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.

Please read although his is unrelated to the article:
I feel like i kind of don't even love my family anymore. I'm just kind of confused, because I can't genuinely say I like spending time with them, I'd much rather be on my computer talking to my friends. My parents are great, they let me do things and don't get down on me about school, and want me to be happy... And today my mom thought enough was enough with us treating her badly (to her, that is being lazy and leaving work to her, saying stuff is stupid or not accepting compliments), so she left the house temporarily and called later asking if we could be better. I don't even know if I can, I don't understand why I don't feel like talking to my parents, or don't feel happy when my mom compliments me on something I just feel ridiculed. Sorry this was long, but please help me, like what can I do to seem less a bad daughter, to be more regular to them!
Thank you if you reply. (:



Hey girl,

I think this is just a phase.  Is there anything that has happened that made you question if you really care about your family?  Anything change that upset you?  It doesn't sound like what your mom said is unwarranted.  Considering you're thinking strangely, you're likely acting strangely as well.  My best advice is to find the source of your feelings and deal with it from there.

I really wanna have a sleepover with one of my friends! But im worried my mom will say no! I've asked her to go to sleepovers multiple times but all she's said is no! Yesterday was my b-day and i wanna go to a sleepover! How do i get her to say YES? Frown



I'm sure since it's a birthday celebration that she'll let you.  It may be because she wants to meet the girl, or feels uncomfortable about you being at other people's homes.  Let her know that you were really hoping to for a birthdat present. Jordan S.

SUPERRRRRRR URGENT!!!!!! MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MODMODMODMOD!
Okay theres a guy i like,K. So I don't talk to him, and I was thinking about writing him a note saying I liked him and give him it the last day of school.Some of my freinds think it's a good day, soe think it's terrible, some say maybe, soe said get to knwo him first but there is only 3.5 days left! My freind said I should go to my freind T in that class and be like I Need UR # and then go to K and be like I Neeed Urs 2.So what should I do? Write the note, do the phone number thing, or don't do anytihng? Please reply ASAP! THanks sooooooooooooooo much MOD! <3



Hey babe,

The note isn't personal enough and it doesn't give him enough of a chance to react to it.  I would ask for his number casually, so you can talk throughout the summer and flirt and maybe hang out, etc.
