How to get in on any convo

 

Check these out, too...

  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Girl Code: Is it OK to date your BFF's crush?
  • Flirts with you but likes a popular girl? Here's what to do
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?

I have good friends at camp, but when I ask what they’re talking about, this one girl gets really mad. How can I tell her to stop getting all mad at me just because I ask about a conversation?

 

Dear Not That Annoying,

I don’t know what her deal is but, instead of quizzing a group with, “What are you talking about?” join right in after listening a moment to what’s being discussed. When in doubt, jump in with a new subject: “Did you hear there was a mouse in Deer Cabin?” And you can’t go wrong with a compliment like, “Love your bracelet!” or an invitation like, “Who wants to go swimming later?”

 

Camp will soon be over, but do your best to find girls who welcome your company rather than trying to become closer with a girl who choose to act stuck up.

I dont know who I am, or how to create myself. I know I want to be a musician, and creative. But I always think to myself "Why am I trying you suck! you can never be like the famous people!" So i try o force myself to be like them, and I hate that! I have a band of my own we are a rock band, and I'm always saying "we can't do that because Evanescence doesn't do that!" PLEASE HELP ME! How can I create myself? and How can I create my band's and I's image, how can we be unique? HELP ME PLEASE, IT'S FRUSTRATING ME!

Hey girl,

Give yourself a break, I'm sure you are totally awesome Smile You should never force yourself to be like anyone else, because there is only one you! I'm sure the other members of your band have some great ideas, so why not hold a band meeting and talk to them? That way you can create an image that's all your own! And don't worry if you're not sure of yourself yet -- plenty of people change from who they were when they were younger, and it's okay to keep figuring out who you are!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!! Plz Help!
I have a really annoying, teasing friend. She acts like shes better than everyone, and all the guys like her. On Valentines Day, my BF (then. i broke up with him the next day) gave her two cards, a teddy bear, and a box of chocolates. He didnt even talk to me!! She can be really nice and funny, and great to be with. But this morning, at 2 am, we were at a sleepover. she was teasing me so much, I wanted to call my mom and ask her to come pick me up early. Sooo... she ended up being on my cheer team. How can I survive this season?

Hey girl,

The best way to get over the problem would be to talk to her! Tell her that you like spending time with her but that you don't like when she teases you. If she apologizes, great! If not, try to make friends with some of your other teammates and not talk to her more than you have to. It will be okay!

a girl at my camp would just, walk up into a group of people and then she would just listen! or she would say i hope you dont mind im going to join in this convo, and no one would really mind.

Hi, two of my best friends get all of their bras from VS PINK, and I am too small for those bras, and also, they can be really expensive, so I can't get bras from there. I know they aren't (trying to) bragging, but it sometimes makes me feel really left out when they talk about how great it is to shop there and stuff... Frown I don't like feeling left out!

Hey girl,

Try talking about other topics that you can be a part of! It really, really doesn't matter where you buy your bras from, so don't let that come between you and your friends! Try steering the conversation to something you all enjoy Smile
