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

Check these out, too...

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!

Hey there! So, I feel like I seriously will make no friends in sixth grade. Like, really. What are some tips to make friends fast? I don't know if this makes a difference, but here are some things about me.
-I love makeup
-I love fashion
-I love boys
-I love to dance
-I love animals
-I am a vegan
So yeah! Thank you in advance, I know you MODs work so hard to answer all of us GL babes, and it can be hard to reply to everyone!

Hey girl!

Since you love a wide range of things, I'm sure you'll find a lot of people that you have things in common with. Just be super friendly to everyone and I'm sure you'll have no problem making friends. Don't worry!
