School’s out for the summer, which is amazing. BUT, summer also means the arrival of CRAZY MAXWELL COUSINS!!! In the madness of final exams and year-end parties, somehow I forgot!! Every summer my Aunt Janet takes a road trip with her FIVE KIDS up and down the east coast. They live in Florida, so by […] Read more
My Friends Think I’m Too Loud And Crazy!
Hey Brandon, What do you do if you’re too loud? Sometimes I’m super-noisy and people tell me I’m annoying! My craziness seems to get on peoples’ nerves, and they don’t want to be around me. I’d really like to change, but I have no idea how to do it. I need advice! Wacky, Wild & […] Read more
I’M THE ONLY TOMBOY I KNOW!!!
Hey, Nikki! I’m the only tomboy I know. I wear boys’ sports clothes, have boyish habits, and REALLY enjoy sports. And while I love my friends, none of them can really relate to that. Most of the girls are girly-girls, and the other ones are either not interested in athletics or are so loud and […] Read more
BRIANNA IS MY HERO! (OR SHE JUST MADE MY LIFE A LOT WORSE!!)
I’M SO CONFUSED!!! I can’t decide if I need to change my name and move away, or if I have the BEST little sister in the world!! There was this big end-of-school year party in the park tonight. There were going to be bonfires, a DJ, and BRANDON was going to be there. So, of […] Read more
I HAVE A CRUSH ON MY GOOD FRIEND!!!
Hi Brandon! I have a good friend who is like my brother. But then I started having weird dreams about him. And okay, I’ll admit it, I’m starting to think of him as more than a brother. Lately, I’ve been thinking about him a lot. Also, this weird thing is happening to me. Whenever someone […] Read more
I’M AFRAID TO DIVE!!!
Hi Nikki! This summer, I’ve started doing diving lessons and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. But, there is one problem. Every time the coach tells me to do a flip or back dive, I get really scared and want to chicken out. How do I do the scary dives with confidence? Thanks! Scaredy-Cat Hi […] Read more
I WORRY ALL THE TIME!!!
Hi Brandon! I doubt myself all the time. I doubt that I studied enough for the science test. I doubt whether or not my friends are true friends. I feel like I might let someone down. My school talent show is in a couple of days and my friends and I are dancing, but I […] Read more
WE HAVE TO DO PARTNER DANCING IN GYM!!!!!
Dear Nikki, I’m in fifth grade and all the fifth grade classes are required to do dance. Problem is, last week our dance teacher said that we’d be partnered up boy-girl on Monday. But then someone said that the GUYS get to pick their partners. I don’t know if this rumor is true, but I’m […] Read more
MOM’S SUMMER PLANS!!
My Mom is driving me CRAZYYYY!!! I’m sure glad I can get that out here, because otherwise my brain would explode. But that sounds painful. Also messy. Mom has realized it’s almost summer and has begun a TOTAL freak-out. I feel like this is new, but maybe she does it every year and I’ve blocked […] Read more
I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!
Dear Nikki, I’ve tried EVERYTHING to lose weight, but I just can’t. My sisters can eat 50 hamburgers and still be skinny. I think the reason why I’m not making friends at my new school is because I’m big and awkward. I just want to give up. Every time I go to the doctor, it’s […] Read more
