Annie (AKA Hey Terra!) has been around long enough to have experienced a lot of what Life can dish out. But, it hasn’t been so long that she's forgotten what it's like to be your age. Check out some of the thousands of email questions teens from around the world have sent to Terra. You may learn something useful from her answers:
“We're apart and we fight about ridiculous things.”

Hey Terra,
Well, things are looking better now. Disagreements have eased off. We did have a long chat. Talking things out did work. The distance is the problem, especially since with my job and his job hunt there really is no way to take care of that in the near future. But, at least now we know that we are together (well, 1500 kms apart!!) but together!!!Thanks for helping out!!
Gratefully,
Wanting the Peace
Dear Wanting the Peace,
Nice work! It takes courage and commitment to make the effort to talk about the things that are bothering you. I'm so glad things are better between you and your bf. Keep the lines of communication open and make sure you are moving forward with your goals as an individual. (That's as important as the progress you make as a couple.)
Glad to help out. Write to me any time.
In friendship,
Terra
