okay! I've been going to a somewhat private school for most of my life. I haven't been to a public school since first grade. And now going into eighth grade I'm starting at a public school. I am very very nervous and have no idea what it's going to be like. Can anyone help me with anything? Like on the social groups and things like that.

thanks in advance for the advice!

the first thing you need to do, is find some off your privite school friends there if you have any at that school. what you need to know is that everyone there is as nevous as you are. plus you really dont have to worry about finding friends that much (some but not alot). These kids have seen the same people since preschool, when you walk in there they will adimatically want to talk to you, but you have to make the first move like find a nice person to sit next to (possibly the same gender) and say "hi, im new here just came from this really boring bording school, and i need to know were the cafeteria is, please will you help me?", the you can ask were the bathrooms are or if they play any sports. soon theyll ask you to sit with them and you can introduce yourself to the table and find a whole bunch of people to talk to, just try to take it easy and let yours and there questions flow. make sure to have fun and be yourself, and just think if they dont like you someone else will.

i hope you have a great time


i was the prson who ate the cheesecake and whatnot and gained like 3-4 pounds from one night

the day that i sent in the question i went running for 3-4 miles and
ate sushi and low fat ice cream (and water)
i probably did have too much of that though

through out the day though when i weighed myself the number did go down to 115 after awhile

the next day (yesterday)
i went running in the morning for 1-2 miles
then had work (which is a camp that involves little kids)
so that must have burned something
went to the gym for an hour (one class is supposed to burn like 700 calories)
then went running again for another 1-2 miles
the only food i ate (which was in one meal) was
a piece of low fat chicken (300 calories)
salad with low fat dressing (300)
and some turkey in light honey mustard (300-400?)

i get on the scale this morning to find that im still 119

if im eating a lot less then sweating myself to death with working out, why am i not back at my normal weight? (115) (link)
first of all you need to stay calm on this subject, wieght isnt everything. plus your body needs time to recover and to lose the fat. what you should do is target the areas you want to lose that fat at, then find workouts for those areas. and with all the exerciseing your doing your building mussel which wieghs more then fat, but makes you look lieghter. your gaining mussel and burning fat. it takes three days to see any wieght lose (at least) and you will only see the amount you did that day. you will hold water if you are a girl and will see some bloating. if you want to lose wieght fast you need to eat lean foods and go for endurence running not distance. if you want to gain mussel you will need to eat more lean meat.

my father is a bioligist and i am a workout junky, so i hope this helps

I had a great teacher in my old school, I still live in the same town, but I changed schools.
I hadn't seen the teacher for a year, until last week I went to pick up some stuff that I ordered, and stopped at Starbucks. There he was (I'll name him Simon to make things easier) and I was happy to see him, he turned around and he was all happy and smiling and said ''Hey, name, I haven't seen you for over a year!'' and yes we hugged.
I'm almost 16, and he's a young teacher, I think about 24. We sat in Starbucks for about 6 hours, drinking and talking, and I found out that he's not with his girlfriend anymore and I don't know...I just like him so much.
He's always been relaxed. Like when I was going through shit times, I started smoking (I quit, and I'm proud :) ) and once I was sitting in the park near our school smoking and tears running down my face. He sits next to me, I tell him about all the shit that happened, and he helped me sort everything out.
I basically have no secrets from him, and since that day at Starbucks, I've seen him again twice.
We kiss each other on the cheek to say hello and bye, but practically no other physical contact.
I have fun with him, and I care for him..and I know so much about him but if any of my friends knew..well they'd be jealous cause he's pretty good looking, but I'm not sure what they'd think.
He is an ex teacher, but my friends still have him as a teacher.
I've only told my best friend from my new school, and she thinks it's cool, but she said that if he was one of her teacher, and knew that he was kissing me, she'd feel really uncomfortable.

And is it illegal...that's my main concern?
He taught me for a year, and now I go to a different school. I'm almost 16.

So confused and lost.. (link)
im sorry to tell you this but yes it is illegal to be with him. i know that it feels like you and him are on the same level and you too seem to be good friends but this wont work out right,at least for now. he is first and foremost your teacher plus he is older then you. i think you two need to cool off right now. He is older so he probably thinks of you as a younger sister, kissing on the cheeks and hugging is all that you too will probably do, nothing sexually related. the biggest problem here is that if you two do start a relationship he will be in trouble with the school, teachers and the law, if you have any feelings for him at all you will keep him in the "really good" friend zone untill your 18. just enjoy each other for now and wait to start a relationship. but if he wants to start something with you (physically) you need to tell him "i feel the same way, but i wont risk your way of life, i really care about you so i am putting you first and we can just wait to start a relationship till im 18. just wait and i promise i will too" then smile and leave so he cant get any ideas of what to say back but stay friends with him (call him the next day to ask him about homework, and have a good talk). More likely though he just thinks of you as a friend so, be nice to him and have a good time (as friends).
i understand your position completly and i no things will be akward for a bit but if you keep trying to be friends he'll stck around.


I like this guy but my sis tryed to hook us up then he said no because i dated his bro and he sait it would be oquard but i got money to go out with his bro and i never liked him but what do i do i am so depressed i wont do any thing like work. (link)
ok, the first thing you need to do is talk to the guy, you cant have a relationship if you first dont establish a relationship with him. Then you need to explain with him that (in a kind way) you were never really interested in his brother that way and that you went on a couple dates with him to help someone out (DO NOT SAY YOU WERE PAYED!!!). Talk to him in a hallway 3 times then give him your number, say "just so we can finish our conversation" you should talk with him for at least 30 minetes (in one phone call) but make sure this isnt you first phone call with him. you can then bring up a group thing, and invite him, if he comes you can invite him to dinner with you, your sister and her boyfriend. And finally if that all goes well you can ask him to the park or mall with you as just friends (dont stess the words just friend otherwise he may think you dont like him), and eventully you can make a move on him like taking his hand or hugging him for something he did to make you happy. Then you ask him on a date. sry it is so long, but you have to fix alot!


what is a good chapstick that actually has a flavor? i bought some dr. pepper chapstick today and it doesn't taste like anything. :( (link)
they have some really good chapstick that you can find in any korger, it is made for bee honey, and some tastes like pepermint and pomergranit. Its called burts bees heres the site http://www.burtsbees.com


I think I avoid getting close to people. I know everyone for the most part would like my personality, but sometimes I'm just so low on energy that I don't care about enjoying the moment...I always wait around for "next" time. Which never comes. How can I use my energy more effectively? (link)
there is nothing wrong with you, you just have to understand that. If you have problems with that, you just need to understand that sometimes the moment isnt interresting to YOU and that sometimes you cant force yourself! Make the moments exciting by picking up on little things that you enjoy, like you can say, if i get through this smileing ill have icecream later. give yourself somoething to look forward to and youll be excited for that. you can even use a boy/girl that you have a crush on to work through the problem like have a friend invite then along or promise yourself that you will talk to them at your locker later, that will give you enough butterflies in your stomich for a heck of a good day. But if you try the crush idea make sure you still talk and pay attention to who your with at the time.

i Know what it feels like.
