Health - 30 October 2006

im 17, i've been shaving for nearly 2 years. I'm of middle eastern decent, so as expected, i tend to grow hairs a little faster than my age group. If you look at the picture below, you'll see the RED is where i currently shave, as other guys do too. If you look at the BLUE, that is where other hairs have grown, but i've hesitated to shave them because i dont want them growing back there darker and faster.. They're becoming more and more noticable, as i've only 'trimmed' them once, and they'r almost 2 cm now!(estimate).... my parents told me to not do anything to them, and they'll just 'fall out'.. Now, obviously that doesn't happen with hairs, they barely ever just 'fall out' until im 50 or w/e..... so what can i do,, shave them? wax? what are all my options?
thanks!

They recommend that men drink 1-2 glasses of wine or beer a day for your cardiovascular system and heart, but woulden't this had adverse affects on the liver after a while?

i smoked a pack a day for 4 years; i quit cold turkey, and never felt the addiction pulling me back, so that's no problem. but the thing that keeps bothering be is that i keep 'coughing up' the ickiness, and it's grossing me out and getting on my nerves. i quit so i wouldn't go through this anymore. how much longer till i feel like i did before i smoked?

So, this may be a silly question, but I'm sick and while I was brushing my teeth I thought....

Does the bacteria or virus that caused my cold stay in my toothbrush? Whenever someone has a cold we always spray the things they touched with Lysol to kill the bacteria, so does the same happen with a toothbrush?

I have been feeling very stressed and it is starting to effect my body.I'm not having problems at home or at school,but my mind just feels so over- worked and stressed out.My body has also been feeling weak,sore,and insanely uncomfortable/awkward.I take naps more often,and when I wake up I feel very sore.I'm also starting to lash out at family members without thinking about ti beforehand ,and thier reactions often add to my buisy mind's stress.
Recently everything feels so wrong and "sharp".Every noise seems to be sounds like breaking glass.
What can I do (besides anything that requires me to shove a pill down my throat) to get rid of this?
I am 14 if that helps at all.

I know it's a personal question, so disregard it if you don't want to answer. I have OCD, but it comes out mostly in worries and thoughts. Aside from a few very minor things, I do not have any rituals. I'm just curious-if you have OCD or if you know someone who has it, how does it manifest itself for you or that person?

I recently asked whether or not I should try out for basketball with a 5'9 235 lb frame. Based on what I got from Yahoo! Answers, and from just asking people at my school, I've come up with two options: 1.) Try out this year even tho I'm very slow, and lack skill and hops or 2.) Attend the weight room every day from now until football season, try to lose some weight, run stairs/sprint so I can gain speed and stamina, and work on shooting and moves on the weekends. What should I do? And, say I grow to about 6'1" by next year, what position do you think I would play (I'd be on JV). Thanks in advance. Oh, and I am willing to do all of the things in option 2, its not just talk. Oh, and sorry for the long read.
