What do you do when your teacher is unbearably boring?

Dear Cali,
I know that you hate to hear this, but you have to listen to your teacher, even if he or she is unbearably boring.
I’ve been there too: Lunch starts in 20 minutes and your teacher is teaching you some boring subject you will literally NEVER use in the real world. I get it, but like I said, you still have to listen.
Just know that this BORING stuff will be something you will have a test on within the next month, so you have to be prepared. Some teachers will allow you to have a stress ball or squishy in class so you can ask your teacher about that and see if it helps!
Again, you should listen to your teacher because they will prepare you for the next grade. If your next grade is 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or anything higher than that, it is VITAL you get good grades because depending on which school you want to go to, it will count for college (it sounds crazy, but it’s true).
Overall, you should listen in class and think of an education as a great thing!

What’s your advice for getting along well with your brother or sister?

Dear Anonymous,
I think you should do this: Every time you have an argument with a sibling, just leave the room. You can also stay and talk things out if you’d like to. And if you feel like an argument is about to come, start talking about something both of you like, and you will forget about it by dinner.
Also, try to bond with your sibling about something. If you have something to talk about, then you will spend more time together and become better friends. You should also tell an adult if he/she is hurting or attacking you.
I hope these tips will help you get closer with your sibling!!
Thank you for writing!
