Here is the bonus this week's Dear Abby. 2,000 words of my short story and still going.

Dear Abby,

I broke up with my boyfriend "Lin". Lin has many anger issues, plus he is so impatient. At this party he freaked out just because I talked to some guys. I could no take him anymore. I broke up with Lin, the sad truth is he is still all over me. I'm trying to act cold, but he doesn't seem to get the message. We trashed this party, and went to the beach and talked. The sad thing is that Lin and I made up. I'm confused about our relationship.

Confused and in love

Dear Confused,

You sound like a teenager. Most teen relationships have ups and downs to them. I recommend that you talk about your emotions to each other. It seems to me you guys need couple's counseling to overcome these problems and become a happy couple.

Dear Abby,

Just the other day my friends and I were talking on the beach, and the subject came along about our past. I hate my past, Abby. I had six sisters who all looked the same, and I never got any attention. Because I didn't get any attention of my own, I joined the circus. My friends laughed at me for joining the circus. If this happens in the future, how I ignore this subject?

Painful pink past

Dear Painful,

Whenever this subject comes up again, smile nicely and say you wish not to discuss this topic. I hope they listen.

Dear Abby,

I'm sixteen years old boy. I feel very depressed. I had a harsh break up with my girlfriend, but this isn't the problem. The problem is that I'm confused. I have no idea what right and wrong are. I hate myself, because of all of the things that I have done in the past.

Troubled Teen

Dear Troubled,

I think that your emotional state lies within the built up of many things of your past. Breaking up with your girlfriend would have been the last straw of your emotional tolerance. Knowing what is right or what is wrong is all about moral values, since everyone's morals are different. If you can't tell what is right and wrong go to a priest or a clergyman at your temple. If you don't have a religious preference then I suggest you go and see a concellor or a psychologist to help with your emotional problems. The tone of your letter seemed like you have low self-esteem. To make your self-esteem higher participate in activities that you are good at.
