I have a cousin who’s a year younger than me that I'm worried about. She's dating a boy who's a couple years older than her, and he's in a gang. She said that she told him she doesn't like him being in the gang, and that he's going to try to get outta it, but I'm still worried.

 

Even if he DOES get out of the gang, I'm worried that they could get angry or something and go after him, and she might be with him when that happens. Her mom knows that they're dating, but she doesn't know that her BF is in a gang. My cuz said she'd tell her mom after Christmas, but I'm still worried.

 

I can't tell my mom or else she might tell my cousin’s mom, and she might get in trouble and never trust me again. What should I do?

 

You’re in a very tough sitch, girl. Fam comes first, and when you see a family member in a difficult and potentially dangerous situation, of course you want to help. It might be best to confront your cousin first. After all, your opinion will mean something to her, and it’s important that she hears it. Urge her to talk to her mom, or to another adult who can give her sound advice.

 

If she’s not hearin’ ya and you’re still really worried? It won’t be the worst thing in the world to talk to your mom about it. Explain that you don’t want your cuz to know that you tattled, but that you’re worried and aren’t sure what to do. Your mom will understand and know what to do.

 

Hopefully the situation isn’t as dire as you’re imagining. But it’s always best to stay on the safe side, and that means clueing in an adult to what’s going on. It might be hard for your cousin to hear your fam’s concern, but in the end, she’ll understand that you’re just lookin’ out for her. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD Alright I have two questions:
1. What are some really good anti-dandruff shampoos that won't make my hair blow up?
2. I really wanna get my eyebrows done because they're really thick and bushy. My mom says I can't do waxing/tweezing, I have to do threading just like her. She won't let me get it done right now because she says I'll have to stay on top of it and go regularly, otherwise my eyebrows will look uglier than they already are. I wanna know how long does threading last? My mom knows threading well but she says I have to get it done professionally the first time. Do you think that after the first time she can do it to me herself at home? Haha, sorry this is so long. Thanks!!!







Hey girlie. For your first question, the top rated anti-dandruff shampoos are Garnier Fructis Fortifying Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Herbel Essence's Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Head and Shoulders Intensive Treatment Shampoo, and Aveda Scalp Benefits Balance Shampoo. Either of these would be a great choice when dealing with dandruff

As for your second question, it probably would be good to your eyebrows through a professional threader first and ask their opinion to see if its ok for your mother to do it on you afterwards. My friend actually did threading for the first time a couple of months ago and has done it ever since. Her eyebrows always look sharp and clean right afterwards and it only takes 15 minutes.

ok watever u do..dont cause drama. thts gonna make the whole problem worse. just convince her to tell her mom at a rite time (whatever u think is) and maybe itll help if u have a chance to go with her, it may make her feel less uncomfortable. but if she dusnt want u sayin anythin...then DONT! not unless u see that shes in real danger...or so much danger tht shes gonna die or sumthin. hopefully u know wat i mean....and i hope this helps. if not then screw it.

Tell your mom, for sure! If you don't, you won't know what might happen to your cousin or her boyfriend. In the end though, she'll be appreciative that you saved her! Smile
