Dear Agony Aunt I am writing to you for advice. My problem is that my friends are leaving me out and I feel like the third wheel. I really don’t want this feel this way. It is really affecting my school work. My school work used to be up in top marks but now it is dropping vastly. The teacher is starting to give out to me because she said that I am starting to get lazy with my work. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!! Signed Upset Dear Upset I know how you are feeling because it happened to me before. What you should do is asked both of them could you talk to them, and you could tell them how you feel. If they don’t understand how you feel that means that they are not your true friends. And if that doesn’t work you always have other friends. Yours Sincerely Dear Agony Aunt, I have a problem. I am writing to you so you can give me some advice. I really like this boy, but he doesn’t really notice me. I try to wave at him and always say hi, but he still ignores me. He's not in my class, he's in the class next door. He also lives in my estate, and when we are in my estate he is really nice, but when we are in school, he suddenly doesn’t know me or like me. Please Help!!! signed: Upset and Confused. Dear Upset and Confused, This is a very common problem. The same thing happened to me once. I think that if you try and talk to the boy, he might explain why this is happening. I'm sure that the boy doesn't hate you or anything, but maybe he is just embarrassed. Maybe it turns out that he just wants to be friends, and I think that would be good. Please don't feel sad about this, I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation.
