Q: Like what would happen if i overdosed on pills . like on purpose.. wha would actually happen to me ? Like would i die right away , would i pass out , be weak get sick .. ? what ? k thanks =]
I dont suggest trying it but it depends on what type of pills you take. For example, you cant OD on ibuprofin, theyre not strong enough. Some pills would make you trip or hallucinate, and others may cause you to throw up. Basically if you OD on pills your body will try immediately to get it all our of your system. You may pass out, stop breathing, get really dizzy, & sick. If and when this happens you need to get those pills out of your system as soon as possible. If you cannot do it yourself thats when you have to go to the hospital to get your stomach pumped, which isnt fun. & After that happens you basically have a 50/50 chance. Depending on how long since the ingestion of the medication, the MG of the medication, and what kind they were. I dont suggest doing it, its a pain in the ass, deadly, and it messes up your stomach.

Q: i think i might have ocd. every day like twice an hour i have to say this random sentence. its not even a sentence its just a bunch of random words that make no sense but i still have to say them. okay i have to say this sentence in my head like about 2 or 3 times a hour. "true dat word yea really get a room go back to band camp go for it i get that a lot" dont ask me why but if i dont say that sentence i get soo nervous its like an addiction and i cant think straight if i dont say it. i tried to not say it for like 4 hours but i had this huge urge and i was like shaking. none of those words relate to me or have anything to do with me but for some reason i HAVE to say them or i feel like im about to die. and the kitchen cupboards if they are open i have to shut them or i get in a really bad mood and i cant leave them open.. same with tags. you know the tags on peoples shirts? if they stick out it bothers me soo much and even if i dont know the person i will tell them to stick in their tag or i will do it for them haha. soo do you think i have ocd or what??helppp
Yes, that definitly sounds like OCD. Some common symptoms of OCD include reciting words that seem unrelatable. The shutting of the cabinets thing could be just bothersome, but the sentance thing definitly stands out to me as OCD. You might want to take an online OCD test, or look up some symptoms, then print out your results and go to a psychaitrist or psychologist to get them evaluated.

Q: I think my granny might have ocd becouse whenever she sees a bed unmade she has to go make it it just bothers her,she freaks out if there's a piece of lint on my nightgown is that ocd?
Its an obsessive thing, yes. It only becomes compulsive if she does that same act repeatidly no matter the circumstances. Like for instance someone who whenever they see the color red they scream, that would be obsessive compulsive. Obsessive being- they make a mental note to do it. Compulsive being, its repetitive. She may have slight OCD, which is what I have. But it does sound like a symptom of it.

Q: if you have a drivers permit and turn 21 years old, how does the "you must drive with someone else over 21" rule work?
Well I dont know about any other state but if you live in Ohio and I thought most other states, once you turn 18 all you have to do is take the written test, and then in the same day you can take the driving portion of your test and walk out with your lisense that same day, providing you pass the written and driving portion. Only people under the age of 18 have to take drivers-ed and get their hours in with someone over the age of 21

Q: im 13 years old, and i have braces. the teeth around my braces arent completely white, but not yellow either. just sorta regular. i realllly want my teeth to be whiter, tho, so is it ok to brush your teeth wit baking soda, evn tho i have braces? will it damage the braces?
Yupp, its completely okay. Also, you can find some teeth whitening things from local stores like Walmart & stuff. They have things for all sorts of teeth. there would probably be something for you. If not, then wait till your braces come off and get them whitened every 6 months

Q: my cell phone was dead yesterday so it was off and people keep prank phone calling me and they blocked their number so i cant find it out and i really want to know who it was so is there any way i could find out whos called me?? i think theres a number you dial like *67 but thats not it. i dont really want to call the phone company which is verizon
If they blocked their number there is no way that you can find out. If you *69 it, it wont come up. If it's really becoming a problem though you can call verizon and they have a record of everyone whos called your number in their system. If its reoccuring, call verizon and ask for a detailed list of calls between such and such a date. See if that works. Tell them that youve been having some prank phone calls and you need to see who it is so that it can be stopped.

Q: my dad's offering to buy me a used car. what are some cute cars that aren't too awfully expensive?
Well it varies. You can go to a used car dealership and find some really cute cars for very cheap, it depends on the mileage thats on them though. My dads buying me a car also and I went shopping for one and I found a 2002 mitsubishi eclipse spyder for 6K, which is REALLY good. Just shop around, go to some dealerships and see what they have to offer, Im sure youll find something.. or you can look online at kellys blue book.com look up KBB or something on google, you'll get a website.

Q: Well, you see, I have a really messed up mom. She tries to make me and my sister hate my dad. They are divorced. And she is making are lives suck because she wants to make my dad mad. I think she smokes, but she supposedly quit like 2 years ago and shes been smoking behind our backs. And I have no idea what I should do.
Well Im assuming that youre old enough to make your own decisions. Some parents when they get divorced try to make the kids hate the other parent, which isnt right. Simply tell your mom that hes your father and you dont appreciate what shes trying to do. Tell her that youd like to make your own opinions of your father and dont want their opinions of each other to interfere with yours. As for the smoking thing, honestly, thats her business. She's old enough to do so, and whether or not you like it, she will most likely do it anyways. If it really bothers you though, you can talk to her about it and say, "mom, I think you have been smoking, and i was wondering if maybe youre doing it because youre stressed or something" Then proceed with, "It really botheres me that you do, there is other alternatives to stress than smoking"

Q: I'm 16 and i lost my virginity to my boyfriend of 3yrs. it was just 3 days ago. we didn't use protection i'm worried i could be pregnant. i wouldn't have done it if i didn't love him. but his phones been cut off. He has a cell phone but hasn't called or anything. Should i be worried or relax?

WHAT SHOULD I DO???


I wouldnt be worried about the calling thing just yet. Maybe hes busy or something. Just wait it out and if he doesnt call in a week, call and ask what has been up with him and why there hasnt been any communication. As for the pregnancy thing, you can only get pregnant the week before your period, so if that was around the time that you did it, I would be a little worried, but not that much. If you dont get your period within a month then Id go online and check pregnancy symptoms. If you have some or all of them, then I would find a way to get ahold of a pregnancy test to be sure.

Q: when do you ovulate? i have a very irregular period, is it before the white stuff comes out of you or after........is after the stuff comes out then you can become pregnant really easy or before ?
Well. I'll put it this way. You can only get pregnant the week before your period. Within that week your ovulating and your eggs are able to be fertilized. When you have your period, its your bodies way of getting rid of all the eggs that were not used. :) I believe theres a slim chance that you can get pregnant while on your periof but I dont know of many people who engage in sexual activities while on their period.

Q: i was looking through questions on here..and someone said you can get a yeast infection from wearing colored underwear...it sounds completely untrue to me because what does color have to do with anything? so if anyone knows for sure can you set the record straight?
lolll. Colored underwear has nothing to do with it. Yeast infections happen because of lack of cleanliness, or sometimes because it runs in familys. some people are more prone to it than others. Dont worry, if you wear pink underwear it wont cause anything! :)

Q: In highschool I learned that don't just getgirlfriend because you want it and that's what God wants in my youth club. I agree with my leaders. How do I find one? How do I get the courage to ask? To date? To entertain her?
Well, I dont mean to offend anyones religion or anything by my comment but nowhere does it say in the bible that you HAVE to find a girlfriend, there are people that are completely content with being single. Start talking to girls and when you find one that you like and would want to start seeing then do so. Find out if you share some common interests and if you think shes interested in you too, and then ask her if she would like to date you. Maybe go to a movie or dinner or something. As for the courage thing, I suggest trying to figure out if she feels the same way towards you, in case youre afraid of rejection. Then just go for it, if she says no, there is always alot of other girls out there that Im sure youd be compatible with

Q: well im 16 years old...and for over a year i have been having problems with my breats...very bad sharp pains..not like those that happen when they grow and everything..but really painfully sharp pains...and i have a couple big lumps in my breasts...and they keep gettin bigger and bigger not real fast but slowly..im scared to talk to my mom about it..and im scared to make an appointment to find out..wat do i do!!
I agree with the person below. Breast cancer can run in teens. Its rare but it CAN happen. I know its scary but it could be something serious and you dont want it to get any worse. Just tell your mom that they hurt and youve been having pains and want to get it checked out just in case. It could be something less scary, you never know. but just to be on the safe side I say that you should tell her. dont be scared! It's for your own good & health benefit.

Q: Okay,This isnt about me.

My friend likes this guy and he likes her too (he is 3 years older than her too) and she thinks he is using her and i think she should give him a chance but he told other girls he doesnt want to get in a serious relationship so what should she do?
Well. There's really no way to tell what exactly hes doing, regarding using her or not. If it were me, I would give him a chance. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to prove themselves and if they prove to be a user and a jerk or something, then chance over. No second chances. Tell your friend that maybe she should give it a shot but be cautious about it, just in case her intuition is right. :)

Q: i broke up with "Casey" about a month and a half ago. I did it by having my cheerleading coach call and leave a message. Now for the past, couple weeks i keep having dreams about him... or that involve him. one was that he broke into a hotel that was the 1st one and the latest one is there was some challeng that me and my friend (some kid i made up in myhead... lol) and casey like broke into the house we were at and than he helped us.
everytime hes in my dreams theres a few things the same; we always say or write "I LOVE YOU", some one asks if we are going out: sometimes the answer changes thought, and i wake up missing him. i think that this may meen that i miss him and want him back but i dont have the guts to ask him out, i just want to hear what everyone else thinks that it may mean...
Well. Dreams are just dreams. They can be interprited in many different ways but if you miss him, thats something you search for inside your heart, not in your dreams. If you do still miss him, maybe have a talk with him and let him know how you feel. Just say something like '' I feel really bad about what happened with us breaking up. Ive been thikig about it since it happened and I made a mistake. I do like you, and I miss you" Then see what he says and go from there. Good luck sweetie.

Q: My parents decided to let me get a 70 dollar l.l. bean rolling backpack, because I have so much books that I my back hurts if I get a regular backpack. But before I buy it, I was wondering, is a rolling backpack ok for an 8th grader, or is it like out of style and babyish? Like do alot of people have rolling backpacks? Thanks!
I agree with the person below. It makes sense, yes, but I havent seen one in a long time. I'd go with the messenger bag also. Its just as efficient and really stylish, but remember it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks but you. If they dont like it and you do then oh well. Go with what you like, but I think you'll find a cute messenger bag you like. They have them almost anywhere, I'd go designer though, or at least name brand.
