I'm totally starstruck

 

 

 

Check these out, too...

  • Period panic! What if I get it at school?
  • All I want is some privacy
  • Am I bi? I'm just not sure
  • Turning 16--but I don't want to grow up
  • I can't stop tearing my hair out--help!
I am what you would call starstruck. I always dream about meeting certain actors and actresses. Why can I be like everyone else and like the boy next door?
 
Dear Starstruck,
Stars shine brightest in magazines and interviews. In real life, celebs have to brush and floss just like the rest of us. That said, many girls like to read up on the rich and famous. Which is fine—unless you’re waking up miserable because you aren’t a certain actor’s best friend or main squeeze. If it’s no longer fun to be a fan, get busier with you’re here and now. 
 
Take up a new sport or instrument. Start a monthly book club with friends and maybe even their moms. Take an acting class and if your community has a theater, audition. You may be a star yourself someday—but you’ll still have to brush and floss! As for the boy next door, perhaps you don’t yet feel ready for the roller coaster of real romance.  And that’s fine.

Honey it sounds like youre going through a lot. However this is all something thats really hard to deal with by yourself. As for me helping, i dont think theres a lot i can do. There are such things at teen help hotlines where you can call and anonymously talk to people. I think this will really help you. Heres a number: 866 4 U TREVOR. Theyll be able to listen to your problems and help you. Good luck! xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD!!!soBone of my my best friends is awesome,but when i go around my other friends...she flips!! idk what to do!wen i try too talk too her,she always thinks im going too leave her in the dust with some new friends and she always wants too hang with me 24/7....i dont know what to do with this problem...and dont say talk too her cause i tried that!!! But if shed hanging w someone else she wants me to go away and sometimes leaves me in the dust and likes to cause fights! Idk wat to do! She doesn't act like my bff in front of ppl and I barely trust her! She only wants to hang w me 24/7 if she can't find someone else and if I want to tell someone else somryjig it don't work w our her being mosey but yet I can't be!!!




Well if you want to hang out with other people you can invite her along. If shes not up for that then tell her sorry i want to hang out with these people and just do it. If you dont trust her and she doesnt act like a friend you may want to reevaluate your friendship with her. Maybe some distance will do you two some good. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hey girl, I am sorry but this is difficult for me. I can relate in that I have lost lots of loved ones that I was close to. I know it is really tough. You have to try to move on, without forgetting them. And I know that is tough. I would try to think of the positive things in life. Think of good things about yourself instead of bad. Tell yourself how great you are in the morning instead of how ugly you (think) you are. Put up post-it notes around your room with positive messages. Otherwise I am not really sure how to help you since you don't want to talk to anyone. I guess just don't give up. Your life is definitely worth living. Don't ever give up!
