totes for school???!!!?

Q. i'm a 13 year old 8th grader that goes to this really small country school and for next year my teachers are trying this new thing that we are not allowed to go to our lockers in btw classes so we have to carry all of our books with us..... so do you think i should get a tote to carry my books... and if so what should i look like????

Answer
If your school will allow you to do it, the rolling suitcases or totes on wheels are a healthier way to move a heavy load. In recent years doctors have seen a significant rise in back problems in kids your age or a little older, and it seems connected to carrying lots of heavy books. If your school won't allow you to pull your books, use a proper backpack (and show your teachers the article below). Sorry to say, tote bags are the cutest solution but also the one that's the worst for you. Save them just for lightweight stuff.

Makeup? Boys? High School? Teen Questions!?

Taeyoon Mi

Hi! So I have a TON of questions.
1. Makeup- I have never worn makeup except for a few especial ocassions I'm 15 and I look like a little kid :( but I honestly don't want to wear makeup... I know this generation is all about looks but how else can I fix my kiddie look? I'm not exxagerating! You know when you go to Cici's and they have an adults menu and a kid menu? I always get the kids menu! And the Kids menu is only for 10 year Olds or younger :( so please help with that

2. Boys- Ok so I have been asked out before but I said no because I didn't like them. I also don't "believe" in dating when you are 15. I know it might be silly because people start dating when they are like 10, but I think its weird. You always hear those songs, movies, about the depressed girl that got heartbroken at a young age I don't want that, is that weird??

3. My personality- I'm very funny, my friends have told and I do believe it. But when I get mad..... I get mad! I take things lightly but I usually do things to get attention.... I'm not very confident in fact I'm not confident at all. Everything is a task for me. Even changing my bag for school, I always think what would peple say bout my new bag.... how can I overcome it?

4- Cursing? Ok, yeah if your 15 you curse but I don't like it. Its so vulgar! I still do it and I hate it! want to stop but I can't! Its not like i can watch every single thing I say. Does anyone else have this problem? How can u fix it?

5. High School! I'm going to high school next year and I am scared, yeah a lot of people feel like that but I am really intimidated, I'm 4'8 and 15 and I have a baby face. I don't like it and I am so self conscious. Im really scared! Any word of advice?

Sorry for the long questions!! But please help :)

Answer
Hi sweetie, i just recently graduated from high school and hope i can be some help ;)

1. You dont HAVE to wear makeup to look pretty, makeup is something most girls do to attract attention. if your feeling the NEED to wear makeup then your probably feeling pressured by other girls, or you honestly are seeking attention. However makeup isnt a bad thing, not only can it attract attention, for some it gives them confidence. As far as the menu thing goes, i can see the only reason a waitress would serve-you is that you look about their age limit of 10. believe me, stay looking young while you can, your beauty WONT last forever, or maybe the waitress doesnt care if your slightly older.

2. BOYS ARE TROUBLE! focus on your grades, extra-curricular activities, sports, clubs.. etc. Most boys are drama, and only want that ONE thing girls have that they dont. Of course you wont be single forever, so my advice: be VERY selective on who you date. make sure they respect you as a person and never get yourself into something you feel isnt right. You may stumble across a break-up and it will feel like the end of the world... dont worry about it, theres PLENTY of fish in the sea.

3. Who cares what people think of your new/old bag for school?! As long as YOU like your bag, thats all that matters. Dont bother what others think, most of the time their the ones too blind to look at themselves in the mirror. besides, their thinking the EXACT SAME THING about their bag, makeup, hair product, whatever. so their too busy thinking about themselves to look at others.

4. everyone cusses, ya i think its a nasty habit too. Hoever, theres a fine-line between cussing around "friends" and "family". you have to have respect not to use that language around your family, friends are a different story. Dont intentionally cuss to look "cool", its really not and trashy. your better than that. And if you find yourself about to cuss, just pay attention to yourself and "catch" yourself saying it, then correct it. - it only takes 7 days to break a habit ;)

5. High school isnt as scary as it seems... your first few days will seem scary, lost, and BIG. dont worry about your height, im positive there will be shorter people than you! besides, your a girl, and most girl are about your height anyways. After a week or so into school, itll actually get boring. and you have 4 more years of it if you dont move.

i hope i helped answer your question, good-luck and congrats onto High School. Be safe and dont get into trouble, be smart.

I'm going to public school?

I <3 Dance

So I've been homeschooled my whole life but in the fall I'm enrolled to go to public school! I'm so excited, but freaking scared. There are 2,300 kids at my local high school! I'm pretty social and I have a ton of friends from dance, but I'm a little shy when first meeting people. I'm scared I won't make any friends since I'm coming in the 10th grade and everyone will already know each other. I'm scared I won't have anyone to sit with at lunch and I'll get lost (because the school is huuge).
I just have a few questions:
1. How much homework do you get a night?
2. What kind of backpack do you think I should get?
3. Do you have any free time after school or are you super busy with studying and homework all night?
4. I'm taking geometry, biology, US history, Spanish, English 10 and Art II. None of them are honors or AP since my counselor recommended normal classes for my first year do you think these are really basic?
5. Is school REALLY as bad as everyone makes it seem?
6. What else should I know about starting my first year of school?

Please, please, please answer all my questions I will love you!! I know it's early to be thinking about this as the school year isn't even over yet, but I'm so nervous and want to be prepared!! :)

Answer
This is based on my experience of high school from like...2 years ago? :P I'm 20.

1. When I was in "regular" classes (I was technically an honors student, but opted out of the honors program.), I usually got at least one assignment from each class. However, there will be days with homework and studying overload because your teachers decided to have projects all due in the same week or even day.

2. Uhhh. A normal backpack? A lot of girls in high school did use giant purses. Messenger bag. etc. Just don't be that girl who has a giant back AND a giant purse. It looks dumb. Just get something cute and durable that will hold your stuff. :)
Unless your school has a rule against it, half the students at my high school did just bring their backpacks around instead of leaving it in their lockers. A lot of girls would just carry their books in their hands instead of in a bag.

3. I had a lot of free time, but as I mentioned earlier; Lazy honors student in regular classes. When I was in all honors, I had 3-4 hours free time? But I wasn't acing those courses either, so...>_>

4. Sounds good. They are fairly basic courses, but since you're not familiar with public school, it's a good idea. Also, when taking AP courses and if you're taking it for hopes of transferring it as a college credit...discuss with your advisor/counselor if that will even work. A lot of my friends, even those who transferred to prestigious universities (like Brown University) couldn't transfer all their AP credits over. Just something to let you know.

5. This will depend on your area. I've moved into the city for college and damn. Some of my friends have horror stories on their hands of bullying, but I was from the suburbs and they were all pretty accepting and I was never bullied. Just be nice and courteous to others. There will always be people who may not like you, but so what? High school is just 4 years of your life and make the best of it! Join clubs & stuff to make friends. And for the love of...whatever you believe in, don't buy into popularity stuffs. Popularity fades and it doesn't matter after high school.
& don't be afraid to speak up. Do be aware that most schools have a zero tolerance policy though. You can't fight back if you're getting hit.

6. Ummm. Don't be afraid to ask people (especially teachers) for help! On the first day of classes, people are usually lost, so there's usually a teacher standing outside their room to give directions.
High school lunches are generally gross and expensive. Bring your own lunch. :P

I don't mean to scare you if I did! D:

And coming from someone who is in college & comparing the experience to high school...I'm in community college and my classes are a breeze, despite taking only regular credit courses, instead of honors or AP. Just something I thought I'd mention I think you'd probably end up asking Y!A anyway. ;P

Why do little kids think that they're the shit?

Need middle school tips, badly?

Butterfly

Please email me whatever answers you come up with at tweet069101@hotmail.com . I deleted any personal info already liek my first and last name so no one can figure out my identity, the reason I am using that email is because its my main email.


Hey people, its your girl butterfly. I need tips! I am going into 6th (A.K.A middle school) and I need tips. I am gonna be new along with my 8 BFF's and I need tips. Well I wanna choose two elective classes two rate in order from 1-4 and here are my choices:
Art, Chorous, Life management, Exploring technolagy. I am good with computers and drawing. I sing good but dont wanna be in chorus. I wanna choose two electives because I am not good with reading notes and playing them (Band). So anyways, I dont wanna get bad grades and I dont wanna forget all the stuff I need to know. Here are my main questions:

How do I remember my locker combo? How do I decorate my locker in 5 minutes?

How do I keep from getting lost? What if they dont have maps?

How do I keep up with where to go and how to get there? (over 73 different classes and special classes).

What if I have to change in front of a bunch of girls since we have to take gym.

How do I contact my bff's? What if we want to eat lunch together?

Our school colors are tacky! What do I do? I dont look good in orange! (Black, white, orange)

What if teachers are like witches? (Basicly describing my 3rd grade teacher, an old lady with a mean voice).

How do I get enough sleep with such a buisy schedule? (My day is basicly getting up at 4:30 a.m, get dressed, my mom does my hair, btw I am black so thats why. Next I grab all my stuff and get in the car, vroom, errrrrrrhhhhhhh, we're at my dad's house, bam I close the car door and make my way into his living room, its 5:14, he wakes up in 6 minutes, I try to catch some Z's and then, beep beep beep, his alarm clock goes off, oh no I gotta brush my teeth and use the bathroom get on my shoes and grab my bag! We head for my grandmas, my parents have day jobs, we hurry there and she opens the door. I go back to sleep and then eat. Oh crap, my breath smells like do do now. I dont know what to do. Then I get to school. 6 hours and 30 mintues of boring EOG crap. Yawn, I end up falling asleep. "Sit up!" the teacher says but I cant seem to stay awake. Then ding ding ding the bell rings and everyone rushes out of the school. I get picked up by my grandma or grandaddy and we go to the house. Oh no, I have an annoying 7 year old cousin who wont shut up and leave me alone. He doesnt ever stop singing or making noises which is why I couldnt finish my homework yestarday, he kept following me and making stupid noises trying to unlock whatever door of the room I was in. Ding dong ding dong ding ding ding dong, my dads here, yay! Two hours later, my mom gets here, I get on the computer and thats it, then I go to bed at 9:30). I'm buisy dont ya think? Its horrible!

What do I do? Little black kids think I am ugly and might try to kill me! What do I do to stay safe? They can easily bring granades, in fourth grade this 12 year old retard decided he was gonna bring a bb gun, he was supposed to be suspended for the rest of the year, only 10 days! Mother freaking butt holes should have suspended him for longer, he could have killed someone. To believe hes gonna go to my schoo next year.

I have way too many books and way too much homework! How do I narrrow it down?

I cant see the baurd, what am I supposed to do? If I ask someone what it says the teacher might think I am cheating. I don't wear glasses because they dont anything, the glasses I have on my side table just make the words or whatever less fuzzy (no not fuzzy fision, just makes it clearer). I want a certain type of glasses like these:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tatyveli/1682138701/

I really dont wanna ask my dad for glasses. So please try to answer edleast say 4 of my questions.

Basicly the middle school is less than 5 minutes away from my current school, you can just walk there.

Also this is a girls only question but what do I do if my period starts and theres no tisue in the stall and I have no one in the bathroom to ask for help? I dont want to walk around wet knowing the it might bleed through.

Answer
1. Lots of middle schools give you a homework planner. Write your locker combo in one of the reference pages.

2. Decorate: Metal lockers: use magnets to attach a strip of cool-patterned fabric to the back of your locker or inside of door. Plastic lockers: use poster putty (sold at drugstores in paper aisle).

3. If you're lost, ask around. Don't say you're in the youngest grade, just say you're new. Better to duck into a classroom and ask a teacher.

4. You'll eventually learn to memorize your schedule and once you start remembering where you're going, it won't take so long to get there.

5. Changing in front of peers ain't that bad. Just do it. If you're shy, use a bathroom stall or behind an open locker door. When you get to know your P.E. classmates, it's really no big deal anymore.

6. Text them. Email them. IM them. But not when you might get in trouble. Don't test your teachers within the first two weeks, since they may remember you as the girl always on the phone/computer and will be more likely to take them away from you.

7. Your school colors rock. Play up the black and white since you don't like orange with a black headband or black clips and b/w bracelets and beads :P

8. If the teachers are bad, remember other people have to put up with them too. If you're singled out by the teacher and end up being the student he/she picks on, tell your parents and counselor.

9. High school schedules are often worse than middle school. If you want, catch some ZzZz's during the later part of lunch and set a phone alarm before class starts.

10. BB guns won't kill people. Honestly. My brother has one and it hurts, but there are much worse things. If you're worried, take martial arts over the weekends or something - I suggest Tae Kwon Do. Still, don't sweat it much; it's not too likely super disasters will happen.

11. Homework: take good notes, use composition books instead of folder paper in binders (if possible), don't take textbooks home unless you need them for that night, study your NOTES, not your BOOKS, and get a sturdy backpack. Get into the habit of using your locker.

12. Ask for glasses anyway. If you really can't see anything, you'd be hurting your education by not being able to learn to your best ability. If you want a certain style of glasses, just ask! The place selling them may have discounts and sales :)

13. The period thing is a nightmare, but I suggest keeping a small makeup purse with two to three pads/tampons in your locker. If there's no tissue in your stall, just walk out, grab some paper towels from by the sink or tissues from the next stall, and use those until you can get some real pads. <-- Hope that never happens to you.

Good luck in middle school & congratulations on finishing elementary!
MOST IMPORTANT: Have fun, chill out, and go with it :)

How can I make face more attractive and flawless?

school bags for little kids image

Violet

I am nearly fifteen and my face looks stupid. It is pale and has freckles. I look like a little kid. So don't tell me to love my face no matter what or I will seriously get annoyed.
I go to a private school, so I don't want to wear to much make up and it rubs of because its cold and I get up at 6:30am to catch my bus. So what can I do? Any remedies? Advice?

Answer
I am in the exact same situation: pale skin, freckles, and private school where you can't wear any makeup. Here is what I recommend:
1. Wash your face every evening and morning. I use Noxzema; but I also recommend Neutrogena's Oil-free Moisturizer for sensitive skin. Also exfoliate your skin about every week or so using a scrub and some kind of facial mask.

2. This is what I recommend to do every morning: take a quick hot shower to open your pores (don't wash your hair; just pull it up in a bun) then rub an ice-cube all over your face. I know it sounds crazy but it reduces swelling of the face, closes your pores, and gives your face a radiant glow. Here is a link for Green-tea ice-cubes (you can also just use a regular ice-cube if you want)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGt3DBDHLy4

3. This is what I recommend to do every evening: Take a shower and wash your hair if needed. After your shower pluck any eyebrow hairs if you think it's time to get rid of some extra eyebrow hair. Here is a link that shows you how to properly pluck your eyebrows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PugziVUikEg

If you are trying to get rid of dark circles under your eyes then here is what you do:
Make some tea and save the tea-bag. (Don't put in any sugar!)
Drink the tea so you fall asleep better which will help reduce the dark circles.
Take the tea-bag and place it over your dark-circles.
Repeat on the other eye.

4. If you want to wear makeup then just use some concealer to cover any flaws such as broken capillaries or redness. If you love make-up then look up Michelle Phan. She is the best make-up guru on the whole web!

5. Find a hair style that suits you. Hair makes a big difference in your appearance.

Hope I helped!!

Is it weird for a teenager to have emotional attachment to a stuffed animal?

Kiro

I'm 15, 16 in August. I have a really strong emotional attachment to one of my stuffed animals, a little white tiger. His name is Luminor. I take him with me everywhere, even to school. I carry him around and put him on the desks (I don't wanna keep him stuffed in my bag, it's mean). I talk to him and pet him all the time and whenever I'm eating or drinking something I'll feed him (except chocolate, he can't have that) and I give him baths when he gets dirty. I don't think he's real, I know he's just a stuffed animal. But I love him. He's my best friend. He even wears my lucky necklace.

I'm really protective of him. Like I said I take him everywhere. I won't leave him in the car. At my mom's wedding I had him dressed in a little tuxedo and refused to have any pictures of me without him in them. I don't like people grabbing him because they usually grab him by the head and it hurts him.

I know this is common in little kids, but shouldn't I have outgrown it by now? And I never even did this when I was younger.

(And I guess this matters) I was never abused or anything. Not sexually, physically, verbally, none of that.

How weird is this? Is there something wrong like, in my head?

Answer
It's not that strange for teenagers to still have a connection to their stuffed animals, but you do take it a little far. I'd say that what you do is strange, but not necessarily a bad thing. If it doesn't cause you any problems, what's the harm?

How do I potty train 2 kids at one time?

school bags for little kids image

I have 16 month old twins (1 boy 1 girl) and I want to start potty-training them in about 2 months, I know some of you will say that they are too young but they are both very smart and I really believe they can do it. I know girls are easier to potty train so should I try to train her first? Should I get 2 separate potties for them? Should I use pull-ups? I also know that the daycare isn't going to help me (they are busy) so what should I do about that? It might confuse them that they have to go at home, but not at daycare. I'm going to buy some potty books and think of some kind of reward system, but I just really want to make sure that once I start, I don't stop because of problems that may arise. Only mommies (especially of twins!) or people who are around little kids a lot... I would really appreciate any advice.

Answer
When I potty trained my daughter, I stayed home for four days, kept her at home with no bottoms onat all, and took the portable potty into every room we were in. When she went, she would get to pick from a grab bag of prizes. For two, I would imagine that two potties would be the way to go. Also, I would encourage the man in your life to help with the boy. Also, my son goes to a daycare that potty trains children. They start them at 24 months. Those types of schools are out there and available to you. Good luck!

What would be some good things for an Easter Party I am setting up for extended family?

Adamismyna

I am hosting one this year and I am 28, single. It will be kids but only 1 little kid (Easter Bunny aged) the rest are junior high and high school. Some will come and others might not but I wanted to make enjoyable activities.

Answer
List of things to do for an Easter Party

Mummy: Need rolls of toilet paper, one per person. You can form teams to see who is the fastest dressing their mummy (other person) or just let them have fun. This can be very messy with the dust from the toilet paper and the paper fight afterwards.

Picky Marshmallow Relay: Need toothpicks, one per child and one marshmallow per team. The marshmallow is placed on the end of the first persons toothpick. They hold the toothpick in their mouth and try to pass it to the next person in line using only the toothpicks in their mouths.

Clothes Pin 7-Ups: 7 clothes pins per person. Clip clothes pins on the backs of all players and have them face each other in a circle (outside). At the mention of "GO" they each run around trying to get the clothes pins off each others backs. No grabbing and holding on to the other persons.

Talent Show: Video the kids performing to music. Lip sync is fun or air guitar/sax etc.

Nighttime Easter Egg Hunt: Hide eggs and prizes outside. Everyone brings a flashlight to the party. Hide items like fingernail polish, body mists, not just candy.

Piggly-Wiggly: Everyone lays out their sleeping bags. Choose someone to be "it." They must leave the room. Everyone else hides inside the sleeping bags (not their own). When they are ready, "it" comes back in. She sits on one of the sleeping bags and says, "Piggly-Wiggly" the person inside says "oink, oink." 'It' must guess who is inside the bag. If they are right, the person in the bag is it.

Rock and Roll: When your having a slumber party and going to a roller-skating rink is out of the question, make a skating rink in the garage. Parents can back out their cars and take out other stuff in the way so there is room to skate. You can also have music and a snack bar!

Hip hats: Decorate denim hats with jewels and sparkle puff paints and wear them around the next day.

Puffy pillows: Decorate plain white pillowcases with puffy paint. Let them dry overnight.

Popcorn Toppin': Pop some plain popcorn. Give everybody a couple of dishes with popcorn in them. Have your guests put on all the toppings you want. For example, cinnamon and sugar, raisins, melted butter, pizza seasoning, and parmesan cheese to make a pizza kind o' popcorn.

Curly-Cute: Make rag curls in your friends' hair. Take pieces of fabric and wrap hair around them. When you wake up you hair will be all curly.

We Had A Ball: At the end of the slumber party, sit in a circle and sign beach balls with a waterproof marker. Write all about the good times you had together at the sleepover.

Burglar Alarm: Set a little timer and have everyone go out of the room. One person stays in and hides the timer. Then the other children come back in and try to find the timer before it goes off. Whoever finds it might get some kind of prize.

Set up a craft table to make bracelets.

Have a pajamas contest! See who has the best pajamas!

Watch some fun movies.

Pillow fights.

Make smores!!!!!!!!!!
Serve whipped cream and fruit on waffles in the morning.
See if you can borrow a kareoke machine so you can sing along to music.

Do makeovers!

Make rice krispie treats.

Make your own sundae!

Popcorn fights, if you have a vacuum handy.

Decorate some cutie pie cupcakes.

Play boardgames.

Decorate pillowcases with fabric markers...this way they can use them that night. Put on date, etc.

Shaving cream fight out side.

Play telephone.

Have a talent show!

Wacky fashion show!

Have a "theme" for the slumber party such as spa slumber party (perfect for all girls), spooky slumber party, survival slumber party, etc.

Do pedicures.

Think of unusual places to sleep: the attic, a tree house, a tent outside in your back yard.
Scavenger hunts.

Trying to raise money for a chariatble foundation at school. Any good ideas?

school bags for little kids image

Q. Okay, we're raising money for a charitable foundation, and we need good ideas. We already have done (and can't do again):

A raffle
Bake sales
Dress down day (where we can wear whatever we want if we pay like 3 dollars, instead of wearing a uniform)

We're already thinking of doing:
A movie night in the auditorium
An after school story time for little kids

Yeah. So anything other than those things, please list 'em! I'll give best answer to the person that gives the most ideas that I actually decide to use, so list as many as you can think, even if you htink they sound stupid. Oh, and the school goes from nursery to eighth grade, so all age group related activities work! Thank you!

Answer
A 'fashion show' where the kids or teachers dress up and put on a show for the parents, you charge for entry and everybody has fun.
A talent contest same idea.
Some kind of quiz or word puzzle. Get one off the internet or make your own, then people pay to enter and have some kind of chocolates for a prize.
Bag-packing at a local supermarket: put out collection boxes and smile sweetly ;)
Sponsoring form a local company, the kids parents might be interested of they have their own business maybe?
Teachers vs students (or parents) sports event
Sponored silence
Sponsored spelling event (the kids have a sheet of words to learn, and get relatives to sponsor them. At the end they all get tested and are sponsored for the number of words they get right)
Have an all ages crafts/cooking event, then sell the spoils.

Good luck with it :)

Some kind of quiz or word puzzle. Get one off the internet or make your own, then people pay to enter and have some kind of chocolates for a prize.
Bag-packing at a local supermarket: put out collection boxes and smile sweetly ;)
Sponsoring form a local company, the kids parents might be interested of they have their own business maybe?
Teachers vs students (or parents) sports event
Sponored silence
Sponsored spelling event (the kids have a sheet of words to learn, and get relatives to sponsor them. At the end they all get tested and are sponsored for the number of words they get right)
Have an all ages crafts/cooking event, then sell the spoils.

Good luck with it :)
