Violence on TV freaks me out

 

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 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 keep this journal which i write down almost every single thing in my day, good or bad. But my older sister some how finds where i hid it and reads it. I've asked her to stop and even told my parents, but she doesn't give up! Writing how my day went helps me learn what i did wrong or right. How can i get her to stop reading my journal?

 

hey! if she absolutely won't stop, keep another journal and don't tell anyone about it, once she thinks you're not writing in your old one she may lose interest. good luck!

Hey Girls, do you want advice right away? Check out my advice queen page: dragonsrox1000. I check pretty much every day, but I just started so I don't have any fans. Frown I have boy experience, I'm a dancer, and I'm a freshman in high school. Thanks!

I am the same way with TV. Things I watch can really mess me up and find their way into my head in the worst way. So I make sure to only watch things that I'm going to be fine with having in my head and wont freak me out later..you should try that. It's hard at first but then you realize how much happier you are without so many bad images and ideas in your head

This has nothing to do with this topic btw. Okay so there's this boy I am in
L-O-V-E in. I only get to see him once a week on Monday's though :.( *sniff.* He's 2 years older than me, but I know people who are 5 years apart, so I don't think it's thattt bad. Anyways, my bday is in April & I really want him to go. He has an older brother who is 3 years older than me. I don't have his number, and I feel weird asking him... because we aren't that close. My mom & his mom are like friends. How can I get him to come to my bday? I don't wanna make things awkward when I see him again... Any ideas?

Hey girlie,

Two years doesn't sound like too much of a difference, but it can be a lot when you're younger! If you want him to come to your birthday party, that's not awkward since there will be other people there. You don't have to ask him as a date! And if you're friends, it won't be awkward to ask for his number as friends!
