I love giving advice to people, so I decided to set up an advice studio!
The rules:
1. All your questions must be appropriate for Scratch.
2. One question at a time, please.
3. Follow those rules.
4. And that rule.
5. And this rule.
Ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer! I can help with anything-relationships, homework, friend problems...been, there, done that.

How do I stop procrastinating on homework?
If you say Do it NOW, I'll be like Meh... and wander to another thread
So I'm not sure I can be helped

Hypothetically, how would one mentally prepare oneself before revealing one's love to the person one has a crush on?

In response to PuzzlePiece and rabbit1131:
I'm procrastinating now too. Close ALL windows on your computer that could be distracting to you. If there's anything around you that might distract you from doing work, put it away. Sometimes, I bribe myself with a little candy. Don't use it as an excuse to eat candy, though. Then you'll have a toothache and you'll make it worse. I use tadalist.com to lay out everything I need to do and make a checklist. I find that really helpful. If that doesn't work, find a system of organizing all the work you have to do.
Hope I helped! Good luck getting your work done!

In response to maxdoss:
Your projects are definitely creative. I don't know what your goal is at the moment, but if you're trying to achieve popularity, what I know from experience is that Scratchers enjoy comedy and games. I see that you have comedy things, which is great. You might want to advertise in your forum sig. If you like, try programming games. You can ask more advanced Scratchers (unlike me) to help.
In terms of improving your projects, you may want to work on cleaning up the appearance a little bit. I know I may sound picky and detail-oriented right now, but text and backgrounds that are aligned and look nice are always more appealing to me, even if the project is bad (not saying yours are!). It entices people to click on them.
Sorry if this seems unclear to you! Hope I helped!

*cries*
I responded, but something happened...I wrote so much!!!!
I'll just sum it up for you:
1) First consider: Do you REALLY need to tell this person?
2) If yes, then be careful when approaching her. Smile, don't be pushy. You can suggest it, or be straight out serious: ''I like you.''
3) Be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, these sort of things aren't meant to be.
4) NEVER, EVER get a friend to do it for you. They may make mistakes, or say the wrong thing, or say it when other people are around. Plus, it's much more sincere when you do it yourself.
5) And finally, BREATHE. No matter what happens.
Hope this helped! Good luck with her!

That is very true, Paddle. In response to your question:
First of all, talking on the internet is the same thing as talking in real life, but you are masked by your username. Even though you are just typing letters, they can still hurt or affect somebody. Always be careful and thoughtful with what you say to other people. Before you post, think 'Is this respectful to other users? How about appropriate? Polite?' I think that's why there has been flaming-people just pour out everything in their head.
Also, being polite is important not just in the real world, but also online. Not only does it give a good impression, but it also feels more friendly. And if you ever need to get someone to do a favor for you, just a simple 'Please' and 'Thank you' could do the trick.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer!

In response to Earthboundjeff:
People don't like you? Well, where? In real life or Scratch? If you're talking about the forums, then personally, I don't see why...I haven't seen you on the forums too much though.
Think about what you post: Are you replying rudely or disrespectfully (I'm not saying you are) to other people? Is your tone argumentative or provocative? Even just a few words can spark an argument.
Always be nice to people. Be polite. Be friendly. Smile. Those are my rules for life. I think everyone should live by them
Hope I helped! If this doesn't make sense, or isn't specific enough, feel free to submit another question.

We can advertise in our sigs, if necessary. We can also make a topic asking for ideas.

I can't think of a collab to make. what should i do?
Offline
In response to sportsdude6:
Hmm. I don't know much about collabs, but what I understand is that you have an idea, get someone to do it with you, and make something. All in order.
What I suggest now is, do it in reverse order. First, find a simple idea of what you want to do (make it general! E.g. games, art, etc.) and post a topic somewhere. After you find a willing partner, go right into the details.
Hope I helped! Feel free to submit more questions if this isn't clear.
