Stress Busters

Color Up Your Life

Paint your walls (with your ‘rent OK first, of course)!

Colors, like lavender, blue and green, are proven to have a calming yet energizing effect. Studies show that hues drawn from nature (lavender: flowers, blue: sky, green: grass) put you at ease because you're used to seeing them.

ok i started havin these werid mood swings ( there not bipolar like though) but they started happening in school. i told my friends so they no if i go off on them its not that i rlly wanted 2. but how do i try to stop them during the day b4 ppl start 2 make fun of me for cry ( even more)HELP!!!

Hey girl, those weird mood swings are part of puberty and hormones unfortunately, girl. As for 2, the best way to handle your mood swings is to be sure to take care of yourself. Exercise for stress relief. At school, try to maintain your composure. I know it may be hard, but it's super important. Mood swings tend to peak right before your period, so know it won't always be so weird. The best thing you can do for your friends though is to give them the heads up you have. It'll all be alright.

i want to paint my walls but im not sure my mom or dad will let me do it right now they are like a tan with brownish stipes of diffrent shades what color do you think i should paint them and how should i convince both my parents into leting me do it???

Hey girl! Try talking to your 'rents and seeing how they feel about the sitch. Knowing their feelings may make it easier to chose a color! Maybe you all can come to a compromise!

MOD*****MOD***MOD*** this has nothing to do with this topic sorry. but i want to try a new sport. what sport is fairly cheap and is not soccer.

Hey girl! Try picking up volleyball or basketball. You can find a court for either around and try practicing it. Pick up a ball and a few friends and try it out!

MOD Wow! Cool! I really want to paint my walls a pretty sky blue, but my mom won't let me! How can I convince her that it is a good idea??

hey girl! Try talking to your mom to find out why she won't let you. Explain your side of the story and try to compromise with her. You'll help paint the room if she lets you! Best, Kristen <3

MOD MOD!!!! I have really hard time getting up in the the morning.I go to bed earlier,set my alarm clock on the other side of the room,what can I do to wake me up???

Hey girl! When you wake up, shut your alarm off and immediately leave your room. Go to your living room or somewhere and do some streches until you feel your self wake up a little!
