Oops! How to recover from that #awkwardmomentwhen

 

Check these out, too...

  • Hat Day horror
  • Bra store busted
  • Grandpa's got the giggles
  • Why don't we go find your manners while we're at it?
  • I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world...
We’ve all been the girl who’s kept her cool ‘til she lands in a way-awkward situation. It’s time to pull your foot outta your mouth, shake off that clumsy misstep and rock the awk, babe. Here’s how to recover when anything—and everything—goes wrong.

 

Oops! Your forgot your new bud’s name

Sitch saver: “I’m so sorry—I’ve met so many people today, I can’t keep their names straight! What’s yours again?”

 

Oops! You were laughing with your ladies one sec, and the next you're flat on your bum on the cafeteria floor

Sitch saver: “Did someone leave a banana peel on the floor or something?” And then pick yourself up, laugh and pretend it never happened.

 

Oops! You blurt out something about totally hating how jocks strut around wearing their jerseys…and your bud is standing there, wearing her field hockey uni.

Sitch saver: “OMG, I feel like such an idiot.  I mean, I hate it when it becomes a status symbol, you know? And did I mention I’m coming to the game to cheer you on?”

 

Oops! Your crush catches you staring. Again. In the middle of class.

Sitch saver: “Sorry! I was just looking at…(those sneakers, they’re so cool/your doodle, where did you learn to draw like that?/your cell, is that the new iPhone?).”

 

Oops! You’re wearing the same outfit as someone else.

Sitch saver: “Great minds think alike!” paired with a cool-girl grin.

 

Oops! You totally spaced out in math class, right when Teach asked you a Q.

Sitch saver: Shake your head and say, “I'm really sorry, but I'm still stuck on the last question. Do you think we could go over it again before moving on?”

 

Oops! Mom embarrassed you in front of everyone when she dropped you off in the morning.

Sitch saver: “She always does that!” and roll your eyes.

So I REALLY like this guy at karate, and he happens to be my best friend's older brother. The thing is, he never talks to me. We've never even had a conversation. Plus, he goofs around with one of my other best friends. What does that mean? Who does he like? I'm so confused!
Also, today was his birthday, and I didn't say a thing to him. Now I feel really bad. SO I'm going to try and muster up my courage and tell him 'happy late birthday' when I see him next. Is that a good idea? I don't want to seem creepy or anything...
Sorry its long, but I'm kinda freaking out...

Just a random question but why do people in Europe or austrailia think that Americans are stupid lazy and/or fat. 😢 I think it's a mean stereotype because some of their citizens are like that but not all of them and SOME of our citizens are like that but Some also take pride in being smart athletic and healthy. Just to be clear, my question is why they think that.
Xoxo




Hey girlie,

I agree, it's totally a mean stereotype - but remember these things:

1) It's also a stereotype to assume that all Europeans/Australians think of us this way. Not everyone shares that opinion, so try not to generalize! (And even if they do think that, that doesn't mean they're bad people. They just have different lifestyles.)

2) It's also not false. Of all the countries in the world, the United States has the highest rates of obesity. Two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, and the number keeps rising. That's a MAJOR public health problem and of course other countries can see that - so that's where the idea of Americans as "fat and lazy" comes from. The truth is, we all really need to start caring more about our health - not because of appearances, but because we owe it to ourselves to respect our bodies and make sure they last for as long as possible. It comes from a lot more serious issues though (like lack of money to buy healthier foods), so fixing it isn't as easy as it seems. I hope this helps to answer your question! <3

ok so my "bff" i really dont like anymore. I think im over being her bff. We just dont click. I have a nother bff and she is great. How do i tell my old bff i really dont want to be her bff anymor. Sorry if its confusing thanks so much anywah Smile




Hey girlie,

Instead of telling your old BFF that you're "breaking up" with her, try casually pulling away and becoming less available. If you used to hang out every weekend, cut back so you aren't available as often. If you texted a lot, take longer to respond and text less. There's no reason to make things dramatic and get into a huge fight - it'll be easier if you keep things civil so you can say hey at school without being awkward. If it seems like you just grew apart, there won't be any hard feelings Smile
