I've asked this time and time again and no one will give me a straightforward answer. Can you get breast implants at 17 in America?

If you take a three year break do you lose the muscles that you worked hard to get, or do they still remain under all the fat
I felt like it was worthless to put all that effort then just quit

How does Psychology(psychologist) differ from Psychiatry(psychiatrists)?

Am I correct in thinking that one tries to resolve problems with verbal therapy and the other medications.

And what are the achedemic requirements for both, are both considered MD?

thanks.

I feel the need to provide a service to my community and would like to enter the health care industry, at the age of 35.
I like the idea of becoming an RN.
Any input would be apreciated.

I have night and day contacts that are supposed to last for a month. However, I have the same contacts now for 4 months. And they don't bother me at all. I have never cleaned them since the day I put them on because I can wear it all day.

Is this bad? My eyes don't hurt at all, they feel perfectly fine.

I've been going to physical therapy twice weekly and my therapist, due to back issues, has me doing core stabilization but I swear my tummy is getting bigger and not flatter. It also feels firm like it did when I was pregnant and I know that I am not. What's going on?

I've been taking pain medication for a medical reason for a few years.... I take more than I should and realize that I am going to need help getting off this medication. I function & work normally.... noone has a clue & if I run out of meds early then I just say I got a cold/flu or whatever.
My pain is controlled but as I said I take more than I should.... not alot more but still it's getting to be an issue and I want to try and get off this stuff. I've tried weaning off...ya right...no will power.
I started a new job a few moths ago & can't just take a week off yet. I really can't afford to miss even a day of work either but I will if I have to but I am scared to lose my job as well.
My question is:
If I'm honest with my employer and just tell them I need a week or 2 off to attend a detox program.... can they fire me legally or do I have any rights? Instead of pain meds I was going to say I drink as soon as I get home until I go to bed every night and I need help.

I'm quite lean with some unwanted fat on my belly and breasts (they are hanging a bit if you know what I mean). I've got quite big arms and legs, but my shoulders are a bit too small and my chest is as I mentioned. I just want to feel comfortable when I take my shirt off.

I currently work on the same muscle group twice per week. For example, I work on my chest, shoulders, and arms for one day; then I rest for 2 days and rotate like this. Some say you should only work on a particular muscle group once per week to grow muscles. I'm quite confused. I don't want to waste time working out the wrong way.

Also, I do 4 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise with the same weight on each set. Should I vary the weights for each set?

Some also said that you must increase the weights and change your routines regularly to manipulate your muscles. Exactly how does one do that? For example, how do I change how I do a bench press exercise? Do I vary the speed or something?

Is this the worst time of year for episodes? What causes them? During episodes, do schizophrenics say mean things that they don't mean to the people they love? The guy I was with is having an edisode, I believe. Its been going on since a few days before Thanksgiving when we had a fight. He told my friend that next week that he still loves me and sees a future with me. The week after that he told her that he still cares about me but doesnt want a relationship right now. I spoke to him the following day, and he seemed like a completely different person. I'm afraid. I really love him, and I don't want him out of my life

Alright, so today i went to the eye doctor. The nurse did some test and then sprayed something in my eye and said to wait 30 min. for the medicine to work. The doctor came and did the eye test and prescribed me glasses. Now at home when i tried reading, the words all became blurry and i had to move the paper back to read it clearly. My glasses are for seeing things far away not reading. So is it because of the medicine i got sprayed with or are my eyes dying on me?
BTW i'm 15.
