Stressed?
13/f 8th grader. I've been becoming stressed out alot lately.. I don't ever get enough sleep(12:00am? - 6:00am), I'm trying my best to get my homework done and its hard, Trying my best to keep my grades up, also trying to keep doing good in basketball to make the high school team, I'm also trying to get this boy to date me but he is leading me on and everything..I always never get to listen during class cause i'm always trying to get my homework done for the next period! What should I do to help myself out a bit?.. Thanks in advance..

It sounds like you need to organize your life into what is best for you. Set yourself some priorities, and then the rest will follow.
The best thing would be to start off with your school work. Focus on what is being taught right in whatever class you're in, then at the end of the day take all your homework and complete it. Don't hop on MSN or on the phone until you're done, once you have schoolwork out of the way you'll be able to focus on getting the boy's attention or practicing your basketball.
If you can prioritize school first, everything else will fall into place without too much struggle.
Good luck!

You're finally getting to the stage in life where you have to learn to prioritize... congratulations!
So, one thing to keep in mind is that homework is always the most important thing. Do your mandatory stuff first, that way you don't lose any marks. If you can get away with not doing something, like math practise problems, try doing every other one, that way you get the practise without spending all the time.
If you enjoy basketball, think of it as something fun you're doing, sort of like a reward for hard work... that way it doesn't seem like something you have to do.
The other thing to remember is that you're 13, you're still young... so don't worry about dating too much. If it happens, it happens, but it's not a huge deal. I didn't have my first date until I was 15... It seemed like the end of the world at first, but I eventually came to realize that dating takes up way too much time and effort!
Good luck!

first of all, this weekend, get all the missed out homework done, and if you have probelms DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK!!!!
this is the three things you mentioned basketbaal boys and homework in order of importance
1)HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!! this will be what teachers tell oterh school and colleges about, as well as you classwork and behavior so do not under any circumsdtances miss out loads of home work or fall asleep in class!!!!!
2) BASKETBALl, a great way to keep fit and be healthy...keep it up!
3) BOYS while these are important for developing relationship skills and confidence, they do not matter too much right now,
THIS WEEKEND:
do all missed out homework(seen above) and prepare for any tests or whatver the next day. Go to bed ealry( nine thirty) as this is one of the routes to many of your problems and as a teenager your body needs plenty of rest to develope.
wake up a bit earlier than usual so you have time to have a full and balanced breakfast with lenty of carbohydrates as these keep you alert and give you lots of energy for sports such as BASKETBALL HINT HINT)
pay attention in class, and when yo get home,
1) do your homework first thing, after a snack though if yoyu want)
then spend the rest of your time, playing basketball or chilling.
keep this up and do not miss out lots of homework, it should all be written down in a book to remember and done as soon as you get home your not up late doing it. If you dont understand as a paretn/gaurdian/teacher for help or a friend maybe but they might not understand either.
as to the guy thing, try to look nice and AWAKE! talk to him as a friend for a week or two and if he responds then ask him if he wants to do anything this friday(?)
Good luck

ok, i also am a 13/f/8th grader. first of all, go to sleep earlier. its not healthy for girls our age to only get 6 hours of sleep a night. try going to bed at 10:30 or 11. i play soccer, basketball, softball, and volleyball, and i have to juggle all those sports with school and guys too! if you dont have practice that day, do your homework right when you get home from school so you get all of it done. and put your school grades and basketball team first before that boy. if he isnt asking you out, forget about him! move on, and find someone you have more in common with that likes you.
