I got caught ditching practice!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Bullied by teacher? Yep, it totally happens--tell us your story
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I’m on a volleyball team, and my friend and I skipped a practice. The coach found out, so she didn’t let us play the next game. The coach doesn’t care that much anymore, but I still feel terrible. How can I get over my guilt?

 

Dear Ditcher,

You’re no ditcher—you’re a girl who ditched one time and feels terrible about it and won’t make that mistake again. You got caught and learned that you feel better playing by the rules. Now, give yourself permission to move on.

Hey minaxoxo, you just have to work really hard on not flirting. When you talk to himm imagine you're just talking to a regualr guy. Just a friend with whom you've never had a crush on. It may also help if you take a break from talking to him for a while. Still be friendly and say hi but just don't hold a long convo. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I have something a off topic, but I tried asking other places and the comment hasn't posted.
This boy who is my very best best friend and i get this warm fuzzy feeling in my gut. I use to really like him, then, i moved on when he asked out my best friend. (were in 7th grade btw)People make fun of me for hanging out with him and when we talk, my best friend thinks that I'm like flirting, but I'M NOT! we just talk about stuff, but when i do i get a fuzzy warm felling in my gut. I just dont know how to talk to him with out trying to act like I like him (not like anythings going to happen, i dont want to ruin our friendship) and not get in trouble with my bff and have all these stupid kids say That I'm flirting with him and stuff.
sorry soooo long haha, just makes me mad! Lynae P.

At our school we can't ditch- athletics is during school hours, so that would be like ditching class and we get detention for that.

Please visit my Advice Queen page! I really like to give advice to peeps Smile just post a question and i will answer it on your profile as soon as i see it.

My parents work at the same company and my brother used to work there. They know all the same people and I know like 3. It seems like that's all they ever talk about. Today was my birthday and I felt left out of my own birthday dinner! All my parents and brother talked about was work and their friends. I probably could have left and they might have not even noticed. It made my day a bit of a downer (on top of a few other things). What do I do?




Hey girl,

Try to let them into your life a little bit more. Tell stories about your day with lots of detail, make sure they're familiar with the personalities of each of your friends, tell them funny little things that happen even if they don't mean a whole lot, etc. You're just feeling a little left out because your brother knows a lot about their day-to-day activities - and that's ok! But if you share yours with them and ask questions/seem interested in theirs, you'll feel a lot closer to them <3 The next time this happens, just ask what they're talking about and make it clear you want to be let in! Smile
