Annie Fox for Teens... Hey, Terra!

Hi there… How’s it going? Probably not all that great or you wouldn’t be here looking for help. No worries. Teens have been emailing me since 1997 because I give good advice. If you’ve got a problem with friends, so-called friends, a bf/gf, a parent, or anything else… email me. I can help you sort out your feelings. No matter what’s going on, you always have choices. And choices matter because sometimes the stuff we do to “fix” a problem only makes things worse. You don’t want to go there. Instead, let me help you figure out your next best move

In friendship,
Terra (aka Annie Fox)

“My girlfriend doesn't say 'I love you' anymore.”

 

“I saw his photo and I don't want to email him any more!”

Hey Terra,

I don't know what's wrong. My girlfriend doesn't say "I love you" to me anymore, and if I tell it to her, she only say "Me too." She gets mad when I show up at her house without telling her cuz I wanna surprise her. Then she tells me she can't go out or hang out any where when her parents are not home. One day she said that but I wanted to cheer her up so I showed up, but she wasn't alone. She was hanging out with her two friends, and the whole day she acted like she isn't my girlfriend. She got a job but she didn't tell me where, and then I had to find out from someone else after 2 weeks....

 

Hey Terra,

A lady at work asked was I seeing anyone, I replied NO, so she gave me her nephew's e-mail and we began mailing each other. He's bout 300 miles away, in a different state. We exchanged photos, and I know this is wrong of me but he is NOT a good looking man at all. I want to stop writing him, but I don't know how to do it without being rude. This will never work, because YES looks do mean something to me as well as personality. He does seem to be a nice guy, but not nice looking at all. It's not like I'm a beauty queen but I can't handle that.

Sorry for being selfish. Can you help me?

Sorry
