Masalah

Kepada Sad gurl @ Stress gurl,

Dalam pembelajaran, kita perlu study smart dan bukan study hard. Saya rasa anda patut memberi perhatian dalam kelas dan menyiapkan homework. Jangan mengisahkan pandangan guru-guru anda yang negatif kerana anda ke sekolah untuk belajar. Cari cara yang efektif untuk anda belajar. Tanyalah pandangan rakan-rakan anda yang cemerlang dalam peperiksaan. Yang lebih penting, jangan terlalu cepat stress dan jangan menuggu sehingga ke saat-saat akhir sebelum peperiksaan untuk belajar. Buat persiapan yang lengkap. Dalam Islam, Allah tidak akan memberi dugaan kepada anda yang anda tidak boleh hadapi. Oleh itu, bersabarlah dan jangan putus asa.

Problems

"Dear PRS,
I know you guys are only the PRS but is there something that can help us, like the student council? You know, the grade stuff. I mean, what about us, the less knowledgeable students? It feels like the school is only focusing on the smarter ones and on being a top school. HELP?!?! "

Dear Friend,

We are one of the High Performance School in Malaysia and you should be proud of Sri Aman because of that. The grading system has to be upgraded to achieve a higher standard of excellence. The school isn't only focusing on the smarter ones, what they are doing is challenging us to unleash our full potential. Don't say that you are less knowledgeable or stupid. Everybody is smart and we have to study smart. Try doing a group discussion with your friends about your subjects. Or, you could ask your teachers for help. In class, learn to pay attention to what the teacher is saying and DON'T TALK. I'm sure you will be able to improve your grades.

Problems

"Dear PRS, I need a help. Why this school teacher gave lot's of homework!! This is too sucks!! With my problems in the hostel, then this school!! How can I surf life as a teenagers also with no problem?? I need your help."

Dear Friend,

You should look at homework as a good thing because once you've done your homework, you do not really need to study too hard because you are learning. Hostel problems should be put aside, and focus more on studies and how it would affect your future later on. And remember that being a teenager isn't all about being jolly. The real life itself has its ups and downs and you should be prepared to face it as it is a part of growing up. Time management is also important. Divide yourself equally between work and play.

Love,
PRS SRI AMAN

Problems

"Too many staybacks in Sri Aman! Almost everyday stayback! Penatlah."

Dear Friend,

That's our school, love. As a high performance school, we have to excel in everything even co-curricular activities. It's just for a little while, until Sports Day is over. Make sure the clubs that you joined are clubs that you enjoy so it doesn't feel like torture. In a few more months, it will stop but then the BOOKS awaits.

Problems

"Now that 50 is the passing mark, I'm failing almost everything! I even got a B for English which I've never gotten before. And Maths too!"

Dear Friend,

The world is changing. Standards are constantly getting harder. The only thing to do is to keep up and work harder. The March Test was somewhat a trial. Use your marks to encourage yourself to work harder. With effort, you don't have to worry about the passing marks but achieving the A+ grade.

Remember, almost everyone got terrible marks for March. So you're not the only one in this boat.

Masalah

Kepada sahabatku Confused Girl,

Anda telah menghantar surat kepada kami yang amat panjang dan kami pasti anda tahu siapa diri anda. Untuk menghormati privasi anda, kami telah memutuskan untuk tidak menulis masalah anda di sini. Berikut merupakan nasihat kami kepada anda untuk menyelesaikan masalah anda.

Pertama sekali, masalah ini adalah normal bagi setiap pelajar. Kami menasihatkan agar anda lebih memfokuskan diri dalam pelajaran kerana pelajaran amat penting bagi setiap individu. Pelajaran akan membuat diri anda lebih matang dalam membuat keputusan. Adalah tidak salah untuk mempunyai teman lelaki tetapi, pelajaran anda adalah lebih penting. Selepas itu, banyakkanlah berdoa agar ditunjukkan jalan yang benar.

Kami juga merasakan bahawa mungkin anda patut sahaja berterus terang kepada lelaki yang anda suka itu. Sekurang-kurangnya anda tidak perlu lagi tertanya-tanya sama ada dia menyukai anda atau sebaliknya. Kepada lelaki yang selalu mendengar masalah kamu pula, adalah lebih baik jika anda mengenali hati budinya dengan lebih dekat lagi.

Konklusinya, sebagai perempuan anda perlulah pandai menjaga diri. Anda masih muda and oleh itu anda perlu berfikir tentang pelajaran dan tidak terlalu risaukan hal-hal tentang lelaki. Masa anda akan tiba satu hari, anda hanya perlu menunggu.

Problems

"Setiap petang , I pergi taman dengan kawan-kawan but my mom tak bagi kluar I boring duduk dekat rumah. So, I just kluar macam tu je. Balik tu I kene marah. Patut ke I duduk dekat rumah je... I'm so bored."

Dear Friend,

First of all, there must be a reason why your mom did not let you go out. Even though it's just the park, maybe your mom doesn't let you because she doesn't want you to hang around and waste your time. Besides that, hanging around the park could also be considered dangerous because there are many strangers. Maybe you should just sit at home and find other interesting things to do at home. Surfing, watching television, or even completing your homework. Studying. Learn to fill your time with good, positive things. Find a new hobby that you'll like.

No worries, be happy!

Masalah

"I ade problem pasal March test aritu, I dah cuba sedaya-upaya but masih sama keputusan I tetap teruk. Blaja pon dah semua I dah buat tetapi tak dapat markah yang bagus. I stress sangat. Semua cikgu pandang rendah kat I. Help me..."

Kepada sahabatku,

Walaupun keputusan exam anda teruk, anda masih perlu belajar bersungguh-sungguh. Mungkin satu hari nanti, berkat usaha anda, anda akan dapat keputusan yang cemerlang. Kami menasihatkan agar walaupun anda memperoleh markah yang teruk, teruskan lagi usaha anda. Cuba anda membuat study group dengan kawan-kawan anda. Selepas itu, cuba bertanya dengan pelajar yang pandai dan minta dia tolong anda dalam matapelajaran atau bertanya kepadanya tentang tip-tip belajar efektif. Banyakkan buat latihan dan kalau ada apa-apa yang anda tidak faham, tanyalah kepada guru.

Tidak ada seorang guru pun yang memandang rendah kepada anak muridnya. Jika anda berasa yang mereka pandang rendah kepada anda, jadikan itu sebagai satu cabaran. Buktikan kepada semua orang yang anda juga cerdik pandai. Selamat berjaya.

Suggestion

"I would suggest this school reopens the chess and badminton club. Close the netball club. I'm not joking (only the signature is fun)"


Dear friend,

Why would you want the chess and badminton to reopen? Maybe the reason it closed down in the first place was because of lack of participants. Besides that, I think netball club is one of the main sports team in our school and almost every school has a netball club. Anyhow, I suggest that you go to see Cik Liew and tell her about your suggestion.

Dear friend,

Your dad is just concerned about you. It means he cares. You should consider what your dad thinks. Maybe you can try to talk to your dad about it. As for the money, maybe you can do some chores in exchange for money and at the same time, you're doing something nice for your parents. Also, you should consider spending more time with your family and not going out all the time.

Suggestion

"Dear PRS, I know that some people are forced to choose sports that they don't really like in kokurikulum because of the limited amount of choices. I would like to start a volleyball club. Do you think people will join?"

Dear friend,
It's a good idea to start a volleyball club since there's no such club yet. I bet a lot of people would want to join, but you have to think ahead because it's not going to be easy. There's so much procedures and you have to go through teachers and administrators before forming a club. You could of course suggest this idea to Cik Liew but know that if it gets approved, you might be the one in charge.

Masalah

"Setiap hari Isnin, kami ada ICTL. Saya bawak pendrive yang baru lagi dan tak bukak lagi dari bekas dia. Bila sampai, pendrive saya hilang! Saya rasa pendrive tu tercicir. Esoknya, saya dengar ada pendrive hilang. Saya rasa pendrive tu saya punya, tapi tak tahu mana nak cari tempat Lost and Found. Help?"

Kepada sahabatku,
Pertama sekali, rujuk dengan guru ICT (Pn Azlina dan Cik Shathirah). Lost and found boleh dirujuk daripada guru yang bertugas pada minggu itu. Jika guru tidak dapat jumpa pendrive kamu, buatlah aduan kepada guru bertugas agar pengumuman dan tindakam dapat diambil. Jika tidak tahu guru bertugas, tanyalah pengawas. Semoga berjaya.

Masalah

"Saya selalu di marah oleh cikgu PJK saya. Dia sering memalukan saya di depan kawan sekelas dengan saya. Saya sangat stress!"

Kepada sahabatku,
Saya rasa anda perlu bertanya kepada guru PJK anda dimana kesalahan anda kerana guru tidak akan memarahi murid jikalau murid itu tidak membuat kesilapan atau salah. Selain itu, anda perlu mencuba membuktikan kepada guru anda bahawa anda bukan seperti apa yang guru anda katakan. Jika anda masih malu untuk bertanya kepada guru anda, anda bolehlah berjumpa dengan kaunselor atau ahli PRS.

"Dear PRS, I have a problem here and i need an explanation. I have 3 friends, and only one of them is my best friend but the other 2 gets so jealous because i am always with my best friend. What should i do?"

Dear friend,
A friendship is for everyone to enjoy and appreciate. A true friend will not feel jealous of anything. Try talking to all of them and solve the problem. I am a senior, and i have gone through all these friendship problems, but later you'll realize that any friendship should not be ended because of silly and immature things. Try talking it out because maybe the problem is due to miscommunication.

Masalah

"Boyfriend aku control aku sangat. Bukannya aku tak suka dia, tapi rimas lah. Lepas tu, dia skandal dengan kawan aku. Aku tak tau nak buat apa, aku sayang dekat boyfriend aku, tapi aku tak nak hilang member aku jugak."

Kepada sahabatku,
Mempunyai teman lelaki tidak salah tetapi anda perlu ingat bahawa anda masih muda, dan perkara yang penting sekarang adalah menumpukan perhatian kepada pelajaran dan aktiviti sekolah. Anda ada banyak masa lagi untuk bercinta. Bila masa itu sampai, anda akan tahu untuk memilih teman lelaki yang setia dan tidak membuat anda berasa rimas. Anda juga perlu menasihati rakan anda supaya melakukan perkara yang sama dan jangan membazir masa yang ada sewaktu muda ini.

"Assalamualaikum PRS, saya nak cadangan daripada PRS untuk saya jaga badan supaya saya kurus! Saya nak diri saya seperti orang lain. PRS boleh tak berikan saya jadual pemakanan atau lain-lain cara untuk saya menjadi sihat dan kurus seperti orang lain? Terima kasih."

Waalaikumussalam sahabatku,
Bukan anda seorang sahaja yang menghadapi masalah ini tetapi ramai remaja yang ingin menjadi kurus. Anda perlulah menetapkan jadual pemakanan yang betul dan lebihkan pengambilan makanan yang sihat seperti sayur dan buah-buahan. Jangan buat perkara yang drastik seperti diet berlebihan, tetapi kerapkan bersenam. Elakkan makanan ringan dan pengambilan snek pada waktu lewat malam. Semoga berjaya!

"I used to be very hyper and had very nice friends but lately i realized that if i don't talk to my friends, they won't talk to me. Sometimes, they would ignore me. Please help me. I really don't feel like talking to them because they will think i am too sensitive."

Dear friends,
It's normal for people to change through time. What you are experiencing might be different than your friends. Probably, you are maturing faster than the rest. It isn't a bad thing, but certain times you will get really sensitive over a small matter. So i suggest that you calm yourself down before talking to your friends. If you don't feel like talking to them, just keep to yourself for a while. Take time to miss your friends and they will miss you too, so the next time you meet up with them, you will have a lot of things to say to each other.

Masalah

"Saya ada seorang kawan yang sangat hipokrit. Dia suka menunjuk-nunjuk pandai! Dia bajet lawa dan sekarang dia tinggalkan semua kawan dia. Beliau juga terlalu obses dengan tubuh badanyya yang kurus seperti memerli orang yang gemuk. Plus, she macam say she like, already 'sedar diri' and found tuhan and she like, menunjuk-nunjuk as if we bawah dia."

Kepada sahabatku,
Jikalau anda betul-betul kawan dia, anda akan cuba memberitahu dia tentang masalah dengan cara yang terbaik. Jangan lupa untuk ingatkan dia bahawa anda sayangkan dia sebagai kawan. Cubalah nasihatkan kawan anda ini supaya dia tidak melanjutkan perangainya yang suka menunjuk-nunjuk itu.

"This problem keeps bugging me although I try to ignore it. The problem is, I'm having some argument with my friend, EX-BESTFRIEND. We did misunderstood with each other which the point is, I don't really get the problem. If I did hurt her feelings, I ask her to give me one more chance that day. But, she ignore my question and try to avoid me. If she didn't forgive me, should I do the same too or should (still) friends with her in different way?"

Dear Friend,

What happened between you and your friend is something that happens everyday. If you don't understand the problem between you and your friend, you should ask her for her point of view on the problem and not ask for another chance without resolving the issue. Give her time to realise that you are making an effort to make this friendship work. In the meantime, you shouldn't think about not forgiving her and ending your friendship. Treat her the way you want to be treated and who knows, your friendship might become stronger that it was before. Friendship works both ways with both parties, give and take.

Problems

"I'm a Form 3 student, yeah I know PMR. I have to stayback nearly every day because of sports, club and more. Once I get home, I only have one to two hours only for resting. After that, I've to go to tuition. Then, do my homework, normally at eleven, I go to bed. The next morning I am so damn tired in class, it's kind of hard to focus because I felt sleepy and tired. What I am supposed to do?"

Dear Friend,

I have to admit that the school schedule is pretty tight but it is for your own good. You should find a method that suits yourself for example a power nap. You sleep for 15 minutes and wake up to continue your homework. To maximise your resting time at home, try to finish your homework in school. Even five minutes between every period is good enough. Try your best to focus in class and avoid unnecessary chatting in class when the teacher is teaching. The more you pay attention in class, the less time you have to spend on revision at home. Last but not least, excercise! It helps one to focus and it helps you to feel more energised.

"Form 3's banyak sangat homework! I don't even have time to finish it. Pagi, sekolah, petang, koko, malam, tuition. And even if I do finish my h/w, I don't even have time to go online."

Dear Friend,

Seeing as this has become a problem, you should consult someone older who can help you to make a study timetable to better organize your time. Make sure you stick to the timetable. Learn to prioritize, start with which homework you have to hand in first. Also, seeing as going online is not a priority at the moment you should consider only going online on weekends.

Kepada sahabatku,

Saya rasa kamu patut mengenali lelaki ini dengan lebih mendalam sebelum memberitahu dia yang kamu suka dia.

Problems

"There are two people in my class who are so annoying, because they talk a lot in class. So, when the teacher is teaching, they like to ask the teacher silly questions. The entire class hates them."

Dear friend,

Hate is a pretty strong word, don't you think? These two girls enjoy talking a lot and are always disrupting the class because they never pay attention, so why not tell them how you feel? Explain to them how their constant chatting is making it hard for you and the rest of the class to focus on the lesson, and when they ask silly questions, it slows everyone down. Talk to them nicely and don't hate them as they might not be aware of how their behaviour annoys and affects others.

Problems

"I have a big problem. I have 3 best friends, who are all fighting amongst each other to be friends with me. What should i do?"

Dear friend,

As you have said it yourself; these three girls are your best friends. Therefore, there should be no reason for them to fight over you in order to be your friend. Include each other in all your plans and don't make anyone feel left out. Be equally nice to all of them, and sooner or later, the four of you will forge a friendship that will last a lifetime.

"I have a 'friend' in class. She is very stuck up and disturbs the class a lot. For example, a teacher gives us a question and let's say she'll just say "Oh teacher, I know." every time. She's also very stingy and likes to snatch things away. She is so stuck up. Please help."

Dear friend,

Firstly, don't treat her the same way. Maybe, all she needs are humble friends. Why don't you try telling her how her behaviour makes you and your classmates feel without being too harsh, and give her the chance to change herself. Maybe you could also politely ask her to give other classmates a chance to answer the questions that your teacher asks. Befriend your classmates, and if it doesn't work, try telling the subject teacher how you feel about her constant brown-nosing.

"Saya ada masalah kekurangan kawan. Saya pun tak tahu mengapa mereka tidak suka akan saya. Saya keseorangan di sekolah ini. Mereka semua ada kawan dari sekolah tetapi saya tidak. Jika saya asyik bersama mereka, mereka pasti akan berasa rimas."

Kepada sahabatku,

Kita mesti yakin dan percaya akan diri sendiri. Sekiranya kita sendiri tidak, siapa yang akan percaya? Cuba fikir secara positif; bagaimanakah cara untuk saya mendapat kawan? Muahasabah diri, dan renungkan kekurangan diri kita untuk mengubah diri ke arah kebaikan agar lebih disenangi oleh orang-orang disekeliling kita. Kalau boleh, cuba tanya seseorang tentang apa kelemahan kita yang boleh dibaiki. Dalam masa yang sama, jangan terlalu risau akan masalah ini. Ia mengambil masa untuk melakukan perkara yang menyenangkan hati.

Dear friend,

I am in Form 5 and i have the same problem as you. Older sisters will always be like that, and one thing that you have to do is talk to her properly. Tell her that you don't like how she always takes your belongings without our permission, and that you have no problems sharing as long as she asks you nicely. Secondly, everytime you want to borrow her clothes, ask her nicely and if she still doesn't let you, tell her that you lent her something of yours just recently, and that it is only fair. Besides, isn't sharing caring?

Kepada sahabatku,

Sebagai seorang kawan, kita kena mencuba sedaya-upaya untuk selesaikan masalah di antara rakan-rakan kita. Kalau kawan kita terasa dan mengamuk, tidak mengapa. Cuba tegur dengan cara yang baik, tenang dan sabar. Cara yang terbaik adalah dengan menyelesaikan masalah antara kawan awak dengan baik.

Problems

"Hi dear PRS,
You know, our school got SBT right? Yeah! I want air-cond in our hall. I mean like it'll be very useful. For SPM/PMR candidates, they can sit for their exams calmly, imagine us sitting for a MAJOR EXAM panas-panas. Our brain won't work ogayh! Pleaselah, use those 700k for air-conds in our hall. It won't be THAT expensive & yeah I know we're on the GO GREEN campaign thing but its for our own good. THANKS!
P.S=Even normal schools have air-cond in their hall."

Dear Friend,

Don't we all want an air-conditioned hall. But on a practical platform, an investment in air conditioners for the hall doesn't weigh out the many other things we could do with the money. You say the SPM/PMR candidates can sit for their examinations more calmly should the hall be air-conditioned. But, note that these exams carry out only once a year. Keep in mind that not only we have to spend on sufficient amount of air-conditioners, maintenance will cost too. We could use the money for a better canteen, maybe? Or better laboratories, upgrade our washrooms etc.

Dear Friend,

Understand that we all have different personalities. Your friend must be a very chatty person and probably doesn't realize she's causing a little discomfort in class. When you feel like you find it difficult to concentrate in class, approach your friend and in a warm and gentle manner, tell her you think she might be disturbing the class and maybe she shouldn't talk so much in class. You could even suggest she finish up her homework in class so she won't have much workload to do at home, and you get the peace and quiet you want. If it still doesn't work out, don't hesitate to write back.

"Haloo prs... pls help me out... i am a short girls trying to grow taller, i am really sad when people call me shorty and i need ur advice how to grow taller so pls tell me the best way to grow taller... plsss i really need ur help"
Dear Friend,

Truthfully there is no way for us to tell you how to grow taller. Wearing high heels might help, but yeah that's it. We think the best way to deal with your problem is by accepting yourself. Be happy with what god gave you. :) Also, don't get sad when people call you shorty, humans are like that, they are quick to judge and they like to give labels. When they call your shorty, correct them by saying "I'm not short, just petite."

Read this. The Advantages of Being Short (It's from the Internet)
  • Shorter people are less likely to break bones when they fall, have faster reaction at times, greater ability to accelerate body movements and are less likely to get severely injured in a car accident.
  • Shorter people have a smaller impact on the environment. It was found that people averaging 6 feet and 190 pounds can impact human survival by creating more pollution and depletion of resources, such as water, energy and oil.
  • Shorter people live longer. Bigger bodies need more cells and duplication of cells is limited. But of course you have to eat and live healthily.
I hope we helped you build your confidence. Remember, don't be sad, be HAPPY! Write to us again for anything.

Masalah

"Help me, I ada suka 1 lelaki ni, but dia lagi tua daripada I. I suka dia sebab dia handsome, cute, hot, cool, and banyak lagi.

Help me, macam mana I nak tarik perhatian dia. I tak nak you cakap pasal my age yang still young. Just help me macam mana nak dapatkan dia as boyfriend. Please!"


Dear friend,


At this age we really think that you should be focused on your studies and being a teenager. Our teenage years cannot be repeated ever again, so we have to make the most of it now. Don’t trouble yourself at this age with having a boyfriend because he will most likely cause disruption.

If you still want a boyfriend, I think you should go for someone who is more your age. That way you can talk of all the things that you both are going through together. This means that you are on the same wavelength with each other and you understand each other. It is even better if that someone influences you positively like in studies. Always remember to take care of yourself whenever you are with a boy.

Also, another thing is the reason to why you like this guy is because he is handsome, cute, hot and cool? In choosing someone to be our boyfriend, a good heart, attitude and personality is very important. Looks can be deceiving and don’t ever judge a book by its cover.

"One of my friend has fallen in love. I am scared if her marks will drop."

Dear Friend,

It's very thoughtful that you care about your friend. :)
First things first, be a good friend and tell her that studies are much more important than having a boyfriend. I understand that we all want to be in love and have someone special in our lives but you have to tell her that parents and studies are more important. If she insists on having a boyfriend, its okay. What you have to do is guide her through her studies. Keep on reminding her to never neglect her studies especially when a major exam is near. Moreover, if her marks dropped, make her realize the main problem to why her marks dropped. If her boyfriend is taking too much of her time, tell her that it is time to focus on her education. Remind her HOW IMPORTANT good education is for her future. Sometimes the key is just time management and a lot of effort and focus. If this problem persists, perhaps you should ask her to see the school counsellor or a PRS.

Masalah

"Saya tertekan antara nak pilih sains tulen ke akaun selepas PMR. Ayah saya nak saya pilih sains tulen tapi saya takut saya tidak boleh skor dalam pelajaran itu. Mak kata pilih apa yang kamu nak jangan ikut ayah tetapi saya kesian ayah. Dalam dilema. Tolong."
Kepada sahabatku,

Pertama sekali, anda tak perlu risau kerana pada masa tingkatan 4 nanti, anda akan diberi pengenalan kepada semua matapelajaran sains tulen. Nasihat kami adalah, cuba anda mengambil aliran sains tulen dahulu. Kalau awal-awal anda rasa tak boleh bertahan, anda boleh minta daripada guru untuk keluar daripada aliran itu dan mencuba aliran akaun.

Seterusnya, ibu bapa anda memang inginkan yang terbaik buat anda. Sekiranya anda mengambil aliran sains tulen, tetapi markah anda tidak memberangsangkan, bagaimana anda nak menggembirakan hati ayah dan ibu? Sekiranya anda memilih aliran akaun, tunjukkan kepada ayah anda yang anda benar-benar ingin memasuki aliran akaun. Belajar bersungguh-sungguh dan buktikan kepada ayah anda. Saya yakin bahawa ayah anda tidak akan kecewa, dia pasti akan lebih bangga dengan kamu sekiranya kamu memperoleh markah cemerlang. Yang lebih penting, pilihlah matapelajaran yang anda minati dan sesuai dengan cita-cita anda.

Problems

"My best friend sometimes annoy me. She is not my old best friend anymore ... T_T"
Dear Friend,

There is no reason for you to give up on your best friend. Why do you find her annoying? Did she hurt your feelings? Try to talk it out with her because when you identify the problem, then you can find the solution. When you say that she's not your best friend anymore, do you mean she's changed or that you both grew apart?

If you both grew apart, try to rekindle the friendship again. Give her a call, talk to her during recess, just don't stop the contact.

If you mean she's changed, if it's for the better, stay and support her. But, if it's for the worst, then we suggest you to find a much better influence in your life. Best friends are people who are meant to be there for you at bad times and good times. If she can't do that, look for some other good friends.

Write to us again if you're still confused and be more specific next time. :)
We help you help yourselves.

Love,
PRS SRI AMAN

Problems

"Dear PRS,
My sisters everytime do some wrong! My mother will think that I do it, what am I supposed to do? I don't like this."
Dear Friend,

Sisters are just like that, they like to get their other sisters or brothers in trouble. One thing you should do is, try not to provoke your sister. Don't purposely do something just to irritate her because that will make her want to strike back. Secondly, in a situation, explain to your mother calmly what happened. I'm sure that your mom will understand. Also, you have to remember that your sisters are your family and you will tend to get on each other's nerve. It's only a certain phase that your sisters are going through and in a few more years, I'm sure you will be BFF. Just chill and be patient.

Problems

"We have this friend. She likes to steal and also lie to people. She betrayed us all. She gave us this "surat", and then she asks us to forgive her. But, we're not sure to forgive her or not. She stole RM5 from 18 people and she hasn't give it back to us yet. She is also picked for PRS."
Dear Friend,

Okay, let's take this step by step. Tell your friend that in order to be forgiven, she must correct to the people that she has wronged. She must replace each and everyone of the 18 people's RM5. Then, once she has done that you and your friends' should find some room in your heart to forgive her. Try to understand her situation, maybe she did it out of desperation. Nevertheless, we must first make her realize of her mistake and then it's time to forgive and forget.

And about her being picked for PRS, we hope that if she gets into PRS, she will learn to change and become a much better person.

Problems

"Heyy, I just started Form 1 this year and since I started school, I had to do a lot of homework and I have no time to do other activities. So what should I do?"
Dear Friend,

The first thing you should do is to make a study schedule/timetable. If you feel like you can't do it alone, then ask an adult or someone older to help you. This should help you to organize your time better. You can also do your homework in groups, or by yourself after school while waiting for extra-curricular activities to start. It is also a good idea to ask tutors to help you.

Problems

"Sometimes, people tell me that my friend lie and stole people money... so when I know about this thing I was just like don't know to trust who ... So when I got to know that she stole somebody money ... So what should I do?? I'm confused ..."
Dear Friend,

We understand what a difficult situation you're in, and you feel like you don't know who to trust. Don't listen to hearsay so much. You should know your friend better than these other people, so I don't think you should do anything until you know for sure that your friend has been stealing people's money. When you know for sure, you should advise her to stop what she's doing now because it can get her into greater trouble if the habit continues. If she doesn't stop, then you should tell a trusted adult what is going on. Good luck. :)

Problems

"Hi! I'm a desperate girl!I have a problem with my boyfriend! He stop calling me and last time i went grocery shopping at Jusco I saw him with another girl! Can you help me? What should I do? :) Love you PRSes. xoxo"

Dear Friend,

Don't worry too much about him. I think it's obvious that your boyfriend is not taking you or your relationship with him seriously. Your best bet is to call him yourself or approach him and ask him exactly what is going on. If he is not willing to talk to you about this, then he is not worth your time. Instead you should use your precious time to focus on your studies, as studying will benefit you more than worrying about your boyfriend will at your age. Give him a chance to explain his actions. If his reasons are not valid, then you should move on. Also, don't be desperate, life is not all about boys you know. :)

Problems

"I have a problem coming early to school. My parents said that I can go to school late but the prefects always punish me! WTH? Help me! PLS!"
Dear Friend,

Truthfully, we have a slight trouble understanding your problem. Are you saying that YOU have trouble coming to school early? OR are you saying that your PARENTS make you late to school? We'll answer both situations.

If YOU have trouble coming to school early, I suggest you to do this.

  • Set up your alarm half an hour earlier, so you will always have extra time
  • Sleep early so you'll wake up easier
  • Pack your bags, files, PJK clothes and other stuff the night before
  • Ask somebody like your family member to help wake you up
  • Drag yourself to the toilet and splash cold water on your face, that would really wake you up!
If you are saying that your PARENTS make you late to school, I suggest you to do this.

  • Tell your parents of what punishment your would receive at school if you come late
  • Knock on their door early in the morning, because even parents have problem waking up too sometimes
  • Remind your parents of how it will affect your school performance if you come to school late
At the end of the day, it's all just discipline. You must train yourself to wake up early and be punctual. If you don't make a habit of being punctual now, it will effect you in the future when in college and workplace. If everyone can do it, so can you! Good luck! :)

Masalah

"PRS, saya dari kelas _____, saya telah mendapat 2A3B. Waktu Maths, saya tidak faham apa yang diajar. Malah, cikgu itu merendahkan saya dan kawan yang juga mendapat 2A. Kami rasa tidak layak bersekolah di Sri Aman. Tolonglah saya ..."

Kepada sahabatku,

Terima kasih kerana mengutarakan satu isu yang kerap berlaku. Pertama sekali, tidak ada seseorang pun yang tidak layak ke sekolah ini. Perkara ini pernah dinyatakan oleh pengetua kita sendiri. Sekolah ini bukan hanya mementingkan jumlah A yang anda peroleh, tetapi kami ingin pelajar yang mempunyai semangat untuk belajar dan mempunyai sikap yang baik. Saya berpendapat bahawa anda memiliki kedua-dua kriteria tersebut. Janganlah berputus asa dengan kritikan cikgu. Cikgu hanya ingin kamu berjaya dalam kehidupan. Anda dan rakan-rakan anda sudah lebih besar dan zaman persekolahan ini hanya akan bertambah sukar. Anda haruslah berusaha dengan lebih keras. Oleh itu, anggaplah keputusan UPSR anda itu sebagai titik tolak untuk lebih maju lagi. Tahun lepas telahpun berlalu, tahun ini tahun yang baru. Kuatkanlah semangat anda.

Problems

"Hey guys, I've got like a problem. U know that my friend and my other friend is fighting like cats and dogs. And they come and complain it to me. I don't know what to do. And they always say they wished they have never met each other. They used to be BFF 4 life. I hope you can solve my problem."
Dear Friend,

As a friend that they trust you should try and talk it out with the both of them. It is not worth ruining a great friendship like they have. Remind them of the good moments that they had before this BIG fight. Make them remember how wonderful this friendship was. Try your best to persuade them to take things slow. If they still don't want to be friends, try to make new friends and break out of their shell.

Problems

"I'm having problems with my boyfriend. He just told me that he has been smoking yesterday and we've been going out 5 months plus. How can I trust him again? He always lies."

Dear Friend,

Be the best friend and try to make him quit smoking. Tell him how much you despise smoking. If he doesn't alter his behaviour, he is not worth investing your energy in. Find someone who will treat you with dignity and respect. Besides that, if he can lie about smoking, he can lie about more things other than just smoking. His lying behaviour is designed to bring you down, and you deserve better. We hope we helped you. :)

Problems

"I have a friend that I met last year. We were so close until we had a big fight. Beginning of the school year, we talk like usual, but suddenly the next week, the awkward silence begins, until now. Should I end our friendship?"
Dear Friend,

No friendship is meant to be ended. It seems like there is some sort of misunderstanding between you both. This is due to lack of communication. Although, we're not sure what was the big fight all about, it is not worth ruining your friendship. Try calling or talking to her. Identify the cause of this tension and what to do next. That's the best way to solve an argument. Also, never give up on your friends.

Problems

"I wrote this letter because I went for the PRS Interview, it really made me nervous to go through it or not. But, my main reason for writing this to tell you that I have a big problem which is I go through a lot of stress and my parents do not take care of me. But, the only person in my family that always cares for me is only my sister. My one and only sister. Her name is ______."

Dear Friend,

There is no reason for you to be under this much of stress. What is the cause of this stress? Since you have a very caring sister, you should talk to her about it. It would really help. Or, find something else to keep your mind of it like a new hobby. Write you problem down, listen to some music, or get busy. About your parents, what do you mean they don't take care of you? Be more specific next time when writing your letter so we can help you better. :)

Problems

"Hi, I have a problem. My problem is that I have Interact and Cheer on Monday and it is at the same time. Therefore, it clashes. I really want to be active in both activities. So how am I suppose to attend the activities? Please reply me. ASAP. Thanks."

Dear Friend,

We see that you are passionate about both Interact and Cheer. What we recommend you to do is, approach both of Interact and Cheer Club Presidents and inquire if you could attend meetings an alternate weeks. Say, this week you attend cheer, next week you'll be at Interact. Remember that all clubs and societies need effort and cooperation from ALL members, so you'll have to promise your clubs that you'll give them your everything despite having to miss alternate meetings. You'll have to train twice as hard for Cheer and put in double the effort for Interact to keep up with the club activities. It's not gonna be a walk in the park, but if you're really passionate for the two clubs, you'll make it. But, please please remember not to spread yourself too thin and when you feel you're had enough, cut down on your activities. At the end of the day, it is only worth it if you've enjoyed yourself.

To summarise everything we have told you, mainly you should reach a compromise with the President of both two clubs. Be fair to both clubs. If it doesn't workout, please don't hesitate to write to us again.

Problems

"I'm torn between Japanese and Interact. What should I do? Japanese is boring but Interact is demanding. TOO MUCH HOMEWORK! WHAT TO DO!"

Dear Friend,

If you find Japanese uninteresting, don't force yourself to attend classes. It is unfair to both you and your teacher if you attend classes against your will. When you get involve in something you have interest it, it won't feel like such a chore to attend classes/meetings. Also, even if Interact is demanding, it is all worthwhile being in at the end of the day. You can get a good CGPA score.

Now, about your homework. It's all about managing your time. Create a schedule and make sure you follow it. Homework is a part of growing up because it prepares us for our future. One more thing, don't look at things like a chore, look at it as something positive and fun.

Problems

"Hey, I'm in form 2, and I need some help and advice. I'm struggling in my homework!! What do I do?"

Dear Friend,

If you mean you're struggling with your homework as in you can't seem to find time to do your homework, we recommend you to make a schedule of when to do and what homework. MAKE SURE YOU STICK TO IT! This is when self-discipline comes in.

BUT, if you mean you have trouble understanding your homework/assignments, you could always approach a classmate or a friend to help you out. We PRS-es would love to help should you need help with homework. Look for a PRS who is in your Form. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance from a teacher or friend should you need any.

Problems

"I don't have enough time to do my homework. Sometimes I have too much of homework or sometimes I don't have any homework. When I don't have any homework I will be free and when I have homework I don't get a chance to sit and talk to my family members. I hope you PRS-es help me on my problem soon. Thank you."
Dear Friend,

It's all time allocation, honey. For when you are busy with homework, plan a schedule of when to do what homework/assignment. Your family will understand that you'll be busy with homework, but take opportunities like during dinner to chat with your family. Also, don't forget the weekends, you can catch up with them then.

INTERVIEWS WITH TEACHER; VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ

Click on the image to enlargen the picture.
Thank you.

Problems

"I have too many problems in my house. My parents have not been talking to me for 2 weeks and I feel very bad. Besides, I'm the only one in the family. If they do not speak to me, then who's gonna speak to me? The problem is, I showed my anger to my mum by throwing the plate to her. Will she forgive me?"

Dear Friend,

Family is the most important thing in the whole wide world especially parents. Plus, you are the only child that they have. To be honest, it is your fault and you should make the first move to apologize. You can create a card written 'SORRY', give it to her and hug her. Or be direct and just come out and apologize. Tell your mother how sorry you are and that you miss her a lot. We are sure she will forgive you, but you have to promise yourself to not repeat the same mistake again. Remember, your parents are the ones who took care of you since you were little. Be good to them and always respect them. Good luck!

We would also suggest you to approach our school counsellor in the Counselling Room (above the Staff Room in Block A) about your problem. We are here to help you help yourself.

Problems

"Hye PRS-es :)
I have a problem, a big problem :S So let's start, I am into shopping, like seriously. Last time, I go shopping every week. That's the only thing that makes me happy but now my parents need to cut my spending since they have to send my sister off to study abroad. I am so stressed. I miss shopping. :( HELP ME dear PRS-es!"

Dear friend,

Relax .... Your problem is not really a big problem. Who doesn't love shopping? As a girl, it's normal, but shopping every week is kinda overboard. Maybe as a student, you don't know how important money is. You can avoid shopping by finding a new hobby that does not need money. We suggest dancing, surfing the internet or even drawing. If you can't find any new interesting hobby, you can still go shopping but this time you should write down why you should buy that? Are you going to need it? Is it worth it? Am I gonna wear it? So that, you'll think first before buying something. And also, you must think about your sister, she needs more money than you do at this time. Remember, education is worth spending on too. :)

Masalah

"I nak beli phone baru, coz my phone takde bluetooth, ada infrared je. I nak handphone lain, yang ada bluetooth, 3G and yang hebat-hebat lah. Tapi, my mom and my sis cakap, "Kau kecik lagi, jangan nak menggedik." Arghh, tolonglah. " :(

Kepada sahabatku,

Kami memahami perasaan anda kerana kami juga pernah melalui perkara yang sama. Tetapi, cuba anda fikirkan mengapa anda sangat memerlukan handphone baru? Adakah kerana kawan-kawan anda memakai handphone yang canggih jadi anda juga mahu begitu? Jika anda terlalu inginkan handphone baru, anda boleh memintanya sebagai hadiah hari lahir ataupun hadiah jika anda berjaya mendapat keputusan yang baik dalam peperiksaan. Jika ibu bapa anda masih tidak mahu memberikannya sebagai hadiah, anda boleh mengumpul wang anda dan meminta ibu bapa anda menambah yang selebihnya untuk memiliki handphone baru. Ataupun, anda boleh mengumpulkan wang sendiri sehingga cukup. Selamat berjaya =)

"I'm not good in science and maths! How?"
"I not quite good in maths and science. How?"
Dear Friend,

We can't lie that Maths and Science are the important subjects and that they are quite hard to do at times. Here are some tips to be excellent in Maths and Science:

  • Give 101% attention to your teacher while she's teaching. Don't feel ashamed to ask anything that you didn't understand.
  • Do all your homework given and ask your friend or your teacher if you don't know how to do it.
  • Have a study group with your friends. Make sure there are at least 4 people in a group. It doesn't work if there is too many people.
  • Do a lot of exercise especially in Mathematics.
  • Attend tuition classes.
  • Make your own mini-notes so that you can read it anytime, anywhere and whenever you're free.
We hope that we helped you with your problem. Just try your very best. GOOD LUCK!

Problems

"Sometimes i feel as if my family underestimates me. Just this morning, my mother who always hated that my other family members say i'm irresponsible, called me the most irresponsible and lazy girl she's ever met. She didn't realize how much that hurt my feelings. All i asked was if i could go out with my friends and she answered harshly with that. I don't know what i did."

Dear friend,

We all know how it feels to be underestimated by our family members, and yes, it hurts. Remember though that there are always two sides to a story. Your mother could be under a lot of stress and was looking for help cleaning the house that day, maybe you approached her at a bad time. If you want to know what you did wrong to receive such treatment from her, sit her down and ask her gently, why she called you that and what prompted her to call you that? Once you get the answer, use it as something to work on for the next time you want to ask her a question such as whether or not you're allowed to go out with your friends and what not.

As for your other family members, maybe during dinner, when everyone is in a relatively good mood, you could bring up the fact that you don't like being underestimated and underappreciated in the household, and that you feel as though you deserve better treatment from everyone around you. Explain to them how you feel when they call you things like "irresponsible" and "lazy" and tell them that it hurts you to hear that from the people you love most.
