ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Negative Nelly

 
I have a strange problem (or so I think). Sometimes, I have a positive attitude about myself and feel great. Other times, it’s the exact opposite – I feel bad about myself and my attitude is so negative.

 
Dear Positive/Negative
Sounds human to me. Everyone’s confidence goes up and down, and everyone feels insecure at times. To strengthen your self-esteem, do things that make you proud. Deepen friendships, build skills, volunteer, be helpful, play sports, whatever you love to do. In the fall, get the best grades you can. And practice listening to the little voice that says, “Way to go!” rather than the one that says “That was lame.”

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!
the other day, the junior high class went skating as a good grades reward. during the whole thing, i was mostly ignored by everyone. and on the last few songs, a few people were holding friends with their bfs. it made me so jealous, i was depressed and started crying when i got home. its hard not to get jealous, knowing that everytime theres an opportunity to hang out with a bf, i dont have one. how can i not get so jealous that tons of people get a boyfriend?




Hey Doll,

Find the positive sides to not having a BF. You can hang out with your friends as much as you want without having to divide your time between a guy. In fact, you can do anything you want without having to worry about what your guy thinks. It's hard not to be jealous, but the next time you feel it, grab one of your single besties and hang out with her instead. You said only a few people were holding hands, so think about how many people are actually coupled up. You'll probably realize more people are single, so go out and have some fun!

MOD MOD MOD Do you have any tips for being in stressful situations?? I always get really mad and don't know what to do with that anger. So I take it out on someone who doesn't deserve it!! Any advice??




Hey babe! 

Try to avoid doing that - you want your friends and fam to be there for you when you're nervous about something!  Here's an article about handling holiday stress: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/30/holiday-stress-busters.aspx and here's one on school stress: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/04/29/Stress-less-during-the-finals.aspx. Good luck! xoxox

My mom and step dad are getting a divorce so ive been very emotional lately. my friends ask me whats wrong if i cry during the middle of class. for some reason i get really mad at them for asking whats wrong. i feel bad because that makes them upset but i just dont know what else to do. Please help!!!!




Hey girlie,

Try to understand that they only want to help! Obviously they can't understand what you're going through, but they want to - which is really sweet <3 Tell them thank you, but just be honest and let them know you aren't ready to talk about it yet. Instead, use a journal or artistic medium (painting, drawing, blogging, writing fiction, poetry, etc.) to get out your thoughts and feelings. It's only hurting you to keep them inside! So if you don't want to talk about it with your friends, try to use another way to get it out. It helps you organize your feelings, process them, and overcome them in the end <3 And don't forget that you CAN talk to your mom/stepdad too! They know you're going through this and, while they have their own emotions to deal with, they can definitely be there to support you.

MOD MOD MOD I am soo freaked out about getting vaccinations! I dont know why. I know they dont really hurt and they arent that bad its just I have this huge fear of them. Even just thinking about it gives me the scared shivers. I dont know what to do about it, I really would hate to have this fear cloud hanging over my head the rest of my life. Thanks in advance

 


Hey missy, sorry I can't answer your question right now! Check in with some of your other gal pals on here for advice, I'm sure they'll be willing to help you out. Thanx a bunch for understanding!!! Smile Smile

RAWWR!
The title, Negative Nelly, annoys me. My name is Nellie, and I am always called a negative person, which isn't true. I try to stick to my serious yet bubbly & intelligent personality. I love hanging with my girls (and <3 the guys!) so I'm usually not negative.
I love writing & advice giving. Im a deep thinker, great at solving problems. HMU, girlies !
