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

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!

The girl's hair in the picture is so pretty. I love it! And I agree with everyone else who said they liked her hair.

MOD MOD MOD I start high school on Monday at a brand new school in a new state.. I met an 11th grader, who just like me, just moved here and is just as nervous as I am. I didn't catch his name when I talked to him, but he's like, hollister model cute. How do I get him to talk to me before another girl snatches him up? I definitely know he's interested in me, but i'm scared that's not going to last for long. Please help!

 

 

Hey again, chica! I'd make plans to hang out with him sometime. Talk to him the next time you see him, and see if he wants to grab coffee or study together one night. It's scary, but you have to take charge and let him know that you're interested too Smile
