Support Your Sisters!

As females, we can be really hard on each other with our criticism and negative talk; we should be there to support each other. We may have different family backgrounds or cultures, but in a lot of ways we are alike. We want the best for ourselves and we should want the same for others, too. We shouldn't feel less than if we feel someone has more than we do. Others' talents can serve as a positive example of what we can achieve for ourselves.

So, if you're not sure how to support the girls around you, start with some of these suggestions:

1. Congratulate someone when they do well in a class or get accepted to the high school or college of their choice.

2. Compliment someone you don't know on something you think looks cool: hair, shoes, clothes.

3. Listen, if your BFF is having a bad day, and think of something fun you can do together.

4. Call someone to let them know you're thinking about them. If talking on the phone is not your thing, a text, Facebook or twitter message will do.

5. Show your support by going to see a friend or family member if she has a performance or is planning an event.

These are a few ways you can "show some love" for your friends. It will make you feel great and let your friends know that you have their back, 100 percent!
