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)

“How do I not say something boring or stupid?”

 

“Even though he cheated I still love him.”

Hey Terra,

I get really nervous when I talk to this girl I like. I don't want to sound boring or stupid to her. I want to sound like cool, if you know what I mean. How can I feel the same way when I talk to her as I do when I talk to everyone else? Should I just imagine that she was just another girl and try and talk to her about the stuff that I talk to other girls about??

Un-loved

 

Hey Terra,

I'm 13 years old and I'm not one of these girl who fall in love the first day but this last guy I was with I really did love him. I was going to have sex with him and everything then he cheated on me but, I didn't break up with him. Then he did it again and my friends broke up with him for me. Now I still like him but I don't think that he likes me. But I want to tell him in a letter how much he hurt me. And also that he had something good with me and that he needs to realize it. I don't know what to do.

Lost without Him
