  • A club event has a drug problem, would i be doing the right thing?

    I live in wales, there is a club thats successful and doesnt have any problems most of the time but they hold dubstep/drum and bass nights, and on these nights the drug problem is massive.

    The people working in the club must be aware because drugs and dubstep go hand in hand.

    My boyfriend has been into dubstep, and has been taking drugs but hes stopped now. I really really want to do something about it, I have reported one drug dealer, but i dont know how much can be done without any evidence.

    I want to email the manager of the club and tell him im worried and that i think they should do a search on people as they go in. On normal nights they search people for taking alcohol in so i don't understand why they dont do proper searches for drugs too.

    Just want a bit of advice really, thank you.

  • Really long period, can anyone give advice?

    Started on microgynon 30 two weeks ago, on the first day of my period as told to by the doctor, and i'm still on my period.

    Usually they last 3-4 days. after 3/4th day it's stayed in the "last stage" of period, where its dark and brown ish.

    If anyone else had this, how long did it take to stop and for a normal cycle to come back.

    I have a doctors appointment next week anyway (not about this) so if it isn't normal or if im worried i'll talk to her then, but i'd really like to know soon because being on your period for longer than you have to isn't much fun.

    Thank you :)

  • Having trouble syncing ipod?

    Ipod is synced fine with this laptop, but i wanted to do a home share thing because i have a lot more music on the computer which i'd like to have on my ipod.

    I connect it to the computer and the computer recognises it ("connected to ipod") but nothing happens on itunes, I was expecting a pop up giving me an option to sync&erase etc.

    In the drop down list on file the ones that would show if itunes recognised it was connected were not clickable (such as sync/view ipod)

    Does anyone have any ideas why?

    I tried resetting the ipod by holding down the menu/circle button togehter but it made no difference in the end.

    If anyone can help i'd really appreciate it :-)

    Thank you!

  • suffering with insomnia and nausea, any ideas?

    3 months ago i was rushed to hospital with the worst pain i've ever experienced. I'd had stomach pains coming and going but these were absoloutely awful, it felt like something had twisted inside and it physically stopped me from moving, and if i did force it to move i'd die (that sounds so dramatic, but honestly. Ive had appendicitus a few years ago and left it a week before going to the doctors because theres always something wrong with me, by then it had burst and infected everything, that was very painful, but this scared me). Mum and I were both worried i'd die, but didnt say this to each other at the time.

    Since then ive been feeling sick every day just about, its not constant, and I havn't been sick, but it comes and goes, and right now i feel really really sick.

    My boyfriend and I broke up 2 months ago and since then really ive just been a rubbish sleeper. I'm taking sleeping tablets at the moment which are helping a lot, but its been 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 at the most. for 2 months.

    could they be linked? and any ideas? Guessing ill have to go to the doctors again.

  • help with probability (S1)?

    Missed the lesson, and now i'm blank.

    A and B are independent.

    P(A) = 0.3

    P(A u B) = 0.58

    Show that P(B) = 0.4

    ---------------------------------

    so i've got to : 0.28 = P(B) - P(a n b)

    so i need to divide 0.28 by 0.7 to get the answer, but i cant see how i'm gonna get the 0.7.

    Help if you can, thank you :-)

  • balance between making him pay, and not holding a grudge.?

    We've been togheter for 8 months, he's slept with people before but I havnt. We havnt slept together yet.

    3 weeks ago, he decided he needed time out, he was under a lot of pressure (his mums addopting and he needed to help her out, he had no place to stay for university, his friend was in hospital...) and he was going off the rails and wanted to sort himself out. We were on this time out for 2 weeks.

    Everythings been perfect, he's been brilliant to me and we're good together. But he rang me 2 nights ago, at 5am, he was crying and said he needed to tell me something and that it was awful...

    He "did stuff" with another girl, on the first night in halls (univeristy accomodation) . He said that he couldnt face losing me and that he regretted it and begged me not to leave him and told me that he would fight to make me stay and that he wanted to look after me and love me and make up for it ettttttttttc.

    I was numb, i was hurt and shocked and had no idea how to react. I went over to his yesterday to talk, but I didnt have anything to say. I sat on his bed for an hour, weeping and mute. He said "Please say something" and i said "I dont know what to say." I told him I wasnt going to leave him, but i didnt know how to get past it.

    He just held me. We went to sleep and then we were just how we always are... I dont know if i'm giving in too easily/quickly, If i held a grudge and made him keep appologising and promising never to do it again, surely it would end up ruining the relationship. But if i just move on now, am I making it too easy for him?

  • Hairs are taking forever to come back after brazilian?

    I had my first brazilian on the 31st of July, I booked for another one after 5 weeks, but only some hairs had come through so cancled.

    It's now been 8 weeks, and some bits are back fully, but on the sides some are only just starting to come back, and some not even that.

    I want to get waxed again because i dont like hair really, but im thinking theres no point getting it now because the others will surely just come throguh in a week or so?

    Has anyone else had this problem? what should i do?

  • He got an erection and i didnt act on it.?

    he's 19 and has been with quite a few girls before me, I'm 17 and i havnt done anything with anyone.

    We've been together for 7 months and have taken things really slowly but now that hes got his own place for uni etc, things will be progressing.

    over the past month hes been getting slightly turned on around me for no reason, when were just sitting talking etc. Yesterday we were laying in his bed kissing and holding each other close and he got an erection... we just carried on kissing etc and didnt do anything about it.

    How does it feel for a man to stop at that stage? without "finnishing the deal"?

  • How long did it take you to fall in love and admitt it?

    Hit me this week that im crazily totally in love with him. I've never ever ever ever ever felt anything near this before.

    But its so soon , its happened so quickly. I can't tell him yet. But im finding it very very hard keeping it to myself.

    So yea, how long did it take you? And did you keep it to yourself for a while?

  • He said i was the least chatty person hes met... so now i feel sad/scared, i really like him.?

    So there's this boy... We've been friends for a year or so , but not peticularly close.

    Over the past month we've spoken every day (over msn mostly)

    We went on a date last weekend and sat in the cafe speaking for 5hours. Admittedly he did most of the talking and did point out that if he stopped speaking i wouldn't come up with somethng to say...

    then today we went on another date. I know i dont speak much... Il answer anything , and if i have a story to contribute then ill say it but , i dont go out of my way to think of a topic if we stopped talking , i dont mind sitting quietly.

    He said i was the least chatty person ever... this sorta hurt me. hes really sweet and we both like each other , and he said it with a laugh but ive taken it to heart.

    Should i try and force more conversation? how? I dont want to lose him.

    I like to include writing and poems in my art and so im looking for poems that could fit the theme.

  • Staight person dating a bisexual?

    I'm young (17) and ive really fallen for a friend of mine who's a bisexual... I'm straight , and it doesn't bother meee that he's bisexual. But i'm worried about how others will judge it.

    A friend of mine who knows about us said "well theyd never guess unless you told them so just dont mention it" but ...does that seem like im hiding/ashamed of it?

    I just want your experiences if any of you (straight people - girls prefrebly ) ahve dated bisexuals.

    I guess you have no control over who you fall for.

  • Am I eating too much protein?

    I recently went to see a nutritionist type person , those who deal with allergies.

    She's told me to go without yeast and sugar... and to eat protein with every meal.

    I'm not sure how much i weigh , i don't keep tabs. But i'm 16 , 5"4 , and a UK size 6 on top , 8 on bottom.

    I do nooo exercise at all , because my knees are dodgy and i'll be having an op next year.

    So on this new diet now , i'm eating (usually) - fried egg on toast for brekfast , oatcakes and cheese for at around 10am , for lunch i have a tortilla with chicken and guacamole and cheese , when i get home from school i have 2 cheese/sundried tomatoes/pesto on toast , for dinner it varies - last night it was chicken and brown rice and chorizo , tonight it was steak and home made chips.

    I just wanted to check if having protein with every meal , and not exercising , was ok?

    what good/bad will it make?

    thank you :)

  • Ideas for yeast free lunches?

    I've only really got 1 recipe ... a cous cous salad with chicken , tomatoes mint persly onion.

    Only just been told to avoid yeast so im new to all of this. Any good ideas? I've only got 30mins in the morning so it has to be quick (the salad above takes a bit of time so something really quick - i could cook the chicken and couscous the night before though)

    I dont mind rye bread for toast , but its not nice at all for sandwiches...

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    I'm not allowed sugar either (not even fruit)

    I hope you have some suggestions?

  • Microfleur flower press?

    I got it when I was younger , 7-10? So at the time , i didnt understand it...

    Now however , i really need to use it (Art unit about leaves) , but i've lost the instructions...

    I've still got the 2 plastic things , the 2 foamy material things , and then the 2 cotton(?) sheets you put either side of the flower. And the clasps to hold it all together.

    So basicly , all i need to know is... do i just put the leaves in the middle , put it all together , and put it in the microwave? For how long?

    And can i put more than 1 leaf in at a time?

    Thank you , i couldnt find instructions online xxx

  • Is there anything I can do? (heartbroken friend)?

    My best friend (17) has had to break up with her boyfriend (18) because she couldn't cope with all the things she had to do , and was falling behind with school work and her being responsible , she decided she had to break things off (he wanted to see her 4ish times a week , but she could only give him Saturdays/sundays , and then she had no time for herself)

    They'd been together for a year , first love. They really were in love...and were each others first times. Clearly they both love each other... and she is really really really distrought.

    they broke up on saturday , and yesterday she was being sick all day because she was crying so much etc (and she's a girl who never ever cries)

    She doesnt want to get back together with him because she feels itd be unfair to keep changing her mind , and she also realises they broke up because she couldnt cope.

    Is there anything I can do/say? I care about her so much and i dont like seeing her like this.

    I don't know what to do.

  • I don't understand (issue number on mastercard)?

    I'm ordering a few books , and I'm using a mastercard to pay for them.

    I've tried twice now , and i'm going to ask on here before i try the third time incase they think im a fraud or something.

    So here's the problem , well two infact.

    1) issue number.. I'm ordering from waterstones , it has a * by it , meaning i have to fill it in... so do I just put 0 in it?

    2) on the back of the card , for my security number , I know it's "the last 3 numbers" howeeeever i'm having problems.

    there's the bit where I've signed my name , and on that there are 4 numbers. Behind that (sorta looks like the one with my name is stuck on to it , although it isnt) theres a thinner white strip with 3 numbers on that...

    Which one do I use?!

    As I said i've got it wrong twice , so now im just a bit confused.

    Thank you xxxx
