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.

In friendship,
Terra (aka Annie Fox)

Hey Terra, My friends think that I have a problem. They think that I am bulimic cause I purge my food. I told them that I had it under control. Well, one of my friends or someone who knows about me throwing up went and told the guidance counselor at school about my situation. So one day he calls me into his office and he and the school nurse start talking to me about purging and how it can kill you or mess you up really bad. Well, while I was talking to them I asked if they were going to tell my parents. They told me that they wouldn't say anything until they saw me again before Christmas break. One... |
