  • 7 fresh books you've gotta read this summer
  • Tune into summertime with our ultimate summer playlist

Have a free afternoon? Use your downtime to make a difference in your community. We’re showing you who to call and what do to make the most of a summer off. Talk about a season of giving!

 

Volunteer at your local animal shelter. The animals are oh-so cute plus you’re really making a difference!

 

Phone up a nearby hospital or clinic and ask if they need any volunteers.

 

Donate old clothes to Good Will or the Salvation Army. Someone less fortunate will totally appreciate your gesture.

 

Serve lunch or dinner at a Soup Kitchen with your sweeties.

 

Help out neighborhood families by babysitting. You could have a lot of fun hanging out with the kids, and you'd be giving the parents a much-needed break from the madness.

 

See if you can assist with the Sunday school program at your church.

 

Help brighten up the lives of the elderly at a nursing home. To see your smiling face might really make their day. You can sing, dance, play games, read stories, bring in pets, just about anything you want.

I am already involved in a youth leadership program (you basically help out with day camps and look after the kids and you go on trips and volunteer. It`s pretty fun!!
This article is motivating me to volunteer at animal shelters, because I am a total animal lover and I want to volunteer at hospitals and clinics! Great ideas, you guys should write more articles like this Smile

Hey girl,

I can only imagine how
tough things are for you. Because we wish you only the best, it’s extremely
important that you speak to a trusted adult, such as a family member, doctor,
guidance counselor, teacher, etc. x0x0

i have medium brown hair, medium brown eyes, and skin that isnt tan, but not pale either. just normal. what color clothes would look good for me?




Hey girlie,

You're lucky because you can pull off the biggest variety of colors because your hair/eyes are neutral! Since it's summertime, go for pretty banana yellows, celery green, and creamsicle orange. In the fall and winter though, gem tones will totally be your friend (emerald, sapphire, deep purples). You can also probably pull of bright red with ease!

So I went to a party where all of my soccer team mates were at. (my coach trows a party and the end of evry season)It was a pool party so I was swimming under water and couldn't see. I accidently hit one of my teammates while i was swimming. I apologized to her but she ignored it. Then she told everyone on my team that i purposly untied her bikini top and grabbed her boob. Now no one talks to me and they all think Im a lesbo. What should I do? I try not to care what people think of me but my whole team of 17 girls is a little toop much to ignore! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
