I'm a junior in high school, and it's now 2nd quarter. The past few weeks I haven't cared about my grades, and I don't know why. And, so they slipped. Now, I'm caring a lot more. I just need some good study habits to help me. What can get me motivated to study and do realy well on tests and homework? Anything good will help me. Thanks! (link)

Do you know what kind of field you're interested in working in after high school? If so, get some leaflets/pamphlets/brochures on colleges that offer courses and programs in that field, and look at them when you need some inspiration.
That's what I do, I want to be a pastry chef, so I look at the Johnson& Wales cooking school pamphlet and see all the soon-to-be chefs pursuing their dreams and it gives me a clear image of who and where I want to be. Homework is the way to get there hehehehehe!!!
Good luck!!

So I'm gay not like flaming gay, but gay none the less... Last night was our homecoming dance and I brought a date which was a guy... I slow danced with him and everything and apparently everyone was looking at us because my friends warned me that I might get some shit on monday about it... what should I do? (link)

I think you've got to make absolutely certain inside yourself how you feel about your sexual orientation. What I mean is, how do you feel about being gay? If you feel fine with it inside yourself, you'll be prepared to deal with all the curious questions, awkward glances, rude gestures, hateful remarks, and everythingelse that comes with being officially Different :P!

I'm in algebra this year (8th grade)
I'm actually pretty lost, I'm a straight A student, except for the fact that I have a C in math. My teacher last year didn't do much teaching and we played around most of the year, this is leaving me more behind.
So, I pay attention in class, ask questions, and do the homework, but I still don't get it! Its very hard for me to pay attention because my teacher has a very southern accent and it drives me insane and she can't pronounce alot of words. She has one student teach the class also, which is annoying, just because she likes that student.
When I go in for extra help, she gives me a worksheet and tells me do complete it, then she leaves the classroom! She doesn't even explain it!
My parents keep suggesting a tutor, but it hasn't happened yet. Any other suggestions as how to bring up my grade? (link)

It seems like your teacher isn't the best candidate for extra help, so I'd go with the tutor your parents are pushing for. The worst that could happen there is that you and the tutor aren't a match, and you get a different tutor.
Good luck!!

I’m Not that Smart.
Or though I don’t feel smart.
I used to go to a school, But for some reason people teased me.
I guess because of my fazes. Let me explain that.
In forth grade I was gothic once,
And I used to Love cats,
Then once another time I was like a boy. I used to always have different personality’s.
I don’t know why. But I don’t do that anymore. I guess either I wanted attention or I couldn’t figger out my identity yet. But anyways, So I guess that’s why people think I’m as though “Weird” as they say it.
But in other schools people love me. I am actually popular in schools I don’t even go to. Now I am homeschoold sense the teasing continued sense I was little I guess that’s why. All I want right now is to go to a different school. I know kids would like me and all.
I even BEG my mom and dad to but they say there is no reason to it. I think My dad once said kids wont change and I wont be whatever. But He doesn’t understand that Im not going through my fazes anymore. I can change. And when he said that, I felt as if he had no faith in me or any less they wont even try getting me to another school. And its not just me its my brothers and sisters too.
One of my sisters is in the hospital she is crazy but that is another story,
Another one of my sisters cuts herself because she hates the school as much as I do, and the strange thing is she was popular there before now she hates it. My brother doesn’t like it, and my other brother doesn’t count because he’s in the elementary school. I would just love just to start over. But I don’t know how to get them to even think about it.
Another reason is Im really not smart. Im super bad at math and Social studys.
The reason I am bad at soacial is I think-Its done and over. But Im going to try harder on that. The reason I’m bad at math? There is no reason I’m just not good.
I think that’s another reason why they wouldn’t sen me to another school.
They don’t think Im smart enough.
And I might accualy agree with that.
In the other school I had to take special edd math and social.
Sometimes I accualy feel mental.
Because In my work books I cant even do 6th grade math (Im in 7th)
But if I try to get smarter would they budge?
The main reason I think is that they don’t think the kids will change.
Which they probroly wont.
But I can. Noone would know about my past I could start over. A new life. But nomatter what I say They always make it seem whrong. Well, That’s basically it. Can you please answer? I know its long and I appreashiate you reading this much of other peoples problems. Thanks!

You can do anything you put your mind to. I'm not good at math either, but I'm in tutoring, and it's very important that you remember that someone somewhere gets this, and they've got two arms and two legs and a brain just like you do, they're not super-human. You can do it, you've just got to try harder than they do, just like they have to try harder at a subject that doesn't come naturally to them that you're good at.
Study harder, so your parents will see that you're making an effort and making progress as well, and then when you ask to be sent back to a brick-and-mortar school, they'll have a reason to believe you'll do well there.
As for the issue of other kids, you seem to know how to behave in a way that makes you popular among your peers, I think you'll do just fine now that you've settled into your personality.
Good luck!!

I like my brother's friend (17 years old), and he's really nice to me (says things like "You're magic" and "You're on fire") and he always opens my doors.
But he doesn't look at me much (unless he's talking to me)...even when he's sitting directly across from me, or when it's just me, my brother, and him. When I point something out to my brother, he looks at where I point but doesn't look at me.
By the way, he's very outgoing.
So, why doesn't he look at me? I'm not sure if he hates or likes me. And, could he like me? (link)

Well, I think he likes you back, but in either case, do you really want to be the first one to *approach* the other? For example, if he has mutual feelings for you, and you approach him one-on-one, wouldn't it look desperate? And if he's just being nice without any special interests involved, you'll feel like an idiot telling him how you feel.
I think you should stay cool, don't try to push things. If he's interested enough to risk pissing off your brother just to be with you, let him be the one to say it. That way, you never put yourself out on a limb.
Good luck B-)!!
