•  Do I Have to See the Doctor for a Yeast Infection? What to do when you think you may have an infection. •  Quiz: Should You Try Yoga? There's something for everyone in this ancient form of exercise. •  Quizzes Galore Take tons of quizzes on every possible topic here. Georgia's Governor has banned the sale of candy flavored like marijuana to anyone under 18. What's your take? I'm in agreement with the Governor. Kids should not be eating candy that takes like pot and has names like 'Kronic Kandy' and 'Pot Suckers.' It makes it seem like using drugs is cool. I don't agree with the ban. No one is being hurt by eating this candy, so what's the big deal?

Do You Have a Cool Doctor? No one loves putting on a dorky paper gown or having blood drawn (yuck), but a good doctor can be your biggest ally. From answering questions you're not comfortable asking anyone else to teaching you the best way to keep your body healthy, an excellent physician can make your life way easier. Find out if yours is a good fit for you and what you can do about it if she's not. Andrea Pyros 1. It's time for your annual exam. You:   start dreading your appointment weeks in advance.   feel annoyed that it's going to cut into your school time, but it's no biggie.   are kind of psyched to find out how much taller you've gotten. 2. Your doctor's office is:   full of kids' toys and kind of dorky but perfectly clean and comfy.   chaotic and loud. It's like going into a bus station!   luxurious, and there are always plenty of magazines. 3. You feel a sore throat coming on, so your dad suggests you pop in to see your doctor to make sure it's not strep. You:   agree. You know you'll feel better afterward.   say you want to wait another day but that you'll go if you're not better in the morning.   pretend to feel better so you won't have to go. 4. Does your doctor make time for you to ask questions?   Not really, she's always super-rushed. You usually don't even see the same doctor every time you go, just a nurse practitioner.   Always. She even brings you into her office once you're back in regular clothing so you can talk to her further.   Yes, but you never have any. page 1 of 3 Want more ym?
