  Dear Alice,
  I am very sad. The girls in my class make fun of me because I am tall and skinny. My mom says not to worry, that Uma Thurman had the same problem, but doesn't help me much.

  Dear Alice,
  Can you help? I'm always at the top of my class but none of the other kids will hang out with me. They say I'm the teacher's pet. Now I'm too embarrassed to go to school.

  Dear Alice,
  My dad is really mean. He never lets me go out or use the phone. My dad says I don't take school seriously, but I'm just sociable. It's not my fault that phone calls are so expensive.

  Dear Teen,
  I'm sure that you have a great personality but school is really important. Why not meet your dad half away and only ask to go out on the weekends?

  Dear Teen,
  Show your classmates that you aren't all about school. Join some clubs to show them how cool you are! Or even help them with their homework!

  Dear Teen,
  Most girls dream of being tall and skinny. But it's important to remember that we are all different, and everyone feels shy about something.
