How To Deal With Your First Big Crush!!!

Okay, recently, I have had my first big crush. Before everyone asks, no I'm not going to tell you who it is because that is private. But, I will tell you how I have been handling it and things I have done wrong and you shouldn't do.

Don't spam them
If you spam them and constantly message them, they will start to find you annoying and you seem like you are obsessed. This is one way for them to get mad at you. If you want to talk to them a lot and they don't really have time, speak to them at night and just say hi. If they say they are busy or don't want to talk, you should respect them.

Don't make them uncomfortable
To do this, don't stare at them or ask them things like ' Do you like me?' or ' Would you date me' because there is a chance that they have just come out of a relationship and don't want to start a new one.


I will finish this later byeeeeee

Tips for Group Projects!

Hey guys,

Wow! My first blog post. You would have seen that this blog is going to be about Group Projects!

To be totally honest, I don’t really like working in groups. I’m a bit of a lone wolf. But, I have ways of surviving when we are forced to work in groups

1. Don’t do all the work

If you often work alone, you are used to doing all the work and taking on a big responsibility and a big role. When you work in a group, the key to success is divide and conquer. For example, I had to write about the globe theatre when I was in a group of 4. We decided to separate aspects of it and assign them to each person. One person had the plays that happened in it, another had the historical side to it, I had the fire and someone else had the rebuild.

     2.  Plan with your group

This may seem fairly simple but trust me, it’s not as easy as it seems. You need to plan when you are going to get together and discuss the project. you have to discuss what aspect of it you are going to do(see tip 1) and how much you are going to do.

     3.  Make sure you actually do it!

If you are just reading the tip titles, you would think by now that I’m a big idiot because they are the basics of teamwork. But they are also important. I have seen many people who have been put in groups and have not done any work. If you often work alone, you may see this as a time to let others do the work for you. IT IS NOT!!! You need to put as much time and effort in as they do and maybe more if they don’t work well. Think about this, if you do no work, someone at some point is going to tell your teacher that your skiving out of work. If you actually do the work, it could be better than the rest of the groups and you could get rewarded for it.

     4.  The best tip of all!!!

If you feel like you are going to rip someone’s head off, count to ten. If that doesn’t work, just remember, there’s no Netflix in prison!

That’s all for this post but there will be more posts on surviving as a teen coming shortly
