One of my best friends had a birthday party. She invited all my friends, but not me! What can I do? Sophie We're so sorry to hear that this happened. It might be a good idea to talk to your friend about it. Explain that you care about her friendship, and you want to make sure there hasn't been a misunderstanding between the two of you. Open, honest talk with your friend will help you get past these hurt feelings. Dr. Known |
I'm not doing a lot of exercise because I like video games too much. How do I stop? Lucas You might try allowing yourself video-game time only after you've done some exercise. Think of video games as a treat for exercising. You could ride a bike, go for a walk, play ball with friends, do jumping jacks-the list is endless! Decide what you like to do and make it part of your everyday activities. Dr. Known |
I've been getting so much homework that I almost have no time to play. What should I do? Destiny To give yourself the most time to play, it's important to use your time properly. If you're given time to do your homework during school hours, try your best to finish as much as you can. Then, as soon as you get home from school, start the rest of your homework. Perhaps you can break it up into two parts. In between, give yourself a 30-minute break to play. If you concentrate hard, you might be surprised at how quickly you can finish your work. Dr. Known |
