about

So, I'm a sixteen year old girl, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I LOVE giving out advice. All my friends come to me for advice because:
-I tell them the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
-I don't sugarcoat things. If your relationship is doomed, I'll tell you. I won't say "just talk to him" or stuff like that.
-I don't judge. Well, I do judge a little bit, but who doesn't. But, you can tell me you just had sex with 309573458346934584357 different people, and I'll still love you none the less.
-I'm just a normal person, and I probably go through the same everyday crap that the rest of you go through.
So yeah, feel free to drop me a line. As far as I know, I've never screwed someone over with my advice!

(17, f)This summer I am going to babysit my ten-year-old cousin, because she doesn't want to go to the local daycare. She lives far away, not so far away that I can't do the job, but far away enough that I only usually see her twice a year. My problem is that I can't stop thinking of her as a little kid. That's just how it is my mind, for some reason. I want to treat her like she's more mature, but still somebody I am responsible for. How would I do that?

When you talk to her, talk to her as if she's one of your friends (but don't swear or talk about "innapropriate things" that you would normally talk about. Figure out what she's like, and ten year old girls are generally a bit more mature than ten year old boys, so she shouldn't be too much trouble. She probably just wants someone to layback and watch some tv and movies with. You probably won't get the vision of her as a little kid out of your head until you start babysitting her and realize that she isn't a little one.

(Rating: 5) That's probably true. She is so small and cute though! I'm sure I'll get the hang of it after a little while.
