I am considering getting my nipple pierced, but I am only 16.. Do nipple piercings screw up your nipple or breast? (considering both of mine are still developing) And how bad is the scarring? Thank you! (link)
| |
No, they dont screw up your nipple if you take proper care of it. If it did screw anything up seriously, they wouldnt let that part be pierced. Ive had my belly button pierced for over 2 years, and Ive never had any problems with it.

should you swim in the ocean while on your period,? (link)
| |
Yes you can, but you should use a tampon whenever you go in the ocean, oh and just dont swim in shark infested waters haha because they can pick up the scent of your blood.

My x bf smoked pot, and I didn't know about it until about 2 months into the relationship (which is why I broke up with him). Anyway me being the kind of person who can't stand up for themselves and him being the definition of asshole, smoked right in front of me with his friend. When they came back from the room they were in I could still smell it and I think I may have been high for like a second or two? Or at least getting there... everything got so weird and all that happened was him walking by me, so I stepped outside because I didn't want to get involved. I just want to make sure this couldn't have hurt me in any way? I wouldn't ever do it but I got scared that it seemed to work so fast just from him walking by me. (link)

No, there is no way this could have hurt you or gotten high. The active chemical in marujuana is thc, and thc will lose its effect in the air of a room, or on clothes after 8 seconds. Basically after 8 seconds of thc being exposed to oxygen, it dies. If they werent smoking in the room, there is really no way it couldve effected you.

I have Ortho Tri Cyclen lo birth control. It's been going good for me, and everything, but I have two questions about it:
1) Does it SERIOUSLY help treat acne? In my experience it just worsens it. But I have been hearing from websites it should help it. Is this like a side effect from me using it for just a month, or does it just vary by person?
2) Also, there are like two yellow dots on the refill on day 1 and day 14 I think. What are those? And what is its purpose for being there?
thanks for reading! (link)

The amount of acne really depends on the person. For some people it makes it better, and for others it worses it. My doctor told me it would make my ance better and did, but Some known side effects of birth control is an increase in ance.

What are the symptoms of having a yeast infection? I think I have one. Nomatter how much I wash it gets a smell, it itches, sometimes itchy bumps come up, after scratching they bleed, and white dandruff looking stuff is in the hair. The discharge is usually white and pretty normal smelling, but sumtimes its a bit yellow and a little smelly. If I have a yeast infection how do I treat it myself? im only 13. (link)
| |
If it is really itchy, it is probably a yeast infection. Although usually with a yeast infection you get white, thick. gross but "cottage cheese" like discharge. The white "dandruff" stuff is normal. Also, it depends on where it is itchy, if it is near your opening, then it most likely is, but if it is where you pubic hair is, then it is something different. A good treatment for a yeast infection is monostat, you can find it at any drugstore or grocery store usually.

can you get aids from having sex on your period? (link)
| |
Well this depends. if the person you are having sex with has aids, then yes. if the person you are having sex with does not have aids, then no. There is always a risk of aids or other stds with unprotected sex, period or not.

i'm trying to loose weight by not eating. im not going anarexic but im just like eat a LOT less.. how long is it going to take for me to be VISIBLY skinnier? (link)
| |
Well it all depends on your metabolism and all how fast you will loose weight, but by not eating, your metabolism will slow and you will loose some weight because your not eating, but once you start to eat basically anything, you will pack on the pounds again because your metabolism is so slow. I suggest small, frequent, healthy meals throughout the day. This will boost your metabolism and keep you from feeling like your starving yourself.

i have a pad on now but it is just for discharge when do i change pads? (link)
| |
probabily every 4 hours just for hygene. Change it earlier if you have alot of discharge.
|
|
well basically im totally confused on everything about drugs, like weed and stuff. is there more then one drug, when you smoke weed do you atomatically get high? how do you smoke weed? is it exspensive? why do you get the "munchies"? and any other detail would be great thanks! (link)
| |
There are many drugs out there. When you smoke weed you can feel the effect (being high) within a couple seconds. If you ingest weed, such as weed cookies, this can take up to 30 mintues. You can smoke weed through a pipe, bong, joint, blunt, bubbler, or vaporizor. The list is endless. You light the weed, suck and inhale. You get the munches because it boosts your metabolism so you are hungry. The thing in weed that makes you high is Thc. All weed has different levels of thc, but never enough to kill you. It is physically impossible to die from weed.

i get head aches alot. right near my sinuses. but my mom wants to get an xray of my brain for some reason. would they we able to tell i smoke weed? because i lose brain cells? (link)
| |
They cant be able to tell by brain cell loss. The only way they can is by urine test, that they need your moms constent to do.

Doesn't everyone tell you it's incredible stupid, dumb, and unhealthy to do drugs like weed and cocaine, etc? Then why on an ADVICE site does it have questions asking about drugs. No, not like educational things about them, like "Oh when i smoked weed I threw up, is this normal?". I was expecting every answer to be like "You shouldn't have smoked weed in this first place, these are drugs and they are unhealthy." But no the answers were more like encouraging the people to try it again and see what happens? What the heck? Is it ok to do drugs now? (link)
| |
Sure its bad to "do drugs" I guess lol. but does that mean that people cant be informed. Your basically saying that sex is wrong so we shouldnt teach people to use condoms. Like sex, people are going to do drugs no matter how much you dont like it. There will always be someone shooting up heroin, taking there moms pills, and smoking a bowl. No one is saying its "cool". But I would rather have someone be informed about drugs than someone be a complete idiot about them and die from doing something that couldve been prevented. Plus, from your perspective,Im guessing you have never done drugs, so its easy for you to say not to do them its dumb. But let people give advice to others that have been in bad situations and know what to do.

Ok, when I wear lightweight shirts like tee-shirts and stuff, I sweat! I use good anti-persperant, but it doesn't work. What is wrong with me! (link)
| |
I suggest the deordorant "dry idea" it works very well as a anti persperant.

well i was high the other day and noticed that my pupils got hella small..are they suppose to get small because i thought they were suppose to get big? (link)
| |
I dont see why people have to post there opionions on smoking when you ask a question about it, but anyways, Your pupils do get smaller when you smoke and sometimes bloodshot. Your eyes get bigger when you do extasy or shrooms.

For the past month or so I've been trying to eat healthier and trying to only have like one junk food a day. for example only eating 1 candy bar that day. or only eating 3 oroes a day. (just a little something sweet for the day but not too much) but friday i had so much junk food. but then saturday i went to the Y so i felt better but i told myself that i did a horrible thing and not to do it again. (hah) well today i just ate a little bit of a cake that my grandmother made for my brother and I. and now i just feel horrible. i can't stan it after i eat something bad but yet tasty super good i feel horrible i almost wanna kick myself int he head for doig it. but when i'm attcally eating it i'm lik oo its soo good i'm soo glad i at it. and then after i'm like stupid why the hell did you eat that?!
and i have no clue what to do to stop myself i hate that when i eat a little junk food i feel soo guilty when i'm eatier (i think) healthier than i've ever eaten. i just don't know what to do..
thanks for reading =] (link)
| |
It might be best for you to cut out junk food all together if once you start eating it you cant really stop. Another good solution is to just not have it around in the house. You cant junk out if theres not junk food there.

okay so Friday i got my first period and i didnt go to school. its really gross because its like a REALLY heavy flow and it is just so gross. i have pads like carefree original.. but i dont like them. i mean they dont work well and i keep getting stains and its so gross. i dont like the brand im using and find it so gross about like the flow and everything. and im so worried like i have school on monday and this is my first period. like what the heck am i suppose to do? like .. wear am i suppose to put the pad and stuff. i dont even want to use a pad but like i guess im kind of embarresed to ask my mom to go get me tampons. and even if i DID have tampons to try like firstly, i would have no idea what to do like to get them in and like when to change them ect. AND like what brand would be good because i have like sports and crap. this is so overwelming for me because its my first time. and ALSO i hate the feeling i have like when like theres a flow because i just like feel so dirty (and since i have been grounded for like a week i've been home alot) and i just like take a bath and stuff and i feel clean. like this whole thing is just ew.
any advice??
ew. =] (link)

I do suggest you wear a tampon. Pads are uncomfortable and in the way. Dont be embarassed to ask. Your mom has been through the same thing and should understand. I suggest getting tampax pearl. They have smooth tips and are very easy to insert. The main thing about getting a tampon in is to relax. If your muscles are tense down there, it will hurt ALOT to try to insert. Also, every box of tampons comes with a peice of paper showing you how to insert it exactly. Relaxation is the key. You can keep a tampon in for up to 6 hours but with tampax pearl, it has an absorbent string so when that string turns red, you should take it out and replace it. Hope I could help :)

i know your supposed to keep it clean which i do but it still smells is that normal? also when youshave should you shave everything off ? (link)
| |
Its normal to have odor down there even if you do have good hygene. When you shave, it is more of your own personal preference to shave everything off. Some girls do, some girls have a "landing strip" and some girls dont shave at all. If you want to shave it all off then do it, there isnt anything wrong with it.

what happenes if you snort pixie sticks??? (link)
| |
It will probabily make your nose hurt. Thats all. I wouldnt suggest it. It wont mess you up or anything.

i recently got my period for the first time yesturday. im having really bad flows. like they are extremley heavy. i asked what i should do about it on here, and everyone said it should die down in a while but its not. if anything its heavier. im pretty much disgusted and dont want to use a pad anymore so im thinking about trying to get my fucking anyoying dad who i serouisly HATE at the moment out of the house, and ask my mom to go get me tampons because pads are WAY to much of a mess.
any good brands of tampons i should use?
and any advice on the whole period thing?
i serouisly hate this like its uncontrolable. EW. (link)
| |
A good brand of tampon is tampax pearl. It has a rounded tip which makes things easier. Its kind of hard to give advice about someones period when it is there first period. This could be because its your first period and your hormones are changing. I know it sucks but wait it out. If this happens again next month, you might want to consider birth control because it will make your periods lighter.

what are some quick, easy ways to tighten a flabby stomach? (link)

You can get results fast by doing cruches with your feet at a 45 degree angle and then up at a 90 degree angle.

so sorry, didn't know what category to put this in.
my friend did drugs and now at school theyre finding out that like, alot of people are.
so now theyre testing like, the whole 8th grade.
and hes getting tested on monday.
and he wanted to know, how long it takes for it to go through your system.
hes 14, and he did purple haze, if that helps any.
thanks in advance. (link)
| |
Well it depends on how much he smokes. It can take anywhere from a week to 30 days to pass. Is a public school aloud to drug test a whole grade based on someone "doing drugs"? I doubt this is legal or allowed in any public school system. Oh yeah and the person that says "just another reason to not do drugs" obviously doesnt know much about them because you cannot detect thc in urine up to 6 months after. There is no way. Its physically impossible. This is only possible with a hair test that most likely will not be used considering it costs around 700 dollars per test.
