Girl Chat:Bullies

Hey guys, 

I'm going to be doing another Girl Chat today talking about bullies.Unfortunately most people get bullied somewhere in their life and it's not nice.It's hard to know what to do when you get bullied because you feel alone and isolated.If you are getting bullied at the moment I recommend you follow some of these steps to resolve the problem.

Things you feel when you get bullied:

.Upset

.Lonely 

.Angry 

.Confused 

.Tetchy 

.sad 

.annoyed 

What to do if you're getting bullied:

Tell someone:
This one is a must.I'm sure you've heard that if you tell someone it always gets better and it does.Whoever you tell can help you get through the problem and contact someone at the place where you're getting bullied. 

Stand up to them:
Hopefully if you stand up to them they'll get the message not to mess with you.Also be careful with the comments you make back to them because if you say some really hurtful,unforgivable comments it makes you just as bad. 

Ignore them:
You shouldn't ignore the bully if they keep on being hurtful but if it's a one off comment try to just ignore it.Hopefully they'll just get bored and leave you alone.I know it can be really hard to ignore someone but I think it's a good approach to take.You can always remove yourself from the situation. 

Stay in a big group of friends:
Try and stay in a big group of friends if you can as a bully is probably less likely to bother you in this situation.

Just remember... 
Usually the people who bully you are the people who are unhappy and have problems in their own life.This means that they're not bullying you because there's anything wrong with you but they're actually bullying you because they've got problems of their own.This is no excuse for their actions and you should still tell someone about it.  

So I hope you found my post interesting and helpful.Also if you are getting bullied at the moment please follow my advice and it will make it so much better I promise you. 

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

Girl Chat:How to cope with worries

Hey guys, 
Today I'm going to talk about worries and how to cope with them. Everyone has worries, some more than others.I'm actually a really big worrier so my Mum has given me tips on how to cope with worries and I've decided to share some of them with you.

Talk to someone about them:
I think this one is a must. Even if you think your worry is tiny and they won't understand they probably will.I actually feel better if I tell someone and I'm sure you will too.If you feel like you really can't tell your parents or someone in your family you can always turn to a friend or a website for advice. 

Find positives out of your worry:
When you worry about something it can be hard to think about the positives from your worry.But if you do you'll feel much better about your worry.For example the positives about moving up to high school are that I'll meet lots of new people,make new friends and I can try new sports. 

Put your worry into perspective:
This one is really good because when you're worried about something you can think that it's much worse than what it really is.Just think to yourself " how bad is this worry?" and put it on a scale of one to ten to see how bad it really is.

Take your mind off it:
When you're worried about something the best thing to do is just take your mind off it.Whether you go for a walk or watch TV do what ever makes you happy.Usually you feel much better,forget about the worry and it gives you a fresh perspective on the worry.Another thing that is good especially before bed (when the worry seems worse than ever) is to pretend to put it in a balloon and let go of it!.This usually allows you to forget all about the worry.

Don't look back: 
A piece of good advice is not to waste energy looking back at things that have already happened.You can't turn back time but what you can do is draw a line underneath the worry and focus on the present.Equally don't waste time worrying on the "what if's" in the future because it's a waste  of energy and it makes you feel unhappy. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful because I really did.If you have any other strategies forvg coping with worries I'd love to hear them in the comments below. 

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day. 

Girl Chat:How to be a great friend

Hey guys,
Today I was thinking of a post to do and I thought why don't I share with you some of my tips for being a good friend.Now sometimes it can be hard to be a good friend all the time but if you do have some good friends your life will be so much better I promise you. 

Stick up for them:
If you stick up for your friend they will feel so much better and more confident to face the bully. Also if you stick up for them they will probably stick up for you as well. 

Never leave their side:
Make sure you're not a friend who is around when it's a happy time and goes when it gets tough.This shows that you don't care that much for your friend.It can also make your friend feel like they have no one to rely on.

Give them compliments:
This one is really important.If your friend has done her hair a little bit different, just say "your hair looks really nice today".If you do,it will make them feel more confident and make you feel better too. 

Always say nice things behind their back:
I think this is quite a big problem nowadays because people say bad stuff behind peoples back. Personally I think this is the worst type of bullying because you don't always know if what they've been saying is true or not.If you are talking behind their back make sure you only say nice things not horrible stuff.

They're all my top tips of how to be a great friend. I hope you enjoyed this and found it useful.Also if you have any other tips for being a great friend leave them in the comments.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day. 

Girl Chat:High school worries

Hey guys, 
Today I'm going to be doing a Girl Chat:High school worries post.By the way high school is usually called either Middle school or secondary school and the age range is from 11 to 16.I'm actually making that huge leap from Primary/elementary school this summer and I'm not going to lie I'm scared.One part of me is so excited to move on but another part of me is freaking out.I'm sure most people have felt like me if they have already made the jump to High school.I'm sure everyone has been worried about going up to high school and I really have so I'm going to be sharing some common worries and sharing some of my advice. 

What if I get lost?
In my primary school there's not that many kids at all and when I go to high school there's going to be thousands of kids.Anyway my advice is if you get lost ask someone they're sure to help you find where ever your'e going.

I won't know anyone
Usually there will be a couple of people from your primary school but if there's not, just think everyone's in the same boat no one knows anybody. So if you don't know anyone start a conversation up and soon you'll have lots of keen friends.

What if I don't make friends?
I think everyone feels like this but you will make friends I promise you.I know I'm not in high school yet but I havehad advice from family and friends and they all say that you will make friends.There's sure to be someone who likes the same stuff as you do.Also just remember make sure you don't change for anyone to like you. 

I don't want to get detention!
If you do get detention it's not the end of the world but if you seriously don't want to get one just stick to the school rules and you won't!

I might miss the bus
It doesn't matter that much if you miss the school bus because usually your family will be around to give you a lift to the school but if they're not ask a friend or a neighbour to take you.

What if I don't do my home work in time 
My advice is to do your homework on the first day you get it, I'm going to really try to do that more.Anyway if there's a reason why you can't do the homework have a word with your teacher and he/ she will understand. 

will there be loads of tests? 
I actually worry about tests a lot and there might be a couple of tests when you start high school but they're really not that important.

What if the works too hard?
I actually worry about this at the start of each school year but my Mum says that the work will be set at your level because they can't just give you impossible work all of a sudden.

What if no one likes me?
I promise you people will like you if you just be your self, people will like you for that.

What if I'm late to class?
If you are late for class for any reason just tell the truth to your teacher and he/she should believe you and understand.But if you keep being late constantly your teacher might start getting a little annoyed.

I hope you enjoyed this post and if you have any other worries about high school leave them in the comments and I will try to answer them.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

Girl Chat:Moving away from your best friend

Hey guys,
This is my first Girl Chat on this page of my blog.I will be talking about moving away from your best friend.You may be able to relate to this if you feel like you might be moving away from your best friend.I did feel like this once.I had a really good friend but we began moving apart because we had different interests and I had a few other friends which I began hanging out with often.

Use these three helpful tips to try to repair your friendship:
1. Organise a get together with just her because you can talk and just spend time this tip really helped me out.

2.Talk to her about it.I'm sure you've all heard the saying honesty is the best policy and it really is.Just get her on her own and say that you think your'e not spending as much time together and just tell her the truth.Hopefully she'll make an effort to help the friendship out. 

3.Try and hangout with her.Even if she's doing an activity that you don't enjoy doing just make the effort to spend time with her which will make you remember how good friends you were.

So I hope you enjoyed this type of post and make sure to write in the comments what other subjects I should discuss.And If you feel like your'e moving away from one of your closer friends you should definitely try to repair the friendship because you will regret it if you don't.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.
