I'm a guy Whose only 5ft3 and 15 yrs old.. I'm pretty sure im gonna stay this height for the rest of my life ..Well until i get old and shrink Lol.

What will my life be like though? Im an average of 4 Inches shorter than Over guys my age. Im worried about whaths gonna happen in college? Uni? Work?

Will girls be unattracted to me because im only like 3 inches shorter than them? Even if they are shorter than me. Will they still find me unattractive? What should i do? I've been thinking bout buying 3 inches shoe lifts for college?

Will i ever be able to get away from my 'short' life?

I'd like a few answers or maybe experiences from other guys aroundmy height if its possible...

I supposedly have really bad acid reflux. Some of the symptoms include heartburn, spitting up acid, loss of appetite. I have tried using over the counter, prescription, and non-prescription medicines and nothing has helped. I have watched my diet and it hasn't helped either. Although, I almost think pizza is the catalyst. Do you know anyone that has a problem similar to this? Or do you do what it could be?

I heard that marathon runners rub vaseling on their thighs and underarms. Why is this? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?

Ok. To start I had surgery last Friday to remove a tumor from the back of my leg/knee. I am on bed rest and in a knee immoboilizer for 3 weeks.

Today:
I had been laying down for about 2 hrs straight. My leg was elevated. I got up to walk around and my foot turned purple/red. Very different than my other foot. As soon as I elevated it again it turned back to the normal skin color.

Do I need to consider a blood clot?

When I hurt myself badly like on the weekend I twist my ankle but I don't often get a bruise from that. Is this a good think or a bad thing? Most of my life I have never come out in many bruisers, and I have fallen of horses and all types of things.

I'm 17 years old right now, and I'm having a bit of a problem right now. I just graduated high school, summers coming up and college is just around the corner. I've seriously began looking at my weight now and it's such an issue.

I gained about 10 pounds in just a month because I've been consuming alot of alcohol and eating alot of junk food. I'm trying to turn it all around, want to lose some weight and had some questions.Also, I'm starting to take kickboxing and brazilian ju jitsu classes- so this is also one of my reasons to get my weight down.

I'm a little over 5 9 in height, weigh about 183.4 pounds right now. I just needed some advice on:

What is a good attainable weight in about 2/3 months?

What is the proper type of diet?

What type of workouts should I do?


These are basic questions, I just wanted some personal imputs so I can put it all into play. Thanks.

I am on the road and still want a protein shake. Can I make a shake in the morning and put it a lunch cooler until I drink it later? Will I lose any of the protein or anything else by letting it set there so long?

I have been prescribed very high doses of a dopamine reuptake inhibitor by a psychiatrist who wanted me to experience "more pleasure". Instead, I have been been talking to people who aren't there, have gotten astigmatism, tremors, and seizure-like jerks. After 9 months of this, he says "Oh no! You have dopamine syndrome!"
