advice

I've have a reasonably long term health complaint, and I feel that I've been fobbed off a lot by doctors. I was wondering how to get the most out of my doctors appointments? I tend to end up ranting out of anger at still not having found a cure, but then clam up when I'm pressured for specific details about when a symptom cropped up or how long a spell lasted, because I am bad at remembering details and don't want to give incorrect or misleading information (which might hinder their diagnosis). What is the best way to tell your doctor everything that's relevant without getting sidetracked or having him/her give his/her diagonisis before you've said everything you want to?

maybe you get nervous when you go into a doctor's office, and that's probaly why you can't remember everything. if the doctor cuts you off while you're trying to explain something, politely tell them you're not finished.

theres this boy n hes mi bestfrnd (13) n hes been mi bestfrnd since like 2 years ago ever since middle school...n ive talked to him about hookin up n he don care..he would hook up wit me..but if id hook up wit him tht would mean riskin our relationship as bestfrnds n i don wanna loose tht...but i wanna hook up wit him cuz i llike him a lil bit..but im holdin bak cuz he went out wit mi frnd n ever since they broke up all she talks about now is how much she misses him n how much she still likes him n i don wanna bring up tht we mite hook up..wut should i do..im 13

i don't think you should hook up with him, because there could be bad consequences. like you mentioned it could ruin your friendship with the boy and with your other friend that went out with him.

Eh, okay. I have a friend whom I cannnnot give advice! I just can't do it. Her problem is too complicated. So someone give me advice to give her.:P It'd be so appreciated. Her prob.:

"I've liked this guy, Alex, for about a year now. All throughout school I've never talked to him alone. Only during 1st period. (The only class I have with him) My problem is I'm at least 30 pounds over weight, but I'm popular...I'll admit it. I'm too shy to talk to Alex. I feel like he'll diss me, or something. But he seems really nice, and he's funny. But he's also one of those real popular guys. Omg, he's fucking sexy. Lol. Whhhhat do I do?"

Kks. Thanks tons, you all. xoxox Mariah

The girl's name is Jordan, if ya like...wanna write to her.:P

if he's reallly nice and really likes jordan then he wouldn't care what she weighed. maybe he's not that superficial and doesn't care at all.

Do women find a guy with a hairy chest attractive? I'm 24, hairy, but not out of control hairy. I'm not overtly self-conscious, but I get the feeling that body hair is considered unattractive. ???
Don't hold back. I want real answers. Hopefully, from real women. Thanks.

i personally don't like hairy chests but maybe other women do.

The year I decided to try out for volleyball. Before the tryouts, we had 3 days of practice to get us ready. The 3 practice days are over, and they were pretty rigorous. After every practice, my wrists and legs would hurt for hours. It hurts to walk. Before practice, we run a few laps around the track and run up stairs to warm up. Tryouts are on Tuesday. Is there anything I can do to stop the pain from coming after practice? Or is it just because I'm not used to working out this hard and I'll get used to it after a while?

your out of shape. the same thing happened to me when i first started playing field hockey. if you keep working out then eventually the pain will go away.

One nyte i was with this guy, nathan who i knew a long time and we ended up going down on eachother and doing "69". We are just really good friends. Then three days later me and this guy went over to one of my other good friends' house and i gave the other guy head because i was pressured into it and he kept asking me to do it but i kept refusing. After about 3 hours i finally agreed to so he would get off my case. Well Nathan went off with my friend and pleasured her..after i did this i felt really regretful and felt horrible. Do you think that i'm now a slut?

no,it just seems like you don't know how to deal with pressure( i'm talking about when you gave the other guy head) if you don't wanna do something then don't do it. but i really don't think you're slutty, unless you do that type of stuff all the time.

ok......i'm 16 and theres this guy who's 20 that i like alot. he has been wanting to go out with me but my dad wont let me bcuz he says hes to old for me. well my friends keep tellin me i should just dont let my dad find out. what should i do? is there a way to get my dad to let? please help

introduce him to you dad and let your dad get to know him. if your dad feels more comfortable with him then hopefully he'll let you date him

Well...It started out as:
This guy IMed my friend and she added him to a chat we were having.Well after my friend left we started talking and he gave me his other screen names. We talked/talk everyday. Well, we got really close...and now I think I may be starting to develop feelings for him.

Is it wrong that I might like him as more than a friend if I've never met him face to face? I don't know if I should...because...well,I'm almost positive he is NOT a paedophile...but one can never be to sure. I don't want to get hurt like that, but I just want to know if its wrong to have a little crush on him.

i don't think its wrong to have a little crush on him, but don't get too attached because, like you said, he COULD be a pedophile or some other crazy person. good luck.

It's allergy season and my nose won't stop running, and I can't stop sneezing! I am thinking of getting a nose spray, but have never used one because I am always scared it might hurt. Can anyone recommend something?

nose sprays don't hurt. they just feel a little weird , but they're pain free. the allergy medicine Allegra-D works well for my allergies too.

I was obbsessed with this guy for like 6 months. I just got over liking him but my one of my best friends told me she went to a party and asked him to slow dance and they danced together 3 times. When she told me this i was speechless even though i stopped liking him. I am kinda mad that she danced with him-or i think i'm mad. I'm not sure whether or not i'm mad or just jealous...i still might have feelings for him. Do you think i'm mad at her or just jealous?

Maybe your jealous for not having the courage to talk to him when you did like him.

i really want to help you, but quite honestly i SUCK at makeup. but try to keep the makeup looking natural , don't try to overdue because that can be a turnoff.ugh that's all i can think off ( told you i sucked) good luck.

i'm going into highschool as a freshman and for a couple of years now i haven't been doing that good in school. i used to be an honor student and then i got hit with depression really bad and my grades fell to C's D's and F's and i always had A's and B's. I've been struggling since last year to get my grades up because i want so badly to become a doctor and i can't get my grades up. my delema is that if i keep struggling i want to hire a tutor for myself. normally i don't care what people think about me but i'm not sure what people would say if they found out that i had a tutor. i don't want to feel stupid. what should i do to make myself feel better about this?

sylvan learning center would be a good place to get a tutor. no one should think your stupid for having a tutor! in fact it's smart because you're trying to get your grades up.

you should go to the party with friends, to make you more comfortable in the situation. if the guys at the party or doing things or saying things thats making you uncomfortable then you should leave.

My ex boyfriend whom I haven't talked to in a month just called me the other day. We went out for 6 months and he is 19 and im 17. Then for the last 3 or 4 months we talked like a couple times a month until last month when we didnt talk at all and during those 3 months i would always cry because i missed him so much and couldnt talk to him or anything. Then he called me a couple days ago and apologized for everything, told me he loved me and missed me and how much of a jerk he was and asked if i would give him anotehr chance. i really want him back but I dont know what to do i love him so much but I dont want to get hurt again but he is like the only person who truly makes me happy and makes me smile...I need advice quick! :(

if he really makes you feel happy inside then you should give it another try! i don't know the whole story but he sounds like a nice guy and sounds like he's willing to make the relationship work. good luck

ok well there is this girl that i have liked for a long time now but thought she was always " out of my league " well finally i told my best friend that i liked her one day and the next day he went and asked her out well they broke up and now the girl found out about how i liked her and she liked me the whole time too so now we wanna get wit each other but my friend keeps sayin if we do he wont ever talk to me again so im not sure what to do


what would you do???
sorry its so long

i hate to say this but your friend doesn't sound like a really good friend. he went out with the girl you liked knowing that you had feelings for her. if i were in your position i would probaly go out with the girl. your friend will eventually forgive you.

scared and want help!

did you get a pregnancy test? if you didn't then you should. if you're pregnant i would call the cops on him for rape and let them handle him. Even if you aren't pregnant i would still call the cops because what he did was wrong.

is there an age of how old ur supposed to be when u get ur belly button peirced? ill rate ya. lol thanx ~JessiKa~

i don't think there is. for most of my friends it's whenever their parents allow them to get their belly buttons peirced. but most of them started when they were like 14 or 15.

ok so i got those glasses with the plastic frames last year cuz i liked them (at the time). they r blue with sparkles. i got them from da adult section cuz they werent in the kids section. at the time i didnt realize that they were too big for my small face soo i never wear em anymore. im afraid people will make fun of me, so i dont risk it. im only supposed to wear them at school and at home watching tv or sumthin anyway but sometimes i feel like i cant see anything without it being blurry. i dont want to wear the glasses at school cuz they look bad on me but i need to c the board. last year i got bad grades cuz i couldnt see anything. please dont nag me for getting the glasses in the first place, i cant fix that now. its already been done. please, i dont want to wear them cuz i made fun of enough but i need to see. what should i do?

have you thought about contacts? you should try them. but if you don't wanna try contacts then i think you should wear the glasses. i mean they couldn't be that bad looking. and you really shouldn't worry about what other people think.

if you really don't want to live with him maybe you should try living with your dad, or with another relative you'd feel more comfortable living with.
