troubled gal: THanks a lot for the reply in such a short time,but it isnt so simple 2 go along with them it seems that i understand them but they just don't care and took me as if im extra and there's nothing for me to talk because they r just like talking among themselves about topics of their own.they just don't want to share,i feel as if i'm just being made a laughing stock...one laugh and the othrs follow...I FEEL TERRIBLE!


Dear Troubled girl,
Firstly, we apologise for the last reply. We've been busy with our personal stuff these few weeks. Sorry. Hmm . . . I would suggest you to have a hearty chat with them. It's beeter to let them know about your feelings rather than storing them in your heart. But if these problems still continue, I would suggest you to leave your friends. It's because they don't seem a bit interested in your doings. You will find a better friend(s) in the future. Jia you(:

Emotions
When kids are at a new school, they start to have different kinds of emotions. Many will feel nervous, scared, or excited about school. Although those who are coming back as seniors may be happy they're in their final year and can't wait to see their friends again, most juniors or new kids are likely to be uptight or anxious.
It's perfectly alright to feel anxious on the first day of school. Getting back to the school routine and adjusting to new amounts of homework takes some getting used to after a long break. You can try thinking back to some previous "first days"you had. Everything probably settled down pretty quickly once you got settled.
Meeting new people or getting back with classmates can feel overwhelming, especially if you're the shy or reserved type. If too many people in a group makes you anxious, try saying hello to one or two new people a day — the kid at the desk next to yours in your classroom is a good way to start. Or sit with new people in the canteen.
If you still feel uncomfortable after a couple of days, talk to the school counselor, a favorite teacher, or someone you trust with your feelings about what you can do. But give yourself time — most problems to school adjustment are not permanent.

troubled gal: hmm i wanna ask...what should i do if i cant get along well wif my friends? sometimes i feel so stressed being with them...even felt left out too..what should i do?

Dear troubled gal,
You should try to talk with them and get to know them better. Knowing them better will help you get along better with your friends. Try not to feel stressed being with your friends as you should feel happy about having friends. When felt left out, try to join in their conversation to feel not so left out. Hope you can get along well with your friends soon!

Passerby: how do i cope with friendship problems? My bestfriend and i have been quarrelling for quite some time.

Dear Passerby,
One way to cope with friendship problems is to forgive and forget. Most teenagers experience quarelling with friends too. You can cope by forgetting about the quarrel and forgiving your friend. Try to be the one to start a conversation with your friend. Maybe your friend had also forgotten about the quarrel and had already forgave you. Your friend might also want to talk to you but just don't know how to start a conversation with you. Hope we helped you cope with friendship problems better (:

Complicated me: Aunties ! Help me ! My best friend , keep talking bad things about me Which is never true ! She keep saying that , i keep stealing all her boyfriends . But it's never true ! I'm not that kind of person . Please , tell me what to do ! :'( I seriously need help :'(

Dear Complicated me,
I think you can try to talk to your best friend. As you mentioned, she's your best friend. By trying to talk to your best friend, you can know what happened and why she keep saying that you keep stealing her boyfriends. Maybe there is a misunderstanding between you and your best friend. After knowing why your best friend says that you steal her boyfriends, you can try to explain yourself and try to solve the misunderstanding. Hope you and your best friend can be best friends again! :D

Do algebra problems 15 to 25. Read pages 12 to 20 of the Shakespeare play, and when you're finished with that, don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the Periodic Table worksheet.

Sound like a roster of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? Homework is a major part of going to school: It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand of what's going on in class, and it helps reinforce important concepts.

Create a Homework Plan

Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work. Here are some solutions to help you cope with your too-much-homework-a-day dilemma. (:

  • First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your student diary if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected. It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

  • Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have library that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. It's tempting to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured time, but the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.


  • Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most secondary students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and it seems like you've got an assignment in every subject, you'll need to devote more time to homework. It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities.

AIYAH: help me aunties! A guy confessed to me but i don't like him! HELP AHHHHHH!!!!!

Dear AIYAH,

Hhm, you can consider telling the person that you are not interested
in a relationship right now and you want to concentrate on your studies now.
Or, you can tell him that you would like to maintain the relationship as friends as
it would be better for the both of you. (:

Young Girl: I'm 13 yrs old, im experiencing relationship problems. I find it hard to communicate with my friends. Please help me!

Dear Young Girl,

Ahhhh! That's a question everyone is asking nowadays.
See, friendship isn't as easy as ABC. To hear many of you tell it, making a good friend is almost like adding a new family member. It comes with trust and responsibility.

Try to talk to your friends to find out what's the problem between you guys. Write her a note or e-mail. She may be feeling troubled lately and does not want to talk about it. But my advice is,

"Cherish them like you only have one last day with them."

After a long holiday break of sleeping in or doing things in your time, the alarm bell announcing the first day of school can come off as quite a shock. Whether you're an anxious new freshman or a confident senior, heading back to school means a time of transition: new classes, new teachers, new schedules, and a new social scene. Hate it or love it, you have to go to school. Here are some ways to make the change from holidays to school a little better.

The First-Day
The first day of school can be crazy. Freshmen walking around everywhere, running in all directions, looking for their classrooms.

How can you combat first-day chaos?
If you're starting at a new school, try to go for a visit before school starts. Most schools offer maps in their handbooks. Get one and give it a read before heading off to school — then keep it in your bag until you're familiar with your new environment.

Your first day of school is also the time to bring in some new stationeries and papers. It can help to pack your school bag the night before school starts so you're not gonna panic at the last minute looking for what you need. And don't forget to bring back any forms that you'll need to hand in! Nobody would wanna start the first day of school leaving a bad impression on your form teacher 'cos of a form you forgot to bring.

Schools usually starts with an assembly. You'll meet your new discipline mistress, teachers and they'll probably give you an overview of the school, its rules, what the term will be like and what is expected of your behavior. Afer that and introductions of the teacher and your classmates, some teachers will jump right into their first lesson, while others may have interactive activities planned. It all depends on what class, what teacher.

What if one of your friends is turning to bad company,how can I help him/her??

Dear Waiwan,

if your friend is turning to bad company, you can try to advice them about the consequences after joining the bad company. For example, they will start taking up smoking, or even worst, dealing with drugs. Which also leads to drug trafficking. Or he/she refuse to listen to your advice, you should report to his/her parents or teachers and councellors. If none of the above is helpful, the best advice is to report it to the police.
Yours truly,
The Aunties.
