Weird, but ive always wondered. Does gravity not exists for bugs like ants..or do they just have sticky feet or what? (link)
|
Gravity exists for bugs like ants. Unless it is really windy, you don't see ants floating around in the sky like they were in space. Unless they have wings,then they are really just flying. Gravity is keeping them grounded just like it keeps you grounded.
In 2003 high school students launched 15 ants with the space shuttle Columbia. They wanted to see how zero gravity affected the ants behavior. It made them more active.

My period is unbearable. its extremely heavy, very irregular, crampy, ugh. anyway. whats a good way to control it? is birth control the best bet? 15/f. heellpp (link)
|
I definitely recommend talking to your Doctor!
There is an over the counter herb called 'evening primrose'. I took it several months for cramps when I was going through a bad spell with my period, and I swear I didn't even know my period was coming until I started. No PMS, bloating, sore breasts or cramps!
Now - that helps your cramps but not your heavy flow. That HAS to be discussed with your Doctor.
One problem with heavy periods is they can cause iron loss and you may need a supplement or extra iron in your diet.
There are several reason for heavy periods (also called Menorrhagia if you want to google it.) Given your age, Hormonal imbalance is the most likely cause, and there are different methods of birth control that can help with that. Hormonal imbalance can also be caused by thyroid disease.
Talk with your Doctor. The sooner you do, the sooner you will have help.

my best friend and i share everything.
she massturbates, and she wants to get horny.
how are some ways she can get horny?
oh, and please dont say pornography, she doesnt watch it.
also. not doing anythng with guys either.
jsut something she can do on her own.
(link)
| |
I suggest reading tomantic books with love scenes. Watching movies that aren't pornography, but have love scenes. Making a mental list of places and ways she wants to have sexual experiences - and imagining doing those things (Shower sex, making out at school, hot-tubs/pools, under the bleachers at a football game, making out with certain people she is attracted to). The mind is very powerful. If she won't do anything with a guy, I guess that cuts out sexy phone talk or flirting.

where can i get these offlines or can i only buy them online? (link)
|
I am assuming you live in the US.
According to their website- the only US Doc Maren store is in Portland Or.
They also listed other stores on their web site for dealers. Go to the Store Locator option, just put in your city/state and it will list the stores with the phone numbers.

I have to dress up as Zora Neale Hurston tomorrow for history. I have long wavy/curly, blonde hair, and I realize the common style of the 20's was the "bob". So, any ideas as to what I could do with my hair? I have this black veil thing that comes about halfway down my face with a bow at the top, so I was going to wear that, but idk what else to do with my hair. (link)
|
You are right. The 20's was big on short hair and 'bob' style haircuts. But you still had the film stars with long flowing locks - think Greta Garbo!
I looked up Zora Neale Hurston ... and she is a black woman, so your long wavy/curly blond hair is a stretch anyway! I didn't see any pictures of Zora Neale Hurston where she dyed her hair blond or had it very long.
I suggest an updo... keeping some curls in the front it you have bangs. You could also 'roll it up in the back and clip it, letting the sides droop down below your ears.

Probably the wrong category /=
Okay so my mom and dad dont want me talking to this one guy so they went to verizon and got his number blocked so now i cant text or call him from my cell phone. is there anything i can type in for the number or something that will let me call and text him ! ( :
thankks . (link)
|
This is a special feature on Verizon that your parents actually pay extra for.
To remove him from the blocked list you need to sign on to Verizon Wireless with their password and ID.
But- I am sure they monitor the list of blocked numbers(he is probably the only person on it)and they can certainly see your text and call records to and from this number.
You could go 'old school' and use the home phone...
You might be able to create your own ID on Verizon Wireless and text him from the computer, but you wouldn't be able to receive texts back.

You know the Japanese symbol for Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers line?
Well, what does it mean? (link)
|
I hope I understand your question correctly.
The symbol is literally Japanese for 'Harajuku Lovers'.
'Harajuku' is a shopping area/location in Japan where teenagers dress in their own fashions/street style and hang out.
The term "Harajuku Girls" has been used by English-language media to describe teenagers dressed in any fashion style who are in the area of Harajuku.
Gwen used 'Harajuku girls' as back-up dancers in her Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005.

i was diagnosed with anorexia back in october
(it went undiagnosed for a few months)
basically ever since then, my weight and eating habits have been better, but im still no where near normal.
however i noticed that my hair never seems to grow
i tried trimming the dead ends, but it hasn't helped
i take a few multi vitamins
and yes i know the malnutrition is probably what causes this
but does anyone know if i can do anything to make it grow a little more?
it also falls out pretty easily in the shower (link)
|
As you have probably figured out, your hair reacts to what is going on with your body. If your body is sick or stressed, even mentally, it affects your hair health too.
It usually takes 2-3 months after a illness for hair loss to show up. In reverse, it takes 2-3 months after getting well for your hair to start getting healthy again. As you gradually get well, your hair will too.
Your hair will of course grow quicker when it is healthier. The avg person can grow their hair about 6 inches per year. As far as a trick, pill, or diet for "instant hair growth", there isn't any.
Cutting hair from the ends may make your hair look neater, nicer, and keep the split end away, but it does not stimulate growth.
Good luck in getting well again.

my boyfriend was really good playing college baseball last year. i met him this year and he hasnt been playing well. his team has been losing latly and hes not playing his best. i am being very very helpful. i wish him luck before a game, sending him cute pic messages about baseball, telling him he'll do better. anything i can think of a supportive gf can do. (we are in different states). today he had a bad game, he texted me and said hes turning his phone off adn doesnt want to talk to anyone for a while. he texted me back saying he talked to the coach and feels better. what do i do? (link)
|
I am an athlete and it sounds like your BF, and maybe his team, is in a mental slump. There is NOTHING you can do to help his game, that is something he and his team has to work out. But staying supportive will not hurt!
I know when I do poorly I feel horrible about letting my team down...I didn't want to talk to anyone for hours after.
Be glad he can at least let you know when things are rough and he needs to disconnect for a while. At least he is sharing with you on some level.
There is nothing you can do but let him know you are there for him. He doesn't want you to 'fix' it. He just needs to know someone is there believing in him no matter how well or how poorly he does.

A couple weeks ago I posted how my brother was spying on my room from his closet and i didn't know what to do. Since I posted this alot has happened. I tried to close the hole with a poster. A few days later, I walked into my room and it was pitch black (the lights were off and the shades were closed) except for a thin beam of light coming from my brother's clost through the well disguised hole my brother put in the poster. That's when I decided to do something. I wrote him a note telling him I know about the hole and he better stop. I wrote that I don't want to discuss it with him ever and that if he doesn't stop, I'll tell our dad. I put up a different poster, and the little perv did it again. He put a hole in it. I was so pissed, I showed my dad. Sure enough my dad, after hearing my brother's "side of it" (he tried to deny knowing anything but the chair and he tissues sorta gave it away) did what I knew he would do. He made my brother strip naked and then beat the crap out of him with his belt. He didn't just hit his bottom. My brother kept moving around and the belt hit him in his belly and even "down there" a few times. My brother shrieked and screamed so much he lost his voice and he's still hoarse. This all happened on a Friday night so by Monday he was able to go to school, but he was in alot of pain. A teacher saw him walking really funny and asked him what happened and my brother told her the whole story. The school called the police and my dad was arrested for child abuse. He's out of the house. My mom and brother blame me for everything. He told my mom about me having guys over, and now my mom thinks I'm a whore. I don't know what's worse, being spied on or this..
(link)
|
I am sorry about what happened to you and your brother. Both of you deserve better.
I am willing to bet that isn't the first time your dad has gone off on someone in the family. I am sure you have taken your share of the abuse. Your dad needed to be removed from the home. Even though your brother is mad for being busted/beaten and your mom is mad for whatever her reasons are...Your dad received a fair consequence for his actions. Don't stop standing up for yourself.
Remember - it was the abuse by your father on your BROTHER that got your dad removed from the home. You can't own guilt for that. And neither should your brother.
You gave your brother every opportunity to stop his spying. While I don't condone the beating...hopefully this incident will keep him out of jail later in life for perversion! Who knows, the next girl he spies on may have a dad or brother that doesn't just beat him, but beats him to death. Hopefully this will stop that behavior. There are some issues with him you can't own either. But you DO have a right to demand respect and set boundaries.
You can try talking to your mom. Don't be surprised if the talk doesn't turn out the way you want. If your mom is mad, then she is in denial about her part in this. Most likely she is a victim of abuse too, and can't see her alternatives or her own right to live 'not in fear' of your dad.
If you are given the opportunity for counseling - take it. If your home life remains abusive find a healthy way out - other relatives, friends, even a foster family. But don't just run away or try to live on the street. Find HEALTHY alternatives.
I promise, you will be more empowered the older you get and the more independent you become. Make the right choices in your sexual, educational, and work life.

18 female.
so i have some trust issues. never had a boyfriend. but i seriously love my best friend nick. we've had SO much chemistry between each other but the thing is he recently broke things off with his girlfriend of two and a half years. he treats me different than he treats other girls. we've only kissed once and it was just a quick little peck. we're really attracted to each other but i'm still skeptical of his "ex" girlfriend because he says their still good friends and still talk since they did go out for so long and they were each others first loves. i just don't know when he tries to get with me, is he doing it because he likes me or because he just wants to be friends with benefits? is there a way to tell? we're both busy people so it's not like i get to see him very much but when i do he always asks whats new with me, he wants to know ANYTHING thats going on with me, and gets upset and says "you never tell me anything anymore!" i just don't know. i'm not a good communicator either, so asking him if he just wants to use me or really likes me would be awkward. we've been good friends for about four years now, maybe even longer. (link)
|
I think I may have missed something. What benefits? You have shared one kiss and it was a peck ... right?
'Friends with benefits' usually means sexual activity on some level - not just genuine interest (how are you, how was your day, what are you up to, wanna hang out)?
I don't see where he is trying to use you. It sounds like you two have been great friends for a while, and you are still great friends. Maybe you even have more time together because he broke up with someone he was in a long term relationship with, and is free to hang out more.
I say just keep doing what you are doing and see where it goes. You DO have to open up and communicate or any potential relationship you have is eventually doomed. Issues come up that KILL a relationship if they aren't worked out.
Also, listen to your inner voice. Something is telling you he isn't 'done' with the break-up and his ex. On some level he is still hanging on there. That mess has to be cleaned up before there is real room for you two as a couple. He is used to 'having someone' to talk to, go out with, to hang around. Be careful that you aren't his 'rebound' girlfriend.
Until you have a sense of security and honesty in his feeling for you, keep things uncomplicated and friendly. You have known him for 4 years as a good friend. I bet you know him well enough to know when it is 'right' to move forward.

well me and my boyfriend went on a "break" he said he just wanted some time away from the relationship and stuff. we didnt talk for a few days after that because i was upset. but the next day, he still wore his dog tag to school that had my name on it. i had mine in my pocket so i put it back on. my friend asked him why he was wearing it and he said, "even though we are on a break i still love her". so we still wernt talking but the next day was saturday, we got in a huge text fight and the next day he asked me to come over. he wasnt wearing his dog tag but we resolved the fight and said we still wanted the break. we had been texting like everything was fine but then after i left his house i asked him how he was n he sed fine. so i was like do u wana go? n he said what? n i said i thought u didnt wanna talk to me. and he said, you read into things too much but sure. so i was like ok? and he said yeah bye. so then when we came back to school he wasnt wearing his dog tag. the last few days he hasnt been wearing it and my friend asked him why. he said, "why should i wear it". does this mean he doesnt love me anymore? or is he acting mad because i am acting mad at him and igorning him? or does he wasnt this break to turn into a permanent break? why has he become so mean all of a sudden? i just dont get the sudden change of attitude. we were texting like everything was fine after the fight but then he suddenly didnt want to talk to me. i really dont understand and he texted me last night but my friend told me not to text back so i didnt. and we ignored eachother in school today. why is he acting this way, does he not love me anymore? (link)
|
wow - I can see how you would be very confused.
You probably are reading too much into the mixed signals he gives. Because he hasn't really talked to you about why he wants a break and what he is looking for long term (friendship/relationship/see-ya), the signals are really the only thing you have to go on right now to decipher where things are going.
I can tell you, the harder you chase, the harder he will run. And you need to quit the 'acting' and 'game playing'. DON'T try to make him jealous. That just confuses the issue. Most of the time guys don't really understand the 'why' of how they are feeling anyway! lol
First, apologize for not texting back. Tell him you were confused about your feelings that day and you delayed answering until you were sure you could have a fun and friendly conversation. Hopefully that will open back up the communication. If he doesn't respond - don't obsess about it. He may be giving you a little payback.
Start treating him like a 'cherished friend'. Not like a boyfriend, but not like just any other guy that means nothing to you. When he is around, act like he is a fun guy you like to hang out with (no emotional 'do you love me' talk) - and when he isn't around 'out of sight/out of mind'.
At school, always give him a friendly HI - but don't wait around for a response. He will seek you out if he wants to talk/hang out.
Let him text you first -even if it kills you. Then respond friendly ... even a little flirty if it feels right, but not over the top.
Don't make him feel like you are looking for more or chasing him. Play it COOOL. If anyone asks how you guys are doing - put the work out that things are great and you think he is really cute, sweet, friendly ... whatever fits - no drama. No - OH GOD I LOVE HIM THIS IS KILLING ME.
I have seen a lot of couples break up and get back together. The ones that do, seem to be because the girl found a way to get the guy chasing her again - instead of desperately clinging to him.

So my mom is super pissed off at my dad for some shit that went down on Sunday. I think she's being a bitch, but, that's not my issue. How do I make her stop being mad? It's really annoying and its extremely unnecessary. (link)
|
Your mom has a right to her feelings - just like you do. You don't have to understand her feelings or even agree with them.
You can't 'stop her from being mad' at your dad. This is for your mom and dad to fix (or not fix). Their relationship is separate from you.
If she is taking her anger and annoyance out on you, or it is affecting you in some way, you can talk to her about THAT issue. But keep the conversation about YOU and HER - not about HER and your DAD.
Don't take sides. Your mom's feelings and anger may be a lot deeper and more complicated than at what happened last Saturday.

im 16/f and share a room the size of a closet (when it has 2 occupants) with my 6 year old sister. thats a bit of a difference. i need my own room before i go crazy.
my mom says if i can give her $10,000 she''ll give the rest to make me a room.
how do i make 10,000 dollars ASAP?
(link)

Honestly - without knowing your skills or experience it is hard to realistically target a way for you to make quick $$. If there was a quick and easy way to legally earn that much, everyone would be jumping on it.
Assuming by your age, your education and work experience is probably limited, so the best you can hope for is a steady minimum wage job. And $10K is a lot to earn if you are depending on minimum wage to earn it. After taxes you are looking at over 2000 working hours. Even if you worked full-time, that is 50 working weeks if you save every penny. Then - once you have the money saved to pay for the room, it takes months to actually build the add-on to a house.
By the time it all comes together, you are going to be out of High School and ready to move out anyway, leaving your hard earned $10K room behind.
I don't like telling people "it can't be done" but this just doesn't seem realistic.
If you had something of value to raffle off...or a rich grandma it would really help! Maybe call Ty on Home Improvement??? Could you trade your small bedroom for the larger living room so at least you have more space? Is your mom married? If not, find her a rich husband - quick! ;-)
Good luck. I know your sister most likely loves and looks up to you, but the 10 year age difference probably is driving you crazy. If you can't have a room of your own, maybe there is some way to at least carve out space of your own somewhere in the house.

Okay so im 17/f and my boyfriend is 18, we got into like a big fight almost two weeks ago and things have been kind of strained since then. We've been going out for almost 6 months and I really like him, only when he fels like it does he talk now and thats only been once or twice. I don't know what to do or what to talk about, i know that he likes bmx racing and video games but there's only so much i can say about that stuff until he gets annoyed. What should we talk about? (link)
|
Some people 'punish' others with the silent treatment or cold shoulder ... two weeks of this treatment is more than enough. You need to flat out ask him "hey, are you still mad about our arguement... and if so, how do we get past this?"
Look at the past 6 months. How has he reacted in the past when you had a fight, and is this reaction something different? Is he waiting for an apology from you ... or do you think the fight is something he simply needs more time to get over?
By the way, if this is the first fight you've had in 6 month, then someone in the relationship has been giving in a lot to keep peace.
This could easily be 'the beginning of the end' if this isn't resolved. When communication breaks down it limits how much you can improve the relationship. His cold shoulder/pouting/annoyed attitude may be a way to punish you or push you away - or it could be he just doesn't have great coping skills and doesn't know how to get past his anger. Maybe the fight made him distrust his feelings for you, or your's for him and he is protecting himself with emotional distance ... maybe, maybe, maybe
But coming up with 'topics of conversation' won't distract him and make things blow over ...not having enough to talk about isn't the problem ... and if it is ... move on.

okay so does anyone know how old you have to be to get into emo's alternative lounge in austin texas? or if there is an age limit or anything? because im 15 and i want to go to the 3oh!3 concert but i dont know if they will let me in. and also, does anyone know why there website doesnt have that there playing on the schedule? thanks! (link)
|
Why don't you simply call them and ask?
I called and they answered on the first ring. I asked if they had an age limit.
"Usually no. If there is we indicate it on the web site".
|
So Im 15, and Im pregnant, I don't know what to do Im so lost and confused, I guess I don't want a lecture of Im too young because its already done and over with. I dont really believe it yet, I dont know why but I don't. I have taken 4 tests today they were all positive, I might try and take 2 more tomorrow. But I guess my main questions are right now--
How am I suppost to tell my parents? They are very religious and they do not like my boyfriend at all who is also my baby's dad.... They dont even know I am sexually active, they think Im still a virgin.
I'm also on a lot of medicine can that affect the baby? Im not very far along only like a month but Im on Cymbalta because I am depressed, also I take Zyrtec, Singulair, and Advair which are all for allergies and asthma...
I also just started the garnasil vacination series today when I went to my dr. can that affect my baby?
Is there any way that all the tests I took today were wrong and I could still not be pregnant, I should have had my period on the 22 of this month.
Im just confused and lost right now, so even some words of comfort might help. (link)
|
First, take a deep breath ... I know this is a very big, life changing situation. You have a lot of decisions to make, but they don't all need to be made at once.
If you are pregnant, there is no way to get around telling your parents. Yes, they may be angry, upset and disappointed initially. Accept it, you can't change their reaction. But they love you and will get past their initial shock and will want to help and protect you. After all - this is their grandchild you are carrying and you are their loved daughter.
If they don't like your boyfriend now, they won't like him anymore now that you are pregnant. They may even blame him for not protecting you, even though it takes two to tango. There isn't anything you can do to change their relationship - so don't make that a primary worry. This is something that can be addressed and worked on later.
The doctor can answer the questions on the baby's health and medication...one step at a time and you will cross that bridge when you come to it.
Good luck to you. This may not be the way you planned your life, but it IS something you can deal with.

I sometimes feel like EVERYONE around me is pissing me off. I feel like everything they do or say irritates me and I end up feeling alone or aggitated. I also sometimes feel alone becasue I don't have many friends, they person I see or hang out with regularly is my boyfriend, his family and his friends! I feel like I should talk to someone proffessionally and maybe they could help me feel good about my place in life and maybe they can help me to react to things better. My issue is that most of the time if someone sees a therapist it may be a reflection that I have a problem, I may have some problems but I don't believe I have an actual mental problem. I want to go see a therapist but I do not know if I should, or how to book an appointment or how much it costs, or if its ccovered by O.H.I.P (CANADA). I also don't know how to tell my boyfriend. He means the world to me Ive been with him for 3 years, I know he would understand but I don't want him to think Im crazy? becasue I am seeing a therapist. I guess im CONFUSED! Please help! (link)
|
You aren't crazy. Just because you see a therapist doesn't mean you have mental problems or even have any problems at all. It may just mean talking with someone outside of the situation can see things differently and shed light on the situation - get to the root of your unhappiness and social isolation.
While talking with someone you may learn to understand yourself better and understand why you act and react the way you do.
You may find out you need an attitude change and you are the problem ... You may find out you should be pissed off and agitated and you need new friends. Or neither - maybe you just need better coping skills or a new way to look at things.
I say go for it...better to do it now and learn to be happier, than years later still have the same problem and wish you had taken care of it earlier.

This question may sound stupid, but I'm really confused. How do anorexic atletes lose the bulkyness of their leg/arm muscle? I know the body eats away at fat when its starved, but how does the muscle break down? Thanks. (link)
|
I have seen athletic anorexic girls with 'muscle tone' - but it is only a matter of time before that muscle tone is gone too.
When the body needs energy it looks for the easiest source first. Initially, it uses the fuel you supply when eating/drinking: First to be broken down and used is carbohydrates/glucose stores.
When that runs out your body turns to your fat stores, or lipids. Remember there is some fat stored in muscles. So if the body starts looking for more fat, and uses the fat in the muscle, the muscle will 'shrink' or lose some tone.
When the fat stores are gone, then the body turns to proteins which are found in muscles. When the body breaks down the protein out of the muscle, it is breaking down the muscle.
Your heart is a muscle.
