Everyone tells me I snore. I think I even keep my dog up at night. How can I stop?


 
Loud, frequent snoring can definitely be a nighttime annoyance, but it could also be a serious health issue. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, one percent of kids who snore suffer from sleep and breathing problems. If you struggle to breathe while snoring, you might have Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). If this is the case, see your doctor ASAP. Otherwise, Dr. Martin McVeigh of Atlanta says to restore peace and quiet by making some simple changes—sleep on your side instead of your back, or use a humidifier. Surgery might also help by removing tonsils and adenoids that prevent proper breathing.

i have a huge prob! my bff's birthday party is the same night as my school dance!!! what can i do???it's a sleepover party for the peeps that can spend the night, so should i just go to the dance then come over to spend the night? HELP!

 

Hey babes , i would go to the full party, its your BFF! There will be other dances. xo JANA

nirvanaluver on 10/8/2008 7:49:16 PM

*****************mod******************************or two then i'll get down to the perfect little size,then i won't exercise for like 2-3 days and i'll have a pot belly! is something wrong with me?is there any way i can just rest for a few days with out having those horrible consequences?

 

Hey babes, exercise has to be habitual, the affects are permanent. I wouldnt think its a huge deal though, it will just make you worry about something that isnt a hgue deal. xo JANA

i have liked this guy for 5 years..since 4th grade. we went to different grade schools but now we r in the same high school. i really want to talk to him to get to know him more but im shy and idk what to say to him. what could i do to overcome my fears?

Come up with convo topics before you talk to him.  Open ended questions are good because it gets him talking about his favorite topic- himself! -lauren

OMG!!!!!! MY CRUSH ASKED ME OUT THE OTHER DAY!!!!!!!

cjlizzy on 10/8/2008 9:48:06 PM

*********MOD*********
today in art we were just sitting there working on our project. i sit next to my bff in that class. anyways, we were working for a while when all of a sudden she just stopped and her eyes got huge. so i asked her what was wrong and she told me that she thought she had just started her period, but it was like a week early so she wasnt prepared. she asked me if i had a tampon, but i didnt happen to have my purse with me today. so when the teacher came by to see how our work was going, she got out her pass book and asked the teacher if she could go to her locker (in the other building). the teacher kind of looked at her for a minute and then sat down at our table with us. then she kinda leaned in and asked her if she had her period, because if so, she wouldnt take a pass from her. so my bff ( who was incredibly uncomfortable) nodded and the teacher let her go. is this like sexual harassment or something if a teacher were to ask you that?
PLEASE ANSWER!!!! thanks

Hey girl, you teacher didn't mean anything sexual by that.  I'm sorry it made you guys uncomfortable.  If it happens again, then maybe tell a parent or trusted adult about it. -lauren

hey i need some help. well one of my guy friends sent me an email asking me if i want to go to a christian concert with him a couple weeks from now and that i can bring a friend. so i sent him an email back saying that i would ask my parents and that that sounded fun. i also emailed my friend taylor and asked her if she wants to go cuz it would be really uncomfortable with just me and him. there's not really much of a prob here i just want your see on this. do u think he means it as a date or just hanging out? cuz we dont hang out very much we just...idk just talk at skool and he always says that i flirt with him which i try not to cuz i always do that accidently with guys! i don't think i will want to go if none of my friends go with me!!! but i dont want to hurt him either. he's a good friend ps~this is the first time a guy has asked me to do anything with him outside of skool. help!!!!!

this♥little♥girl on 10/9/2008 11:19:49 AM

hey girl!! when i was younger i used to snore really loud and i had trouble breathing. so my parents took me to the doctors and i foind ut i had to get my tonsils out. if you would have to do this it wouldnt be that big of a deal! i did it and all that happens is that they put you to sleep, you wake up and your throats sore and you get to eat a lot of ice cream and apple sauce!!

I would just ask some guy that you think is [at least] semi-cute to dance.. i mean.. if you have to dance with someone.. &* you def. don't want to be hanging out in the back of the room watching everyone else dance the night away when you're worrying about dancing with 1 guy. trust me.. i go throught the same thing at dances..
.. like the Nike(c) logal: "Just Do It". (:

hope i can help. :]

Hey Girl, just make sure your tip is sharpened to a fine point or your using a skinny smooth brush for a thin line. *Cara T*
