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 mom and step-dad had a fight that lasted all day.”

 

“My parents seems to think I'm an adult!”

Hey Terra,

I have been kinda mad at my step-dad because him and my mom got in the biggest argument and it lasted for a whole day. They got over it but they take it as since they got over it, the kids are over it. But I wasn't. He was acting all stupid and when my brother's not here because I think he knows that my bro will take down anybody that will try to hurt the family.

Fighting Family

 

Hey Terra,

I'm having a problem at home. I'm always working and doing chores. I would for once just like to be 16 and my parents seem to think I'm an adult. How do I tell them that I need a life of my own? Things get even worse on the weekends. Friends get to go shopping while I clean and get yelled at. What should I do?

Exhausted
