Too loud to learn in English class

Dear Raider Sam,

I’m really worried about failing my English class. My teacher doesn’t teach because students are really obnoxious and loud. What should I do?

Dear Stressed Junior,

Do not worry about failing your English class. There are many things you can do about it. OK, so your English teacher does not teach because students are really obnoxious and loud. First, let your teacher know about it. If your teacher does not do anything about it, then go tell someone from the administration and I bet they will do something about it. If you are too shy or scared to do that then make an appointment with your counselor and surely they will understand your situation. Don’t get too stressed about it. There are many resolutions to this problem and the school wants you to have a great educational environment. Good luck, my friend.

 

Dear Raider Sam,

This guy and I went out for a while during the end of the school year and now that it’s senior year I hear that he’s been talking about me behind my back to all his friends and football team. We were friends before but people keep telling me that I was used. I don’t know what to believe. What should I do?

Dear Confused Senior,

Don’t assume things or listen to the people that are telling you those things. Maybe they are lying or something. What you need to do is go confront him. If he is talking about you behind your back and he is denying it then let an adult know. Talk to someone because what he is doing is wrong and he needs to stop and apologize. If he is not talking about you behind your back then it must be a rumor someone started. Still, you have to let an adult know about the situation before it gets worse.

Dear Raider Sam,

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year now. He is super protective and he doesn’t let me talk to any of my guy friends. The thing is, he talks to plenty of girls including his ex-girlfriends. People also tell me he flirts with other girls. What should I do?

Dear Jealous Junior,

It’s pretty awesome how you guys have been together for a year now! Not many couples in high school last that long. But there is a problem in this relationship. OK, so he is overprotective; this is kind of natural for a guy to be that way but not all the time. That means he is insecure. It’s really bad and unfair what he does. If he can talk to girls he should let you talk to your guy friends then. He shouldn’t be flirting with the girls though! What I suggest is that you let him know how you feel. He needs to understand that what he is doing is wrong. If he continues to do it then you guys need a break.
