How should I hide my erection in my first kiss ever with a girl I really like?

I believe that I will have my first kiss soon, but it will be on a counter with no chairs nearby and in gym shorts! Were only 14 and I don't want to freak her out. It will be my first kiss ever, and I need advice. How should I hide my erection, AND how do you kiss a girl for the first time EVER?

How do I stop myself from always needing constant attention from guys?

Whenever i have a boyfriend i seem to always need to be talking to them and if I'm not I need to know what they are doing. If they keep something from me or don't want to talk all of the time i feel like i constantly freak out at them. I need to stop this, but I don't know how.

How to overcome a fear of shots?

I am deathly afraid of getting shots! My parents are going to force me to get the flu shot and swine flu shot. I don't want to freak out like a little kid when the nurse brings out the needle. I am afraid of the pain and the thought of a needle going into my skin. Any suggestions on how to deal with shots???? Thanks so much!

Getting rid of an acne break out quick?

It's like a little less than a month from prom. I also have pictures that are going to be taken.. I really need help controlling my acne. I use different kinds of acne treatments- all at different intervals so my skin doesn't freak out- but it always tends to come back. I can never maintain my pretty skin. What are some really effective ways of curing acne quick? Maybe some really good products? (The product I've been using the last 3 months or so is Clean & Clear Morning Burst)

I hate my height so much! At 6'1 half inch tall I feel like a total freak monster. Do I suffer a medical con?

I'm a 20 year old guy.
I'm depressed.
I'm hate my huge body!
I have no life.
I wish I were only average height which is 5'7.4 for a man.
At 5'7.4 I would be a much happier person. I would not think of myself as being a freak because I would be just average. I would not have to suffer the daily challenges of being so very tall.
I would not have any trouble making friends because my height would be average instead of way abnormal. I think that people look at me different because of how tall I am and that hurts me a lot. It also makes me quit angry at the same time. My parents are to blame for this. I believe strongly that I'm my parents had truly cared about me, (which they didn't), they would have taken me to a doctor to have my height stunted at an early age because they KNEW I was going to be above the norm in terms of height at a very young age. Why didn't they do something?! I guess I will never know because I've not communicated with my parents in over 3 years now. I've really had enough of their carelessness. If they don't care about me, then I don't really care about them.
It's so hard to accept the fact that you a different from everyone else around you. You feel out of place, like you were a freak experiment by God himself. Gosh! My parents and God are both SICKOS!
Everything from finding cloths that fit, finding a car that will fit a 6'1 1/2 inch monster is next to impossible, finding massive size 14 shoes is only possible if ordered online. Worring about the future and what health problems lie ahead such as joint and back problems due to my extreme height. It's particularly embarrassing to have to bend down so you can hear people talking to you because you way above their level. That REALLY bothers me.
When you are of average height you are able to find girlfriends that fit you! I just looked up the average height of a women in the united states and it said the average was just above 5'1. Well seeing that the average height for a man in the united states is 5'7.4 it makes since why it was made that way. it looks so natural for a 5'1 women and a 5'7 man to be together because those are normal heights. At 6'1 1/2 inches tall, I'm anything from being normal. These guys who are average are able to get girls around their own size, something that I've always dreamed of having but never will due to the fact that women really don't get much taller than 5'1 inches tall! I'm so screwed!
I know you might say that women love tall men.
WELL THEY DON"T LOVE GAINT MEN THAT'S FOR CERTAIN! I don't know why God decided to curse me with this! I did nothing to get this, I never asked to be this humongous, and I never wanted to have bum ass parents who never took care of me in the first place.
Way was I born so far above the average height?
I read somewhere that I might have suffered from a condition called Gigantism. I this it's where the brain tells this one gland to produce too much growth hormone, making those who are a victum several inches above the average height for an adult human being. It's just too bad this was not stopped by my parents.

How can I ever accept that I am different?
What could of caused this? Both my parents are normal in terms of their height. Mom is 5’3. Dad is 5’6. All of my family members have been about as tall as they are. What the hell happened to me?

I need help… my appearance is killing me.?

I just can't take it anymore, I'm so depressed all the time. My face is covered with acne and scars, the skin around my eyes is thin and causes severe dark circles, my nose is ugly, and the overall texture of my skin is just unbelievably bad. I spend hours looking in the mirror, I don't see myself, I see an ugly monster. It eventually leads to suicidal thoughts and cutting myself too, then crying and then the urge to go through with the suicidal thoughts(I've came close a few times). Looks mean everything to me, and in this condition I cannot stop thinking about it. I find it hard to go out in public, even though I cake on makeup just to hide my flaws, it still looks extremely bad and you can see them through it. I avoid social situations at all costs, even with my family; I have terrible social anxiety. I dropped out of school last year because I just couldn't handle the anxiety attacks... and I would almost always end up going home and crying. I don't want that to happen again this year. I take VERY good care of my skin too (I do hours of research a day to keep up with things, I think I even know more about skin than my dermatologist...), so don't think it's that. I'm even on accutane right now to try to clear up my acne completely, I feel like my face will be covered in scars and it will look just as bad afterwards though... and 6 months post accutane I'm getting laser treatment. I have a separate bank account to save up for my nose job I plan to get too, but It's too hard to get money because I can't keep a job because I freak out and break down. I'm still wondering what to do about my eyes too, but I plan to ask my derm. I always wonder "Why not just end it all, it's not going to work out in the end, just like everything else in my life." because what if the treatments still aren't satisfying and I still look horrible.

I just don't see the point of carrying this burden anymore, I'll never be normal and I just can't accept that. Even knowing there are people worse off than me is not enough to change my way of thinking, even thinking to myself that things will get better doesn't work.

The only times I am happy are when I'm sleeping (which I do a LOT of), when I'm watching a good movie, listening to my favorite music alone at home, or masturbating... This needs to stop, I want to be able to live my normal life. I know there is nothing other than physical change that will fix me, but I need someone to talk to... I don't have many friends.

How can I deal with having acne?

i'm so tired of having it! i have acne, blackheads, and acne marks. i'm so embarrassed of it & i hate going out in public. in school, i hate when people come close to my face. i'm always comparing it to the other kids in my class. i'm 13 and this is really hard for me. i can never be happy, and i have depression because of this stupid sh*t. and my face isn't bad, but it's not a couple of pimples either.

HELP! i'm pretty low on money; i've tried so many things, and i had a dermatologist appointment scheduled on may 4th, but since my mom wont have insurance for 3 months, we can't afford it.

help please...i'm miserable & sad. i feel like a freak compared to everyone else. and please don't reccomend proactiv or something.
i tried toothpaste once, and it sucked.
