I was just wandering if anyone knows why your balance would be off. I have been this way for such a long time & I am getting sick of it! Being clumsy is one thing, but, I can just be standing in one spot or walking normally & just literally start tipping over! My balance is way off! Any input on this would be helpful! Thanks. (link)
Not only could it be in your ears, but I know someone who had the same problems (she had other symptoms too: migraines, neck and shoulder pain, trouble swallowing and trouble sleeping) but it turned out that she had something called Chiari Malformation. It is where a bone in your skull is malformed and your brain slips into the whole causing all kinds of problems, it is genetic and symptoms don't always end the way my friends did, some are more severe and others less. But this disease affects your brain, memory and balance so just a thought that maybe something more than your ears could be the culprit.

Hope I was of some help.


me & my boyfriend had sex with out a condom. i know stupid. he took it out before he cummed. but i heard pre cum can get you pregnant? (link)
I was in that situation and I hate to break it to you, but that is how I got pregnant. I was only 14 years old when it happened to me...it can happen so for now, I would say chill out on the sex for a little while and then if you don't get your period on time, take a pregnancy test, because if you take it any sooner than that you won't have a accurate answer. Best of luck, remember, even if you are pregnant, it is not the end of the world. Sometimes its for the best.


so like a rabbi watches the animal killed, how can it be killed with no pain? sorry if im sound stupid =/ (link)
sorry its taken me so long to get back. but um they make sure that the death is as quick and painless as possible. then they make sure that the animal is drained of as much blood as possible. pretty much its just very high maintenance.


Slaughter houses, disgust me. I want to change slaughter houses, the killing animals can somebody tell me how i could help?
I'm only 14/f. (9th grade)
The only meat I eat is chicken, and I can't help it but i still feel bad afterwords.
Why can't farm owners cant wait untill the animal dies, then slaughter and sell it? Thats organic right? Instead of slicing its neck open with tears dripping down its eyes. ):
Supposly the islamic method makes the animal feel no pain.. is this true?

Is there something i could go to school for, to change the method of killing animals?
I want my job to help animals, but i do not want to be a vet. JUst some suggestions on anything i've asked or written would mean alot to me. (link)
Something you could do if you are concerned about the way that animals are being killed, have you considered eating Kosher meat only? In order for meat to be Kosher, and ok to eat, it has to be killed a certain way. A rabbi oversees the death, and makes sure that the animal does not suffer, that the animal is dripped completely of its blood and that it is the cleanest killing. So if you are really concerned then this might be the best way to get what you are looking for. Because PETA and all those other programs, are not going to change the world into vegetarians (sorry)


i have to write a paper about cutting and i really need help! i have been looking it up and stuff but i still need information. If anyone has anything about it (why they do it, what they use, when do they) it would be greatly appreciated. please anything will help! if you are/used to be a cutter i would love to hear some personal stories! thank you so much! (link)
I used to cut too. You can message me on my page if you want to know anything.


my urine isn't really yellow, it's like realllyyy light yellow whiteish.. what could be some reasons for this? (link)
hun, that means you are healthy and hydrated. dont worry


ok so when i chat with people they r always funny . but i have no idea how 2 be funny ONLINE
lol so can any1 give me some good jokes or something that i can tell xD (link)
You don't need to tell jokes to be funny when talking online. When you are talking look at the conversation and think if you can kind of make it a joking situation. When I talk to people if someone says something I know I can lead off of I just go for it. For example I have a Jewish friend and the other day we were talking and she made a comment about Jewish people so I began joking to her that Jewish people lived in her house and it became a big joke. Just find something that you can go off of and be funny. Hope I helped


ok, 14/f. ok. long story short- my parents freaking drive my insane. i'm not even kidding. they are CRAZY. for example. this just happend like, 10 min. ago. today i went to target, and i got a new showercurtain for my closet door. i know, it sounds weird- a showercurtain for a closet door, but its acutally pretty cool. anyways, my room is tropical, so i got a vinal showercurtain. when i took it out of the package, it smelled pretty strong. so my mom and i go into my room to hang it up. we hang it up and my room smells really strong. so my parents are getting ready to go to bed, and i'm on the computer and talking to my friend on the phone, and i see my dad coming through the back door with my showercurtain. and i said "what are you doing?!" and he and my mom was like "you have asthma, it is too strong for you.. bla bla bla. " so i start getting really pissed because they shouldn't be able to just go into my room, and take down my stuff. like seriously? wtf?? omg the drive me nuts. so my dad takes the curtain out to the grage and hangs it up somewhere. well, it is a grage, and it is dirty, so it will get dirty out there. and my parents are just like "it needs to air out" so now i'm going to spend $15 for something that is going to get dirty. my parents do stuff like this ALL OF THE TIME. they always team up against me, and never listen to what i have to say. i feel like i'm just here for.. well, i don't know why i'm in this world. my parents drive me so nuts, i never tell them anything. like what goes on in school, when i'm having problems with a friend or somthing. i just don't know what to do anymore. i've delt with this for a while, and i just need some help. so any advice?? please??! thanks so much! (link)
Coming from a parent they do have a right to go in your room and take whatever they want, whether you like it or not. Sorry, but its their house, their rules. They should probably have asked but the way I see it they are watching out for you and that is a parents main job is to kind of watch for you while making you responsible for yourself so when you live by yourself you will know how to take care of things. Just let things like this blow over, don't argue no matter how much you want to.


whats the easiest way for a 13 year old girl to earn money so she can get a green ipod nano for the summer? :D im thinking of maybe getting it before all my class field trips in june, so i can have something to listen to when theres nothin to talk about. um i cant do babysitting (too busy and i have my own lil bro and my parents ofcourse dont pay me to take care of him. besides i hate changing diapers), mowing the lawn (duh), its spring so i cant shovel snow, and my parents dont pay me for chores around the house.

so what could i do? :/ like list all the things you know that would eventually (in like 1-2 months) get me to a goal of 200 dollars. and it cant be too time consuming cause i have school and a life too. (link)
with that kind of attitude you will be better off not getting a job. because wiht an attitude like, well i have a life too you arent going to get far, take what you can. walk dogs, babysit, get over the diapers, clean other peoples houses. ask older people if you can clean their houses.


omg.
so me and my friend went with a couple of our guy friends about 2 weeks ago to hang out.
well we went to a friends and we started drinking a little.
we hung out fo a little bit then we went home.
we dropped everyone off and thats it. nothing else happened.
like 2 days later, my friend shawn IMed me and told me that he got kicked out like 5 minutes after we dropped him off.
well last monday, a week after, shawn started flipping out.
he couldnt remember what happened that night. at all.
he thought that we stopped at a gas station and that a kid put a gun to his head.
none of that happened.
he said he doesnt remember anything then that. he also said that he was driving home from a pap smear and he heard the kid that he thought did that say kid get out of the car im going to kill you.
but no one was around.
well hes like in a crazy hospital now cause he thinks that all really happened.
he said he didnt take anything but idk if i believe him.
well his mom is getting detectives to check all of this out and they are going to question us all.
one of our friends we were hanging out with is 22, so can he get in trouble for hangin out with me and my friend since were 16?
and also can they give us drug tests? cause i smoked some weed over the weekend and im freaking out about it.
nothing happened that night and we didnt do any drugs that night so idk what is wrong with shawn.
what do you think i should do? are they aloud to drug test me??

thanks in advance. (link)
I am pretty sure they cannot drug test you just because your friend is going through some things. And if they ask you if you smoked weed, you will NOT get in trouble for admitting because the police cannot do anything about the fact that you already smoked the weed, if you have weed you can get in trouble but not for smoking it. The 22 year old if brought in for questioning can get in big time trouble for distributing alcohol to minors, especially since one of the minors he gave alcohol to is now in a mental hospital hollucinating. Just try your best to tell the truth and be there for your friend.


Well see my boyfriend and me kinda had sex it weird. like i'm not goin to go into details or anything but like he got in me and kinda poped my cherry but we stoped but he cumed before. could i be pregnet? becuase i've been worrying about this for like 2 weeks now and i'm only 14 and he's 16. and my mom told us before if we have sex she'll have him go to jail for like sum stupid law. and i'm scared.

help me please. (link)
Well, first off I am not going to criticize you for having sex at such a young age, or for doing it with someone who is older. Most young people do have sex, it doesn't make you a slut, you probably just wanted to get closer to your boyfriend. Well, let me just say this your being pregnant all depends on if he wore a condom. If he didn't wear a condom and he came before he was out of you, then the likely hood that you are pregnant is high, if he was wearing a condom then the likely hood is pretty low. As far as I know there is no law that says my daughter had sex I want her boyfriend arrested. Now, however, if you are pregnant and you would have to tell her, sorry, social workers would ask you both if you want to take legal action against said boyfriend. (Legal action meaning like did he rape you and you want him to go to jail.) The only reason I know these things that I am telling you is because I went through this situation, I had sex and the guy didn't use a condom and I didn't know. 3 months later I found out I was pregnant, doesn't mean I'm a slut, I have a beautiful 2 year old son now. So don't let whatever happens influence your dreams, don't let these peoples opinions of you affect you, your not a slut sweetie. Just be more careful.

Hope I helped.



My hair gets greasy and oily very very easily. If I wash my hair one night, it will be fine for a day, but then the next my hair feel feels gross and disgusting. I barely use ANY products in it too! I am pretty sure it is cause by hormones and other assorted teenage issues, but how can I stop this? I know it is unhealthy to wash your hair everyday, but that seems like the only solution. I used to use a hair buildup shampoo, but I ran out and forgot what the brand was. Any suggestions? (link)
Everyone's hair gets greasy if you don't wash it AT LEAST every day and a half. Don't go longer than that without washing your hair, do it every other day. Your hair gets greasy like that because during the day you touch it and it comes in contact with things as well as the fact that your head sweats. So don't think your the only one and its not hormones, its normal. Just start washing your hair every day or every other day, its just fine to wash your hair every day.

Ok so i plan on getting my tounge peirced soon and i just wanted to know if those of you if any that have your tounge peirced or have gotten it peirced if it hurts? and if so how bad? and how long should it be swollen for?and also where i can buy a vibrating tounge ring also if possible can someone explain to me like how the prcess of getting peirced works please and thank you in advance (link)
I know quiet a few people who have their tongues pierced and I have been told that it is not the actual piercing that hurts, but the swelling afterwords is uncomfortable. Also DO NOT BUY A VIBRATING TONGUE RING! It will RIP your hole. A piercer will explain the whole process throughly if you go somewhere good, ask as many questions as you need to make yourself feel comfortable. Hope I helped


13/f
alright so i was watching spongebob the other night and squidward said his line and it was, "I QUIT WORKING AT THE KRUSTY KRAB!" so then i thought to myself "well what is squidward going to do for income?" im thinking like it's some reality!! and that's when i caught myself that i do that all the time about thing,...
what's wrong with me??? (link)
Nothing sweetie, your brain is doing its own thought process, that's good. It means you actually think about things.


hi. i had sex for the 1st time on the night of january 20th. it is january 22nd and i am still randomly bleeding. its not blood like period blood, its thinner and lighter in color.like a wound. i know the 1st time you have sex you bleed and it hurt a lot so i was expecting it. has it been too long though, for me to have been bleeding? my boyriend used a condom and he did not cum. he said that there was absolutely no sperm. We waited until the condom was on to do anything. however, i have read about conceptional bleeding and im worried. im so stressed and nervous that i may be pregnant. what should i be thinking right now? (link)
Ok first off EPT doesn't stand for Early Pregnancy Test, it stands for Error Proof Test. You can get early pregnancy tests though, so if you are really worried you can take one of them. You will probably bleed on and off for the rest of the day, if you miss your period next time around I suggest you take another test about a week after your missed period. If it comes out positive tell your boyfriend, tell your mom/dad, go to the doctor and start thinking about your options. If it comes out negative still wait about another week or 2 then take another 1 just to be sure. Hope I helped...

I don't know why and it's kinda gross but lately like everyone in my class started wearing thongs instead of underwears and even the teacher! I don't get what's so good about having a peice of string hanging up your ass. Is it like because when you're wearing something that's not jeans that the lines on your thongs wont show up as much as an underwear would? Or is it cheaper or something? (link)
My MoM always asks me the same thing, really in reality thongs are more comfortable to many people. They are DEFINATLY not cheaper! And it is true that when someone wears a thong their underwear lines are not nearly as visible. I started wearing thongs when I was in 8th grade, I was on the volleyball team and the required uniform is spandex shorts, so underwear becomes visible and its not nice to have everyone know what style underwear your wearing. LoL Hope I helped!

how badly does it hurt to get your tongue pierced? (link)
First off don't listen to the first person who answered. Everyone I know that got their tongue pierced (Like 6 people) said that the worst part of it was the swelling, and it didn't hurt, it was just uncomfortable. So, unless the first person who answered knows someone personally or has had their tongue pierced themselves don't listen to them because they are wrong. I know someone who is a VERY big baby and she got her tongue pierced and she said it didn't hurt a bit! And your tongue won't get infected unless you don't take proper care of it. It's just like any other piercing, don't let anyone tell you any differently. You have to keep it clean, don't play with it and listen to the instructions your piercer gives you. Hope I helped!

ok this might be hard tounderstand but here it goes i want to get a cartilage piercing with two holes(one on the top and one close underneath it) where can i find barbells for that kind of piercing or can the ones for the regular barbell piercings work. (link)
That would be an industrial piercing, and to be completely honest ( I know from experience) if you are interested in it...GET IT PROFESSIONALLY DONE!!! I cannot stress this point enough, this is a very sensitive piercing, you need to have the knowledge of a professional because your ear might not be the right shape and could reject this, your skin could cut through your ear, get infected, or it might not be straight thus forth causing the barbell not to fit properly. So my advice is get it done professionally if you are even thinking about it.


i'm trying to find some healthy snacks to eat after school. i'm thinking about making my self a banana smoothie, but i'm not sure how. all of the recipes that i've read include ice cream or yougurt. and 1) ice cream would be too unhealthy and 2)i hate yogurt and i don't have any.

is it possible to make a banana smoothie with 1 whole banana and milk in a blender? what else would i need to add to this? and is this considered healthy?

if not...what are some other easy healthy snacks that i can eat. not peanut butter & apples or celery because i don't like those things.

thanks! (link)
Ok well I work for an Ice Cream place and we make smoothies all the time and what we do is add milk, if you have strawberries add a few NOT A LOT of those and a whole banana. Once you have done this put these things together and put them in a blender and blend it enough that its all mushed together. After this if you have an ice cream maker now would be the perfect time to get it out and put ur mix in there and let that go for a while, if you don't have an ice cream maker what you can try is putting some ice in the blender, SEPERATE FROM THE SMOOTHIE and blend the ice, then add the smoothie mixture you made. Hopefull this works for you!!!
