My Parents Won’t Stop Comparing Me to My Sister!!!
Hi Nikki! My younger sister and I play three instruments each. We both play the piano and the violin, and then I learn the harp, while she learns the cello. The problem is, my parents and our violin teacher constantly compare my violin-playing skills to my sister’s and say she plays much better than I […] Read more
I’M DEVELOPING TOO EARLY!!!
Today’s letter comes from Kacey, who writes… Nikki, I really need your help!!! I am 11 years old, and I already need a bra (which always itches). Barely anyone else even wears a bra. I also have hair under my armpits and on my legs. I’m pretty sure my period is coming soon. Everybody always […] 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
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
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
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
DO I WRITE IN MY DIARY TOO MUCH???
Today’s post comes from Andrea, who writes: Hi Nikki, I don’t have very many friends, which is okay with me. I homeschool, and I don’t want to go back to school. My emotional support and BFF is my diary! I constantly write in it and sometimes when I do, my parents say, “You already did […] Read more
FITNESS TEST FREAK-OUT!!
Dear Nikki, At school we have to do the Presidential Fitness Test. Today, we did sit-ups and tomorrow we will be doing push-ups!!!! I’m pretty sure that I FAILED today’s sit-up test since I did ZERO! Fortunately, my P.E teacher is letting me retake the test, but I’m kind of embarrassed, considering that I am the only […] Read more
My Crush Hates Braces…and I’m About to Get Them!!!
Hi Nikki. I need advice! My parents said I would be getting braces because I have really bad teeth. I’m really scared and started crying when I got home. The only reason why I am afraid to get braces is because I overheard my crush talking about how he hates his little sister’s braces. What […] Read more
I HAVE TO SHARE A ROOM WITH TWO ANNOYING SISTERS!!!
Dear Nikki, I’m totally freaking out right now! I recently moved to a new house in the neighborhood, and I just found out that I have to share a room with not one, but TWO sisters! Rosalyn and I get along really well. We like pretty much the same things, and we don’t argue a […] Read more
