See I like him but we have been going out for a little while now and he is already telling me that he loves me. I am flattered and everything but I really think it is too soon for those kinds of confessions. Plus he is embarrassing at times like he will go up to random people and say something real stupid. I mean I do like him and everything don't get me wrong, but sometimes I feel like..."oh my gosh I can't believe I am dating this guys"...whenever he does one of his embarrassing moments you know? I want to tell him to stop or calm down a little but I don't want to seem bossy or don't want him to think I am trying to change him. I just don't know what to do. There is a couple of other things I wish he wouldn't do but those two are the main ones. I feel like we can work through the little ones together, but come on telling me he loves me?? I really like him and all but I don't love him well at least not yet or anything but I don't have the heart to tell him. What should I do?...HELP ME

I had 7 cavities filled. Immediately after I had tooth pain in two areas. That was 5 months ago and the pain is still there and I think its getting worse. It hurts every time I brush my teeth (the cold water hurts it, icecream really hurts to eat, even cool water hurts.) I have been waiting for the new year so I can get benefits again. There are other dentists in the office. Should I ask them to re-ex-ray and see what they did wrong.? Should I ask them to fix it without having to pay them/or bill my insurance?. I want it fixed but I don't want to run into them just creating more problems. Should I just cut my losses and go to another dental office all together? Anybody else out there who has had a similar problem?

Teenage pregnancy and out-of-wedlock childbearing have become central issues in the debate over welfare reform. Paradoxically, they are frequently seen as both the cause of increased welfare costs and caseloads over the last 25 years, and the result of the welfare system itself.

Out-of-wedlock births among teenagers have increased dramatically in the last several decades and now account for almost 70% of all teenage births. Yet, trends in teenage sexual activity and childbearing reflect broader trends in sexual and reproductive behavior among women of all ages and income levels. Women age 20 and older, for example, account for more than three-quarters of the unintended pregnancies and abortions that occur each year in the United States. Moreover, despite the sharp increase in teenage out-of-wedlock births, the increase has been even greater among older women. As a result, teenagers account for a much smaller proportion of out-of-wedlock births today than they did in the 1970s.

Contrary to popular belief, only 5% of mothers on welfare are teenagers, and just 1%, or about 32,000, are under age 18. However, a large proportion of women who begin childbearing as teenagers eventually end up on welfare, and those who do tend to need assistance for a long period of time.

Clearly, therefore, ensuring teenagers access to services that can enable them to avoid unplanned pregnancies and unwanted births is essential to helping them avoid or escape poverty and welfare. Making voluntary family planning services and, as a backup, abortion easily accessible to adolescents has been demonstrated to be a cost-effective way to reduce unplanned childbearing and its consequences.

For the most part, however, current welfare reform proposals take a different approach. They rely on disincentives-the threat of punitive measures down the line-to discourage teenage childbearing.

These proposals appear to rest on two basic assumptions: that poor, unmarried teenagers deliberately get pregnant and have babies in order to collect welfare and set up their own households; and that a prohibition on benefits will, in and of itself, discourage out-of-wedlock births. Undoubtedly, some teenagers want to get pregnant and have a child. Research indicates, however, that the great majority of poor teenagers use contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, and that most births to poor adolescents are unintended. It also suggests that most women, including teenagers, would prefer to give birth within marriage. The reality is, however, that marriage is not a realistic or even desirable option for most poor adolescent women.

This Issues in Brief examines teenage sexual and reproductive behavior, with special attention to key behavior differences among adolescents of varying income levels. It explores the extent to which teenage mothers depend on welfare and whether welfare recipients who gave birth as teenagers differ significantly on certain socioeconomic indicators from those who were not teenage mothers. It also considers whether current proposals to reduce teenage pregnancies and out-of-wedlock births among young women on or at risk of welfare are likely to achieve their stated goals.

I think overall we will save lives by adding more troops so that we can overwhelm them and take care of the conflict alot faster. I know that it means putting more troops in danger but if I were still in the military I would be proud to go and finish this.

I cannot decide where to go! My options are San Francisco University, CSU Northridge or CSU Los Angeles. For San Francisco, I am worried about rent and cost of living over there. Northridge and Los Angeles come close, I really like the Northridge campus. But I can't choose what school to go to.

Barb and a friend were playing golf one sunny Saturday morning. The first of the two some teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in evident agony.

Barb rushed down to the man and immediately began to apologize. She said, "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow."

"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be all right...I'll be fine in a few minutes," he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch.

But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and she put her hands inside and began to massage him. She then asked him, "How does that feel?"

To which he replied, "It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell."

I'm almost 19, my bf is 19, we've been going out for about a year, & I'm 100% sure he is the one I want to spend my life with. I'm so deeply in love w/ him & he loves me also, but I hear from many people that I am too young to know who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I've been told that I'm too young, naieve and inexperenced in life to know what I really want (in that department). It's hard to think of my furture without him in it, I'm not sure what I'd do w/o him. I know we are both too young to get married now; I wouldn't even consider it untill I graduated college & we both have stable jobs, but is it so bad that I've made that decision?

I am 41 years old and I am "growing" my hair out. I am a little plump and my hair is past my shoulders. I straighten it most days but I do curl it up. I don't like to wear it up unless I am driving or just with my family. My bangs are longer than my nose. I am not sure if I want to get it cut or if I just want to color it again. What should I do???

In July 2001, Lauryn Hill unveiled her highly-anticipated new material on an MTV Unplugged special. Fans had waited three years for Hill's follow-up to the critical and commercial smash hit, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Those fans who were selected as audience members for the MTV filming had high expectations for the former Fugees frontwoman. What they got was a display by an almost unrecognizable Hill, who had recently cut off her hair and wore plain clothing. The 2002 MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 album exhibited a different side of Hill, as she focused more on the lyrics and the message she was spreading rather than the musical arrangements. “Fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need,” she said during the concert. “I’ve just retired from the fantasy part.”

I MISS U LAURYN HILLLLLLLL :(
