14. NOT FAIR
I get 1.50 dollars pocket money, but most of my friends get much more. When I ask my Mum and
Dad for more, they say Ican have more, if I help in house, but I do not see, why I should. Mum is at
home all day and it is her job to look afternthe house, not mine. What do you think?

WEIGHT PROBLEM
Girls do not find me attrective and I think the reason is that I am fat. Ever since, I was about 7, I
have been on the chubby side. But it did not worry me, until now. I have lots of friends, but not the
type, I would like.

BULLIES AT SCHOOL
Please. Help me, because I am in terrible trouble. There are bullies at my school who hit me and
kick me. And they say, I have to give them money or they will really hurt me. I am frightened of
them. I have not got any money to give them. Please, tell me what to do.
