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?

I bet that so much more people (like me) would do this if you didn't have to post it on YouTube....

Um... okay, I've already donated about 2,000,000 books to my school book donation - I have to donate more? I'm sorry, but NO way - I'm not being selfish - I've already donated 2,000,000 ( two million books) I think I've done my part.

MOD
hey i have asked both of these questions before but i havent gotten an anwer so here goes... Smile
1. so all of my body is really small except for my upper thighs. Im a cheerleader so this can really hurt me sometimes in mys sport! do you know any certain foods that cause you to gain weight in this area? also any excersises for it?
2. so i have this friend who is REALLY shy and quiet. im kind of her only friend (i dont mean that in a bad way) but I have a lot of other friends I want to hang out with but she is always following me around. Its not that I dont want her to be my friend, I just want some space!
Thanks soo much! It'd really mean a lot if you helped me ! thanks girl!




Hey girlie,

1. Check out these exercises for toned legs! Remember all girls are built differently and, for some, healthy muscular thighs are natural. In those cases, you can't do much about them but to keep them in shape and lean/toned!

http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/01/11/5-ice-hockey-inspired-workouts.aspx

2. Try asking her to hang out one-on-one (or even better, with one or two of your other friends!) so she gets time with you. Then, ask your other friends to hang out separately. That way, you each get time together and you don't feel like she's hovering all the time Smile Remember how she must feel at school or parties though, if you are her "only" friend - she'll want to be around you for support. If you want space to talk to someone else, say politely - "I'm gonna go over there to chat with ___ for a sec, I'll be right back!" Then go. Be independent and also considerate of her feelings!
