Dear Sideline Sadness, Well I guess the question here is what matters more to you that you’re good at soccer you know that you’re having fun with your friends who also enjoy the sport. I think the most important thing is that you feel like you are wanting to be part of a team. To have fun trying something new then hopefully whether or not you’re good will matter less because you will be enjoying it. But I think part of it is like just trying it if it’s fun if you like spending time with people and it feels like it’s worth it then keep going but maybe you don’t like it and you’re not good at it and you decide that it’s something else there’s something else you want to do but I think it’s worth it.

DEAR BUDGET THERAPISTS, One of my friends is always copying me! It’s driving me crazy!!! I got a really cool pair of sneakers and the next week they had the same one. I told them about a book I was reading and now it’s their FAVORITE EVER. I like this friend and that we like the same things but I feel like they’re trying to take over everything I like.

Dear Not a Twin,

We understand that it can be hard when it feels like you can’t have any space from your “friend” or have something that only you have, especially if it’s new.

Friends are the best and you can have a great time hanging out with them but it’s hard when you feel like you can’t just have your own cool thing. Even if it can be hard, try to talk to them and if you want to talk alone or with an adult you can always go to one of the counselors with your friend. If it doesn’t work then maybe suggest that you can have similar things but they are not the exact same. c
