Subject: Parents are ruining my life

Dear Agony Aunt,
I'm sixteen years old and my parents are ruining my life. They never let me do anything. All my friends' parents let them stay out late and go to clubs and parties. My parents always insist I'm back home by nine o'clock and they usually come to pick me up. It's so embarrassing. What can I do? Please help.

2. 'LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT'

Subject: Love at first sight

Dear Agony Aunt,
I met a wonderful boy while I was on holiday last month. He worked in a restaurant on the beach. It was love at first sight. Now I'm back home, we email and text each other every day. A few days ago, he suddenly stopped writing and he hasn't answered his phone when I've rung him. How can I find out if he is OK? I'm really worried. What should I do?

3. 'I CHEATED IN AN EXAM'

Subject: I cheated in an exam

Dear Agony Aunt,
Last term, we had a biology exam at school. I knew I wasn't going to do very well so I cheated (I found the answers on the teacher's computer). I got the best mark in my class and my parents were really proud of me. Now I'm in a new biology class. Everyone's really clever and I don't understand the work. I hate this class, but I'm too embarrassed to admit I cheated and I don't want to disappoint my parents. What should I do?

4. 'UNHAPPY ABOUT THE WAY I LOOK'

monicacoll — 2022-02-27 12:15:09 UTC

From:
Date: Fri Nov 3, 10.37pm
Subject: Unhappy about way I look

Dear Agony Aunt,
I'm unhappy about the way I look. My friends always look great because they wear fashionable clothes and make-up. My parents don't have much money so I often have to wear my sister's old clothes. When I do get new clothes, my mum usually chooses them for me and she doesn't let me wear make-up. I'm so depressed. Please help.

5. 'I FANCY FRIEND'S EX'

monicacoll — 2022-02-27 12:17:19 UTC

From:
Date: Sat Nov 4, 09.27am
Subject: I fancy friend's ex

Dear Agony Aunt,
My best friend recently broke up with her boyfriend. She was very upset because she really liked him. Now my friend's ex-boyfriend has asked me out. He says he's always liked me. He's gorgeous and I'd love to go out with him, but I don't want to hurt my friend. What should I do?

6. 'MONEY'

monicacoll — 2022-02-27 12:21:11 UTC

From:
Date: Sat Nov 4, 07.03 am
Subject: Money

Dear Agony Aunt,
A few days ago, I found a wallet in the street with 20 EUR in it. There wasn't a name or address, so I spent the money on a computer game I'd wanted for ages. Now I've found out that the wallet belonged to an elderly neighbour. I feel really bad. I haven't got a job, so I can't repay the money. What should I do?

7. 'STAGE PANIC'

monicacoll — 2022-02-27 18:55:29 UTC

From:
Date: Sun Nov 5, 11.08 am
Subject: Stage Panic

Dear Agony Aunt,
My teacher just announced that our class will be performing a play for the whole school. Everyone from our class will be on stage and everyone will have lines to speak in the play. I do not want to be in that play. I am panicking. How to overcome this stage panic and transform it to total confidence?
