Here is my situation... I am 20 and I dislocated my knee cap on Aug 1... It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life! Way worse than labor even! I got it put back in place but then stopped using it out of fear and developed blood clots. I was in the hospital but I am fine now. However, it really hurts to walk and I cant straighten my leg too well and I cant lock my knee at all. This is my first injury, Before this the worst thing that happened to me was small cuts and scrapes so I'm not used to this and I have no knowledge of anything.

Here is my problem... I have become deathly afraid of my injury. It happened in the ocean (I LOVE the ocean, I was going to study marine biology and marine mammal care) but now I am afraid of it... I wont go back into it even if there are no waves. I also love Cheerleading and dance... its my passion but I also wont do it anymore... I was a very adventurous girl, there wasn't much that scared me and I was willing to try just about anything. I had a big passion and a lot of goals for things like sky diving, zip lining, cliff diving, scuba diving, etc. but now I am just scared. Now I know there are so many other things I could dislocate and I cant handle that pain again! No way!!

My question... My doctor told me, now that its already been dislocated, it can happen again more easily... it wont hurt as bad though and I'll just have to pop it back into place (the thought makes me cringe)... So I guess my question is what can I do to prevent this from happening? Is there a way I can still live my life and take risks without worrying about dislocating my knee? Are there certain foods that help increase strength in my knee, are there exercises, surgeries... I'll do anything. I know its pretty pathetic but I have no tolerance for pain and I am seriously scared. I was just starting to get my life in order and go out into the world when this happened. I seriously feel traumatized... Any type of advice will do...

Thank you!! (link)
Hey so hear is the deal I dislocated both my knees before. And it hurt, like it hurt bad. And I am a total baby when it comes to pain. But really, my advice to you is to not be scared there is going to come a time where you need to take risks no matter what happens and when something does happen you have to take the good with the bad. I dont mean that for everything you do but there is no reason to be scared sure it hurt really really badly, I can realate to your pain, and being afraid and scared not to do anything to feel that pain or worse again, but I know for a fact if your leg heals up, it wont be easy to hurt again, and you just have to realize that people do hurt themselfs and sometimes it does hurt, but you dont have to give up something you love like cheerleading or being a marine biologist. Yes there is a lot of other limbs in your body you can dislocate but it does happen, and just think how misserable you would be when you wernt getting out and seeing the world, and really, your 20 and you like cheerleading and the ocean, and many more things, you have only dislocated it once!

I really hope you take my advice and move forward with your life, and not be scared to take risks again when your leg is healed. It will be a little scarry at first but you will come around belive me, I have dealt with this too.

Good luck with everything, Katie xx


i have been trying for ages now to get lose curls in my hair but nothing has worked can someone please tell me how thankyou (link)
Hey I found this new hair product in Super Store but you can get it pretty much anywhere. I swear this is the easiest way and the most effective way its a curl defining product called; Pantene Style Pro-V- Curl Defining Extra Strong Hold.
This works wonders in my hair, all you have to do is take a shower, and spray it all over your hair but not too much or else when it drys it looks funny, but after you put it in you scrunch it with your hands, and you repeat the prosses till you have a nice curl going in your hair. it may take you a few minutes to get your hair to the perfect curl, but when it dries it works amazingly, I still have a bit of curl in my hair the next day. I really recomend this product.
So good luck and tell me if it work out well for you!

My hair is naturally straight. Litteraly. I get up in the morning and don't have to do anything with it because it is so straight. But sometimes I really want to do wavy curls but if I try it never seems to stay in my hair. I've tried different products but nothing seems to work. I really want my hair to look like this:

Does anyone know of any good products that could make my hair look like her's and hold well? Thanks! (link)
I have the same problem as you, dont worrie there is many different things you can do to make your hair curly.
1. You could always take time to curl your hair wth a curling iron, there are different sizes for different kinds or curls, you just have to look on the package.

2. The easiest way and the most effective way is this hair spray curl defining hair product its called. Pantene Style Pro-V- Curl Defining Extra Strong Hold.

3. And lastly you can try curlers, there are different kinds of curlers, one is where you put them in with damp hair and you leave them to dry, I dont like them because I left them in while I went to bed and I find they fall out easily, and the second kind I am familiar with is the hot curlers, they are like a curling iron but in a curler, you dont have to put them in with damp hair.
I find using, curlers, and curling irons can be a real pain and take up lots of time! So try the hair product and tell me how it goes!

Good Luck, Katie xx

Ok so i have liked this guy since last fall or winter (*bob*) and still really really do. I havent ever told him but i know he knows or at least knew it. He heard it from his other friend who is also my friend. The thing is jus recently we hung out (always do) and we hung out wi another one of his friends *billy*. well i have hung out wi bob n billy both (since theyre friends)n now billy really likes me. well my feelins are so strong for bob i havent had any crushes or even thought bout anyone the same way till now bc billy is so sweet and thats what gets me.we text bc i dont have good reception at my house n he makes me feel really really good n were gettin a lil cozy. but its all jus text. how do i know if i really like him or the phone?! its almost like i start to think billy is bob but then have to make myself realize he isnt. i was lookin at some pics of billy n i jus dont know if i think hes that attractive bc i keep comparing him to bob. its not fair to him i know but i cant help it. if i dont think hes attractive then its not gonna work. i can already tell that. i jus dont know if im in love wi my phone or the actual guy behind it. help!!!! ps. i still really really like bob. but i love what billy says to me. ugh i dont know what to do.

I have had the same problem as you many times. It's really simple it's not confusing either.

So here is somethings for you to consider:

Hangout with "Bob" alone for a few days and see if you still have strong feelings for him.
Next go hang out with "Billy" for a few days, if you find one more attractive then the other then your problem is solved.

You can still text him and everything but you will know what feeling you have for each person, its not bad if you like them both but sometimes it gets really frustrating in the end when you have to figure out your true feelings for each of them.

Or, you could do what some people do and just keep on talking to "Billy" and "Bob" and see how everything plays out over time. If you still have strong feelings for both of them, try and find which one you think is better for you.

But you have to remember anything said on the phone is different then when your hanging out with him at the park or at your house. So he may be saying sweet, and cute things on the phone but that is sometimes what they want you to think they are instead of that they really are off of the phone.

Hope this helps!
Good luck

I have stretch marks on my thighs from a growth spurt, and I want to know if anyone has like secret tricks to get rid of them, I don't have coco butter like everyone says works, and I really can't afford to go out and buy products, does anyone have a good way to get rid of them within a few weeks or months? (link)
Hey, I have had really, really bad stretch marks on my thigs, and all around my hips from my growth spurt. I couldn't afford to buy any expensive products either. So I was asking around and someone told me to put normal lotion on my stretch marks it every night. I have been putting it on my stretch marks for about a month and a half and they have been clearing up, they have faded quiet a bit. And Im sure it would do the same for you good luck!
