Summer will be here before ya know it. You’re so ready to be dunzo with school but you still can’t help but feel a lil down. Why? Summer means you won’t get to hang with your buds by your lockers before homeroom, or chat during lunch five days a week. But hey, no worries! With our best tips, you ‘n’ your gals will be tighter than ever this summer break.

 

 

Text it

Exchange numbers along with yearbook messages. Text it up for a quick way to catch up and let your besties know you’re thinking of them 24/7. Bonus! Spot a totally to-die-for pair of sandals at the mall that ya know your pal would go gaga over? Snap a pic and send it to her!

 

Call me maybe

Put your summer downtime to good use by dialin’ your dearies. Call anywhere and everywhere, but make sure you’ve got time to spend gabbing with your girls.

 

Signed, sealed and delivered

Send snail-mailed letters to your chicas and wait to receive excited replies. OK, we know its a little old fashioned, but thats why we like it. Getting a letter addressed specifically to you in the sea of envelopes for your parents will make ya’ feel oh-so important. Bonus! Save all of your correspondence so you can read it again and again as the years go by. Stash ‘em in a scrapbook, along with tons of pics of you guys together.

 

Chain mail

Before the school year ends, exchange email addresses with your besties. Send a bulk email to all of ‘em, and make sure they click “reply all” when responding. This way you’ll all get updates on each others lives. It will feel almost like you gals never left the lunch table!

 

Up all night

Take it upon yourself to organize a sleepover with you and your faves. Go all out—we’re talking ice cream sundaes, boy talk and truth or dare. Bonus! For extra craziness, turn up the tunes.

I feel like my BFF hates me! there is this girtl that really doesnt like me and they are really close too and i feel like she is driving us apart. she never anwsers my texts and is always standing me up. i invited her to sleepover one nite and told me she was in new york but my other friend who slept over told me that she said she was soo bored and had nothing to do at home. and on my birthday she said she was going to s.c. but my friend saw her in her yard with the girl that hates me. I really still want to be her friend but i dont know how to confront her about what happened and about her friend. what should i do?!?!?!?!?




Hey girlie,

Check out these two articles - one about your BFF starting to hang out with someone totally not your type, and one about moving on after your "BFF" downgrades to "just a friend" (or even less than that). It's a rough transition when a friend pulls away, but you're not alone - this happens a lot while we're growing up! Try not to let it get you down. Take this opportunity to meet new people, get involved in something different, and branch out! <3

My friend and I own a website. It's about fashion and stuff. So we post like pictures and stuff but, I feel like I do it for her and she gets all the credit for it. I want to tell her about it but I don't want to hurt her feelings. I just wish there was some way i could tell her without being mean. Please help!
Sincerely,
Katie Jo




Hey girlie,

Who is it that you want to "get the credit" from? Site visitors? Friends? Family? Teachers? Whoever it is, try to come up with a way to make yourself a little more known on the website. Maybe at the end of your blog posts, you could sign your name. Or talk to your friend about creating an "About Us" page, so you can write up a little bio about each person. That could be a great way to make sure visitors know it's a team effort! There's nothing wrong with chatting with your friend and telling her you want it to be a little clearer - you put a lot of energy into the site, so you should feel comfortable with the way it comes across <3

I'm not the best at making friends. It's not like I'm some person who doesn't talk to anyone, I do but I can be very timid and shy, especially at the beginning of the school year. I do have a few friends but most of them are not at all like me. I get bored with them & just stick w/ them cuz Im too afraid of trying to be with the people who I know are exactly who I'd love to be friends with. I'm an extreme introvert & I guess it just takes me awhile to get used to people & by the end of the year I may have found only one person who I can really talk to & have a good time with. This year I really want to be able to chat up those girls & not be afraid to be with new people who I can be myself around & not someone I have to fake bcuz Im too afraid. I need advice so I dont feel so insecure & can become a lot more confident this upcoming school year.

This will sound completely stupid but not stupid at the same time. It has nothing to do with this^^^^^^ though. What do you do when someone tell you they would like to see you die like John tucker? Don't laugh. Okay. It happened over the Internet. It was two people and I know one of them in real life. One girl told me to go die and said that twice an the second time she wanted to try and be funny and told me to die like John Tucker and the other girl who I know in real life said she would love to see that happen. They probably didn't mean it seriously but it doesn't matter it hurt. I told the girl in real life that that is low and sick and wishing death upon someone is wrong. I don't want my parents involved in this because I know I can handle this myself with some guidance from my favorite people; GirlsLife! So I there's anything I could just tell them to make them realize that it wasn't right what they said and that death really isn't a joke.

 

Hey girl! You're right, that joke was super unfunny.  Let the girls know you don't appreciate their humor and that your feelings were really hurt.  Hopefully they'll understand, but if they don't, don't sweat it.  Take a break from chatting with these girls- find some friends who don't joke about people dying.  Good luck! xoxo
