Constant headaches, unsure of what to do

I've been having headaches every single day for weeks now. They originally started at the beginning of the previous school year. They worsened and reached their worst at the end of the school year. Then they stopped for a little bit, and then came back. Now they're happening every single day.

Sleeping more does not help me. Drinking more water does not help me. Tylenol does not help me. Using screens less does not help me. My doctor tells me to take ibuprofen for the headaches, which I do. It doesn't do anything to help unless I use 2 or 3 at a time, and it isn't stopping the headaches from happening. It just makes the pain go away for a little bit. The longest it has kept the pain away is for about 3 hours.

It hurts to bend over, sometimes it hurts to turn my head, loud sounds and bright noises hurt, moving my jaw hurts. I really cannot take this. It hurts so bad and I am terrible at tolerating pain.

I have no known health issues, I've never had a single head or neck injury in my entire life, and I'm only 15. Nobody in my family has similar issues. My doctor does nothing except keep telling me to take ibuprofen. Does anyone know what I could do to lessen the pain?

Is Dave's Hot Chicken worth it?

I've been planning to go there because they added one in my area not too long ago. Nobody I know has gone there though. Is it worth the price? Is it actually good? I love spicy stuff but I saw someone online say the chicken was all spice and no actual flavor. It looks really good though lolol.

15F and looking for friends that I share interests with

I have some friends, but I still feel a bit lonely because we share absolutely no major interests, so we don't really have too many conversations about things we both like.

I'm interested in history, medical stuff, and I LOVE making characters and roleplaying with them. I really wanna find someone to befriend that shares these interests. I've been so bored this summer and I just really want someone to talk to and maybe play games with.

I don't care about your gender, I'd prefer if you'd be close in age to me. I don't have that many games, but I do play Roblox (I will play literally any game up there), Minecraft, and I get on Pony Town sometimes.

I love drawing, reading, role playing, and character creation. I'm online literally all the time so I'm free to talk whenever!! I use Discord, Snapchat, TikTok, and of course, Reddit.

Do people actually want traditional art? [Discussion]

I've been wanting to start commissions for the past year or two now. I've been trying to get my art to be better and i feel like it's finally at that point. The problem is that I mostly draw on paper. I can do digital, and my art looks mostly the same on digital as it would on paper. I just prefer paper.

Doing it on paper, I'd just take a picture of my art and send it to whoever requested the art. Do people actually want to receive art this way though? I see lots of art commissions online and I've seen maybe 2 or 3 artists who draw on paper.

EDIT - I was not aware that people mail art. Now that I'm thinking about it that seems super obvious. That is something I'd be willing to do lolol!

How do I make decisions for career and college plans?

I'm 15, have 1.5 years until i graduate high school. In 1 year, I can start early college at the community college near me. I'd really like to get some help about this stuff because i have no idea what to do and nobody has really been helpful when I've asked them about this.

Firstly, do it or do I not go to early college? I graduate about 2 months before my 16th birthday, and I can go off to regular college right then if I just wait for the next fall semester to start.

My next concern is about choosing the right career. I have about 3-4 careers in mind that I am highly interested in but I'm not sure if they're what I really need to pick. I have no idea how to choose if a career is a good career aside from how much I think I'd enjoy it, and the salary.

Final concern would be how to pick out which college classes I'd like to take.

I want at minimum a bachelor's degree, and I want to make decisions based on what's going to be best in the long run. I keep thinking about this stuff because time is flying by and I feel like I'm gonna run out of time and end up having no idea what to do once it's time to make decisions because nobody is helping me.

The only things I know for sure right now is which degree I want, which college I'm going to, and which careers I'm interested in.

Wha aquatic pet should I get?

I have a 50 gallon tank (previously used for a turtle) and I decided I wanted to put it to use. I've owned dogs, cats, and turtles. Never anything else though. I don't think I want another turtle. I got pretty attached to the last one and don't wanna feel like I'm replacing him lolol!

I'd like an animal that's mostly aquatic and won't be super difficult to care for. I can spend time caring for the animal and I don't mind doing stuff like cleaning and refilling tanks. I actually find it enjoyable. I am in school currently, so the time I spend with the animal would be hours after school and on the weekends, hours after work.

I'm not looking to buy an animal right away. I do have money saved up, but I think I'm gonna save up at least a bit more. I think I'll buy the animal around the end of summer/beginning of fall.

I personally don't care too much about how the animal looks. I really love caring for animals and just want something cool to care for and look at. Anything that can happily live in a 50 gallon tank would be good.

Since I already have the tank, I think a budget of $500 should be enough for buying the other supplies for the animal. Please do let me know if I need more!! This is how much I can currently afford to put aside for the animal, but like I said before, I am still saving up since I have a few months until I actually plan to buy anything.

I'm making this post on a chromebook so I can't take a picture of the tank I have, but I can put a picture I found on google of what looks most similar to the tank I have in the comments if needed!!

EDIT - Also the turtle didn't die lolol!! I didn't keep a turtle in a 50 gallon tank for it's whole life. He was a tiny baby when I got him and he started getting bigger. I have a family member that owned multiple turtles and has many large tanks and even a mini pond that she made. I gave him to her so he could have the space he deserved. Sadly she lives kinda far so I don't get to see him often, but I get updates on him occasionally and he's happy and healthy.

How to catch feral kittens?

There's 5 kittens max outside near my house. Their mother is with them as well. I'm not too worried about catching her since she's sweet and I can easily lure her in or just pick her up and carry her, but the babies absolutely HATE me and they dart off under stuff and hide. I'd like to get them inside ASAP since there's lots of wildlife in my area. I don't have access to any of those traps right now, but I can definitely try to make something. How do I catch them??
