~ I Hear You~

Hey, and welcome to the FIRST 'I Hear You' advice section EVER! This is the place where YOUR questions are answered. So, here are your questions...

Hey Emily,

I have to share my room with my sister and we fight sometimes. Any advice to separate the room just a little so i can have my privacy?

Angel


Hey Angel,

I totally know how you feel. Except for this last two-and-a-half years, I've shared a room all my life. Have you considered a room separater-thing, like the one below? Like, you could but a really cool, colourful one, or paint/decorate one yourself -- you could each paint your own side, and it could be an extra feature to the bedroom!

Hi Emily,
I love my daughter very much and do not want her to be involved in too many different parts of the internet like having her own facebook account because I fear for her safety. What should I do? How should I speak to her about it so she will understand. She is very responsible and I trust her but its like if you’re a motorcyclist you will be in danger not because the motorcyclist is a bad rider but because there are other bad drivers out there who might cause the motorcyclist to have an accident.
Please help me...


Hey,
Facebook can be a lot of fun, although your right -- it can also be very dangerous -- just like anything else in the world. If she doesn't already, I'd reccommend letting her start up a blog. Blogs are fun, interactive, creative and are a great way to record thoughts and times.

Hey Emily,

I have been totally bored lately and need some ideas on what to do. Could you help me please? -Chelsea

Hey Chelsea,

Trust me, I'm bored a lot, so I know how you feel. Sometimes, we just get tired of doing the same thing. Something that's a lot of fun, and if you get permission, to do it, is to play Master Chef. It's a TV show, btw. Here's what to do...

Find a friend/siblings -- it's much more fun than by yourself!

Get permission from your parents/guardians (or you can do that first)

Find three judges (Well, you can choose how many judges.)

The judges will give you a main ingrediant, and give you a time limit.

Now. You can use whatever you want in the dish, so long as it includes the main ingredient.

Cook, Cook, Cook!

When time is up, you must stop cooking! Remember, presentation is important.

Deliver your dishes one at a time to the judges. If you want, make it anonymous -- have

someone else take in both the dishes (one at a time).

You can change the rules however you want, the main thing is -- Have FUN!

Hey Emily

I want to honor my parents, but chores are kind of a bore. And I complain a lot. Is there a way to make chores more enjoyable, or at least a way to give me motivation?

Anonymous

Hey Anonymous,

I hear you. I hate chores, and I always complain. Sit down with your parents, and make a deal with them --

"Mum, Dad -- I want to honour you, but I really don't like doing my chores. I mean, it's just not fun! I know, I know -- 'chores aren't supposed to be fun, you're supposed to work hard'. But what do you think about this -- every month, if I do all my chores, without complaining, I get something. Not something expensive, like an iPod. Just something small, like a book. Or some bracelets or something."

Good Luck!
