All you can do is give them paracetamol and lots of rest.Mumps? Any advice on caring for a teenager with mumps. Thanks.?
My advice, stay away from me. lol. no im sorry sorry. ummm go to the doctor. I think it makes the sides of your neck swell right? I've heard eat soup, liquidy soup. check online for medical advice also. In the usa we get a shot for this as kids.Mumps? Any advice on caring for a teenager with mumps. Thanks.?
Lock the teenager away in a room with a potty and some weed. Then drink plenty of tequila and stay away.
Yeah, watch those testicles for swelling. Don't why mumps likes to move downstairs on the men.
If a male, make sure he stays in bed most of the time. Getting up and rushing about could result in infertility.
It's a viral infection. Tylenol, fluids, rest.
Lots of fluids and paracetamol every few hours...and of course some rest.

Im an 17 year old teenager that needs some advice on a Girl...that i got a Big Crush?
well to start of there is this girl i really like she is gorgeous but because of that i just get really nervous when im around her, thats what kinda scares me because im being temid around her, i feel like im pushing her away. She is so gorgeous that i would think she has alot of guys behind her. What troubles me is that i want to text her and call her, but i dont want to get annoying to her. But i also know that other guys are making a move on her and that stresses me out too, i dont know if i have anything to offer her. I Bet she hangs out with alot of other guys that she has more fun then with me. It really bothers me and i would feel so bad if another guy gets her. Because i know that i have a chance, because she said to her friend that im good looking. But its that im such a fool and boring guy when im around her!! anyone please help my description is im pretty tall 6'3'' i play baseball etc.
And heres a picture of me, for those that might be curious its not so great but its the most recent one.. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c55/Robert2xx0/l_7dae5fab85da911d242e6892bfbb2a74.jpgIm an 17 year old teenager that needs some advice on a Girl...that i got a Big Crush?
Alright, first off get over her being gorgeous. Think of someone else that's even more gorgeous like an actress or something when you're around her and see if that makes you a little less nervous.
Look, if you're hanging around her then you have a chance just don't let it pass you by. Call her, don't txt because that's too informal and all around lame. When you do call see if she wants to meet up somewhere like a baskin robbins or a starbuck's or something and make sure you open the door for and buy her stuff. Little things are what the chicks dig.Im an 17 year old teenager that needs some advice on a Girl...that i got a Big Crush?

Ok Hijab question (A teenager in need, of advice)?
Ok i real;ly enjoy answering people questions about my religion and why i wear the hijab but what really gets me is when people ask me did your parents make you if you took it off would your mom be mad at you and the ones i hate the most are do you take a shower with your scarf on and and ARE YOU BALD
why wouold people ask these questions i understand there just asking but i mean ok its like im not ever allowed to take it off what should i do in tese situations i answer them no and stuff and i dont like ignoring people soo what should i doOk Hijab question (A teenager in need, of advice)?
Once you wear a hijab these questions would be asked. You need to smile and answer politely as best as you can and don't get upset as many of the questions (which sound as if people are attacking you or picking at you) might just be on account of their ignorance or concern (in a small number of cases) Mostly I think it is ignorance.
Arm yourself with plausible answers and answer these questions very politely with a smile. It works to your advantage. Don't ever get upset over it then they will find reason to tease you and belittle you in the future.Ok Hijab question (A teenager in need, of advice)?
It is weird to people when they see you with it. To most Westerners it seems as something that is somewhat backwards.
Covering your hair and excessively covering every part of your body is viewed as strange and even repressive.
Western culture is much more sexual and religion is not nearly as important. Covering your hair to show modesty is interpreted as a weird way to show modesty and an archaic method that is outdated.
That is why they ask you those weird questions.
I know it must be hard for you sis, but stay strong and patient
I would answer as you have been - politely
i know it's tempting to respond with a silly answer, to ignore them or be hostile..but Alhamdulillah you haven't been and if you want to dispel the lies about Islam and Muslims, i think we Muslims have to show good character and kindness to reflect our wonderful religion.. so Insha'Allah, just keep patient and keep explaining politely
the people that ask are just ignorant
think of it as your job to educate them =)
if their question seems to be of genuine curiosity. then go ahead and respond. but if they're just throwing the question out to be insulting. then simply ignore them. cuz you'll only get another insulting question.
Don't Feed The Trolls
dont answer the questions which insult the hijab, but if they ask u why u wear it then answer a proper answer which if u want find then ask another question here
If people ask a stupid question I say give em a stupid answer to show them how silly they are.
Q: Are you bald under there?
A: Why yes I am! I shine my head with coconut oil everyday before I put on my hijab!
well some people are brainless
yea people ask me a bunch of questions.
why do you wear it?
If you took it off what would your parents do?
do you sleep with it?
do you have to wear it next to your family?
aren't you hot wearing it?
are you bald?
are you going to take it off on prom?
etc....
well the only thing you can do is answer the question in a politely way. but if they just keep asking you and just trying to mess with you then you can tell them to SHUT UP! and if they want to learn more things on why we Muslim girls wear hijab they can go to the internet and research about it.

I Am An Overweight Teenager In Search of Advice?
I am 17 years old, 5'8', and weigh 210 lbs. I have this weird phobia about working out in front of people or going out into public places in general. And I am also selfconsious about being in my house with a gorgeous mother and her mini twin, my little sister. I also have been getting bullied for my size ever since I was 4 years old and I am getting really sick of it. I know dieting and working out are the best things, it's just I once I get into it, I break the curve of it about a week or two into it. I have tried the Atkins diet for two months and I lost 20 lbs. but I just ended up gaining back the weight I lost. My house isn't to diet friendly either. My little sister is literally the size of a stick and eats really fattening foods, which my mother, who looks like a Victoria Secrets model, does nothing about changing her ways and buys her whatever she would like. Any way, I would really appreciate all the help I could get. ^_^I Am An Overweight Teenager In Search of Advice?
First check out what diet helps lose weight based on your blood group and what diet is really good for your health .
Use Olive oil for cooking that would reduce cholestrol .

I Am An Overweight Teenager In Search of Advice?
One of the biggest mistakes that dieters make is keeping ';danger foods'; in their house. By not having easy access to junk food, it's harder to get a hold of it and binge on it after dieters deprive themselves for a while. This being said, it's imperative that you talk to your mother about this. Discuss your efforts to lose weight and feel healthy and more confident. If you talk to her in a rational and calm manner, she should listen and cut out the junk from the house. Plus your twiggy sis is probably enjoying her high child metabolism, so warn her about getting her used to all the fattening food. When she gets older, her bad eating habits will take a toll on her.
After you get this situation straightened out, go shopping with your mom for healthy food. Stock up on whole wheat bread, wholesome snacks, veggies, fruits, and lean cuts of meat. I know salads sound incredibly diet cliche, but it's true, salads are one of the keys to weight loss. Trust me, I've found that salads are not only an easy way to get your servings of veggies, but their quite filling if you make them right. Add grilled chicken and beans to it, and top it with a spray dressing (oily ones have far more calories and I've found that the spray ones taste better too).
Don't skip breakfast! Or any meals for that matter. Eating consistently will boost your metabolism and keep you from overeating the rest of the day. For breakfast I love having whole wheat cereal with fruit or a piece of whole grain toast topped with low fat cottage cheese and blueberries. Here's another tip: if you like cereal, learn to like soy milk or almond milk! Both of these options carry less fat, sugar, and calories than cow's milk. And they usually have just as much nutrients like calcium as regular milk. Plus non dairy milk is yummy.
If you get hungry between meals, have a light snack. I like fruit because the natural sugars keep my energy level up and they usually have a low glycemic load, so you won't have to worry about burning out or worsening cravings. Light yogurts and low-fat string cheese are other good options. An apple spread with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Cheese is great.
And plus don't turn to a fad diet. They usually end up backfiring, and most people end up gaining back the weight, and more weight than before. You can't follow a fad diet forever, so when you're working toward your weight goal, think ';I want to change my eating habits for good, not diet.'; The key is balance and depriving yourself too much only worsens cravings for that food group or item. When you lose the weight or on the right track, and you come across a big craving, just satisfy it. If you eat healthily 90% of the time, a cookie won't put on the weight back, don't worry :)
Other tips:
If you hit a sugar craving, try chomping on a piece of sugarless gum.
I like drinking a cup of green tea after lunch. It gives me a good, but not too heavy burst of caffeine for energy. Also, it's packed with antioxidants and many studies suggest that it has fat burning and metabolism boosting properties.
Keep a food journal. Write down what you eat and what time you ate it at. You might also want to write down your feeling and emotions when you start losing motivation.
Take a multivitamin everyday!
I know exactly where your coming from! I too was always overweight when I was growing up..I never got attention from anyone it was always my sister whose a year younger then me..she's pretty thin and shows it off she loves attention and she always gets it..(people say she can be a model) but anyways I was in high school about 11th grade when one day I just decided to change! I was tired of being the fat girl or whatever else people said! To be honest one reason for my change was a boy I had known since middle school that I was in love with said he worked out etc..so I started working out in my room I would literally lock the door and tell no one to bother me til I came out..I started doing squats, crunches and using dumbbells that I had had forever..I got exercising moves off the internet and from magazines..when I was working out id watch tv and the time would pass by so fast it distracted me...my sisters and I loved to walk around the block so I walked a lot then too. I think that's how I lost so much weight simply walking...I didn't weigh myself ever the whole time I was doing it..I didn't really think about anything as far as long term I was just living in the now moment..I had this ugly picture of me I taped to the wall and everytime I wanted to give up id just stare at it and talk to myself...I ate as I normally did I just cut back on how much and drank diet soda and water..eventually I did it in only a few months I went from a size 16 to a 7 and 5! Let me tell you shopping was fun again! I loved the new me I had more energy I started getting noticed more from guys and other people..my senior year everyone was saying my sister and I looked like twins! And I was wearing her clothes! BUT after graduation I got pregnant and gained 50lbs! Im back to where I was in the beginning I plan to lose 50lbs by next summer! I've been dieting and exercising for almost 5 weeks now..and I see and feel a difference..I can wear a medium in shirts instead of large and extra large my legs are thinning out and my hips aren't so big lol..my stomach there's not a whole lotta difference there but there is some...I still feel I wanna give up sometimes but I don't I keep telling myself im doing it for me and my daughter! And for motivation I put up in the basement my old clothes and my ';skinny'; photos..I wanna get that girl back and I will and im completely motivated and ready to do this...the trick is to eat less and burn more so just cut back on portion size and foods you know aren't healthy, drink lots of water I don't even drink diet soda I have tea occassionally...find some place where you have privacy and start off with small exercises and work your way up..or take a long walk you don't even have to run or power walk...walk around the path at the park or a few times around the block or your area..if your in your room jog in place..don't over do it you just have to be consistent in it do 20 min 1 week then 30 the next and keep going up and mix up your exercises honestly walking is my thing I do it for at least 30 min to an hour a day..just believe in yourself and have faith and don't think of it as a diet that always screws us up..just consciously watch what you eat..you can do it I've done it once and im doing it again..if you want don't tell anyone your working out..you'll have the pleasure of seeing the looks on their faces when you succeed! Besides people can get u down my cousin and I are like sisters she hasn't lost anything and she doesn't say anything when I tell her what I've accomplished and I try to motivate her saying she can do it too....losing weight is possible! Its not easy and it doesn't happen over night...but it can be achieved don't rush it give it time and eventually you'll see a new you in the mirror! If you want to talk or you have questions, anything email me.Good luck!
I can picture just what you're talking about. My best friend was in the same boat...surrounded by ';beautiful people'; while she fought the battle every day--sometimes successful and sometimes not.
My best suggestion is that you spend the next year eating healthy. There's no reason to do anything super drastic and complicated. The year is going to pass by regardless, right? The only difference is what you do with the year and how you look and feel once it's over. One reason that you're having such a tough time being consistently good is because diets are hard to stick to. So, forget diets for now, and just focus on eating healthy. This page can help:
http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/eat-鈥?/a>
Keep a food and exercise log. Research shows that people who keep these logs stay on their diets longer and lose twice as much weight as those who don't use them. It really helps you be aware of what you're eating. You can print them out for free on the page above.
So, do that at first. Make healthier choices. Make a new change each week (but keep the ones from the week before). For example, week one give up fast food. Week 2, give up fast food and snacking after dinner. Week 3, do those two things plus drink lots of water. Week 4, give up fried foods. Week 5, add 30 minutes of walking each day. Week 6, start eating half-portions. You get the idea...
Never weigh more than once a week. Weigh the same day each week at the same approx. time, wearing the same thing. Ideally, it would be first thing in the morning before getting dressed--no more than once a week. Your body has too many natural fluctuations to weigh every day--it will get too frustrating.
If you need some motivational inspiration, the same site has about 4-5 pages of motivational ideas. Basically, you need to wake up each day and remind yourself why you want this so badly. It needs to be always in the forefront of your mind so that you don't rationalize being bad on a whim. I lost 85 pounds five years ago on Weight Watchers and I can tell you that during that year that it took to get the weight off, I had to give myself pep talks constantly. You have to always think before you eat! You have to actually give yourself the time to rationalize the right decision instead of taking the easy way out...
When you're ready, the biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout. You will want to make sure you do a good 30 minute cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health). Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively. Think in terms of power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks. To make sure that you're burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training. This page has some great target exercises that you can do at home, without special equipment:
http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/targ鈥?/a>
Since you won't be on a ';formal'; diet, you won't feel deprived and be tempted to go off the diet! If you slip and eat something ';bad'; then just get right back on the healthy eating wagon the next meal. Make more and more changes as you feel stronger and more in control. Those changes will add up to big drops on the scale! Good luck!

Besides people can get u down my cousin and I are like sisters she hasn't lost anything and she doesn't say anything when I tell her what I've accomplished and I try to motivate her saying she can do it too....losing weight is possible! Its not easy and it doesn't happen over night...but it can be achieved don't rush it give it time and eventually you'll see a new you in the mirror! If you want to talk or you have questions, anything email me.Good luck!
I can picture just what you're talking about. My best friend was in the same boat...surrounded by ';beautiful people'; while she fought the battle every day--sometimes successful and sometimes not.
My best suggestion is that you spend the next year eating healthy. There's no reason to do anything super drastic and complicated. The year is going to pass by regardless, right? The only difference is what you do with the year and how you look and feel once it's over. One reason that you're having such a tough time being consistently good is because diets are hard to stick to. So, forget diets for now, and just focus on eating healthy. This page can help:
http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/eat-鈥?/a>
Keep a food and exercise log. Research shows that people who keep these logs stay on their diets longer and lose twice as much weight as those who don't use them. It really helps you be aware of what you're eating. You can print them out for free on the page above.
So, do that at first. Make healthier choices. Make a new change each week (but keep the ones from the week before). For example, week one give up fast food. Week 2, give up fast food and snacking after dinner. Week 3, do those two things plus drink lots of water. Week 4, give up fried foods. Week 5, add 30 minutes of walking each day. Week 6, start eating half-portions. You get the idea...
Never weigh more than once a week. Weigh the same day each week at the same approx. time, wearing the same thing. Ideally, it would be first thing in the morning before getting dressed--no more than once a week. Your body has too many natural fluctuations to weigh every day--it will get too frustrating.
If you need some motivational inspiration, the same site has about 4-5 pages of motivational ideas. Basically, you need to wake up each day and remind yourself why you want this so badly. It needs to be always in the forefront of your mind so that you don't rationalize being bad on a whim. I lost 85 pounds five years ago on Weight Watchers and I can tell you that during that year that it took to get the weight off, I had to give myself pep talks constantly. You have to always think before you eat! You have to actually give yourself the time to rationalize the right decision instead of taking the easy way out...
When you're ready, the biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout. You will want to make sure you do a good 30 minute cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health). Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively. Think in terms of power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks. To make sure that you're burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training. This page has some great target exercises that you can do at home, without special equipment:

Since you won't be on a ';formal'; diet, you won't feel deprived and be tempted to go off the diet! If you slip and eat something ';bad'; then just get right back on the healthy eating wagon the next meal. Make more and more changes as you feel stronger and more in control. Those changes will add up to big drops on the scale! Good luck!

Life advice for a teenager?
Be true to yourself, and don't try to please anybody else.
Edit: Most everyone has given great advice....try to follow it!!
Best of luck to you...just be smart!!Life advice for a teenager?
hugz not drugs
don't say i love you to some boy u just met
when you're fifteen, and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them, but try oh so hard not to
you'll do greater things than dating the boy on the football team
don't look to far into the future, live life in the moment
yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, so live life in the moment
boyfriends come and go, but friends are here to stay
best friends are god's way of apologizing for family
just make sure that you do well in school and make your future. you're the one that makes you destiny, so make it the way you wanna. anything in life is possible through determination.
and in your life, you;ll have many smiles and tears and regrets. you cant change you're past, but you can change you're future. you hold the future. make it yours. and just go out there and face the world.
%26lt;3%26lt;3%26lt;3%26lt;3 does that help??Life advice for a teenager?
Be yourself. Even if you don't know quite who that is just yet.
Take chances. Don't let fear get in the way of ceasing an opportunity or taking a risk that could make you happy/really change you/your life.
Find a friend or two who you can trust (if you don't already have one), who you can lean on and who can lean on you through the crazy years.
And stay above the influence. ^.^
Try to wait until you're married until you have sex. It makes it more special. Don't do drugs...it's the gateway to many years of sorrow. Try to enjoy life the most you can because once you're 18 things change. Focus on school.....down the road that knowledge will come in handy. That's about it.....try not to get hung up on people picking at you because five years after you graduate you won't remember anyone lol :).
patience is your best friend
you have time to wait for everything
people who pressure you into doing something you don't want to do are not your friends
listen to your parents and any trusted adult
they have good advice although it sucks at the time
try to have fun and learn who you are
Stay in school, use a condom, don't do drugs, don't get in the car with a drunk driver. All good advice I didn't follow and wish I did now.
don't give in to peer pressure
what you think was so bad, it really isn't in a couple years you'll might laugh about
If you get drunk and bang some sleazy guy, don't get your friends, tell your gynecologist.
Live your life, don't do drugs, stay away from bad guys, do good in school, and have fun!
go to uni, dont get married until you are like 30, dont have kids by accident. if you are going to do drugs, be sensible with it. wear a seatbelt.
Buy as much Silver as you can get and save it for one year !
Always persevere, even when times are tough.
Well.....pay attention.... be considerate....see the cup as half full rather than half empty .....tell the truth ....smile a lot ..... enjoy humor ..... and speak in good faith .....
Focus on school. You have plenty of time for relationships later.
always use protection during sex...
keep a knife with you just in case
Be confident and don't let others bring you down :)
Oh yeah....and always use a condom =D
you don't need. just live your life. advice can wait.
