Dear Will,

I am into sports and I have loads of friends. I'm at my friends' houses a lot, and my sports take two hours out of my evenings after school. With all this, I have hardly any time to do my homework, unless I stay up until one in the morning. I don't want to quit my sports because people will think I'm a lazy bum, but I'm not. So, if I tell my parents, they'll make me quit. I can't tell them. My grades are dropping little by little. What am I supposed to do?

Sincerely,

FutureF

Dear FutureF,

Well, you could try to not go to your friends' houses as much. Or try to do your homework during the day, like at lunch. And if you have a long bus ride, then you can try to do it on your way home. And if you still don't get it finished, you can leave a couple minutes of work time to do it the next morning on the bus. Some people, though, can't do this. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate, and even harder to write. But if you can take a CD player with soothing music to play, and a folder or notebook to write on, then you'll probably do okay. If this still doesn't help, I'm sorry, but you might have to just go ahead and quit your sports. But, I hope something I just told you would help and you won't have to give anything up.

Sincerely,

Will


Dear Irma,

Oh my goodness! I'm going to be psychotic one of these days! I just know it! I'm in stinking love with a boy from my school, yet there's this really weird geek that won't stop leaving me alone and he practically asks me out every day of his life! He wants me to go to a movie with him. I don't want to! I like this other boy and he doesn't like me! I think it's because he thinks I'm a geek because of the geek who likes me! What can I do? I feel like strangling that kid!

Dear Geek-Loved & Popular, Hot-Guy Crazy (a.k.a. the author),

I think you're taking this a little too seriously. You probably just have what is called 'puppy love' with that guy, and the so-called 'geek' won't probably like you that much longer. You should just try to explain to the geek that you really, really don't like him and he's ruining your life! No, I'm just kidding. You could say though that because of him liking you, someone else won't go out with you. That might help. He might back off then because he'll see he's making you mad and sad. And for the hot guy, just keep trying. It's worth a shot – or a million.

Sincerely,

Irma


Dear Taranee,

I love Math and I'm really good at it. I don't know why I like it so much, but I just love writing down numbers and making equations and stuff like that. My friends think differently. They make fun of me because I like it. They don't make fun of me because I'm good at it, because that'd be mean; they just tease me because I like it. I want to like it. I don't want to lie and say that I don't. But I want them to stop teasing me. What should I do or say to make them stop? Please help. Please.

Sincerely,

Dear EMC2,

Nice name by the way. It sounds like it suits you. You just need to explain to your friends that you're getting tired of them teasing you and if they were your true friends, they wouldn't make fun of you for something you like. Then say something about what they like. If you know of something that's kind of odd that one of them likes, then start making fun of them and ask how they like it – but don't be too mean about it and don't do it forever or you might loose some friends. Just do it until they say they'll stop making fun of you. Hope that helps and good luck!

Sincerely,

Taranee


Dear Cornelia,

I have a little brother and he annoys me to death! Don't get me wrong, I'd take my life for him, but he's so annoying for crying out loud! He is always pestering me to play videogames with him. A lot of the videogames are really stupid too, considering he's six years old. What can I do?

Dear NOT Kage-Ichihashi,

By the way your name is, I'm going to guess that you actually ARE Kage-Ichihashi. But don't worry; I don't know who you are. Anyway, why don't you set a limit to how long you play with him? And only play certain games? Then some wouldn't disturb you and you would have time to do other things – like thinking of better names.

Sincerely,

Cornelia


Dear Hay Lin,

My Grandma comes over to my house about once a week. She likes to hug me – A LOT! She is always pinching my cheeks and squeezing me until I can't breathe. What can I do!

Sincerely,

Will-Die-of-Suffocation

Dear Will-Die-of-Suffocation,

That's a difficult one. Hmm… maybe you could just politely ask her to not squeeze you as hard… because… you have asthma! YAY! I'm sorry… but just try to talk to her about it. Oh, and if you do suffocate and you are sent to the hospital, please send me your room number so I can come visit you!

Sincerely,

Hay Lin

Dear Hay Lin,

She's in room 312B.
