ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

SOS! Mom makes me hang with my sisters 24/7

My mom doesn't let me do anything because I have three sisters, and she thinks I should stay home and play with them. My friends don't understand and get mad at me. If I tell them I can't go to the movies, they're like, "Again?!" It's  so not fair! My mom loves to make my life miserable.
 
Dear Misery,
I doubt your mom is trying to make you unhappy, but you should talk to her. Don't shout, "It's so unfair!" Instead, try to sound calm, comfortable and confident, and say, "Mom, I love my sisters. I like playing with them, and I'm willing to babysit sometimes. But my friends are important to me, too, and when I can't make plans with them, it's hard on my friendships." Since your wishes are reasonable, you're better off speaking up than resenting your mom. You could also try a letter if a conversation is too tricky.

Hey girlies!
Need advice? Well I'm here to help! You can ask me advice on anything and I mean anything and I will ALWAYS have answers! I am going into high school next year so I am an expert on middle school, as for high school I might have a poniters, but i might need some too, so if anyone is an expert on high school i'm kinda scared and could use all the help I can get. But seriously I'm here for advice and if you just need a good listener...

xoxo,
Claire <3

I'm not one of those people who want piercings all over their body, but I have earrings. Lately I've been thinking about getting my lip pierced.. (I know, it's kinda weird). But my dad thinks that people will judge me. And I want to make a compromise with him, but I don't know how..

 

Hey girl! Getting your lip pierced is a big decision.  Some schools and jobs won't let you wear any piercings other than ear piercings, so you might have a hard time letting it heal if your school has a policy against it.  If your dad is against face piercings, ask his if you can get your cartilage pierced instead.  It still looks cool, but you'll be able to wear it around school and at any job you might get in the future. xoxo

Hey, so tonight my sister got in some trouble for being to scared to go somewhere. I told my sis that i would go with her but she refused. we got into a fight and my dad screamed and got mad at me! I know i was yelling, but he pushed me onto the stairs and it hurt my back. I don't think he meant to do this on purpose. He was mad and I was mad to. My dad is super nice and can get upset ( but most parents can have their moments ) but I'm just not sure how I should react.
Thanks! Smile

Hey girl,

You should talk to a trusted adult asap to sort over your feelings and what happened. Try talking to your mom or an adult family member, or a teacher, guidance counselor or doctor. They can give you better advice to the situation and can help you better if you talk to them in person and explain everything.

I only get see my cousins 2 or 3 times a year.So I only talk to 2 of my cousins and never talk to the rest.So I feel like the 2 cousins I talk to are annoyed by me.So I want to talk to all my cousins including my guy cousins but I get nervous & dont know what to say , so i just dont talk to them.Any Advice? Thank you soo much .

 

Hey chica, I know it can be kinda awk with family members ya don't see much.  I love my cousins, but as we started to grow up it was weird for a while because we were all at diff stages and didn't know what to talk about.  Anyways, just be friendly and be yourself.  Ask about their lives - schools, hobbies, friends.  Or find an activity, like playing a game, to do when you're together - it will be fun and keep away weird silences.  Hope that helps!  xoxo
