I'll miss my college-bound sis


 

Check these out, too...

  • Does my brother have ADD, or is he just annoying?
  • Tell us: Why is your dad the best ever?
  • Should I set up my sis with her crush?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
  • Oy vey! Am I allowed to have this crush?
My sister is going off to college. She is excited, but I am sad.  I can text and email her, but I’ll still be lonely.  We do everything together, and now that is going to change.

 

Dear I’ll Miss my Sis,

Have a great sister spring/summer, and know that she’ll always be a phone call or IM away.  If you’re good at staying in touch, you may find that you appreciate each other in whole new ways.  The transition may be hard for your parents, too, so if you ever feel like saying, “Wanna play Scrabble?” or “Let’s go for Chinese,” they might be up for it.  Another bright side: You could plan a really fun weekend on campus.

recently my mom,little bro and i where at the mall to see my friend and a bunch of other kids sing.so any way... we came arcross a sales woman who was selling lotion. and she asked my mom if she wanted to try some lotion(sorry i cant spell)so my mom ended up buying buying some kind of lotion and nail kit. but sometime in between there my mom asked me if i wanted it and i said no but she bought one for me too. and she bought some kind of face cleaner too. sooo... really the thing is i think my mom bought something she didnt want that was around $100 or more all together. and i feel like it was my fault. is there anything i can do? ive thought about selling it online for the price she paid then give her the money... (sorry its so long)




 Hey girl,

The best thing that you can do is just to use it, since that's why your mom bought it in the first place. She'll really appreciate that you're using it and you may even end up really liking it! x0x0

MODMODMOD!!! ok so i have this british accent along with my american one
its kinda weird and it sometimes pops up when i sing... what should i do?




Hey girl, I wouldn't mind it. It's what makes you you. We all have unique voices so just embrace yours. It's doubtful anyone else tells as much as you do. We're our own worst critic.

My big sister is getting married next spring, and she chose me to be her maid of honor!Smile The problem is, I'm 15, so I'm not really sure what my job is, especially since I can't arrange everything or help as much as her other bridesmaids, since they can drive around and all that. Any advice? Thanks soooo much!Smile




Hey Girl,




Although you can't drive yet, that doesn't mean you can't offer support to your sister. Ask her if there's any way you can help her to prepare. Maybe she will let you scope out bridesmaid's dresses online or something like that. Even if there's nothing she needs help with, the idea that you care will mean a lot to her!

I totally understand how you feel! My older sibling went to college and I was depressed for a couple of months, but my parents let me get a dog. So, maybe try to surround yourself with people you love, and maybe even get a dog. Schedule a few weekends with your sis, just you and her. Maybe even drive up and give her suprise visits or give her a call when you are super lonely. That always helps. If you can, get a Skype to talk to her in person on a particular day of the week. Don't worry though, everything will be okay, I know you can push through.

Today, my mom asked me to get mine and my 2 sisters bathroom trash can because it's garbage day. Well, clumsy old me tripped and dropped everything out of the trash can, so I ran out to my dads workshop to get some rubber gloves to pick it all up, when I saw a pregnancy test. The test read positive, and I don't know who's it is! It could be my Mom, but she said she doesn't want anymore (she has 3) or it could be my 16 year old sister Belle, because she has a boyfriend and her period, or it could be my 13 year old sister Sabrina, but I doubt it since she doesn't even have a boyfriend. And it cant be me because I don't have my period or a boyfriend (I'm 11). And it's only me and my parents and my 2 older sisters in the house. Who's could it be? Should I tell my mom? Please help!

Hey girl,

This is a tough one! I would talk to your mom first and let her know what you found. I would tell her in private and just say you want to make sure everything is okay with either her and your two sisters.
