Hi, I'm Lorelei. I live with my mother, my older sister and my grandmother.
I travel a lot but I'm never a tourist. ;) My mother owns property all over the country and I'm extremely lucky to feel at home in so many different places. It's a lot of fun and I get to see a lot of things and meet a lot of people.
Shopping always seems to be better away from home too.
I'm very fashion-minded and stylish, spontaneous and energetic, dorky and giggly. I enjoy having a good time. Almost too much. I party every chance I get. I do drink but I do so responsibly and you should too.
I'm very young but the year 2003 caused me to learn more about who I am than some people get to learn about themselves in an entire lifetime. Ever since I've made it a point to share what I've learned with everyone possible. Ask and I'll do my best to answer.
Whether or not you found my advice useful, a rating is appreciated, good or bad. Let me know how I can improve.
Okay, first let me say I'm going to be 17 in a week.
I've been friends with this one girl for the majority of both our lives. We used to go trick or treating every year, and she's going to want to go again this year, whereas I feel I'm too old, and I don't want to go. I know I need to tell her I don't want to go and not just make excuses, but something in me doesn't think she'll understand that I just don't want to walk around in a costume, yelling "TRICK OR TREAT" for candy.
I mean, I LOVE sugar. Seriously, I do - but I'm sick of trick or treating. How do I tell her I don't want to do this without hurting her feelings? 'Cause I know it's gonna bother her. Our friendship is sort of dwindling...sucks, but true. She's 17 too, by the way. Thanks in advance for the help.
You could try suggesting a party rather than trick-or-treating? She sounds like a good friend and I'm sure she'll understand and want to compromise. Or if she wants to really go, maybe you could go along with her for a while and then switch it up and head to a costume party or something.
Another idea would be to just head off to the store, buy tons of candy (it's SO cheap this time of year) and pig out in front of a good movie. You could put on a CD you both like afterwards and work off the sugar!
The gist of what I'm saying is - try to compromise but make it evident that you feel like you're growing out of trick-or-treating. Be honest with her. She'll understand.
