sunkistsarah's advice column

I'm Sarah, i'm 16. I'm a typical 16 year old girl. I'm a junior in high school. The thing thats gets on peoples nerves most about me is that i'm too sarcastic. But I can be serious...sometimes. I just got a car that I love but its already very messy...like me. I am not clean, or organized...sometimes I don't even know what the term means.

I just got a job and was late on my 3rd day. I am late to almost everything. As you can see I am far from perfect, but I accecpt myself as me. I'm not perfect in school, actually I am going to summer school this summer, but to me, it's not that big of a deal. Things don't phase me like they do other people...

I am a little spoiled. My dad lets me keep his credit card and gives me money on it that he doesn't even have. My mom gives me her debit card way to often and usually is to ditzy to notice what I do on it. I love my parents. My grandmother is pretty rich and gives me money to come visit her...and sent me money to buy stuff for work...she sent me way more than I needed and I love her very much too! =)

I lost my grandpa 2 years ago and i miss him to this day. He was one of those people that you can't forget and no matter how much pain it causes you to think of them, you never even want to forget them, becuase you feel somewhat empty. He was one of the greatest people to me and I love him and miss him very much and cant wait until we meet up again.

When i'm am not working or not in school...i sleep as late as possible and stay in my pj's all day. I am not one of those people that gets dress to sit at home. I will go out in my pjs if i have to. To me, what people think about me is not as important as what I think about myself.

Some of my favorite things:
tv, movies, summer, not having school, beach, vacations anywhere, music (country and alternative rock), my mom (she is hilarious and i couldnt live without her...shes one of my best friends), my job (i love making money), my car, my fanily.

I am very typical but unique in my own way. I can sing very good, by myself in my car or in the shower...thats it! When i get bored I love to color...but i am really 16...not 10.

I have been through so much...my parents were divorced when i was 2 and i lived with my mom...she has had many boyfriends, and we have lived with a few...she has been engaged and married once before. That was really hard on me, harder than she or anyone thinks.
1. i had to leave all my friends and move an hour away to somewhere i had never lived before and move in with people I bearly knew.
2. i am an only child and the man she married had 2 kids. peroid.
Dont get me wrong, I loved his kids but when you are an only child for 15 years then get mixed with a 13 year old boy and a 9 year old girl that are used to getting everything they want and never doing anything....cant be good.
Me and his daughter got really close and as much as I dont like to admit it, it really hurt me when we couldn't be step sisters anymore. and her brother, he and I were alike in some ways and not in others, he was very carcastic like me which isnt always a good thing but sometimes is. We got along but i was shy and he was a little to. But we had just gotten used to each other when my mom told me they were getting a divorce...i wasn't suprised.

There are many other things about me that I am not going to bore you with because I want you to get to the end without falling asleep...if you have even gotten this far...

Now if you have read this far already which i really dont think you have...then you can ask me a question. I like giving advice...it makes me feel wise, and people tell me i am not to bad at it...so go ahead...its its stupid...you will feel the warth of my sarcasim....but its serious...then i will be as serious as my sarcasim permits....so just find out.

I have sung since I was about 6 or 7 years old. I have never been too bad at it but I have always lacked in confidence. I can sing fine on my own when no one is around to hear me, but when it comes to singing in front of people, I can't. My friend and I have to sing a verse from a song together for a christmas concert. My friend always has a sore throat so she is generally out of tune and she tends to start laughing. I then have to stop singing because I am too nervous to sing alone. How can I over come this fear of singing in front of people, so that if my friend laughs in the concert, I can just carry on?

start by singing in front of your parents then some close friends then your whole family then more friends, and slowly you will feel more confident to sing in front of a lot of people....good luck and i hope this helps some!
