We want to hear your plans for New Years and if you are going to be kissing in the New Year, just hanging with friends, watching fireworks in the neighbor hood, or maybe even sleeping.

As you approach your teenage years, you will be asked on dates. This is a normal part of growing up and should be fun! However, there are instances in the dating scene that are not suitable for your physical and mental capabilities. Thus, you should take note of these tips.

Always Feel Good About Yourself

You are already dealing with plenty of teenage angst as it is without anybody else adding to it. Thus, if you must date someone, do so because he makes you feel genuinely good about yourself and you know that you can make him feel good about himself, too. After all, dating is supposed to be a fun activity, of which abusive physical acts and words have no places whatsoever in it.

If somebody is pressuring you to do something that you feel unready for, then don’t give in to the pressure and don’t date him again. Keep in mind that you may well regret your decision to give in to something that will not make your feel good.

Interaction Is Key, Not Control

You are too young to be controlled by anyone, be it in terms of physical or mental control. You are an independently thinking human being and as such, deserve the respect for being so. If it is not provided, then it is best to just walk away.

Your teen dating encounters must be of the interactive types where you become acquainted with each other before deciding to make a go at it on a deeper level. Keep in mind that relationships are about being on equal ground, not who controls whom. Otherwise, you might just find yourself in a relationship that can be traumatic.

Just make sure that while dating your fellow teens, you are indeed having good, clean fun at it. This way, you can look back with fond memories of those times.

Steps

1. Recycling. You’ve most likely heard about it and you might even do it yourself. However, you may want to recycle even more. If you’ve finished drinking a bottle of water and you’re definitely sure that you’re not going to use it again, recycle it. You can recycle many things, quite a few things are: Paper, Glass (may vary from place to place), Cardboard and plastic. You can talk to your current Recycle plan company to find out even more information.
2. Donate. Donation can vary from time to time. You may find yourself in a charity shop donating all your old clothes/shoes/toys or you could simply find yourself putting all your loose change inside a money box outside a charity shop. You don’t have to do extreme things like for example donating blood if you’re definitely not 100% sure about it. Do what you feel comfortable with doing. Money that is donated to charity is usually used to help those that are in poverty or that need a little extra care.
3. Littering. Time after time you may have found yourself in a position where you have littered. Littering contributes to polluting the planet and is quite hazardous to the people and animals around us. If there aren’t any nearby bins, hold on to your rubbish until you find one. If you’re rubbish is recyclable, recycle it. You don’t have to pick up other people’s litter if you don’t want to but if you feel that you should then go ahead but take caution; you don’t know where it’s been, who/what’s touched it and what it may have been previously used for.
4. Reduce Vehicle Pollution. It’s not only a waste of gas/patrol to drive to a nearby destination but it’s also polluting our environment. If your parents (considering you’re a kid/teen)offer to drive you school, politely decline their offer and walk instead. If your journey isn’t walkable, you might want to take a bus/train instead. However, it may be best just to let your parents drive you if you don’t like to use public transport.
5. Electricity. Ever found yourself in a position where you seem to have run out of space to plug something in? First of all, if you’re not using an electrical powered object that you aren’t currently using; turn it off and then unplug it. It’s not necessary to have all the sockets occupied at once. If you straighten your hair every morning, then you might want to change that. Not only are you wasting energy but you’re damaging your hair. It’s also best to avoid over-charging your laptop if you use one because they do take quite a while to charge depending on your performance plan. If you use a computer and you find yourself bored whilst your on it, turn it off and consider finding another activity to keep yourself occupied. Also, never leave your computer/laptop on overnight, in that situation, you’re not only wasting energy but you’re over-heating your computer/laptop and you could increase the chances of a house fire.

Tips

• If you’re going out, turn off all of the running appliances in your room and maybe even your house. Your refrigerator and freezer however will need to still be running to avoid spoilt foods.

Warnings

• Make sure that you donate money to a legit and registered charity, you don’t want to get scammed.
• As mentioned before, it’s best that you don’t pick up after other people’s litter for health and safety reasons.
• In most places, littering is an offense and you will get fined depending on what you’re littering and where you’re littering.
• Some people might frown upon you doing this.

Steps

1. Learn about hygiene basics. The more you understand about hygiene the more likely you are to follow the rules on it!
2. Take showers everyday. No, not every other day: every day. Because of puberty, your sweat glands are becoming more active, which are creating different chemicals that cause sweat to turn into a disgusting odor. So, to make sure you’re getting rid of all this smelly odor you should use a mild soap and warm water! Even if it’s hot outside you need to shower in warm water, because that opens up your pores which means you get to clean more of that smell off of you. Then rinse off in cold water to shut your pores and eliminate the amount of bacteria that makes you stink.
3. Wear clean clothing and apply deodorant to your now clean armpits. Boys, that means changing your socks and underwear every day. Girls, that means washing your bra every other day, unless you have more than one.
4. Brush your teeth at minimum two times a day. Strive to try and brush your teeth after every meal! When brushing your teeth, hold your brush at an angle so it lines up with your gum line. Brush back and forth making sure to get every single tooth. Be sure to use a soft bristle brush so you don’t damage your gums. And either use your brush or a tongue scraper to get rid of all the bacteria on your tongue. If you don’t know this, bad breath mostly comes from either poor eating habits or poor brushing habits. After you brush for three minutes (yes, three!), floss and use a good mouthwash. You only need to floss once a day, which should be at night, so you can get rid of all that junk that has built up in your mouth! By the way: mouth wash, and brushing your teeth regularly don’t get rid of bad breath. Those are just myths! You need to floss to get rid of the pieces of food in your mouth, if you don’t those pieces will gather bacteria which gives off a bad odor. And breathing into your hand to see if you have bad breath doesn’t work.
5. Wash your face two times a day with warm water and a soap made for people with acne. If you have acne that is, if not you can choose what you use. Don’t scrub! Rub in circular motions slowly and gently. You should not pop pimples, this can lead to scarring and an infected pimple. Also, try not to touch your face, and only touch your face if you have just washed your hands. Always remove makeup from your face before you go to sleep and keep your hair clean to eliminate the amount of oil that gets on your face.
6. Wash your hair, depending on your hair type, everyday to every other day. Use a shampoo and conditioner meant for your type of hair. It doesn’t work if your using volume shampoo when you need smoothing shampoo. You don’t need conditioner but it helps if you get knots or tangles easily. And every two or three weeks, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of all the build up.
7. Shave. If your a teenage boy, you may start shaving your face and if your a teenage girl you may start shaving your legs and underarms. Here’s some tips:
   • Don’t skimp on shaving crème. Use as much as you need to when you first start out shaving.
   • Shave with the grain, this will give you a lesser chance of getting in-grown hairs which hurt a lot.
   • Use an aftershave or some sort of lotion to prevent razor burn, and to give you less irritation.
8. Start eating healthier. Eating healthy is really important if you want to be a healthy teen. You don’t need to go on a full blown diet, but you might want to cut back on all the salts and sugars your devouring. When you have breakfast be sure to get dairy, protein, and fruit into your breakfast. You could have some bacon, with a glass of milk, and a bowl of fruit! That would be very healthy. Make sure your getting three-square meals a day, and have them last at least 20 minutes, so you’re not eating excess food you don’t need. Try healthy alternatives, instead of having a bowl of ice-cream, opt for a frozen yogurt. Or try having apple slices instead of potato chips. Go for healthy substitutions, if your making brownies and it calls for cooking oil substitute oil for apple sauce. It will be healthier and make them moister! Drink more water. This is basically the most important thing of all. If you drink more water you will be healthier. It flushes the toxins out of your body plus makes your skin clearer and gives it a healthy glow.
9. Start exercising everyday. Whether it’s walking in the park, or doing a couple of crunches do at least 20 minutes of physical activity everyday. Not only will it make you slimmer and toned, it will make you stronger and you may soon find out you can run the mile without even stopping with a side cramp. You could go to the local gym and practice swimming laps or running on the treadmill. You could even buy a couple workout DVD’s from the store and workout in the comfort of your own home. Whatever it is, exercising is about being healthy and happy about your body.
10. Catch up on your sleep. Teenage bodies need more sleep than adult bodies. We’re stressed more with homework and chores, yet we can hang on with only a couple hours of sleep. You don’t want to do that! You need to get at least 9 hours of sleep. No arguing or discussing it. 9 hours. Especially if you have to wake up early. Just shut off your phone and anything else that could keep you up and shut your eyes. You might say I can’t sleep though. Well that’s because you’re not trying. If you actually lay silently and close your eyes you’ll be waking up for the next morning in no time.

Tips

• Warm water opens your pores and cold water closes your pores! What does that mean? It means cleaner skin!
• Brush your teeth every day. Don’t even try to skip it. Everyone will know.
• When you’re shaving, don’t shave to hard or to fast, that will just cause nicks and burning. Not comfortable.
• Always wear clean clothing, and never wear the same underwear two days in a row. That’s disgusting.
• If you’re cooking bacon, or any oily type of food, get rid of excess oil by patting it lightly with a paper towel.

Warnings

• Don’t shave to fast!
• Never starve yourself to be skinny, you’ll end up looking ugly or even worse you could die!
