ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Starting a new school after a summer move

 
 

 

Dear Nervous,

That’s understandable. But you’ve made friends before and you’ll do it again. Say “hi,” smile, remember name, don’t talk too much about how great your old friends are and sign up for after-school activities—theater, newspaper, sports. Working with others on projects or in teams makes for easier bud-bonding opportunities. And in your attempt to be social, don’t let your schoolwork slip. Talk to teachers if you feel lost or if you’re at a different level than the rest of your class.

I'm like kinda private-schooled-more homeschooled. It's at a house with three ppl including me. But in 8th grade I have to go to public school. How will I be accepted?

Hey girlie,

It's totally normal to be nervous, but I'm sure you'll love your new school! Check out these posts for tips on making the switch Smile

OK so I started cooking this year and I've had a lot of bad dishes. I'm okay with that but my problem is my parents. Every time I make a bad dish, they tell me I should find another "fad." I try to tell them this isn't just a fad, that I want to try to be a good cook, but they won't listen. They even told me that I shouldn't be influenced by my best friend (who also loves cooking). How do I tell them I'm serious about cooking?




Hey girlie,

I think you'll prove that you're serious about cooking after you stick with it, keep trying, and show them that you aren't going to get discouraged. Basically, they need to see that you're not going quit after a little while. If their comments are bringing you down, try cooking smaller meals for yourself and experiment until you get it right. That way, you can debut a great dish when you make it for them and show them how much you've learned Smile

MOD MOD MOD okay so theres this new girl from new york who just came to my school and before ANYONE acctually saw her....all the guys were saying how hot she was and how they were all gonna ask her out.Once she got there, her locker was right beside my bffs and the second she got there...all of our grade formed a MOB around her!!! me and my bffs think shes rly nice and want to be friends with her but we can never get to her because all of tthe guys/ popular girls are ALWAYS in a mob around her!!!what should we do?




That's nice of you to wanna be her friend, chica. Just take the first chance ya get to introduce yourself and invite her to hang out sometime. Maybe you'll run into her in the bathroom or in the hall. And if you don't, at least you have your friends, and hopefully she'll find some good ones of her own.
