Preparing For Your Period
“I feel very unprepared about getting my first period. I don’t know exactly what happens and I am really worried about getting it at school. I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone about it and I don’t feel comfortable talking to my mom about it ahead of time either. Would I be able to just use a wad of toilet paper instead of a pad for a day until I get home and can ask my mom for one? Where would I keep pads after I did get my period if I had it at school? I just feel uninformed and unprepared and…
Read more…Redesigning Characters
"Do you have any advice on redesigning characters? I have an old one I want to polish up and I'm not sure how to go about it." -Willa While I don’t have a lot of experience redesigning characters visually, I have a bit more experience with reworking characters that I’ve created in pieces of writing. After thinking about your question a little, I think that both crafts tend to come down to the same core pieces, so hopefully my advice will help you out whether you’re looking to work on visual…
Read more…Too Much To Do
“Yesterday I felt overwhelmed because I had more to do than I was used to (Lots of homework, after school activities and dinner). Do you have any tips for girls to feel less overwhelmed when they have a lot to do?” - Anonymous Feeling overwhelmed by long to-do lists is a very common experience, especially as we get older and start taking on more responsibilities and commitments, have more time-consuming homework, etc.—so you are far from alone in this. (It’s certainly something I’ve had to…
Read more…Not a People Person
"Okay i am going to very very clear...I need advice from someone older than me. I am not very much a people person like I don't talk much around other people how would you say I deal with this?" - Anonymous Hi! I’m not very much of a “people person” myself, and am generally very shy and quiet in social settings, so I definitely understand this. As I know firsthand, it can be hard being less socially inclined than those around us… but I’m actually going to start by suggesting that, contrary to…

I am aware that there would be more breaks throughout the year, but for me, that simply wouldn’t work. Summer vacation is really the only time that I can see family members who live far away, because the other breaks are too short to go traveling. Summer vacation is also a break that I look forward to because of how long it is. To me, and many other people in my school, summer vacation is appealing because of its length. For us, it is also the only time we don’t have homework. No matter how many more breaks we would get, we would never have a break from homework, because the breaks would be short enough that there would be more school in the near future. While I am certain that year round school works for many people, I can not see myself being happy in an environment that has no true ‘break’ from school.
