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.

“My sister is causing problems for the whole family!”Hey Terra, My sister is hanging out with the wrong friends. Every time she hangs around them, she ends up coming home all cranky. When this happens my whole family gets in a fight, and I end up going to bed with a migraine. How can I get her to stop being so immature? Stressed Brother |
“I don't trust my mom's boyfriend.”Hey Terra, My mom started dating this new guy about a month ago. I've grown up without a dad...so it's really weird. I snooped and saw some emails back and forth between them. One of them said: "Hey there HOT babe!" And then he was talking about marriage. That just shocked me. I have talked to this guy 2 times in person. I know it was wrong of me to read her emails, but I'm not sure this guy's for her. He just seems mysterious and it kind of scares me. I don't want to see my mom hurt and I don't want anything to be rushed. I'm really uncomfortable around him but I try not to show it. Finally I talked... |
