•  Can You Keep a Secret? Do you think you're the kind of person friends can confide in, or do you have a desperate need to share juicy details with anyone who has ears? •  Quizzes Galore Take tons of quizzes on every possible topic here. Do girl athletes at your school get injured playing sports more than boys, or vice versa? It's about even. Definitely girls. Boys, at least as far as I can tell.

Are You A Good Listener? Being able to focus when someone else is talking can be the key to being a friend. It can also help with everything from homework to dating. So are you really paying attention to what the people around you are saying, or are you too busy thinking about what you want to say to really listen? Take our quiz and find out. Linda Barth 1. How many times does your mom have to tell you to take out the trash before it registers that you actually have to take out the trash?   She claims it's at least 10 times, but I'm not sure I believe her.   She says she always has to ask twice before I notice she's talking to me.   Only once 2. When you're on the phone with your boyfriend, who usually changes the topic of conversation?   It's almost always me - he's very, very quiet.   It's pretty equal - we're both talkative!   It's usually him - he has a lot more to say about almost everything than I do. 3. When it comes time to study for an exam, how often do you find that the notes you took in class don't really help?   Once in a while, but usually it's from days when I was totally tired.   All the time! I swear, I don't know why, but I seem to miss half of what happens in class.   Never! In fact, my friends always borrow my notes to help them prepare. 4. You've got Arcade Fire on your iPod and in your CD player, and you listen to them 24/7. But if you got quizzed on their lyrics, how well would you do?   A+, no question! I totally analyze the words to every song.   At least a B+. I love to sing along.   Umm, lyrics? I just love the beats. page 1 of 3 Want more ym?
