Hey Josh

Hey Josh, How do I deal with a mean girl?

Hey Josh,

I’ve got a problem. And my problem’s got a name. It’s Emily.

For some reason, Emily has decided to make my life a misery. She insults me to my face, tells my friends I talk about them behind their backs, tells people lies about me, and tons of other fun stuff.

Well, recently, I realized I really liked my best friend (which was awkward at first…). Emily found out and went around telling everyone that he was disgusted and freaked out.

What do I do about this girl? I’ve tried telling her to leave me alone. I’ve tried pretending she isn’t there. But this chick is out to get me for some wacky reason

Ahh! I’m going to pull my hair out!!!  She’s driving me loony. Help!

Hey Josh, I’m Being Called a Freak

So, ummmm….Hey Josh?

I don’t really know who you are and what you stand for, but I looked at some of your advice and it looks pretty solid so now I have a pretty big question for you.

This girl at my school really loves herself and hates me for some reason. I’ve never done anything to her (at least not intentionally) but she calls me a freak. She doesn’t call it to my face  but she tells my friends, her friends, and anyone else she knows not to hang out with me because I’m a freak. We don’t run into the same social circles and I barely talk to her, but she constantly refers to me as a “goody two-shoes” and says I rig all of the school events. I’m sick of it. I love myself as a person but it still gets old and I don’t want total strangers to think the things she says are true.

The Secret’s Out!

The surprise summer hit, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, returned last night for a new season and a shocking wedding! If you didn’t see it, don’t freak out. You can watch full episodes here.

The show, about wholesome 15-year-old Amy Juergens who makes a major mistake one night at band camp and ends up majorly pregnant, presents a somewhat realistic view on teen pregnancy. The acting, however, is not-so realistic and the writing is just plain cheesy. The show does have its charms though like sarcastic little sister, Ashley (played by India Eisley), who has a brilliant, dry remark for every situation or Daren Kagasoff who makes arrogant bad boy (and Amy’s baby daddy) Ricky come across as vulnerable and endearing.

Girl Gamers are on the Move

Attention all chicas with a joystick, all femme Wii aficionados and X-Boxin’ babes: you are not alone!

You may have felt alone with all the ads targeting guys in the gaming world. And why wouldn’t you? Up until now, game marketing gurus have written you off, opting for the shooting-racing-sporting-blood-and-guts fest games because they thought that only boys like to have some fun gaming. Sure, some girls might like to get in on the action/adventure/gorefest train, but not many.  Or so they thought!
