I am a 14 years old guy and I eat loads of junk food. The only exercise i get is that I play basketball for at least 2 hours Monday-Friday but other than sat I just sit on my butt playing video games and watching T.V. In spite of my lazy habits I am pretty thin for my age, about 115 for being 5,6. I feel and look pretty healthy but my considering I've been living my lazy lifestyle for so long I feel like I should be twice my weight. All my friends tell me that one day I'm am going to be really fat. Am I?

Has anyone ever taken Celexa? I have taken it for a few weeks now & I am so TIRED. I just want to sleep forever. I have no desire to leave my bed ever. I heard that this is the gentler form of Lexapro, so has anyone on Lexapro had these symptoms? My doc won't change my meds either until I talk to a psychiatrist. Ugh.

In Britain, where cell phones outnumber people, researchers asked volunteers to answer questions typically used to uncover addictions to gambling and other problem behaviours.
It turns out that 17 percent of the respondents had an unhealthy dependence on their cells, based on their answers to the questions.
More than a third said they were preoccupied with their phones and used them to escape their problems or lift their moods.
And a whopping 65 percent said they continued to use their cell phones despite mounting bills.

In another study, the same researchers asked volunteers to give up their cells for a few days.
When they gave up the constant connection, the study subjects actually felt less stressed, and their blood pressure didn't spike as high when they talked about their phones.

Try turning yours off for a couple of days and see how you feel.
Some face-to-face time with friends may be just the right replacement for cell phone overload.

If you decide to take a cell phone hiatus, be sure to let the important people in your life know how and when to reach you.

I know of at least 2 men who are married to very controlling women who dictate almost every aspect of their lives. Both are taking meds, one for bipolar and the other I don't know the diagnosis.

The wives are happy to see their husbands medicated for 2 reasons. One is that they are more controllable and the other is that the onus is off them. If hubby is taking meds, the difficulty obviously is with him.

Is putting chemicals into one's body a better solution than dealing with the core problem?

My sister is 11 years old, and recently she has been feeling very ill and different. She has been getting headaches almost everyday, stomach aches, diarrhea, crying a lot, and she has this feeling where it feels like she can't get enough oxygen. She does not have a fever, and it is not the flu or a cold.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?
Hormones changing? a condition? a disease? anything?

Hello, I am a seventeen (almost eighteen) year old girl and I’m not sure whether or not I have a vaginal infection. I’ve had one in the past I believe but…it wasn’t exactly like this. Anyways, I’ll just write down my symptoms and if anyone can give me advice it will be much appreciated.

I have a thick-ish white discharge (definitely more then usually) I do not know if it smells strange or anything because I have a cold therefore I can’t smell anything. I believe that the skin on the outside of my vagina is pinkish/red. Now why I find it different from a yeast infection is because it’s not really itchy and my boy friend and I were about to have sex (just last week because then I didn’t really possess any of the symptoms from above) but when he tried to penetrate I suddenly felt pain and discomfort therefore we didn’t (it wasn’t my first time having sex).

Anyways, if anyone can give me their thoughts or adive it will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Do infant tooth and gum brushes along with the toothpaste need to be approved by the American Dental Association? I am afraid that there might be additives in the toothpaste that might do more harm than good. And does anyone know of a brand that might be approved by the ADA?
