What is the deal with the homework questions?
Q. Obviously I'm not the only one asking this question, but for those of you who have been on longer than I have, did this happen last year? I mean, is this a cyclical thing? We just got done with all those summer reading questions and now it's homework! Maybe I'm old school but honestly I didn't go to strangers with my homework problems--I worked them out on my own or with study groups. Where's the growth in having the answers told to you? And what makes you think you're going to get the right answer anyway--maybe someone's just answering with the wrong answer to mess with you.

A. Well, I look at it this way. I don't mind helping people on YA even if it's homework, just as long as they have a legitimate question and not just lazy. For instance, why would someone ask about a chapter in a book when they can simply read it for themselves? To me that's lazy. Now if someone doesn't understand something about the chapter and the way it's worded, that's a totally other question indeed. We do have older people on the YA sidelines, and like myself have a lot of information to share about things we learned in life. There are a few younger ones, too, who are pretty intelligent as well.

A. You've got a physics test, an English paper due and a big track meet next week. Ooh, and don't forget that dance everyone s been talking up. If you find yourself inhaling food as you rush from the library to the mall or you notice a persistent ache in your lower jaw or the back of your neck, you probably need a little stress reduction. Here are five easy tips: 1. Exercise. You'll be surprised by how much better you'll feel if you take 30 minutes to practice yoga, go for a jog in the park or shoot some hoops. You ll reduce those stress-inducing hormones and boost your endorphins (those feel-good chemicals). Engaging in a rhythmic activity like swimming also helps clear your head. 2. Spend some time with your dog. Or, heck, even your MP3… [cont.]

What is the point of doing your homework?
Q. I have more than 4 hours worth of homework in every subject. Its just stressing me out, I'm just in middle school. I missed dinner and my favorite TV Show. My backpack is so heavy and way too much books. I just don't get why teacher gives out too much homework. Why us kids have to suffer by giving too much homework? Why do we even do homework in the first place.

A. I doubt that you have over 4 hrs in each subject, that's an exaggeration, isn't it. The purpose of doing homework is to learn the subject, this is why we have school...to learn. So get off the computer, stop wasting time, and get it over and done with. Good luck!
