Archive for the ‘Benefits of quitting smoking’ Category

well we all heard that eating unhealty or not exercising can make a person weak, thats me! im 18 and im skinny but im out of it

what can i do to glow more from the inside? i also want to be well focused in class

anything, from eating right, eating at the right time, to exercising, what can i do?

right now i will tell you that i do not exercise at all, like if i tried to run right now i would have to keep my back straight to not sprain it (lack of streaching) and i do not eat in the morning, and when i do it its after 2 and its junk food and i keep craving more, i do NOT drink soda, but i dont drink a lot of water, i wash my face everyday so im clean on that

i do masturbate everyday and dont shower for days so i feel dirty and smelly (although im assuming no one has a clue) and thatcontributes to why i feel so dull and gray

i want to shine! i want to wake up with a smile on my face wanting to go to school. i dont have much friends (im getting there) and ive never had a girlfriend so i need extra encouragement.

im a happy guy but i have my days-week (which are very bad)

i know listening to what you guys say will make me more awake and ready and it will actually help my grade in college

no smoking (very little and im quiting)

someone told me to walk in the morning and eat breakfast and you will be amazed about awake your brain will be for school…i want to hear advice like that

basically i want to feel like im at the top of the world

First off, walking or biking to school would make you feel fantastic for your first class of the day. Also I would suggest juicing or making smoothies in the morning. You say you don’t shower much, but doing so in the AM might motivate you to do so. (Sometimes I have trouble showering myself). Also, start off your day with at least one full glass of water.

Start cooking/packing your own lunch. Learning to cook– it’s easy to Google "healthy recipes" or "fast healthy recipes". Make sure you get lots of veggies. I would suggest a mostly vegetarian plus fish diet. Chicken a few times a week, red meat a few times a month. Veggies + Fish = AWESOME.

Take some vitamins. If not multivitamins, at least do a B-Complex. I take mine at night next to my toothbrush so I don’t forget.

Take a yoga class. Start stretching and if your school has a gym, force yourself at least 20 minutes of cardio 3 times a week. Lifting makes you feel pretty awesome, too.

Masturbating = GOOD… keep doing it.

Get a water bottle (16oz at least) and drink it in class. This will help keep you awake as you’ll have to pee a lot.

GL in your quest!

I’ve been smoking cannabis for about 2 years now…daily…..and i know its pretty bad. but i dont feel like quiting…like i dont see anything wrong with it. i still get good grades and i ballroom dance….so its not like im stoned 24/7 in front of the tv. but lots of people give me beef about it (like classmates, grandma, etc…).
and i like doing it. i have no intentions of stopping until after college. and it makes me look forward to getting out of bed….sometimes its the only motivation to get me out of bed for my 7:30am class.
but it annoys me how some people dont leave me alone.
what should i do? any words of wisdom fellow teens?

also, a tiny survey.

Perhaps you should put some thought into what is wrong with your life, if the only thing that gets you motivated to get out of bed in the morning is drugs.

My girlfriends is a Jehovah’s Witness… What should I do?
I’m 18 years old and she’s 17. So yeah, were still in high school. I’m not very religious but I know she is extremely involved with her religion (Jehovah’s Witness). She put up a lot of rules in our relationship. None of which I mind. She won’t have any type of sex until marriage, (which I’m okay with), we can’t have a public relationship… not even at school. We always have to sneak around because she has crazy parents, and we can’t do anything that might compromise her faith. When I first asked her out on a date she said she couldn’t because she didn’t date. I thought about that for a while and I asked her if she just wouldn’t date me (due to my reputation). Over time I guess we sort of fell for each other. We both come from really messed up families and stuff so we were like a comfort for each other. Her mom, father, half sister, step brother, and step dad all abuse her. She is a wonderful girl and I love her. I just don’t know what to do because i’m not used to this. My old reputation was the, "bad boy" so to speak. Always fighting, gangs, etc. No more though. She changed me and I feel I’m being selfish because she’s always worried we might get caught (even though we really don’t do anything) and she might get dis-fellowshiped. The reason I feel selfish though is because I refuse to let her go even though I know I’m probably adding stress to her hell of a life. I asked her why she was with me and she said, "because your the only thing worth living for". She told me that if it wasn’t for Jehovah she would have been in juvie… then she said that if it wasn’t for me… she still would be cutting. (I made her quit in exchange for my quiting smoking, swearing, fighting and a whole lot of other things.) It’s hard for me because all my past relationships were based on sex. But I can just imagine how hard it is for her since she is risking everything for me. Friends, family, her corrugation. I just need to know what I should do. She said that things will get better after we go off to college away from everything. The funny thing is that I never knew her life was like this. She always seemed so perfect! With her 4.0 GPA and all of her extracurricular activities. Dang… I never thought it would be her to be just like me. I’m hispanic so I know her family will instantly hate me since they’re all racist. Well… not her of course. What should I do?

Additional Details
Not going to dump her, she’s not a brain washed idiot, and I know about her religion. I don’t agree with everything they say but neither does she.
What exactly is my heart telling me to do? My question is not what my heart wants me to do (cause my heart says to stay with her) but what should I do! We tried breaking up but it just didn’t work.
Ok so maybe I haven’t Been ad clear as I thought I ws being. I don’t have a problem with any of her views. If sh wants to have a private relationship until college and if she wants to remaine a virgin til marriage. That’s okay with me. My question is, what can I do to lower her stress from our relationship?

Obviously your "girlfriend" is NOT one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that if she attends meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses with her parents that it makes her one as well. That’s not quite how it works. For one thing, actual Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t go around dating people who don’t share our faith. The Bible’s direction is that we marry "only in the Lord", and even though you may not be looking to get married, we do view the process of dating as a logical step in that direction. So it wouldn’t make sense for a Witness to date a non-Witness, if they know that they can’t marry them.

I’m sorry dude, let her go if you can. The main focus of JW’s is to force their beliefs onto you, and become one of them. If you don’t get out, be prepared to listen to how everything should be done and what you should do/ believe in, for the rest of your life. Unless she plans on quitting this when going to college. Talk about it with her, and see what she wants to do in the future, then go from there. Has for you, become somebody, no stupid gang fighting crap, that’s half the reason this country is in shambles, is because we fight and kill each other over stupid reasons. Get yourself in school, get an education and go give yourself a reason to be proud.

Ok, I dont know if this is really healthy but I think not. When Im high on weed, I get the munchies, well I will eat my breakfast lunch and dinner, but I will eat a good amount when I eat breakfast lunch and dinner, but right after I will eat a desert or somthing more, and alot of times my breakfast lunch and dinner are only like 2 hours apart, but in all I will feel so full like it feels like there is no room in my stomach left and I will still eat. I know its because of weed, but Im not quiting smoking so what do you think what im doing when i eat is healthy or not and if there is a way to stop me from eating this much.

By not smoking the janga, doofus.
