girltalk Shay, age 15 When I was in seventh grade, I went to Marine World with my class on a field trip. I went on this big scary ride and after I got off I peed in my pants in front of everyone! It was so humiliating! Samantha, age 13 My best friend slept over one night. When she got to my house we walked up the stairs to put her stuff in my room. Right when we walked in, I remembered that I had left my Bratz dolls out all over the floor. I don’t usually play with them, but I was really bored and hadn’t played with them for a long time. When I remembered I had left them out, I told my friend to wait outside my room for a minute. I started cleaning the toys up and my friend started walking in! When she saw them she started laughing hysterically! Brittney, age 17 It was my senior prom and I was looking cute, and the strap on my shoe kept falling off. When I reached to fix it, I fell flat on my butt in front of everybody! It was so embarrassing that even the staff was laughing at me. Dear Julie, I haven’t talked to my friends all summer and I’m afraid I won’t have any friends when I get back to school. What do you think? –Confused in Carmichael Dear Confused, During the summer, your friends have been just as busy as you are with activities and family stuff and they will understand that you haven’t talked in a while. Give them a call before school starts and chat about the fun you had and how you’ve missed hanging out with them. Let your friends know you value their friendship and just because it’s been a while since you’ve talked, doesn’t mean you’re not still the best friends you were when school got out! Julie Hey Julie, My mom is trying to get into hip-hop and she embarrasses me in front of my friends by trying to dance with us when we’re listening to music or watching music videos. How do I tell her that she’s embarrassing me without hurting her feelings? –Embarrassed in Empire Hey Embarassed… Your mom is trying to be your friend! If she’s tying to dance with you and your friends I bet she’s got some great moves from her days. Ask her to teach you the way she danced in junior high and high school and see what you can learn. Share with her different moves that you know that would make her a better dancer too. Still embarrassed of her trying to hang out with your friends? Let her know by saying something like, “Mom, I really appreciate that you want to hang out with my friends, but sometimes you embarrass me a little.” I am sure she will understand you and you can come to an agreement. Keep dancin’! Julie Hey Julie, I recently got a boyfriend and he doesn’t like my guy best friend, it’s really hard to even get them to hang out in the same group, what do I do? –Too much in Tracy Hey Too Much… Sounds like you are dealing with too much. I think you should talk to your boyfriend first. Let him know you and your friend are just friends, if you wanted to be dating him, you wouldn’t be with your boyfriend, right? Tell him that just as there are great qualities that he appreciates in you, your best friend is great too! Also let your best friend know that sometimes you just want to hang out with your boyfriend. He’ll get the picture. If your boyfriend doesn’t understand, you need to really think about what is more important here. Your BEST friend or the boyfriend you just got.
