Dear Gabby, I really liked a girl at my school. I decided to ask her out, and now she has changed! She follows me everywhere and gets jealous when I talk to my friends. Every night she calls me about ten times and even leaves messages for me when I am trying to do my homework. My parents are getting mad and I don’t know what to do. I told her to stop being so pesky but she said she just likes me a lot. Signed, Troubled Ted

Dear Gabby, My life is in constant danger thanks to Broxton Bronco, the school bully. He follows me home from school and yells rude things at me and even threatens to hurt me if I tell. He steals my lunch money regularly and insists that I let him copy my homework. I have tried talking to my teacher about this, but she says that I shouldn’t be a tattletale and that I should just ignore Broxton. Please help me! Signed, Petrified Pete

Dear Gabby, There’s this boy at my school who was always very nice to me. He always shared snacks with me in the cafeteria and even invited me to watch him play baseball once! Last week we were talking and our math teacher told him to stop flirting with me out loud in front of the whole class. Everyone laughed. Now he doesn’t talk to me anymore. He says that he doesn’t even like me and that he was just trying to be nice. I am very upset. Did he really like me or was he just trying to be nice?

Signed, Sad Sandy
