Such a sweetheart!?

I don't have a backbone and I know it, but now it's starting to catch up with me. Everyone says that I'm so sweet and wouldn't harm a fly. If I talk about doing something tough they always laugh. And I'm TIRED of it.


How do I get more of a backbone?


Hey girl,

It’s a great thing that people think of you as a sweetheart and genuinely nice girl, but of course it can be tough when people don't take you seriously when it comes to standing up for yourself!


Let your friends know that you love being known as the nice girl but at the same time you have another side too—which means you need to be respected when you say NO to something.


If something bothers you, speak up; don’t let it slide. Even something small, like your friends wanting to go out for sushi when you’re so not into it. Nicely suggest doing something else. “Hey guys, I’m a li’l sick of sushi, how about we try a game of bowling instead? I heard there’s fun music on Friday nights!” Offering your unique opinion plus a fun reason is a surefire way to get your friends to understand ya.


Remember, having a backbone doesn’t mean you necessarily have to be mean. Be firm, be fair, be honest, speak up and stick to your opinions. Your friends will be sure to catch on quick and see a whole new side of you!

MOD! I have a problem. I am sooooooooooo skinny and I eat sooooo much and I don't know how I don't bareley gain much weight, but I say it all goes in the toilet. I'm 12 and I way less than 85 pounds! What's wrong with me!?

 

 

Hey girly, what do you mean it all goes in the toilet? You're not throwing up are you? I just have to make sure. If not, some girls just have a high metabolism, and are skinnier than others. You'll shape out as you get older, and you won't always be as super skinny as you are now. If you're eating healthy and being active, then you have nothing to worry about! Smile

4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck!

There are definatley situations that call for asserting yourself.
The next time your friends say that you don't have a backbone, tell them that you don't want to come across as mean, but you really do have your own opinions, whether they are nice or not.
The most important thing to do is to is to be straight up with people instead of sitting in the background being trampled.
Hope this helps!

Good for you gal, for being a sweet girl. I can relate in a lot of ways. I'll do almost anything for anyone. You need to learn to say no sometimes, and also that saying no is alright. You're friends won't get mad at you for it. If they're any sort of good friends they'll be perfectly alright with it.

Hey, I like cute, casual summery dresses. I think the strapless would be fine. I'd go with dangly earrings and wear your hair half-up, half-down or add a side braid.

WHAT DID III DO WRONG?? should i just go afte a differnt guy and tell another guy we shou;d go out? But this guy isnt just a friend he was a best friend of 6 years!!! i think it is slowly turing to love....or is it friendship i am falling for? id know what to do. i almost just wanna cry.the sad part is i think i knowi can NEVER have him.. but people tell me all time he likes me too.n should i have never told him? DIDi ruin our friendship? or is he scared too? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEE!!!!!




Hey babe, who knows, guys are so confusing! I would just talk to him and ask what's going on. If he said to take it slow then he seems like he was on-board with the relationship as well so just talk it out and see what happens.

Hey !
I have really hairy brows ! It's accutally embarrasing ! I was brave enough to ask my mum , and sahe said yes ! I am nervous about getting them done ! Do you think I should ? Does it hurt that much ? And what is the overall result ? I read the artical " Bushy Brows" it didn't really help ! I hope you can ! Thanks




Hey babe,


It's waxing, so it hurts a bit, but not that much and a professional will shape them so they suit your face and that natural shape of your brows. Once you get them done once you can pluck them back into that shape yourself on your own, so, yeah, I recommend it

i even told the girl i was sorry,but i also told her if she ever hit me again i will repeat the process over (:

she never messed with me again
but it took me 5 years to stand up for myself.
i dunno why but for some reason people are drawn to pick on me.But dont EVER let people hit you and get away with it.cause then they will keep doing it,because they know you will not do anything about it.Even when two of my besties put powder all over me,i told them to stop and they didnt so i kicked one of them into a wall.but thats because they hit me . i guess they didnt get the "i can be mean "memo.but i am really nice most of the time.

Thanks Allie! One more question..
Me and my best friend started a babysitting business. We havent had any calls until today. My friend said they need us for Friday. But.. my friend is on vacation then and I might be. Its kind of a choice to leave friday or saturday. I'd like to leave Friday morning of course, to havve more time. But since this is a first job, its hard to say no to the family. Me and my friend have this business together though and she wont be there for sure. She knows these people and I dont... What should i tell the lady who wants us to babysit?




Hey babe,

Talk to your client and see if she minds you babysitting and not your friend. If she'd rather have someone who knows her kids already that might get rid of the problem altogether. Apart from that, you have to decide for yourself if you'd rather make money or go on vacation. One is an instant payoff and one will probably payoff more later. It depends on what you think is more important

well me and my first friend didn't exactly have this agreement. We talked about it once in like 4th or 5th grade. Ever since this i just think we always ASSUMED we would be locker partneres. But my other best friend, Lauren, sometimes feels like me and Steph always are together but really i DO like them the same amoount. SO... what should i DO?

Hey babe,

If they're still  your friends they probably don't think you sound dumb. stop worrying so much about what to say and just enjoy the conversation. If you really want to have something to say you can always ask questions (because everyone likes to talk about themselves a little bit) or tell them about something funny or interesting that you saw that day or that happened to you

MOD,
I have a bit of a problem. Me and my BFF (Steph) were locker partners last year. My other really close friend (Lauren) was locker partners with her other friend named Maddie. Me and my BFF kinda talked about how we would probly be able to always be locker partners. I THINK this year in 8th grade you can be with anybody in the grade, where in the past they had to be in your home room. Lauren isn't friends with Maddie anymore so they won't be locker partners. The only reason they were earlier is cuz they were in the same homeroom, and me and my BFF were in the same homeroom. I just got a text from Lauren that asked if i wanted to be locker partners. I was afraid this might happen. Cuz like I was planning to be with Steph again but they are both my BFF's and I dont want one of them to be mad at me. And once I know who I will be with, how do I tell the other friend??? or should i just have them work it out with each other? IDK!!! please help, i'm in a pickle Frown




Hey babe,

If you already had an agreement with your first friend you should let her have first dibs on being your locker partner Let Lauren know that it's not because you don't like her as much and that it's just because your other friend asked first. she should understand

What is the best way to build lean, strong, and big muscles? I hate being so skinny.




Hey babe,

Try some weight lifting exercises to help put on some muscle and don't be afraid to eat a little bit more, especially carbs.

I hate to make people mad or sad.So I never stick up for myyself.My friend totally disagree with me though.I have no idea sometimes how to handle a situation.I don't have any strength in myself.I know I am going to have to since I am going to Middle School next year.
Please help me find strength in myself!!




Hey babe,

This is a really common problem but it's still tough. There's a really fine line between being a total pushover and being a bully and that's where you've got to try to be. It's tough to find that compromise and avoid becoming either one! Next time you're in a situation where you need to stand up for yourself, just politely ask the person to try to see it from your situation. Talk about how you're feeling and how you think he/she must be feeling. It's a good way to start making people think about what your opinion is without being too forceful and it's a great way to resolve a conflict, if you can both appreciate where the other one is coming from and find a compromise.

MOD!!!
I have a friend who is very selfish. Everything always has to be about her. If it is about someone else for once, she figures out a way to make it about her. I am not the only one who see's it. My whole "group" see's it to. If we are all just sitting around talking she will start irish dancing just so everyone will look at her (she is an irish dancer). I can't take it anymore. My friends and i never invite her to do things with us because she is that bad. And yesterday she complained about never being invited to things and i didn't know wat to say.For example there is a guy that she likes and he likes her to and she knows it, but everyday she has to ask are you she he likes me? AAAHHHH it makes me upset. I don't know wat to do and need your HELP PLEASE!




Hey babe,

I think you need to tell your needy friend how you feel. Try not to attack her, just let her know that you find it annoying and know that she doesn't mean to do it. It will probably hurt her feelings at first but if you're really clear about how much you care about her and want her to change her ways she should get the message. The other way to go is to just stop paying attention to her when she acts this way. Ignore her questions about this guy, ignore her dancing, and maybe eventually she'll realize that this isn't the way to get attention.

I'm super sweet and sensitive, too! It's great being like that because everybody wants to be your friend. But I can totally understand the "tough" thing. I'm really small compared to my friends, so when I say something tough, they kind of laugh and kid around. Voice your opinion, and your friends will respect you. Rock on! And good luck!

every time i get the new issue i am disappointed bc they never have any styling ideas for girls with shorter hair. Y is that?




Hey babe,

I think it might be because the options for shorter hair are kind of limited and hard to keep fresh from issue to issue. We'll try to get something in there for the next issue!

hi, i have a little problem. all of a sudden the mascara and eyeliner i'm using is starting to irritate my eyes. do you know a brand where i can find some stuff that is really organic? thanks!




Hey babe,

If it's happening suddenly, it might not be your makeup. Have you changed anything else lately? If it is your makeup, make sure you're using a recognizable brand (like L'Oreal or Maybeline or Covergirl or something) because they usually have less irritants. I can't think of any organic brand off the top of my head, and I'm not sure that would help you anyway. If you think you are having a reaction to something in the makeup, try going a few days without it to be sure.

Hey girl!  Good thing is there was a whole summer in between this boy drama and now so chances are the whole thing could just blow over!  For all you know, they're minds have changed and they might like someone else now... which would be perfect for you!  So don't worry about it!  I'm sure things will fall into place once the new school year kicks off!
