I have been begging my parents since I was 15 to let me drive. I am 16 now. Younger than my entire junior class. I don't turn 17 until late fall 2007. They won't even let me get a learners permit. I have tried everything, at least that I can think of, to get them to let me to.
I'm in alot of clubs/study groups where I need to drive around. My parents are continually late to pick me up. The worse was when I had to wait 3 hours after basketball practice in the middle of winter for them to pick me up. And if I stay after for a club its usually 1 hour I have to stay sitting outside waiting for someone to pick me up.
I haven't given them a reason to not let me drive. I have basically straight A's except for 1 B. I do loads of volunteer work with clubs. I have never gotten into any serious trouble or any trouble. We live in a relatively safe suburb in Oregon. My parents say that I can maybe drive when I get into a college.(senior year) Any advice?

I have an 11 month old son. He refuses drinking from a sippy cup. We have tried having him watch us drink from it as a demonstration. It hurts to see him cry so hard.

Can any one give me some advice as to how to gently transition him from bottle to sippy cup?

Thanks in advance.

I have tried children's recipe books, read the magazines, tried everything I can think of. He loves Vegimite sandwiches, milk and juice. Sausages and pies occasionally, chicken every now and again. He eats heaps of fruit, bananas, kiwi fruit, oranges, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, pretty much all types. He is healthy and happy, I would just like him to broaden his tastes and try some vegies!!! Does anyone have the answer? Or perhaps advice?

Yeah, yeah -- obviously not exactly as written; I mean, the son of Mary Jones and John Smith being Michael Jones Smith.

And, would you bother with a middle name thrown in after the first name, or should everybody stop at three?

"The daughters of teen parents are 22 per cent more likely to become teen mothers themselves..." -- everywhere

Why? I would've thought that if anybody would know how difficult it would be to have a kid when young, and if anybody would've had how to use birth control hammered into them, it'd be kids whose parents had them exceptionally young. But, apparently not.

What am I missing?

I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. I took a pregnancy test this morning and the line was very dark.

I think I am losing some of my pregnancy symptoms. I still have to pee a lot, I am tired, I have cramps in my uterus, and my nipples hurt.

But my breasts were hurting bad, and now they only hurt on the sides near my armpits.

Is losing tenderness in your breasts a sign of a future miscarriage?

I can't call my doctor, and this is my 1st pregnancy so I don't know if this is normal!

I am scared! Help!

You know a midwife will feel for how high your uterus is? What is she feeling for? If I was to try and do this myself, could I? And how?
