ugh, they are very short. I have heard putting vaseline on them works. is there anything else I can do?

So I have this pimple and lately it has become engorged with puss. So anyways I have been applying a hot wash cloth to it for 30 minutes. The infection and puss seem to have come very close to the surface. Now I have a big white dot on my chin. So should I just wash it with an acne wash before bed? Should I try to pop it? Or should I just leave it alone?

So I have a habit that I have been trying to kick and I have been pretty successful. The habit was popping my zits. I haven't been doing it lately and its gone really well. But, last night I saw that a pimple had formed. I used some lemon juice and put it on, hoping it would clean away the blockage. It did and I washed it with xout, then went to bed. When I woke up, I saw that it was still pretty small and there was a small scab over it. I covered it up with a bit of makeup and went to school. I came home and saw that it was become engorged with puss or whatever. Thats the best way I can describe it, engorged with a little scab on top. So I used more lemon juice, hoping it would acidify the scab and get an escape root for the puss. Then I put xout on it. So what do I do now!? Iam thinking I should just leave it alone. Now the puss has built back up and it is engorged again. So should I just stop messing with it?

Here is a little history. My dad verbally and emotionally abused my brother and I during our childhood. My brother was also physically abused as a little boy. I was also hit a couple of times, but I wasn't as abused as my brother. (oh by the way, i am 16 and he is 20 today) They got divorced when I was 9. Anyways he had trouble in high school. He has such low self esteem and was a poor student, didn't have many friends, and got involved with marijuana and some low life friends. He got a car at 17. He has been in about 2 accidents, and has gotten into 2 others that involved him running into the posts in our driveway (stupid much?) Then he left a cig burning in his car one day and it started a fire. The front of the car is melted and he can't use it anymore. (wow, way to take a 9,000 dollar car and reduce to 0) After graduating HS, he went to college. He attended college for 2 semesters and we found out he flunked out of college. So he came back to live with my mom and I during summer. He lived with us during the next year also. He was told to get a job, but hasn't. He attended 2 classes at a local college during the spring. Then summer came. My mom didn't even look at his grades. The plan was that my brother would attend the college full time this year. But it didn't happen. He is still living with us, with no job, and no is even talking about school. My brother isn't stupid. He scored a 26 on the ACT. But he is lazy and doesn't want to work. My mom is so oblivious and it annoys me! he has no respect for anything that she has done for him. He continues to smoke tobacco and I cant stand the smell as it is traced throughout the house. He is rude to her and to me. He has anger issues. I feel like he thinks he is entitled to be prince and to get what he wants. Recently, my mom bought him a brand new phone (one of those big ones that are smaller then the tablets). He racks up a **** load of data and then I can't use any with my phone. I also recently found that he has been saving porn on the computer! And a hell of a lot of it too. I told my mother but she doesn't seem to care! He hasn't even been punished for it. His friends are over here all the time. He isn't supposed to have friends over on week nights, yet they are always here. My mom talks to him about it, but then he does it again! I point this out to my mom but she just says, "you don't realize it, but he had no friends in high school. He has such low self esteem." OMFG. My mother uses his past abuse to justify his actions. She says that he has mental problems, and I will admit that he might. But she always says that my brother does these things because he was abused by my dad. But its time he learns to confront these things. He doesn't go to therapy or get help. All he does is sit in our basement, go hang out with his other loser friends, and mooch off of us. He has no job. Even I might get a job soon, what a slap that will be in his face! My mom says that she can't force him to do anything, that my brother has to do it for himself. I know she feels guilty about what happened to my brother when he was younger. I think thats why she lets him live with us, because she has enormous guilt. But I can't stand it anymore. I don't know what to do. I want to move out, but I have no where to go. I am only 16. I have tried talking to my mom and she listens but just says that I should move in with my dad if I don't like it. What a horrible thing to say, telling me to move in with the man who verbally abused me. She says that she must help him. But I feel like she isn't. She isn't doing anything that will benefit him. But she still does nothing! What can I do!? I feel so helpless. Am I being heartless or irrational? Someone give me advice on what to do or say. Please help me out. I will award a best answer. Thank you for reading!

So I have been asking around on this subject and I am honestly curious. So a prolife person told me that the process of a developing fetus begins at pregnancy. But I fail to understand why it matters. I mean, if a fetus is aborted, I don't believe that it knows that because I don't think it has any conscience. Now I disagree with 2nd and especially 3rd trimester abortions ( because the baby can survive by itself), but I don't see a problem with having an abortion within the first 12 weeks. I believe in God but I don't think he assigns a soul at the moment of conception. So I want your opinions on this. I respect everyone's view and I want to know what you think.

I am just wondering. What are your opinions? and please don't just rant, back up your statement with evidence. I would like to know what obama has done so far and whether it is good or bad? Why do you like/dislike him?

So I have this pimple that hasn't broken through the skin yet. Does anyone know how to stop it before it does break through? Also what are some things I can do to prevent and treat pimples? I already wash my face twice a day.

1.Do you believe in the christian God?

2. If you do believe in God, does that have on influence on whether you are pro choice or prolife?

3. Do you believe humans have souls?

4. Do you believe abortion is a woman's right and choice?

5. Do you believe that at conception, there is a human soul there?

6. Are you pro choice or pro life?

7. Why are you pro choice or pro life?

I am 16 and got my period 2 and a half years ago. About a year before my period started I had horrible monthly cramps. I know that this was the time when I began ovulating. Then when I got my period, the cramps stopped. I didn't have anymore cramps for about a year. I was so happy! But then after a little while, the cramps started to come back. They cramps start the day my period starts and last for about 12 hours. I also get diarrhea sometimes and I become very nauseated. One time I felt so nauseated I thought I would puke. Also, sometimes it hurts for me to even go to the bathroom. They slowly got worse and worse. I took ibuprofen and it worked for a little while. But then the ibuprofen didn't work at all. Last year, I forced myself to go to school and it was hell! I hurt so bad that I cried when I was with my friends. They even told me to go home. So then I tried aleve. And it worked. I was so happy! ( this lasted a couple months) But then the aleve has slowly stopped working completely. I take an aleve and it takes an hour to kick in, then it only lasts for about 3-4 hours. ( even during that time, the cramps are not all the way gone.) I find that the only way to ensure my cramps go away is if I sit in an extraordinarily hot bath for hours. (however long my cramps last) Well this is good but the only problem is I can't stay home from school! I counted my calendar and my period is due to start the day of final exams. I can't miss a final! they are a pain to make up. Simply put, I am tired of my cramps interfering with my life. I am on debate and I play volleyball. I can't live constantly tied to my cramps and having to miss things because I am in too much pain. I have looked online and saw that birth control could help. I was wondering if any of you have had a situation like mine? What did you do to solve or help it? Does birth control really help? And if so, how can I ask my mom about getting it?

Hi. So I will give you a little background info on my life before we begin. My brother grew up being physically abused and also verbally abused. I was the girl and was only hit once or twice but I too suffered verbal abuse my entire childhood. I won't say who abused us but it was someone close to us. My brother has many problems today. I believe because they stemmed from the abuse. He has a horrible anger problem and I think he has more mental problems. He is so rude and such a jerk to me. Sometimes I wonder if he has two personalities because he can be nice to me or very mean. He did not do well in high school. He smoked weed and continue to smoke tobacco now (no weed anymore). Anyways he passed HS and went to college. Man was I glad! but he basically flunked out and came back home. He has been living with me and my mom ever since. I can't stand it. His friends are over all the time (even though my mom tells them they can only be over on the weekends). He is messy, smelly (cuz he smokes) and stinks up the whole house. He acts like a little prince. He complains constantly and my mother old him to get a job but he has been "looking" for almost a year and a half. Oh and by the way, my mom bought him a very nice car when he was 17. He has gotten into like 4 accidents. His car caught on fire because he was smoking in it and now it doesn't work. So he basically ruined a 9,000 dollar car. Anyways I found something. He has done something completely awful and immoral. ( I am pretty sure it is illegal too) Only I know about it and I don't know whether to tell my mom or not. If I do tell her, it might ruin her. It would also be embarrassing for me to tell her. But I really think I must. But, again, she will be devastated and it could ruin the whole atmosphere of our family and house. And I do not like my brother. I almost hate him. So I am wondering. Is it worth it if I tell my mom? Or should I keep my mouth shut? Or do something else?
