Hi, I'm Aunt Sofiya- the Computer Clubhouse's resident agony aunt!

 

Dear Aunt Sofiya,


I have a problem…I have a friend who has always been late or simply not some to our appointments. She will call ten minutes before we are going to meet and say she’s not coming. That was fine before when we all had more time on our hands but now I just don’t have time to stuff around! So I have begun to avoid inviting her out. The other day she got quite shirty when I didn’t give her much notice before inviting her to a party (because I knew she wouldn’t come…and she didn’t!). Should I just stop inviting her out and let the friendship fade or confront her about the issue?
From annoyed


You should confront her; tell her that you don’t think she is making an effort to keep your friendship. If this problem continues try other little things like giving her a early warning of your dates and keep in mind that she also has a career and her timetable might not suite yours. If none this works your best off not inviting her and going out and having fun with out her.

Dear aunty,
I have a real problem with cleaning and washing dishes. I just don’t like doing it. I have thought about using disposable plates, cups, knives and forks but I am also an environment freak and don’t like putting too much stuff in the garbage. HELP! How can I get over this problem?
Love lazy locks


Believe it or not you can make cleaning fun. Play some RnB music to get you in the dancing mood and dance while cleaning. When you eat, wash your dishes straight after you finish that way you won’t have old dishes stacked to the ceiling. Don’t buy disposable dishes it’s just a waste and you want to eat in style?.

I like a boy at school but I am too shy to talk to him – What should I do?


Talk to him, get to know him. You never know he might not be the guy you think he is. Never be afraid to share your feelings tell your friends and ask them what they think. If you really like him you shouldn’t care about what other people think. If you just sit back and do nothing you’ll never know if he likes you, but if you do tell him and he likes you you’ll be over the moon and if he doesn’t fancy you at least you know. You could still be friends.

My friend Shirley is fond of both music and sports. But doesn’t have enough time for both, what should she do?


Shirley should think about what she really wants and where it is going to take her in the future. If she is planning on having a career that has a relation to music learns an instrument, if it relates to sports play sports. It is up to her, it’s what she wants to do. Just think about it.

I had a big with my brother, we both think we’re right so neither one of us wants to apologise to each other, but we haven’t spoken for a week and its starting to upset me. How should I fix this problem?


Siblings are always going to fight it doesn’t matter how old or how close, they are always going to argue weather it’s a big issue or not. Just say sorry, even if it wasn’t your fault. It is upsetting you so be the wiser one and apologise. Fights may upset you but when you solve them it usually brings the two closer together. Good luck.
