My friend keeps copying my look, but I like looking special.

What should I do? –Ann

The important thing is to tell your friend the truth without hurting her feelings. To do that, you can talk to her using kind words and not feeling angry. You can offer her your advice on popular dressing or even suggest wearing clothes that go together. This way you’ll still look like each other, but not twins!

My room is always messy.

No matter what I do, I can’t keep it clean! —Mike

Here are some great ways to make your room a bit tidier. Start by picking up things you don’t use or want anymore. You can give them away to those in need. Fewer things mean less mess! Then, try to make it a habit to put away things after you use them. Done with your sports shoes for the day? Back where they should be. Finally, set a timer for five minutes each night to clean any mess!

I’m sad because I have to go to a summer camp.

I just want to have a summer like my friends. Help me out!— Jessie

We’re sorry you’re feeling this way! The best thing to do is to look at things on the bright side. There, a new group of kids will become your friends. They’ll know exactly how you feel and help you. What’s more, going to a summer camp doesn’t mean an abysmal summer. You’ll still have fun in the sun with your friends. The only question is, what are you guys going to do together?
