In summary, as a new user on Physics Forums, it is essential to explore the "New Member Introductions" section to introduce yourself to the community. Next, the "General Physics" section is a great place to ask questions and engage in discussions on a wide range of physics topics. The "Homework Help" section is where you can get assistance with specific problems and the "Science and Math Textbooks" section offers resources for self-study. Additionally, the "Careers and Education" section provides information on career paths and educational opportunities in the field of physics. Lastly, the "Site Feedback and Announcements" section allows you to give feedback and stay updated on any changes or updates to the forum.

I am new! I am kinda new to this. My teacher suggested this website and I took his advise. So, here I am!
Your teacher is wise. Welcome to PF Jenna. There is a lot to learn here. We have forums that discuss science, and engineering, and we have homework help forums.
In order to help you start out here, the following are the three main sections in PF. You should explore them well:
1. The main forums, that you see in the first page.
2. Insights Blog, available at the top row (header section). In short, they have been described as a "wonder of the web". It contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.
3. The Videos, also available in the header section. The media gallery now has some great videos in almost every aspect in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning experience.
