A/N: Just a little thing I've had stuck in my head for a while. I love Paige's character, but haven't really found a place for her in any of my other fics. I will add other episodes if this one is well received. Who am I kidding? I'll add new episodes anyway because I love writing Paige. Let me know if there's an episode you'd like to see the Dear Paige column from and I'll move it to the top of my list.

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi. I only wish I did.

Mother and Child Reunion:

Dear Paige,

I have been talking to this guy on-line for a while and I think I'm in love. He's not from around here, but he's going to be in Toronto this weekend. My friends don't think that I should meet with him because he's a little bit older. I don't know what to do. Should I go after the man of my dreams or listen to my friends? Thanks for your help!

Incoming Overachiever

Dear Incoming,

Hun, back it up just a little bit. You've never met this person and you're 'in love.' Doubtful. Everyone knows that love has to be with an actual person. Not a screen name. Hello, where do you think love at first sight comes from? That's right, first sight, not first e-mail. And everyone knows you can't have 'true love' until you've seen his ride.

As to an on-line guy in general, how do you know he's not some crazy stalker? Any guy that has to use the internet to find a girl is so obviously a loser in training. I mean, all sorts of things might be wrong with him, severe B.O. or horrible burns on strange parts of his body? I'm sure you're like, but I've seen his picture! Umm, yeah, my on-line profile has a picture of Lindsay Lohan. Not that I'm not already obviously hotter than her, but you get my point, right?

My final piece of advice is to always trust your friends. When you like somebody, your mind gets all cluttered and you do crazy things like trying to match polka dot tops with striped skirts. It's not pretty. But your friends know you really well and unless they're backstabbing edited by Grapevine staff (I was so going to type 'dogs') who just want your man, chances are they are just looking out for you. Unless you're friends with Heather Sinclair and then you should run screaming for the hills.

So, to sum up. Welcome to Degrassi, stay away from Heather Sinclair, trust your friends and no internet boyfriends – they are so the one-way track to loserville or worse.

Remember, I'm not mean, I'm right.

Cuddles!

Paige
