Bad habits!

Bad habits are things that are gross or not acceptable in public. Some examples are nail biting, nose picking, hair sucking, thumb sucking, etc. There are ways to try and get rid of them.

Nail biting: keep hands busy at times when you are bored(sit on hands?) or there is a special nail polish to keep you from biting and finally you can ask your mom or do it your self to clip your nails every few days.

Nose picking: keep hands busy:sitting, tapping,etc.

Thumb sucking: keep hands away from mouth or keep them busy and when sleeping, keep hands away from mouth and there also is a special thing to put around your thumb to make you stop.

And most of all............... have perseverance! if you try really hard to reach your goal it just might be achieved!

Baby! You're a baby!!

Everyone has some thing they treasure higher than anything else. Yours could be a doll or a piece of jewelry. But some people have things they treasure from when they were younger. A blanket is one example. But some people say its baby like to have a blanket. Well, this teasing can hurt your feelings. If it really hurts just say you don't like them calling you names. If you don't feel comfortable with that, you can laugh a little at them and say something like'' you know how much i treasure it''. And don't try and give up your blanket if you don't want to. You'll know when your really ready to give it up! And remember, its ok to have a blankie!

You're lazy... and you're mean... Not Fair!!!

If you look at someone and judge or sort them by what they look like or do for a living is a stereotypical judgement. An example is if you see a Blondie and you assume that they are dumb because of their hair color. That is really mean, and you must try to not do that. Would you want someone to see you and assume you're lazy or mean? A way to try and not stereotypically judge someone is to think about someone you know like that and say ''are they dumb?''. You won't think of people like that anymore if you keep thinking of others you know like that that aren't like that. If that doesn't work for you try and get to know someone you think is dumb or lazy because of the way they look or what they do for a living. You will see that stereotypical judgements aren't nice or fair or TRUE!!! You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover!

Do you need help?

I have been writing about the most common and obvious problems. If you have your own problem please post it on any of my posts. I would love to help solve your problem!

Give up?!

Giving away things is really hard. But you need to give up somethings, 'cause there isn't room for it all. Try and give away things you don't use. Still to hard? Answer these questions to see if this item in your mind is really worth keeping

• Do you use it every day?



• Have you used it lately?



• Is it in nice condition?



• Are you not able to buy a new one if you end up needing it later?

If you answered mostly no, then this item is probably not that special or needed. You are safe on giving it away. And if you want it back, buy a new one! And any way, when give this stuff away the new owner might find it more useful to them than it was to you!

Friend bully!

Do you have a friend bully? Well, a friend bully is a friend of yours who is a bully to others, and sometimes, even you. Friend bully's can bully you into bullying people too. Friend bully's can be a big problem. You may really like your friend, even if they bully you, but you probably hate bullying. So your torn between the two. You think if you stand up to your friend they might bully you, so you go on his or her side. This can make a bully stronger. You have to stand up for whats right. So if you have a bully friend, next time they try and harm you or someone else, stand up to them. Each person who stands up deletes one bully group!

Switch!

Switching schools!! I'm gonna miss my bffs! Switching schools is a hard thing. You'll be leaving people you like a lot and that you have been with since, WHO KNOWS! But it can also be a nice thing. Meeting new people and learning new learning techniques and the ways of different schools. In my mind, its like practice for life. Someday you will leave your first school when you go to high school or college, and maybe your job. But i know what really bothers you, fitting in. You think if you don't ''fit in'' you'll be bullied. Well, i won't lie, new kids are picked on quite a lot. But, if you hold your head high and just say hello, you'll be making friends soon enough! The kids at your old school liked you, why shouldn't these!(if you do end up as a bully's target, see my other post about bullying)And you can still see your friends at your old school too!!

Friend = Fight?

Alas, even best of friends get into the worst fights. It's normal to have fights. But in the end YOU have to try and make it better too. May be you think it was your friends fault, but if you don't apologize, you could lose your friendship. Also, you have to listen to your friend if she is trying to explain to you what she meant to do. You have to be fair to your friend. Here are the top 5 things that you shouldn't do :

• not speak to your friend

• ignore your friend





• leave your friend out





• bully him or her





• act like you don't wish to keep your friendship

These things will really hurt your friend or harm your friendship. You might never make up, or change from friend to enemy. If your friend tries to make up, listen. You'll probably want to say something to. Friendships are like a piece of string. Is you pull the string it gets longer and stronger, even though along the way there maybe knots, you are going to untangle them soon enough!

True friends?

You probably have many friends. But are they all your friends true? There may be some girl that is so ''popular'' or whatever that you think is your friend. But she is not one of your true friend. She is always surrounded by others and your not really involved. It's okay to be nice to her and have her as a friend, but stick to the people closer to you. This girl could be trouble if you tell her any thing personal. Try and stay close to the ones you really trust. True friends are comforting, and to have a lot of them is great!

STOP! That's Bullying!

Bullying, we will never know why they do it. To feel better about themselves is the most common reason. The thing is that the bully's have to target someone. That someone either outshines them or is different from the bully. Big or small or new or brainy, the thing the victim is proud of must become shame. But if you are being targeted and don't know what to do, stand up. If the bully is intimidating you either tell him or her to stop or ignore them and go to an adult and tell them what happened immediately. And if you see someone being bullied help them out. They may not want it, but if they don't stand up, you must. DON'T LET SOMEONE EVER HARM YOU! You are perfect, it's the bully who has the problems.

A sad thing grows

A divorce is a very sad thing that can hurt your heart as much as your parents. But the divorce is no ones fault! Not you or your siblings, its just when your parents don't want to be together any more. These things have many reasons, maybe one is receiving abuse, or they argue at the slightest thing and get angry with each other. But don't worry, there are other kids suffering this and you don't have to be depressed! I know that the people you love the most are separating, but they don't have to separate from you! So don't be so sad, surround your life with good friends and have fun! Remember, your not the only one!

Phobias!

You might not know what a phobia is. Well, a phobia is something you're really scared of. My phobia is spiders (even though i like Charlotte's web). It could be heights, the dark or whatever. But there is only 1 way to get rid of them. Face them. You have to face your fear and try and get over it. Maybe, say you need help. Ask someone you love to help! Mine is spiders, so maybe my family could go to some spider museum and learn more about them! If it's heights, you could start with the nice and slow Ferris wheel! Maybe, you could end up on a roller coaster (WARNING: if you are feeling sick do not go on a ride like that!) So if your tired of that phobia that's got you scared to death, stand up to it, you may learn to like it!

SIBLINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Siblings. Just saying it makes me want to shout! They may get on your nerves, and they get at a point were you would like to do whatever you threaten to do. STAY CALM! Don't start yelling at them or hitting them. That will make them cry, and that will have them remembering what you did for a VERY long time and you'll feel very guilty. So just try and ignore them. If that is to hard just STOP! then think ''should i stay here and get into a fight or should i go read a good book?'' you'll probably answer read a book or watch TV or what ever. If THAT doesn't work, go and talk to the one that is getting on your nerves an d tell them that you would rather play with them than fight. Most likely that sibling is going to stop and just be your friend!
