How to have helpful friends



Check these out, too...

  • 10 tips for acing your AP tests
  • 5 last-minute ways to lift your grades
  • 3 signs you need to give your study group the boot
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
  • How to get closer with a girl you kinda sorta know
Here’s a school assignment for you: Surround yourself with a group of gals whose unique qualities will help you to make the most of every semester. These are the pals you’ve gotta have in your circle from morning announcements until the dismissal bell rings…

 

The Head Cheerleader

No pompoms or flirty skirt required, this girl is packin’ a healthy wallop of wahoo! When you feel less than motivated, she’s the go-to gal for a tender lovin’ shove in the let’s-get-it-done direction. Why? She has loads of energy and an infinitely sunny outlook on life.

 

The Study Buddy

She’s not necessarily the smartest girl in your grade, but she’s right up there in conscientiousness. You know, that trait that warms teachers up to you so they give ya bonus points just for quality of effort. This girl is sooo down with it.

 

The Guidance Counselor

It’s hard to concentrate in class when something super-heavy is crunching your brain. Maybe you had to bury your pet, or you’r ehaving a major blowout with your BF after three-and-a-half weeks of bliss. Ah, trouble in paradise.

 

Look to your no-nonsense pal to put it into perspective for you. She’s rational, low-key and keeps everything top secret.

 

The Role Model

She’s the yearbook editor a grade ahead of you—and you want her post when she moves on. Or it’s that girl on your gymnastics team who always scores gold.

 

Tune in to how she crops an image or sticks a dismount. Let her pave the way for you to join her on the pedestal.

MOD MOD MOD MOD OK so tomorrow im starting a new school and im really scared. I have tons of friends because ive been to a few different schools (no more than five schools). But now i dont feel so confident about meeting new people. My family says that ill make friends no problem because im a like-able person but what if i dont. And now i hear about people being bullied and i never got bullied before. Every school i went to there was no bully. Help please. Im scared and confused any advice?? Frown

 

Hey girl!  I know it can be totally nerve-wracking to make a change, even if you've done it before.  So it's totally normal to be a bit worried!  But you can handle this.  Even if you're nervous, smile, be positive, and say hi to a few people.  If you can get involved in a club or activity, that would help make the change.  Don't worry about bullies just yet - if it comes up, you can always talk to a parent, counselor, or one of your new buds!  Also, check out this article for some tips from Dear Carol:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/08/06/new-girl-in-school.aspx.  Good luck!  xoxo
