Of getting diabetes in the future?

I'm 14 years old, 6'1.5'', about 150 lbs, pretty active. The thing is, I eat a lot of junk food. I eat fast food 2-3 times a week, ice cream, shakes, french fries, hamburgers. Im really skinny though. I used to be skinnier but i filled out over the past couple years. i have NO gut at all. almost a 4-pack. so should i worry about getting diabetes from all the sugar and crap i eat? cuz i know skinny people get it too. thanks a lot.

Are brain tumors contagious? For example, if a person has it, and coughs and sneezes without covering their mouths, would it be contagious for other people??

I have read that brain tumors are not contagious, but I do question how much research has gone into that to really define whether or not it is.. Since, the cause of it is still unknown.

It started one week ago. I just feel the urge to blink very hard and I will do this about five or six times in a row. I have started to look at the clock and say ok I'm not going to do this for 15 min. It never works. I know I sound nuts. I am so aware of every time I blink now. If anybody has had this problem or knows anything about this please help. Thank you. Could it have anything to do with my sinuses?

I have a friend who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Her insurance only pays for so much. She has three children and is working as much as she can to make ends meet. Do you know of resources to help? We are looking at a benefit but I was wondering if there are others out there who know of some resources during a time like this? Your help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

me: no, i dont need it, not having sex
her: well its gonna happen & you're not gonna plan it. its just 'gonna happen' and if you arent protected ur just gonna be like oh sh**

For quite a while now, my body just cannot stand take away foods. particularly mcdonalds! but anything even! i understand that take away isnt exactly healthy eating, but i get abnormally bloated! ppl know wen i have eaten takeaway and im gettin embarassed by it. Not only that, but i run to the toilet when i drink coffee. Im not sure if thats the caffeine or the milk??? I ate sticky date pudding last night, got extremely bloated and woke up in the night with diarreah. i can now see what my body doesnt really like but i want to know why. and is there some sort of explanation or something i can do to prevent this bloated feeling? it makes me feel fat and i hate it! i recently went to fiji and absolutely nothing over there made me feel this way. i think because everything we ate was natural or something. they musnt have any additives or anything. could this help also? please help me guys thankyou so much
