ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

I'm too old to sleep with a stuffed animal!

 

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
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
I sleep with a stuffed animal. How can I break apart from my comfort-giver?

 

Dear Age 13,

You’re not the only 13-year-old who still cuddles up with a stuffed bear. Sleeping with an animal for comfort is not like sucking your thumb or dragging a blankie around. Give yourself a break! Soon enough, you’ll probably change your ways without even trying. If you still want to break the habit, put your animal on a shelf or at the end of your bed instead of right next to you. Grab a pillow if you need something to hold.

My friends church's youth group is going up to the mountains for a weekend winter camp - Friday to Sunday only 2 nights, 1 day - the only thing is, is that I get homesick really easy. A bunch of my frineds are going, and I know it will be fun, but I tend to think of the worst
(i.e. what if theres an earthquake, what if my family gets in a car crash...) I know these things are most likely not gonna happen but there is always a possibility( Last time I went away with Girl Scouts for 1 night I can home to find my sister with 2 broken arms, she fell off a swing knocked herself out and nearly broke her neck but luckiy broke the fall with her arms.... So that kinda haunts me.) When I was younger I was perfectly fine with sleep overs but within the last couple of years I havent had to many because Im nervous that I will freak out, but when I do have them I have a blast..... Any advice on what to do? Sorry this is long...........




The only way you are going to have any fun in life is if you stop stressing about things that are out of your own control. Just keep telling youself that everything will be fine on the trip. Once you go on the trip and realize everything was fine, something in your brain should click, letting you know that being away from home is completely OK. Like everything, practice makes perfect. The more you are away from home, the more comfirtable you will become with it.

My life has really suucked lately. I was btrayed by a best friend and she started telling all my other friends lies about me. It worked somehow for me to becaome a loner. All except my one best friend who was betrayed by her beforeexcept I've never done anything to her. So I started to hang out with her more and more. I got the lead in my play and one of my other best friend who auditioned and got a chorus part was ticked and started haraasing us over text and facebook message. My Best friend became depressed over this and the betrayal of Shelby(My ex-bestie). Her mm took her out of school and she takes online classes now. So Im kind of a loner now. I'm not socially awkward and I like to talk to people who want to hear me. I've been hanging out with aquatainces and have trouble talking heart to heart with them because they dont know me as well. I dont think anyone else will. How can I make my self more assure and confident?

 

Hey girl, I'm so sorry! But don't you worry, you will get through it. Best thing to do is get involved with different clubs or even a sport. That way you're surrounded by new people and can make new friends. Maybe even join an organization outside of school? -- Make sure you realized that none of this is your fault. There are always people who will enter other's lives to just be mean. But YOU are so much better than them. You have a great life a head of you. Make sure you carry those positive thoughts with you no matter what happens!
