Middle school is turning me into a stress mess!

Check these out, too...

I started junior high this year, and I find it very overwhelming. I don’t have time for all the things I love—boys, friends, shopping, etc. What can I do to get my life back and relax?

Dear Stress Mess,

You’re not alone, and I’m sorry you’re feeling stressed. Lots of hardworking people get overwhelmed because there isn’t enough time to do everything every day. But in the big scheme of things, there is enough time to do what matters. It’s just that you may have to study during the week, and flirt, chat and shop on weekends.

This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some daily rest and relaxation. You can! Give yourself daily kickback time—whether that means taking a bath, e-mailing friends, reading a novel, doing yoga, listening to music, yakking on the phone or walking your dog.

I'm going to college next year and none of my friends are going! I'm really worried because I've never really made friends, I've had the same best friends since I was 3! And I have a few other friends through my original friends!

I don't know where to start, loads of people at school think I'm weird and I have NO idea why! I thought I acted pretty much the same as everyone else!! :/ Thanks Mod. xxx

Hey girl,

Going to college is tough for everyone - it takes a lot of adjusting and a lot of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. But college is ALL what you make of it! You'll have a good time if you open your door, introduce yourself to people, go to campus events (even if you go alone), join clubs, and talk to people in class. You have to be overly out-going during those first couple weeks/months.... everyone else will be too! Really try to push yourself and meet as many people as possible. Don't worry about feeling homesick/feeling like you don't fit in. Everyone feels like that at first, but you WILL find your group <3

MOD MOD MOD! 2 things, i'm worried i act like aboy to much. I mean with my friends i act girly but when i'm with boys since i have to older brothers i join in with their thats what she said jokes and other stuff am i acting weird? And i'm going to middle school next year and i just saw a vid on fb from one of my friends who is in middle school and the i know thta when i go there everyone will think im weird! I just have a feeling? What should i do? Thank you!!

Hey girl, you're never acting weird if you're acting like yourself. Just be true to you. That's something that will help seperate you from all the other girls. You can't help but to be yourself. And if you keep telling yourself and believing that everyone will think you're wierd, people will, but if you think positive you can avoid that. Hope this helop!!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!! Me and my boyfriend broke up a week ago, because we live in different towns and he "didn't feel it anymore." I still REALLY like him and i've been soo depressed and i don't know what to do to forget about him. We dated for 3 1/2 months and it's soooo hard to forget about all the memories we had together. I miss him alot. What can I do to forget him?

Hey chica, aww I'm sorry, but remember everything happens for a reason. Right now it may be best to just get your feelings out. We overcome things when we face them and deal with them. It won't do you any good to keep all your feelings bottled up, so grab a diary or journal and write down your thoughts. Even call up one of your besties and vent. Have a girls night out, where your friends where you guys can forget all about boys. Rent some chick flicks, get blankets, and have snacks and drinks, and just have fun. It may also be good for you to busy your time, so you won't be stuck just thinking about him. So take up a new hobby. You could try sewing, biking, anything. Once you start focusing your time and energy on something else, you won't have any left over to waste on him. Hope this helps you feel better!!! And remember it's his lost!
