Dear Mrs. Web,
My best friend wants to be a singer and she is really good. I'm afraid
that when we grow up, she might become famous and not remember
me. What do I do?
Sincerely,
Scared Friend
Dear Scared Friend,
“When you grow up” is a long time ahead. The future is
not ours to know, so stay in the present, and enjoy
your friend. I have had my best friend for 20 years
because I always encourage her. Great friends are
forever and if you become jealous, you risk losing her
now instead of when you're older.
Best of luck,
Mrs. Web

Dear Jake,
My older sister always makes me clean up after her, and if I
don't she teases me. What can I do?
Broom Brother
Dear Broom Brother,
You can't let your sister push you around like that! My
older brother did that to me, and warned me to not
tell my mom, or else. Well I did anyways and he got
in big trouble! Hahaha! Maybe you can do the same?
Good luck!
Jake, Age 13

Dear Mr. Egli,
I am getting bullied at school and online, and my friends won't help
me. What can I do?
Yours Truly,
Stressed Student
Dear Stressed Student,
Bullying is very serious and no one should bully you anywhere.
If this is happening you need to tell a teacher right away. As a
teacher I try to keep an eye out for bullying but don't always
see it. I am always available to talk to students if they aren't
feeling safe!
Sincerely,
Mr. Egli

Brian needs advice!
Respond to one
1. I am lost in the forest and I don't know what I should do. How
am I going to survive this scary place? Should I keep eating these
berries and drinking this lake water? Is it best to stay put and wait
for help, or should I begin walking?
2. I have a lot on my mind and can't stop thinking about something
bad from my past. It makes me very sad and angry and it is
becoming a distraction! HELP!
3. I just want to be home, I feel so lonely. It scares me to be like
this. How can I overcome this feeling and get back to where I
want to be?
…or make your own question from Brian's perspective
