I'm a teen, worried about my friends use of marijuana.
I don't want to sound overprotective or "lame" cause that could push them in the wrong direction.
I need to get the idea across that what they're doing could be harmful, and I don't know how.
thanks.

I just started going to the gym in my neighborhood, and I've noticed that after you input your age and weight, the exercise machines will, among other things, keep a count of how many calories you've burned, and at the end of the workout give you a total. How accurate are these readings?

My 17 yo son has ADHD and is Bipolar. He is emotionally immature for his age as well. He has such anger issues that I really fear for him. I have found nothing that really helps him feel better. Are there any parents that have suggestions on how to help this suffering child?

It's weird because it doesn't look like i'm that heavy but when i went to the doctors for a check up it showed that i am that heavy. It's hard for me to loose weight because i had an operation in january this year in my hip. I had a tumor removed that was inside of my left femur. there is a synthetic bone graft and a metal fixture in my leg and while it's not as bad as it used to be there is still some pain that makes it hard to walk let alone jog. I want to find a way for me to loose weight because i'm worried that my health will get worse. please if you have any tips let me know. and if there are any tips that will not be hard on my hip i'd love to hear them.

I was wondering about this and not sure if anyone knows or have thought about it. But looking at the sun or (light) is supposedly make your irises of your eyeball smaller like the circle part of your eyeball of the colored part I did not mean your eyes getting smaller like a asian...lol. But it could the sun permanently, temporarily change your eye iris size? Because I am always looking at the sun and know it is bad for my eyesight but I am more worried about the looks about my eyes(yes laugh at me). I do not want my irises getting smaller and if you know if there are any ways or suggestions to make them bigger that would be great.
I think big irises are sometimes called people with beatle eyes. So does the sun really affect your iris of your eyeball is my question...THANKS please respond!

What can i do, I'm normally the crazy girl at school always smiling and always jumping around getting everyone in a good mood. But I'm not the only one noticing my friends are now starting to notice at luch they continue to ask what the matter is and i deny and say nothing because I don't know what's wrong.

Yah i hurt because of a friend i got in a fight with maybe 3 months ago but i doubt it's him.

Is it because i am maturing?

is there any kind of medication i could take for age 13?

Also i'm real shy about this.. i can't talk to anyone but two of my friends and i think they are getting a little annoyed by it.
How can i fix this?

a day before getting my period i felt like a pimple/lump under my breast. Im overweight with large breast. it was painful when I touched it, then when i raised my hand it would hurt. It felt swollen from the inside and it was a bit red on the outside. 1 day later i noticed a tiny black spot just in the middle of the redness but the swollen is reduced.
today it has been 6 days now, i dont feel pain only when i press on it and it got down to a size of pea. but the black tiny spot is still there, no redness. should i be concern? or is this cause of my period and sweating in a closed area?

please help and be mature.

Well my period came 1 wk early on Oct 11 and wasn't spotting but was lighter then normal. It lasted 3 days then stopped completly. I took 2 hpt tests and both were Negative. (they were far apart from eachother. ) Then i have had some nipple pain and a lil chest pain. Today i had some pink on my toilet paper and so i put a tampon in and then later took it out it wasnt heavy bleeding or anything and it had that red chunky stuff on it. What could it be? Season changes, stress, or what cuz im tired of worrying and i dont have a doc yet.

My doctor suggested I switch from Ortho-tri cyclen Lo to Levora. I've been on Lo for over a year and a half and I've never experienced the bloating, breaking out or weight gain that is usually associated with birth control.
He said to dispose of the placebo pills, making it so that I have no period at all. Is this normal/safe?
I've tried to look online to find some info, but I haven't gotten much.
Can anyone tell me the side effects of Levora, and whether or not I'll experience a big difference? Anything would be of assistance.
Thanks.
