Becoming Confident

Some people are born shy, very shy. But others are born fearless and full of confidence. Good friends support you when you need it, and that can always make you more confident. But sometimes if there is no friend around to help. When those hard and lonely times come, tell your self all of these things:

• Your an amazing person! Don't let an audience or a bully make you think otherwise!
• You can do anything if you try your hardest!
• Even if you don't win or get a standing ovation, the best thing is that you tried your hardest and that's the most you can ask for!
• You have family and friends who, even if they aren't here right now, support you with all their heart!

So shut out that voice who is telling you you can't do or it you'll make a fool of yourself and refresh your brain with positive thoughts that will make you and your peers happy and confident! Winning or losing isn't your game, your confidence and happiness is!

Sportless

Do you like to play any sports? I have always thought that being able to play some kind of sport is good for you. especially when you have FUN playing it. Some people play to many to handle, some people play none at all. My advice to all of you is that playing a sport is fun, keeps you fit and is healthy for you. As we get older and keep growing you need to make sure that you can make healthy choices. To the people who don't play any sports I suggest try a few. You never know if you'll like or dislike something. Here are some good sports to try out this summer:

• Soccer







• Baseball







• Basketball







• Volleyball







• Football(brace yourself if you try this one)







• Tennis







• Dodge ball







• Swimming
  

The possibilities are endless, and it may take a while to find one you like. But when you have a good sport and you like to play, you can get really good and it can help you in almost anything. Even school!
And to the people who are like me that has SO many favorite sports, do what I did: find the one sport that you excel at and makes you feel good. You can have more then one; I am not saying it's a bad thing. I love every sport I've ever played. But it's a great idea to focus on one or two sports for your benefit. Also, too many activities can make you tired and not want to do anything.

Alright, so all you guys find your strengths, don't limit or expand to much and keep enjoying the summer!

Moving Out

Moving to a new house can be hard, stressful, and upsetting. Even if your just moving around the corner! I know from personal experience. All day your going and getting stuff from the old house, it either super hot or super cold, everything is everywhere and you are BORED!!! Plus, there may be no Internet for blogging! Anyway, you think that its so terrible now, but just wait. Once you are settled in and comfortable, it will be the best thing you have ever done. You will be in a cleaner bigger house or apartment and I am sure you'll be happy. Summer's here and maybe you will meet some nice neighbors. The best thing to do in the process of moving is work hard stay strong and remember that when its all over, you know you'll be happy.

Thank you everybody!

Little Late, Kate

I know I haven't posted in such a long time! I never have anytime doing school work! But you know what? Advice giving KATE needs advice. This will not be a contest, but still try your best!

I, Kate Ask, am losing a REALLY, REALLY good friend. Actually, you might know her. Her name is Kel. She is moving to another state, pretty far from me, and I am really, really sad. I know I will still see her a lot, but I might not. I need advice. She has comforted me a lot so much, I want to also thank her for being my best friend.

Yours Truly,

Been awhile... Here's some advice for you!:)

It has been along while, hope you all enjoyed the Christmas vacation! I received this comment from strings of fun:

Dear Kate,
I am still having problems with my mom and sister what do I do? They blocked me from face book and i can't even go to basketball or mutual. Every time i do something that is not Right I get yelled at by my mom. I just wish that she could see how truely sorry i am and that she could also see that i am giving this UTVA program 110% not then is it to much to ask for? Please, Please Help me. I don't know what to do and i am stressed out because of finals and i just feel like giving up right now. What do you think that i should do? Need help right away

I understand what you are going through completely. A lot of stress and your family is some how against you. The best thing to do is instead of keeping these problems inside of you is to tell your family. Tell your mom how you are feeling, that your upset she is seems angry with you when you try your best. They'll understand if you just talk to them at a nice quiet time, try not to yell at each other. I sometimes have these things with my mom too, I know its hard. Just go and talk to your mom and tell her what you are thinking and feeling. She'll understand:)

Parents will be Parents

Hey Kate,


What do you do about protecting privacy from a parent? Why do I get yelled at by my mom when i fail a quiz or a test? Please tell me what to do about it and how i can do better.Lilly





Lilly, Your mom is just trying to make sure that you end up with a good future! She wants to see if you are doing okay! Parents need to make sure that you are doing okay in school, and your social life. And there should be nothing that you should be embarrassed about to have your mom know. She's your MOM! If you ever need help or have a problem, tell her. If you don't, she will see you are having a hard time, so she will want to see whats going on. She is not trying to be nosy she just wants you happy and have a good future!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Babysitting

Well,as a good babysitter you should make sure the kid is safe. The to make them happy. Here are a few things:

• Support them


• Be interested


• be kind


• follow their regular schedule


• don't bully them

Those are the main things. Do your best and you never know.......

Talents

Talents are something you are able to do. You may be very good at it, or want to be. You may feel very sad because you are still making the same mistakes. But the only way to get better is to practice. Set up a time schedule and follow it on the time your supposed to be practicing. Try and learn new ways to do it it or ways to help you. Who knows, may be you will turn out to be really good at it. And remember this: ask someone if you need help. Don't feel ashamed of asking. They cold help you a lot.
