I am 16 years old and have old acne scars that I just can't seem to get rid of!! There are like small dark marks that are hard to cover up. Im currently using Acne Free Scar Fade and Erase and have seen hardly any results after using it for almost 3 weeks. Is there any inexpensive product I can try to fade them considerably??

When was the last time you donated blood?
I donated blood today and no one was there donating blood, but me. I donated blood because some lady called me and asked me to. Why don't more people donate blood when it is such an easy way to help other people?

SEX FACTS
Body: : +Both women and men+
--------------------------------
1) Masturbation is healthy for both men and
women.

2) 70% of high schoolers have had sex before
they have graduated. 27% loose their virginity senior
prom night. Only 3% wait until marriage.

3) 95% of men would have sex with a girl after 1
month of dating. Only 10% of women feel this way.

+5 Reasons Why Sex is Good+
---------------------------------------------
1) It is a good workout. Sex burns about 150
calories every half an hour of it. It will lower your
cholesterol and improve breathing circulation.

2) You won't get sick. According to research if
you have sex 1-2 times a week you are less likely to
get sick.

3) You'll feel happier. You will feel a greater sense
of well-being. Women who have more sex were
clinically proven to be less depressed than women
who dont have sex.

4) Makes you look better - [ problem is, ugly people
don..t get any ]. Sex releases hormones in you which make your skin and hair softer and shinier and tone your physique.

5) (The best reason) You will live longer. Studies
prove that sex makes you live longer. Men who
had sex 1-2 times a week had half the death rate
as those who did not indulge themselves at least
once a month. It also makes you look younger. If
you have sex 3 times a week you may look up to
10 years younger than you really are.


+Some stuff on the ladies+
------------------------------

1) Only 9% of women around the globe consider
themselves "attractive" (20% of British women
do).
43% of women use the term "natural", 24% say
they have "average" looks, 8% prefer the
term "feminine", 7% say they are "good looking",
and 7% say they are "cute", and finally only 2% of
women say they are "sexy".

2) An estimated 85% of women wear the wrong
size bra.
3) 60% of women have had breast implants.
4) 75% of women dont like oral sex
5) 95% of women shave their privates.



Body: Men:
1) 94% of men lie about their penis size.
According to condom manufacturers, only 6% of
men use extra large condoms.

2) The average man is 5 inches long when erect
(no matter what you have heard ladies, that's the
truth).

3) 80% of American men are circumsized. Even
though Pediatrics say it is not necessary.

4) No matter what all the ads say, nothing can
make your penis grow but time (most men reach
the end of their growth by the early 20's)

5) There is no correlation between penis size and
shoe size, hand size, or nose size.

6) Blue balls does exist! It's technically
called "prostatic congestion."

7) Only 16% of men shave their privates.

Did You Know?
----------------------------------------
1) Having sex 3 times a week for 1 year adds up
to running 75 miles!!!!

Firstly I want a lip piercing preferably snake bites.

I've just left school and i'm going to a strict catholic college (so in short it's not permitted and I don't want to bend the rules as I really want a place in this college - cos it's good)

I have till september to get it done but I have a problem even if it did heal enough to take it out while i'm at school there is the matter of my grandparents.

They won't approve it will cause an enormous feud thingy and i don't want to be written out of their will. I have to visit them every other weekend I cannot avoid this as my aunty birthday is half way through the holidays so I will have to see them at least once.

So to my question.

How will I hide it? Or the better alternative how long can I take my piercing out for before it has healed properly. I have a maximumn of six weeks before college...

You may say why bother if it's such a problem but it's kinda a matter of principle i mean I really want this no point discouraging me.

Does it seem sensible to anyone that our most respected professions are our least paid and most poorly resourced. Does it seem right to anyone that Junior Doctors form Africa and Asia who were being trained at a huge cost to the British Government are suddenly refused work permits and get sent home. Does it seem sensible to anyone that fully qualified foreign nurses cannot get into the NHS for want of a induction and they have to work as carers only. Have we lost all respect for our most nobel of all professions?. Nurses have had enough and are about to be balloted on industrial action in the Autumn. Why do you think it has come to this?

Serious answers please...
I have been brushing, rinsing with listerine... but there's this foul odor coming from the extraction site. It's still sensitive, so i have just passed the brush there very carefully, and even then i sometimes draw a little blood. I'm very disgusted with my mouth! It smells like something died in there... 3 days ago i went to my dr. to have my stitches removed, and she said everything looked fine, so i don't think it's an infection.
Is it normal for the wound to smell? Does it go away soon?

I have been gaining a lot of weight lately, and from a diet standpoint I need to know what I'm doing wrong. My personal trainer I had last year told me I needed to eat more frequently throughout the day, but eat smaller portions...and that I should concentrate on proteins and whole grain carbs. Here is what I typically do during the work week.
4 am (start of my work day) - 1 Special K Cereal bar and 1 Peanut Butter Granola Bar.
6 am - Banana
8 am - Snack on plain pork rinds (no carbs)
10 am - 1 string cheese
11 am - Peanut butter and jelly sanwhich on whole grain bread, 1 sugar free pudding, 1 non-fat yogurt, 1 string cheese.
Dinner can vary...sometimes it's healthy like grilled chicken and peas, but tonight it was Wendy's out of conveinence.
I was down to 218lbs only a few months ago, and now I'm pushing 240 and I keep going up....I no longer have a trainer, and I'm only working out about twice a week. Besides increasing the exercise...is there something wrong with my diet?

For instance Frosted Mini Wheats VS. Wheat Chex. The Mini Wheats have sugar on them, but they are WHOLE wheat. Wheat chex is just wheat flour, not whole wheat.

First I got a small black spot on the left side of my mouth on the gums. I asked the dentist about it but he said just not to worry about it and that it would go away. It hasn't gone away and about two years ago I started dipping snuff.
The other night I put a dip in and my gums started stinging where I put the tobacco. I looked in the mirror and my gums have receeded quite a bit.
The black spot appeared before I began dipping so why do I have it? Do you think the tobacco is responsible for my gum recession? I should go to a dentist but I can't because I no longer have insurance.
