ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Feel left out of Dad's life

 

 

Lately, I’ve been feeling left out of my dad’s life. Ever since he got a new girlfriend, I feel she and I have to complete for his attention. It’s very hard to talk to him because he’s not a full-time father.

 

 

Dear Needs Attention Too,

Ouch. I get a lot of letters like yours, and it makes me wish I could write to the dads and not just the daughters. Since your father can’t read your mind, you’ll have to tell him how you feel. Don’t say, “You pay more attention to her than me.” Instead try, “Dad, I miss you.  I don’t see you often enough, so when we do get together it means a lot to me if we can do something, just us. What do you think?” I hope he realizes he’s lucky to have a daughter who loves him. If all else fails, leave this magazine open on his desk with a Post-it that says, “I confess—I sometimes feel that way.”

Im really shy when it comes to big groups.And I'll be going to high school next year. I know it's summer break and I really shouldn't be worried about it but it's bugging me. Every time I would have to present something in front of my class mates my voice would get quiet and it would start cracking. I know I sound terrible when I talk since one of my friends asked me if I was okay since it sounded like I was crying. It's so embarassing. I just wanna know how I could fix my problem.




Hey girlie,

Nah, we totally understand why you're thinking about it already - high school can seem scary at first! But luckily, it's totally common (almost everyone goes to high school!) so we have lots of articles to help ya. First, check out this awesome letter from the editor, Karen, about the first day of school. It can help to keep these things in mind because they make each day so much more fun! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/07/07/your-school-survival-checklist.aspx You should also remember that being nervous at first is standard - if you WEREN'T a little nervous, we'd be worried about ya! ;) But once you get there, you'll figure out your locker combo, where your classes are, where to sit for lunch, what your teachers are like, etc. Each day, it will get easier!!

And check out this article for help with the public speaking jitters. Again, completely normal! But there are ways to get more confidence and overcome those nerves - so read on Smile http://www.girlslife.com/post/2007/09/07/girl-talk-public-speaking-freaks-me-out.aspx?cp=all

My mom won't let me get a cell phone until i'm 16!!!!!How can I convince her to get me a cell phone!




Hey girl!

You're definitely not alone in this situation. There's lots parents who won't let their kids get phones until a certain age. Think about a couple reasons why you want a cell phone. List the practical reasons (like being able to communicate during emergencies or calling if you need a ride home) as well as the other reasons (like being able to text or snap photos). Calmly explain these reasons to your mom in a mature way. You also need to show her that you're responsible and that your phone won't interfere with your school work or other obligations. If she doesn't give in, maybe you could negotiate an age to get a phone between how old you are now and 16.

My parents are getting a divorce and want me to choose between them. I want to go with my mom but I don't know if that will hurt my dad?? Please help.

 

hey! I'm sorry that your parents are making you choose between them in their divorce; I think that puts a lot of unfair pressure on you. Since they are making you choose, if you want to live with your mom, then do it. This will affect a big part of your life, so you should do what you want to. Your dad will be ok with that.

I'm 16..and have been through A LOT, and would be happen to help you through anything. No question's to personal or to weird..trust me I can handle it.
Ask me about absolutley anything..I can give you top notch advice in:
