Bullies

       Zach here, and I'm here to give you some advice on how to live through school, even if you're embaressed by something or someone - glares at Mya -

       Step 1.) Ignore, ignore, ignore. If you ignore bullies, they become powerless, if you give a reaction, they "gain" power.
       Step 2.) If step 1 doesn't work, tell an adult or teacher. I know, I know, that makes you a "snitch", but still, it works, and you can re-gain your "no snitch" record as soon as the day is done.       Step 3.) If, and ONLY if, step 1 and 2 doesn't work. Tell them to back off that will work if step 1 and 2 fail.

       Please know that it stinks to be bullied, and if you see a bully bullying another person, remember a time when YOU were bullied and stand up for them. Just tell the bully to back off. The bully will most likely know that you have been bullied before and will just walk away. Give YOUR advice on how to deal with bullies below.

Duck Tape Stuff

       Okay, I'm Janie, Mya's BFF and I'm here to talk about duck tape stuff and how to make them. To all you duck tapers, if you want some advice from a professional duck taper, here it is. Never leave your duck tape out in the rain. Comment duck tape ideas you came up with below!

HOW TO MAKE THE DUCK TAPE THINGS:

Rose: 

       1.) Get a straw and three of your favorite colors of duck tape.
       2.) Pick the color you want as your stem, and wrap it around the straw.
       3.) Take 3 inches of another color of duck tape, and fold 2 corners together.
       4.) Stick the stick side onto the top of the straw.
       5.) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have the top of the rose.

       Done!

Purse:

       1.) Get 4 pieces of 6 inches of whatever color duck tape you want.

       2.) Stick all pieces together underneath each other length of duck tape.

       3.) Stick both stick sides together.

       4.) Repeat steps 1 through 3.

       5.) Get 2 strips of duck tape 6 inches long and stick them along the sides of the purse.

       6.) Get 6 more inches of duck tape and fold it neatly.

       7.) Make a hole in each side of the top of the purse.

       8.) String the neatly folded duck tape through the 2 holes.

       9.) Tape the bottom closed.

       Done!

Fashion

        Okay, Zach here, and the topic today is.... Fashion! Basically all fashion is, is popular clothing. Here is a fashion site for you: http://www.fashionplaytes.com/ although I know absolutely nothing about girls, I think you will like the website. Now, it's my sisters turn to talk about trendy clothes this season.

       Mya here, after a couple of quick calls to my friends, I figured out that popular clothes this season are mismatched socks, layered tops, frilly short skirts, leggings, and sparkles, lots and lots of sparkles. Post what your fashion mind came up with below!
