Dear Ask the Cat:
My problem is in another word ISSUE. Right now I have family problems. Right now my parents are getting a divorce. I feel sad. I feel I miss a special person which is my dad. So that is my issue right now.
Sincerely,
Sad Person
Dear Sad Person,
I think that the best thing that you should do is at least talk to your dad still and keep in touch. Maybe you can stay over at his house sometimes and then when you are old enough, you can choose who you want to live with.
Dear Ask the Cat:
Why are parents so overprotective?
Sincerely,
A 6th Grade Student
Dear Student in 6th Grade:
Parents may seem like they are overprotective. But they might be trying to help. Parents don't want to see you hurt. Your parents probably just want the best for you. You may not realize it now at the moment. I would try to talk to your parents and let them know you need more freedom but be aware that you have to show that you've earned it first.
Dear Ask the Cat:
There is this guy and I really like him. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Crazy in Love 6th Grader
Dear Crazy in Love,
Think...does he have a girlfriend? If he has a girlfriend, wait until the relationship is over. At our age, relationships don't last long. So don't give up. If he doesn't have a girl, ask him out. Tell a friend to write him a note. You never know if he likes you back. Even if he says no, it's okay. Look around for other guys. Remember, guys can change their mind. Maybe he will like you later. In the meantime, maybe there's another guy who likes you more!
Dear Ask the Cat:
There's this guy I like and I told my best friend. I guess someone heard and told him. Anyways, I thought he was my friend and now he hates me. But I also want him to go out with me. I don't know what I should do. What do you think?
Sincerely,
Someone
Dear Someone,
Maybe this guy is trying to hide the fact he likes you too. So ask him out if that's how you feel. But if he acts like he hates you, he's probably not worth the time. When guys find out you like them and they feel the same about you, sometimes they act like they hate you. It's easier for them to pretend hate than admit like. Wait a couple of weeks. Nobody will remember anything about this. By then, maybe the friendship can be repaired.

ASK THE CAT!
Dear Ask the Cat:
Hey cat, I have a person problem. There's a girl that I've known since I was eight and then she moved away and recently I found her. So we had to rekindle the flame and what do you know? We are going out. I really love her but there's a girl here at Camino and we kinda always flirt and tease each other. So cat, my girlfriend lives in El Paso but she comes down every weekend. So, should I keept that flame with El Paso or ignite a new one with Camino girl?
Sincerely,
Double Love Life
Dear Double Love Life,
I think that you should just follow your heart. If you truly love El Paso then go with her, but if you truly love Camino girl then do what you have to do.
Dear Ask the Cat:
My problems are that I got involved with drugs a couple of months ago and never want to talk about it because I'm not proud of it. I'm ashamed of it.
Sincerely,
Me
Dear You:
I think you should talk to someone about this so you can get it off your mind. If you find someone you really trust, you can talk to them. Also, if you're so ashamed of it then maybe there's a reason. Maybe you should just stop doing them. Instead of thinking about quitting forever, just think each day, "I won't do drugs TODAY." Then that's all you have to worry about is today.

Dear Ask the Cat:
There is this really cute girl who asked me out. Should I say yes or no? Can you help me? Supposedly she likes me too. In class, I look at her all the time but I get nervous when I talk to her or even if I say Hi. I say, "Your cute," then I run off. So as you can see, I am desperate for advice.
Sincerely,
Nothing to Say
Dear Nothing to Say:
I think that you need to go to the girl and just be her friend for right now. Then, when you get close and comfortable, tell her how you feel. If she reacts weirdly, say "Just kidding!" Then you'll know if she has the same feelings.
Dear Ask the Cat:
I have a problem. My problem is that I like this 16 year old boy. I found out that he likes me too but I am afraid to tell him. I don't know how he will react. I met him on July 7, 2008. When we talk, I feel like he is everything to me. What should I do? I love him.
Sincerely,
In Love with an Older Man
Dear In Love:
First, how old are you? If you're younger than 15, stick to someone your own age. Because just what is a 16 year old boy doing messing with someone that young? Is it because there's something seriously wrong with him that he can't get anyone his own age at his own school? Maybe they know something you don't! But if you're at least 15 and you like him, hey, go for it.
Dear Ask the Cat:
People in the hallway push me into the bathrooms. They also push me into others that may turn around and push me into the ground. They're really mean people and they also call me names that hurt my feelings. A lot of them copy my tests and if I get it wrong, they get mad. They also dump my backpack out. I wish they would just stop. I need some good advice.
Sincerely,
BULLY GIRL
Dear Bully Girl:
First of all, bullying shouldn't be tolerated by anyone. You should definitely tell an adult, like a teacher or the principal. Tell the bullies that they wouldn't like it if this happened to them so they should leave you alone! Let them know you're telling on them too. They need to stop or they will be suspended. Also, you can tell some of your friends to walk with you so they can see what's happening. That way they can tell teachers and principals too. If enough people just told bullies to quit, then maybe they would get the hint. EVERYBODY hates a bully!
