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.

i'm having kind of a problem with my music teacher. i don't take private lessons (by my own choice) and i go to camp every summer with a partial scholarship because it's always nice not to pay an extra hundred dollars or whatever. my music teacher now has been telling me all year that i should take private lessons and how he tells all the private teachers about me. he assumes my family doesn't have enough money to pay for lessons or summer camps and he said that to my face. i was too shocked he said that to correct him (it's not true, we're doing fine financially) but now i want to. it feels like he thinks of me differently now and analyzing me all the time and it's awkward. i don't know if i should tell him the truth or not. what should i do?




Hey! you should absolutely stand up to him if he made you uncomfortable. Just tell him that you're fine financially and that it hurt your feelings that he assumed you weren't. it'll be hard but you'll be glad you spoke your mind. good luck!

i love myself!! <3 but somedays i worry. i have heaps of friends but i don't really know if they r my friend, sometimes they talk behind my back and they leave me out. and my brother isn't making it any better he tells his friends storys about me, bad ones! i have red hair and bigger ears then most people, and they r always yelling at me about it, no i really want a boyfriend but it is hard when no boys like u!! wat do i do! i can't take this anymore!!
thanks

 

Hey girl!

I am glad that you love yourself. I would confront your friends who talk behind your back and tell them you don't appreciate it. I would isolate yourself from those people as well and hang out with other friends...surround yourself by people who make you happy! Talk to your brother and tell him that you don't like what he is telling his friends. If he doesn't stop, let your mom know. As for wanting a boyfriend, don't fret. Be yourself, have fun and talk to boys you are friends with. The right guy will come along when you least expect it Smile

MOD!!!!!!!!!
I'm plan to post the next fanfic chapter of a story online. I made a promise to someone that I would add this one part in it and asked the person if it was okay, since it was in one of their stories. The person didn't respond for a whole week and it is really vexing. I took the part out because it didn't really make sense at that time I piut in the story. I don't want to make her angry and let her down. Plus, she is super supportive. I don't want to anger my readers by not posting the chapter. But, I have no idea what to do! HELP!!




Hey girl, I'd just post the chapter without the other person's part. Remember, using other people's words and ideas is plagiarism. Your readers deserve better.

I don't fit in too. To be honest, I do think people laugh behind my back andin my face. I know this sounds cliche, but just be yourself, otherwise it'll blow up in your face. But don't something stupid like pretending to be a prep or something. I'm weird, random, and freak. I'm proud to be what I am!
