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)

“No one in my family really knows me.”

 

“My parents are doing drugs!”

Hey Terra,

I smoke I drink and do bad things and I don't know why. I'm so mad always. Right now I walked out on my mom to come to the library to get on the computer. She gets me soo frustrated.

My mom got a new boyfriend. I don't got a problem wit that. I just hate that she puts him before me. I told my mom to bring her cell phone so that I could call my sister in Mexico but she didn't. She left it to her boyfriend. How come she could stay out with her boyfriend and I can't? That's bulls***.

I also didn't get into the high school I wanted to so now I wanna drop out.

I told myself that I wouldn't smoke...

 

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.
