Hey guys!! It's been a while since I've been on here so bear with me while I give yall an update!! I finished 8th grade on May 19th (I know we get out of school earlier than a lot of people lol) and I also turned 14 this month!! I'm going to try to get my permit this weekend, wish me luck!! The leaves on our birch trees came out today, which is definitely something to celebrate. My summer is all booked up with traveling, with 2 soccer trips and a 3 week family trip. While i'm at home, which will be very rarely, I'll be hanging out with my friends and hopefully spending a lot of time biking and roller skating!!What are your plans for summer? I'd love to hear how your school year and summer months are going :)

Get the deets on dinos and find out how we know what we know about them, from the hosts of the popular I Know Dino podcast!
Recently, amazing scientific discoveries have transformed what we know about dinosaurs. And it turns out that a lot of what we thought we knew about them was … totally wrong. Fortunately, the I Know Dino! podcast hosts are here to parse dino-fact from dino-fiction and dig into the incredible history of paleontology along the way. .

I'll be visiting the US for 5 weeks and I am SUPER excited to see my family and friends again!!! (Those of you who don't know I moved to Germany.) Also, did you know that I'm allergic to birch trees? And you are so lucky to get out of school earlier!!
Why do you move to Germany? I would just hate to be apart from my family, friends, and my beloved country!
My parents are missionaries (people who tell other people about God... I'm a Christian) and so because of that, we moved here. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Germany, it's just so different from the US!
that`s cool! I just finished reading an book called "Listen for Lions" an girl had an parents who are missionaries, too! But an girl`s parents died from illness! It really sad book but good!
really. Cool where are you vistinting. If u r gonna be in Mn cuz if u are, we should meet lol
That would be cool! But I'll be in Texas, my first home. And hopefully when I'm older I can move back!
sad :(

SUP everyone. Me and my friends got into a fight recently. I made up with one of my friends, but the other one is being REALLY RUDE. She punched my other friend in the stomach and said "shut your mouth". Do you guys have any suggestions of what to say to her? Thanks, pinkkitty9
If the girl who punched the other one is not sorry and rude, they are not the right friends for you. Even if it is hard to let go you need to. Who knows they could come crawling back to you after they lost all of their great friends! Please update me on how it goes!
Oh my..... that does not sound like a friend to me. I think you should 1. Tell her that it is NOT okay to punch someone in he stomach even though you're mad 2. Ignore her 3. Tell your parents or teacher! Hope that helps! And stay safe while you're at it, will ya?
You know what dream_ beyond I TOTALLY AGREE.That girl is just...not your friend and if she never apologizes dont talk to her at all shes not your friend real friends have your back i have your all of you guys backs i hope you have mine i would also never talk about you behind your back
Hmm...I've never experienced a situation like this. I think you can try telling your friend that how she's been acting is NOT okay. Like, be firm but don't be mean to her. You could also try to leave her alone for a short time--she might be going through some trouble that she doesn't want to talk about. These are just random suggestions, you don't have to follow them or anything. Hope this helped!
I totally TOTALLY agree wit dis person he or she is right I'm a they them
Oh no! If I were you, I would say to her, "hey, what you did to my other friends, not very nice, watch out or I will tell your parents!" Just if I were you, @pinkkitty9, but I just hope that things will get better between you and your friends!
i say let it sit for awhile then try talking to her.
Hmm mabye if she is gonna be rude to you and your friends then dong be her friend if things get worse. ( in my opinion it works, the same thing happened to my friends.)

so I'm getting braces but I'm kinka freaked out. I have a horrible gag reflex and I'm worried when they do the impressions I might throw up. ahhhhh and how long will it take? I am scared but my friend said they look cute, i dont agree. i need help guys should i get ceramic or metal braces ahhhhh huge decision . pls tell me and tell me foods u cant eat. dont like caramel popcorn
You cant eat: carrots apples popcorn gum taffeta chips broccoli seeds stuff like that I know about it well... I'll be getting braces too I have a cross bite and a terrible overbite and a spacer.in my mouth (which ISNT helping my teeth there still crooked ) but yeah dont be scared your brave ok? Sorry if I sound like a mom I just am really kind anyways good.luck
haha yoou do but calming my fear abit.
ugg expander sounda awful
Being a person who doesn't have braces, I'm not sure. But I do think that If you worry about it too much you have more of a chance of throwing up while it's being done. I know you're not supposed to eat things like caramel, popcorn and cookies (unless they're dipped in milk or something). Good Luck!
thanks. and its only hard cookies i think. i just.... yeah
I don't really care that I can't have caramel, I don't eat it often....
pls reply its happening soon
Hi! I also have braces! So I can say that if you want to eat starburst or anything like that, you can always just suck on it for a while until it gets softer. And make sure that if you eat gum that it's sugar free. Because the sugar makes the gum more sticky. Good luck!
I also sometimes get gag reflexes too! Though sorry, I don't know much about braces, 'cause I don't have them myself.......yet......
it happened when i was getting selents on my 12 year old molars yuck
Don`t freak out, @foreverreagancorn! I been dreaded about getting braces but I already got braces so only about 1 year left for me! but they will take just about 2 hours putting on your braces on! And foods you can`t eat: gums, popcorn, starburst, and anything that is hard or chuncy! I don`t know, about ceramic or metal braces!
apparently,in my track team, ceramic are more popular. but i might just do metal
which ones do you have?
I guessing metal braces, idk, lol
haha im just gonna go with metal
lol, trust me, you don`t want to have braces, it so boring without gums and popcorns!
im gonna miss that. but it needs to be done
*sigh* well at least we are going to have beautiful straight teeth, right?
yep, iy is not going to be fun for me lol
