Dear Classroom,
If it is what you really want to do, I would follow your dreams. Were you good at Spanish? If you were good, I would consider going back, but if not, good luck in show buisiness!

Okay, well...there is this teacher, let's call him Mr. Somebody. Mr. Somebody...well, he isn't really a teacher, but he just works with the guidance counsler in my school. Mr. Somebody is a very freaky guy. It doesn't show to many people...but he just seems like he would be one of those molesters to the younger girls. He looks at me weird and it always seems like he is staring at me and it makes me very uncomfortable...the guidance counslers office used to make me very comfortable but now my stomach churns whenever I think about it. It's not like he's done anything, but its just the way he is and I dont know where to turn. I don't want to talk about it to anybody because I don't want to blow this out of proportion because sometimes that's what i do and I don't know if I'm just judging incorrectly. But one day I was in the guidance counslers office and he came in and my stomach churned and we shook hands when we were introduced to each other and it was just so uncomfortable becasue he gripped so tight and it felt like the handshake lasted for minutes.He just made me feel so uncomfortable and when my guidance counsler talked to me i felt his eyes on my back and it made me nervous. And then that day in gym class and he came up to me when i was sitting down on the floor and kneeled and out is hand on my shoulder and was like "Blah blahs gonna pick you up today ok?" and he smiled and I backed away and nodded. And then later my guidance counsler came up to me and was like blah blahs gonna pick you up today okay? And I told her I already heard and she was like "Oh you did?" and i think that Mr. Somebody just overheard the phone conversation between my dad and my guidance counsler and decided to use it as an excuse to see me or something. I know that sounds crazy, strange and unlikey but you dont see how this guy is...what should I do because I dont think this guy is your average clean cut guy...he just seems so weird and I dotn wanna see him...I give him dirty looks, not meaning to but whatever...and there was also another incident that occured but I'll tell you about that in another letter it will be entitled "About Mr. Somebody continued"
Please help me...what should I do? (link)

Dear Scared-Of-Mr.-Somebody,
Have you talked to your parents about what has been going on? If you sit down with them, they may be able to call the school and talk to the guidance counselor that you do feel comfortable around.
When the school hires somebody, no matter what, most schools do background checks. You can't be just an anybody to work with kids in a school.
If you still think that something is wrong, and you don't want to talk to anyone about it, talk to Mr. Somebody himself. Tell him that you don't like the way that he acts around you- and you would not like him to touch you and look at you like he does. Talking to him about these things may actually help you- and not hurt you. If none of that helps, seach online for a helplinen...I'm sure that there are many possibilities out there. Also check with your friends---see if they feel the same way abour Mr. Somebody as you do.
Hope This Helps!
Good Luck!
Signed,
Britney

I am a fast runner you see and I got asked to run this thing called the turkeytrot, but Iave to run in front of the whole school. I am araid of getting lastplace should I still run? (link)
|
Dear Should I Run,
If your embarrassed that you may get in last place, don't sweat it. Your running; and apparantly they aren't if they are just watching. Practice some good comebacks to say to them if they bug you about it. If it really bothers you, talk to your parents, school counselor, or teachers...they'll makes sure everything goes okay. If you are a fast runner- unless you are having a bad day, I am 99.9% sure that you won't be in last place at the end of the race. Just remember to PACE YOURSELF! :-)
Good Luck at the race!

will i like this boy and i think he likes me but im not sure.how can i tell? are there any signs? please help me. (link)
|
Dear Boyfriend,
If you think that he likes you, there is a 50/50 chance that he does. Does he sit with you a lot? Does he talk to you a lot? Does he stare at you? Take a look at him and really watch what he does-you should be able to tell if he really likes you.
Good Luck!

Dear Help,
Try to make a fun kit. A fun kit consists of fun things to do for the kids. Include coloring books, stuffed animals, games without small pieces, etc. Visiting www.babysitting.8m.com can also give you some ideas on what to do, and it will also tell you what else to include in your fun kit. Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

there's this guy (yeah, yeah, i know it's not original, but it makes sense this way!) i've liked nearly all this year, and i think he likes me. he's showing all the signs (e.g. choosing seats near me, watching me, then turning away when i see him, etc.) but i'm not sure. see, i nearly always sit near my friend, and i'm sometimes not sure if it's me he wants to be near or watch, etc., or her.i know the obvious solution would be to not sit near my friend, and see what he does, but i don't want to. i really believe in that saying about not choosing guys over your friends, and i don't want to just ditc her. (btw, she doesn't know that i like this guy. we're not close enough for that, but we've been frinds for seven years or something. she's not all that close with anyone else in the class) what would you do if you were me? also, i'm kinda shy sometimes, so i don't wanna just ask him. i know this doesn't leave many options, but... (link)

Dear Me or my Friend,
I have went through this same problem a few years ago. The best way to do things is to make time for both of them. Sit between your friend and your guy. If you and your friend have been friends for 7 years, maybe if you tell her about this guy, she will understand.
Good Luck!

If you babysit four little kids by yourself for three hours, around how much should you be getting paid? (link)
|
Dear Payment,
The rate for babysitters varies for different areas, but I charge $3.50 an hour for 1 child. .50 cents extra for each additional child every additional hour.

I've been living on my own for a while but now I'm thinking about moving in with a girl I work with, because frankly I'm bored living on my own. Will I get sick of the roommate thing really fast or what? Before I always thought roommates where what you got if you couldn't afford to live alone... I can afford it, I'm just lonely. (link)
|
Dear Lonely,
If you think that you are really ready to live with someone else, I would confront the girl that you want to live with about it first. Maybe she doesn't like the whole idea. If she is up for it, I would say give it a good. It may take some adjusting, since you are used to living alone. If things aren't working out after you are living together, you could either move back to living with yourself, or try finding another roommate.
Good luck!

how can i convince my friends to help me move? should i offer food? entertainment? a "i'll help you move" coupon? when's a good time to ask this sort of thing? i'm trying to borrow their trucks too, so i need to do some major sucking up here :) (link)
|
Dear Moving,
This may sound just downright rude, but it's the only way that I can say this. If they are your friends, they should help you move, without you having to offer them anything. Trucks may be a different story, because of their parents needing them for work or something. But helping to move? Your friends should be offering YOU their help...and you shouldn't have to be begging them. If they really can't help, I would consider paying for a "mover" to come in. He will move everything into trucks and deliver it to your new location for you.
Good Luck!

So here's the deal. I have never had a g/f. But I have a very nice personality and I am very very funny. Whats wrong. HELP (link)
|
Dear HELP,
Since there is no info about you, I can't exactly answer this question. Depending on your age, girls may not be interested in any guy. If you are old enough, think about some things through before you judge yourself as a bad person. Do you really want a girlfriend? Having a girlfriend means having a lot more responsibilities...calling her on the phone, sitting with her at lunch, everything. Think things through first before you decide on attracting a girlfriend. If you are sure that you are totally ready, maybe you should ask the girl, instead of waiting for her to ask you. Girls love to be complimented, so at the next dance, turn up your charm, don't be shy, and start dancing.
Good Luck!

I own all this awesome modern purple furniture, but my realitor just showed me a house decorated in traditional hunter green. Think I'll be able to make it work, or should I not even think about it? I can't afford to have carpets and wallpaper replaced, but I really like this house. (link)
|
Dear New With The Old,
I wish I could help you- but I can't. When it comes to a matter like this, it has to be what you personally like. If you can, bring a small swatch of paint that is the purple color of your current house with the modern purple furniture. Ask to see the house again, and take that color swatch with you. Hold it up to the furniture and carpets inside the new traditional house that you like. If the coloring looks like it works, then you should be good to go. If not, and you dont have the money to re-do things, keep your options open for a new home...something better just might come around...
Good Luck!

I'm 16 and my family still makes me sit at the kid's table at holiday dinners. They act like it's just too big a seating issue for me to not have to eat with five year olds, but I think they just don't want to treat me like an adult. I'm sick of it, but they don't care. How can I wake them up? I somehow lived through another Thanksgiving but Christmas is coming up and I'm going to want to beat them all. (link)
|
Dear Family,
There are a ton of people that go through this problem, and I'm glad that you asked about it. Have you tried talking to your parents? Maybe sitting down with them and really discussing the fact about how they are still treating you like you are 5 would really do some good.
Good Luck!

At my school there are some kids who think being Jewish is a bad thing. I am half Jewish and one of my friends is too. We always get mad when we hear kids saying it. Some kids say things like- You Jew- as if its bad. They dont even care who they say it to they will say it to christians catholics or jews. It really make me mad but I dont know what to do. Plus most of the kids who say it are in the popular group witch me and my friends are not it. What should I do? (link)
|
Dear anit-jew,
The best advice that I can give you at this point is to rub it off. In life, people will say things to other people that aren't necessarily the greatest, but you just have to never let them see you sweat, as the old saying goes. If it really begins to bother you, talk to your parents, a school counselor, the principal, or even your teacher and tell them what has been happening. I'm sure that they will help you out.

Hears the deal. I am into musical theatre, and once doing a show i met this guy. But, i really miss him , and obviously i really liked him. I've tried to see him a couple times but it hasn't worked out. HELP!
~A sad one~ (link)
|
Dear Sad One,
It looks like you really like this guy; I can understand that perfectly well. But there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Maybe you should just hang out for awhile, or call him on the phone. At this point, being friends may be the only option that you have to keep your heart from totally breaking.
Good Luck!
