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.

Do You Stand Up for Yourself Enough? When you feel you've been wronged, do you confront the offenders or do you take the path of least resistance and let them walk all over you? Take this quiz to see if you're doing a good job watching your own back. Andrea Pyros 1. Your friend borrows your favorite T-shirt and returns it with a stain on it. You:   throw a fit and insist she replace the shirt.   make a joke and say, 'I'll never loan anything to you again.' She'll know you noticed the stain, but you let it go at that.   don't do anything. You wouldn't want to make her mad. 2. Your history teacher gives you a bad grade on a paper you worked super hard on. You decide to talk to her so you can:   see if she'll let you do a revise on the paper so you can try to boost your grade. It can't hurt to ask!   ask her why she gave you such a lousy grade, and remind her of all the other students in the class who work way less than you do.   cry and tell her that you feel like a total idiot. 3. You're being interviewed by the manager of Hollister for a summer job, and he asks why they should hire you. You tell him that you're:   willing to do anything to get a job.   stylish, outgoing, a trendsetter, and you guarantee him that you're going to be salesperson of the month in no time.   hard-working and have a great attitude. 4. Your boyfriend said he'd call you by 5 p.m. on Saturday so you two can make plans for the evening. It's 6, and there's no word yet. You:   try calling him on his cell, and figure you'll give it until 7. If he doesn't call by then, you'll make other plans.   worry something is wrong and sit by the phone until he calls you.   text message him that you're furious, then turn off the ringer on your cell phone and head out with friends to a hot party. page 1 of 3 Want more ym?
