I've been there, done that. A couple months ago, I got a concussion, and it lasted quite a while. All the symptoms listed were ones that I had, plus I was unbelievably cold all the time. However, a week after I got it, I did a figure skating show. If you think you have a concussion, please take your time getting back into things, at least a month. Rest and staying inside is the best thing you can do for yourself. However, my concussion healed between may and june. I still have memory problems. What does that mean?

ugh. I tried doing a handstand cuz my sis is always doing them and I was trying to show that i could do them too. I fell on my head (HARD) and I think I got a concussion. Now I know that my sis can do wat my sis can do and i can do wat i can do. Otherwise known as I'm definitley not trying again... at least for a while.

I have to have a physical this year, because It is my first year of school sports eligibility. There's a form that we have to go get from the school, and then we can schedule one. I'm just wondering what all usually happens during a physical. My mom said she didn't know for sure, so I was wondering if you did?




Hey girlie,

Check out this article - it'll give you more deets on the physical you have to get! (Usually, the one you get for school and the one some people have to get for sports are very similar.) As the article says, it's NO BIG DEAL. It's basically just a check up, and you've had plenty of those! Smile

im feeling very unhappy. :_(
so all of my friends have gotten their periods and talk about it.i havnt. and i have this cousin who got hers a year ago, and when i visit florida we usually share a room, and the last time i had to share a room, i was undressing and she kept commenting on how "her boobs were 3 times bigger than mine, and i had no hips." its really annoying and i hate how all my friends have had their periods even my friends who are shorter then me and have smaller breasts then i have! plus i have had discharge for over 2 and a half years!

 

hey girl! I've been there. I once had a "friend" who told my my body looks like a 12-year-old boy's. You know why girls say stuff like that though? Because in one way or another, they aren't happy with themselves. It might be that her body is the one thing your cousin likes about herself right now and so putting you down makes her feel even better. Don't listen to it though, because she can't make you feel bad about yourself, only you can, and you have to stay positive no matter what anyone says. chin up, you can do it!

At our school a new rule was established that all athletes in high-impact sports (basketball, softball, baseball, football, and wrestling) are to be taught the signs and symptoms of a concussion through a guide by their coach and have to sign the packet in order to play. I think it's a really great idea and that all schools should have to do this. It only takes like 20 minutes to go over and can really be helpful if you ever do get a concussion.
