i pulled a muscle in my stomach yesterday (or so i think) by doing a back-tuck off of a diving board into a pool. after i threw the tuck it hurt really bad in the side of my stomach so i thought i pulled something. today at cheer/tumbling i couldn't throw tucks or even back-handsprings b/c it hurt so bad and then towards the end i couldn't even do round-offs. so i told the instructor and he let me leave early. is there anything i can do to make it feel better like put heat on it? it's on the left side of my stomach under my ribs... thanks so much

Try those Thermacare patches. Put those on and try to rest a little bit. It should be better the next day.

so i had a pimple in my forehead and i started picking it .... until it eventually bleeded so know its all red/perple ugly and it has a scab any ideas of how i can get rid of it fast ?

You really shouldn't pick at it. When you pick at one everything inside it spreads, causing more to breakout. Try washing it. And next time, wash, don't pick.

i just got braces~& i heard that you could have chewing gum but you couldnt have bubble gum

also what are some good foods you can eat with braces?

I know how it is. You can chew any gum as long as you are REALLY careful about it. And you can have any food just not something really crunchy, they'll mess up your braces.

okay im 14 and i still havent gotten my perios is that something i should be worried about .... or just wait?

You can wait a little bit longer. When you turn 16 and you still haven't had your period yet, talk to a doctor about it. It depends on your body type. Skinny girls tend to have their periods later. If you are really worried then go ahead and see a doctor.
