I don't know how I have managed it, but I have never had a nose bleed, even after getting hit pretty hard there.

And now a note for everyone, remember to pinch your nose and lean FORWARD if you have a nosebleed. Do not lean back! No matter what your mom told you growing up, you should lean forward. You don't want blood going down your throat into your stomach. The lean back thing was probably because parents didn't want blood on the furniture or carpet.

Fer"is that blood? No, it's snot"rick

All of a suddun he balled up his fist and hit me square in the nose. I almost hate him for that because ever since then I have had frequent and terrible nose bleeds.

> Ussually, though, I have them at night or at least in my home. Today I had one in the middle of church. I was sitting in the very second row and suddenly it started coming. I didn't want to get up and leave because I would have to walk past the whole congregation. Eventually though I was forced to get up and run to the bathroom because my mother ran out of tissues from her purse and the blood was still coming strong. It was incredibely embarassing.
