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 think he decided he was seeing too much of me. Now I am having language lessons with him once a week. In front of adults, "Evan" is horrid to me. He calls me mean things and says I'm too young to understand things.

Then when we are alone, he FLIRTS with me like there is no tomorrow! It bothers me because 1) I'd like him to pick a side and quit giving me mixed messages, and 2) I'm WAY too young for him to be flirting with me the way he...
