Parents want me to be Little Miss Perfect--like my sis

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
My older sister is a goody-goody and gets great grades. She is also great at sports. She doesn't care about boys, makeup and teenager things. My parents expect me to be like her. I stink at sports and get bad grades. How do I tell my parents I don't want to be compared to her?
 
Dear Compared,
Remind them that you have different strengths and interests. It's fine to enjoy clothes and crushes. But get a jump start on the new school year. Keep up in class, stay organized with homework and join an after school activity or two, like chorus, band, newspaper, theater, student council or community service. Make it a great new grade!

I have your same prob-except with my younger sis. Ha! She's great at sports, but i'm...not. I usually get on the B team while she gets on the A team. My dad even called the defense position in soccer (my sometimes position) a punishment! But just remember they just want you to be successful, but through there ways, not yours. Tell them that so they can understand and remember they still love you. Smile

this is serious. I have not eaten in over 24 hours and im not hungry. Im on medicine for an ear infection. I take it 3 times a day and i skipped 1 yesterday and have not taken them today. It cant be jet lag bc my flight yesterday was only 1 hour. Im scared and school starts on tuesday. (Btw i dont think ill make any friends this year) HELP!!!!!

 

Hey girl!

You should probably just try eating, even if you aren't hungry. Maybe you should also call the doctor to see what they say about it.
