WOAH! A lot of people who answered you were acting like you should just grow up or something.Well, not me! I know how you feel.I am 14 and can't even swallow sudafed (they are so tiny). Most people think you "have to learn how to swallow pills".NO! It isn't like swallowing them is the only option.Now your parents don't need to get angry.I'll give you some solutions.I found out from my doctor that I apparently have sensitive gag reflexes. Sounds like I made that up, but that is exactly what he said.Maybe you have that problem, too.
Go to Wal*Mart and go to the pharmacy section.They will have a pill crusher.It's cheap and all you do is put the pill in, turn it until the pill is all crushed and then put it into applesauce or anything like that.Now you don't have to gag trying to swallow pills and your parents won't get mad at you.

same i just get soluable stuff its really annoying

If you have a good amount of water in your mouth and tilt your head back you can't even tell they are there.. I take three everyday, just make sure your mouth is filled and head is back :) It wont get stuck its to small

umm, well i dont have that problem but just pretend theres nothing in your mouth but the drink you have with it. and just take a big gulp... i dont know what else to say lol.

i think of swallowing pils as swallowing my chewed up food if tht helps.

Wash them down with water really fast and they are gone before you know it. :)
You get used to them after a while anyway. You just have to keep trying.

I wasn't able to swollow any type of pill until I was 15. I would put it on the end of my toungue... but I just couldn't do it. My grandmother would have to chop them up and put them on a spoon and I would swollow it that way with water. I suppose it can be just as effective if you do that instead of swollowing the entire pill. To this day I have a hard time with really big pills. I guess if you try it enough eventually it just goes down. Don't be nervous or anything... just practice until you get it.

Pratice w/ chocolate m&m's after u manage dat get penut m&m's! thats wat i did! lol

capsules don't leave in your mouth too long it will burn
but regular hard capsules you can cut in half and take one at a time, or ask your parents to buy smaller pills. Good Luck!!!! :)

Well what pills are they? If they are only going to help you than just do it, its just like swallowing food with water. but if they have bad effects on you or are bad drugs than once their swallowed-their in your system for awhile.

you can be a little thing they sell to crush pills, not capsule but pills. They sell this for people that can
