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)

Hey Terra,

I was in a relationship with this guy for 6 months and it truly was the best 6 months of my life. I felt as if I loved him and he said he felt the same. But then things started going down hill from there and it was all because of other people. They were jealous cuz he spent all his time with me. Then I let him be a lil' free so the people would chill and he ended up cheating on me with my best friend. But I forgave him because I loved him and I lost me best friend over this. And then that so called best friend of mine put a knife to my throat and i told him to never talk to her again and...

 

Hey Terra,

I think my brother is drinking and MAYBE doing drugs I wish he wouldn't! I don't want to get the 'rents involved but I want him to stop. We have a pretty good relationship but I don't think he's telling me as much as he used to. How do I figure out truth from talk and try and stop it???

Confused
