texangirl01 answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:41 pm: make time in your day and just take things one at a time...in your free ime just relax and take it easy. But when its time to work then just put forth 110% and you will be fine!!!! [ texangirl01's advice column | Ask texangirl01 A Question ]
xomorganbrittanyxo answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 2:00 pm: that IS alot of stuff to have to worry about. maybe you should drop some of them. now, about the stress, do something that u love to do, not any of those things tho, and so it normally, it might take your mind of things. if u ever get really super stressed out, then just take deep breaths and just relax for about 10min. tell me how things go!

alisonmarie answered Tuesday August 10 2004, 6:43 am: Why are you doing all these activities - are they things you really care about, or things your parents think you should be doing?
If your parents are pushing you to do too much, you should sit down and let them know how you're feeling.
If you are the one who wants to do all these things, you're going to have to see how the year goes. It sounds like you are already pretty stressed, and the answer for you will probably be to focus on only half of those things. Pick what you like best and stick with it - you'll have to prioritize.
You can't be perfect at 30 different things; the more your attention is spread out, the less proficient you'll be in each area. Figure out what's most important to you, what you really LOVE, and then spend your time on it. It won't be stressful because you won't have to be thinking about a zillion other things at the same time. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

LilMia811 answered Monday August 9 2004, 10:01 pm: dont stress about anything. do what you want to do, not what you need to do. if all these activities are stresing you out, then you dont NEED to do shit but what makes you happy. and if doing all that doesnt make you happy, then dont.

Mercy_x_Me answered Monday August 9 2004, 9:48 pm: Truth be it. Listen to calming music more. I'd just say that b/c it lifts some stress off. And let your parents know your doing your best and you want to really do your best but you cant be pushed too far. Keep an agenda and stay exactly on schedule. Study when your supposed too. You cant possibly not make it if you do your homework and study the way and the time the teachers tell you to. Its hard, it sucks, and it will never be EASY... but you'll stick it through. If you want me to recommend some music I will totally let you know. Inbox me or IM x mercy me 14 x ... good luck... and stay organized
