Awesome Advice from Parker!

Hello!

I want to share some tips on friendship. When it comes down to it, friendship is a difficult matter.

Over the past week, I have not spoken to my best friend, Xavier (that’s not his real name, FYI). He made fun of me in front of a lot of people, after I took him on a skiing trip. He called me “ugly”. So, I went over to him and said, “ I don’t like the way you are treating me. Why, why did you do it?” At first he didn’t answer, but then he tried to apologize. I didn’t listen because I was so mad. He finally sent me an email that was really sincere, but I deleted it. My parents found it though, and talked to me about friendship.

It was a very long talk that ended with me in tears. My parents talked about how people screw up sometimes and how everyone makes mistakes in life. They said that if you have friends you can trust and truly feel like the friendship is worth it, then you should forgive them. Or if you feel that the friendship isn’t worth the trouble and you can’t trust that person, then maybe you shouldn’t be friends with them anymore.

That made me think. I finally decided that his friendship was important to me. I called him and said that I accepted his apology. He sounded overjoyed! Hopefully you can find those tips helpful in your life too!

Now, I want to talk about SPRING FASHION! First off, let’s start with balancing it out, aka warm weather outfits and cold weather outfits. To start, I like to wear a skirt or pair of shorts with cute knee-high socks! This way, if you are a bit chilly, you have the knee-socks on your legs or if you get a bit warm, you can simply take the knee-socks off!

For the top, it is really simple, just wear a cute-tee and a cardigan. Ta-da! Sometimes, I throw a little scarf or belt in there too. Another thing you can do is skinny jeans and open flats. To start off with the day, you might want to keep those pant legs down, but my 6th period, you probably want them cuffed.
