What It Means When People Brag

    Have you ever bragged? Chances are, you have. You've also probably heard someone else brag. Bragging isn't good, but it isn't a bad thing either. It's not exactly mean, or rude, and it's not teasing. But sometimes it's hurtful and can get annoying fast. Read on for more about bragging and what to do if you know someone who does this a lot. When I was writing this post, I felt like I was contradicting a lot of the stuff I said, then contradicting the contradicts. So this post might not make a lot of sense, but here's the main point: Bragging is okay, as long as it's not hurtful bragging or if it's hurting people feelings when done purposely.      What Are Examples Of Bragging? An example of bragging might be if someone says something like, "You got to have tacos for dinner last night? Well, I got to have ice cream." When people are bragging, they tend to try to make themselves look better. "My family has two cars but yours only has ...

How To Know When Someone Scams

Scamming is very popular among many platforms, such as Roblox, YouTube videos, and just all over online. But, what is scamming? It's when someone tries to trick you into doing something. In a game that some of my friends play called "Adopt Me," you can collect pets and trade them as well. Sometimes, people get jealous and want your pets, but they don't have anything to offer for it, so they might try scamming you. They could say, "Let's trust trade" or "I'll send you some REAL GOLD if you give me your pet!" Both of these are total scams. Trust trading is when you give someone your pet  for free  and they get to use it for a couple of seconds and they give it right back afterward. But, lots of people will get the pets, pretend to play with the pet, then leave the game. That's stealing. Another thing is the person trying to send you stuff out of the game. If they say something about sending you real gold, money, etc., DON'T TRUST THEM...

Check out this short checklist, and see how many things you can say, "Yes! My friend is that way!" to. Count how many you say that to (each bullet is just one question, there are 11) and then check out the results at the bottom once you are done. Does your friend care about your feelings?

Do they have (at least a few)  positive character traits? (post link) Does your friend use nice words on you and other people?  Is your friend honest? Do they tell you things and not keep many secrets? Is your friend fair to everyone? Do they share?  Are they helpful? Do they make you smile? Does your friend make you la...

Remaining Calm During Fights

Them:  "I hate you!!! 😟" ARGH. JUST BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY TRIPPED THEM, THEY'RE MAKING SUCH A SCENE! Me:  "Well you're so dumb and such a loser you can't even control your anger for the simplest thing!" Is she the one having issues controlling her anger... or is it me? When you are in a fight with someone, you're most likely to yell and call out rude things to the person. We mention in one of our other posts " How to say sorry " on not yelling at the person.  Click here to view . Today, I'll be telling you how to remain calm during fights! Staying calm is the most important thing to do. Without doing that, the fight could go on for a very long time. You and the other person might not even end up being friends anymore! Remaining calm at those times can help at least a little bit and both understand each other's points. Staying calm is hard, so it's important to practice.
