Aunt Linda's replies

-----------------------------------

Dear Anna,

You're right to be worried about your friend Jolin. She shouldn't stay on a diet if she's already very thin. You should try to get her to see a doctor. You should also tell her that she's not alone—we all worry about our looks sometimes.

-----------------------------------

Dear Peter,

I believe you've learnt an important lesson—you'll regret it if you don't do the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you should make up your own mind. You shouldn't listen to your friends. It was awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.

Dear Simon,

Lots of people wear braces these days, so you're not alone. If you stop paying attention to your friends, they'll stop laughing at you. So don't worry! I understand that it hurts sometimes, but think of the beautiful, straight teeth you'll have in a few months' time!

Dear Julie,

You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you're not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you'll both learn how to live happily with each other.
