Club News:

Fleurettes- Take back the school events.
Dear Peyton and Alex...
- To get help you could go to the school counselor or a private counselor. Those will help you so much. Or you could even ask a trusted adult to either help or bring you to the counselor.
I would like advice on... "beginning with the end in mind". Basically this means how to not procrastinate. How do I get help on not being a procrastinator?
- It's really simple. If your teacher assigns you a project or homework, try and do it as soon as possible. Don't wait till the last minute or else it'll stress you out.
I would like advice on... how to get a girl named Erin to be my girlfriend because I think she is pretty cute?
- Well the main thing is to be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone your not because girls hate that. Bring her little things like buying her snack, bringing her snack, or even holding her backpack. All girls find those things to be sweet and nice and that will defiantly bring her more into her liking. Also, talk to the girl, don't be shy because girls can be taken if you don't talk to them. So just take a deep breath and go talk to the girl.
I would like advice on... how to keep up with my homework/schoolwork?
- Try using your planner. It can help you plan out what days you have homework and what schoolwork you need to catch up on.
