Strangers make fun of my brother


Check these out, too...

  • 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?
  • Get those bullies out of your head: Tune out the torturers
  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it

I have a brother who isn’t exactly mentally retarded, but he’s a slow learner. He has great friends but, when we’re out, people make fun of him. Whenever he hears names being yelled at him, he is deeply hurt. What should I do?

 

Dear Distressed Sis,

You are a wonderful sister and good person. Next time people are mean, say to your brother, “What fools! Don’t pay attention to them,” or, “They don’t know that you’re worth 100 of them.” The support and love of a sister can outweigh the criticism and jibes of strangers. And I bet you have already educated more people than you realize.

ok so out of now where my hair is beggning to get really oily and like a have like dandruff like a lot mainly in like my bangs area what should i do its really nasty and i dont know what to do... for my oily scalp i heard it is good if you put baking soda on a brush and brush it thorugh your hair but it like just made my flakes worst... pleasee help thankss




Hey girly! Try switching up your shampoos to fix the oil problem. Also, alternating between 2-3 different shampoos throughout the week will chance up your normal cycle. Baby Shampoo is great for oily hair becasue it keeps your hair from producing so much oils and dandruff shampoos will fix the flakey problem.
