Bullies typically seek easy targets. They try to pick on someone who they think lacks the confidence to stand up to them. If you portray confidence, you will avoid a lot of bullying.  Give off confident body language by standing up straight when navigating the hallways. While this may seem like a minor change, it can really convey confidence. Make eye contact with people and smile slightly as you walk down the halls. Find ways to increase your own self-esteem. By investing into hobbies or extra-curricular activities, it can boost your self-worth and make you feel good about yourself. If you linger within the eyesight of an adult, bullies will typically stay away. Bullies do not want to cause trouble for themselves, so they avoid tormenting others if a teacher or other adult is near. When navigating your school, stay in areas where teachers and other adults are typically present. For example, eat lunch close to the table where teachers sit. Bullies may be less likely to target a big group of friends. They tend to pick on people they perceive as defenseless or powerless. If you're always surrounded by people, a bully may be intimidated and avoid bothering you. Try to get involved with a group of people who share your interests, such as by joining a club or sports team. Then, spend time with these people throughout the day. This will help to ensure that you are always with a large group of people and you will not be an easy target for a bully. If you know which kids tend to bully others, stay away from them. Avoid areas in the school where bullies congregate. If you don't have assigned seating, avoid sitting next to bullies in class. If you keep your distance from bullies, they'll have a harder time bothering you. Sometimes, bullies show up in areas you can't avoid. If your locker is located next to a bully's locker, for example, some interaction is necessary. Try to minimize this as much as you can by quickly removing your books between classes. You may also consider asking to move to a different locker to reduce or avoid conflicts with the bully.

Summary: Be confident. Stay within eyesight of an adult. Hang out in groups. Avoid bullies altogether.

Get a nice big cardboard box. You may be able to ask for one at your local supermarket. It must be in good condition, and must be big enough to hold your cat. Using a pair of scissors or a box-cutter, carefully remove the top “flaps” from the box. You may want to save these for future art projects. Leave the bottom “flaps” intact. You are going to create a U-shaped opening in the front of your box to act as a doorway for your cat. First, take a pencil and mark the location you plan to cut. Then, using your scissors or box-cutter, carefully cut this opening in your box. Using construction paper or fabric, and some craft glue, decorate the outside of your box. This will transform your cardboard box into an attractive cat bed. The final step is to create a soft area inside the box for your cat to rest upon. This may be a folded up towel, some quilt backing, stuffing, or a pillow the right size. Place your soft materials in the bottom of your box, and your cat bed is ready for use!

Summary: Find a box. Remove the flaps from the box. Cut an opening in the front. Decorate the outside of the box. Line the inside of the box.


Think of the food you put into your body as fuel for your activity. The cleaner the fuel, the more efficiently your body will run. Avoid foods that are high in sugars and that lack nutrients. Opt for lean proteins like grilled chicken or seafood, and try to fill about half of your plate with colorful veggies, like leafy greens, sweet potatoes, or broccoli. Don’t eat for 30 minutes before you exercise to avoid cramps. To start getting in great physical shape before you lift, you should try to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise each week. Running, jogging, and swimming are some of the most popular aerobic exercises, but feel free to get creative — a flag football game with friends or taking the stairs at work can count towards your goal. As you start getting ready to lift weights, study anatomy charts and workout guides online to learn more about the body's major muscle groups. Pay attention to how each set of muscles moves to control your body, then mimic those movements during weight training. Understanding how the muscles work will help you have a better understanding of what you're working towards.  If you know that the muscles biceps, rhomboids, latissimus dorsi, and posterior deltoids all contract and shorten to move the shoulder and arm, you will understand the exact benefit you get from doing a lateral pull-down. Bodyweight exercises don't require any equipment to give you a good workout — just the weight of your own body and gravity is enough to help you build muscles. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and sit ups are a great way to get your body in shape for weight lifting. You might have images of pressing some heavy iron to build huge muscles, but you can actually get benefits by lifting lighter weights for more reps, plus you decrease your risk of injury. Start out by selecting a weight that you can easily lift 8-12 times, then gradually work your way up to heavier weights. You might not notice that your form is off when you're lifting lighter weights, but if your knees aren't aligned properly, or your back isn't straight, it can make a big difference when you add more weight to your lift. If you go to a gym, ask a trainer to evaluate your form before you increase your lifts. If you don't go to a gym, watch video tutorials and work out in front of a mirror or film yourself lifting weights to check your form. Pay special attention to any aches or pains you feel while lifting.
Summary: Eat a diet that's high in lean protein and veggies and low in carbs. Run, jog, or swim for at least 150 minutes a week. Study the major muscle groups. Practice bodyweight exercises to prepare your muscles for lifting weights. Start with lifting smaller weights, then work your way up. Make sure your form is correct before you lift more weight.
