Uh-oh, looks like someone needs an age adjustment. Tantrums are for two-year-olds, not teens, and you might have noticed that they don't help to get you out of trouble. Next time something annoys you or you do something wrong, try using your head and staying calm rather than exploding and creating more problems for yourself. Pick up the August issue of Girlfriend magazine (Miranda Kerr cover) for more advice on how to get out of trouble like a grown up.

Mostly Bs: Growing Pains
You don't react to things like a total child, but you do have your moments of immaturity. If you remember that honesty is the best policy and (sincere) apologies are the way to go, you'll be on your way to handling trouble like a mature young adult instead of some annoying little kid! Check out the August issue of Girlfriend magazine (Miranda Kerr cover) for some more helpful hints on getting the adult treatment.
