Wanna make your BGF’s day? Cheer up your bestie after she flunked that science test? Destress your sis in seconds? Keep readin’ girlie and you’ll basically be Miss Congeniality in no time!

 

Smile. Walk the halls beaming at your classmates. Seeing your pearly whites on display will make friends, frenemies and acquaintances wanna get their smile on, too.

 

Li’l surprises. You don’t have to pull out all the stops, but offering up a love-ya-mucho card for no particular reason, a fave jumbo candy bar or a cherry bloom is an easy way to get your bud to smile.

 

Be the queen of compliments. Give yourself a new goal: To dole out a legit compliment every single day. Tell your crush his new haircut looks way cute. Or your lab partner that her new sandals are hot hot hot.

 

Spread some love. Tell your bestie (or Mom or annoying bro) that you L-O-V-E them. Just for being them.

 

Greet like ya mean it. Say hello with major enthusiasm. We’re thinking toothy grins and bear hugs. Confetti isn’t out of the question either. (Joking! But still. That’d rock, right?)

 

Get your dance on! Who cares if you aren’t exactly part of America’s Best Dance Crew? Turn up the tunes and turn a normal Tuesday afternoon into a dance party.

 

Call me, maybe. Sure, texting has its place. But there’s really nothing like hearing your bestie’s voice. Dial her digits and catch up.

 

LOL. Laugh like ya mean it! People always feel good when others laugh at their jokes. Make someone’s day and laugh at theirs (or crack one of your own).

 

Share a snack. So that bag of cookies you bought from the vending machine? Split it with a sweetie.

 

Tell em’ they made yours. Nothin really gets people smilin like telling em’ they made your day, so try it out, hunnie.

 

How do you bring a smile to your fave person’s face?
 
 

Love this post? You’ll heart these, too!

Hi it's me again with the question about me talking behind my friends back because she was mean and now she hates me. Well a while ago (right after I asked you my first question) I sent the girl an e-mail apologizing to her. I explained why I was mad, told her I shouldn't have talked about her and it was all my fault, and if we could restart forget everything and be friends again. I texted her telling her to please check her email but I got no respond. I am going to text her one more time assuring her the email was nice. I really want her to forgive me even though I don't like her anymore.

Hey girl,

That's great you apologized to her -- she may not have seen her phone or email yet, or she may just want some time to respond. Give it a few days and then try talking to her in person if you don't hear from her by then.

Okay, so I'm a dancer and gymnast and so is the most popular girl(let's call her Madi) in my school. I just quit my recent dance studio due to the fact that it pushed me to hard - ending with me in the hospital. Madi and I email a lot, we just don't talk to each other. I told her this in a recent email and she invited me to go to her dance studio with her for a lesson or two, to see what level I would be at, if I like this studio ect. Well, I want to go... but I'm REALLY nervous. She's really nice and pretty, it's just that... her BFF will be there, and if anybody hangs out with Madi without her ''permission'' well then she'll get revenge. How would I ask my mom??? Like, I've never talked about Madi, never really mentioned her '' Oh, hey, Mom. My friend, Madi just invited me over to her dance studio for a lesson. Can I go???'' I don't know if I should go!!! Help ASAP!!!

Hey girl,

If you want to go with her, you should definitely ask your mom -- most parents aren't against their children making new friends! If she invited you to go, she wanted you to be there, and her bff will have to accept that. Try being nice to her bff so she won't have a reason to be upset at you, and maybe you three will all be friends!

I really do hate my mom. she always wants to be with my dad and kiss him be just with him. my mom never wants to be with me. i really need help.

Hey girl,

Your existence is because of your parents' great love for each other, but it can be hard when you want to spend time with them, too! Suggest a mother-daughter day out at the mall or at lunch with just the two of you -- she'd probably love the opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with you if she knows you're interested too.
