To all doctors,
When you write a prescription you should write neatly,we ask kindly becuase if we dont get the right medicine then we wont ever get well again or even worse if we get the wrong medication we could even end up in the hospital.There have benn such cases as people dying because they dont have the right medication or because they got the wrong one.
So please do us all a favor and write neatly or even simpler just print.

If you are having trouble making new friends you shouldn't worry because you should know that sooner or later you will make a great friend that will like you no matter what. When you are making friends with someone and begin to talk to them you should always remember to be yourself and not someone you are not. You want a friend to like you for who you really are and not for someone you are not. Be friendly and kind and don't just choose a friend by the way that they look, choose someone for the way they treat you and respect them. Just remember to be yourself and be kind to that person.

well if you are having trouble with geting friends than you should just find out thet people that like what you like and start to know them and then just ask to hang out and stuff then if you would like to get more friends just like talk to people and see how you and them would get along and if they seem like good people than you can get to know them

When you have problems with making new friends, you should alaways try to fit in. That dont mean not to be yourself. If that still dont work then don't be there friend.

If you are a new student in a different school and you want to make friends there are many ways to go about making friends. To make friends you just have to be yourself and carefully pick out the good people from the bad people. Find out what you have in common with another person....they may have something about them that you sre curious to find out! Be kind and generous to people, they will see thst you need a friend eventually. If you never make a point to talk then no one will notice you or even want to talk to you because you too shy! Its alright to be shy but not all the time, so just make a point to talk and meet different people and dont judge anyone before you get to know them!

Hand writing is important because if you have bad penmanship then people will not be able to read your singnature or writings.You are to have good writing so if you can not be copied or forged by any one,and if you have bad writing then anything close will be ok.

It is important for doctors to always write neatly because if they do not, their notes will not be legible. If the note isn't legible, other doctors, teachers, or other adults will not understand what the doctor wrote about you, which could exlude you from doing things like sports. Adults wouldn't know if you are or are not healthy to be in a sport, and if you are not, and the doctor's not isn't legible, your health could be at risk. Doctors also write perscriptions, and if the perscription isn't legible, the pharmacist may give you the wrong medicine, which could also harm your health.

If a new student were to come to school and had trouble making friends the advice that i would give them is to try to join some clubs or try out for s sport so they would get to known people better.But if they don't really like sports join a club that would help them interact with other students better.

Dear doctor,
Please always write neatly. When you leave a prescription for a patient they need to be able to understand what it is that you wrote. Sloppy handwriting makes it hard for the reader to know what the prescription or message that you wrote aclually says.

Thank you for your time,
Charlene

the reason why hand writing is important is because when you are writing an important paper you can actually read it what good will a paper with horibble hand writing do no one there will be n can read it and there will be no credit to take

Docter, there are a lot o good reasons why you should write neatly. One o the reasons is or perscriptions. Another is or medical reports.

If someone needed a perscription for an inhaler, they would need your help to get it. They would have to take your docter's note to the pharmacy to get their perscription illed out and ready or use. But if the pharmasist cannot read the perscription then they cannot get thier perscription filled.

Now, lets say that the police need a record of a medical form but can't read it, well you do the math.

just talk to people and get to know other new student then you won't feel bad about being new in the school so just talk and people will heare you

It is important that doctors write neatly because if they write a note and a nother doctor needs to see it, it would be hard to read and wouldn't be able to understand what the doctor's note would say. This could also cause alot of stress in the doctors office. That is why it is important for a doctor to write neatly.

If a new student needed advice, I would tell that person to just be yourslef and thatg they will make friends in no time!They shouldn't worry about what other people think of them, and they should just worry about themself.

If you have a problem making friends because your nervous, don't worry, sometimes you just have to build up the confidence to find someone you have something in common with. when you do that, you'll be glad you did.

For a new student i would tell them to do something. Like something to get noticed. I would tell them to do something funny or something that would attracked other students to look at them and to get them to laugh.

Dear new student,

My best advice to you is join a team or a club tat shows what you love to do. You'll mae friends in no time. Hanging around other people with same interests as you tends to make friends. Don't be shy to say hello to some one as long as you feel it's safe. Keep your head up and be a people's person you wont regret it.

To all new kids,
There are two ways to make new friends. The first way is to go up to talk to the one you want. The second way is to ask someone if they want to be friends.

Dear Doctors,
It is important that you write neatly. It is important because your patients need to understand what is written. If its a perscription they need to know what it says or they might get the wrong perscription, and that would be bad for thier health.

The reason why docters need to have better had writing is because alot of people can't read what the docter wrote on the percription or docters note.Its easier for people to read what you docters are saying if it is neat.Sometimes people strain themselves when they try and read what has happened and when or what they need to do.Basicilly we are trying to tell you to practice your writing skills.

If somebody has trouble making friends they should wait until you get to choose partners that is how i made a friend.After that you can see what lunch table he or she is siting at so you can make even morefriends so you can have permanet friends to talk to.they can even help you with some of your homework.
