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,
I understand that you love this guy and you're very upset when he's "put through hell" by his girlfriend. But there are two sides to this story. Let me tell you about the other one.
Nobody is forcing the boy to date this girl.

I don't know how to tell my dad that I love someone who doesn't want to meet him without hurting his feelings. I also have a problem with my boyfriend's mom because she doesn't like me. Every time me and my boyfriend talk on the phone she calls me names. I would really like you to help me on this problem if you can. PLEASE! Because I am really confused. What a Mess! |
“Getting over a broken heart (bf/gf).”Hey Terra, Me and my boyfriend aren't together... but he said he wanted to be with me but he can't because he's afraid that he's gonna cheat on me and he doesn't want that to happen. He said we will get back together but he has to stop doing what he was doing then he will get back with me. Well, there's this girl in his classes and he likes her and wants to go out with her. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should move on or ask him if we are ever gonna get back together and if he says yes what should I do? All I do now is cry because I know he likes another girl... and i don't want that. I... |
