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.

what i would do was just talk about subject

Okay, so what is depression? I think I might have depression because sometimes after my siblings and parents yell at me, I start crying and feel like they don't love me. Sometimes I also feel worthless and think that dying and going to heaven would be better, but this has gotten better and I barley think that now. Also, is it bad to even think that it would be better if you were dead? I used to think that if I die then I would be better off and that I don't belong in this world. PLEASE tell me if this is bad and if it is, what to do about it. I live in a small town and am in 6th grade so we don't get to do sports, but next year I plan to get involved a lot in sports and clubs. Will this help with the thoughts that my family doesn't love me or not? Am I just going through something and it will pass?

Me too I talk a lot. But recently i sot of gossiped to the rumor queen at school on accident. Then her posy is mean to me always told the girl who was in the topic she was a bad word after they texted her about it. And after this girl called her a hobo. Is this my fault. I just told her what I saw, is this wrong?

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

Mod Mod Mod! So I had this thing going on with a close friend of my brother. I wouldn't really call it dating all we did was kiss and talk on the phone, we never really had a real date. So the other day he and brother came back and were staying at my house. (There in college and I'm 17) And they where going to this thing with other college students and older kids. And I asked if I could go along and he replyed, "No, your just a kid." And I tryed to act like it didn't bother my and I just went back to my room. So when they came home really late that night my brother went right to bed but me and my brothers best friend went and sat on the deck. And I asked him why he had to be so rude to me before and he just shrugged and said because it as true. So I was like,"Whatever we had, it over," and then I went back inside to bed. They left before I go up the next day. Well anyways there coming back next weekend. What should I do??? How should I act???

 

 

Hey chica! As tough as it is, I'd forget this guy. At least for now, anyway. First of all, if he's over 18, it's illegal for him to have anything going on with you. That could be a big concern of his. Maybe someone said something about that to him. And maybe, when you get out of high school, or turn 18, then you can try talking to him and see if anything has changed. For now though, I'd treat him as a friend and nothing more. When he's around, just do your thing and don't give him any special attention. If you let it be awkward, then that's no good. Just treat him like any other one of your bro's friends.

Haha, my friend is always saying I talk way too much. And then I accidentally said "Really? No I don't! Do I? Does anyone else think so? Is that a good thing or a bad thing! I don't try to! Do I talk more than the average person..." and then she said "Exactly..." under her breath. LOL. Don't take offence from it. Honestly, would you rather be really quiet, or really talkative. That second one...
