I have a random bruise on my spine and have had headaches I vomited blood and coughed blood and been feeling dizzy and I'm 16 when I was 5 my twin brother died of cancer (link)
No one here can tell you whether you have cancer or not. Your best bet is to speak with your parents about getting checked up at the hospital. Especially considering you are vomiting and coughing up blood. That is not a good sign whether it's cancer or not. So have your parents take you to see your doctor as soon as possible.


So this is a pretty strange question, but I have this weird craving for bird gravol. I have a budgie, and he has this bird gravol that basically helps him digest his food and stuff.

So one time my sister made me eat it as a dare, but I didn't think it tasted bad, good actually. It has this rock, sand, mineraly taste. I don't chew it because it's so gritty, I just let it get moist on my tongue and swallow. I've eaten it a few times, sometimes everyday for a week or so. (I've made sure to check it doesn't contain anything harmful)

So why do I have this weird craving for this? Sometimes it's like my daily vitamin. I love the sandy,rocky, mineral taste so much, but why? (link)
Many people have strange cravings. I've heard of people needing to eat dirt. From what I've heard it could be due to a certain or several vitamins you aren't getting enough of. If anything, speak with your doctor about this and see what may be the real cause. Heck, for all you know, it could just be something you like. *I've seen weirder cravings in people* But really, if you think about it, it's no different than how other's prefer one type of sustenance to another. Some people LOVE one type of food, while others find it appalling. Perhaps you just have a different pallet than others. But it never hurts to ensure you are getting all the required vitamins and minerals in your diet, so a trip to the doctor wouldn't be so bad. If it turns out you're fine, then you just have a different preference in foods.


my sister who is 22 went to jail for a year for fraud related charges. If I commit the same crime what is the likelihood I will be sent to the same place? I don't want her to be all alone in there. I am 18 year old and female as well. Also, it is a non violent crime and only a year so it doesn't seem too bad (link)
Non-violent or not, it will still be on your record.
Fraud charges may be classified as a felony or misdemeanor. State laws typically take into account the amount of money involved and damages caused in the fraudulent schemes. Thus, regardless, will make your future much more difficult to live with. You may not be capable of finding a proper job to take care of yourself, or if you decide later on, to take care of your child(ren), or even your sister. I understand, it's painful seeing someone you care about stuck in such a place, *my twin ended up going to jail* and honestly, I had considered going with her, but in the end, it would of only hurt her more than made her happy. I understand, you want to be with your big sister, but you don't want her to hurt and hate herself, because in the end, she will blame herself for your future. Don't put that burden or pain on her.


I am 18.. i got horribly stoned.. I got kicked out of my pg ( paying guest ) my parents n bro have grounded me..They keep on accusing me.. I feel like shit !! I am in a relationship but my parents have confiscated my cell and i am not allowed to go out of my home alone.. its hell !! i wanna die.. how can i do that effectively and kinda painlessly ? (link)
Killing yourself over a minor punishment is pointless. Sure, it's rough, but the reason they are punishing you is to hopefully teach you to try and make safer/better choices in life. Besides, you're only 18 at the moment. You still have many years of life left to live. If you end it now, imagine how your boyfriend/girlfriend would feel, not to mention your family and friends. As for effective / sort/kind of painless death, there is no such thing, other than dying naturally in ones sleep. Over dosing on pills, you'll be in pain for quite some time. Hanging yourself, you could fail and only paralyze yourself. If you truly take the time to think about it, all death is painful. Unless you're lucky enough to pass on in your sleep. Killing yourself will solve nothing, nor is it a way to get back at your parents for doing their job to care for you and protect you.

What is best is to consider your future, as well as what you must do to improve it. It's not so much that your parents don't trust you, if anything they are hurt and disappointed. It's not easy raising a child, especially in today's society, where children do what they wish and expect no consequences. Have you ever heard the saying "You reap what you sow?" It's pretty much the situation you are currently in, you planted the seeds for your own punishment. Just be strong, and learn to make better decisions, or be more careful about the decisions you make.


I have been bleeding for four weeks now, it was brown for three weeks but turned red again this past week, what does that mean? (link)
Have you recently had a miscarriage, given birth, had an abortion, or taken any type of pills? You have been bleeding for four weeks now, which is typically not a good sign. 1. Brown blood is just old blood leaving your system, but I've not heard of it lasting for 3 weeks. I would suggest you go and speak with your doctor or gynecologist to ensure nothing serious is going on with your body. 2. The red, is just the start of your new period. Which shouldn't be a problem.. But still, do go see your doctor/gynecologist to make sure your alright.


I might just be super paranoid, but I started having sex a few months ago with my boyfriend. We always use a condom, and as far as i know they haven't broken. I have been on the pill up until a few weeks ago, and we have only had sex twice since then, still using the condoms. I feel like i should have my period now, but i don't remember exactly when my last one was. I don't remember when i quit the pill. I have had a bit of cramping and so i thought I'd have my period, but so far it hasn't started. I'm worried that somehow i might be pregnant. What are your thoughts?
Thank you. (link)
With birth control pills, they can whack up your period. When you first start, your periods are irregular, and could happen anytime. When I first started my bcp, *when I was still on it* my period was unpredictable for months. When I quit taking it, again, the same thing happened, for 3-4 months, my period was unpredictable. The hormones in the birth control are finding their way out of your system right now, and so your period may be a bit irregular for quite a while. Just give it time, and it'll straighten itself out. If you are that worried about being pregnant *which I doubt at the moment, but you never know!* I would suggest waiting for about 2 weeks, and then taking a test if your period has not yet arrived.


I used to LOVE Christmas, not only because of the presents or festivities, but mainly because I'm a Christian and I love the holidays that are all about Christ. The problem is that every year since 2008, I've had a hard time getting excited about Christmas because I've always had to go visit my aunt and uncle and it's a long story about why, but I hate it. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I wish they'd be the ones to visit us for a change. Like I said, it's a long story about why, but I hate going to their home and to make matters worse, my uncle, as a gift, makes our plane arrangements and always wants us to stay for a week. And that means that I don't usually get to do what I want on new years eve and we're often traveling on that day. I try to be positive and remember the reason for the season, but it's hard. It sucks being around all this Christmas cheer and not feeling it myself, even though I want to. Please help. (link)
I know this is a late reply, but perhaps next time just tell them straight out. You would prefer they came to visit, or you could always tell them next time that you have already made plans. Usually, honesty is best, though not many people handle honest well, but you also have to consider your own happiness in the long run as well. Maybe even make arrangements. Tell them you would be happy to go and visit, but you would like to be home by a certain day, and then you can do what you wish to do on your new years eve. But always be sure to speak with them about it before hand. This way they can't sneak up on you with their plans. Perhaps speak with them a month in advance, or hell, even now. While you are with them. I hope I was able to help out even a bit, good luck.


My house is located on the corner of two streets. Lets call them A st. and B st. So image a capital T and A street is the short horizontal line and B street is the long vertical line. It's right at the corner. My house address for example is 4323 B Street. but my mailbox is located on A street. So, from a more logical standpoint, the address should have been listed as 4323 A Street, why in the world my mailbox is on the wrong street, I don't know. But how do I fix this problem? My packages go to the house across the street from me, and it's troublesome to run over and pick it up. There have been some packages that weren't delivered even though it was marked as delivered, and there's no saying that the house across from me stole my package or not. Would it be inappropriate for me to begin labeling my address as 4323 A Street without paperwork? The local mailman knows where my mailbox is, the only issue is when Fedex and UPS delivery come in. What do I do? (link)
Most Fedex and ups delivery routes have the same driver, delivery man/woman. I would suggest next time you expect a package, to speak with the delivery man as soon as it's arrived, I mean, the day it's suppose to arrive, sit and wait and watch. Explain to him/her how he/she has been delivering your package to the wrong house, and how because of this, you have lost several packages because of it. If this does not solve your problem, then perhaps get a p.o. box at your local post office, and have the packages delivered there. Or even speak with the post office workers. Perhaps they may have a solution to this dilemma. Even call the fedex / ups head quarters, or main office or whatever they call it.


Hi, I am an 18 year old female. I have had a painless lump on the side of my neck for almost two years and it has not gone away. It does not hurt or cause any disconfort for me. I asked my doctor what it could be, and she told me it was just a pimple (which does not make sense! It's under the skin and fairly large for acne (size of a quarter) and has not gone away.) I also have experienced frequent bloddy noses, fatigue, and headaches. I feel like I have a low grade fever most days, and sore throats off and on.

Do you think this is "just a pimple"? Lol, or should I get a new doctor?! Any ideas of what it could be?

-Blessings, Vee (link)
Well Vee, it sounds like it could just be a lymph node. They do vary in sizes. I have one on the right side of my neck that is the size of a quarter, but that is due to a minor sinus infection, and another one on the other side of my neck the size of a dime. Here is a site with more information about lymph nodes

http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/15658/1/Enlarged-Lymph-Nodes-in-Neck.html

Also, if it's swollen that much, and your doctor doesn't do anything about it, perhaps you should try seeing another physician. Just for precautions. As for the Fatigue, it could be due to your frequent bloody noses, as well as headaches. These are enough to tire anyone out. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and eat healthy. If you're not a vegetarian, eat some beef. It'll help replenish lost iron and hopefully help with the fatigue. But regardless, I would still suggest seeing another doctor for a second opinion. Just to be safe.

Have a safe and happy holiday:) And good luck ^_^

Hi. I'm sick (Just a cold, nothing severe) and I woke up and I felt fine. But an hour later, I puffed out my cheeks and my ears hurt! This never happens! It sort of feels like when you're traveling somewhere and your ears pop, I guess.

If I press underneath my ear, it sort of hurts. If I don't do these things, my ears don't hurt at all. I thought this may have something to do with my cold? I don't know. My mom doesn't come home until like 7 more hours, so I can't tell her yet.

I don't want to go to the doctor! They'll give me a shot! And also, I can hear perfectly in both ears. But I've ALWAYS had terrible hearing.. But nothing seems different with my hearing. Please help me as soon as you can!!! (link)
If anything, you may have just a minor ear infection. Going to the doctor office isn't so bad. You won't get a shot or anything, they'll just look in your ear, see if it's inflamed or not, and then prescribe you some medicine to kill the infection. At your age, it's probably just going to be pills and no needles. So no worries :) You could always lie your head on a towel and put a little peroxide in the ear that hurts. Let it set for 2 minutes, and then drain. *by putting the ear that is filled with peroxide on the towel and letting it drip out*

Plan B can, and often does, make a womans period early or late, and also it could change making it heavier or lighter than normal. These are COMMON side effects and no cause for concern.

Also, here is a site with information on the Plan B pill.

Hopefully this has put you and your mate's mine at ease.


My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years, everything was great until about 2 years ago he started being mean and getting angry about every little thing I did that he thought was wrong and kept bringing up my past with all the guys that I was with call me every name in the book, which always brought me to tears. The way he is now and him belittling me all the time, and living together he basically treats me like a slave, my family has been trying to help me out, telling me that I should just leave, but I know I'll still be in pain because he doesn't own a car to get himself to work and I don't know how to ask him to (we have joint bank accounts)sign his name so he's the only main person on the account so I wont get in trouble if he does overdrafts. The way things are right now and even close to Christmas he isn't easing up on anything and I just feel ending my life i'd be a lot happier, and would just like some advice on how I can get out of this bad situation. (link)
It's always painful leaving someone you've been with for so long, even if they do treat you poorly. Trust me, I've been there. With a previous relationship, it went great, until after time he started taking me for granted, saying horrible things, even hitting me. And to be perfectly honest, I wanted to kill myself. I wasn't sure what to do, I was lost and confused, for some reason, despite the way he treated me, I still worried. But you have to realize, that a relationship like that is nothing to kill yourself over. Your life is valuable, as is every life. I know it'll be hard, but you have to be happy too. It'll take time, but you'll feel better in the end. I know I did.

Anyway, first off, go and speak with your bank *or call them*, and ask about how to remove yourself from the joint account, and get what information you can from them. Each bank has different policies, so it's best to get information from them. Some banks require you to close out the account, and just have the one party re open it in their own name, while some allow you to remove yourself completely from it. It's just easiest to speak with them and get the information needed.

Second, to get yourself out of your current bad situation, you have to be strong, and willing to go through with calling off the relationship. No matter what he says or does, your family will be there to help you if you need it. Just set a time and/or day and tell him that you feel things are no longer working out at all between you two, and that you feel it is best that you go your separate ways, and if the accounts do require him in anyway, tell him you'd like to be taken off the account.

Third, if you fear for your own safety due to him, *I have no idea if he has ever been physically violent with you* then have friends or family members wait for you outside, or even beside you while you tell him. This way, should he lash out, you have some form of security, if anything should happen, they can or you can call the local officers for help.

In a time like this, you HAVE to be strong and you HAVE to really take into consideration your well being. Your happiness should be more important to you than the happiness of others. Unless you're a mommy, then of course, you have to worry about your bab(y/ies)first. And if there is/are a/any child/children involved, you really don't want to stay in a relationship like that. You don't want them growing up thinking that is how all relationships are meant to be, and then they end up staying in a sad/miserable/painful relationship.

So, be strong, and everything will turn out alright. I truly and sincerely hope that everything turns out for the better in your life.


As much as i try to cum it never works, instead i pee a little. I get so fustrated!!! All i want to do is cum and what is really messed up i've seen other people cum like it's a hobby... Grrr... :( Will sombody give me some good girl cumming exlamation? Cause this not cumming thing is on my last flipp'n nerve!! Pls respond to this post as FAST as you can!!!!!!!!! Wait one more thing: WHY IS IT SO HARD!!!!?????? (link)
For some women, it takes longer to climax than others. Some women can climax within minutes, even seconds, while others have to really work for it, I mean, go at it for long periods of time. Have you ever considered trying adult toys? Such as a vibrator? Also, depending on what you're doing may also make it slightly difficult. Like climax, there are two ways a woman can climax, there's vaginal, where all you need is penetration to climax, then there's clitoral, where all you need is clitoral stimulation, *rubbing of the clitoris, or vibrator etc.* Here is a site I found, perhaps it can help you also.

http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/sex_relationships/facts/orgasmtrouble.htm

Also, there are creams, jellies, lubricants, whatever you wish to call it, that sensitize the clitoral area, making climaxing just a little bit easier, if not completely easy. Depending on your age, *I am assuming that you are 18 years of age or older honestly* you can also look at adult sites *no not porn*, but sites for toys, and the previously stated lubricants. If you're like me, *I'm far too shy to go into an adult toy store honestly lol* Shopping online is easier. You get a wider selection, and usually, you get a better price range. Here are some sites if you prefer shopping online.

http://www.nitetimetoys.com

http://www.adameve.com/Adult_Toys

of course there are MANY more sites, but these ones I have found that they have reasonable prices, as well as a large selection. They are also discreet about their shipping. Instead of stating where the actual package is coming from, they label it as a different company, to ensure privacy :)

If you have no problem with adult toy stores, go to your local shop and browse around. Perhaps you'll find something there as well that will assist you in reaching the "mythical" female orgasm.

Every woman's body is different, all you have to do is find what works for you. It's not that it's hard to climax, it's just that it's hard finding what makes you climax.


My boyfriend n I have been datin for about 9mnths,it doesn work anymore...he doesn exactly pay attention the same way..n we r officialy not talking..the thing is..he has pride n I know he won't start talking..although he sent a text sayin he is busy with exams I shouldn disturb n now that he is done he hasn texted nor called.I want to end it but I need the best way to put that won't make me look angry,immature,that its just simply nt working out or even to make him break up with me..need help asap... (link)
1. Just explain to him in a calm manner that you don't feel as though things are working out between you two anymore, and that you feel it may be time to go your separate ways.

2. Typically, trying to make someone break up with you is never a good idea, especially if you want to be friends, or possibly try and work it out in the future.

Or 3. You could always explain to him how you're feeling about your guys' current situation, and try to work it out now.


Iam Miss.Manasa (20 years old). Iam from India. I was suffering from itching at the region of vulva and vagina area. What type of problem I have? What type of treatment is needed to me? Thanking you.















(link)
Really, it could be a range of problems, ranging from just not being clean enough to an infection. For a proper diagnoses, you are better off speaking with your doctor or gynecologist. You can even request a woman if you would prefer. But, go and speak with your doctor or gynecologist, and explain to them your vaginal discomforts.

Ok so my sister came to me, as if she was going to tell me something, and I said "What?" and she said "Nothing. I'll leave it to mom".

I asked her if it involved me and she said "Well I guess it does in a way.". My parents talked about foster care a LONG time ago just because my dad was in it. But do you think my sister is just scaring me?? (link)
If it's a foster home care thing you're worrying about, the only way you'd be put into a foster home is if your parents are deemed unfit to care for you and your sister. Plus, it wouldn't only be you going into this home. If your sister is under the age of 18 I believe it is, she'd be going as well. Chances are she was just trying to scare you. I use to be a foster child, so I know a decent amount about it. *I was in foster care on and off for most of my childhood life* So yeah, if it's foster care and you being put in a home, the only way that would happen is what I stated earlier. ONLY if your parents are deemed as unfit parents. Now, she may have been talking about something else. If I were you, I'd just confront one or both parents and ask about what's going on. Who knows? Maybe your parents decided to be foster parents. Meaning you may be getting a foster sibling. But as I said, speak with your parents :) Better off getting any information or whatever from them due to what your sister was talking about, than getting it from her. Besides, older siblings like to tease their younger siblings because it's "fun" ;p lol

Can i be pregnant by swallong sperms or can i be pregnant through bloowjob? (link)
You can NOT get pregnant from swallowing semen. The only way to get pregnant is to have intercourse (sex) and he ejaculates inside of you.


Okay. Here we go.

Basically I'm a sixteen year old female who likes an older guy. Now, the first thing I'd imagine that would come to someone's mind while reading this is that it's probably a sexual thing. And it's not like that at all. He's actually one of the youth leaders at my church and he's in his early twenties.

Yes, I know, that's a HUGE age difference.
And yes, I know, it's a bit of a problem.
And that's why I'm seeking advice.

Across time, there have been some strange "moments", for lack of a better word, between him and I. For instance, I've looked over at him randomly and caught him staring at me a few times (but I'm sure that's just a coincidence because people look at other people all the time). Plus, he's joked around with me a lot, and we've talked on Facebook a bit (but then again, I'm sure it's nothing). By now, the majority of whoever's reading this is probably thinking that this is bad and it needs to stop because it's inappropriate and such. Which, in a way is true. But on the other hand, I feel like it's completely innocent because nothing inappropriate has happened or been said.

The way I see it, I'm just a girl with a crush that will probably go away in a while. But then I stop and think about how much I really like him. You might say it's just that lustful feeling or the feeling of danger that comes with liking an older guy. And I've asked myself if that was the case. Honestly, I don't believe it is.

And I don't even remember what my purpose for beginning this "question" thing was. I think I was going to ask if I should just quit on liking him, to put it bluntly.

Look. I don't want to. He's amazing, sweet, hilarious and all that jazz. And really, the ONLY thing that's a problem is the age difference.

My question is, should I let something like that get in the way? I mean OBVIOUSLY I'm not going to make a move or DO anything about it, at least not until I'm of legal age. But what SHOULD I do, guys? I don't want to go for it or anything because of how badly it might end up (loss of friendship, the pure awkwardness of it, etc.). But I definitely don't want to miss out on the opportunity of getting to know a great guy.

Help? (link)
It's never easy getting over a crush. As for the age difference, you are young. 17, while he in his 20s. Perhaps, if things continue on like this, and when you are finally a legal adult, and both feelings are mutual, then it wouldn't be such a problem. But for now, continue being friends. There is NOTHING wrong with having feelings for a friend. That's how all relationships start, whether it's soon, or later. But I would suggest, taking time with it. This way, no one gets in trouble. Who knows? Perhaps you may find things that "turn you off" of him. I'd say, just continue being friends, if you're able to get over him on your own, it's fine. Means you didn't lose a friend, if you can't get over him, that's fine as well, means you gained a friend a partner. You can be with someone and still be friends. :3 And if he really is as great as you say he is, then hopefully, IF a break-up should ever occur, you both can still continue being friends.


wanted to increase my stamina for long running race (link)
Best way to increase your stamina for this long run, is to run often, as well as eat properly. Getting your needed nutrition and such. Wake up early, run on a treadmill or outside for about 30 minutes. Eventually you'll be able to go run faster for longer periods of time. Just keep at it and you'll do fine! :3
