during the weekends, and specially in the summer i sleep a whole lot, and when i'm at home, i always prefer to be on my bed watching tv or something, i'm only 15[f], but i'm scared to death that i might get a bed sore/ulcer or something. am i too young to get these or should i be worried already? are they cureable??
But I've gotta say, that watching loads of telly and sleeping loads isn't good for you. T.V. can give you bad eyes, and sleeping lots (ironically) makes you tired all the time.

if you get a score of 11 of below, you're at risk. I will be very surprised if you get less than 20. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
