about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

advice

ok so there's this girl in school and well she's a big dork and she doesn't shower daily. She's pretty much the biggest skank ever.

well lately she has been getting this scab on her top lip and on her bottum lip i mean they are huge! The bottum covers 75 % of her chin and the top covers like 25% well her lips are gross to. but these scabs are like red around the edges and yellow puss looking stuff on top. i can't figure out wat it is. and i want to help her get rid of it cuz she's helpless to it. wat should i say to her about it? and wat do you think it is? i don't think she is sexual active so im guessing its not herpes or anything like that. shes only in the 7th grade so i really don' think thats a factor in this. its really gross and she is being made fun of for it i feel sorry for her please answer allllllll the questions!

It's hard to believe you that you can call someone bad names, and then want to be kind to her at the same time. I have my suspicions as to what the sores around her mouth are, and I agree it's most likely not sexually transmitted. However, to preserve this girls dignity I am not going to tell you what I think it is, and I am not going to suggest that you approach her about it. The best thing for you to do is go to the school nurse and ask if she can speak to the girl about it. If you want to be really nice, stand up for her when the others are making fun of her.

(Rating: 4) It's hard to believe you that you can call someone bad names, and then want to be kind to her at the same time. (did i ask you what you thought? no.) thank you i'll try it. but you didn't get a 4 for puttin your opinion in it was because you wouldn't tell me what you thought it was.
