ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

I don't measure up to the preppy girls


 
These girls in my school are really preppy and live in really cool big houses and wear all new clothes. They are nice to me, but sometimes I think they are laughing at me behind my back.

 

Dear Not As Fortunate,

It can be hard when other girls seem to have bigger houses or newer clothes than you. But no matter how much you have, there is always someone out there who has more. So rather than dwell on your comparisons and what others have, you’re better off looking at what you do have. Do you have a loving family? Are you rich in friends? What are your special talents? You say you are not as fortunate, but money is not the only measurement. And I doubt these girls are laughing at you anymore than you would laugh at a girl whose home is smaller than yours.

 

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

my spanish teacher is pretty nice but she's kinda irresponsible. we had to do an oral presentation and she said my group got an A-. well she put my grade in, (and i can see it cuz we have this thing where we can check our grades online) and it says my group got a B-!! i'm upset because it brought my grade down. plus grading ends soon and school's out so what can i do? i emailed her but i'm afraid she won't know and i'll have a lower grade cuz of it. help!!!




Hey girlie! Your teacher should be checking her email since it's during the grading period, so all you can really do is wait it out. Is it possible that she's still at school and could one of your parents drive you over to talk to her in person about it? In any case, it's a good idea to tell Mom or Dad about your situation. She or he might have some good ideas as to how you could handle it.

Hey, don't feel bad. At my school everyone always dresses really sloppy and I feel weird because I dress really trendy. Try to ask your friends to help you fit in more. And don't feel bad, since having nice clothes and a big house doesn't equal happiness

MOD MOD MOD I have a math exam and i dont remember how to do a lot of it! what should i do? my mom doesnt know how to do it either!




Hey girl,

Do you have anyone in the class you can ask for help? Gather some specific questions together, then give them a call. Or you can Google specific concepts to see if you can teach yourself. There's not a lot you can do the night before other than read your notes and textbook to clarify these things, but in the future try to take care of this ahead of time - that way, you can ask your teacher these questions before the day of the test!

In class one teacher started talking about my love life in the middle of class. The whole class was laughing at me and I if I said anything that teacher would get really mad. What should I do?
