I am trying to insert a tampon because people tell me it is more comfortable. I tried putting one in but i cannot find the right spot. I know it is the middle hole, but i just cant get it up. I have tried using a mirrow and putting my leg on a toilet seat, help!?

Im a 20yr old white male. I'm 5'11" and I wanna say im content with my height. But I am concerned bout my growth for another reason. My legs seem to be disproportionately longer than my torso. I feel like I should grow another inch or two in strictly the torso to be proportionate. I also should say, because it probably matters, I don't think my puberty is over. My facial hair is still coming in, really only have it on the chin and above lip. I know 16 yr olds with full beards so I have to say im probably a little behind the curve, which makes me think that if the avg male stops growing at 18 maybe I will be later in that area too. Last I wanna add, my dad is 6'2" and size 11 shoe, like i said im 5'11 and i have size 12 shoe - another indication to me that im not in proportion. So what do you think is the likeliness that I am not done growing? When should I be sure that I'm done?

My boyfriend used to be heavily into drugs. He has been to rehab and no longer does anything but drink and smoke (not cigarettes) which kind of bothers me but I am not one to change another person. Anyways, we are planning in moving in together within the next 4-5 months and things are pretty serious. We have even talked about having children later after moving in together. My question is this, because he used to do drugs and still smokes, when we have children, will there be any chance of harm or risks? Should I ask him to stop a month or so before trying? I'm really curious and concerned. I want healthy children, I just don't know how smoking or doing drugs in the past would effect the baby.

I can't get her to go anywhere with me, she thinks everyone is staring at how obese she is. She is really small on top btw, and has big hips. Tell me she's nuts to think people are laughing at her size, right?
She is trying to lose 50 lbs. Does she have a distorted body image?

Today I was diagnosed with a left-sided synovial cyst. I've been referred to a Surgeon (appointment not until October 2nd). Has anyone had a synovial cyst and if so, what method of treatment were you administered? Since I've been referred to a Surgeon for a consultation, I believe that surgery is in the future for me. Has anyone had surgery for a synovial cyst? If so, can you describe to me what I can and should expect?

Thanking you all in advance and I apologize if my question totally doesn't even make sense, but I'm scared of surgery, especially on my back because I'm afraid of never walking again.

My brother who is now 16 years old has finally conluded that he wants to be circumcised and has brought it to the intention of the doctor. Is there anything he should prepare for or any procedures or cautions he should look out for? For example, my neighbor told me he would have a ***** for a full week until the "head" is fully healed (i dont know, it happened with her nephew) and things like, if he should do it or not. I am just looking for reassurances because I am already circumcised but that procedure was done at my birth, please answer promtly, ASAP!!! The procedure is tomorrow and I need reassuring, please....

I am bi-polar and take 4 different medications (for the past 3 years). I participate in partial health programs and have stopped drinking. I am doing many things in order to be healthy, but I still have these thoughts. The only thing keeping me going is my children, they would be devistated. Any advice as far as lifestyle changes, drugs, behavior, etc...? Thanks!

People said swimming would make you buff. Is that true? I have been swimming four times a week, and I feel extremely tired afterward each time - neck, back, arm, chest, hip, thigh, calf and even my foot. How long do I need to swim to have significant result?

My smile has never been symmetrical, because one side of my jaw is a little bigger than the other, but it is not very noticeable. I am very pretty, but since my denstist told me this 3 years ago I can't help but noticing it when I look in the mirror, or in a photo. This surgery can change your face a little bit and I'm afraid I will not be as pretty or not like the way I look. Has anyone done something similar? what should i do? (don't tell me i should love myself for who i am and bla bla bla... i know that, but it's kind of my insecurity)

I know this sounds weird, but I want to get the hiccups during class. It works perfectly for a distraction because no one knows your doing it on purpose. Please give me ideas that i can use during class.
P.S. We can have water in class
