School Problems

Sometimes school can be difficult for many reasons, and it may affect your grades and your parents may get angry with you. The cause of this may be bullying, not being able to pay attention in class, or just not understanding the material. It's hard to endure mean comments or getting lost in math equations or a history book. But to get through the hard years of school, you'll need friends, parents, teachers, to believe in yourself, and stay positive. Here are the ways to solve your different problems:

1. If you are being bullied in school, you first should try to ignore the bully and not let their mean or untrue comments hurts you. If it continues, then you should tell the bully to stop because what they are doing is wrong. Finally, if they are still not finished with their rudeness, ask a teacher or parent to help. Note that asking for help from a teacher will not make the situation worse as most people believe. Teachers will be sure to help you avoid the bully, and your situation can get a lot better.
2. If you have a problem with paying attention, go to a teacher or parent to help you find ways to learn other than sitting in a classroom. Find websites online that can improve the way you learn. When you are in school, try to find something that helps you pay attention, like maybe find a smooth stone and play around with it while you listen so you don't feel as bored.
3. If you do not understand what the teacher is teaching then go to the teacher for extra help. Find worksheets online to help you, and if a test comes up, study in a way that is comfortable for you. If you still cannot understand, find a tutor who can help you with your school work and help you understand.

Believe and pursue your dreams, and when times are dark try your best to achieve your goals! You can do anything you put your mind to, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Grrr.............mean teachers!!

Sometimes in life we meet people who we just don't like or they just don't like you. It's especially hard when it's a teacher. The thing is you can't yell at them or ignore them or not talk to them. So try your best and not do anything to make them yell at you. Try and write them a card or make cookies for them(say good bye to the best cookie person ever here). If that doesn't work, just tell a parent and may be they can talk to your teacher. Otherwise, try and stand it for awhile. May they just stop.

Auditions, YIKES!!!

go onstage?

Auditioning for plays can be a little scary. Your probably worried about embarrising yourself or you don't like to sing dance or act in front of others. Thats okay!!! The best thing to do is believe in yourself and do your best. Shine as bright as you can, and don't doubt yourself. And if you don't get the part you wanted or you aren't in it that's okay too. You did your best and there is always next time!!!

Switch!

Switching schools!! I'm gonna miss my bffs! Switching schools is a hard thing. You'll be leaving people you like a lot and that you have been with since, WHO KNOWS! But it can also be a nice thing. Meeting new people and learning new learning techniques and the ways of different schools. In my mind, its like practice for life. Someday you will leave your first school when you go to high school or college, and maybe your job. But i know what really bothers you, fitting in. You think if you don't ''fit in'' you'll be bullied. Well, i won't lie, new kids are picked on quite a lot. But, if you hold your head high and just say hello, you'll be making friends soon enough! The kids at your old school liked you, why shouldn't these!(if you do end up as a bully's target, see my other post about bullying)And you can still see your friends at your old school too!!

STOP! That's Bullying!

Bullying, we will never know why they do it. To feel better about themselves is the most common reason. The thing is that the bully's have to target someone. That someone either outshines them or is different from the bully. Big or small or new or brainy, the thing the victim is proud of must become shame. But if you are being targeted and don't know what to do, stand up. If the bully is intimidating you either tell him or her to stop or ignore them and go to an adult and tell them what happened immediately. And if you see someone being bullied help them out. They may not want it, but if they don't stand up, you must. DON'T LET SOMEONE EVER HARM YOU! You are perfect, it's the bully who has the problems.

Phobias!

You might not know what a phobia is. Well, a phobia is something you're really scared of. My phobia is spiders (even though i like Charlotte's web). It could be heights, the dark or whatever. But there is only 1 way to get rid of them. Face them. You have to face your fear and try and get over it. Maybe, say you need help. Ask someone you love to help! Mine is spiders, so maybe my family could go to some spider museum and learn more about them! If it's heights, you could start with the nice and slow Ferris wheel! Maybe, you could end up on a roller coaster (WARNING: if you are feeling sick do not go on a ride like that!) So if your tired of that phobia that's got you scared to death, stand up to it, you may learn to like it!
