Memorial Day and then....... SUMMER!

Memorial Day is here!! (Almost. :) Raise your hand if you LOVE summer! (Almost everyone in the world will raise their hand). Summer is awesome. You get to go to the pool or beach, no school to weigh you down and stress you out, and no more homework! Summer is the time to fulfill your "Bucket List." And no, I don't mean what you want to do before you die. :) I mean what you want to do in your free time this summer. Making a Summer Bucket List is a great way to ensure you make the most out of your summer and aren't left with that "oh-what-a-waste-of-summer" feeling in the fall.

"Get A Life"

Bullies got you down in the dumps? Here are some comebacks that are simple, but effective:

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Go bother someone who cares."

"Have you ever heard of the country called, 'Get Out Of My Face?' You should visit it sometime."

"I would be mean(er), but it's 'Be nice to animals' week."

"So?"

"Whatever. Who needs you?"

"Who asked you?"

"Thank you for your not-so-smart advice. Bye bye, now."

These comebacks, of course, are no excuse to be mean to people. Just use them if needed. Don't overuse them, or you will be branded as a bully yourself. These comebacks have seriously changed my life-- but that might be because I used to be a big bully target. Not anymore though. Things have changed-- I have started being nicer to people, and in return, they are nicer, and as for the bullies, they know not to mess with me, because I always have something to say back.

Siblings?

Does anyone have a sibling? (Raises hand :) Do you get along fairly well with your sibling? If so, great job! If not, you aren't alone. Most siblings fight. Some once in a while, some every day. Some with words, some with fists. My sister and my brother and I have the worst fights ever. They are both younger than me. The fights between my brother and me aren't nearly as bad as the fights between my sister and me. We fight over just about everything: from clothes, to who went into the other one's room without permission, to whether or not we should buy something. It's insane. And it happens at least once a day. And I'm not talking about snippy verbal arguments. We punch, hit, kick, slap, push; you name it. In the previous years, she has broken my finger, given me a black eye, and given me a deep cut down my leg, and I have pulled a muscle in her back, given her a bloody nose, and chipped her front tooth (on accident, but still during a fight). I can't say I'm exactly proud of it. But she annoys me so much!

Here are the top things that siblings have to say about each other:

1. My brother/sister gets all the attention.
2. Whatever my brother/sister does, it's always my fault, I always get blamed.
3. My brother/sister are favored by my parents.
4. They (brother/sister) bug me constantly.
5. They invade my privacy and personal space, and
6. They take stuff from me.

Been there, done that, right? So here is the time to vent about your sibling, right on this blog, in the comments. No names PLEASE, but tell me what you think about them. I know that probably no one will comment, considering that i haven't gotten many comments since March (I think), but I thought I would put it out there for those who have time.

All best,
