A: coming from a 14 year old girl who is a normal size but feels huge, you cant say anything to change how she sees herself but be positive to her. keep reminding her her body will change and the curves will fall into all the right places maybe try introducing her to strong beautiful realistically sized celeb women that she can look up to? good luck xx p.s. all this will pass i promise. i would talk to your doctor going on a diet that not approved by a doctor could lead to eating disorders Diet, exercise and counseling! Try to see a doctor first and explain your concerns and the effect this situation is having on her,if its getting her depressed she eat more which wont help and she will end up going in circles,I''m sure they will help,if he recommends her to a...

A: lol u are like me same everyhing though im still skinny -_-i say you eat more fruits and way less junk food and exercise like run around your bloack two times a day Eat healthy foods and exercise normally. You''ll lose it over time. Fad diets don''t work. In fact, they can often do more harm than good. Don''t try to lose weight, especially not that young; you could start some really unhealthy habits and end up malnutritioned or bulimic. Instead, excersize more so your stomach will be toned. Jog around your neighborhood, do sit up''s, just don''t become an exersizeaholic. at 12 you dont need to worie about being fat, you''ll lose alot once u start growing because u need fat to build boobs lol Don''t diet if you are already skinny, exercise try a hola hoop or dance...

A: I wholeheartedly agree with the other ladies that TV and bedtime should not be in the same realms. Bed time should be for destimulation and TV stimulates. I also agree that 9-9.30pm is too late and moving into adrenalin territory. Once a child is running on adrenalin to stay up, you face a lot of anxiety issues and in some cases nightmare sleeping as the chemical fuels the brain into over stimulated imagination. Very young children cannot verbally express adrenalin anxiety, so they show their fear by refusing to sleep. Remember adrenalin is a survival reaction and is strongly associated with the flight or fright response. Can I suggest you watch your child for a few days and look for signs, after teatime, of quietening or slowing down, eye rubbing, grumpiness, yawning, tearfulness....

A: I guess that you have type 2 diabetes, and in type of diabetes and even with type one you have to have strict diet which very often do not need any other treatment. you will need to slow down on what is sugar as sodas and cakes but you can have once a while some crazy drive . but for now you will need to stop all this until everything get stabilised as sugar lrvel which explain your thirst. the endocrinologist will tell you what to do and what to eat and everything. your life is not stopping at all but you will need to be more careful that all. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin.  Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.  The cause of diabetes continues to be...

A: lack of sleep and depression. GO to a pediatrician. Mostly lack of sleep or dehydration/poor nutrition. Give your kid some Ovaltine and plenty of rest and see if that helps. My doctor had no question that my child had allergies because of the dark circles under her eyes. This bothers me....not knowing enough about the child...it could be vitamin deficiency, or something emotional going on...I remember a little boy in our neighborhood who used to stop by our house everyday after school. His eyes were dark and red also. He was terrified to go home. My mom, very concerned, sensed something immediately, and just came out and asked the boy, who admitted his evil sick older brother was sexually abusing him. I am not saying that this is the case,...

A: Hi Roger You cannot die from a broken heart but you can from illegal drugs.  You cannot defy a court order without expecting to be imprisoned but you can apply to have it rescinded when you present evidence that it"s no longer necessary.  Help is not needed for your daughter but it is for you.  You don"t want to go to jail but you have constructed your own one right now. I am quite certain that you could really benefit from long-term supportive psychotherapy.  I am less certain as to how you can get it.  What"s avaiable varies considerably from one community to another; and you want someone with patience, accessibility, training in drug rehab and social and family issues, and (I"m guessing here) either low or subsidized fees.  It might be hard to find...

A: You''re ideas are good. The only help I can offer is my prayers. What a wonderful friend you are :) What kind of defect? I had 3 open heart surgeries when I was a kid. I''m 22 now. Maybe, if it''s similar to mine, it might help them to talk to someone who is where their baby will be. Sometimes it''s the fear of the unknown that''s the worst. If they''re worried about her quality of life, and she''s had my kind of surgery, it might ease their mind to know she can be healthy and normal Please, let me know how she is. I guess it depends on how close you are to this couple. You could provide meals, do laundry, clean their house. Things that they cannot concentrate on now. You could watch the baby that is home so that they can spend more time at the hospital with the other twin. Good luck, I am...
