I’m Freaking Out!!!
Hi Nikki, I’m claustrophobic, which means I’m afraid of small, enclosed spaces like inside a closet. So, obviously I HATE the tube slides at school. But this year the new thing at recess is this game called, “Clog The Slide.” It’s when someone goes to the bottom of the slide and clogs it. Then people […] Read more
WHY DOES MY BFF GET MORE LIKES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?!?!
Dear Nikki, I’m a pretty good artist and so is my best friend. But, we both upload our art on social media and she’s more popular than I am. She gets more likes and comments on her art than I do. I know I should be happy for her, but I just can’t stop from […] Read more

I DON’T WANT MORE FRIENDS!!!
Hey Nikki, I’m an introvert—I really like spending time alone doing my thing. I don’t have a BFF, but I’m not an outcast. I’m not lonely at all.

MY SIBLNG EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS!!
OMG Nikki, I don’t know what to do! My mom picked me up from school, and then my little brother embarrassed me in front of all of my friends when he yelled, “YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS STINK!” The worst part is they actually found out that he’s my brother. I’m SO embarrassed that I NEVER […] Read more
