MsLolly gives you tips to keep your skin safe from the many dangers of the Sun.

Now that summer has ended, many of us aren't hanging by the beach or pool as much anymore. That means that most of us probably aren't thinking about putting on sunscreen as much. Well, protecting your skin from the sun is just as important during the school year as it is in the summertime. Here are some facts about skin damage, and some tips to keep you safe in the sun!

You might just think that you only have to put on sunscreen when you're at the beach or pool, or whenever you're out in the sun for a long time. The truth is, skin damage from the sun can occur anywhere, anytime you're outside, ever when it's cloudy. Just because it's not summer doesn't mean you have to forget about sunscreen!

A common misconception many people have is that their skin doesn't burn, it tans, therefore not putting on sunscreen is okay, right? Wrong. Even though people with skin that naturally tans might not burn, the sun's UV rays are still damaging their skin permanently because they're not wearing sunscreen.

Nerdishh reports the Wishing Well is no more.

Nerdishh here. Reporting on a tragic event in Whyville . . . yes, that's right. The beloved Wishing Well we've come to know and love is gone. Vanished. Asta la vista. It happened out of the blue. On October 8, 2007, anyone who was in the Sportplatz, playing a usual game of the well, was booted. When they returned, it was gone.

Many think the Well is gone for good but others, including myself, still have hope. If you check the Poll Booth, you'll see many petitions about bringing the Wishing Well back to Whyville. Beauty912 was one of the first people to see the Sportplatz without the well. She started a petition and in an hour, it had about 130 votes. That's how much Whyville loves the well.
