ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Change your image right now

 
I’ve created an image for myself that I don’t like. I wear gobs of makeup. I smoked so a guy would like me. I stole my best friend’s boyfriend, and now I like her new boyfriend. I’ve tried to change, but it’s hard.

 

Dear Bad Girl,

You feel lousy, right? But behind that makeup and smoke is a good person. Come on out! Change is hard—for you to do and others to recognize. But since you no longer want to play rough-and-tough boyfriend stealer, find healthy ways to feel confident. What are you good at? Soccer? Singing? Science? Spanish? Build on those strengths.

 

As for changing your rep, lose the makeup and put a positive attitude on your face—even if it feels kind of forced at first. Ask guys and girls friendly questions such as, “What did you do during vacation?” It may take a while to replace the old image, but congratulate yourself on having the guts to change.

 

Oh, and hands off the cigarettes and friends’ boyfriends! Your health and friendships are far more important than getting a guy.

I'm in tears right this second because of something that just happend. My dad said we were going to Mass today when school started, so I couldn't be at school till 9:00, when gym was over. But because my schedule's all jacked up because of having school off Monday, I have no idea if I have gym or music or art. So I asked my dad if we could go to the non mass, so I'd just miss a part of lunch. But he said we couldn't. Then my mom came in because I was upset, and said she'd understand if I was missing music. That's when I said I had no idea what I was having. She got SUPER angry for some reason, and yelled at me. Then she said I needed to change my personality really soon. I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm starting to want to go to boarding school, so I don't have to be at home. This happens often now, and I hate it. Please help!




If your mother made a comment about your personality I think it was not what you said but how you said it that angered her. Make sure you actually stop and listen to the tone of your voice when you are speaking to people. It may seem like a normal tone when you speak it but it could come out completely different and other people might interpret you as having an attitude. Also I don't think it is a big deal that you are confused about your schedule. I think you over reacted about that.

Yesterday i got my hair all done up for a dance that was last night and along with the hair-do, i got six raspberry purple streaks put in. I really like them but i keep having doubts about if my friends will like them. My friends at the dance loved them last night, but i am worried about what my other friends will think and it is driving me crazy. Is there any way i can keep myself from doubting?
thx




Hey girlie,

Just be confident! You got the streaks because you thought it would look awesome...And I'll bet it does! It might not be their style to get pink/purple highlights, but it's your style and you should be proud of it. Walk with your shoulders back and your head high. Style your hair in fun ways to show them off (ponytail, braid, wear it long, etc.). If anyone seems to have a problem with it, shrug and remind yourself you didn't dye their hair - it's your own hair and you can do what you want. Plus, they'll wash/grow out! It's nothing to panic about. And having streaks in your hair doesn't make you a bad person ;) Personally, I think it's cool! <3

Hey Magzped10, I think you should call her sometime tomorrow and ask what're up. She probably was trying to protect your feelings, but she went about it the wrong way. Just talk it out. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hey there! My BFF just got asked out by my crush! I am so hurt because she knew I liked him, and now they are going out. I want to say something to her, but she's really happy and I don't want to crush her. I had to find out from my crush, and I was hurt that she didn't tell me. I know she was prob trying to protect my feelings, but she should of told me personally. I'm not making a scene about it, but I am really hurt because she KNEW I REALLY liked him. What should I do? HELP!!Frown
