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.

Dear Mod, I figured out that my best friend has a huge crush on my older brother but she doesn't know i know. Anyway I'm sort of awestricken and don't know how to react because i thought i would never see the day when she would have a crush on him. I'm just confused and need maybe a little of guidance. What do I do?




Hey girlie,

You're freaking out about this because the info feels so new. You just need some time to process it! It's really not a big deal, if you think about it. So, your bestie likes your bro. Does your bro like her back? Is the age difference huge? Is there really a chance they could date? And if they did date, would it really be such a bad thing? Probably not! Smile It's just strange to have our family world and our friend world collide like this... but it's not a BAD thing! Take a deep breath and remind yourself to take things one day at a time. If something new happens (like they start talking, or they start dating), deal with it as it comes. But there's no reason to hate your friend or ask her to stop crushing - if they make each other happy and you care about each of them (and want to see them happy), then it could actually be a really good thing. Plus you can always take credit for bringing them together ;)

okay so where I live it's really cold right now, I want to go on vacation we can and we've talked about it but my dad said now we have to go in August for his birthday. I'm really bummed out how can I convince him I've tried everything!!!

 

 I think it sounds like your dad has his mind made up already. I think this is just a issue you should leave alone.
