Bullies

This isn't just some post about how we need to be nice to bullies or ignore them or anything grown-up like that. Because if you're in public shool these days, you know what I mean. They won't just stop if you ignore them, they'll make fun of you for ignoring them. If you're nice them, they'll take advantage of it. So here are some nice comebacks for almost every situation!

Fat Comebacks

You can't fix stupid, but I can diet.

Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted.

They say no woman ever made a fool out of you. So who did?

You have a good weapon against muggers -- your face!

Excuse me, but I believe you've mistaken me for someone who cares.

Well at least I'm not brainless.


Ugly Comebacks

God made me pretty, but what happened to you?

I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?

I would ask you how old you are, but I know you can't count that high.

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

Where'd you get your haircut? The pet shop?

I never forget a face. But in your case I'll make and exception.

What ever kind of look you were going for, you missed.


General Comebacks

You're a loser. I'm a goddess. Any questions?

You're not yourself today. I noticed the improvement immediately.

I'd love to go out with you, but my favorite commercial's on TV.

I'll probably never forget the day we met, but I'll keep trying.

What am I? Flypaper for freaks?


Dumbness Comebacks

If your brain was chocolate, it wouldn't fill up an M&M.

Your neighbors just called. They said the street was missing its idiot.

If you're in your right mind, I hope you go insane.

Your brain must feel really new, seeing as you never use it.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive!

I heard you were born on April 2nd. A day too late.


Hope you liked these comebacks! Please post any other ones (clean, please) in the comments section. Happy insulting!

Projects

Some people have a lot of trouble in school when it comes to projects. Let's take a science fair project for example. Your science fair project should not all be rushed the night before it's due. I hope you knew that already, though. Let's go through the steps it takes to create a successful project.

Experimental Project

1. You need to have a question. This question can come from any where, as long as you make sure it's something that intrests you and is possible for you to complete with the materials and time provided.

2. Hypothesize. Do some research. Figure out what you think the results from your project are going to be.

3. Test. Once you have all of your materials, conduct your experiment. Make sure you test it more than once, and then average your results.

4. Almost done! This is the fun part for a lot of people. It's time to make your presentation!!! Most schools require a 3-paneled poster board for the display, ao you'll have a lot of space to fill up. Pick coordinating colors and remember: graphs are good. Most judges and science teachers expect you to have graphs on your board. And have fun!


Research Paper (or any factual paper for that matter)

1. Pick a topic. If the teacher has already picked a topic for you, that just takes out this step.

2. What do you already know about your topic? You may know a lot more than you think. Branstorm and then do some research online and don't forget to cite your sources.

3. Plan your report. This is very critical because it shows whether or not you care about the paper and it makes the paper a whole lot easier to write when you get to the next step.

4. Write your rough draft. Look to your plan, but feel free to deviate from it when you have a good idea.

5. Final draft. This is what your teacher will see. it should either be typed of written on a clean sheet of paper. Most teachers will tell you how they want it written or typed or anything like that. This is also your last chance to edit. Look up any words you're not sure of in spelling or meaning. And make sure you've written your paper in a way that it can be understood. Maybe even have a friend read it for tips.

Note: Psst...You can't get this all done in one night. Plan it out week by week.

I hope this helped!
