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.

my bff keeps saying, "You're not bulimic, you're too fat!" it makes me really sad because I AM and it doesn't help my recovery by her calling me fat. I can barely deal with her anymore!




Hey girl,

Whoa, this is your BFF saying these things?! Holy moly. The next time she says something like this, get serious and tell her once and for all - "Can you knock it off? I'm dealing with this and I wish my best friend would support me, not make it worse. It hurts when you say those things." Be firm and honest. And after that, if she doesn't stop with the teasing, you need to distance yourself from her. It's sad because she's been your friend for a while, but you can't be around that negativity while you're trying to recover. You need people who love you and support you, not people who are trying to bring you down. Your health is the most important thing here, so do whatever it takes to surround yourself with love! <3

Me and my big bro are almost 10 years apart. When I was younger it seemed like a big deal but now I talk to him all the time and he's one person I know I can trust to always be there. And even though our lives may be at different stages we can talk to each other about problems and share a good laugh. -Alleigh

Okay, so my dad calls me and i answer the phone and he says, that my cousin who is turning 3 has a b-day party tomorrow so i said okay, after that he said that i have to go outside with some of my girl scout troop and sell cookies ( i already sold cookies for 5 hours total last time) and i have to do it since he already signed me up...but its the 1st day of spring break (i want to have FUN) , i dont want to sell anything i want to relax???? HELP??

 

Hey! since you're signed up there's really no way to get out of it. Just try to tough it out and have fun on the job, that way it'll fly by and you can get to the relaxation Smile

Okay, this is really weird. In the morning, my nipples are the same color as my skin, but at night, they are red/pink. Is that normal?

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!
