What to do when you hate a gift

 

Check these out, too...

  • Can you stay friends after just one kiss?
  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
So many people buy me things I hate, but I’m way too scared to admit it. If it’s my friends, they won’t talk to me. If it’s my grandmom, it’ll make her feel bad.

 

Dear Too Scared to Admit It,

You’re not too scared—you’re too polite. After all, you know how you would feel if you gave someone a gift and she said, “Yuck,” instead of, “Thanks.” If you receive a gift from a particular store, it may be possible to return or exchange it. But usually you are stuck with whatever someone is kind enough to offer—and yes, you should even send a sincere-sounding thank-you note.

 

I do have one suggestion, though. This holiday season, give your parents some ideas to pass along to relatives. And take any gifts you don’t want to a church, synagogue or homeless shelter where they can be given to kids in need.

Hey gogreengal, yep it's crazy. You just have to ignore any negativity people throw your way.. Like Lady Gaga says " I'm beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes" so remember that. And your weight has nothing to do with you not getting your period. Hope this helps! Xoxo





Dear Carol,
I'm starting to get really annoyed with the media. They have banned ads because the model had prominent bones. I am naturally this way and it hurts to think that people view other people this way. I also get a lot of snide comments about eating disorders. I am 5'4" and weigh 93 lbs. Also, will I never get my period if I am skinny? I'm 13, btw. thanks. Lynae P.

MOD I am a few days later than usual for my period, and it has been regular for about 6 months or more. I am not sexually active, I am a virgin, so I am not pregnant, and I recently went to the doctor and they said things were fine down there, so what's up? I know it sounds weird but I'm a little worried




Hey girlie,

A few days late is NO biggie! If you're not sexually active, it's not like pregnancy could be the cause of the delay. It's actually totally normal for periods to be late, even after months of it being regular. All kinds of stuff can affect it, like stress, changes in diet or sleeping patterns, etc. Don't worry about it - try to relax and go on with your life like normal. It'll come! <33
