Hi, me and my friends usually smoke cigurattes (once in a while like going to the movie, some club or something) but not daily.
And i was wondering we don't inhale ciggurates, we just puff it out. I tried inhaling it once ( the whole ciggurate) and i felt soooo lightheaded. my head was hurting soo bad. and i felt something weird in my lungs. ever since that i just puff it out. But when people smoke do they inhale or just puff it out?

and if they inhale it doesn't it make them light headed And is it bad to just puff it out?

My Dr. prescribed xanax for panic attacks some time ago...I don't have them now but he said if I could not sleep to take one at night but I take one half (scared of addiction) and I have bad dreams every time.....they are 0.5mg.....I also take the supplement Sam-e in the morning. I almost would rather have no sleep than to have the nightmares.

Last time I got my period, it was the last week of January,mine normally last about 4 days. I haven't had it since then. I know I'm not pregnant because I'm not sexually active. I'm 18 so my perios usually range between 4-5 weeks apart, but its been almost 7 weeks.

Can my activity level play a part in how often and how long my period is? I play hockey 6 times a week and go to the gym in between. But I'm not super skinny (5'4 and 145 lbs)

Could my activity level affect the long duration between periods, and the reason I only get them for 3-4 days?

If not, what else could it be?

I was wondering if the "blood brother/sister" thing can cause health complications; besides HIV, is there a medical reason not to do that? ( I am advising young children, and I could not find a real answer).

I remember hearing something about this, and I'm wondering if it's true. If so, where would I find a list of these ingredients that are banned in other countries? Also, does the U.S. have the highest percentage of obesity?

my face usually gets red when i talk to people that i don't know or do know like my relatives and classmates.. sometimes when i do know the person for months, my voice still gets shaky when talking to them.. like the people i do already know just like meeting old friends from the past.. its really weird.. my heart starts beating fast, and deep breathing occurs.. in class when i have to read out loud, my voice starts to shake.. i get nervous talking to people but i try not too.. everytime i talk.. it comes out shaky so i just keep quiet in school.. and its hard for me to really say what i want to say to people.. people thinks im immature and im too scared to do anything.. i get scared walking when people staring at me... what is wrong with me? and how can i stop this from happening to me?
its getting worser and worser and it just developed in my high school years.. i was never nervous before in middle school.. what should i do?

OK I know what your thinking. Why are you asking us a question about yourself? Am I right? OK here's the deal I just turned 21 on Jan 3rd. I know I can buy beer and all that but I don't drink or smoke so I could care less.

Well let me get to the point of this post. As I said I just turned 21. Well I didn't hit puberty till about 19 which sucked. I had the squeakiest voice. It surprised me when I heard it on a recoding. But now 2 years later it all croaky. I know in the process of the voice changing it does that. But why is it still ding it now?

That's not all either. With me it's when it rains it pores. I haven't even started shaving yet. Not cause I'm scared to the hair on my chin don't really grow and I don't have a full mustache. I know some guys wish they didn't have to shave but this is really creeping me out. Why? Cause there's more.

I have no chest hair minus a little under my navel. The hair under my arms don't grow like it's suppose to. My right underarm has more hair then the left. I have very little hair on my legs above my knees.

I know you probably don't want to hear all this but I just don't get my body. It's scary to hear my own voice and I don't want to buy Rogaine to put on my legs and arms. Does anyone know whats going on? I mean I know I started late but should it really still be happening? This makes my life suck.

I am a recovering anorexic and find that people will often wonder why I became ill etc?
