MOD MOD MOD! I've tried everything to get my friends to have fun with me this summer, but they all have plans. I need stuff to do by myself but could still be fun. Or maybe if I could try to meet friends in public places. But sometimes i'm shy. Please help!




Hey girlie,

You could always try looking around for an internship or part time job! (At your town pool, the library, the mall, etc.) Those can be a great way to make friends and pass your time...while also making some spending money. It's a win-win-win, if you're old enough Smile Craft projects are fun for summer too, like scrapbooking, blogging, painting, writing, etc. You could also redesign your bedroom or set a reading goal (like 50 books). Explore your town, take up a new hobby like cooking or an instrument... get creative and use this summer to achieve goals you've always wanted to achieve!

modddddsSmile
I am going to a volleyball camp tomorrow and the day after that at my new school. I just recently moved, and this will be my first school activity. I'm pretty nervous, but to top it off.. I think I'll be getting my period tomorrow or the day after that. I'm planning on wearing short-er shorts. I've never used tampons before.. so that's not an option. Do you have any tips?
Thankyoumuchh♥




Hey girl,

Wearing a lighter pad might be more comfortable, but a heavier one will make sure that you're completely covered.  Maybe just for these couple days you could wear shorts that are a little longer, just to make sure that you're not self-conscious about your period. You want to enjoy these days, and not have to worry about your period. Hope that helps! x0x0
