Morning after pills, like Plan B, are technically sold over-the-counter.

That means you could pick them up from a pharmacy just like you could Aspirin or something.

But because of federal law, birth control can't be sold to girls under the age of 17.

Girls 16 and younger need a prescription.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that pediatricians routinely talk to their teen patients about emergency birth control and to write them prescriptions for morning-after pills.

So then if a girl does have sex, and regular birth control does fail (exploding condoms), she'll be able to get her pills right away.

Morning-after pills can work up to 120 hours after sex but they work best if taken within the first 24 hours.

The AAP said:

We get it — Tylenol and ibuprofen help. Be it headaches, back aches, or any kind of aches, it's just easy to reach for the pills.

You might wanna stop, though, or find another way — they could be causing you hearing loss!

Men, you're not out of the woods either. In fact, it's been known for a while that there's a link to hearing loss for you, too!

This study was HUGE:

Well, Omega-3 supplements, that is!

It's true, a new study is showing that those fish oil pills you've been taking haven't been doing anything at all — it shows that the supplements don’t lower users’ risks of heart attack, stroke, sudden death or death from heart disease or any cause.

Part of the study had scientists reviewing 20 studies dating back to 1989 that involved 68,680 participants. So it wasn't small by any means.

So what's up with the conclusion now vs. what it was in the past?

Wow, that's pretty mean!

The Situation is being taunted for being sober while partying in night clubs!

C'mon people! He got sober! That's a big deal!

Also, he looks like a freakin' bodybuilder! Holy heck is he jacked!

As we previously mentioned, The Situation checked himself into rehab for a prescription pill problem.

An insider said:

"Mike has been consistently taunted by other club goers for not drinking. He has been handling it pretty well but it can get embarrassing and awkward for him to consistently be harassed for it. Mike was being heckled on Friday night before the fight broke out. It has been hard for him to deal with at times because his sobriety is still rather new. However, Mike absolutely hasn't been drinking or taking pills and is committed to staying sober. Mike isn't going to stay home and not go to clubs, he doesn't think that going out will harm his recovery."

We don't see how partying with drunk people all the time can be good for his recovery.

Maybe he should move in with Snooki!

She has a separate beach house because of her pregnancy. Maybe they could hang out and not drink together!

Sorry about the club goers, Sitch. Stay strong!

Not condoms!

An intrauterine device (IUD) or implant!

These IUDs are so effective because
