ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Not a stellar student? How to do your best this year

 

 

I’m going into eighth grade and freaking out because I’m horrible in school. I want to be smart and try my best, but I always get bad grades. Do you have any tips on how to stay focused?

 

Dear School Stuck,

You can make the new school year your best yet. Sit toward the front, speak up in class, stay on top of assignments and strive to excel in at least one subject (English? Science? Art?). It sounds like you need a new strategy this year. Maybe your parents can hire a college kid as a “homework helper”? Do you need an adult math or language tutor? Or extra time with a teacher? Might you have a learning issue like ADD? Can you study in a library or set up a work space at home with a bright light and inviting desk? Invest in pens, highlighters and supplies, and kick off the new school year with a winning attitude. Instead of dreading the first day, plan ahead and make this your turnaround year.

Hi mod, I don't want to be rude but why does GL recycle the same celebrities... There are so many great, empowering women and men out there that could be done for a cover story. Why do the same people over and over? Also, did GL get rid get rid of their special report? If so, please please please!! put it back in the issue it was my favorite part of the magazine!! Thanks!

Hey girl,

Thanks for your feedback, we always love hearing from GL girls! We try to feature the top celebs you want to see, and we always love hearing what you think of who we feature in the mag and online.

Okay, so I'm a pretty good student. I'm in the gifted education program at my school, I take a math class a level above my average grade, I go to the High School every morning first period for Spanish even though I'm only in seventh grade, and on my last grade card I got straight As. No minuses. But this year has proven to be an issue. I'm the biggest procrastinator! I'm sick of shoving eight class periods worth of work in at 2 am Sunday night. How can I organize myself?




Hey grace1089, you have set aside enough hours during the week for your homework. Maybe when you come in from school take a 30 minute break, then spend 2 hours on homework, take another break, another 2 hours eat dinner and call it a night. Try something like that to be sure you're getting all your work done and enough rest. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Today I'm having a sleepover with a new friend. Last time I had her over we played a few games and watched a movie (which she didn't really seem interested in). Also, she doesn't really like doing stuff like mani/pedis which I do with my other friends. What are some activities I can do with her?

 

Hey genieinabottle, ask her what she'd like to do. That way you both can be happy. Hope this helps and have fun! Xoxo
