One word: SOCCER. Ya know?!

Later,

It's AWESOME! What's better than hanging out with your friends at lunch EVERY day?!

Later,

Not really -- I try to stay out of their way. If I did, though, I'd totally tell someone 'cause that's NOT cool.

Nope, because it's my first year in middle school!

Well, it's actually not MY grandmother -- it's Katani's. But, sometimes I like to think of her as my grandmother, too.

You're welcome!

Later,

Hi! Well, liking a boy as more than a friend isn't something you have to deal with right away. Just be cool with being friends for right now, like I try to do. Who knows what'll happen down the road!

Later,

Hey! The Devils are cool. Hockey games are AWESOME! They're loud and fast and ca-razy!!!

Later,

Hey! That's so cool that you're Korean-American, too! I don't really mind all that much when people ask me if I'm Chinese or Japanese. I just say, "Well, I'm American just like you, but my ancestors are from Korea." Then, maybe I'll say something cool about Korea that the person might not have known. Rock on!

Later,

Welcome! You should totally explore all areas of the site. We've got celeb interviews, movie reviews, games, puzzles, quizzes, contests, and MORE! Have a blast!

Later,

Yup I've tried it before. I thought it was wicked fun but I don't get to practice that much so I'm not that great at it...yet!

Later,

I usually try to the BSG (or my brother, if I'm stuck at home) to play some kind of game with me where you move around, like Twister or charades. I totally know how you feel--being stuck inside drives me craaaazy!

Later,

Hey! I've never run a real track race before. Congrats on your place!

Later,

Yeah, sometimes people tease me about being short. Whatever. It doesn't bother me - I might be short, but I'm really fast! And I don't like anyone in my class right now. Who has time for all that romance stuff?

Later,

Maybe talk to your gym class teacher and let her know that you really want to start trying harder in class. She might be able to give you more opportunities to try things you'd be really good at!

Later,

I live with my mom in Brookline, right next to Boston. My dad lives in Colorado.

Later,

Like practically since I was born!

Later,

Wow, thanks for the compliments! LYLAS back at ya, Angel*7778!

Later,

Join some kind of team! That way you get to make friends with all your team mates on top of having fun and getting exercise.

Later,

Yeah I would LUV to visit Korea! Did you like it there?

Later,

Yep, my mom is allergic. It's such bummer. Good thing Marty can live at Charlotte's house!

Later,

Hey! That's so not cool about the pandas. I think you should find out everything you can about it online and at the library and wherever. Then maybe one of your teachers would be into helping you figure out what to do next. Good luck - those animals need us to help them survive!

Later,

Def start by taking a lesson somewhere. There's some technical stuff about boarding that you need to learn before just hop on and start shredding. But don't worry, you'll pick it up fast!

Later,

Hey llamagirl6! Just put yourself in her shoes. What if you traveled to a different country where you didn't have your friends and couldn't really understand what people said? You'd want people to be really nice and try to make it easier for you, right? So just do that. You could also put together a little care package for her before she gets there, with postcards she can send to her friends, some yummy American snack food, and whatever else you can think of that will make her feel welcome!

Later,

With a sport like Tae Kwon Do, one is probably enough! Isn't it super-intense?

Later,

Nope, I've never met my birth parents, but I'd like to at least visit South Korea some day. And my fave kind of dog? That's easy - whatever kind Marty is!

Later,

Hey sweetart bsg. In the afternoons I like to blow off a little steam with practice or just playing ball by myself, and then I do my schoolwork before dinner. Try that!

Later,

Hey 2cool! Yeah, you should def play on the team! You'll improve your game SO much and prob make some awesome friends at the same time.

Later,

That's really cool! Are you into animals and stuff, too?

Later,

Hey MissMLK! Have you ever been to visit South Korea? I want to go someday.

Later,

Check out Book 8: Lucky Charm to read all about how I met one of the Red Sox players!

Later,

You should get a bunch of your friends together after school or on the weekends, head to a park, and just kick a soccer ball or throw a frisbee around. That way it's all for fun, not competition, and you'll have a blast with your friends while you're doing it!

Later,

Aw, sad. I'm sure Coco went to a good home, though.

Later,

Eh, only if I have to, and then I get Katani to do it for me. (And I wash it off as soon as I can!)

Later,

Whoa, that rocks!
