These sound really interesting! Two of my favorites would be "Elijah of Buxton" and "Bud Not Buddy", both by Christopher Paul Curtis. They are AMAZING reads. Smile

A girl I know (note: not really a friend) invited me to her party. She's new at our school this year, and hasn't made many close friends. The problem is that she scheduled the party on the day of the dance I really want to go to. The girl threatens me and says how much better she is than me all the time, but I'd still feel bad if I ditched the party for the dance. Should I, even if she's mean to me?




Hey girl,

Which do you really want to go to more? Are your friends all going to be at the dance? Will you have a better time there? Or are you trying to avoid her party because you aren't really friends with her? There's nothing wrong with turning down her invitation if you had plans beforehand! Try not to feel bad and make the choice that works best for you <3 Just be sincere and apologize for not being able to make it! It's her own decision to schedule it during a dance!

Thanks so muchSmile That's what I thought,and yeah,I didn't want to be intimidating since he's super shy. And I noticed I'm kind of intimidating to guys,I usual approach them first. I am totally me around people because I mean,come on,they'd eventually find out,right? And 'me' is pretty confident. How can I be less intimidating to guys?
Thanks soooo much! You guys are awesome Smile




Hey girlie,

It's totally right to be Y-O-U when talking to guys! Don't change for anyone! To be a little less intimidating though, remember to smile and give them time to talk. Ask them questions about themselves and look interested while they talk. Don't interrupt them! That's the best way to make them feel equal in the flirt-relationship Smile
