Q: Especially if your parents have expressly forbidden you from dating, if they find out that you have disobeyed their rule you can get in serious trouble. This can damage your parents trust in you, which will take time and effort to rebuild. Damaged trust might make it even harder for you to date when you are older and have more freedom. There's nothing wrong with starting to date young. However, though you may be excited to start dating as a teen, your young age will limit what you can do with your partner. Damaging your parents trust early on might make it harder to enjoy dating when you have more options available when you're a little bit older. Your teenage years are a time of change, and it's only natural for your emotions to be strong and difficult to control. This includes your emotions concerning your romantic partner. Feelings of love can lead to sex, and although safe sex dramatically reduces the chances of an unplanned pregnancy, there's still a chance you could get pregnant. An unplanned pregnancy will change all of your future plans. You'll no longer be able to pursue your dreams alone, you'll also have to take into account your child and how you will provide for and raise it. Depending on a state, as a minor (person under 18), your parents may have the power to make decisions for you concerning your unborn child. This situation could result in you having to go along with your parents wishes. Keeping something secret might be fun for a while, but it can lead to feelings of guilt and stress in both you and your partner. Stress can cause many negative effects to your health, like stomach problems, heart problems, emotional problems, tension, a weak immune system, and more. Your decision to keep your relationship a secret won't only affect you, it will also affect the person you care about. Even if you and your partner feel comfortable keeping your relationship a secret in the beginning, you should check with your partner as time passes to make sure the effects of stress aren't having a negative impact. While at this point in your relationship things might be going well, there's always the chance that your partner isn't who you think. In the heat of the moment, you might be pressured into doing something you're not ready for, and if you're keeping your relationship a secret, you might feel like you have to keep this a secret from your parents as well. In some cases, this might lead to you staying silent about rape or abuse instead of seeking help or reporting your partner to prevent it from happening to someone else. Speaking out about rape or abuse can be difficult, but you are not to blame. Keeping your relationship a secret might make your partner feel unimportant. In some cases, your partner might even feel like you're embarrassed about your relationship. This can lead to unhealthy stress, which could have a negative effect on your relationship. You should think about whether you're really giving your relationship a fair shot by keeping it secret. After all, the stress and potential negative feelings that could result from keeping it on the down-low might even cause your relationship to fail.
A: Contemplate the consequences of hiding your relationship. Recognize the potential for unplanned pregnancy. Realize that secrets can cause stress. Understand some people aren't who you think. Consider the feelings of your partner.

Q: Persons with ADHD tend to have lower serotonin and dopamine levels. Many people experiment with changes in their diet in order to counter-effect these deficiencies to some extent. Experts recommend a complex-carb diet to boost serotonin for improved mood, sleep, and appetite. Skip simple carbs (sugars, honey, jelly, candy, soda, etc.) ) that cause a temporary serotonin spike. Instead, choose complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, green vegetables, starchy vegetables, and beans. These all act as an energy "time-release." Eat a protein-rich diet that includes several proteins over the course of the day to keep dopamine levels high. This will help you improve your focus. Proteins include meat, fish, and nuts, as well as several foods that double as complex carbs: legumes and beans. ADHD experts recommend improving the brain by avoiding "bad fats" such as those found in trans-fats and fried foods, burgers and pizzas. Instead, choose omega-3 fats from salmon, walnuts, avocados and more. These foods may help lower hyperactivity while improving organizational skills. Seafoods, poultry, fortified cereals and other foods with a high zinc content or taking zinc supplements are linked to lower levels of hyperactivity and impulsivity in some studies. Don't forget that some spices do more than add flavor. For example, saffron counters depression, while cinnamon helps with attention. Some studies show that eliminating wheat and dairy, as well as processed foods, sugars, additives and dyes (especially red food coloring), can have a positive impact on behavior in children with ADHD. While not everyone will be willing or able to go to that length, some experimentation may produce improvements that make a difference. Be certain to run any major changes in diet by your doctor. This includes changes related to vitamins and supplements. Ask your doctor about any conflicts that could negatively impact your ADHD medication. Your doctor can also suggest recommended dosages of various supplements and warn of possible side effects. For instance, melatonin may improve sleep in persons with ADHD, but it might also induce vivid dreaming which may be unpleasant.
A:
Eat complex carbohydrates to boost serotonin levels. Improve your focus by eating more protein. Choose omega-3 fats. Increase your intake of zinc. Add spices to your food. Experiment with eliminating certain foods. Talk to your doctor about dietary changes.
