ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Middle school is turning me into a stress mess!

 
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.

 

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

Hey, so last year I was really really unpopular and antisocial. It was getting to the point where I would cry just about whenever I was alone, and I did a lot of unhealthy things to myself.
So, I decided it had to stop: over the summer I gave myself a complete personality makeover, and made myself be more outgoing and friendly.
So this year, I made friends with a lot of new people, which was great! I felt like I could rule the world by just being nice! But then all the popular people who used to snub me are sucking up to me and being all nice.
Is it because I'm a better person to be around? Or because I'm popular? I feel like they want to add me to their "Collection" of popular friends! Help!
Thanks! xoxo, Jillian




I think its because youre being so friendly. But be true to yourself Smile being nice is fantastic! but be sure to not become friends with people just because theyre popular. You should like your friends. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Help! One of my sister's friends is cutting herself because the guy of her dreams (her bf) dumped her, and rumor has it, likes someone else. Plus, she also was a better person when she was dating him, so now she swears all the time and stuff. Please, we need advice. Like, how do we help her to understand, that because he dumped her doesn't mean she has to try to kill herself. And I have a friend who is upset because her bf (now ex) almost kissed another girl, and she also found out he only liked her for her violence, and he said he wanted to do drugs, so now she can't get her mind off him, 'cause she really liked him. So, yeah, I need advice.




Hey sweetie, 

I can only imagine how tough things must be for you and your friends. Because we only want the best for you and for them, it's extremely important that you speak to a trusted family member, doctor, guidance, counselor, or teacher. Additionally, the Tough Stuff hub is built around questions that are difficult to answer (http://www.girlslife.com/hub/tough-stuff.aspx) and these are lists of hotlines you can call if you feel like you need to talk someone and there's no one else (http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx). I wish you all the best. xoxox

It is so stressful because we are changing, we are starting do do things on our own. We have all this school work to do, sports activities, dealing with friends and their issues, dealing with GUYS, trying not to let our parents down. So yes, its a stressful time. I try to enjoy everyday and get a good nights sleep for energy and the next day. Eating well helps too.

Im in 8th grade this year. Girl, you might seem stressed now but in a little bit you be good. Taake it from me I was tha girl who did her homework and went to bed. Now, i go out with friends and talk about boys and of course date them all the time.Im your having trouble geting over this big step in life, talk to someone like a parent or gardian. It does help. One lat thing dont sit and do nothing get up and at least call friends or text the guy you really like. He will sometimes give you a good comment or two.

Hi
My school is a really good school but ther is someone there that is really bad behaved in my class and my friend and me found out he selling stuff that is bad.so then we told are other friends then they told the teacher and they r going to do something about and then we told arr parents
But what we didn't tell them is that he smokes weed
Should we tell them I'm really confused right now plus he in 6th grade so isn't it bad for his lungs
Isntbit illegal
Thank u so much




Hey girlie,

It's true that the choices he is making are bad, both for his body and his future. But everyone goes through phases where they try things, experiment, and make mistakes. If a teacher knows, the school will take care of his destructive behavior and help him the best they can. Now, it's not your job to "save" him from smoking weed or tattle on him further - instead, learn from his mistakes and make better choices in your own life! You're smart enough and respect your body enough to realize that his behavior isn't healthy, so vow to yourself that you won't go down that same path <3
