Having online connections can be a great way to stay intouch with friends. So being a teenager you want to have one of these. It makes it much easier to start connections. Theres just one thing to worrie about. The world of the internet can be great..but it can also be very dangerous. Part of being a smart teen means your paying attention to the dangers of an internet site. Don't give out personal information that you may not want someone else to get a hold of, and dont get caught talking smack about someone from a wall post! More importantly don't let yourself be bullied on one of these sites. Part of being sucessful means being strong and knowing how to prevent online harrasment or creepy encounters with people.

How to get a girl

If your in high school pick-up lines aren't going to get you very far. There are some basic steps to follow.

So say you want to get this girl really badly and you don't even know her. This is tough. Usually you might have to wait for a weird turn of events like ending up at a friends house while she's there or being assigned seats next to her in Spanish class. If you have no way of getting to know her maybe ask a friend to introduce her.

Okay now that you know this girl its very important that you get her number. Don't ask a friend for her number then randomly just text her...that's creepy. If you ever talking to her in the halls or maybe at a friends house just simply ask her for it. whats the worst thing that can happen? she says no and then you know shes not interested and move on.

Okay so you have her number! Its a chance game now. Start texting her and be friendly. At this point you need to just be yourself and you will be able to tell if she starts to like you or not. Maybe you don't have texting, then you might have to AIM her or "chat" with her on facebook.

The rest should be easy, make sure you stay out of the "friend zone" and start hanging out with her and eventually ask her out when you think your both ready.

Bro-code

Yes, the bro code is a true thing. It may not be written down (actually it is now in the book below) but it is a spoken law between men with certain rules.


There are a few very important bro codes that ever bro should know:
1.)Bros before hoes- the most important rule if you want to keep popularity, friends, and respect. Never leave hanging out with the boys to go be with your girlfriend.

2.)Ex's are off limits-ALWAYS. No bending this rule. No exceptions. Even if your bro gives your permission. Some people may say "after four months they're fair game" but that is not true!

3.)Every other Urinal-when in the bathroom "draining the main vain" dont take the urinal next to a bro, you can wait or find a stall. Exceptions: if the bro is a very close friend or if you have showered with this person after a sports activity.

4.)If a bro asks another bro to keep a secret, he shall take that secret to his grave- This is what makes us bros not chicks.

Breaking the bro code results in instant combustion as below. Don't test the system.
