Dear American Girl,

I blush all the time, which is already embarrassing, but I

have a friend who laughs at me whenever it happens, and

that makes it 10 times worse. How can I stop blushing, and

how can I get her to stop teasing me?

Red Face

Blushing is your body’s way of reacting to stress. Some people sweat,

some people shake, some people (like you) blush. And as you already

know, when someone points out your blushing, it only makes your

cheeks burn brighter. The next time your friend laughs, try saying, “I

feel even more embarrassed when you point it out. I wish you wouldn’t

do that.” Let her know that the friendliest thing she can do is ignore

your flushed face and change the subject. That will give you a chance

to cool your hot cheeks by taking lots of deep breaths or splashing

them with cold water.
