How to deal with a summer breakup


 

Check these out, too...

  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
My boyfriend broke up with me right before I had to leave for camp. I still haven’t let go—I want to work on our relationship. The thing is, he never talked to me much when we were together. Even during school, we never saw each other very often. How can I be the girl of his dreams?            


Dear Heartbroken,

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. But instead of holding onto the threads of this worn-down romance, get out a pretend pair of scissors and—snip!—set yourself free. Really, why try to be the girl of his dreams when you can have dreams of your own? Look toward the future instead of the past, and have fun talking to new friends at summer camp rather than fretting about a guy who wasn’t even all that communicative in the first place. Stay busy, laugh a lot, and don’t let memories of this ex hold you back from having a great summer—starting now.

MOD!!!! PLEASE ANSWER ME, MOD, PLEASE!!!!
Okay, so I had to wear these super painful shoes for my uncle's wedding. I got a huge blister on my heel, it popped, and bled like crazy during the wedding. 4 days later, my heel is black, and I can't put my foot down on the ground all the way or else my heel rips open and starts bleeding again. What should I do? Should I go to a doc or something? Please, I really need your help. Frown



Hey babe,

I think you should definitely get to the doc!  It sounds to me like a blood blister, which isn't much to worry about apart from being a nuisance, but I'm not an expert like a doctor would be.

My mom doesn't take my sport seriously. I've been playing volleyball for nearly 2 years, and I'm going to go out for my highschool's JV team next year. I eat, sleep, and breathe volleyball, and I'm always trying to play my hardest. The thing is, I don't think my mom takes it seriously. She's never supported me, and she doesn't get that to practice serves well (I'm working on ym overhand), you need a net to see if they're gonna go over or not. She doesn't get why I can't just practice in our backyard, which is full of hills, holes, and little divits everywhere. So you cant put a volleyball net out there, and I've spranied my ankle three times trying to practice out there. I've confronted my mom on how it seems like she doesn't take my dedication seriously, and she claims that she does. But she doesn't understand what I need to practice. She's made me miss three practices in a row because she didn't feel like it. What can I do to make her take me seriously?



Hey girlie,

You're going to have to sit her down and have a real conversation with her about it.  Let her know how she makes you feel when she acts like she doesn't care, and then if she tries to say she does, give examples.  Bring your dad into it if you're really worried.
