Letter: my dad always do bad stuff in net and i see him but iam soo scared to tell mum then if they divorced i will be the proplem what i do i need your help please

My Advice: When it's a matter with your parents, don't stress over it, it's not your job to. Since you don't feel comfortable with telling your mom, maybe you could just talk to your dad about it personally and let him know you're seeing things that he's doing and ask him why. If you're scared to talk about it period just leave it alone. If it continues your mom will eventually find out somehow anyway. But don't be afraid they'll get a divorce, some things parents are able to just talk about, work out, and things will eventually get better after it happens.

Letter: Hey Shellz, I am ready to start babysitting, and I took a class so I know what I am doing, but I am having trouble finding people that I can babysit for. Do you have any suggestions on how I could advertise a little? Thanks!

My Advice: You could try putting an ad in the newspaper for it. Also, if you have family and friends that knows people with children ask them if they could maybe tell people if they are in need of a babysitter. Realistically, people are usually skeptical about letting people keep their kids especially if they don't know them, if you do ads or something you may want to mention you are licensed and you're professional since you took a class on it. The best thing to do would be to start by just putting an ad in the newspaper, tell other people and let it get around some and most likely people will start calling you. When you get at least 2, they will probably tell other people about it and it'll get around more somehow, you just have to make the effort to get it out there yourself first.

Letter: Okay well i'm really talented, i can sing, act, dance, model (runway, commercial even!) and i'm an incredible writer. I can make up fiction like THAT! lol. i live in dallas, texas which is where most disney stars got discovered (like selena gomez) so i'm not totally discouraged. But my dad / mom will never take me to an audition, it's not that they don't want to, there's just no time and it's just no their thing. they won't get me an agent even if i ask cause it's not a money-spending priority. If you got discovered sitting home, bored on your couch i'd be a millionaire right now. PLEASE HELP ME!

My Advice: Since this is a matter with your parents and their decisions of your family's values there is not much I can say. I do know that you do not or should not have to pay money to be a star. I have learned that agencies/scouts that ask for money up front are usually a rip off and a waste of time. Soon you will get to an age where you can drive (if you aren't already) and you'll be able to take yourself to auditions, so I'd say just keep practicing and getting even better at your talents because you never know, your parents might have a change of heart and take you to an audition, so don't stop because of that just keep going because if they are things you love to do and are good at, I'm sure you will get to do them, but just not now.

Letter: I'm trying to become a star and i want to start by posting videos on youtube. I'm 12 now and i want to start going to auditions, etc when i'm 13-14. I mean, if somebody asks me to play a part while i'm still 12, i'll do it, but yeah. But here's the thing, i don't have a camera so i don't really know how to upload my videos. I will settle for something that doesn't include my face, but it just records my voice..any suggestions?

My Advice: Since you don't have a camera, just using your voice is still a good idea. You have a youtube account already, so you should create an audio introducing yourself and your talents, maybe do different voices or dialects with your voice. Go to this website and maybe practice some of those monologues and record your voice with them and upload it to your youtube account. Also, there are certain people on youtube that are always looking for voice overs for their youtube shows. On youtube, try looking up "voice over auditions" or "voice overs needed", something along those lines. These tips would be a great way to build on your acting skills and if you stay dedicated and it's possible you could get your name out there.

Letter: Okay, this is a serious problem. See, i want to be a disney channel star and i will be but i'm not as of right now. So anytime i see a new star that's successful, i get jealous and angry. I just think that the current stars especially miley cyrus don't deserve their fame. You know demi lovato? i love her and i'm in love with her voice and personality! but sometimes i get so angry and jealous because I want to be a star. How should i control this?

My Advice: Well, jealousy is one of those things you can't really control. The way I see it, when you're jealous, it usually occurs when you're unhappy about something with yourself and someone else has what you want. So, it could be just the fact that those stars have already made it where you want to be and I can understand that. There is no easy way to control jealousy but I can suggest just practice and get good at what you want to do and work hard to get there to become that. Go to as many open auditions and casting calls as you can, like don't miss out on anything and eventually someone will discover your talent and you'll be on your way.

Letter: My problem is pretty straight forward- I can't stop eating. Like, whenever I see a food I like (which is usually junk), I just have to eat it. I love eating, but I'm really starting to put on weight. I'm too young for a proper diet, too. I'm not too obsessed about my weight, but it's getting to me now. How do I stay away from a lot of junk food and chocolate?

My Advice: Well, junk food is always going to be there and there'll be temptation pretty much anywhere you go but you have to learn how to have self-control. If you eat something and know you shouldn't necessarily eat it, then try working out to work the calories back off. The most important thing to have though is self-control and self-discipline before other things. You're never too young to start eating healthy because if you don't start when you're young the habits are only going to get worse when you're older and it'll be harder to have self-control. If possible, don't buy junk food, get foods that are healthier for you and aren't so high in calories and higher in protein. Another tip is don't eat after 6. If you eat after 6, eat something light like crackers or yogurt don't eat really heavy meals because most of the time you're not going to be as active in the later hours of the day. Also, stay as active as you can, it doesn't matter what it is, keep your body active, don't sit around because weight is accumulated faster that way. The more active you are the more fat and calories you'll burn. Another thing I would suggest is eat small meals. You don't necessarily have to eat heavy meals during the day (if it applies to you at all). So, the main thing is just self-control, that's what you have to start with and the rest will fall into place most likely depending on your dedication.
