| Dear Abigail, I have this certain problem lately where I feel like nobody in my family is listening to me. I say something and then five minutes later they willl act like like they've had a revelation about the very same thing. It's extremely frustrating seeing as I am the youngest and usually the one who is looked down upon. My sisters act like I never said anything then laugh at me. My brother just thinks I'm stupid. My parents don't listen to me either and then pretend like they do. I feel unimportant and very unappreciated. Suggestions? |

| I have two friends who like different sports teams that are arch rivals. My friends argue constantly about the teams and which one is better. There is so much bickering going on that it is getting in the way of their friendship. I've even seem them go after each other on the bus, yelling and pointing out various strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team. Sometimes I want to throttle them because of their strong opinions, but I don't know how to get them to settle down and be reasonable about their differences without THEM getting mad at ME. Help!! Frustrated Friend |

| She Was ... My Best Friend | ||
|
Dear Abby, I know this girl who I have been friends with since we moved to Winston Salem, about 4 years ago. We started hanging out almost as soon as we met each other and we did almost everything together... she was like my best friend. Back then we had everything in common... now we have nothing. Even though 4 years have passed she still thinks she's my best friend, but now I don't really like her that much. She's really annoying and its gotten to the point where I can't stand hanging out with her. She calls me alot and I can't just refuse to get together with her. Our moms are best friends, so I can't just blow her off. Also, she's very unpopular at her school and I and someone else are her only friends... I kind of feel bad about ignoring her. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? Fed Up Friend |

Dear Abby, *Bill likes *Sue, but *Sue doesn't know if she likes *Bill. If *Bill ever asked out *Sue, she would most likely say 'yes'. The only problem is that *Bill told *Sue it was a good thing they were such good friends, or he would ask her out. What should *Sue do? Signed, Confuddled... *=name changed |

Dear Abby, My boyfriend and I are going to a party pretty soon. There is a rumor that we will end up making out. But wouldn't that be MY choice? We have 'kissed' before, but never made out. I have 'kissed' more than one boy before, but never made out. Any tips?? Kissing Troubles |

| Dear Abby, There's this girl who is always extremely mean to me and she's always spreading rumors about me and making fun of me and stuff. She also does it to other people so I guess she's just an all-around bully. She even whispers about me to other people right in front of my face. I'm so tired of it. HELP!!! |

Dear Abby, One of my BFF's is a guy and we hang out a lot, so everyone thinks that I "like" him when I really don't. We're just good friends. Even if I just wave at him in the hall somebody will say, "Ohhh, you totally like him." I'm so sick of it! Sincerely, Tired of being teased |

Dear Abby, My best friend, *Sally, who I have not seen in two years is emailing with me now. Sincerely, (Dear Abby got a similar problem from another person, but there is one twist: The person who has been emailing the Dear Abby subscriber HAS changed, and is actually seeming not to be a desirable person to hang around. She emails about how wonderful she is and how popular, how big her mom's car is, and on and on. Once they meet up, the long lost friend wants to spend a lot of time together, but the Dear Abby subscriber has different thoughts. Please comment on both of these problems. ) *= names changed

| Can I Have the Questions? | ||
| Dear Abby, Recently, I have befriended a student that, well, acts up in class and is known for bad behavior. Ever since we have started the marine biology unit in Science, many kids walking to science and innocently ask if the test was hard, what people got, or whether or not someone studied. Personally, I think that is all fine. However, my new "friend" has taken this to a whole new level. I have science before they do, and during lunch or in the hall, this person comes to my locker and asks the innocent questions I stated before. After telling them that yes, it was hard, but I can't tell them anything else, they continually pester me to get me to tell them the questions that were on the quiz or test (in any subject). They aren't going to the "give me the answers" extreme, but I have seen them get a question from somebody and write the answer on their arm to use the next period. I know this is cheating, but I don't know what to do because I am afraid of ratting them out and them getting mad. I feel like that would be really mean and I would hate to do that to them. I also don't want them to think of me as untrustworthy or a "tattle-tale". However, I really want to do the right thing. Teachers, your advice is welcome, too. Sincerely, Untrustworthy? |

| No clue... | ||
| Dear Abby, This really cute boy asked me out at Starbucks. I knew him from camp and I really liked him, but I never see him anymore. I think if I saw him more often I would like him again, but it would be hard because he goes to another school. I really don't know if I should say yes, because we would never see each other. He did give me his phone number and his screenname. So I really don't know if I should say yes or no. Please help! Confused |
