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)

“Can birth control pills make you act 'crazy'?”

 

“I miss my best friend.”

Hey Terra,

Lately I've been crying hard. I'm not really sure why. I've also been sensitive to things my boyfriend, family says to me. The littlest things! More so w/ my boyfriend, and I'm not sure if I've been crying for no reason or there might be a reason. But when I'm around people I'm okay. I don't want to talk to my bf or family because they might think I'm crazy and so I hide my eyes from them. But is it because of these oral contraceptive pills I'm taking or am I depressed or something? Please help me out.

What's going on?

 

Hey Terra,

My friend and I were sooo super close in 7th and 8th grade. But then in 10th grade this other girl came and they became closer than ever. And from what she says it is because they have a lot in common and they know a lot of the same people and mainly because they are the same race. Well it hurts me because I love them both but they lie to me sometimes to just hang out with each other. What do I do???? I miss having my best friend.
