I've been trying to install my Wii--it is used if that makes any difference. It won't let me play any games until I do a system update; it connected to the internet perfectly, but when I tried to update it it loaded for only about 5 seconds before only saying "System Update Failed". It gives me no other information.

Has anyone else had this problem before? Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

I'm 16 and have recently been diagnosed with anemia. I've been given iron supplements and was wondering if they would help me grow taller. I'm only 4'6" and have probably only grown 4 inches in the past 6 years.

I've been reading online that being iron deficient can stunt growth in children and teenagers, so to me it makes sense that taking iron should help growth. Is that true?

If an Egyptian tomb is excavated, and a mummy is found, what's done with it? Does it go to a museum? Does it go to the Egyptian government? Or does the team respect the ancient burial rituals and leave the mummy alone?

If you're child is like me and cries when they are upset, angry, and frustrated, would you yell at them for it, regardless of their age? I'm 15 and my parents yell at me all the time for it.

I want to buy The Hunchback of Notre Dame audio book off of iTunes, simply because I am terribly nearsighted (I need my contacts to see 6 inches in front of me) and the copy of the book I own has font that's size 10. I have never bought an audio book off of iTunes before, so I'm not sure what the quaitly of it would be. Can you tell me your experiences with their audio books?

I bought Kingdom Hearts 1 from GameStop today. I put it into my PS2. It said that my DualShock 2 Analog controller wasn't plugged in...I've never had this problem before. I'm pretty sure that the controller I have plugged in is the DualShock 2. Did anyone else have this problem? What do you recommend I do? It won't get past the PlayStation2 Menu, if that's any help.

I asked this once, but it got deleted for some reason.

I'm 15 and I did the prayer about accepting Jesus into my heart a few years ago. When I did it, I did not feel any different, but my friends said they felt an immense sense of happiness. I know I sin very often, and I repent often, but I don't feel any better after wards. I do believe in God and Jesus, it's my own destination after wards I'm not sure about.

Please, don't just give me Bible verses. Those don't really make me feel any better unless you back it up with what you think.

And atheist, don't give me any 'there is no God' crap. I don't shove my beliefs down your throat, so you shouldn't shove yours down mine.

So, I'm 15 and 4'5" (yes, I'm short, please, don't point it out because I already know) And I weigh close to 100 pounds. I want to lose enough weight to be able to look nice in a bikini come summer time. It's already gotten hot where I live, so I've started doing the only exercise I really enjoy: swimming.

My dad was never allowed to have any sweets or fast food as a kid so now we always have fast food. On the weekends we always go out to eat at places like McDonald's or Taco Cabana (it's like Taco Bell). I really want to stop eating that kind of food so I can start to lose weight, but I don't know how to tell them I want to stop eating fast food. They already make fun of my eating habits. (I don't like to eat meat).

We've seen the movie SuperSize Me but that didn't seem to have any affect. Any ideas? Please?

There's this girl at my school, and she's really pretty, except when she wears make-up. (screwed up, I know.) The thing is, she does not know how to put it on and what shades look nice on her. She has a really light complexion, and wears this blood red lipstick. She also puts it on like chap stick (some above her lip, some right below), and when she wears eyeshadow she puts it on thick and up to her eyebrow.

A lot of people make fun of her for it. I want to say something, but the reason I haven't is because she gets easily offended. Once, she asked me to proof read an english paper of hers. I pointed out a spelling error and she blew up, going on on how I thought she was stupid and how I must've thought I was so much smarter than her..blah, blah, blah.

What would you do in my situation?

I have a slight cross bite; it's shifted about 1/2 a centimeter to the right. I'm wearing braces and I'm almost done with the actual teeth straightening process, but can anyone give me an estimate on how long it will take to fix my bite?

I just got my braces Thursday, and I have a few questions about them.

1. When should I stop getting canker sores? The braces don't hurt much; it's the sores they give me that drive me nuts. I've been using the wax, but I salivate a lot so they don't stick very well.

2. When should my teeth stop being so sensitive? I've barely eaten anything today because it hurts to eat even bread. Over the last few days all I've really eaten is ice cream. When should they stop being so sensitive so I can eat again?

Thanks!

She is an old cat. Maybe around 13 years old, american short hair calico. Whenever she goes into one of these crying moods I check to make sure she has everything she needs: food, water, litter box, and she does have all these things. She also has become more clingy. Normally she hates it when I pet her, but now she snuggles up to me when we sleep.

I cant take her to the vet because I don't see anything medically wrong with her. She just wont stop crying and it drives me crazy.

I know it was suppose to be around early March, but the commercials for it say nothing about a release date and Game Stop is already promoting their give-you-the-legendary-pokemon thing.

My dog is a 9 year old female golden retriever. Lately, she's been growing moles on her. She had one on her butt that had gotten as big as a shooter marble, which we got surgically removed. She was just shaved the other day and I found two other moles on. One is on her chin and the other is on her hip. They don't seem to be causing her any pain, and the vet said they aren't cancerous, but I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to slow down their growth.

The first one only took about a year to get about as big as it did. Please help. My I've had my dog ever since I was 7. She's my baby.

My friend told me at school on Friday that she shoplifts. She told me she got a pair of sunglasses and went into the dressing room, took the tag off the new sunglasses and put it on her old pair, then she put her old pair up and walked out with the new pair. She also admits she once broke into someones house and stole from there.

I don't know what to do because I live far away from her and both these crimes happened a long time ago so all evidence that links her to the crimes are gone. What should I do? We are both 15 and I don't want to see her go to jail (because she will get caught eventually) for doing something as stupid as stealing a pair of sunglasses.

My algebra teacher is a total (bleep). It takes me a while to get math and when I ask the teacher for help she says, "I already taught you this! You should know it; this is easy!" She's really full of herself because 'she's the best math teacher in the district.' I told her I need some more time than everyone else to get it but she doesn't seem to care. Whenever I fail a test, she smirks at me as she hands back my test. HELP?

We've never had a real conversation because we only have one class together, but he does this thing where he'll snap his fingers at me and he always jokes around when we are talking. Once, I told him this guy was being a douche to me and he said he would kick that guy's butt. He didn't, instead he just yelled at the guy, but I thought that was sweet nonetheless.

So guys, does it sound like he's into me? And if you think so, how do I let him know I'm intrested without acutally saying it?

I've been trying to lose some water weight, so I thought I try and sweat some of the water and sodium out of my body. I've been stationary biking for about half an hour. I feel hot, but I haven't come close to sweating yet. Should I be concerned?

These last few days my calico female cat has been acting odd. Around 9-9:30 pm every night she goes into this frenzy where all she does in run around the room. There is no bug, not dust bunny, not even a shadow. She'll literally jump off my walls and will constantly meow.

She's about 12 years old, indoor all her life, and is neutered so she is NOT in heat.

Any ideas what's wrong with her?

I'm almost fifteen and haven't had my period yet, but I've noticed this smell coming from my private area. It's a really sour smell, almost like citrus. Is this normal?
