ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Zip those lips!

 
I’m 16 and a serious over-talker, especially when I’m excited or nervous. People get very irritated with me, and I don’t know how to stop. Please help me break this habit.

 

Dear Gabby,

Don’t just think, I have to stop talking; think, I have to start listening. People like others to ask what’s going on in their lives. After someone’s game, test or audition, ask, “How did it go?” Also, remember that, except your grandma, most people aren’t dying to know every little detail. If someone asks where you’re going for the holidays, try, “I’m going skiing. How about you?” instead of, “First, we’re flying to Salt Lake City, then hitting Alta, then Park City, then The Canyons, then Snowbird…” Must all you conversations always be exactly 50-50? No. Just be sure the person across from you gets a chance to do something besides nod.

Hey jellybean32 get your parents to hide snacks from you so you can't eat them anymore. Out of sight out of mind, so eventually you're craving will die down. Instead of munching on unhealthy stuff go for fruits and veggies and trail mix and granola bars. Hope this helps! Xoxo



Every day at about 3:45 I get a craving to eat, this is right after school so I can have a snack. It doesn't matter what it is I just want to eat. I am trying to lose weight and this is not helping!! How do I stop this craving? Lynae P.

Hey ljbdaisy, you want to show your mother you are mature enough to have a Facebook, so don't nag her about it. Give her a few more days to think it over and if she doesn't get back to you then talk to her about it again. Have a list of reasons why you want one and a list of how responsible and safe you'll be when you get it. Hopefully she will let you get one girl! Xoxo

My mom won't let me get a Facebook. I am 13 years old and most of my guy friends and girl friends have them. I told her that she could even be friends with me, but she keeps just saying, "We'll have to see." How can I get her to agree to get me a Facebook? Lynae P.

ok so I'm in 8th grade and in 8th grade we always are having career things for high school and college. My hobbie is singing and learning the guitar. And that's all I want to do in life. Nothing else interests me. Problem is, it's not a promising career and there's not a good chance that I will make this my future career. Plz plz plz plz plz plz help!!!! I really need to know what to do!!!!!!!!!!




Hey girlie,

You don't need to figure things out right away! I have friends who got to college and took a couple years to figure things out. It's great if you/your friends have a clear idea of what career you want, like "I'm going to be a doctor!" or "I'm going to write for a magazine!" But the truth is, most people have NO clue what they want to do. It's amazing to have hobbies - keep up the guitar, keep up singing, and work hard to get better at them both! Who knows, you could find a way to turn those into a career if you realize they are your true and only passions. (You could perform, be a teacher, compose for movies/TV, etc.) But you have soooo many years ahead of you and lots of experiences in high school that will help you figure things out. Don't pressure yourself to plan your whole life just yet! <3 Trust me, you're not alone in being unsure - and you have plenty of time to grow, change, and learn about yourself Smile
