywhere far. If you want his heart, you have to touch it. Flirting is just the first step, but dont make it become a habit where you would do it with just about everyone.

Yes it's utterly melodramatic, but I feel like I've lost my passion for life.
Back in High School I was a really bright kid and I loved anything creative. I had this weird passion in life and in pushing my potential as far as it would go. I think it was somewhat because people looked at me differently; I was a quiet, awkward teenager with a low self-esteem from a socio-economically disadvantaged family, and with divorced parents. Most people thought I was going to end up as a deadbeat drop out (and in the area I live in, it wasn't difficult to imagine).
I excelled in my classes and got into Uni. I've been in Uni for a year and a half now, and I'm just so unfulfilled and disappointed. It all started in my first semester. I had high hopes for myself, and ended up barely passing my units. I was going through some pretty tough times at home too, which didn't help the situation. For the rest of the year I just felt so stupid and worthless. Somehow though, I managed to go from barely passing to distinctions (75+). I've almost finished my first half of my second year and my marks are still increasing, but ever since that first semester I haven't felt that passion that I had in High School.
I wanted to go places, both career wise and physically. I had major wanderlust and confidence in the possibility of what I could achieve, but now it's gone. I still want to travel and succeed, but I just feel like I'm just not good enough anymore...
How do I get myself excited again about the world? I want to feel the way I did two years ago, just that drive and want that I used to revel in. If anyone has felt this way, it would be really great if you could give me some advice. (link)
|
you've went from the jubliant, happy, optimistic, over-eager environment of highschool... to the serious and strict world of college. It's normal. You graduated high school, and you thought that was going to be it. But then you started college again and realised, "wow, more school? Really?" I toally get it. But you must know something.
High school is actually worthless. Work in highschool means nothing, you are all doing it for COLLEGE. College work is where it really matters, therefore you should give college your all, because it is the most important thing in life.
From what i hear you are only 19-20 years old. You are young! Take advantage of it and hang with people and keep pushing further. You have endless opportunities and millions of chances to do things. You are young, enjoy it while it lasts, instead of feeling so sorry for yourself.

I have been trying to get my girl friend to admitt she is pretty she is gorgouse and alot of guys hit on her. And tell her she is pretty but still she calls her self ugly and unattractive i tell her how pretty she is everyday. And she is saying i misslead her into believing she is pretty idont know what to do ?????? (link)
| |
she probably actually thinks she is hot, but is only saying that she is ugly so that she can hear good feedback from you... Alot of girls are like that. They try and seem like they are ugly, to make people jealous, or kind of a way of bragging. But then they go home and strip naked, and look in the mirror, and whisper "I am so fucking hot". Thats how they are. If you really think this girl is hot, and if a lot of guys are hitting on her, she might just be saying she is ugly to tease you. Girls are interesting creatures, man.

i stopped talking to my boyfriend from afar, in the internet...
the thing is, i'm not sure about who i am, not sure about the things i do. i often don't understand myself. i don't understand my own mind.
i'm on my journey of finding myself.
he unfriended me on facebook and other social networking sites we've been together.
i felt like i made him feel bad about that.
i never told him the reasons why.
and i don't feel any good making people feel bad.
it depresses me
any advices?

You are probably dealing with depression. It is normal, especially for teenagers. There doesnt have to be a specific reason for it, it just happens. Or you might have bi-polar disorder. But i dont think you should have taken it out on your boyfriend. If anything, he could have even helped you through this tough time. And instead you discarded him like trash. I suggest apologising to him first and them see a doctor or talk to somebody, and never take it out on a great guy like that again.
