i was wondering if marijuana is really as bad as the media says, what can it do to you? i know that it’s not the worse drug and it’s very popular amongst teens, but why is the media spending so much time fixated on marijuana, instead of heroin? studies show that smoking cigarettes gives people a greater chance of contracting lung cancer than smoking marijuana. and people with cancer can consume marijuana legally, because it helps with the nausea a cancer patient may feel after chemo.

Ok, Wednesday night (the 21st) I got extremely drunk. I must have passed out with a lit cigarette because i noticed the most digusting burn on my leg i have ever seen. Also, my couch is burnded. I dont know what to do about it! What should i put on this bad boy to get it to heal fastest? What degree burn do u think it is?
And i already know that i have a drinking problem and that i was probably near death if i slept through a cigarette burning the hell out of me, so heres the pic. Thanks

i started having my period when i was 11 and now i am 15, and my period is still irregular (i think it came on time ONCE, but that is it), its not like its just always late like it comes every 3 months instead of every month, but it is just kind of random and i never know when it is gonna show. i have rased the topic with the doctor before (i think last year) and he said its normal for a girl my age, but isnt it supposed to be for how long youve had your period, not how old you are? i am still a virgin so it cant be anything sexually related. i do want to have kids in the future. will it still be possible?

Have religious Americans any right to criticize Muslims when the difference is just a matter of degree? The healthy relaxed safe beaches of Australia, Brazil and Europe, to name a few, confirm the backwardness of Americans who feel so ashamed of their own bodies.
The sad fact is that most of those who answer here
have never been to a nude beach and don't know what they are talking about.

My friend wants to model, but she thinks she's overweight. Is she? I think she looks like she could be a model, but I'm afraid to encourage her because I don't want to get her hurt. Is she overweight for a model?

Has anyone had any success using fertility drugs? Do they "ALWAYS" cause multi-births? ( like Kate + 8) What are the best ones avaliable...I dont want 6 babies, at once, but i would just like to know whats out there, from someone who has had experience from using them, and they have worked. There are so many different kinds, its overwhelming.. I would just like to arm myself with some information, from experienced mothers, about them before I talk to my doctor. What works and what doesnt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!!!

i injured my pinkie knuckle a couple of weeks ago.I haven't been to a doctor yet because i can still move it.The best way to describe it is it looks and feels like the bone that is the knuckle or covering the knuckle is pushed maybe half an inch down from were it's supposed to be.Its not swollen but i'm pretty sure that the big lump below the joint is the actual knuckle.I don't have pain in it.Any thoughts on this

I'm a 31-year-old female. I don't cry. I know that's not typical because I always hear about how weepy women are. I remember I used to cry and get emotional about things up until about my late teens or early twenties. Then I just stopped. My reaction to sadness or pain now is usually numbness, withdrawal, or sometimes anger, but never tears. What do you think could cause this phenomenon? My husband says I act like a man with boobs....lol.

I am 13 and a LARGE 34D. I am kind of tall, (5"6) but I am worried I'm not done growing. I know my cousin wants one- she's the same size as me, but 5"1', and a swimmer, so I am not sure if a 34D-34DD is large enough for a reduction.
