INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are involved with service work, take the opportunity to talk about volunteering. If you are not already involved in service work, don't worry. You can start a new project, like volunteering at a food bank or nursing home. Your health teacher may have an idea of places you can volunteer. Set up a table in the cafeteria in a central location, or a location that people pass through. Call them over and say, "Hi, can I talk to you about helping out the community?" Talk about your service opportunities. Then finish by saying, "I hope you consider volunteering with me and voting for me for Homecoming King!"

Make sure to talk to people you don't usually talk to. It is not necessary to mention your bid for Homecoming King. Listen to what other people have to say, and enjoy getting to know different kinds of people. You may even make new friends. Most schools have a week of school pride leading up to Homecoming. Make sure people know that you love your school by participating in as many of the events as possible. If possible, take on responsibilities when organizing events. Usually there is some element of dressing up on each day of pride week. Coordinate fun or funny outfits with friends and classmates.

If you are the one organizing it, lots of people will need to come to you for details. Don't be exclusionary. The point is to create a voting base that is as broad as possible.

SUMMARY: Convince people that homecoming is not just a popularity contest. Seek out people in multiple social circles or cliques. Take on responsibilities during school pride week. Stay in contact with multiple people and cliques.

The menstrual flow itself can last anywhere from two days to a week, with the average being four days. Spotting that occurs before your period generally does not count as part of the menstrual flow; only actual bleeding counts. It's normal for women in their teens and 20s to have slightly longer cycles, for women in their 30s to have shorter cycles, and for women in their mid-40s to 50s to have shorter cycles still. If yours varies wildly from month to month and you've had your period for longer than two or three years, it would be a good idea to see a doctor to make sure that you're not suffering from hormonal imbalances. Count up the number of days between the first day of your period and the first day of the subsequent period. That number is your cycle length. For most women, it's 28 days, but a normal cycle can range from 25 to 35 days. Note the first and last days of your period on a calendar. This way, you can estimate when your next period might come. Most women's periods come every 28 days, but if you keep track of your periods, you can determine what length your own cycle is.
