  1. Good luck dear, everytime I think im gonna get back on schedule its 8 am before I know it. I have never had this bad of a cycle before. I take my meds to make me sleep but they aint working like they supposed to. But if I stay up till I drop I sleep only 4-5hr and im right back up again then its another 24-30 hrs before I sleep again.
  2. yea I think he switches them out every week to two weeks can't remember and too lazy to check lol
  3. That was cute loved it!!
  4. that is one tiny ass lil canon
  5. I was 11 when I first started mine, but I was starting to develop boobies when I was 10. But I was also your average "healthy" child back then too. And to look at my pic and know now days I would be considered obese with the BMI index just cause I have some meat on my arms is really fucking disturbing to me. I dont agree with the BMI your normal child and adult is gonna have some meat on the back of their arms unless your a bag of bones with skin stretched. Like my grandpa is in that pic to me that is unhealthy.
  6. Doctors are unsure of what could be causing girls to develop at a younger age, but rising obesity rates may be to blame, they say. Biro's team found that girls with a higher body mass index (BMI) - a ratio of weight and height - at age 7 and 8 were more likely to be developed than their thinner peers. But its not just the boobs, girls are also starting their periods at a younger age. You also have to look at family history too, what age was their mother, aunts, grandma. What the news stated that the article did not was also environmental chemicals that our kids are absorbing could also be a relating factor in this as well.
  7. Not only that..... But the increase health risk involved with girls who go into puberty earlier. Increase risk of breast cancer. For you daddies on here that have little girls 10-11 yrs old is the average age for developing and starting their cycles any age sooner would be a cause for concern.
  8. Puberty coming earlier for U.S. girls: study Girls in the U.S. may be continuing to hit puberty at earlier ages, according to new research. The findings suggest earlier development than what was reported in a 1997 study and show a worrying pattern, say the study's authors, led by Dr. Frank Biro of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Girls who hit puberty earlier are more likely to engage in risky behavior, Biro's team notes, and might be at a higher risk for breast cancer, than their peers who develop later. "This could represent a real trend," Dr. Joyce Lee, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of Michigan who was not involved with the new research, told Reuters Health. Doctors are unsure of what could be causing girls to develop at a younger age, but rising obesity rates may be to blame, they say. In a study published today in Pediatrics, Biro's team examined about 1,200 girls aged 7 and 8 in Cincinnati, New York and San Francisco. Researchers, as well as the girls' doctors and nurses, used a standard measure of breast development to determine which girls had started puberty. Compared to the 1997 findings from girls across the U.S., girls in the current study - especially white girls - were more developed at a younger age. As previous research has shown, there were also large differences in development based on race. At age 7, approximately 10 percent of white girls and 23 percent of black girls had started developing breasts - compared to 5 percent of white girls and 15 percent of black girls in 1997, the authors write. Among 8-year-olds in the study, 18 percent of white girls and 43 percent of black girls had entered puberty - an increase from around 11 percent of white girls from 1997, but the same as black girls in that year. This study and another published today in Pediatrics suggest that being overweight, both as a young child and growing up, makes girls more likely to enter puberty earlier. In the second study, Dr. Mildred Maisonet from Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health and her colleagues observed that gaining weight quickly in infancy - a predictor of later obesity - was linked to early puberty in girls in Great Britain. Biro's team found that girls with a higher body mass index (BMI) - a ratio of weight and height - at age 7 and 8 were more likely to be developed than their thinner peers. Those authors warn that their study population, although diverse, doesn't necessarily represent what's happening in all U.S. girls. But they are continuing to follow the girls in the study to see when the rest of them hit puberty, and what other factors might be related to their rate of development. Biro thinks that rising rates of obesity could be a major reason why girls seem to be developing faster than they did even 13 years ago. "We're on the opposite side of an increase in BMI that has been seen in this country and in other countries," he told Reuters Health. Researchers know that heavier girls are more likely to enter puberty early, Lee, of the University of Michigan, said. That could be because overweight people have more of a hormone known to be linked to development - but it could also be a matter of the actual nutrients that girls get from their diet, she said. Lee and Biro said doctors are worried about both the psychological and physical health of girls who hit puberty at a young age. Studies have shown that girls who develop early are more at risk for depression and often start having sex earlier than girls who develop later. "For the 11-year old that looks like she's 15 or 16, adults are going to interact with her like she's 15 or 16, but so are her peers," Biro said. Girls who develop early "look physically older," he said. "It doesn't mean that they're psychologically or socially more mature." In addition, women who spend more of their lives menstruating are at a higher risk for breast cancer - which, depending on when they hit menopause, could be a worry for girls who develop early. Biro said that there are things families can do to minimize the possible risk of early puberty in young daughters, including eating more fruits and vegetables and eating together as a family.

  9. I has a smaller box Lance.... not sure the dimension but shes a tiny box
  10. Damn I need me some of these 150 off of 1 holy shit!!!! I would defiantly break my score with two of these!!
  11. "Thats illegal photography!!!!!! You guys come here every couple of years!!!!! GIMMIE YOUR CARD!!!!!"
  12. Cliques are developed more in middle and defiantly in high school grades. But as far as a 5,6,7,8 yr olds only choosing to interact with certain groups yes that is taught by parenting. IMO
  13. Ummm I dont see how teaching a child to choose a shape that is different than the others considered teaching them to be racist. Hell you have those questions on adult testing including CNA State Testing. Its to train your eyes to look for the slight differences between objects. And I'll have to disagree with you on the clique thing as well. That is to be blamed on the parenting if said child thinks they are better than everyone else. Racism and cliques are learned behaviors taught by parenting skills.
  14. Personality Set for Life By 1st Grade, Study Suggests LiveScience.com – Fri Aug 6, 5:25 pm ET Our personalities stay pretty much the same throughout our lives, from our early childhood years to after we're over the hill, according to a new study. The results show personality traits observed in children as young as first graders are a strong predictor of adult behavior. "We remain recognizably the same person," said study author Christopher Nave, a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. "This speaks to the importance of understanding personality because it does follow us wherever we go across time and contexts." The study will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. Tracking personalities Using data from a 1960s study of approximately 2,400 ethnically diverse schoolchildren (grades 1 - 6) in Hawaii, researchers compared teacher personality ratings of the students with videotaped interviews of 144 of those individuals 40 years later. They examined four personality attributes - talkativeness (called verbal fluency), adaptability (cope well with new situations), impulsiveness and self-minimizing behavior (essentially being humble to the point of minimizing one's importance). Among the findings: Talkative youngsters tended to show interest in intellectual matters, speak fluently, try to control situations, and exhibit a high degree of intelligence as adults. Children who rated low in verbal fluency were observed as adults to seek advice, give up when faced with obstacles, and exhibit an awkward interpersonal style. Children rated as highly adaptable tended, as middle-age adults, to behave cheerfully, speak fluently and show interest in intellectual matters. Those who rated low in adaptability as children were observed as adults to say negative things about themselves, seek advice and exhibit an awkward interpersonal style. Students rated as impulsive were inclined to speak loudly, display a wide range of interests and be talkative as adults. Less impulsive kids tended to be fearful or timid, kept others at a distance and expressed insecurity as adults. Children characterized as self-minimizing were likely to express guilt, seek reassurance, say negative things about themselves and express insecurity as adults. Those who were ranked low on a self-minimizing scale tended to speak loudly, show interest in intellectual matters and exhibit condescending behavior as adults. Changing personality Previous research has suggested that while our personalities can change, it's not an easy undertaking. Personality is "a part of us, a part of our biology," Nave said. "Life events still influence our behaviors, yet we must acknowledge the power of personality in understanding future behavior as well." Future research will "help us understand how personality is related to behavior as well as examine the extent to which we may be able to change our personality," Nave said. Link
