Belly button bleeding?
Posted Friday July 23 2010, 1:52 am
My belly button has a scab inside it. I find myself picking at it and then when I do there is blood? I've had this once before but I guess it eventually went away. Anyhow it is very strange and I'm wondering if anyone else had dealt with this or knows what the cause could be.
Thank you.

"Too" Low BMI?
Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 8:43 pm
How low is too low for a body mass index? I understand that anything under 18.5 is technically considered underweight but I was just wondering if anyone would like to share what they think is absolutely too low for BMI.
I am a 19yo F and my BMI is 16.58. I used to have some "disordered eating" but I am not restricting calories or overexercising, and my doctor did not appear to be overly concerned when I got my physical last week. My period has stopped, though, and I've increased my fat intake (avocados and nuts) but it has not returned (I know that I can't be pregnant, so it's not that). I eat when I am hungry, and try to not eat when I'm not hungry (though we all have those overly-indulgent days). If it has any sal...

Hair falling out?
Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 5:05 pm
Hello, i'm 14/f and when I shower I lose pretty much a lot of hair. I shower every day and wash my hair. So, my question is, is it normal to be losing a lot of hair? I feel like i'm gonna be bald at some point in my life :P. Not to mention that I have more hair on my left side than I do on my right because my ear sometimes shows, haha. So yeah, is it just me and I will have less hair or is it normal?

Do your feet and nose really grow your entire life until you die?
Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 2:07 am
I heard before that the only parts of your body that will always continue to grow is the feet and the nose. It really doesn't sound true to me because you don't see elderly people with huge, huge feet or noses. I am wondering if it's just one of those myths that go around. Does anyone know if it has any truth to it at all?
Thank you very much.

My Co-Worker has HIV/AIDS. Should I Quit?
Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 1:10 am
I know in this day that lots of people are HIV+ or have AIDS. I know they can lead decently healthy lives. Just, personally, I have never known an HIV positive person or someone suffering from AIDS, and, of course, I do not want something like this. It's just scary.
Yesterday I was at work and this new guy said something about getting AIDS tested the day before. He was talking to another guy from work that he's made friends with.
I am really feeling weird about this. I know HIV/AIDS has to be spread through blood or some sort of bodily fluids like that. I know I'm not going to just catch it from the air or just looking at him. I'm a bit uncomfortable though and I'm nervous. I won't ever know if the test says h...

Is there a way to get a cheap abortion?
Posted Thursday July 22 2010, 12:23 am
I've had two abortions previously and they have been very expensive $$$. I just found out that I'm pregnant again and I don't want the baby and so my first thought was to have another abortion right away. I called the clinic and they gave me the same estimate as the previous time and I really don't have that kind of money right now and don't know how I can come up with the money. Is there a way I can get a cheap abortion or something really low-cost? I just turned 18 a couple of weeks back so I don't think my parents insurance would cover it or anything either so that's kind of out of the question I think. I don't think I can ask my parents for money for the abortion this time because they already paid for the first one I had.

How to get white teeth?
Posted Wednesday July 21 2010, 5:51 pm
I had braces on for about 1 1/2 years. So, now that they're off for about 8 months, I want whiter teeth. I've tried so many different tooth pastes that say they will whiten your teeth in like 2 weeks...of course, didn't happen. I'm almost 15 and I would really like white teeth like some other teens have. I've never smoked but someone in my family does but not in the house. I know that there has to be somehow to make them look nicer. Please give me some tips to whiter teeth that you know really does work or a really good tooth brush or tooth paste! Thank you so much, you would really help! (Make sure that it is also healthy and nothing harmful).

Can you tan with a tampon in?
Posted Wednesday July 21 2010, 2:56 am
This is my first year really tanning and I was talking to my friends about it because some of them have some really nice tans already. I really want to get really tan for school this coming year so I've been tanning every chance I get.
My friends usually know when I'm having my period. I didn't think anything about this but I'm on it right now and I was telling them how I was about to go tanning. My 1 friend is like I can't tan with a tampon on though and I should wait until my period is done. I asked her why and she said that the string of the tampon has been too exposed while in the tanning bed and caught fire on a few people. Obviously I don't want something like that to happen. I do kind of not believe what she is saying ...

Does alcohol make you bleed more on your period?
Posted Wednesday July 21 2010, 2:51 am
I am 22 and have been having my period since I was 12. I have some really bad cramps tonight. I was thinking of having a few drinks tonight so I'd sleep better and not be waking up with cramps all night long.
I know alchol makes you bleed more though when you have wounds. If I drink tonight will it make my period heavier? Will it make my cramps worse for some reason?
Thanks

Can guys fart from their penis?
Posted Wednesday July 21 2010, 2:46 am
This is a serious question. I know it sounds stupid at first.
I know girls can fart out of the vagina when some air gets trapped in there. I think they call it queefing. I've talked to my friends about it before because I've noticed it from time to time. We're kind of curious if boys do something around the same thing? I mean...does air get trapped in the penis and make the fart noises some how too? Like, is there a guy version of queef? We're just curious is all.

Do I have Pica?
Posted Wednesday July 21 2010, 12:03 am
Ok, so I think that I might have the eating disorder called Pica. Here's some info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_%28disorder%29
Here are some of my symptoms:
I love chemical smells and tastes: libraries, hotels, video stores. If anything tasted like how these places smell, I'd eat them.
When I had a retainer, I'd want to swallow it. I loved the plastic-y taste. I like sucking on bottle caps and pen caps for the same reason.
When I'm blowing up balloons, I want to eat them. I also like to chew on rubber bands and other rubber things.
I eat paper, paper towels, and Kleenex (not very often, but I do enjoy the taste).
I LOVE the taste of sandstone. I'll go to bluffs and break off ...

Sunburn Tan
Posted Monday July 19 2010, 4:55 pm
I acquired a sunburn tan, meaning that my skin burned first and turned into a tan. Now, the skin is very dark and doesn't feel natural. It has a soft leather feel. Will this eventually go away? Because I have to say that I don't really like the look or feel.
**I am unable to use the sunscreen that we purchased because it makes my skin irritated and I have yet to purchase sunscreen meant for sensitive skin.

birthcontrol skipping the placebos and taking the next pack
Posted Monday July 19 2010, 12:44 pm
I've been on birth control since October 2009, and I'm going on a little vacation with my boyfriend, and I'm supposed to get my period over it, I was wondering how harmful (if it is) would it be if I just skipped my placebo pills and went straight to my next pack? Would that affect my next period? I'm just wondering. And is it safe? I mean I know you're supposed to get your period for a reason so I don't know how that would make me feel when I did get my period the next time but yeah..
Thanks :)
