We are going to answer our first 5 problems for the Problem Page.

 Number 1.

The problem is where I live there is a boy I like I think he likes me to but I don't know how to find out without going up to him what shall I do?

 If your dream boy has a mate then try telling him about it. Get him to ask your crush if he likes you. If he does like you then tell him how you feel. If he doesn’t like you then we think that you should move on. But if he does like you then make your move.

 Number 2.

 I’ve got a problem a friend and her gang don’t like me. Can you help me please?

             We think that you should tell a teacher or your parents. Try to ignore them and play with some people that like you. Remember that they are only being nasty because they are trying to get you to react. If you stand there and let them upset you then they will carry on being nasty but if you ignore them then they will get fed up and leave you alone.

Number 3

To the problem page,

                        My problem is that our friendship gang keeps on breaking up like every week. What can I do to stop us breaking up every single week? Also I think it is a great idea to make up a problem page. You are doing really well.

We think that you should tell your friends how you feel and see if they feel the same. If they do feel the same as you then maybe you can try to prevent fallouts by telling your friends when you think one is about to start. If they don’t feel the same then say that they shouldn’t be your friends because you don’t like them breaking up and you should be happy with who are your friends.  

Problem 4 

Hi I’ve got a problem.
 I can’t get to sleep at night and I’m starting to get really tired at school. It only starts happening when I came back after the holidays, but nothing is bothering me at school so what can I do? Please help.

 We know how you feel because that has happened to us before. I (Katie) have found some ways that really work and I think that they will really help you. They are try stroking your pet at night, if you don’t have a pet then you can stroke a teddy, the next one is try getting a glass of water or milk, the next one is try to read a book and if all else fails shut your eyes and count sheep.

Problem 5

To problem page,
My problem is that my mum and dad argue almost every night. It is quite horrible when I hear them. What can I do?

 We know that it must be hard it’s horrible when parents fight. The only way that we can think of is to tell your parents how you feel they should take it well, if they don’t stop arguing then you should keep nagging them until they stop or try and help them with their problems. If that doesn’t work then write back to us and we’ll think of another way.
