Love books? So do we. But there are millions of tweens and teens who don’t have access to your best-loved paperbacks and hardcovers. Sixty-one percent of low-income families don’t have age-appropriate books in their homes for kids to read. That’s wear DoSomething.org’s Epic Book Drive comes into play. The purpose is to motivate teens to take action on education inequality.
 
Want to give your favorite book to a tween or teen in need? Log on to DoSomething.org to find a book drive near you—and score step-by-step tips on how to run a book drive of your own.
 
Last year, the first annual Epic Book Drive collected over 200,000 books. This year, organizers are hoping to more than double that number.
 
Check out the PSA below from pop and R&B star Keri Hilson, and then log on to DoSomething.org to, well, do something!

 
What book do you think every kid should read, hunnies?

Hey moderator, (and all you lovely ladies out there if you wannna answer)
this doesn't have anything to do with the post, but anyway, for some reason the past week i've been feeling frustrated and moody and snappish and cry sometimes for no good reason and my stomach feels sort of bloated and fat anywau i sometimes feel this way right before i get on my period but it hasn't happened yet and i don't keep track of it so i'm not sure when i'm due for it. And i want to lose all my stomach fat but its like it just won't go away and i run tons and exercise and eat healthy (I would do this even if i didn't need to lose weight cuz i love working out and eating healthy but it's still frustrating that i have so much tummy fat) ugh its so frustrating can you help? just answering this would be helpful thanks a million

 

Hey girl, I know it can be frustrating, but it sounds like you are describing common symptoms of PMS. It's okay every once in a while to feel the need to cry it out a bit--it's completely normal! If you want to try to avoid your slump, I suggest marking when you get your period on a calendar. That way, you'll know when to expect those mood swings next month. Plan a fun girls' night with your besties or rent a new movie that just came out on DVD. Find something that you enjoy to lift your spirits. Keep your head held high and you'll be out of your funk soon enough!


 

As far as stomach fat goes, it can be due a lot to genetics. It sounds like you already exercise a lot and eat well, so maybe you could just revamp your current lifestyle to see if that has an effect at all. Try high intensity interval training--instead of jogging a couple of miles at a leisurely pace, combine sprints with jogs. It will pump up your heart rate and help burn fat. You could also try weight-lifting to build more muscle. Food-wise, try to clean up your diet as much as possible. Eat plenty of veggies and lots of water. Good sources of fat (like nuts, avocados, natural peanut butter) can also help. Don't forget to nourish your body! You are still growing so eat plenty of whole foods that are good for ya!

I think every kid should read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, at the very least.
