Dear Alana,
This girl in my class is always favorited by my teacher. Everyone in my class is her friend but they don't know she's a bully to me. Now since I told them the truth I'm the "bad guy." How do I get everyone to like me again?
-I’m the Good Kid!

Dear I’m the Good Kid,

This type of thing happens a lot. First, don't be mad at yourself for telling the truth. Even when it feels like others are against you, you should continue to maintain your self-confidence and self-esteem. Second, is it possible that you can confront your bully in a non threatening way and ask her to clear your name? It's possible that everyone will notice how nice she is being towards you. Third, find new friends who you can have fun with and who aren't judging you for what you did. Lastly, if my last two suggestions don't work, maybe you can consult a trusted adult, like a counselor, and tell him or her what is going on. Never let anything happen that can turn your story around to make it sound bad.

Dear Alana,
My best friend is moving away at the end of the year, and it's really hard on both of us. What are some ways that we can keep in touch and have good memories before she leaves?
-Moving away

Dear Moving Away,

I'm sorry to hear about this. I know it must be difficult. Me and my best friend live in two different states and we always look forward to seeing each other once or twice a year. One way to help is to just hang out with each other as much as possible and have the best time that you can. Also, when she moves you two could keep in touch by writing letters, sending pictures, talking on Facebook or MySpace, and sending emails throughout the year. Most importantly, just have fun with her and make the best of it.
