  • Question
    No-one seems to want to talk to me or be friends with me. On the bus today I was trying to be funny and my friend said "Stop! That is why no one likes you". I was crying because usually that is what people say about me and it hurts my feelings and I just want to die. Please give advice.
    Community Answer
    You do not need those kinds of friends; they're not the best you can do and your so-called friend's comment was mean. Look for shy or quiet people, who are nice people inside, and reach out in friendship. Look where no one else does because there are some really good people out there that no one even looks twice at. And you are worth it, so feel proud of yourself and wipe away those tears!

    How can I make my mother happy? I'm a tween and my mom is going through rough times.
    Community Answer
    Let your mom know that you are there for her and will always be. Help her also to see that there are still people in her life who love her, such as her siblings, cousins, parents, friends or whoever else is relevant. Try not to stress her out too much, do as many chores as you can to help out, stay calm and speak quietly if you need to raise issues with her and help others see what your mom is going through by talking to them. Most of all, show your mom lots of love.
  • Question
    People call me annoying. How do I deal with it?
    Community Answer
    Determine first whether there is any validity to their comments. Sometimes the truth resides in such a comment, especially where various different people are telling you this. For example, are you being clingy, too talkative, nosy or acting as if everything is a drama? If so, these things annoy other people. However, if you consider they're just being mean or dismissive, ignore the comment and stay confident. In some cases, you might just be the target of a smear campaign if a group of ex-friends is trying to push you aside. Most of all, be honest in your self-assessment!
  • Question
    Everyone hates me - there's this girl who is jealous of me going around telling everyone bad and wrong things about me. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    Some people are cruel like this, to use another person to boost their own lack of security. Be mentally strong about this and realize that some people will call her bluff and see her for who she really is, a gossip, a snitch and a liar. Help yourself by staying nice and refusing to be drawn into arguments or fights about it. Hang around with people you can trust, even if it's only one person for now. Concentrate on your studies so that you have an excuse to be busy during lunch and other breaks. Talk to a teacher or parent if you consider it's getting too much to cope with.
  • Question
    What can I do if some of my friends call me boring?
    Community Answer
    Sometimes people just won't be interested in the same things you are, and that's okay. Make sure you talk to people about THEIR interests, ask questions, and try to relate to them. If you already do this and your friends still call you boring a lot, you might want to find some new friends.

    Say hello first, then introduce yourself. Ask her what kind of things she likes, and whatever she says, turn it into a topic to talk about. For example, if she says she likes to play games, ask what kind of games, then go from there. Keep the conversation going. Most importantly, ask her if you can hang out sometime.

    How do I become a nicer person?
    Community Answer
    You can't become a nice person overnight; rather it is a slow progression. You need to know why you want to become a nice person. Is it because you want more friends, want to be liked, or just for yourself? Start noticing people, listen to their stories, and be ready to share yours. If you want to see positive things in this world, you need to know what you think is positive. If good food and sunshine make you happy, then look for these things and focus on them. Make a list of things that make you happy and embrace them. Your inner happiness will make you a nicer person automatically.

  • Question
    My confidence decreases when I am at school than when I am at home, what can I do?
    Community Answer
    This is a common issue for many a person. Home is a fortress, a known quantity, a place of unconditional acceptance. Much of the rest of the world isn't like that. However, you can build a pretend shield around you to deflect the less caring things that happen out there and to bring a little of your happier self with you out of the home space. Also, try making friends of the same age and school online, then meet up with them in real life when you feel certain about them.
  • Question
    What do I do if my siblings abuse me?
    Community Answer
    Tell them to stop and let them know how their behavior makes you feel. You also have to forgive them. If you care more about them learning to not hurt you, then you will find this easy. Last but not least, tell an older person such as a parent. Never retaliate if your siblings mistreat you: this will only make the situation worse.
  • Question
    My classmates make fun of me and my friend, saying we are like a couple. It really hurts me. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    If they're saying you two are a couple, that means you two must be close - which is great! Just focus on building up your friendship and ignore the people making fun of you. You have each other as friends, and it's much better to have one close friend than a bunch of friends who are not close to you at all.

  • Question
    What if no one ever notices me?
    Community Answer
    I used to feel this way. Don't try too hard. Just casually say hi to someone and introduce yourself. Most likely you feel like no one notices you because you're too shy to put yourself out there. Once you see that nothing bad happens the first time, you'll feel more comfortable approaching people. Take part in casual conversations, ask people for their opinions, make jokes, etc. Be social!

    Talk to him and try to become his friend. Maybe he just doesn't like you because he doesn't know you that well. If you get to know him and he still doesn't like you, then you'll just have to move on.
  • Question
    In one of your responses, it says to be friends with the kids who are more shy. I did and they are weird kids. They act as if they are two years old and are extremely creepy. What should I do?
    Ehunter
    Community Answer
    Kids who are shy aren't best for everyone. If you think friends who mainly listen to you are good for you, try finding other shy people. When someone is shy, it doesn't mean that he/she is acting like a two year old. Some shy people do, but not everyone.
