Super Sis


Dear Super Sis
I am a 14-year-old girl and I am studying in Class Eight. I have always secured a good position in all my classes from nursery to

Six Grade but now something is wrong with me. I don’t want to study anymore. I have lost interest in studies and this is due to two reasons.

Firstly as I am now in higher classes, my studies have become very difficult. There is a lot of burden of studies in my school. Secondly there is a girl in my class who is very intelligent and no one can beat her.

She always secures first position in exams. I have been trying to beat her for two years but I fail every time and now I am very much discouraged and hopeless. And you know this time I got 10th position in class. Please do something about it otherwise I won’t be able to go to 9th class or maybe won’t get admission in a good college.

It’s a good thing to be competitive, but before any external competition, you must remember that you are your own most important benchmark. I’m sure it’s not easy to see some girl constantly score high grades, but she must be working hard to get there.

In the meanwhile, what you must do is constantly self-analyse and try to do better than you did the last time.

You are your own best judge and no one can guide you about your study patterns; if you used to be a position-scorer before, look back to what you used to do differently and try to incorporate that into your studies now.

Once you start outperforming yourself, you will inevitably start scoring higher marks in class and soon, you will be competing with the highest scorers. But for the moment, it’s time to go back to your roots and fix things there. So pull out your stationery, make a timetable and start working. You are in control of your own destiny so get on it. Cheers!

 



Dearest, sweetest, beautiful, loveliest Super Sis
I’m a 14 year-old-boy. There is a girl in my school, her name is Saman. I love her very much. The problem is that she is angry with me. She is in second year and I’m in Class Eight. Whenever I go in front of her, she doesn’t talk to me and I also get confused in front of her beautiful eyes. Please help me.

Imran


Imran, as much as I hate to tell you this, I must say that girls are never interested in younger boys. And when younger boys get clingy and mushy, it can actually get rather irritating for girls. Now I’m sure that “her eyes are very beautiful” and everything but honestly, this crush isn’t taking you anywhere.

There is no easy way to get over a crush; it will take time before you are over this girl. Until then, try to focus away from her by hanging out with friends or reading or playing sport. The more you distract yourself, the less time you will have to think about her and the less miserable you’ll feel.

I wish it were easier for you to get over her but there isn’t; I cannot tell you to stop thinking about her because that’s not how it works. But you can comfort yourself with the knowledge that time is the biggest healer and one day in the not-too-distant future, you definitely will get over her and inevitably start ogling girls of your age or younger. Now isn’t that an exciting thought? Good luck!
