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.

There is no better time to try and change our image than when the new year starts, and thats now! We all can help our image and be nicer, more responsible or whatever else we want to be better at. I talked with my my mom and she asked what some of my goals were for the new year and I told her I was going to try and be more responsible and be a better daughter. She liked that.

I told my bf I wanted our relationship to grow but I have my concerns since we just seem to be at different levels at times. Its a maturity thing and it just seems like he isnt ready for certain things.

MOD MOD MOD I have many best friends. Everytime I try to hang out with 2 or more of them at once I feel like the 3rd or 4th wheel. It really sucks. Then when it is just me and them they never seem to do anything with me so i barley even get to hang out with them. Please help I don't want to live live lonely with no friends to help me out in life.

Hey girl,

If you have a lot of pals, you shouldn't feel like you're going to be lonely! It can be awkward with too many people if they don't know each other, but you can try to organize some icebreakers so they get to know each other and you can all get along! Why not do something like an outdoor activity or trivia game so you can all get to know each other? And if it's awkward when it's just the two of you, why not do something like go to the movies, or play a sport? If you have a movie or something else to talk about, conversations should flow naturally. And you're young, so you have plenty more friends to make as you grow.

MoD MoD MoD!
I really like this guy named Loki and I really want to know if he likes me back. We're good friends though. He kind of teases me a lot, texts me occasionally, and is really sweet to me instead of teasing me at times. soooooooo?? And thanks I appreciate all of your help. Smile)




Hey girlie,

The teasing/compliment mix, him reaching out and enjoying a convo with you, etc. - these are good signs! Keep talking to him and try flirting/teasing him back. Give little hints that you like him so he feels comfy giving you the same hints. You'll get a better idea of his feelings when you actually get to know him even better! Smile
