Hey! I'm Caitlin and in a few days I'll be a freshman in high school. I love giving advice and I feel that I am good at it. I've been through a lot of stuff, divorce, moving, having my best friend move, a family member with cancer, and love (including being cheated on). So please don't hesitate to ask. I mean sitting there staring at the computer screen isn't going to do anything now is it?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell her without hurting her feelings. Please my b-day party is coming up and shes coming, i dont want to afend my other friends. Please, I really need some help. (link)

You could say something like:
crap! I forgot to put on my deoderant/anti-persperant this morning. I don't wanna smell like B.O. Do you have any?
I hope this helps leave one in my inbox,
Caitlin

I use to hate this girl at my school, i never said anything to her hurtful its just that she acts stuck-up but the problem is that my friend is friends with her and i cant stand being around her, I dont wanna tell my friend because i am scared she will stand up for the girl and stop talking to me.

You have to tell your friend. As a friend she should understand and stuff. If she is a true friend she'll say I understand so when us two are hanging out you don't have to come. If she freaks out and doesnt talk to you its not bad either. She isn't a true friend and its better to lose her now then her leaving you when your boyfriend of 3 years for example is caught cheating on you.

Dear Friendless Freshman,
Woah friendless? That's not true at all. Remember way back in elementry school when you're best friend was in Mrs. Smith's class and you were in Mrs. Rodgers? Did you still talk to them even though the only time you saw them was at recess? Well you don't have recess but you do have other things to do. Not going to school with your friends is almost like being on summer vacation. You're not obligated to see eachother every day. But don't you hang out anyway? You can meet somewhere and have a pop or something, study together (everyone has to learn geometry sometimes don't they) or just talk to them on the phone. You might not see them as often but that makes the time you spend together even more special.
