I got caught ditching practice!

 

Check these out, too...

  • 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?
  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
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.

Mod!
I will be turning 14 in less than a week and i really want to get my ears pierced. But the thing is is that im realllyyyyy scared. I already talked to my bestie about coming with me cause she needs her ears re-pierced apparently, but i feel like i will be in pain on my b-day...and i really want the perfect day...Will it hurt? What can i do not to be scared? Is there any thing i can do to prepare myself? Should i do it???? btw when i asked my mom if it'll hurt she pretty much told me im a wimp, so ya i do have a low pain tolerance... Thx sooooo much Mod!




Hey girlie,

The worst part of getting your ears pierced is the nervous anticipation beforehand! It will be a little sore afterwards and it might sting when you clean it with rubbing alcohol (you'll have to do that throughout the next few weeks to avoid infections - no biggie), but it really doesn't hurt as bad as you're expecting. Take a couple Tylenol before you get it done to avoid soreness and you'll be just fine! I've had it done before and, in a couple days, you won't even remember any little pain you felt. Remember - the worry beforehand is the worst part! <3 Go for it, girl!

You can feel bad when you skip a wedding. A class or a practice doesn't matter.

MOD MOD MOD:
So there is this boy in my grade I really like. We were just at Outoor Ed and today on the way back,he was trying to take a nap. Me and 3 of my friends were messing with him and he didn't sleep. Eventully I stopped,and tried to get the others to stop,but they didn't. He is upset with me now. What should I do? I was going to send him an apology through a FB message,cause I won't see him till Monday.




You should apologize to him, most notably in person Smile
