Hello dear IML'ers! Hope everyone's having a good summer. We have some sad news today. :-( Due to a shift in focus away from tweens, PBS funding for It's My Life updates has been discontinued until further notice. This includes moderating the You Said It pages. It's devastating to us at IML because we love what we do. We fought hard to keep these pages available to you guys who rely on them and make them so great, and haven't given up yet. We're still out there, looking for more funding. In the meantime, no new YSI posts will be approved, unfortunately. We hope that changes soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us and stay in touch! Any questions, email us at itsmylife@pbs.org and we will do our best to answer.

Yes, I have test anxiety, but I just study very hard, and I get good grades. I just relaxed and breathed in and out.

I get really scared, nervous, and stressed during tests, but I just stay calm, and take one step at a time, and remember, I am trying my best and that's all I can do!

I only really hate standardized tests because I constantly freak out about making my bubbles perfect dark circles.

When I have a test coming up and I know it, I take some deep breaths. Then I gently stretch my body and mind by doing relaxing poses or ballet moves. Most of all study, study, study!
