My friend doesn't wash her hands after going to the bathroom. It's disgusting.


Should I tell her? I don't want to embarrass her.

 
-Clueless

Dear Clueless,
 

Many people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I'm glad you do! You can say something, though it might be awkward. Keep setting a good example and if you're ever about to bake together, speak up with a casual, "Let's wash our hands first."

 

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD!
One of my friends still picks her nose and eats it, and she goes to middle school! It is really sick! Especially when we read books in class and tries to hide behind her book and does it. Should I tell her when I see her do it?




Hey! maybe not in class, but take her aside and be like yo, you're not as sneaky as you think, do you really want other people to see that?

MOD MOD MOD My friend has REALLY bad BO and i dont think she wears deoderant....... i dont want to be mean, but somebody needs to tell her. How, though? What do i say?

 

 

Hey chica, maybe you could go deoderant shopping for yourself, and bring her along. Look for different scents to buy, and offer her them to smell. Ask her which kind she uses, for a suggestion. Then, he she says that she doesn't use any, suggest that she grab some.

I hate it when people don't wash their hands after they go to the bathroom or before they eat! Do they know how many germs are ontheir hands?
