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.”

ModModMod So I was reading the artice about addiction in the most recent issue. It was talking about how you can be addicted to things other than alcohol or drugs. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about volleyball. I am a starter and I LOVE to play. If I could play 7 days a week, I would. I am constantly thinking about how to improve my game and how to make my coach happy with me. Recently, my coach moved me to a different position because she didn't think my hitting was consistent and I started crying because I had tried so hard to impress her with my hits. When I'm not on the court, I am always thinking of new workouts to try to tone my core, arms, and legs. Plus, we have practice everyday. If I make a mistake, I loose sleep over it. Last week, we skipped a day of practice and I was nervous and restless. Also, I have a shoulder injury but I don't tell my coach when it hurts because I don't want to get benched. Am I addicetd to playing volleyball? Sorry this is so long!!!

 

Hey chica, I don't think your addicted, I just think you have a strong passion. It's people like you who excel at sports because you're dedicated to making your life better. Just be sure there's more to your life than just volleyball. Try to branch out and think about your other interests. What other hobbies do you have? So no worries chicky, you're fine. Hope this helps you!!! Smile Smile

MOD MOD MOD I NEED YOUR HELP
OK so my bff and her boyfriend broke up the next week or so he asked me on a date i said yes and we've been dating since so my bff has been spreading rumors that i lost my virginity to him now I'm called a ho please help it's getting worse and worse


 


Hey chica! First off, this girl does NOT sound like a BFF, or a friend at all for that matter. I'd confront her about it and ask her flat out why she would do that to you. It sounds to me like she's angry at you for dating her ex. Still, that doesn't make it ok to start rumors about you. Make sure to surround yourself with other friends to lean on for support until things die down...

modmomdomodmodmodmodmodmod I kinda got a prob. So I am in middle school and I was walking up the stairs with a friend, and this hot guy came up to me with one of the most popular guys in my grade and asked ME out. I kinda freaked out, so I played hard to get and said, 'You, no thanks!' After that was over I keep replaying it in my head.I began thinking it was my friend who they were talking to. this happened about 3 days ago, and if I tell any of my friends, they think I was lying, cuz boys don't usually go for me... HELP!

 

Hey missy, don't fret you can still fix this. If the guy was looking directly at you, he was probably talking to you. And you said boys don't usually go for you, well maybe this guy saw something in you! The next time you see him, you could walk up to him and say something like "I didn't mean what I said the other day when you asked me out. I think you're really cool and cute and would love to go out with you." He'll still probably wanna go out with you. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile Smile
