Question

I'm nervous about the New Year and celebrating it. What do I do?

Community Answer

Just relax, and take it easy. This is meant to be a fun occasion after all. Reflect on the past, plan the future, and at the same time, thank God that you have lived yet another year. Do all of this with your family. Enjoy good food, exchange gifts, listen to music, and have a good time.

Question

If you're celebrating New Year's Eve at home, what does everybody wear?

Community Answer

You can wear whatever you want. If you want to be fancy and dress up you can do that, you can wear casual clothes, or you can wear your pajamas and have a slumber party theme to your celebration.

Question

I'm 13 years old and I want to do something fun but no one at home is interested. What should I do?

Community Answer

Call up a friend and Skype as the ball drops on TV. Write a list of new year's resolutions and hang it on your wall. Encourage your family to do the same.

Question

I am alone this New Year's Eve. How could I enjoy it?

Community Answer

You could treat yourself to something. Watch a movie and eat ice cream, or cuddle up with a pet and a good book. You could also think about the past year and what you'd like to change next year.

Question

I like to have a fun time but I don't know how to ask my parents to celebrate New Years Eve with a friend and invite them over for even more fun. How should I approach them?

Community Answer

The best thing to do would be to just go straight to them and ask them. Most parents would prefer that their kids were home and safe having a fun time with friends.

Is it safe to put the coin in the cake?

Community Answer

No, it is not safe as someone could bite into it and break their teeth or they could even choke on it.

Question

How can I pretend I'm having fun when I'm not? I don't like loud noise, so I don't know what to do and I've been pretending I'm having fun.

Community Answer

Either you can pretend and feel uncomfortable or you can stay calm and engaged with whatever else like reading, watching TV or the likes and no one should have a problem with it. Hyper happy display might not be sensible or required, especially at home, because they all know how you really feel. Just be poised and sensitive enough not to tell someone their effort to be happy is annoying you.
