ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Violence on TV freaks me out

 
My parents watch a bunch of crime shows like Law and Order, NCIS and CSI. I have a feeling they’re affecting me. I imagine violence everywhere. It makes me afraid to go places and fall asleep. I think I need a psychologist. Do you?

 

Dear Traumatized,

I think you need to walk away from the television. Ask your parents to watch these shows in their bedroom or after you’re asleep. Even if they keep watching in the open, you don’t have to. I never watch scary shows—they spook me, too. By the way, real life is nowhere near as dangerous as TV makes it seem. You should be smart and sensible and safety-conscious, but you should not be paranoid. Still worried? Talk over your fears with your school counselor.

I'm quite the opposite actually, I love those type of shows. Smile
But they're just meant for entertainment, and a lot of times people get captivated by crime and mystery, so that's why they focus on those things! But just keep in mind that real life isn't as dramatic as the shows portray. I agree, step away from the TV, and if it helps maybe bring a friend along with you wherever you're going - I'm sure it'll help get your mind off things. Smile

If she gets affected by those shows, I hope she will never see the Walking Dead! Lol.

I have my first date this weekend. And it is to a sports mall. I do sports and enjoy them. I am kind of shy when it comes to talking to boys face to face, but for some reason in texting I'm fine! This guy and I send hearts to eat other etc. but tomorrow when I see him I'm afraid ill choke and won't know what to say. He's supposed to meet my parents. I'm scared ill get embarrassed and won't say anything during the date. Can you give me some tips so I won't choke and make a fool out of myself in front of him? Haha thanks!




This is very common! Make sure to...

- Not look/sound nervous...just relax.

- Carry a conversation (ask him about his family, friends and activities).

- Don't talk too much, make sure you let him talk too!

- Be confident!

Don't watch it. If your parents are watching a scary movie or show, don't be compelled to watch it and later tell GL that you're having nightmares. By the way, is there an article to getting rid of nightmares?
