ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Not a stellar student? How to do your best this year

 

 

I’m going into eighth grade and freaking out because I’m horrible in school. I want to be smart and try my best, but I always get bad grades. Do you have any tips on how to stay focused?

 

Dear School Stuck,

You can make the new school year your best yet. Sit toward the front, speak up in class, stay on top of assignments and strive to excel in at least one subject (English? Science? Art?). It sounds like you need a new strategy this year. Maybe your parents can hire a college kid as a “homework helper”? Do you need an adult math or language tutor? Or extra time with a teacher? Might you have a learning issue like ADD? Can you study in a library or set up a work space at home with a bright light and inviting desk? Invest in pens, highlighters and supplies, and kick off the new school year with a winning attitude. Instead of dreading the first day, plan ahead and make this your turnaround year.

Mod mod mod!!!!! So i havent got my period yet and i have soo many questions! Here are three... Does it hurt when you get it? Can you have summer fun with a period? Does the blood just pour out when you have it and go right though your pants?

Hey girl,

It's totally normal to have questions about your period, but relax, because it happens to everyone! It doesn't hurt, and you can still go in the pool or ocean if you have a tampon. If not you can still have fun on the beach and chill poolside! And when you have your period, you wear a pad or tampon so it won't get to your pants.

BLOOD? NOT!
Okay, so my mom has never gotten a period since she was like 15. I've already been having mine for almost a year now, but it happened twice were I would skip a month. Will I end up like my mom?

 

 

 

Hey Girl. It's unlikely that your mom doesn't have her period naturally, but there are some medicines and medical conditions that can prevent women from having their periods. A woman's cycle is different in each person, yours could be longer than the average girl's. it's also really common for someone who has only recently gotten their period (yes, 1 year is recent) to be irregular.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't gone out with a boy yet, and all my friends have. I feel so left out! I do have a few crushes and they have talked to me, i just don't know how to make a move.

 Hey girl,

 

There is no pressure to date just because your friends are! It's more than ok to wait until you find someone you like. If you want to talk to your crushes, try starting a casual conversation about school or tv. Once you are friends it will be easy to talk to them!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!! Not the best athlete.........So i am the straight A student in the family. But my older sister is the sports star. I get jealous! Anyway i am a star when it comes to skiing but i live far away from the mountains. I play softball but i hate it. I am an ok player at tennis but i enjoy that much much more than softball. I just need help on what to do when high school coems around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hey girl! you don't HAVE to be a sports star. I bet your sis is pretty jealous that you're such a great student. don't compare yourself to her, just be the best YOU you can be!

xoxo
