  • Is it possible for somebody to not wake up from unconsciousness / coma simply because they don t want to?

    Say for example someone had a bad accent like a car crash or falling from a great height and somehow managed to survive but was unconscious or in a coma or even something "simpler" such as not wakened from a seizure, would it be possible for a person not to wake up simply because they don t want to even after their brain returns to normal ( no swelling etc ) ? I don t know how else to explain but if it helps think of the NCIS episode where Gibbs is in a coma after a bomb on a ship ( hiatus is the name of the double episode, season 4 finale ( maybe season 3)) would it be possible to have a psychological reason for not waking up instead of a physical one ? Thanks in advance !

  • How to do a handstand without flipping?

    Ok so this might sound silly at first but basically I can do a handstand but when I kick up I can t keep in. The hand stand position. Let me explain a bit better. I can do a handstand and support my weight on my hands but I can t stay in the air I always end up going from feet to hands to feet in the way that when you do a cartwheel your legs rotate over your head, that s what happens when I do a handstand. I can do them against walls and support myself for a few minutes so I don t get. Why I can t stay like upside down without flipping over? How do I do that?

  • become a navy reservist while in 5th year?

    ok so im 16 which is the age you need to be before applying to join the rnr. i live in scotland and am sitting highers this year ( spanish , french , maths, english , biology and chemistry if you are wondering) and am considering joining the navy reserves. what is your opinion i know it is pretty out there but i am currently a straight a student and am aiming for A * in all exams and the dux ( ambitious i know but we all have goals) i have wanted to join the forces since i was 2 ( preferably raf but navy is just as good) most of my family have been in the military including my dad and we moved to cyprus for a period of time so i am aware of the sacrifices i know you need to dedicate 24 days a year and i am aware of the physical and medical tests you need to pass ( i qualify for both as i am capable of the physical challenges) but i would complete the 8 week training

    beforehand as a safety measure. i wouldn't be deployed. i don't support war, personally i think armys should be within a countrys border to protect against invasion , not to invade. whta are the pros and cons and could you give your own thoughts incase there is something I missed ( which I probably did). and no war is bad crap i know that and please don't call me stupid i am just considering it and haven't actually committed already but i am seriously thinking about it. thanks in advance

  • why is homosexuality a sin?

    Like really can someone explain why? Before you start I have read the bible but it still doesn't make sense? What makes it a sin? Why is it wrong? Like murder is pretty obvious - you are taking away someone's life but could someone please analyse it like what I did with murder? It doesn't cause pain so I really don't understand? Also could you explain why male + female is acceptable but male and male or female and female isnt? I'm not being smart I am genuinely asking the reason it is wrong besides it being written in a book?

  • I think I have epilepsy?

    So like I said I think I have epilepsy, last year I was diagnosed with non epileptic attack disorder but over the last 2 weeks my seizures have changed: I normally only have prolonged myoclonic seizures ( thr one where one of your limbs start shaking expect mine last for 2 hours instead of 30 seconds) but now I have started having tonic clonic or grand mal ( the name changed so I don't know what to call it) quite frequently ( one a day at least and during my sleep as well) but even my senses have changed the only thing that tastes or smells like it should is chicken pot noodle and lynx Africa and I know also have difficulty talking and even after the big seizure ( the grand mal or tonic clonic) I am like a 5 year old ( I'm fifteen but will happily watch bob the builder, cebebies or play dinosaurs or pirates I still remember how to do my school work but can never focus for long enough like today in biology there was text book work with a diagram of a cell and I thought it looked like a smiley sun with freckles ( it was a burst cell) but my mind thinks it's five basically, I think I have either been misdiagnosed or also have epilepsy so what do I do?

  • translate into german help? please?

    Hi so I have to write a german essay about my school and I don't have a german dictionary or a textbook to help translate so could someone please translate and btw Google translate isn't working properly.

    I study nine subjects, including biology, English and Spanish. My favourite subject is chemistry because it is challenging and you always have to use your brain. I am good at maths and biology. I don't like English as much as I like my other subjects.

    The school has good facilities. There is a large library, a swimming pool, four science laboratories and dozens of class rooms. The library is round and has some computers and laptops. We sometimes go there to do research if it is a small class but we can also go to one of the computer suites. The swimming pool is used for gym class and is rented out to other clubs and organisations outside of school hours. We use the science laboratories on a regular basis to complete experiments but only if we are supervised by a teacher.

    The school uniform is either a polo shirt and school jumper or shirt and tie with black trousers or skirt and black shoes. We are not allowed to eat or drink in class, unless it is water. We aren't allowed to use phones or mp3 players. We must turn up for school on time at half past eight and be polite and respectful to the staff and other students.

    Ok there might be a lot of reading but it is really important please just help. Hi I'm fifteen and live in Edinburgh. I moved house about a month and a half ago with my mum, her boyfriend, my aunt and cousins. It is my aunt kicked my mum's boyfriend out because they had a really big argument so he moved to London and my mum followed him and left me with my aunt ( I wanted to stay) I don't want to move from Edinburgh because I have lived here most of my life I am in fourth year at school which is a really important year and I would miss my friends too much ( don't say I will make more, I'm not moving! ) my aunt is happy for me to live with her ( I have all of my life) I don't know my dad so I can't move in with him. My question is what would happen if my mum tried to take me out of school during lunch or break and take me down to London and how can I stop her from making me move? Also what are my rights?
