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.

Hey dancethenightaway, I would pack shorts, tennis shoes, maybe a pair of sandals, and comfy tee shirts. Hope this helps! Have fun! Xoxo

Hi. So, I'm going to a summer camp in about 2 weeks. The camp is only 4 days and 3 nights, and I'm wondering what I should bring to wear? Any suggestions? I know I'll have to bring toiletries, a hairbrush, a pillow, a blanket, probably sunscreen, and maybe sunglasses.
Thanks, Callie Lynae P.

Hey AquaMasquerade, no not at all. All they were doing was playing around. I'm sure he has other female friends and they are just that, friends. And same with you. Just because you're cool with a guy doesn't mean you want to date him. No worries girly! Xoxo



MOD MOD MOD! My boyfriend is amazing. He definitely shows that he loves me and we have the greatest times. But we are on seperate teams in school for seventh grade. His team went on a camping trip and while there, he had all this fun with my friend. They talked the whole time and even played chicken ( she was sitting on top of his shoulders) plus, him and another boy had a "firecracker" game contest and the loser had to kiss her. Should i be worried? Thanks. Lynae P.

My mom and older sis are in Europe, it's so unfair because I am stuck at home with my dad and lil sis. I can't text/call them because of the cost of phoning from diff countries, only email and facebook and they don't have internet. My lil sis left to a two day sleepover yesterday and I am super bored this weekend. All my friends know my mom is gone but they haven't texted or called. What should I do? I'm bored out of my mind! I just can't wait until this weekend is over! What should I do?

Hey girl,

Why not do something fun with your dad if you two are the only ones home? I'm sure he'd appreciate getting to spend some time with you, so go out to lunch or bowling or to the movies, or just hang out with him and play a game at home! The weekend will be over before you know it Smile

I switched schools for a year and am now going back to my old school this fall (not by choice). I don't have a lot of self confidence but the one thing that I can be confident about is that I'm really smart, I have a word or quote for everything, understand complex equations and have never gotten below an A on a history test. That sounds great, right? Yeah, not so much. I get taken advantege of A LOT which is why I left. People use me and pretend to be my friend so they can partner up with me and get an A. Now normally that hurts everyone but I have poor social skills so I always feel like they are really my friend. What can I do to get people to stop taking advantage of me?

Hey girl,

If someone acts like your friend, it's okay to trust them, but if it seems like they want to steal your work, tell them they'll learn more if they do it themselves. If they don't take the hint, you could initiate a friendship with someone else by introducing yourself -- if you approach them, they will be less likely to want to steal your ideas!
