I'm a healthy, normal 14 year old boy (who has A.D.D. but not that bad) starting high school but lately I've noticed that I masturbate too much. I masturbate once every two days or every day and I've been doing this since the middle of last year and a lot this summer. Sometimes when I'm home alone I watch porn. Is there any way to stop? because I want this to stop so it won't get out of hand when I'm older. Is there any way?

I'm a new drinker of green tea, mostly for it's healthy benefits.
But, like most new drinkers, I'm suffering from pretty bad stomach cramps right now :[
and I wouldn't say I have a low pain threshold.
so um, I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything to settle the pain? ://
I drank the tea hours ago, and the pain has only just come now...

Earlier today,I was in the car and all the sudden felt my jaw building with pressure... I commented about it and my sister in law then tells me its swollen. I have one wisdom tooth,though I'm not sure that's what it is. But now that my jaws are swollen,i can hardly open my mouth..not only is this frustrating..it is scary. My face is hot feeling,there's pressure in my head....and under my chin was numb..not so much anymore. What do you think this could be?

So I bought a mattress that was too hard (like, rock hard...I have back problems and thought it would help) and have tried different toppers to make it softer. The egg crate foam was still too hard, plus it gets really hot! The memory foam also gets really hot. So far, I have liked the wool topper the best, but it flattens out after a couple of months and is not as soft anymore...and for $250 I couldn't keep buying new ones.

Should I actually get a softer bed, or is there a miracle topper out there that stays soft and isn't hot?

Thank you for any help!!

Well im 18 and my dad has been drinking ever since i could remember. Hes an average guy he works early and comes home but when he comes home theres usually a 12 pack of budweiser with him which he gets right up the street. Usually its every other day but for the past few months hes been drinking after he gets off work almost everyday and on the weekends its just an excuse to drink i guess. He consumes about 8-12 beers when ever he drinks. After hes done drinking he usually eats dinner then passes out. Its not like he doesnt spend time with me or anything hes a great father but im just consurned about his health and how can i progressivly stop him from drinking or atleast cut him down to maybe like 3 beers a day or something because 12 is just too much and sometimes he gets annoying when hes drunk lol

I ve been through some traumatic experiences and people are always saying to let go of things and not try to control everything. I dont know how to let go and I have no clue of even what it would look like. My therapist says to meditate, but what would that do what do I give up or let go of ? I know this seems like a simple concept but at the same time I feel like Im missing something. So if someone could fill me in any advice would be great thanks!!

I had a root canal Wed. and afterward they didn't prescribe me any pain med. and I always usually get it. this place said we dont do that. I was like hmm ok. and they said ibuprofen would help and it doesnt they specifically said do not call us bc we wont prescribe it. I asked my doctor to then, my family physician and she said the dentist has to. Anyways also, they said they thought I might've had an infection and said they'd preform anyway, can they do that? Usually I thought they give an antibiotic before and schedule again?? Please tell me if they were allowed anything they did. and where I can turn for pain med.? Besides another dentist, we can only go to that one.

I am in a class with a bunch of guys and they all compete to see how much they can lift. I am just trying to tone and not build much muscle. They all make fun of me (jokingly, but it still hurts) because i only lift at the most 10lbs with the weights and just the bar with the bench press. I was wondering if anyone could help me think of a way to make them stop without making a big scene.

Ok well i started to eat better and excercise more because i am young and bigger well 5'6 5'7 and around 174 lbs. i am a young teen and since i am bigger i thought that when if i dont do anything now when i am older i will regret it. My biggest inspiration for this was Josh Peck( from nickeloden's drake and josh, and the amanda show). I started to admire him because he used to be very big and he lost all of weight. And he lost over 100 lbs and did over half of it without a trainer. He did it because he thought he would have a healthier life and be a better role model for kids. and he is a role model to me. So anyhow i do around 125/100 crunches a day and eat ALOT less junk and less food in general and ALOT more healthy things lik vegies and fruits. i do an aerobics like thing for a little bit. bassically doing excercises while listning to music. If i keep this up how long do you think it might take me to lose this weight? also what are other excercises that i can do in my room.pls help
