I have a lil tip of advice. If u wan to mass notes during math class write ur not pretend to ask ur friend if u can borrow their calculator when she gives it to u pretend 2 use it thn slip the note in the lid or cover thn give it back 2 them. but b careful dont just keep passing it ur teacher may get suspicious pause and wait bout a minute b4 either of u passes a note back. And dont pass notes on giant piaces of styrfoam. My friends did tht during an assembley and the teacher took it aND READ IT. it was bout guy troubles YIKES.

Wolfsrule43, you need to report this problem to your teacher, your principal, or one of you parents. You should not be letting people bully you!!! My cousin got bullied ever day in school for 7 years straight and then she killed herself. She was sick of being made fun of. I don't want you to try and kill yourself. Please do me a favor and report the bullying issue immediatly!!!

Hey... I think this has something to do with school:
Last year I was badly bullied by some girls in my grade. I had to hit a guy! Why? Cause he was walking into my personal space.
This year though a lot of those girls are in my class! And they still bully me a little bit!
Help what do i do?

Hi. This is strange but I get really good grades in school and every one expects me to to go to college and have a high paying job, but I don't want that. I want to be a stay at home mom make food from scratch and not be the one to pay the bills. I have talked to my mom about it and she say I have to go to college. I plan on just getting an associates. But my question is how can I prepare for this job? Stay at home mom is a job. I am going to babysit a little boy in the summer.




Hey girl, I think babysitting is a great way and maybe taking a cooking class, but note before you are a stay-at-home mom, you have to get married and have someone who will support you — it might be a little bit of time before you get to that point in your adult life. That's why giving up on college and a job period so early on might not be the best idea. Try exploring your hobbies and see if there's anything you're interested in (favorite class math, for example? Maybe you can do engineering!) Chances are you can build a job out of it until Mr. Right comes along. And who knows? You may just want to keep doing it, too. xoxo
