ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Big brother blues

 
My brother is seven years older than me, and he doesn’t know I exist. I don’t expect to be best friends, but I want him to see I’m not just a little kid. What should I do?

 

Dear Big Brother Blues,

Talk to your brother. If you have a problem, ask for his opinion. He may be flattered by how much you value his input, and it will help him see you are growing up. Suggest that you walk to the dog or watch a DVD together. And don’t worry! As you get older, the age gap really will seem smaller and smaller.

Mod, I'm scared of my brother. He always hurts my physically and emotionally. I'm very insecure because he puts me down every day. He calls me gross and stupid and after a while it can do a lot to my self esteem. He also will hurt me for other reasons. One time I was on the computer but he wanted it so he threw me off. I was scared so I ran away and started crying and he kept taunting me by telling me to stop spazzing out, that I have anger management issues,asking me if I'm done yet. One time I acctually ran away and had to go for a walk around the neighbourhood to calm myself. When I came back he kept taunting me and hours later continues! I hate felling scared. I'm crying right now acctually.Can you please find some way to help me? Btw, he's 2 years older than me and a lot taller.

 

 

Hey girly, this is NOT ok. You need to tell someone about this. Have you talked to your rents? If not them, maybe a grandparent/aunt/uncle or even a teacher that you trust when school starts back up. It's not right for him to treat you this way, and please, whatever you do, do not believe the mean things he says to you!

I don't understand sexual harassment. It's not funny! Last week at school some boys called me big tits. It made me feel insecure and sad. Why do boys say this stuff?

so I just recently talked to my mom because she has a problem...she asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I answered back saying "an actress". she said so what is the point about being in a sorority that helps you with your future career?she doesn't like the fact that I want to be an actress when I grow up...she said I should get a job where they really pay me...being an actress gets you paid!...what is the point of parents if they are not supportive about your future goals???I need help

 

Hey chica!

A lot of times parents have different opinions about what field their kids should go in for some reason or the other. Acting is very competitive because so many people want to do it and there are only so many movies or plays that make enough money. That could be one reason she'd rather you go for something else. While it's good to focus on what you eventually want to do everyday, aim high and believe in yourself, there is an option of pursuing another career along with performing arts (such as PR, teaching, business and so on), so you could do two jobs until you make it big in acting.

MOD MOD MOD!!
i feel like i am suffering from severe depression. I don't do drugs and would never dream of it. i went through severe anorexia and am in fear of hurting ,myself. HELP!!




Hey girl,

If you feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, depressed, or any other emotion that is getting out of control... TELL SOMEONE. Do not hold it inside, because it will only hurt even more and make it harder for you to face every day. But if you open up and talk to someone about this, it WILL get better! Talk to a parent, a counselor, a doctor, or call a hotline: check out this website for help in all forms. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE promise you'll talk to someone! <3 It's nothing to be embarrassed about and you don't have to do this alone!
