Yeah, as others said. It's most probably "jaundice" \n\nSomeone has explained what jaundice is, previously. So yeah, i wont repeat.\n\nIt could be a sign of some form of liver problem or it could be benign. It's best to go to see the doctor about that if she is worried. Otherwise, wait for a few days and consult a doctor if it gets worse. \n\nAnd i hope she gets well soon. =)

yes, they will be able to tell almost exactly how long ago she used and they can definately tell any and all drugs she has used, however, she could use a clairifying shampoo to rid the hair of any evidence, and i hope she doesn't.

Trey\nYou totally need to tell your mom.\nThere is no way on the right or wrong way of telling your mom the problems you are dealing with in life.  \n\nOur parents are here to help, protect and love us.  I am a mom and I would want my girls to come to me for anything and everything.  \n\nEspecially if it has to do with drugs, eating disorders and self abuse.  There are reasons you are doing it and you can not handle all of these issues on your own.  You just cant.\n\nYou need to be flat out honest and tell you mom what is going on with you.  I believe you wouldnt be asking Yahoo Answers if you didnt want the help...right?\n\nGo to mom and say, "Mom...I love you and I need to talk to you about some things that have been going on in my life.  I need your help right now.  So please, what I am going to tell you, you might get mad at first, but I need your love and support right now."  And than tell her.  Tell her you experimented with pot and you are dealing with cutting and anorexic issues.\n\nYour life is to precious not to talk to someone.  If you really dont belive you can talk to your mom go to your school counsler or another responsable adult who you can trust to help you find the help you need.\n\nI also realize how bad you dont want to tell your mom.  But I really belive you need and should tell her what is going on.\n\nI would totally respect my girls and feel so apprecitive if they came to tell me they were pregnant, getting high or anything in life that they are trying to deal with on thier own.\n\nEven though you are 13 you still have alot of mental growing up to.  And I know at 13 you feel like you should be treated like an adult.  But there are many things in life 13 year olds just cant do yet because they arent mentally ready for it.\n\nGo to your mom,  and talk to her.  Tell her your exact feelings and be honest with her.  SHe will totally respect you for it and love you!

yea she had FOP. A rare genetic disorder that makes the bones in your body grow bones... Very sad and interesting. By the time she is a teenager, she won't be able to move at all.

Yes! Elderly people's systems are very fragil. Especially with all the drugs they usually take. Was there an autopsy? A blood panel will give you all your answers. If no autopsy - there is a way to check in a hair (hairbrush, etc) as to what chemicals, drugs, etc went into her body. Contact a forensic expert. They can help you! Good Luck!

Honestly it doesn't matter if she smokes as long as long as it doesn't affect her that much, I mean if she gets really easily winded or has lung cancer then yeah it matters. Height doesn't really matter much either. As for you training her, if you are not a professional wrestler how can YOU train her?, most likely there is some kind of wrestling school somewhere around where you live, get her REAL training, check the Internet for local schools, if she does not get proper training she could seriously injure herself or even worse someone else. Good Luck.

It is probably a combination of a lot of things. I am sure her immune system is low so her body is trying to boost it, and it is trying to use what little it has to fight the cancer. It is also a result of the cancer fighting her, cancer needs energy to grow just like anyother cell in your body. I am sure she is not eating as well as she should be and so she is not getting all the nutrients she needs, and that affects fatique as well, As does fear and depression, which comes with having cancer.\n\nShe should be taking supplements and trying to boost her immune system. If her doctor does not have any god suggestions find a nutritionist, natural doctor or alternative doctor, they are much better with supplements.\n\nI don't know what she is doing or not doing overall for treatment, but this is what I am doing for my mom.\n\nI know how you feel, my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer in May, they did radiation and chemo which got rid of the cancer in her lung and lymph nodes in and between her lungs. But, it had spread into her bones and several other lymph nodes, they did more radiation and chemo but she and was only given a few months to live, that was in mid-august. I could not accept losing my mom who is only 43 so I did a lot of research and found what I feel is her best hope. \n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my mother. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really inspiring. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There are 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life. The returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10, 18 even 28 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner that allows it to identify and fight the cancer. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation. When we got here she was on 75 mg of morphine a day plus 6ml of liquid morphine a day, now she rarely takes any morphine, and only occasionally takes Advil. Some of the pain she does get is associated with tumor kill, it happens to most patients as their immune system begins quickly destroying the cancer cells, it is a good thing.\n\nThere are a lot of "alternative" treatments out there worth looking into. I have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stori

I'm not old yet, but I would think that this is the way someone over 65 would think:\n\nshe talks to fast, her skirt is to short & her shirt is to low, her jeans are to tight & she needs to be a lady !

it takes time and if she's like 16 and still the same is happening then there might be a problem.

This person has nothing to gain by taking more than prescribed. I wouldn't go looking for sysmptoms, I see a symptom, the abuse, and it is a clear sign she needs to get honest with her doctor if she really wants to get better.

I think she is supposed to be about 23.  She is indeed pretty immature, and her emotional age may be somewhat below that.  I would guess that she comes from a broken family, or a family that was not very supportive or even abusive.  She is more enthralled with the concept and "Big Love" of this huge extended family, and finally being loved and accepted by lots of people than she is with the religious aspects of the family.\n\nI wouldn't be surprised if she's not particularily religious herself.  Her record collection and memento shortie rock tank-top that she threw away this week suggest that she may have been a pretty wild rock chick not so long ago, and treasures the memories of when she was popular and had lots of friends in high school.

Definitely not.  Keep an eye on your friend, because she may be heading toward the kind of thinking that leads to anorexia, the eating disorder where a young woman or teen girl of normal weight feels that she has no control over her life, and chooses dieting and over-exercising to control her body.  Accompanying this is a self-image that is always "fat", even though she may become rail-thin.  Another, related psyhchiatric illness is bulimia, where the young woman or teen girl will eat regular meals, but then secretly throws up so the nutrition is wasted.  I have had personal experience with this - a close friend had anorexia.  Let's hope your friend is not headed this way in her thinking.  If she is, she will need professional help a.s.a.p.

Her parents obviously aren't paying enough attention to where she is, what she's doing, or anything else. An 8 year old can't just walk into the gas station and buy a pack, someone has to be buying them for her. I can't stand parents who don't keep tabs on their kids. Sadly, she'll probably be the 14 year old pregnant girl with a drug problem.

A little known and forgotten fact: Marijuana wasn't illegal until the 1930's during Prohibition when booze was made illegal.\n\nBooze kills brain cells, where grass only puts them to sleep for awhile and relaxes the person.\n\nI say if she isn't pushing this onto others, then it should be her choice.  Only advise her that if she has too much in her possession,and gets caught is is still illegal.

Similar story myself with smoking and not listening to parent, so I think you are doing the right thing not going crazy, as it didnt work for me. I think maybe she may be smoking as she thinks it is cool and out of subtle peer pressure to fit in with friends.  Perhaps you could try bribery.  It is best to deal with it now so that she does not get addicted.  What is her weak spot, is she very concerned about her appearance? Cos you could talk about her ageing faster is she smokes.  I dont know as kids dont see themselves as ever getting old and they think they are immortal.  I would explain that young people can get lung cancer too and they can also get cancer of the tongue and mouth which is becoming more common, and this would be awful, and not glamarous at all.  I do think bribery may be the best option, I do sympathise, every parent wants to protect their children, if only they could learn from our mistakes. good luck.                 Also the other comment gave me an idea you could get her to exhale smoke out through a tissue, it will come out yellow and will give her an idea of how black her lungs will turn if she keeps smoking\n\nCould I add  that I dont think you should be buying her cigarettes (if you are), that is sanctioning it and you cant appear to be that in favour of it.      Maybe she doesn't even like smoking and it is all show.  My guess is like most kids she may not be inhaling smoke properly anyway - (lots of kids do grow out of this phase)                                        \n\nIf you want to stop smoking yourself I found Paul Mckennas hypnotheraphy dvd combined with 4 mg nicotine gum made it suprisingly easy to give up (you still need a bit of will power, but the dvd helps you forget as long as you listen to it for 1st week or 2 once a day.  I failed 1st time as I did not listen to it enough but 2nd time it worked brilliantly and that is after 14 years smoking.

It is a harsh penalty; I don't agree with it, but it is reality. Given that, any teenager (or adult who might want to later get educational loans) who smokes pot is knowingly taking that risk.
