I only remember parts of this poem and cannot find it online the parts I remember are

-...You'll surely be beat because you are the person against whom you compete

-...so heed not your opponent's name or game

-all athletes agree all that you are is what you must be

Sorry that's all I remember

My friends and I want to go on a double date (our parents say it's ok as long as we're back before 5) and we were wondering if we are allowed to pay for the alley and bowl alone. My parents can't drive us there because they are at work and we want to go on a Friday.

I have a guy friend, and even though we've known each other for a while, we only became friends this year. He told me he had a secret and that I was involved, but would not tell me what it was. Last night he sent me a text saying he loves me, and now I'm very confused. I like hanging out with him and we text 24/7, but I never saw this coming. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but it's impossible for me to imagine him liking me. I am going to see him tomorrow (Monday) and idk what to say. I don't want it to be awkward and I haven't texted him since we talked about his feelings. He says he doesn't know what he wants to do now that I know, and I just need some advice on what to say.

My mom is a doctor and thinks she knows everything there is about medicine. I get straight A's at school so I'm not looking for en excuse or anything, but it's hard for me to focus and I'm easily distracted. However, when I bring up the issue with my mom she says I caused this for myself and she will take away all of my electronics and not let me see friends if I'm diagnosed. I told her about my friend who has ADHD who got help and is now better, but she just says that help will not be permanent for her. How do I convince her to just take me for diagnosis?

I've done fasts before and this was a stupid mistake. I had some fish, bread and cookies today and yes I know it's a terrible idea. I've thrown up a little bit but my stomach feels terrible. I don't want to go to the emrgency room. What should I do?

I used to weigh 130-135 pounds. In the summer I did tennis 6 hours a day for two weeks at a camp which helped build muscle and lose weight. After that I went to the pool and tanned almost every day so I looked healthy. However, last winter I remember eating sweets and a ton of candy and fattening foods the entire season. Today is the last day of my 14 day fast. I now weigh 111 pounds. Don't worry, I'll probably gain 5 pounds back immediately as water weight. I walk 3-4 miles per day and on Saturdays do 1.5 hour dance class. I'll be starting tennis soon as well. Based on the muscle I may be gaining from these activities, how much should I weigh and can I eat things like white bread, grilled chicken or potatoes every day? I remember being kind of chubby, but not too much last year.

I have read that enriched flour white bread is bad. Sometimes I like a dinner roll, which I know is bad or one of those white breads from Mariano's. What is a good tasting, healthy, under 80 calorie bread?

Also what is good meat? I like bologna sometimes or chicken or homemade veal. However, I know this is bad for daily intake. What is a healthy meat or meat substitute?

Finally I like yougurt. I like the one in a rectangular box, forgot what it's called. It has a little compartment with additions like the key lime pie one of the coconut. What is a good tasty yougurt to try? Also what is a good tasting low calorie milk? I don't particularly enjoy it but sometimes I really want some. Any recommendations?

I have only done one fast before. It was originally planned for 5 days but I had vitamins on the first, so counting that day the fast was 6. Now I've planned a 14 day fast. I am on day 12 and supposed to break it on Monday the 23. I still want to eat at Thanksgiving, so that gives me 4 days to recover. I don't really like turke stuffing mashed potatoes cranberry sauce or pecan pie, but because of my fragile state, I hope I will be able to manage my calories. Also I've had weird feeling throughout the fast. Food smells great, but I can't imagine putting it in my mouth. Just yesterday I wasted some fast food, but not today. Also, I don't know what makes me happy anymore. Before I started the fast, food made me a little happy, but now I realize it's just an object and cannot make me as ecstatic as I thought it could. I get weird cravings, but I don't know what for. I keep wanting something like food but not food and I don't know what it is. Is this normal for a fast? Also should I break the fast sooner? I am currently at a weight of 113.6, and before starting the fast I was around 133-135 for a height of 5'8. At thanksgiving I still want to seem skinnier than usual, so the max would be 118 pounds I think. If I break the fast sooner and take it slow, how much weight will I gain by thanksgiving?

I've done a fast before. When I said I'd do it, no one really believed me so they said go ahead. When I completed it, my parents and family have been wary of me losing weight. I have 6 days to go and my mom has noticed by day one. I've told her I'm on an 800 cal diet which she shuns because she thinks it's unhealthy. My mom is still losing her baby weight, but she's not fat and around my height. We've always kinda been competing for best body and she may be jealous. My grandma is visiting and cooks high calorie meals like pierogi(I'm European) so I've told her I'm not eating meat or bread for the week. Still, how can I hide this? Can I pretend to eat without actually swallowing? Don't tell me it's unhealthy, I've done it before. My doctor said it was ok for a short time, but my family doesen't know how wonderful a fast feels because they've never tried. My mom will probably try to check my blood sugar later and if she does, I'm screwed. Good thing I'm afraid of needles.

Recently, I have been trying to reset Parental Controls on my internet. I figured out that my kid went into my computer while the Parental Controls ASUS was still on, and changed the password. I have heard that doing a factory reset can get my passcode and username to go back to default, so I can change it and set my parental controls. Obviously I can t use the website and he is on a trip to Greece from school. I need to reset my passcode now so my other son doesn t have access to watch movies at night as I have caught him doing it multiple times. How do I reset the router, as I can t find a reset button? There is a WPS button, but I don t know what it does.

This year I transferred to a new school (12 yrs old 7th grade). One of my new friends is having a birthday party sleepover at a hotel and she told me we would be swimming and I'm scared to go. The reason for this is because I have acne and a little overweight. Actually I'm only fatter in the thigh area, my stomach is thin and pulled in so my legs look weird next to it. I wasn't so worried about that though as for my acne. I have had acne since I was around 10. It started off mild a few here and there. Then at the end of 5th grade it got really bad. It stayed that way until this year. Last year and the year before that it was too horrible that I wore a lot of makeup. When it easened up over the summer because I was at camp and did tons of sports, I stopped wearing makeup. Also my classmates were used to it and we had tons of people with bad acne, so I didn't feel so bad. Then I transferred to the new school which I really love and at first my acne was good that it got really bad. Now over winter break, I just started using a light wash which helps take off the make-up and makes my acne better, and I also use Cetaphil moisturizer. Now my acne is really light, but I'm still scared not to wear makeup. I worry about what my classmates think and don't feel comfortable without something covering my face. I really love to go to the pool though and want to have fun. I've considered waterproof makeup, but I don't know how well it will work. I also don't want to lie to get out of this

I'm 12 years old and before you say I'm one of those rebellious kids, I'm not. I do my homework, I get A's in school, I play sports...etc. Anyways whenever I don't do what my mother asks right away or say something that she doesn't like, she takes away my phone, ipad, and pulls the plug on the internet. Sometimes I actually have to finish homework on my computer, and since there is no internet, I can't. She always comes up with these "arrangements" ways we can "work stuff out" which usually consists of me spending the whole day doing house work while she watches TV because she is "too tired." Practically she sleeps all day and when she wakes up she's in a crappy mood. My dad does nothing to stop her and when he sees that I'm right he just comes up with a lame excuse of why she's right. She calls me all these names in my language and when my dad comes she denies it. The only people that believe me live in another country, so that doesn't work. She just took away my internet, (I'm writing this from my health club) and it's blocked on a computer. Does anyone know what I can do? I think she acts like this because literally nobody likes her. She screams at everyone and tries to control my life. She yells insults and tells me I'm fat , when I think I'm just a little overweight, I'm 120 pounds, but I'm also super tall. Does anyone know what I can do to make her stop?
