Dear Mr Bobcat, why is there a section in sports for cheer but not dance. The Madison Jr High Dance Team has an upcoming competition in Rigby that we want every on to see. Please add a section in sports for dance. Mr. Bobcat: Thank you so much for your feedback. One of our amazing rundown students is working extra hard to get the sports page redone. There is a dance page it just hasn't been published to the website yet. We are working extra hard to get it posted. Thanks for the feedback and we will get the new and improved sports page up and running as soon s possible.

I am so frustrated at the school right now. They have literally blocked every thing. I'm an half-online student and use a Chromebook from school. They have blocked YouTube so I couldn't even watch a video that was assigned to me. I want to know why its soooooooooo important to block every thing on our Chromebooks. Mr. Bobcat: I am sorry that you are frustrated :( The school unblocked YouTube, and you should be able to use it now! I know for me it was very frustrating too! I’m not 100% sure why they block stuff, but it can be annoying. Hopefully you can access the internet again! I heart you, and you are amazing! What's your question?
I feel like I have no purpose anymore. I had severe depression\suicidal thoughts last year and I feel like it’s coming back a little. I’ve been going to therapy for a year and my therapist is awesome but I don’t wanna keep going on anymore. Life is just getting harder for me and I feel like every morning I wake up is another morning I’m dragging my life on and I’m constantly pretending to be happy. I don’t play any sports so I’m basically bored as heck most of the time and I have what seems like so much drama going on. My best friend hates me and we weren’t the ones in a fight, it was her mom and my mom and my mom keeps saying “if they wanna keep being angry, they can but we have to move on, and if you and (BFF’s name) have a true friendship, she will put this past her. Im afraid she won’t tho and it’s gonna kill me if she doesn’t because we’ve been BFF’s for almost 5 years and I don’t wanna let all of that go…and to make it worse she’s in my ward so I see her at church and at mutual and I’m afraid if she doesn’t let this go, I’ll have to hold back tears every time I see her. I feel COMPLETELY hopeless. Mr. Bobcat: It sounds like you are dealing with a lot of stressors right now, and I’m concerned about the feelings of hopelessness and lack of purpose you shared in your letter. On top of that, feeling isolated and alone can make what you are experiencing worse. When you are struggling with feelings of hopelessness, despair, and depression it is helpful to get as much support as possible. Building your inner strength and resilience as well as increasing your outside support system are both important steps to help you get healthier. It sounds like you have a good therapist and your family may already be aware that you are struggling, but I’d also like for you to consider stopping in to the school counseling office. The school counselors can be a great resource when you’re here at school. They can help you learn about and implement healthy skills, offer an extra level of support, and/or help you build your inner and outer resources. Stop by and visit with one of them anytime. Sincerely, Mr. Bobcat Mr. Bobcat:
Dear Alone, I received your question. Thank you for sending it. Please visit with one of our incredible counselors in the counselors' office. Sincerely, Mr. Bobcat What's your question?
My friend is REALLY good at drawing! Like, REALLY good, and I like art as much as she does but whenever I look at her drawings, I feel like I’m really bad. I just wish I could be as talented as her. I don’t do anything interesting, I don’t play piano, I don’t do sports, art is all I have but it’s getting harder to keep going, especially if I just wanna support my friend. I don’t know what to do. Mr. Bobcat: Dear 😒, I understand exactly where you're coming from! I'm an artist myself and often compare myself to other artists. What I recommend is putting a positive spin onto the comparisons. Look at their art and notice what you like about it. Get specific! If you like their line art, for example, what do you like about it? Do you like that it's "scratchy" or "bold"? Do you like the "flowiness" or "sharpness" of their lines? Then apply it to you own art! Make it an opportunity to learn! You can even ask your friend to teach you if you want. Remember that there is no such thing as perfect. Your art is amazing because it's yours. No one else can make art like yours because you make it! I would love to see your art if you upload it to the "Student Artwork" section here at Madison Rundown! Keep creating, and best of luck! What's your question?
So I told this girl I liked her and she said she likes me back before Christmas break. When I come back she said she doesn't like me. I'm super confused and lost. I tried talking to her telling her we could just be friends but now she doesn't even want to be friends with me. I don't know what to do? Mr. Bobcat: I'm so sorry! This is not an easy thing to deal with. I think for one, you kinda dodged a bullet there. If she isn't going to treat you the way you deserve to be treated, she's not worth it. I know it can be hard to let go of someone that you really like but it will become a toxic relationship if she isn't going to put in the amount of effort you are putting in. I think if you really want to make this work, you need to have an honest talk with her and try to understand why she is acting the way she is. Good luck! You look amazing today! What's your question?
It seems as though everyone in school is too caught up in their own lives to care about what's going on with other people. I myself am going through a very hard family situation and I know I'm not the only one, but it seems like no one cares about their peers. So I think that the student body should be doing more to help and care about other students. Mr. Bobcat: Dear Undefined, Thank you for writing me. I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I think you're right--there are a lot of people that are struggling. I think we can definitely do better at watching out for others in general. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the things that we're going through, and we don't recognize the people around us. How do we fix it? Well, that's a tough one. I think we have to start with ourselves. If we set the example and go out of our way to focus on others, it will start a movement. As each person recognizes how our caring made them feel, they will do the same for someone else. The Hope Squad is dedicated to that exact thing. Please know that you can go to any of them at any time. What's Your Question?
I am not a very confident person and I want to make other friends but I think I will say something stupid and I couldn’t deal with that. I used to be so outgoing and made friends so easy but I went through a serious phase of depression for three years and now I’m so much more quiet than I used to be and I kinda hate that because I’m that one persons friends that nobody knows because all of my friends are popular and I resent myself for that some days and I tried changing my clothes and attitude to be cool and I ended up losing a group of friends that day but that’s what happens every time and I feel like I can’t change anything…😞 Mr. Bobcat: Dear Shy, When it comes to worrying about saying something stupid, try and remember that it's okay. It happens to everyone. Know you aren't alone when feeling like you aren't yourself or your friends don't seem to like the real you. It's not your fault. If anything, your friends are at fault. Try and be like how you used to be. Dive back into your memories and try and remember what you were thinking when you made friends easily and didn't worry about saying something stupid. Don't change your appearance to make others like you more, change your appearance to make you like you more. Wear what you feel like wearing. Try and find friends who don't judge you for you. I suggest trying something new. Join a completely new group that has a wide variety of people and figure out who you vibe with the most. Temporarily forget your shy self. Then see how you act with strangers who don't know you, and that's probably the real you. Remember that it's completely okay to be shy, that it's completely human to embarrass yourself every little while. Change is okay. If other people don't like you, move on to someone that does.

I love my mom but she is always so critical of me and it makes me feel like I am ugly. I want to spend time with her and be her friend but whenever I am with her, I am scared she will notice my imperfections. she loves me but not how I look. I feel like if she had it her way, I would look way different. I wish she would just love me however I chews to look. What should I do? Mr. Bobcat: Dear Ugly, I'm so sorry you’re feeling this way. I understand how you feel, and it's a really hard feeling, but everybody has imperfections. You said you know your mom loves you but not the way you look. Personally, I think you need to try more to focus on yourself as a person instead of the way you look. Something that I think might help is to build an imaginary shield around your heart, let the negativity just bounce off, whether it's from your mom, your friends or anyone. Just try your best to not take it personally, and instead try to surround yourself with the healthy relationships in your life. I know it is hard. Another thing you could do is communicate with your mom and tell her how she is making you feel with the negative comments she makes. You got this! Remember that you are beautiful and that true beauty comes from within. Good luck! -Mr. Bobcat What's your Question?
There is this kid in my class I have a massive crush on and he doesn't really know me but the hard thing is he knows my BFF and they would look really cute together and think he likes my BFF but she doesn't like back so that makes it even harder. What do I do?! Mr. Bobcat: Hey Stressed! This is a really sticky situation you are in! My best advice would be to do what makes you happy. If your friend doesn't like him, tell him. But when you tell him, put yourself into the picture. Say something like “you deserve someone who will treat you right. Someone like me!” Tell him you like him cuz you never know what's going on in his head. He could like you back and you just don't see it. |
