I can't do sit-ups! Normally, people can go all the way up and back down and they can do 40 of them. But me, I can only do 3. Also, sometimes I can't even sit all the way up. I can only go halfway. It is really embarrassing. Is there something wrong with me? If I have weak stomach muscles, can you suggest any workout to help it? Thanks!

Hey girl,

If you keep practicing, you will build muscle and be able to do more and more situps! You can also add crunches into your workout to strengthen your ab muscles as well.

I am starting high school this year and I don't know what to bring. Usually, there is a school supply list on the school website, but it only has supplies for elementary and middle school students. Should I bring one or two notebooks, folders, binders? Also, I don't have a backpack or bag yet for school, and I don't think I will be getting one so I want to carry all of it in my arms. So, what do you recommend for me to bring on the first day of school? Thanks!




Hey girlie!

Sometimes high school's don't give you back to school lists. Instead, teachers will tell you what you need or their class on the first day. Instead of going in empty handed the first day, I would definitely grab a binder, some paper, and a pencil at least. Keep it as light as you can so it won't be such a burden to carry it all! Good luck on your first day!

I am starting high school this year and I want to start fresh and make friends. I was always the shy kid in middle school and didn't hang out with anyone. How can I be more social, outgoing, and confident? How can I start the conversation with another person because whenever I do, we have nothing to say and it is awkward. Also, how do I ask them for their phone number or ask them to hangout? If I am want to text someone, what do I say if I have nothing to say? Sorry about all the questions but I never had a phone before, or hang out with anyone. I think that making more friends will get me out of being lonely... anyways, thank you.

 

Hey chica! Join clubs! High school has TONS of clubs, so you'll be able to find people who you have stuff in common with (which is a great conversation starter!).  If you don't have anything to talk about, don't start a texting conversation- the great thing about texting is you can text someone later, when you do have something to say!  And to ask people to hang out, just have an activity in mind (like the premiere of your fave show) and ask them to come over for that (or go to a movie, or whatever).  Having an activity in midn will also give you something to do! xoxo

I am feeling really sad/depressed these few days. I think it is because I don't have any friends to hang out or talk to. This whole summer, I have not talked to any of my friends. I mean, every summer is like that. I never felt this way before. Also, my dad,sister, and mom thinks that I should be more social and hang out with friends at least once a month. Whenever I think of my problem, I get really sad. That is why I try to occupy myself so my mind doesn't wander off. I also think that my family is too good for me. I have a brother who also doesn't hang out with friends. I have negative thoughts too. I keep thinking that when the school year starts, I will be better because I will see other people and I can occupy myself with homework. I have no thoughts about suicide though, so that's a good thing. Please help me and give me any advice on getting over this stage. Thanks a lot!
From,
the sad child

 

 Hey girl! Take your fam's suggestion and call your friends for a big sleepover before school starts.  Your fam isn't "too good for you" they love you! Obviously, since they're concerned for you, they care about you, which means they don't think they're too good for you.  For stage fright, try remembering that the audience doesn't know the exact stuff that you're supposed to be doing, so if you make a little mistake, they probably won't notice. xoxo
