Dear Pen Friend Sylvia

Thanks for your intersting letter. I see you have a very big problem. At your age it's normal that you feel behind in life and sad and alone. I also had that problem that I didn't have any real friends and I also felt alone. But then I visited a riding-club and I started horseriding there. And there are many nice people and there I also find real friends. If one of your hobbies is swimming or surfing, you can search some people who have these hobbies too. Maxbe these peoble will be real friends. I believe in you! You can do it! I wish you good luck.

I also have a very big problem and I hope you can help me to solve it. There is a school friend who makes bad jokes about me. I don't know if he is a real friend. I wanted to talk with my parents about this problem but they are only interested in my marks. My problems aren't important for them. Now I don't know what I should do. Can you help me? Is he my friend, if he tells bad jokes about me?

Please write back as soon as possible.

Yours, Elaisa XOX

My Problem

Dear Agony Aunt,

My name is Elaisa and I'm 14 years old.
I have a very big problem:
My parents are very strict and unfair. They treat me like a little child and I haven't any privacy.
I'm not allowed to go out with my friends because my parents think that I will drink alcohol and smoke. And I'm also not allowed to have a boyfriend. They said that I'm too young for this. But I'm think that people in my age can decide on their own hand what's the best for themselves.
I wanted to talk about this with my parents, but they didn't listen to me.
And when I wanted to surf in the internet, my mother stand always behind me and looks what I do. That's stupid because when I want to chat with my friends in the msn-chat or icq she could always see what I write to my friends.
What should I do? Please help me, I'm really desperate!
Please write back as soon as possible!

Yours, Elaisa

School Uniforms

School Uniforms

On the one hand I think school uniforms are good, because it showes that the pupils who wear the uniform belong to a community.
The only important thing is that there's no bullying because of the clothes. When a person doesn't wear designer clothes and shoes, then the other pupils who wear fashionable clothes mob him/her. That won't happen, when everybody wears a uniform.
Laura, a class mate, said when the uniforms are too expensive, some pupils cannot afford the clothes. But I think, when the headmaster of the school wants a uniform, then he search for some clothes which are not so expensive.

But on the other hand, I admid that it is boring, when everybody wears the same clothes. And when same pupils don't want to wear the uniform, they will probably begin rebel.
