Facing Rejection!

Dear Jenny,

 

I really really like this boy, but I don’t know how to tell him. I see him a few times a month, but I don’t really talk to him. I’ve told my friends and family, but I’m just too scared to tell him… I just don’t want to get rejected.

 

Dear Anonymous,

 

It’s not always easy to start conversations with boys; in fact, it can be weird and awkward.  The first thing you need to know is that you don’t need to act like anyone other than yourself!  Gather up your courage, relax and talk to him like you would to a friend. It may sound scary at first, but it can be surprisingly easy to introduce yourself. Before smothering your crush with flirty smiles and love declarations, get to know him with each new conversation. It might a little less intimidating if you start by being friendly.

Of course, it is possible that he just isn’t crushing on you, and that’s okay. You were brave for trying. Rejection can hurt, but it’s impossible to avoid in life! Rejection doesn’t mean you’re not awesome or important, it just means that things didn’t work out in that situation. On the bright side, it could be the start of a great friendship!

And you never know… maybe this whole time, he’s been waiting to talk to you too!

Good luck!

Entering High School!

Dear Jenny,

I’m feeling pretty nervous about high school. All of my friends have older siblings that get really hard homework and say that high school life is very hard. I don’t know if it’s true or not and I’m starting to really stress out… What should I do?

Dear Future High Schooler,

Lots of freshmen are feeling the same way you are. Being on your own can be totally freak-out-worthy! But remember that ALL freshmen are starting out in a new place. With that in mind, take a deep breath and relax. Most high schools hold an orientation day before school actually starts. It’s a good way to meet your teachers and learn your way around your new school.

Try not to be intimidated by your new surroundings, and don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you don’t understand your homework assignment or can’t find your way to math class,  you can always ask around. Believe or not, lots of people are willing to help and it’s a great way to meet new people and make new friends!

Give yourself time to adjust and in a near future, you’ll be looking back and laughing about it how big high school seemed!

Good Luck!

Summer Plans!

 

Dear Jenny,

 

Every summer, I plan on it being the best summer ever! But then my mom has trouble getting me off the couch because there’s nothing I really want to do. So, here’s my question: How do I come up with things that I’ll want to do?

 

Dear anonymous,

 

If you don’t have any plans, things can sometimes get… a little boring. It’s easy to say, “I have nothing to do!” Summertime gives you the free time to do your favorite activities or pick up something new. There are so many ways to beat boredom that don’t always involve spending money!

 

Treat yourself this year and try out some of these fun ideas:

 

-  Work on your favorite hobbies. Summer is a great time to improve your skills!

-  Try new sports. Summer is the best time to sign up for a team; you might even make new friends!

- Hanging out at the beach, the park or camping with a group of friends is always fun. You don’t have to go far,  you can pitch a tent on the lawn and watch the stars!

- Now that school is out and finals are over, you can  kickback and relax by reading a new book or even starting a whole series. Let your imagination soar!

- Movies and games can be a great way to spend those rainy summer days or coolish nights!

- Getting involved with your community or doing charity work is a great way to help while having fun.

 

If your favorite band is stopping by or you just can’t wait to get your tickets for the next Hunger Games movie, you’ll definitely need a little money over the summer. Babysitting, dog-walking and recycling bottles are good ways to fill up that piggy bank!

 

I hope you have a fun-filled summer!

Overcoming shyness

Dear Jenny,

 

I am always alone. I want to fit in and have friends but, every time I try to talk to someone… my voice can never reach them. I really want to be friends with them but I can’t gather up courage to talk. It’s like no one can hear my voice.

 

Dear Anonymous,

 

Shyness is hard to overcome; it’s best to work in small steps towards finding your voice. It’s fine to take your own time to warm up to new people, and you certainly don’t have to change who you are!

Focus less on your anxieties and more on the people surrounding you; try small talk or questions about others as a first step. You can even practice your introduction in front of the mirror before approaching new friends. Even if it  doesn’t come out exactly as you planned or rehearsed,  you’ll find it rewarding to just give it a try!

Dare yourself to be noticed, be assertive, speak up, and don’t forget to smile! Being the real you with a ”look out world, here I am,” attitude will encourage new friendships. Each time you reach out, it becomes easier and easier! You’ll be a social butterfly in no time.

And if you see me in Woozworld, feel free to use me as practice for introducing yourself. Good luck!

 

Jenny

Battling Nerves

Dear Jenny,
What do you do when your nervous? I have this really big test coming up, and I’m super nervous. This could define my grade! I have been trying to get it off my mind, yet I somehow always end up thinking about it! What should I do?

 

Dear anonymous,
I know it can be overwhelming to face exams, especially this time of year.  It’s okay to have a certain amount of stress; it can help to motivate you. Always keep in mind that it’s up to you to decide what you can or can’t handle! Try not to focus on failure with upcoming exams, instead find ways to cut down on stress. There are many ways you can free your mind of uncertainty!

You can start by making a list of your favorite activities, tape it to your wall and when you realize that you’re getting way too nervous, stop and pick one thing off the list, and do it! Try to free your mind from all your worries and have fun! Eating well, exercising, and a great night’s sleep are excellent ways to keep focus. Sometimes just reading a book or chatting with your bestie can help you unwind and sleep better.

The most important thing is to stay calm and be confident.

Good luck!

Big Woozen Diary by Jenny

I miss Mya! You Woozens are so lucky to have my best friend in the “outside” Woozworld. She’s a blast and it’s difficult not having her here. I guess it’s the lucky of the draw though  .

I was even more surprised to learn that Zeena got chosen and joined us this year again. When Zeena first came in, she was really getting on everyone’s nerves. She would always make mean comments towards us and say how much better she was. With knowning Mya wasn’t there, I went into a private room and tried to relax.

After this though… it’s been a weird few days… Zeena showed herself a very good friend, especially when she realized how much I missed my bestie. She is being really good company for me, as Max and Jay keep talking about games and sports all the time. She showed a side that I never thought she had and I think I actually like this new Zeena! I have to admit that things are easier with her presence here, even if I still miss Mya.

The Woozens canadianz and x-DylanGoesRawrx are also very sweet, but we are still getting to know each other. X)

Mya, if you are reading… I miss you girl! Take care of Woozworld for us!

XD

Jenny
