Yeah, it’s cool if you don’t mind being on welfare, living off hard working people who actually plan their lives. Also cool because at 14, you really only care about yourself and babies don’t need much attention or caring. I think it’s also…

Do u think it is bad to be pregnant at 14?

I think it’s stupid to plan on getting pregnant at 14, for these reasons: 1. You can’t drive, so you would have to depend on someone else to get you and the baby to appointments, the grocery store, etc. 2. You can’t legally get a job, so yo…

I’m 14 weeks pregnant and craving mexican chili candy bad! Do you know where I can get some that is made in US

Q: I just went to one of my prenatal check-ups yesterday and I asked my doctor if it was safe to have the mexican chili candies (since it has been known that many carry lead and could be harmful). There was a poster in the waiting room with a picture of each of the mexican candies that should be avoided and I knew of some really good ones that weren’t on the poster. For example the original Lucas chili candy (the powder in a yellow container) was on the poster, but the Baby Lucas (in different packaging) wasn’t on the poster and it is newer so I thought they found a different way to make the candy without lead. I’m craving any kind of mexican chili powder candy so bad and it’s driving me crazy!!!! Well my doctor said that any candy made in Mexico is off-limits for me, but if I find the same kind of mexican candy that is made here in the USA, then it should be fine. I have no idea where they would carry Mexican chili powder candy that is made in the USA. Any suggestions?? I’m desperate!Of course I wouldn’t do anything to risk harm to my baby, so I won’t have anything that my doctor tells me not to. It’s just amazing how powerful cravings are sometimes. I just really hope I can somehow satisfy this crazy craving and be safe at the same time. Otherwise I will just have to keep craving it with no solution. 🙁 Help!

A: Well try this,I’m not sure if they have Food City’s where you live,but it’s a Latino food market.And I’m sure they have an isle dedicated to the candy.So you’ll have a varying selection to choose from.

What can I do with bad 14 year old sisters?

Q: I’m 18 and my sisters are 14 (twins). They do everything together and are in 8th grade. Our dad is oblivious to whats going on. I try to tell him whats going on but he says there’s nothing he can do. My sisters made a friend and she’s a really bad influence and they’ve become copycats of her. My sisters hang out with her and stay overnight at her house every weekend and are not monitored whatsoever. Their friends mom wants to be their friend more than anything and she takes them to a boys house and to the mall and she just drops them off. She doesn’t ask questions except she asks if they had fun. Then she lies to our dad and tells him that they stayed at her house and watched movies the whole time. She lies to our dad and says they were good and there were no boys there, she tells him what he wants to hear, just so my sisters can still go to her house and sleep over and just so they will like her. My sisters friend drinks and smokes weed and she’s proud of it, now my sisters want to do that too, when before, even months ago, they thought that was so bad to do and said they’d never do it. What can I do to prevent them from trying weed and being like her. They are suckers of the worst kind for peer pressure. Also, one of my two sisters thinks everyone dates lots of guys and everyone is having sex, now she wants to really bad, when she never wanted to before. She’s had 3 “boyfriends” in the last month and says that’s normal that everyone else at school does that too. I’m only four years older but is this true. I dont remember 8th grade being so much about sex and drinking/smoking weed. I share this information with our dad but he says theres nothing he can do, it seems like he doesnt care or that he doesnt want to make them mad at him. So what can I do? I dont want them to try smoking weed, or drink, or get pregnant. I’ve talked to them about my concerns but now they just are getting worse and dont trust me. I saw too much that i didnt want to, but i found out A LOT on their myspace pages. It sucks. I’m feeling way too stressed out worrying and hoping they don’t do any of that. HELP!!!

A: Sounds like you are the smartest in the fam. If your sibling (s) is (are) out being crazy, moms and pops are slipping on parenthood and you’re being coerced into a parental position, ala America, these days. Get some pic’s of people before and after using drugs to show to them as a deterrent. Don’t forget to offer an example of a flat belly and then a belly that will have a 14 pound big’n in’m. You sound like a good brother. Good luck.

A: I’m terribly sorry to read about your situation. This is a heartbreaking story to read of a young person with their whole life ahead of them. I think I can see how you became a person who does things which are not legal, safe, destructive, and sad. You are an abused child. How on earth could you be expected to grow up emotionally healthy. You are practically screaming to be helped, heard, and loved. Your parents did not raise you with love and a sense of safety. If you dad is addicted to drugs, you have no stability or sense of normalcy. Your mom apparently also has problems, and your brother sounds to be in worse condition. I wonder if there is additional mental illness going on beyond addiction to drugs. I assume you have seen a psychiatrist, and I hope some person like a social worker has seen your family members to see your living conditions. If you do have another problem, such as bipolar disorder (which can cause impulsive destructive problems such as lying, using drugs, having inappropriate sex, and then being depressed) this may be the reason you aren’t getting better. I find it hard to believe,since you are a child, you are not receiving any mental health help. You should have a therapist at the least. I also think you will be better off away from your family for now. Home is supposed to be a safe place, and your home is not safe. Parents are supposed to love and nurture their children, yet you have no received either. Your friends don’t sound safe. You don’t sound safe. And you are hurting yourself as a coping mechanism to deal with all of this pain. Relationships,healthy ones especially, are going to be very hard for you. You have no example of a healthy relationship. You probably have severe problems trusting, and would rather risk hurting others than being hurt yourself again. This is a horrible way to live. If somehow you can hang on, and start to believe in yourself – and I can see how truly bright you are, despite all the nasty comments from your family, you can have a better life. I am certain there are talents you have – *legal and ethical* talents, and you can develop those skills to have a career – a real paying job, and a way out of the hell hole you are living in. This will not happen overnight. It’s going to take some time, because you are young (and contrary to what today’s adults seem to be saying to kids today) and you need to get through high school. Please ask to be tested for learning disabilities as well. I have a hunch something may be going on which is causing you to struggle in school. Drugs, you have to stop. There is no choice. It’s a dead end, and you deserve to have a better life than you have right now. The only way this is going to happen is by being clean and sober. This means street drugs and cough medicine. Things which are not healthy to your mind and body will destroy your ability to have a better life.I can only imagine how hard this road is going to be for you. There is hope and a better future out there. You are beautiful, regardless of all the negative words spewed at you. What you have done in the past is not pretty, but those were your actions, and not you as a person. You can change your life. You have the power to start today. You have my best wishes.
