I am 17 years old and my dentist told me that I should have all four of my wisdom teeth pulled, but only one is showing. Or at least I think only one, because there is only one that is giving me trouble. I'm extremely nervous. What am I to expect? Why do I need all four of them pulled? Are they going to cut open my gum?

Lets say your parachute didnt open. Could you not land feet first and do a roll or something. I am guessing lots of you will say your legs bones will go through to your chest or something. OK then how far can you fall without dying if you are a grown adult and are going to land in a field and trying to land feet first :D

I am 15 years old and I don't feel very confident about myself. I get very nervous in public situations or in large crowds. I just sort of freeze and I don't know what to say. Like for example, at the start of Grade 9 there was a grade 9 day for all the new students before school started. I was walking into the gym where everyone was but I saw everyone talking, and I knew none of them (different district) so I started sweating and I turned around and walked home. Even in a store, I get nervous of the people around me. I take medication for depression and anxiety but it doesn't seem to help me, and when I look in the mirror I hate who I look at. Maybe some people will think this is weird because I am a guy and guys are supposed to be tough or whatever, but I just need some advice about what to do to help myself. I don't want to drag all this into my adult life once Im out of high school so I need to know what to do.

I will appreciate any advice you have for me.

Lately I've been having these periods of depression and euphoria that phase in and out. I don't mind the euphoria (obviously), but when I'm in one of my depression "phases" I literally am about to kill myself. I never feel very neutral anymore. And then all of a sudden I'm instantly in tears of joy, and I thank God for how wonderful my life is. Is it bipolar? Or is it just teenage hormones going crazy, like my mom tells me. I'm a 14 year old male.

I was diagnosed with HPV back in October of last year. I had one wart and it cleared when I went for my follow up just this month, I told her that I've been doing research and that most facts are that I'll always have the virus. She said that HPV is so common that 3/4 peeps have it and don't eve know it. She told me just to use condoms and to be careful. No need to stress over it. She also told me to get the vaccine and my next appt is in April.

I've been sick and I heard that when you get sick and you're immune system is low you have an outbreak. True /not true?
I haven't had one since Last year...I know I'll always carry the virus, but not tell my partners...? I'm so confused on this virus. I know my immune system fights off the virus but, does it really? I expected to have an outbreak now that I'm sick and I haven't...thank god!

Advice?

Things from my husbands past bother me so badly that just the name of an ex makes my stomach upset and almost sends me into a panic attack. It only does this at certain times. Sometimes things are much easier to deal with. It is not a matter of being mature, I think it is not knowing how to deal with issues or things bothering me...can anyone help please. I constantly worry, and I am making myself miserble.

I need to lose about 60-70lbs and need help on what I should do. I tried once before for 6 weeks and didn't lose anything. Granted that wasn't that long but to go 6 weeks on a hardcore diet and excercise plan and not lose a lb just doesn't seem right to me.....

I really don't know how it happened. But I have become obsessed with my weight. I gained a lot of weight during both of my pregnancies. I am now 5'5 and 135-140 pds. I feel like a blimp ALWAYS! I was 135 in HIGH SCHOOL so I have never really been that small. But I don't know.. I am weighing myself 4 or 5 times a day, not eating for days and then eating and puking! I am embarrassed to say anything to my friends or family but now I don't really know what to do. I don't know how to just feel good about myself the way that I am. This all came out because I just realized that I had consumed a 50 count bottle of Metabolife's Extreme Energy Pills in just 4 days. I REALLY don't need any smart ellic answers.. I know I NEED help... unfortunately I can't afford it. But at the same time I dont know how to quit. I tell myself this is bad for me and then do it any way. I am a stay at home mom... if my kids ever did something like this I would hit the roof. And PLEASE don't tell me that I need to not think about myself and worry about my kids. I do love my babies and play with them and I feed them ... haha I get the most down at night.. and like now while they are taking their naps. Does anyone know of any good support websites? Or has anyone been through this before?
