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. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Teens have been writing to me since 1997 because they know I give good advice. If you’ve got a problem with friends, so-called friends, a bf/gf, a parent, or anything else that’s confusing… email me. I can help you sort out your feelings. No matter what’s going on, you always have choices. Some choices make 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)

Desperately Seeking a (new) Boyfriend

I got this email the other day. The girl who wrote it feels hurt and rejected because her boyfriend just dumped her. She's flipping out a little so her idea of what's going to solve her problem makes about as much sense as... well, why not just read it for yourself?

Hey Terra,

My boyfriend recently broke up with me (over the phone!) and I'm still really heart-broken and don't know how to get over him. Also there's this other guy who's in the school play with me. I've liked him even before I started going with my ex. On Saturday the play ends. I probably won't see him anymore after that so Saturday is my last chance to get things started with him. Should I tell him how I really feel even though we don't know each other very well???

“My parents are doing drugs!”

Hey Terra,

I was looking for a bandaid in my parents closet and I found what looked like marijuana. It really hurts because I never though that they could do that to me. I never would want to. And my mom has asthma so I think it is my dad's. They don't know I know.

“My stepdad is tearing me and my mom apart.”

Hey Terra,

Me and my mom used to be so close until my stepdad came in. My stepdad is always trying to get me in trouble and it seems like he is turning my mom against me. I can't talk to her anymore. It is just too much. We talked a couple months ago and she said we would it work out together but did we? NO!
