Hi there… How’s it going? Probably not all that great or you wouldn’t be here looking for help. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Teens have been writing to me since 1997 because they know I give good advice. If you’ve got a problem with friends, so-called friends, a bf/gf, a parent, or anything else that’s confusing… email me. I can help you sort out your feelings. No matter what’s going on, you always have choices. Some choices make 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)

Two sides of the story
December 29, 2011
Before I watched the sunset it was a normal Wednesday. David and I ate oatmeal and read the paper. I went on poop patrol in the yard. Drove to Spanish class. Filled up the car. And answered this email from a desperate teen:
Hey Terra,
I can't take it much longer. I like this boy and he has known for about 1 week now. We've known each other since 2nd grade. I hate when he dates other people but mostly this one girl and he's dating her again! He said he does things he don't want to for her and she put him through hell last time. I hate this cause if it happens again I'm going to be hurting because I love him so much. What do I do?
Desperately in Love
I wrote back:
Dear D in L,

Nobody is forcing the boy to date this girl.

I was a witness and I was forced to tell the police the truth. So I did the right thing and I told them the truth. When my friend found out she FREAKED out and told me that I was a liar and that she didn't do any of it. Then she said she doesn't want to be my friend anymore.

But I feel that I have always been a good friend to her. I don't know... |
“There's never going to be anyone else like her.”Hey Terra, I've been having trouble getting over my gf. At first, my friends were telling me that she was flirting with other guys. I obviously didn't believe them, and had a talk with her just to make sure she wasn't. We talked, and she denied that she was flirting with other guys, exactly what I wanted to hear. But, it wasn't till I saw it myself was I shattered. I was at a football game and I caught her cuddling with another guy, and they kissed before he left. I instantly approached her, heartbroken, and told her it was over... Now, its 3 months after... and I've been missing her soo much. She... |
