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)

I think I'm playing with fire because my mom doesn't really know about him and I have to lie to her to hang out with him. I know it isn't right to lie to my mom but I can't help it! We want to spend more time with each other. My mom really doesn't approve of me dating an older guy. She thinks they will hurt me or something like that. Plus, I'm the baby and she worries about me a lot, but I...
