Simple Tip #8

When you are in a relationship, it's a good thing to be nice. You need to always be nice to your girlfriend/boyfriend. If you are the boy, you should always buy the meal when you go out. That will make your girlfriend be happy. If you are the girl, you should go out and do stuff with your boyfriend, even if you don't want to. That will make the boy happier. I think it's best if you meet the boyfriend's or girlfriend's parents right away. It should make them like you more. The main idea is to just try to keep your girlfriend/boyfriend happy at all times. What do you think about relationships? What do you think is important in relationships?

Tell Them Off Wednesdays! - Starting today!

What's the deal with substitutes? Do you like them or would you rather your own teacher come to school? Today, I had a substitute teacher and I had them for two different classes. Normally, I like substitutes but today has been an exception. I think that sometimes substitutes can be mean. I hate how they can say things to you and you just want so badly to yell at them and tell them off but you can't. I am used to doing things the same way, not their way. I find some of the things that they do quite rude and rash. Maybe it's just teachers in general that you may not like? What would the world be like if we could just tell a teacher off whenever we felt like it? I never really feel like that except for today. I really wish today was a day where you could tell the teachers off because well, that'd be really nice right now. I officially declare all Wednesdays Tell Them Off Wednesdays! It only applies to our blog though. If you really want to say something to a teacher or person, post it on here and tell us about it. We would love to hear about it! No bad words! Please, keep it

Looks nice right? This is what they want you to think and believe!

This is what they really are! They aren't as nice as they appear, are they?

Simple Tip #7

If you have a loud voice, you might as well forget about talking quiet. Boys' voices travels far when you try to talk quiet. You have a better chance of just not talking if you don't want to be heard. I get into trouble all the time when I do talk. Do you? Comment back because I would like to hear about it if you do.

Facebook or Myspace?

Facebook or Myspace? Both of these social networks are very handy when it comes to communicating with family or friends.

In my opinion, Facebook is much better then Myspace if you like to play games and keep up to date with your family or friends. Myspace is alright if you like to be creative and you have a little more time on your hands. Here is some information about both Facebook and Myspace if you are into creating an account:

Facebook:

You can chat with peers who are online anytime! Many people use Facebook for the games & to see what is going on with people in their day to day life. A lot of adult and teens get addicted to games on Facebook like Farmville, Cafe world, and Farmtown. You can now buy money cards at your local Wal-mart or Krogers that you can use on Farmville! Another good thing that parents really like about Facebook is that Facebook has a very good protection system, which will keep what you want private always private. On Facebook you can comment on people's pictures, status, and relationship status. In 2007 Facebook had more than 21 million members generating 1.6 billion page views a day!

Myspace:

Myspace was one of the very sites I got when I was 13. I love how on Myspace you can design your background the way you want it. (That’s one thing about Facebook that I don't like) On Myspace there is also videos and games. A lot of kids these days have found Facebook and have forgotten all about Myspace. Yes, I am at fault for that but I do check my Myspace every once in a while. The one thing I really liked about Myspace was that you could have music on your page; even a whole playlist of songs. Just like Facebook, on Myspace you can have personal private settings and chat with peers online.

Simple Tip #6

Kids that are in high school go to a dance, called Homecoming. It's a fun thing to do but some kids seem to take the dance too far. Kids start having fun and they possibly start to drink. They know it's bad for them to drink but they do it anyhow. Therefore, kids need to find a way to say no to drinking. It will just get you into trouble if you do drink. Say no to drinking after Homecoming or any other time.

You're beautiful on the inside

Many girls now a day have a huge self-esteem problem, and yes I am one of them. We think we are ugly? And fat? Or even to skinny? Yeah, I have been there many times, but then again what girl hasn't been there before? About 75% of teenage girls felt depressed, guilty, and shameful after spending just three minutes leafing through a fashion magazine. That's crazy right? Well I have some tips from my own experience with this that could help you. Here are the tips:

Talk to your friends and parents about it:
Yes, I know this may seem to be the answer to a lot of problems, but believe me it truly does help! You probably think that your parents will always tell you that you are pretty just because they are your parent’s - right? Don't think that; honestly don't. If your friends or parents tell you that you’re perfect just the way you are then believe them and build from that. (:

Change in behavior and attitude:
Try to overcome this feeling with being positive with yourself and others. Have a good attitude about everything you do and say. Be grateful for everything and try your best at everything you do. If you fail, just tell yourself that you will know better next time and will try your best to succeed at whatever you are doing.

Remember it's not always about the looks:
Beauty is not only on the outside. Your personality plays a big part on your beauty. My mom says "You can be the prettiest girl, but your personality can make you ugly." I totally agree with her. Many celebrities may have the pretty face, but the personality just isn't good so many people end up not liking them. Just look at the high divorce rate among movie stars. You might thing to yourself "She is so pretty, why would he dump her?" Well, maybe she was not a nice person and very hard to get along with. Again, you could be the most beautiful person in the world, but if you cannot get along with others than you are no good to anyone.
