@jenniferbeach If you looked it up here.... https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110415120016AAMSoeV I wouldn't take that answer. It won't benefit you in school. You'll just have to learn it again. I would let @Hero help you, he's great. He'll help you understand it. TRUST ME! I used to do the same thing, it's a really bad idea!
