My parents keep telling me if I do a lot of jumping jacks and jump roping, it'd make me grow taller. What kind of BS is that??? I asked them, wheres the proof? They said the doctor who is specialized in knowing "growths" told them that and my parents agreed. My parents are also asian so I hope you guys get the idea. I kept saying its not true yet they've been yelling at me in anger saying it's true, DO IT !!!!!!! ....yeah ok

BEFORE YOU SAY YES OR NO... please specify whether or not you had a numbing gel prior to the injection... and how much it helped, or didn't help. All of my siblings say that it completely took the pain away.

I woke up this morning and yesterday morning with dizziness and I don't know what to do to stop this. I know there is no medications for dizziness am I correct? My eyes feel heavy and I can't walk in a straight line. I am on medications with sleeping pills and I take them over 11:00 pm a lot. I am not sure if this has anything do with this. I am worried that this will happen for months. Do you know any other things that may have caused this? I wish this dizziness can stop. Can somebody help me? What do I do?

I am doing a seminar on alcoholism in relation to the book Ellen Foster. The book is about this girl, Ellen, and her father is an alcoholic. He abuses her and does other horrible things, and eventually overdoses on alcohol and dies. What questions could I ask the class to keep them participating in a discussion relating to alcoholism? Anything would be greatly appreciated! THANKYOU!

I am doing research for a friend who's child has stage IV Neuroblastoma. He is certainly undergoing chemotherapy at this time, and will have stem cell treatment in the in the near future. Nevertheless, this type of cancer has a poor long term prognosis. I am looking into every possible treatment, without harming him in ANY way.

Thanks!
