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)

Hey Terra, " Hey Terra, I'm turning 13 soon. Me and my really close guy friend are now boyfriend and girlfriend (as of yesterday). How do I tell my mom I have a boyfriend without her getting all "Sweetie, I think your too young" or "AWWWWWWWW! YOU'RE SO GROWN UP!" I really need help. When and how should I tell her. Sorta confused and nervous |
