Health - 11 July 2007

I am 16, a virgin, and my period is like always EXACTLY on time. I am a little worried. My last period was on June 9, now it's July 12, and still, nothing. I am trying not to worry, because i know that when it comes i am still going to be miserable for a week, but i can't help it. My period is always exactly on time. Like if it's supposed to come on the 5th, the at 12 midnight the 4th, it'll come. It's NEVER EVER late. I am trying not to be concerned. I cannot tell my mom because i am graduating soon and if i tell her about this it'll just tip her over the edge that i am not ready for college (i am, really). And besides, i don't want to upset her if it isn't serious. I just want to make sure.

One of my close friends always obsesses over weight..! she is no way over weight and is proberly the same size as me! when ever she eats anything she then feels guilty that she shouldnt have..goes on these funny diets..and the worse thing is she does it with her mum..and i think her mum is just setting a bad influence to be honest! and it makes me feel that..if she thinks she should loose weight then i must need to too..
but i dont want to..i want to live me life..dont over eat..but if i want some chocolate i should be able to with out this major guilt..
Al the girls in my year at school just talk about weight..and im telling u, these girls are tiny! and it just makes me so depressed to think they could even begin to think they are fat..!
the other week they had a tape measure and were measuring there waists and comparing each other..and i just stood there and thought...why are girls like this?? It just makes no sense to me..!
How can i not let this crazyness effect me?

I went to one of those free BMI sites, and found to my surprise that it was 31. So I've decided that I need to get my a** in gear. If anyone could give me a list (short or long, any help is appreciated) of nice and easy healthy foods that you can get at any grocery store it would be a life saver. I've noticed that a lot of healthy foods can only be found at few stores and are expensive. Thank you for any and all help

No fever, i feel totally fine, i had the chills for like 5 minutes but that may be an automatic response of my anxiety kicking in. no fever, slight sore throat, but i have post nasal drip....nothing else appears to bother me except that im scared.
its been 45 min since i woke up and i feel verrrrrrrrrry slightly better,

i could have slept on it funny and just have a "kink" in my neck, but i dont "feel" the kink...

what should i do?!!?!?!?!?!??!

Hi...I'm 15 years old but this is not about me
I have a friend who is also 15 and well he just told me and my other friends that he has had a few (more than 1) heart attacks till now. the situations he has described were those when he was under some great stress(like him breaking up with his girlfriend). He has been to the doctor and he has told him that he might die if he has two-three more attacks.
But the problem is that this friend of mine is a huge attention seeker and i fear he just might be doing this to get the sympathy of others.
So my question is can a teenager have heart attacks like this due to panic or is he just making this story up?

I've had a chesty cough for over two weeks and for the last 4 days I have had a pain at the left side of my waist. It feels bruised, the pain is worse when I cough but i also feel a dull ache constantly. Is it worth seeing my DR about or will it just go away?

I have hit a plateau.I am eating and exercising right.
I eat almost the same thing everyday (7-8 servings of mixed vegetable and turkey breast) . Could my diet have caused me to hit plateau,since I eat pretty much the same stuff everyday?
How do I break the plateau?
