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 lost my best friend to drugs.”

 

“How can I tell if a girl likes me?”

Hey Terra,

This morning, I was looking for my bf at his house, but he wasn't home. I got worried. I drove to his (pothead) friend's house. I rang the bell and his friend came to the screen door (the wooden door was open so I could see inside and I could smell marijuana). He told me that my bf wasn't there. But I saw someone move in the reflection of the glass on the screen door. I realized it was my bf standing around the corner inside the house listening!

My bf's been telling me that he has not smoked weed in 5 months. I wonder how many other lies he really told me.

I gave up and went home. My parents...

 

Hey Terra,

How do I know if a girl likes me or not? Because I have Aspergers Syndrome, my social troubles and lack of experience make it even more difficult for me to "read social cues" that are obvious to others. I have a few friends but even those are not in-depth like the ones my peers talk and write about in Literature class. I've read many nonfiction books on the subject, which only leads to more questions instead of answers.

Thank you for your help.
