Tough Stuff

Girl Talk: Family Feud

 

My mom and step dad fight all the time and my mom usually ends up crying. I don’t get in trouble, but my sister does. The fights are usually about her. She is always making a mess just so my mom can pick it up. And she never says thank you to my mom (she’s 9). My step dad says it’s my mom’s job to pick them up, and she shouldn’t get mad. What should I do to make my house a bit more peaceful?

-MissRG

Hey MissRG,

It’s tough when parents fight because as much as you want to, there’s usually nothing you can do to make things better. And sometimes parents don’t realize how much it really affects you, too. When they’re fighting, try to stay out of it. Let them deal with their problems without getting you involved. Sometimes opening your mouth just adds fuel to the fire, and we don’t want that.

If a lot of the fights are stemming from things involving your sister, try to have a sit down with her and help her identify these things that are disrupting the harmony in your household. Come up with solutions together on how to prevent them. If your mom and step dad are fighting a lot about cleaning up your sister’s messes, then help your sister come up with ways to make sure she cleans up after herself. Try to get her to understand that being more responsible for her own actions might help everyone in the long run.

<3 Jessie M.

MOD! I need help! PLease help me.
What do you do when the guy you have an understanding with, Noah, has late night/early morning AIM conversations with his old crush, Christine? Noah's old crush who still likes him a lot, but he doesn't think likes him anymore? Noah was the one to move on first, and Christine never did, but he's oblivious. He thinks she moved on "a week later." I'm like...no. No, it doesn't work like that. All her Facebook status updates, literally, are about him. I swear. It's sickening and he doesn't even know it. Noah said he likes me, I'm at the top of his list, he wants a relationship with me, etc. He's been saying this for a while now, and that's he's liked me since the fall (I've liked him since July). Should I be worried, though? Because he liked Christine in the winter. I mean, I trust that what he's saying about us is true; that he wants a relationship. But I do NOT like Christine at all, even before I found out that they used to like each other (and that she still has feelings). They were going to try a LDR, but he didn't want to, and to me he said that he wants one with me when he goes to Duke in the fall (so that makes me think he's more serious about me). But Christine is coming home in like 3-4 days from college and no one knows about me and Noah yet, because there's ANOTHER girl (my friend-Kailey) in the situation who likes him a lot, and Noah and I don't want to cause drama (Noah and Kailey just went to prom as friends over the weekend, but he doesn't like her like that and Kailey has no idea he likes me). So...Christine will come back from college...flirt with him...and I'll be like...punch you in the face. And Kailey, my friend, will be hurting with me because of Christine's flirting, but she'd be hurting even more if she finds out about us!
What do I do?

On the old site it had the top five favorite articles, and one was a kissing one. I wanted to read it, but I can't find it. Can you help??


Because we switched to a new site, we're still working on getting all the old articles up and running. But they're coming soon! -Cindy

justgottaloveit::
dont buy too much at once. that way, you can always buy new stuff if your old stuff isnt "cool" anymore. also, you could add some jazz to your old ones to make them seem new, like a few rips or buttons if youre into design. also, have basic things that are always in style like jeans, flip flops, cute casual sneakers, knit tops, and t-shirts.


im not really a laundry diva, so i cant help you with the strethcing part. maybe you could get things a size smaller? idk, sorry.

**MOD**
This is a question & I just need someone to tell this to. Today, my dad dropped me off @ the front doors of the school @ around 10 becuz I had a doctor's appointment. I saw this other class in my grade walking around the side and when I got to the doors, I rang the bell, cuz the doors r usually locked. Some1 in the office unlocked them, when 4 guys who were in the front of the line and ahead of every1 else in their class were right behind me. 1 of them (I don't know who) said, "Hey cutie." I think he was joking, and everyone started sniggering and saying, "who said that?" I rolled my eyes and went inside, locking the guys out. Even though they knocked on the door, I just left and didn't open it for them. Now I'm scared cuz maybe their teacher and the rest of there class was behind them, even though I only saw the 4 guys. Do you think that was the right thing to do? Now, I'm scared to get near their class or anything. I'm not even sure he said it to me. What should I do?

Posted by: *burnt_by_love* on 4/29/2008 1:52:07 PM

OMG LaLaLand* I love love love GG!! They are too cute together! I hope they last as a couple. I've read all of the books too, and guess what? They are starting up the series again, only with new people! I hope it's still as good, because I love GG.

Posted by: heyxxmickey on 4/29/2008 1:55:25 PM

anyone here? I'm bored and have no school tomorrow, so I don't need to finish all of my hw tonight. There's teacher inservice or something. Yeah, so please talk!

Posted by: heyxxmickey on 4/29/2008 1:58:30 PM

burnt_by_love-
I'm mot sure if I get exactly what ur saying. but it sounds like not a big deal at all. You should've opened it for them, but it doesn't really matter that you didn't. I don't think there's anything that you can/should do now, just next time (if there's a next time) u should open the door for someone who knocks. and once the teacher got there, couldn't she unlock the door?

Posted by: daisymae on 4/29/2008 2:25:21 PM

Question: how do you get the cute little hearts? I love them, but I can't figure out how to get them...


You can press ALT and the number 3 in the box thing. -Cindy

Posted by: heyxxmickey on 4/29/2008 2:25:51 PM

Hey Cindy, is Ashley modding, or is has she just not logged out yet, because yesterday, Jana (I think it was Jana) said she forgot. Just wondering.


That's another kink in the system. Ashley's is stuck there so she's always logged in. I don't think she can log out. -Cindy

Posted by: heyxxmickey on 4/29/2008 2:28:06 PM

daisymae-
I'll chat, what's up??

Posted by: M... on 4/29/2008 2:32:32 PM

Posted by: daisymae on 4/29/2008 2:36:08 PM

daisymae-

M...- I am board, I have hw to do but I will do it in homeroom.

mod***
in a few weeks, there is a fair in my town. a bunch of the guys have been asking girls to go with them. i really want to go with someone, but no one has asked me yet, and i don't think anyone will. how can i get a guys attention so that he will ask me to the fair? i really wanna go with a guy, but someone needs to ask me first!! and i don't wanna ask a guy because i would be too scared


Maybe you can talk to a guy you don't mind going with and hint that you need a date.  Say something like "I'm so excited for the fair but I wish I had someone to go with! Do you have someone you're going with?" Good luck finding a date! -Cindy

Posted by: pinkmagic366 on 4/29/2008 2:44:19 PM

daisymae-
yeah, I should be doing my hw now too, but I'm saving it for after the game. I probably won't even start til like after 8. hmmm... maybe I should start now.

Posted by: M... on 4/29/2008 2:45:56 PM

Thanks Cindy! £. It didn't work! Am I supposed to press shift also? Or maybe it will show up differently when I post it...
