Well, what can I say? My name is Sarah. I am currently a junior in high school, and am having some trouble deciding my future. I know I am not the only person with this problem, so I though by helping others I could figure out where I want to go in my future ^_^

Well at ym B-ball practices i really play my hardest and act fun. But when I go to my games i freeze up and play like i dont know what im doing. The play offs are coming up and I dont wanna mess up my team. Im not stage fright or nervous. I just dont play right. Please help or give advice
I used to play basketball, but don't anymore. However, when I did play, it was easiest for me if I just imagined it was a regular practice or that it's not a game. Think about just playing, not about the score or the audience. The way it's sounding to me is that you play best alone, but you need to try playing with other people. If you play with more people, if you get the chance, you might get more comfortable on the court. Or try practicing on a court more, if you can.
well as you know.... iam asking you about friends. iam in grade 8 and i have lots of friends and i think demi linzey jennifer lily kim kelsi sammi and jordana are my best friends..but lately demi, linzey and jennifer have been kinda zoneing(i think thats how u spell it) me out. whats up with them??
The friends that are zoning you out, they could just need some space between them. Eighth grade is a time where there will be a lot of changes, because Ninth Grade starts high school. Try to talk with them about it, if it is true that they want space, be understanding. Make them sure that you will be there if they ever need you.

I have this one friend named Jenna and she is SO sweet but about a month ago, she totally started hanging out with some other people. She still claims to be my friend, but I feel like she has just ditched me. So I told Jenna how I felt and she said she just has a hard time juggling friendships, but it seems like she has ALL the time in the world for her 2 new friends. So what can I do to help Jenna see the light or snap out of what she is doing? Would the silent treatment help at all?
Although she may be changing with her friends, it is best that you don't hold a grudge because of it. In most situations, the friend may "drop" you so to speak, for new friends. The best thing to do is wait it out and make some new friends too. Watch out, make sure you are there for her, in case her new friends "drop" her too. Good luck to you, it will be difficult, but work at it!
ok my friend is really mad at me because we joke around and she took a joke personly so her mom called my mom and her mom told my mom wat i said.now im really in a bad situation /wat shud i do???should i joke around anymore???
sincerly,
xxmystary-girlxx
Although you will always have your jokes to tell and make-up, you might want to think before you speak. Think about what others might think of it or how they might take it. Don't change yourself though, just be more considerate. As for your situation right now, I'd definitely apologize and explain that you were only joking.
[13/f] everyone at my school sees me as a shy person who always follows the rules and everything and thats not at all how i am! i got detention today and this kid saw me in the office [iv'e had detentions before, but i dont brag about it to look "cool" like all the other kids] and he was like "whoa! YOUR in DETENTION??" I feel like everyone knows me for someone i'm not and it's really starting to bug me. i'm not at all how anyone sees me, not even my own friends.. does anyone know how to like idk, show everyone "who i really am"? i know that sounds gay but i don't know how else to say it
Although you want people to see a different side of you, you seem afraid to do it. That would be me as well. Most of my friends saw me as a goody-goody, and I hated it. I was always shy, but once I felt comfortable around my friends I was able to be myself. Maybe all you need to do is wait until you are comfortable before you can show your true side to everyone. Hope that helped.
is it just me?...or is it just the way my friend acts?...or are others like this also?..
there is this girl Angie...ive known her for about 4 years already..theres time where were close, like best friends. but lately shes been so annoying!..i get so irritated by her!..juss things she does!..shes so fake! and just doesnt know how to be herself! and she'll be so loud just to get attention!!...
anyone else hate this about someone?!
Maybe you are becoming irritated because you see too much of her. When you are hanging out, instead of noticing the negative parts right away, try looking for the good things. That should make your experiences more enjoyable and you may forget to notice her annoying habits. YOu could also try putting some space. Don't make it seem like you are trying to push her away, as you could lose her friendship, but just put some space when you guys hang out. That way you can aprreciate her habits all the more and your friendship will be better. Hope I helped ^_^
Hey guys, I always have to have a book to read for my reading class. My teacher calls it our independent reading book. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you could give me the names of some really good books that you've read before. I love reading, and I can't seem to find any good books right now, so I was hoping someone could tell me some good books. I like to read fiction books, mysteries, or something that has to do with romance/relationships in it. If you can, please helpt me out! Thank you so very much! :)
I love reading also.
I read Nicholas Sparks, anything by him is a good read. I own almost all of his books, I am missing one so far.
I also like Erica Spindler-Dead Run. Jonathan Kellerman-The Murder Books, that one is a bit slow in the beginning but if you push past it is really pretty good. I don't know, those are like murder mysteries.
Nicholas Sparks is definitely one I like to read though.
Others I like are Grecian Holiday and Spanish Holiday both by Kate Cann.
I'd suggest going to a bookstore and just browsing all different sections, especially used book stores, you never know what you'll come across!
here is something i dont understand and i sont know if anyone here understands it. Why are we here just why i dont understand it we were put here by god but why it makes no sense. i mean think we live just so we can die it makes no sense so i dont understan why we would be put here by god it makes no sense because one day we could be alive and the next we could be dead just why.
This is a question that no one really has an answer to, or it can'tbe explained. A lot of people share your point of view. In my opinion, we are here to learn and grow. What we pass on to others are our accomplishments and that what makes our life worth living. Not long ago, I used to think life was a waste, that all we do in the end is die. In the end we do die, but it is how we live our life that makes dying all the more worth it, so we can pass our values on to the next generations, so people can go on remembering us. Yes, eventually our names will evaporate and no one will remember us, but someone will, as long as we can affect them in some way. That is, again, my opinion. Hope I helped in some way ^_^
Okay, I have a problem. I don't know if it's normal or not. I guess I'll start out by saying I'm fairly outgoing and loud. Anyways, my friends and I and some other guys went to this guy Micheal's house today. Micheal's a 9th grader (I'm in 8th) and we were there for like 4 hours without his parents home. Anyways, when basically everyone except one other guy had left, we started cuddling on his bed. He was holding my hand and like rubbing his hand on my stomach and stuff while we were watching a movie and earlier we held hands while I was just sitting on the bed and he was on the floor (his matresses are on the floor) and I don't know, I liked him being there with me and doing stuff with him, but I got so nervous! I don't know why, I just felt kind of awkward. Do any of you get this way too?
P.S. Micheal likes me if that means anything for details.

As long as you aren't uncomfortable in a bad way, it is normal. Being nervous is normal too, especially if you like the guy, too. Remember, to be careful and don't be pressured into anything you feel you aren't ready for. There is plenty of time for relationships, right now try and enjoy school, friends, and life. I am not saying stop liking him, or ignore him, just make sure you can control yourself and be prepared to use the word 'no' when you feel uncomfortable, in a bad way. Hope this helped ^_^
I asked one of my close guy friends to prom. he said he doesn't know if he wants to go because he said he can't dance. he also said that dances aren't for him but he said he would think about it. how can i persuade him to take me to the prom?!
Everyone knows prom is a big deal, that it is something you will never forget. Try and compromise with him. Ask him to go, and if he doesn't enjoying himself, you can leave and go somewhere else. Give him options for if he gets bored at prom or doesn't become interested.
