About Louise
Expertise
I can answer a variety of questions. I am not a fortune teller so I can not of course predict the future. I can however make an educated guess based on information received and from past experiences.

Experience
I've been married for 18 years and I have three teenagers. One daughter and 2 sons. We've dealt with a variety of issues universal to most teens.

Education/Credentials
Life that is an experience the ride is not always smooth but if you fall down you get back up and dust yourself off and do it all over again.

Answer
Dionna,

I'm sorry you've had problems socially BUT fighting does not resolve anything....If anything it just causes more problems...Besides you are a female you need to conduct yourself as such....

If you get a job at a bank or as a physician some where do you honestly think in the adult world you can settle your differences by assaulting one another or shouting obscenities at one another?
Sure, there are some adults who feel that's how you resolve conflicts and they generally find themselves in jail or prison.....

Please understand I do realize you tried to avoid the situation BUT as much as you'd like to handle things on your own and in your own way sometimes you need to go to an adult at school....

Have you watched the movie "Mean Girls"? Well if you haven't perhaps you should it is based on a book called "Queen Bees and Wannabees".

No matter where you leave no matter what your religion or even the color of your skin somebody somewhere will find a reason to dislike you...That is their problem not yours.......As for friends you can have friends that are mutual friends with others as well as friends that you just like because of how they treat you.....

You know you can be a friend to someone who did you wrong but just keep your distance....I'd rather have a friend then an enemy BUT if you really would rather not be friends then, What you need to do is talk to your counselor at school TRUST ME they can resolve this issue for you....Please be respectful when you talk to them as you want them to help you....Tell them you are having problems with some girls and it is making you have a problem concentrating in your classes....


Maybe they can even switch your classes around.....Tell them you are concerned about your safety.....The school is there for you to get an education your job is to be a good student.......BUT in turn you have to make an effort to.... Avoid these girls get a new cell phone number or a new cell phone if you can't afford one or if you are on a contract.. Get a prepaid cell and do not give your number out to everyone....

Do not send messages to others about these girls thru myspace or facebook anything like that there are cyberbully laws and I'm pretty sure you don't want those kind of problems......

You really do need to talk to the counselor or the assistant principal or the principal........If you feel uncomfortable talking to the counselor tell your parents and they can talk to the counselor for you....You should talk to your parents about this situation I'm pretty sure they want you to be safe and happy.....


Good Luck!
