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)

“I've been thinking about suicide.”

 

“I don't get to see him very much!”

Hey Terra,

My friend told me that I had to get some help from a psychologist. Look, my life right now really sucks. It all started 2 years ago. My dad went to jail. Then I ended up with my grandfather but then he got sick and died. Those things really hurt me no matter how long it's been, I still cry and stuff. No one really knows because I don't really like to show my feelings. Now I pick up a knife and start to like cut myself. I've noticed myself thinking about suicide.

Crazed

 

Hey Terra,

Well I'm with a guy that lives 23 miles away and I don't get to see him very much and when we talk on the phone he never wants to talk more than 30 minutes, unless he is on the phone with me and a friend at the same time. What I'm trying to say is how can we make a schedule for us to meet and him keep his word to it and doesn't forget it and plan something else, cause I really love him a lot.

Confused
