Hello. I am a CBer not revealing his/her name. My CB name is not Anonymouse. I know there is a CBer called Anonymous, so I added an e to be AnonyMOUSE. This is an advice thread. Want to complain? Rant? Ask advice about a problem in your life? Here is the place. Anyone can post a problem of theirs, and anyone can offer advice. I suggest you all use an alias name for this, though it is not required. Do not try to guess who others are. This is private. I will be Anonymouse.
Example:
CBer 1: My brother is violent. He punches me a lot. I'm scared of him. What should I do?
CBer 2: You should tell your parents or a counselor. They can help you.
CBer 3: I agree with CBer 2. You might also want to tell him how you feel.
Try to make the advice sympathetic and specific. Remember, you are writing to help somebody, not to make it interesting to read.
Some Suggestions for Aliases:
-Me
-Pretender
-Person With A Problem
-A Friend
-Puppy
Here we go!

Geek,
I think my first approach to the issue would be to go directly to your "friend" and tell her that what she's doing isn't very nice and that it hurts both you and your sister's feelings. If this doesn't work, go to an adult, like your parents or other trusted adult and let them know what's going on; they will most likely have some advise for you on how to deal with the situation.
Best wishes,
Anony-Musing

Okay y'all this is the turn out. So she was being mean to me because I was sticking my tounge out at her . . . Which, I use that when I tease people GOOD-NATUREDLY so . . . THANKS A LOT DAD. *sigh*

I hope everything turns out ok!
And for the record, I stick my tongue out at people good naturedly too.

I would recommend that the next time she tries to pick on you or your sister, confront her. Ask her why she is bullying you. If she's being mean, tell her strongly to stop; if it continues, then talk to someone like the principal, or the Gymnastics coach. Someone in charge. I know that's hard to do, but you can do it. Anyone that's teasing you isn't a very good friend. There are many other people that deserve your kindness and friendship more than people like that.

Thanks guys. Insulting her in elvish wasn't working.

This is gonna sound really weird. So, sometimes when an adult gets upset or frustrated at someone (usually not me!) I get really stressed and freaked out. I know that I'm just an overly anxious person from other things that have happened to me, but I really hate it when this happens. Help?

Hey, Aeesh I do this too a little (not overly much though) so what I do is, I go away from the room, and try to take my mind off of it. I usally read, listen to music, or do Cricket.
(December 4, 2015 - 2:41 pm)
That happens to me too.
(December 4, 2015 - 3:00 pm)
Me, too. I just try to block it out.
(December 5, 2015 - 8:34 am)
Yes! This happens to me too, and it's horrible. A teacher tells the class to be quiet, and I feel like I'm going to cry. Advice?

Dear a girl,
The most important part in staying calm is staying focused. Just stop and think for a moment. I'm gonna use your example. Were you talking when the teacher told the class to stop? If no, then it wasn't your fault and you have nothing to worry about. If yes, the teacher won't know every single student who was talking. And just because you were talking a few times doesn't make you a bad student. Plus, teachers say things like that every day, they're probably not gonna punish the class this one time. So the next time you get worried, just think of the circumstances.

I usually kinda keep a calm face thru the ting, and talk as little as possible and just nod my head to avoid further conflict, then go cry to depressing music. But that's probably not the best solution. I mean, it's good to cry and let things out, and it's an ok short-term stress reliever, but I don't think it's the solution to your problem. Also I don't know much about them but i see people talking about-- maybe you're haing anxiety attacks or panic attacks? You can google the signs of a panic attack and of anxiety attacks I guess.

I am facing bratty popular girls at school! What do I do?
(December 5, 2015 - 6:02 pm)
Ignore them! Who needs jerks like them? Who cares about their input? Say something weird next time they bother you, just for the sake of being a nutjob. Like:
Bratty popular girl: You are a horrible person (I'm not good at writing shallow, two dimensional insults).
You: Thank you for your input. Now please go away.
Bratty popular girl: I'm not going to listen to a loser like you!
You: *completely calmly* Well, do as you like. But "a loser like me" is going to bring about the end days soon, so it doesn't really matter.
In my experience, I just don't care about what people say. What matters is what decent people, like the people you know are your friends, or more importantly YOU think about yourself!
Thought process:
1. Do those people matter to me? Do they care about me? (Yes/No)
YES:
Try to figure out what they are saying. Talk it out with them, and try to mend relations.
NO:
Shake it off and be a nutjob, because being crazy is what makes life worth living.

Are they bullying you? Please clarify.
