Did you ever have a mean teacher in school? I had a teacher in 6th grade who was a total moron. We used to have to be weighed every few months. The school nurse would bring the scale around to each class. We'd go out into the hallway, she'd weigh us and measure our height. She knew I was sensitive because I was chubby, so instead of announcing my weight, she'd just write it down. This teacher deliberately waited until my turn and went out into the hallway with me. When the nurse weighed me, he looked at the scale and very loudly said, "Oh my God! I can't believe you weigh that much!" He was standing in the doorway, so the whole class heard him.

If you think for one minute this was motivation to lose weight for a 12 year old, guess again. I was absolutely humiliated. I had to walk back into that class and face 30 kids who were snickering and carrying on. You'd think someone who wanted to work with kids would've have learned in school about destroying self esteem.

Last Monday, the orthodontist told me that I could get my braces taken off, and I'm going in for that tomorrow, but last Monday, when he told me I could get em taken off, he took the bands off of my back teeth. They are now pretty sore, and it hurts when I chew food with them. Is this normal?

Having being confirmed with IBS recently after suffering for 3 years I was prescribed Colofac. I have also been taking any anti diarreahh tablets to the maximum on a daily basis as well as Buscapan and the occasional pain killer. Is there anything else I can take to stop the misery of constant stomach cramps and bloating not to mention the hours spent sitting on the toilet in absolute agony.

I'm a 15 year old male who has a rash down in my genital region. It is very mild; light red with white tops and it almost just looks like the pores are swollen but I'm not sure that's it. I was very scared that it could've been an STD even though I have never had sexual contact with another person, but I don't think that is it. The only other detail is that it usually smells pretty funky. Can anyone help?

Girls that are on the pill... do you ever wonder this..

If we miss a pill its bad right? And there's a possibility of pregnancy... now what about the 7 days where you take no pills at all or the fake sugar pills? Becuase not everyone's period lasts the whole 7 days we're not on pills... mine only last 5 so what about those other 2 days? Is it safe to have sex on those days or should we all be using backup such as a condom?

*If anyone could find actual information on the internet that would be great! Comments are fine but please, no guess's.

I'm a 17 year old guy, and I'm 5'10. I've been working out and eating well. I'm not overweight, but I just wanted to get into better shape. I've lost about 10 pounds in the past month, so I've gone from 185 pounds to 174 pounds. I feel great, but now my body is kind of unproportioned. My lower abdomen is still a little large, but the area-- I don't know the technical term... the area above my stomach has become very, very thin. My whole upper body looks like an hourglass, or something. I'm afraid that if I stick with my diet, I'll just lose more weight in that area until I look like a side-show act. Is there anything that I can do to shift my weight loss to my lower abdomen? What have I been doing wrong? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks.

Ack, its killing me if I'm still going to grow. I'm 16 years old, I have grown maybe a quarter inch since my birthday in December. I'm six foot two, and assume I still have some growing to do. Is it possible I've more or less stopped growing early, it seems like it. If not, how much more do you think I'll grow? I'm going to get a physical in a week or so, what kind of questions should I ask my physician? Thanks.

Take the food you want whether it be fruit or chocolate or dust

Cut the food in half and thats what you eat

And because its only half the calories, you can half twice as much

Yum yum, works 4 me, but i dnt seem to loose weight :(

I had a ppd test in june on my left arm at my pediatrician 4 college & it was positive. I didn't trust the diagnosis. I went to an infectious disease dctr 40 yrs in the practice regarded as best infec. disease doc. in my state. He gave me a ppd on my right arm
& it was a smaller mark & he read it as neg.

He said come back before I went to college to be sure, but this time I saw his partner for insurance reasons. Another I.F. doctor, 26 years in the field. I got a ppd from him in the left arm and the mark looks similar to when I got my ppd from the pediatrician.

It gets read on Tuesday. I think I'm positive. I had a chest x-ray in june & it was neg. Im not sure what to believe anymore.

How confident should I be if this doc. also says I'm neg.? I am unsure because I notice a bump, but the 1st I.F. said it was negative. The last thing I want is to be mis-diagnosed. Can I get active tb even if this is mis-diagnosed? Frankly I want to put off treatment till after colleg if pos.
