Dear Justus,
HELPPPPPPPPP ME. THERE IS THIS BOY WHO CONSTANTLY PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS. HE WANTS BACK IN AND HE ONLY USES ME AS AN EGO BOOST AND I WONDER IF HE READY EVEN LIKES ME I TOLD HIM I WAS D.O.N.E AND HE SAID THAT WAS OKAY HE WANTED TO BE WITH A TON OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND IT MADE ME SO UPSET I WANT HIM TO LIKE ME BUT HE WANTS TO TALK TO ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. AND I TOLD THIS GIRL HE WAS ABOUT TO PLLLLAYYYYYYYYY AND SHE ENDED IT WITH HIM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THEN HE FLIPPED ON ME SO I FLIPPED BACK. I JUST FEEL SO CONFUSED. HELP ME JUSTUS!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Grammerless Egobooster,
This boy sounds like he just isn’t the one for you. You can’t force someone to like you especially when you’re not the only one in this boy’s life. Maybe try taking a break from him and just worry about hanging out with friends and what you’re going to eat for dinner! High School romance is hard. You have to look out for yourself in the end and ask yourself, is that what’s best for you?

 

Dear Justus,
So a lot of kids are making fun of me for my style and I was wondering how I can change myself to better fit in with my peers.

Dear friend,
You shouldn’t worry about what other people think of you. All that matters is you’re happy and enjoy the way you look. I bet your style is awesome and unique. Don’t ever change for other people. Change only for yourself if that’s what you want to do.

 

Dear Justus,
My dog ate my homework, what do I do?

Dear dog owner,

Well, you’re gonna need proof or your teacher isn’t going to believe you.

Dear Justus,
I am a sophomore. Last weekend I was invited to a small party at my friend’s house. There weren’t many people there, only a few friends. Two of my friends went to go smoke a cigarette outside and told me to tag along so I did. When we got outside they told me to take a puff. I had never done it before and was kinda scared of what would happen if I did and what would happen if I refused. I ended up walking back inside without them. I’m worried I’ll be put in the same situation again. What do I do?

Dear Anonymous,
Being put in these kinds of situations is always hard. Whether it’s drinking or trying drugs, you really need to think of yourself in these cases. Don’t worry about what your friends would think or what society portrays as “cool”. Here are some questions to think about. How would smoking affect you and your family? What if you become addicted? What could happen to your health if you continued to smoke? Make sure you know every repercussion that could become an outcome of smoking before trying it if that’s what you choose to do.

 

 

 

Dear Justus,
There is a girl in my class that I know has a crush on me. She has told me multiple times before and constantly flirts with me in class. It gets really annoying because I don’t like her like that. I never told her though because I don’t want to hurt her feelings. How do I tell her without it spiraling out of control?

Dear Anonymous,
Teenage girls are very fragile, so take precaution. Make sure to always wear protective eyewear and padded vests when handling the emotions of girls. Approach with caution. Nicely tell her how you feel. Watch her facial expressions. If you see the happiness start to drain from her face, ABORT MISSION AND GET OUT OF THERE!

 

 

Dear Justus,
I was at a party a couple weekends ago and there was alcohol there. I’ve never drank it before but all of my friends were. I held a cup the entire night and pretended like i was drinking. I was scared to try it but wanted to be cool. I know I’ll be in this situation again, what do I do?

Dear Anonymous,
If you are under the age of 21 I strongly suggest you not drink alcohol. It is very bad for your body and when drunk can cause you to make stupid decisions. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to numerous health problems, chronic diseases, neurological impairments, and social problems. Really think about what you’re getting yourself into before you make any decision about trying it or not.
