In this situation I would think that when I think about the past I would remember something's that could help me now in school. Thinking about how could I get my grades higher I could study every night and read books to help me keep my grade where it is right now. Studying is very important for students and teachers it helps us know what we will do in the future.

Dear Mr.Smith this is Jasmine from you're 2nd block class, and just last week at open house I was in a situation. I couldn't figure out if I wanted to be in Chorus or music appreciation. So my mom walked me out side for a minute and she talked to me to see which one I want to do. So she made me make up my mind about what I wanted to do,I said I want to stay in music appreciation. Every sense that day, I felt so much better because she made me stop and think about what I wanted to do. And every sense then I've been thinking about what I want to do before i do it.

In my past when I couldn’t make up my mind about Chorus, I was being crazy. Because I love to sing a lot and I do it a lot. Maybe I’m not the singing type because I can’t even stand in in front of the class and do math problems on the board. In math when I’m

I have been in situations where i want some people help but i can but i can never get no help. I been in so many situations that i have learned to get over it. I will just let the situation slip on by so i do not have to worry about a lot of things. The situations i been in have been long gone but i still trying to find out how to get over it. In that situation it would be just me looking for an opinion I would look at all of my references i have in hand.

Last year, at the beginning of the school year, a friend told me a secret and I was in the position of telling someone(teacher), or losing my best friend. I decided to tell the teacher about it and after that, she (the friend) didn't speak to me for a long time. What do I do next? What do I say to her? How do I explain myself to her? What if she doesn't forgive me? Should I have told that secret?

I always have times where I don't know what to do in a situation, whether it be what to wear or something more intense than that. Sometimes I will ask my mom for advice on which one to pick, but also sometimes she is not around for me to ask for her advice so I just have to choose on my own. A really good example is when a long time ago, I did not know whether I wanted to play softball or do gymnastics. I started out at a gymnastics place called Deeno's. I did a bunch of tumbling classes. Then I played a year of rec softball.

I have been in a lot of situations where I wished someone could help me decide on what to do.When you don't know its really hard to figure out how you are going to choose. Last summer,I had to make a decision on where I wanted to spend my summer. I could either spend it all with my mom or with my dad. I really wished that I could have had help making the decision because I didn't know where i wanted to go.I thought about all of these good things in my head about staying with my mom and a lot about going to my dads. I also had to write a list of cons because there's things that I can do at my moms like hang out with friends, that I can't do at my dads house.

One time i needed help and advice on how to take care of fish because i used to have a lot of fish to take care of. They kept dying for no reason no matter what i did. I was like 10 and i cared about those fish. Having those fish die was a heartbreaking experience. I couldn't find any help because no one i knew actually knew much about fish, so i quit.

Last school year I needed to choose three connection classes for my 8th grade year. You only get two but you choose three. I didn't know which ones to choose. The only class I knew for sure I would like is S.T.E.M.. I still needed two more choices. I had already had gym and ag for two years, so I thought I would choose something else. I didn't know much about any of the other classes. I need advice.

What are you supposed to do when one of your best friends is involved in something the shouldn't be? I suggest just report to your teacher anonymously for there safety if they really are involved with things bad enough to get them hurt.

My mom told me are you out of your mind!! And i responded no I wanted to try something new in my life. So I went and got a few privet lessons at the local golf course in Rincon.

The situation of which happened is back in the 4th or 5th grade. when we had just been able to participate in 4-H, and the Rock Eagle summer week camp was now available to go to over the summer. I had to figure out how to get the money or at least close enough to make it by the due date. There were, I believe 3 or 4 payments due and each were 100 dollars each, so in order for this to work I would have to work with my dad or just face not going. So of course I dedicated to work with him. since Rock Eagle was on the I think 4th or 5th week of summer I would have exactly that to work up that money.

Dear Advice Columnist: One year ago, I went to the Peanut Festival with my brother, dad and stepmom. We lost my brother at the festival. We were all in a panic and very upset. I had two choices, let dad handle the situation or call my mom and let her know what was going on. I was afraid if I called her that my dad would be upset and if I didn't call her, she might be upset.

This was back two years to my 6th grade year of middle school. I had to decide wether I wanted to try out for track or not and I really wanted my parents to help me make my decision. I was debating wether I was fast enough for track and wether or not I would make it. I also would not know anyone on the team if I did try out. I didn't know what I was capable of running, if I could run short or long, or do field events.

I have been in situations in which friends and family have wanted to do something and I knew it was the wrong thing to but i didn't know what to do or tell them. What if your in a position where your friend or family gets hurt or in trouble for the thing that u and them knew that was wrong you would be devastated that you didn't tell someone about it. I suggest that you tell someone that they can talk to the person that's fixing to do that horrible thing. Therefore, you need to do something to keep them from getting hurt or in trouble because if that happens to you because you will feel guilty about what you let happen.

One day in the 5th grade I had to make a situation that no kid should make at my age, but I had to make a decision either to go live with my mom or my grandma . I had no clue what was better for me because I have been with both for my whole life and didn't want to leave either one.My mom wanted to move far away . I wish I would of had someone their to help me choose what one was better for me. After a while my mom told me I had two weeks to make a decision either to go with my mom or stay here with my grandma . Didn't want to go with my mom because I didn't want to leave all my friends and be in a new school alone .I whish my mom would just stay here, but she wanted to move and start a new life . After two weeks past I decided to move with my mom because I thought I would get to meet new people and start a new life as well but after two mouths passed I whish I would of made a different decision because things started to go down hill and I didn't like it . I asked my mom if I could move back whit my grandma she didn't like it but she decide that I can and she took me back I miss her but I knew what was better for me . after couple weeks when I got settle back in things stared to go back to the right way for my life .All I have to say to people who went through this is that make a decision that you think would be good for you.

The only problem I had with school was when I was in seventh grade and some people do stuff they shouldn't. For example, talking at wrong times and playing where they shouldn't. Sometimes they are my friend and I don't know what to do. Should I tell on them or should I not do anything? One time he kept tapping on my shoulder and when I told him to stop I got in trouble for talking. That is why I do not know if I should tell or not?

Hello Mr.Smith you know me now I don't have to introduce myself. .So my situation involves a boy on my bus. We really barely talk to each other because we didn't like each other. When ever we do talk we both get wrote up for no reason. I never liked my bus driver at all anyways. So I had to ask myself "How can I find a way to never talk to this boy any more?". So I went to my mentor and asked him for some wisdom. My mentor has been through a lot of stuff and has way more wisdom than me. That's why he is my mentor so I can be more like him "character wise". Anyways I went to him for some advice. We talked about it and he told me to think of it in a different way. If he says something to you just act like he's invisible. I was young then . I didn't know any better. I kept trying to tell him I couldn't do it and the next day I tried it and it worked. The reason I did it in the first place was because he believed in me. To this day that same man is still my mentor and I thank him for that.

When I was in 6th grade I was faced with a huge problem when I lived in Japan. I was spending the night at my friend's house and at around 1a.m. in the morning we were texting with some of our really good guy friends and then they asked us if we wanted to meet up in front of her house and hang out. Now, keep in mind that Japan is a VERY safe place. My friend asked me if I didn't mind going with them, and I could tell that she really wanted to hang out with them, so I agreed. We snuck outside and meet up with them. It was about 2 a.m. and my friend brought up idea to let them come inside her house. I didn't really know what to think. I didn't want to get in caught so I said no but they didn't listen to me. They ended up coming with us into her room. I needed advice and fast. I decided to pretend like I was sleeping and so I hopefully wouldn't get in trouble if we did get caught. I knew it wasn't a very nice thing to do. But in the end we didn't get caught.

So i didnt know if i wanted to choose linebacker or defensive lineman or defensive end, etc. So we went to go practice and i played all of the positions but i liked all of them. So i had to ask myself which one do i like the most. It was a hard to choose which one. So i asked different people which position to play. But in the end i finally choose linebacker.

I am 12 years old and I am starting to play 12 and under softball. A really big part of 12 and under softball is pitching. I have always thought that pitchers really stood out on the softball field. They are kind of like the focal point of the softball field. I would really love to learn how to pitch. The reasons that I would like to be a pitcher is because they are very important to the team and they are kind of like a team leader in some ways. I know that there are many pitching coaches in the Effingham County area. They are all great. I do not know who to choose. I'm not sure who has the most experience, successful pitchers, or pitchers that they are training to become successful pitchers. I know that there are many different pitches that I would need to learn. Some examples are the number one pitch the fastball, the change up, drop ball, rise ball, curve ball and much much more. I would love to one day be able to throw all of these pitches consistently. I know that it takes time, commitment, and hard work. I am all up for it! So if you know what I would need to do, who is the best coach, and what to work on I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!

Ok so one time me and my cousins were playing a game. The game was that you had the ride the bike at a tree and jump off at the last second. So I jumped off but the bike but the bike we were using didn't have those grip things so it was just metal. So when I jumped off the bike and my eyebrow hit the metal, it caused my eyebrow to bleed alot and I did not know what to do.

Last year I was in a difficult situation because I had to choose between continuing soccer or start cheer. I was very confused because I wanted to do both but they both were at the same time. I've been playing for Savannah United for a couple years and everybody on my team was very close to me. On the other hand, I was very flexible, I almost had a back handspring, and I loved basketball cheer but I wanted to try competition and I thought i had a chance of making it.

A experience I had and I needed help finding out the answer to and my parents or friends could not help me with would be I got a pet hamster and I had to take care of it it was my responsibility. I had to feed it clean it's cage and give it water every day. I got tired of doing that every single day so I tried to put it off on my mom and she didn't do it . Then I tried to put it on my brother he didn't do it either. I even tried to put it off on my best friend she wouldn't do it either. So I finally relied that I had to take care of this animal it was mine and nobody else's. So I decided to drop everything I had to do to take care of my animals. Then my brother got a hamster to he wanted to put It on me so I gave him a whole lecture on why I would not take care of his hamster. He did not properly rake care of this animal he was mean I didn't see why he got one and he was only 4 years old. He poked it in the butt with a pencil. My hamster I guess kept swollowing it's seeder chips so when I got home she was as hard as a rock.the same thing happen to my brothers but I died with a different cause. That's my experience when I could not be helped.

When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I was peer pressured to sneak out the house with my two brothers. My oldest brother, Thomas, woke my little brother, Haven, and me up to see if we wanted to sneak out to go on the trampoline. Haven was all for it, but I didn't know. I was thinking in my head, what should I do? I wanted to go and ask mom if we could, but Thomas said no I can't tell them. I wondered why. I had always asked permission to do anything and he did sometimes, mostly about to spend the night off or go hunting or fishing. But I was still wondering why he didn't want mom and dad to know where we were. Haven didn't care he loved the trampoline and I did too, but I didn't want to get in trouble. I was confused on what to do. I kept asking myself, if I don't go I wouldn't be able to play on the trampoline (which that might sound like a dumb reason but hey I was just a kid then u can't blame me for bein a kid) or if I do go then I would be I big trouble? I wished my papa (someone who took care of me when I was little while my mom was working) was here to tell me what should I do?

I had a situation last year a couple of days before school ended. I had to decide if I wanted to stay in the band or quit. I didn't know what to do. I loved to play the songs ,but it got more hard and I couldn't hit the high notes. I also wanted to learn something new in a connections class. The teachers gave us a piece of paper to pick out a connections class to go to. I needed help to decide if I should quit the band or get a connections class that I would like to go to. I couldn't decide ,so I asked my mom for help. My mom said to do what you love. Then I asked her for help to pick out a connections class. She helped me pick out my connections class. Do what makes you happy to be there. If you can't wait to get out of that class then you shouldn't go to it. Mckenzie you should pick somethings that makes you excited or happy. Pick a connections class that you think would be fun to learn new stuff in. Plus even if you don't like it you will still learn something that mate help you in the future.

Last year I had to decide what classes I wanted to take. I could not decide between S.T.E.M. and gym. I decided to ask my Dad’s opinion. He asked which one I wanted to do more. He said which ever one you want to do more do that. So I thought it over and decided to do what my dad said. In the end I decided to take S.T.E.M.

When I didn't know what to do is when I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. I always got grounded because of it when they done something wrong and I had to take the punishment for it because I was with them.

My friend balled his pink slip up and flused it down the toiler. He asked me not to tell anyone because the principal said that if he got another pink slip she would suspend him for a few days. I didn't want hI'm to be suspended so I went on with my day. The next day he was talking about it and it was bothering me.

One day about one years ago two of my best friends we're having a birthday party. At the same time and I really wanted to go to both but I couldn't. So I tried to think of a way I could go to both but I couldn't think. So I thought for a while and finally though of away I could make both of a way to make both of them happy.

Hello Mr.Smith i'm Schilicia A. Cook writing my blog from second period. There has been plenty of times that I was in a bad situation, but this situation most affected me in my life. It feels like sents I've been born; I have been getting made fun of. Day and night and then in school and out of school. I remember one day these mean girls pushed me into the wall they called me all kinds of mean, hurtful names to me. That day I went home crying,but I never showed my mom how sad I was. I was devastated. I did not have anyone to talk to or go to for help,because believe it or not I was shy. I always would ask myself 'sissy are you going to make it though this.' I started looking down on myself. Everything that people said about me ,I took it to heart and started calling my own-self these names. Also at one point were I wanted to take my own life. Then i really though on it and I finally realized that I needed serious help. I started thinking on who I should go to. I did not wanna go to my mom because she already was going through a lot at that time;so I went to my school counselor. She told me a lot of stuff that i needed to hear. After that people would laugh and make fun of me, but I blocked them off. along with that I abated all of my feelings for some people. I know it was mean ,but they did not care about me anyway. A month later people started to stop making fun of me. I gained a little bit more confidence. I LOVE MYSELF EVEN MORE!!!! I moved like a year ago. I was really sad because I never got to say thank you to the counselor.

So one day I had to choose whether I wanted to go to Florida or my mom's house. I had been planning to go to Florida for the past 5 months. But then my mom called me a week before I was supposed to go to Florida, and she wanted me to go to her house. I was so torn between what I was supposed I wanted to do. I wanted to do both things but I know I couldn't. I asked my sister what I should do. I always go to her whenever I need advice.

*other half of blog*if I had the power to change someone's mind in the snap of a finger it would be very handy and if I failed I would ask for an opinion because then I could do better the next time then I won't make any mistakes and that would make me a success so pretty much I would love to take an opinion from a past successer it would make me better in every way possible which would really help me when I get problems in life so I could do better

There are a lot of times where I do not know what to do and need advice. Sometimes on my home work I need advice and then I need advice on personal things also. When i need advice I normally go to my mom but when my mom gives unhelpful advice I go to my best friend. A long time ago I didn't know if I wanted to go cheer or softball, I thought cheer was cool but I tried it out and didn't like it at all. Now I play a lot of softball all the time and have gotten really good. In those situations I make my own decisions.

There was a time were i wasn't sure if i should go to the creek alone or not because my woods are average and i have only been twice when i was in this situation. It was very difficult to debate on if i should go or not. I was thinking for like 20 minutes. I called my friend to see if he wanted to go with me but well he wasn't home.

Honestly I've never really been put in any situations were I needed to ask for advice from an adult. Usually I try to handle things myself, but I will always remember this one situation were I had no choice but to ask for help. So I had this friend, and sooner or later she ended up staying the night with me. We had fun, and did everything a 6th grader would do. Then next day, when she left, I began to notice that some things were missing from my bedroom. I simply ignored it, and carried on with my life.
