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 casually asked her once when she thinks I could "go out" in that way of just liking each other. She says I should be 14! To me...

 

Hey Terra,

All my friends are having these problems and I don't know what to do about them. It seems everything I try just ends up making things worse or just not helping at all!

My best friend is having some issues with this guy she likes, a ton. She's written here a few times, so this is where I got the idea to write to you!

Anyway, she really likes this guy, and she's liked him for like three years, even after he de-friended her and came crawling back to her out of the blue before Christmas. But anyway, he's been recently very confused about his sexuality and has gone from liking this other very...
