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.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!I'm so upset. I'm pretty sure that when someone told me that, that guy I used to like was gay I was being lied to as a ploy to get me over him. and now I think he's after some girl.I don't like him anymore but I'm so upset that someone would lie. and yeah were friends we don't even talk in school he dosent even look me in the eye when we pass each other in the hallway.the only we even text is if I text him first and I'm not sure what to do anymore
HELP!!!!!!!




I'm sorry girl, but it doesn't seem like he likes you back. Maybe your friend was trying to protect you from getting hurt! Who really know what either of them are doing, you can only know the real answers if you talk to both of them. Maybe you should talk to your friend first, she may know of something!

My mom wont let me date because she says it will get to my head and my grades wont be good like they are now. I know it wont but she wont believe me. How can I convince her. Thanks. Please reply quickly.

Hey girlie,

I know it's hard, but try to understand where your mom is coming from. She's only saying that stuff because she loves you! You have so many more years to date, and school really is the most important part of your life right now! Maybe you and your mom can reach a compromise, like that you could have a study date with a guy you like. That way you will get to spend time with him while keeping your grades up! Try having a calm conversation with your mom to show your maturity, and don't raise your voice if she says no. And listen to her reasons, because they might be valid! If you can't make a compromise, do your best to respect her decision. You can always bring the topic up again after some time has passed. Good luck!
