Dear Ariella B.,

My family never goes anywhere ever. When we do go places it is never where I want and my whole family ignores me and wants me to be bored. How can I get my family to do what I want for once?

Sincerely,

Ignored Iris

Dear Ignored Iris,

I am sorry that you are feeling ignored. You can ask your family to go places you want to go. If they say no, try a compromise. If you do what your parents want this time then hopefully they’ll do what you want next time. Everyone should take turns so nbody will feel left out. Remember, if your place is not chosen first or it turns out that nobody likes your suggestion, at least you can try again the next time around. This way they might actually want to choose your idea next.

Until next time,

Ariella B.
