Dear Advice Lady, Q. Sometimes it smells in the locker room. What shouldI do to prevent the smell?   A. We all get a little sweaty and smelly after gym, butthere are ways to make the smell better.   You should wear deodorant everyday.   You can bring light perfume or body spray and keep it inyour locker.   The spray is NOT areplacement for a shower before or after school, but it should help. Anotherthing that may help with the smell is washing your gym uniform every week. Getin the habbit of bringing home your uniform every Friday so that your mom couldwash it over the weekend.   We allneed good hygiene so maybe this advice could help you.   Q. What should I do to organize my locker? A. First take everything out and decide what you need andwhat you do not need in your locker. If you make sure that everything has itsown place it makes it easier to keep it there.   Put your books in a spot where you can see them. Papersshould be put in a proper notebook or binder. Try not to shove stuff in yourlocker.   Make sure to leaveyourself enough time to get to your locker for your next class.     Q. What should I do to keep an organized folder? A. Assign a colored folder to every class.   Label the folders too so that there isnever a question about where your papers should go.   Get rid of all of the papers you do not need anymore.         Q. My friend is starting to annoy me. What should I do? A. If you and a friend are not getting along you havetwo choices.   First you should tryto talk with them about the problem.   Don’t raise your voice or name call.   That won’t solve anything.   Try to see things from their point of view. Don’t try toinvolve all of your other friends because that will only make the argumentworse.   If you feel like you can’twork things out, try to take some time apart from each other.   You may find that you will start missingthat person or you may find that you are happier without them.   Whatever you do, follow the goldenrule:   “Treat others as you wouldlike to be treated.”    ]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:40:05 GMT
