How can I get over graduation?

I graduated last year from my primary school and I still cry when I remember funny things my friends did or I hear our class song.

MOD MOD MOD!!! I have to do an online summer math program for high school next year, and I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do it. I am always making excuses for it! It's not due until the end of August, but I don't want to leave it until the last minute! I'm not very good at math, so maybe that's why. This week I'll be on vacation with possibly no internet access, but when I get back I have to do it. Any tips on how to get motivated??? Thanks for your help!Smile

 

Hey chica. It sounds like you need to set a time for yourself to complete the program. True, it might not be your ideal way to spend the last month of summer but think about how relieved you'll be once you know you're done. Just get it out of the way and allow yourself to enjoy the rest of summer.

I need some advice!
ok, so im moving on to high school. And i have a choice between 2 high schools. One is a Catholic high school where all of my classmates are going, and then theres the Public School option where very few from my class are going. There are the pro's and con's but i think i have choose the public school option just because my sister goes there and its walking distance. I am just really nervous because i know very few people and im afraid that it will be awkward and weird being there trying to fit in. Also, my friends from my old school , they said if i go there they wont be my friend anymore! ;( so, im afraid to tell them.! what should i do? THANKSS!




Hey babe! It's really brave of you to want to try something new and I think it's great. Meeting new people and trying new things is one of the best things in life. If your friends said they couldn't be friends with you anymore if you went to a new school, they really aren't your friends, are they? That's super mean of them and they really need to grow up. And you definitely don't need to be nervous about meeting people. There are different schools that go into one high school so everyone will be meeting new people. You definitely won't be the only one. And you probably won't even be the only one coming from a different middle school. You'll find people who you click with and who are true friends to you. Good luck! xoxo

I'm throwing a graduation party soon. The problem is that I have two groups of friends. The first is my Asian friends from my church. The other is my school friends who are all white. They've never met each other and they are totally different. My dad also says that my white friends' parents might be taken aback by my Asian friends. And they eat different things like if I invite my school friends we'll have to buy a pizza or something. I know I'm inviting my church friends already.


Hey girlie, I don't think you have much to worry about. And white people eat Asian food too, so you won't have to worry about different food for them. Invite everyone and have a good time!

MOD MOD MOD MOD ! Next year, Im going to high school. This summer though, I really want to reinvent myself ; like become know as the pretty, smart, outgoing girl. How can I make a change &stick with it ?

 

Hey babe. Its great that you want to start highschool on a new foot. The best way to change anything is to practice. Trying to learn how to apply natural make-up? Try out techniques now! Want to be more outgoing? Chat up new people at the pool or practice being nice to salespeople or waiters (they deserve it anyways). Before you get to school review some of the academic stuff you learned already. About to take Algebra? Look it up online and learn a few key concepts (it will make you tons more confident). Also, don't be too hard on yourself. Smile Here are some articles that may help:

People have told me over this past school year that I'm very quiet and i dont talk so much. Well i'm going into high school next year and i want that to change. I want my first impression on people to be that i am outgoing and fun and want people to want to hang out with me and get to know me. Any tips you can give me on being more outgoing and confident? Thanks




Hey girl!

  Smiling is the best way to show your confidence. To be more outgoing, you can start by going up to people and asking them their names and trying to get to know them better. Everyone's a little nervous on the first day of high school, but if you smile at people and ask them questions about themselves, they'll definitely open up to you and you'll gradually become more comfortable with talking to people. Hope that helps! x0x0

I just graduated 6th grade today, and even the smallest things make me burst out into tears. I'm crying right now just writing about it. How am I ever going to get over it, and I CAN'T just forget about it. Only three people cried and I cried the worst I literally couldn't breathe I was crying so hard and I felt like puking I was crying that much. Please help this is horribly sad I grew up way too fast.




hey girl,

congrats on your graduation! there is nothing to be upset about! none of us can avoid growing up--all you can do every day is to do everything you can to seize it!  Make the most out of every day and enjoy all the moments of your life, so you won't feel like your life just passed you by Smile Have fun!

Mod- I have two questions
I just just found out my parents are sending me to this summer school/ summer camp for the whole mounth of July because they were disappointed with my grades this year because I did not make high honnors. They except me to when I did my best this year. I already promised them I will do better next year. I told them I didn't want to go and they told me I had to go and that I should me ashamed of myself. Should I try talking to them again or should I just forgot about it?
- And How long does it take for a club to be approved?

Hey girl,

I so wish I could offer
some great advice. Unfortunately since I’m not an expert on the matter, I don’t
want to point you in the wrong direction. Try having a chat with the good old
‘rents. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to help you get things squared
away.

I am really sad that our school play is ending for the year. What can I do to get myself to not cry at the cast party? I got a major lead this year, so now the play is an especially soft spot in my heart.




Hey girlie,

I totally understand - I just graduated, so leaving everyone was really tough for me too. You'll have ups and downs, and it's important to remember that it's actually BETTER to cry when you feel the need. That way, you won't let your emotions build up and they won't take you by surprise whenever they finally come out. Chances are, you'll wanna cry at one or two times, especially: 1) if you see one of your good friends tearing up, or 2) at the end of the night when it's quiet and you're driving home. It's ok! Just make sure the crying doesn't keep you from enjoying the last night with everyone. Take pictures, reminisce on all your crazy, fun, silly memories together, and have a blast. The reason why you want to cry is because the experience was SO amazing - be grateful for that and never forget it! <3

I'M going on a class trip to Disneyland and everyone is going in groups... well my only friend is going with girls i had issues with this year that hate me. My so so friends are going with other girls ive had issues with. My boyfriend is going with the guys i had issues with. What do i do? theres no one to go with there were a lot of rumors spread about me this year so no one really wants to hang out with me. Should i just go alone?




Hey girl, I'd tag along with the best of these groups, i.e. which one can you tolerate the most? Try to prove the rumors wrong and don't just assume these people have issues with you. They might like you more than you think. So have a good time and leave the drama behind. If you just be polite and yourself, you'll be fine no matter what group you go with.

I am going to 2 graduation (high school) parties tomorrow. Should I bring a gift for them? They are both just friends from church/youth group and I'm 2 years younger than them.
Thank you so much!




Hey girl, it's typically a good idea to bring a card and a little money ($15 to 20 as a gift, but nothing too much) but you don't have to. I think the best thing you can do for them instead is write a letter about how much they mean to you. That letter will mean more to them than any gift in the years to come.

I am not graduating and going to a new school. I'm just leaving 6th grade and going to 7th. I'm really scared because from what I've herd a few of the teachers are really mean. My dad used to teach 7th grade and he told me that that I when a lot o people go their separate ways. But I don't wanna lose any of my friends. They are all great. What should I do to prevent us from branching out?

I was talking with my close friends last week what it will be like when we all graduate from high school and how some of us may or may not stay in touch. Since its seems so far away it doesnt bother me but then it really isnt that far away when you think about it. It makes me feel sad in a way but what else can you do and feel when you have great friends.

I am trying to start a mag of my own with some of my friends. We did something like Dear Carol in GL. One girl emailed me this question. It was:
I feel depressed all the time, and like no one really likes me. I'm such a pathetic loser with no friends. Life isn't very fun at all. What in the world should I do?
-Lonesome Loser
The girl who is answering the question's mom is a social worker. I emailed the girl and told her she needs to at least tell her parents so they can help her. She told her mom. I'm happy that I helped someone. Her mom said she had no idea, and that she is so glad that the girl told her so that the mom! I just feel so pathetic that I can't help her even more! Should I talk to her some more about it, or leave it be? I can tell she seems a bit happier already.




Hey girlie,

I think you did the right thing already by telling someone older and with more experience with this kinda stuff. But you don't wanna embarrass the girl - she wrote in anonymously, so by talking to her more about it you might make her uncomfortable. But it would definitely be nice to try to include the girl in fun plans, pair up with her in class, or even just smile at her in the hallways. Every little bit helps to make people feel better about themselves Smile

MOD!!
every morning i walk with my guy friend to one of my classes and for a long time now i've been thinking and been positive that he likes me and my friend thinks so too. so this morning we were walking and his friend tapped me on the shoulder and said "you know zack likes you, right?" i didn't really reply and zack didn't say anything either but i completely changed the subject when his friends walked away. i've been wanting to know if he likes me for so long now, so should i talk to him about it?




Hey girlie,

Sure, go for it! Do you like Zack too? Would you be interested spending more time together and getting to know him? And would you also be ok if, whether or not he actually likes you, he acts a little uncomfortable and maybe isn't as honest as you'd like? As long as you're cool with what might come out of it (either way), there's really nothing to lose. Get some one-on-one time with him and say that you've been getting some hints that he might like ya, and you wanted to go straight to the source to see if it's true. As long as you stay warm and friendly (not pushy), it'll go fine! Smile
