Q: My best friend Nicole has been my friend since 5th grade and were in 9th grade now. We're so close and we talk about everything together. One of our good friends who was 17 yrs old just passed away on december 5th from cancerous tumers on his brain. It was so sudden. We all got so scared after that becasue in our town, theres been alot of deaths from cancer. We didn't think it would actually effect someone so young, an ready to go off to college. The worst part about it is that his mother had already lost 2 other sons before him. So she basically just lost her 3rd son.
Sadly to say, just last week, about 2 days before Xmas, my best friend Nicole was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors said that the lumps on her neck were the beginning of Mono, but they were wrong. Her tests came back, and she now has cancer. Shes gonna be at Westchester hospital for about 4-5 weeks going through kemo and stuff. Me, and a bunch of our other friends are worried sick about her becasue its so sudden, and we dont want to lose her like we lost our other friend. I'm so sad, and I desperately need someone to make me think of positive things about her right now, becasue really all i can think of is our other friend who just died and if shes gonna end up like that. This is a very hard time for me, can anyone give me any advice on this? I just dont know how to think about something good. Thank You!

there are lots of cures for cancer coming (my mom helps to make medicines). you shouldn't worry. and dont do anything to hurt yourself. most of the time cancer can be detected in bumps early, which can be treated. also, you can write down you feelings in a dairy to get them off your chest.i hope i helped. p.s. if you have any other conserns leave a message in my inbox on this site. i'd be glad to help orjust talk.:)

Q: i've had this cough for about a month long. at the beginning it was from a severe cold or something. but i've been around my sister a lot who smokes and i have asthma. could it be from second hand smoke getting into me? any ideas? i rate *HiGH*
it is possible. my friends have athsma and are not ever allowed to be around ciggarette smoke. i hope i helped. ps. i would say you should tell a doctor or a parent about it. my friends say that after awhile they can't breathe when they're around smoke. don't let that happen to you.

Q: MI go to Texas like, every summer. And two years ago my older cousin met a boy (let's call him ****). He hung out with us, and I didn't think much about him. This year they became A LOT closer. They love each other. And now that I think about it, **** is really hot and funny and nice. I LIKE him. And my cousin has him, what do I do??
be considerate of your cousins space. give her a turn, but if she leaves him..... you can see if you *click*. also, make sure you dont just want him because you are jealous of your cousin. good luck :). i hope i helped :).

Q: Help Im in a longwood school district where 57% ofthe students are white 38% are black and the rest are others. I do not mind this at all but my mother is very judgemental, preduduce and rasict. I happen to be white and so is she and at this point i doubt she trusts me at all and i dont kno why she always views my instant messages and always seems to think im doing something wrong..often gets iffy when shes around black people and is straight up disrespectful to me and others around her about this particular topic....Ive tried to tell her how horrible that is but she DOES NOT listen....WHAT DO I DO?!??!?
PS she is 40 and i am 13 my father is 46 my sister is 16 and i think its because black people tried to kick her ass in her school but i can sorta understand why now alothough my dad has no problem nor my sister
her oppinion is her oppinion. you can't change that, but try to stick up to what you believe. you are right about predujuice so dont let your mother dicourage you.

Q: I just got spacers about 4 hours ago. I felt just a pinch when I got them on but now they hurt so much I cannot bite down. On Jan. 12 I will be getting braces. I am wondering are they going to hurt more then the spacers, and how can I relieve the pain. Thanks in advance.
i've had orthadontic surgery, so take it from me, there is nothing worse than the molds. spacers will hurt but i have a sister who had 8 at once, and she is fine. she currently has braces and they dont hurt her. the orthadontists give you wax which u put on spots that hurt. and if it makes u feel better, you get to pick the colors of your braces and chage the colors every appointment. i hope i helped - when 'lifegivesyoulemons' throw them at people

Q: ok, at my dads house my brother and sister constantly make fun of me. last night they kept calling me a pig, and a special ed. and they will pysically abuse me sometimes. and they call me "g" casue i listen to rap music. and they like sing a song about me eating all the time. they are really mean. and i don't do anthing to them, and i tell my dad and he sazys either, i start it or get over it, or say something back, but when i say something back he says i start it!! what do i do?? please help!
tell your dad he is bothering you. if he doesn't listen write your feelings in a dairy, and/or talk to your mom about it. also, try to ignore it. when i was about ten i would get angry at my big brother because he teased me. the things i have listed helped me. i hope i helped :)

Q: is it normal for a 13/m to all of the sudden get a searing anger that he squeezes his fists and tightens his jaw so as not to do something drastic?

because thats been happening a couple times a day to me lately. is it normal? it happens for about 2 seconds then goes away. thank you.
yes, its probably hormones. at 13 u go through changes (such as growth) which can make you feel angry or ect. it is comepletely normal

Q: I have chlostrophobia and my parents don't really know. Is this something i should ask my doctor about or is it just something normal?
Plz help. I keep having moments where i can't breath.
ask your doctor and tell your parents. some people i know have asma (however you spell it), and when they have trouble breathing it hurts them, dont let that happen to u ^.^
