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 =)

Problems

"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.

Problems

"Hi, i have a problem. My email just got hacked and i'm making a big fuss out of it. My life depends 50% on my email. Should i hack back into my account? Or should i just leave it alone and make another account?"

Dear friend,

I would suggest making a new email address and this time, really secure your password.

Problems

"My parents call me emo for a bad thing, my friends call me emo for a good thing. What should i think it as? I don't want the title as emo girl. I am different in a way, but i do not want to be called as emo. PS: I do scary things."

Dear friend,

I hope you don't mind me asking but what do you mean by "i do scary things"? Maybe that's why the people around you are labeling you as Emo Girl. Another question that i would like to ask is, why do you do the scary things that you do? Maybe your friends and family realize what you're doing and are worried about you, which is why they're calling you Emo Girl. They want to help you but are unsure of how, so they have labeled you as this to make it easier for them to identify the problem.

Friend, if there is a reason why you do the scary things that you say you do, please don't hesitate to talk to your family, friends or even one of us about it. Do know that we are all here for you always.

Masalah

"Saya mempunyai masalah dengan ibu saya. Dia selalu memarahi saya kerana selalu mendengar lagu-lagu Korea dan menonton cerita Korea, tetapi itu telah menjadi salah satu tabiat saya. Saya rasa susah nak buang pulak -.- Tolong beri cadangan macam mana nak hilangkan tabiat ini."

Kepada sahabatku,

Setiap orang memang mempunyai hobi mereka tersendiri. Namun begitu, kita mesti pandai mengimbangkan masa yang diluangkan untuk hobi itu agar tidak keterlaluan. Dalam kes anda, saya rasa anda tidak perlu membuang tabiat ini, tetapi sebaliknya kurangkan masa yang anda luangkan menonton cerita Korea tersebut. Cuba anda berkompromi dengan ibu anda; contohnya anda hanya akan menonton 1 episod setiap minggu dan mendengar lagu Korea pada hujung minggu sahaja. Jangan biarkan tabiat anda ini menjejaskan kehidupan anda di rumah dan sekolah.

Problems

"I'm not happy with my class's condition. I feel that not many students in my class worry or rather care at all about my class's cleanliness."

Dear Friend,

Sometimes in a situation, it starts with one person to start and the others will follow. Encourage your classmates to clean the class or tell your AJK Kebersihan to remind your classmates to do their duties. You have to lead through example, so take the first initiative to keep your class clean. Remember, if your class is dirty you will be fined RM10 and after a while your class fund will be depleted. Just keep on trying everyday for a cleaner classroom.

Problems

"Teachers look down on the weak class in this school. When they do that, we feel stupid and useless. They shouldn't do that."

"Hey PRS, you know that I'm like in the stupid class and like the teachers look down on us as if we're so dumb. Its hard for us to learn since the teachers look down on us. So, how ah?"

Dear Friend,

Always remember to never give up or lose hope. Take the teacher's criticism positively because at the end of the day, they want you to SUCCEED in life. This is the time where you and your classmates have to step it up and work harder in your studies. Prove to them that you too can excel in exams. Also, be optimistic not pessimistic when approaching obstacles in life.

Masalah

"Saya tidak hadir ke sekolah pada hari Jumaat lepas. Saya telah menanyakan kerja rumah kepada rakan saya. Dia menyatakan bahawa pada hari tersebut tiada kerja rumah. Akhirnya pada hari ini, saya dimarahi oleh Guru Sains kerana tidak menyiapkan kerja rumah yang diberi. Saya cuba menerangkan hal sebenar, tetapi cikgu tetap mengatakan bahawa saya malas! :( "

Kepada sahabatku,

Setiap kali anda tidak hadir ke sekolah anda perlu menanyakan kerja rumah daripada rakan yang anda percaya mengambil perhatian dalam kelas. Tambahan pula, bertanyalah daripada beberapa orang rakan supaya anda dapat memastikan sama ada kerja rumah itu adalah betul dan tepat. Kadangkala, rakan-rakan kita juga lupa akan kerja sekolah yang guru bagi. :)

Suggestion

"We are in Form 1, we would like to give cadangan to make SRI AMAN a better school. That teachers are in plan to label the canteen tables according to classes which will discourage the students from making friends from other classes. Please help us."

Dear Friend,

Well, the main reason they want to label the canteen tables according to classes is so that the girls will learn to keep the canteen clean. You can still sit with your friends from other classes, but just make sure you keep your class table clean. It is all for a good cause. Also, you make new friends anywhere, not only in the canteen during recess. Happy recessing!

Cadangan

"Menukarkan Hari PRS (Jumaat) kepada hari lain. Ada murid yang tidak berpeluang menyertai PRS kerana ada kelas Jepun. Harap dapat menukarkan hari itu dengan segera."

Kepada sahabatku,

Hari PRS tidak boleh ditukarkan kepada hari lain kerana hari-hari lain sudah penuh dengan aktiviti kokurikulum yang lain. Oleh itu, saya ingin mensyorkan anda, jika anda betul-betul ingin menyertai PRS, masuklah pada tahun seterusnya iaitu ketika anda dalam Tingkatan 2. :)

Problems

"I think that the juniors are super rude and they need to understand the Sri Aman culture that we need to respect the seniors. I mean the form 1."

"Why all the form 1 girls don't know how to respect the seniors. Even if they accidentally bump us, they don't know how to say sorry. They claim that we don't respect them but OBVIOUSLY we can't if they don't respect us!"

Dear Friend,

We face this problem every year, about the juniors not respecting the seniors. The only way to solve this problem is for us to respect each other and live harmoniously. Learn to apologize if you do something wrong and respect your elders. Remember, RESPECT others if you want to be respected.

Love,
PRS SRI AMAN
