13 things your school could do to help ya stress less

Check these out, too...

Ya know what? We're sick and tired of being stressed out all the time, and we bet you are, too. Stress makes you sleepy in class, catch colds super easily and perform poorly on tests. Not. Cool. Here are 13 things we'd like to see schools do to make our day--and yours--happier, healthier and (yes!) a little less stressful.

Puppy therapy! An Illinois high school is trying it now.

Recess

And nap time, while we’re at it

A fun gym class. Bring back all those silly games we played in elementary school, please!

And the option to do yoga or meditation during gym, too

Five minutes of chill-out time at the end of every period

Play music during passing time

And extend passing time by a minute so you aren’t rushing from one end of the building to the other

Make one night a week homework-free

Change the Firefox or Internet Explorer homepage on school computers to We Heart It

Put comfy chairs in the library--and stop yelling if ya doze off for a few

Push back school start times so you can get more sleep

Ask teachers to give students a few free homework passes each semester, for use when you are really overwhelmed

What do you wish your school would start doing? Tell us in the comments!

Love this post? You’ll heart these too…

+ Whittle your middle in no time

+ Need to get something off your, ahem, chest? We’ve got the answers

+ Pumped up playlists for cal-burning time

WIN BIG! Score a $400+ spring wardrobe from Peace Love World

These all sound like great ideas! My school in Illinois actually plays music during our 6min. passing periods(and we even can make a request!)! And our lunch hour is split in half so half of it is devoted to guided study(not much, but still helpful!) and first semester I had mine in my school library and the chairs at the table were these super comfy rocking-type chairs. One time I was extremely exausted from my long day so I fell asleep in guided study so I was able to get a good 20 min. of shut-eye.

I've liked this guy for a year now. He dated a girl (my friend) and they broke up. He still likes her, and she still likes him. How do I figure out if maybe he likes me. He treats me like a friend, but sometimes he acts really flirty?????

Hey! If you think he likes you try spending more time around him, send out some signals and see how he reacts. Ask if he could ever see you as more than a friend. There's nothing wrong with being direct, and honestly, it saves everyone a lot of time and energy trying to interpret every little hint. If he acts like it's weird, well, you can't help that, and then you'll know for sure how he feels. When I was younger I was told that honesty is always the best policy, but I don't think I really believed it until I grew up and went through some relationships. There is nothing inherently embarrassing about having feelings for someone, or expressing those feelings in a respectful way. It's all the peer pressure that tends to make crushes feel awkward and hard to deal with. So just make peace with the fact that you can't control him, or what he thinks, but you can control you, and if you believe that, it will give you all the confidence in the world to just go up and talk to anyone you want to. Trust me
