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

 

Check these out, too...

  • 10 things to tell your mom anytime
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
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!

My room is sorta clean. I try to keep clean but sometimes it can get a little messy. I guess that is life. But I am sorta OCD on how my books and paper looks around my room

I want to move to Ohio to be with my boyfriend, he's 11. I'm 10. My mom said she'll consider it and i'm pretty excited! What kind of exciting things are there to do in Ohio?



Hey gal pal,

Ohio is just as great as any other state for girls of your age, lots of cows too, I hear.

my mom and i always bump heads all the time. shes not the typical mom she can't keep calm and can't let a conversation go without putting in the last word and getting her way and sh yells a lot!!! Witch is hard for me to keep calm whene she's screaming and yelling about something! how do i keep on my moms good side and get her to stop yelling!!!! PLZ BEFORE I GO DEAF!!!!

 

 Hey chica! I can totally relate! My mom and I end up fighting all the time, but recently we've been getting along better. Even though sometimes it sucks to say your wrong or agree with your mom when you don't like what she's saying, if you occasionally let her have her way it's a lot easier to avoid the fights. Try to compromise as often as possible. When your mom says asks something of you, but you wanted to do something else instead say "sure mom, but would you mind if I did....after?"  Hope this helps! xoxo

Carly S.
