Locker clean-up 101: What to toss and what to keep

Check these out, too...

Summer is oh-so-close and we can’t wait! Wanna dash out of school as fast as you can after the final bell? Then it’s time to take a sec to dig through the clutter you’ve accumulated all year and decide what to toss and what to take home. Intimidated by the mounds of last month’s math homework and the remaining shreds of your language arts folder? No worries, babe. We’re here to help!

Cute pictures of you and your friends. Keep em! Just ‘cause you don’t need the pictures in your locker anymore doesn’t mean they aren’t special. How about making a scrapbook of the past school year or framing them in your room? Even if you’re gonna take ‘em home and toss ‘em in a box, be sure to keep your pics. Trust us, you’ll love to look back one day and remember your good old school days.

Makeup you bought at the beginning of the year. Toss it! It’s not a good idea to hang on to old makeup since it starts growing bacteria after a few months. So leave your old eye shadows and liners behind, babe, and buy some fresh shades next year.

Locker accessories. This one it depends on the condition of your locker accessories. If they’re falling apart, trash them. If you bought yourself a nice locker ladder for organization and it’s still holding together, keep it and use it again next year.

Half-used notebooks and school supplies. Stumps of pencils sans erasers? Toss. Pens you’ve barely used? Keep. Paper folders that have seen better days? Toss—they’re a dime a dozen, practically. Notebooks you’ve hardly written in that are still in pretty good shape? Take ‘em home. Rumpled loose-leaf paper that never made it into your binder? Recycle. Plastic dividers, folders and other organizers? Keep. If you’re not keen on dragging your still-good stuff home, consider donating your supplies to charity.

Crumpled papers and handouts. Recycle them! It’s unlikely that you’ll need your teacher’s handouts again so rather than throwing them away, recycle them and help save the environment. Be mindful of what you’re tossing, though. That epic list of active verbs or a how-to guide to algebra might come in handy next year.

So, I was texting one of my guy friends and he asked me who I liked. When I told him, he said stuff about the guy I liked like, "He tries to be cool but he's not, no one likes him, he's mean and says stuff behind other people's backs." I honestly don't care about the cool part, cool is overrated. And there's always gonna be people who don't like you, right? But I'm wondering whether to believe my friend about the mean part. One of the traits I value most in a guy is their niceness. The guy I like is my brother's friend. He's come over a lot and has never done anything to make me think he's mean. Adults always talk about him as being polite too, and I haven't heard any other rumors.
This has happened before when another of my guy friends said stuff about the guy I liked at that time (a different guy) that I had never heard.
What do you think?

Hey, Girl! Sorry for the “stock” message. We’re psyched you’re here but since this is a super busy time, mods aren’t able to answer personal advice or contest questions.

Okay so I am eleven years old and I had been wearing makeup to school. I am in sixth grade. But when my mom found I got in trouble. I thought I was allowed because all my friends do. Now I feel like I am gonna get made fun of. My mom said, not until eighth grade! What do I do?
