Ask GiGi


GiGi, What do I do when my boyfriend ignores me everyday?

Honestly, I think the best thing you can do in this situation is to be brave and do one simple thing. Just ask him. Go up and ask him what's going on. When you ask, don't act like a brat. You don't always know what's going on in his life, so don't just assume he doesn't like you anymore. When you ask him, make sure that you act maturely. If he tells you something that maybe you didn't want to hear, don't explode. Act your age. No matter what happens, don't let it get you down.

GiGi, Help! My best friend and my brother absolutely hate each other. What do I do?

Well, do you know why your brother hates him? If not, that's the perfect place to start. You should also ask your friend why they hate your brother. Once you've figured that out, you can try to figure out how to deal with the situation. What you might want to do is get them together and talk to them about how you feel.
Make sure that they know that you're in charge of the conversation. Depending on their reasons, you may need to approach the conversation in different ways. What I think they need to know in the end is that they need to stop fighting. Make it clear that that doesn't necessarily mean that they have to like each other. They just need to be civil. I hope you get everything worked out.

Dear GiGi, I really like this guy, but he's one of my best friends. I want to tell him, but I don't want things to be awkward. What would be the best thing to do? 



Unfortunately, this isn't a TV show. You could tell him, he would say that he liked you too, and you would end up together. Everyone's happy, and everything's wrapped up in a bow in 30 minutes or less. Unfortunately life isn't a TV show. The only advice I could give to you right now, since I don't know much about this, is to follow your heart. I know you've probably heard this a million times before, but that's all you can really do. If things don't work out the way you want, if he's worth keeping, you two will stay friends. It may be awkward at first, but isn't it always? Best of luck!

GiGi, I have two really good friends and they have gotten together and broken up multiple times. They are back together now, but I don't want either of them to get hurt. GiGi, should I tell them, or stay out of it?

I've had something a bit similar happen to me. Go to the one you are closest to then, without attacking them, the other person, or their relationship, tell them the truth. Just tell them how you feel. When talking to them, be sure to use, “I feel” statements. Don't attack them, or you might loose them as a friend. Normally, relationships like this aren't very healthy, and don't last long. Just express your concern. I hope I could help!

GiGi, School and clubs are stressing me out. How do I manage my time?

Again, not knowing much about what may be going on in your life, I'm just going to go off of what I do know. You are probably spreading yourself too thin. Try and figure out what things really matter to you. Those things need to take priority. Look at your schedule. Do you have any free time? Time you can spend with your friends outside of a school or club related activity? If not, then you might want to adjust your schedule to include some fun. It will help relax you so you aren't stressing all the time. You don't need to give up everything, just remember, you need some “you” time too. So try not to stress yourself too much, and remember, if you feel like you can't handle what life has given you, you have friends who love you and care about you. They'll be there for you to lean on. Don't worry.
