Hey! I'm in my first year of college, and I'm having trouble. It's honestly hard for me to pay attention in class. All teachers do is lecture, lecture, lecture, give a test, and repeat it all over again. I TRY to pay attention and take good notes, but it's never good enough. I've failed half of my tests so far. And since I have 4 more tests coming up within the next 3 weeks, I'm really nervous about those too. You HAVE to do good on tests, because really, that's all your grade is. A bunch of tests.

Does any one have any good study tips for college? It's also hard because they don't give study guides like they did in high school, so I never know what material to study. I really don't know if college is for me. The way I passed high school with As and Bs was..I'd do all the work given, do bad on the tests, and it'd average out to a B. I'm not used to studying. I try, but it doesn't work. Any advice? Thanks.

take notes on the stuff you get lectured about. often times, writting things helps you remember. some colleges have class slides showing all the material they covered. my friends at Georgia Tech didnt even go to her first class of the day, she read the slides and passed so if that's an option for you, take advantage of it! hope this helps...sorry if its not much, i know what its like to be behind and in deep do do!

mmkay so i have the biggest boobs in my grade and guy sare always looking at them instead of my face. adn it rele bothers me. is there anything that i could do to make them stop? i mean like my friend had a pool party and i had to stay in the water the entire time cuz guys wouldnt stop. it rele bothers me.i mena likke sum guys only like my boobs and not me.

wear things that dont show 'em off! my friend got a shirt with an arrow that says "my face is up here". wrap a towel around you, wear something less revealing and smack the guys who do that to you.

how do i find good friends (who are not boring) in college if i'm shy and maybe slightly weird?
i'm female, 17

break from you shyness and get involved in clubs that do weird things you enjoy doing! i know a guy who is in a juggling club...its kinda weird but at least he knows a bunch of people who enjoy juggling too!

I was wondering what kind of laptop is best for a 13 year old (me!). I'm going to be using internet a lot, and I don't need it for portable purposes. It's just going to stay in my room. Of course I need word and all that junk. I also want one thats attractive! And I was also wondering if you can get them in colors or if not put like color plates (like cellphones) on them? I want it to look cute and OF COURSE has to be functional!

i have a toshiba... its pretty basic and easy to use (atleast it is for me..) it has a chrome/silver top and its pretty attractive. and functional. haha! good luck finding one you like!

I learn about sex through sex education websites, such as sites for teenagers, and I'm consintly sharing such information with friends so that they will not do something wrong when they get infected or something. I taught everyone how to put on condoms, take them off correctly, and although my friend recieved the information gratefully, she thinks that I would only know this because I watch porn. Naturally, there are pictures but they are of infections and such. What do I do to convince them that I DO NOT watch porn (even though it is a healthy thing, I still don't), and that I don't have such access to it?

well actually i got some of my anatomy lessons from my friend and he got it from a teen health book when we were younger. show them where you got it. i mean really, you canfind it prety much on any site and it doesnt mean porn...(that would mean that everyone watches porn!) show them the history on your computer maybe?

So, homecoming is coming up in about three weeks. My friends have all dates, we know what restaurant we might want to go to... but i dont have a date. I wanted to ask one of my guy friends [who's really cute] but he was planning on either going with another girl or not going at all... so there went plan A. I don't have many guy friends that I'm comfortable with going to a dance with, seeing that i've never been to a dance, ever in my life, except for summer camp. And i've only slow danced once, with a foreign exchange student. So it can be deemed that i'm not experienced whats-so-ever.
Aside from the question of "how do i get a date within two weeks?" [not three because i need time to buy a dress], there is another issue. There's this guy who's in about almost all of my classes and he lives down the street from me [which i did not know till this year]. And all my friends are pushing for me to go with him to coronation. Even though i've been saying that i wouldnt go with him, i'm kind of siding with the fact that i dont have a date and i need one... but i know if i should ask or not. I would much rather be asked than ask. But i dont know if he'd want to go with me especially when one of my friends asked him about asking me [at the football game and i was there too], he pretended to gag.... and i cant ask guys out...i asked one of my guy friends to coronation as a joke, and i couldnt even spit it out for like five minutes...talk about pathetic. Can anyone give me some help?

i had the exact opposite happen to me...all my friends are going stag! one of my friends sisters wen to PROM alone...you don't need a date. any upperclassman will tell you that only freshmen think they need a date to dances. BUT i do understand that going alone with a bunch of couples has to suck! when your with the stalker guy, ask him to go with you! lol "hey stalker, wanna follow me to homecomming?" (wink) or write him a note in a class...dont make it like too much just a few simple words, thats it. let me know if you need anything else!

Our homecoming is coming up and i have my eyes on someone that i want to ask me. but one of my best guy friends likes me and keeps hinting that he is going to ask me, but i don't want to go with him cause i see us as just friends. What should i do?

if your guy friend brings it up, try to make him ask someone else... " what about that beckie girl that sits behind you in science? i dont think she has a date yet.." and for the other guy...flirt like crazy. but word of advice, if your friend asks you, go with him as friends. i turned down this one guy and didnt get asked out by the guy i wanted...i didnt get to go at all.

Ok, i haven't gotten my period since middle JULY. My mom is getting worried but i keep saying nothings wrong. BUt im not so sure. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

hahaha my friend gets hers every other month (shes had it for like 2-3 years tho) and her mom thought she was pregnant and got pretty mad. its normallllll!! my other friend hasnt had hers since begining of august so it your at a HEALTHY weight for you body type and eat, you are fine. if you are sick, underweight, on a diet or overly active (3 hours swimming plus 2 hours of soccer daily, for example), then you have a problem.

i have cryed myself to sleep for the past 2 years EVERY single night. i cry out of nowhere and get upset for ansolutely no reason at all (that i know of) no matter how hard i try to be i'm barely ever happy. i don't bother people about this because i don't even know what's going on so why tell them unless i know what it's about. i used to cut and i've counted 51 noticable scars from it but i've stopped my old habits for my boyfriend. i'm not one of those people who like to bother others about my life and my problems because i don't like having people constantly worry about me or think that somethings going on in my personal life. there are some people i can talk to about this but they would worry and i can't stand it because i dont want to be the person people are always worried about. but i cry every single night for no reason most of the time and i try so hard not to but i can't hold them back.. i don't understand myself anymore

well if you dont want to burden your friends, talk to a counselor or someone whose job is to help people like you. i think its a disorder but im sure it can be treated in some way. try to not cry tonight...think of all those people that love you!

ok i want to exercise but i have bad asmta what can i do that can help with fitness
thanks in advance

get a prescription to help with the asthma then do some easy things like crunches or sit ups where you can take breaks when you need them. a bunch of runners have it but i wouldnt recommend it.

how do u slowdance with a guy? in gradeschool we would just put our arms around his neck and he would put his hands on our waist, and we had to keep like a foot apart lol. how do you slow dance in highschool?

its the same as in grade school cept since there arent as many rules (or cooties) you're closer or if your together the guy is behind you with his arms around your waist. thats just what i've seen, it could vary.

how come when i ask a question that serious and i wanna know an answer people give me these stupid rude bitchy answers? Like go do ur mom or loser etc,. Why do they do that is thei life to bad that they have to make some one elses worse? Thanks

some people are just plain rude. i mean sometimes the sarcastic comments are funny and brighten up my day but there are times where, i agree, are totally rude and unacceptable. report it if its really bad, if you can handle it then just dont listen to them.

i like this kid. he is my ex-bf's best friend though. me and my ex went out for one year and he doesn't like me that much. i've had a crush on this kid since the day i met him. the kid i like always flirts with me. one day me, the kid i like, my ex and some people all went out to the movies. i sat next to the kid i like and next to him was my ex. me and the kid i like were flirtin durin the movie. my ex saw us and got really mad. i think my ex talked to his best friend (kid i like) and talked to him about me. the kid still flirts with me. but one day i asked the kid out and he said he only likes me as a friend. i think he likes me alot more than that and alot of people agree with me. i think the only reason he said that is bcuz of my ex. what should i do about that?

these are some things the kid does: do u think he likes me?
-calls me all the time just to talk about random things -hugs me alottt -trys to sit next to me on the bus -talks to me online all the time -finds a way to be next to me -asks me to go to the movies and out to dinner every week -if he goes out with his friends he invites me to go along -looks at me all the time durin class -smiles at me alot-if i'm sad he talks to me till i'm happy - trys to be friends with all my friends -trys to be next to me all the time -saves a seat for me durin lunch and right next to him -trys to make me laugh -continues much more-

im thinkin this kid likes you too! but since he is your ex's best friend, he might not wanna go with you even if you both like each other. in the mean time, hang out with him, show him how much fun you two could have and later down the road when your ex isnt being a d*ck, you can go out with him. be patient my friend. goodluck & thanks for asking!

P.S. I rate

it seems your mom wants to know about this stuff and wants you to come to her if you have it and such. tell her that you will tell her when you actually get it. thats pretty much all you can do.

alright, so my birthday is comin up in the beginning of november. i want to have a party because i haven't had one since i was like 12 (im turning 15 now).. i had an idea for a party bus but i'm gunna save that for my 16th birthday. and i was thinking about having just a big party at my house, but i dont want my parents to be there ..so does anyone know of any good places to have one?

hey my birthday is the beginning of November too! not that anyone remembers... i was thinking going to a local park and reserving a shelter and just kinda hanging out there or having my party on one floor and getting my parents to stay on another. I dont think its legal to have one without parents...they could get in some deep shit if anything bad happens. so just don something and ask your parents to not get too involved.
