Dear Audrey,

Can you find true love at 17 years old?

Dear Can it be,

I do believe you can find true love at 17. It is a very rare thing but you can’t help what you feel. Don’t ever listen to anybody who may tell you that it’s impossible. Once you feel it, it’s there. But do keep in mind that this love might not be forever. I’m not saying that it won’t because I have seen older couples who are still together since their high school. There are so many people out there that you will meet. Don’t get sucked into the "fairy tale" of first love.

Dear Audrey,

I have a girlfriend but this other girl is hot, cool, and willing to give it up. What do I do?

Dear Unsure Commitment,

Don’t ruin what you have with

your girlfriend just for some chick who is willing to "give it up". If you really like and respect the person you are with, you shouldn’t even think about it.

Dear Audrey,

What do I do if I am pregnant?

Dear Baby on Board,

Make sure you have a plan and people who support the decisions you make. It will be hard but remember to stay strong and keep your head up.

Dear Audrey,

How can I get along better with my girlfriend?

Dear Looking To Improve,

Talk to her, let her know that you care and you don’t like to argue. Try going out to places she likes and the both of you will enjoy.

Dear Audrey,

My mom has four of our cousins living with her, and they do not put any effort into helping her or my 67 year old grandma. What should my mom and grandma do?

Dear In Need of Assistance,

They should talk to your family that is staying with them. Your mom and grandma need to let them know that help is needed around the house. Your cousins should help out of respect that your mother is providing a place for them to stay.

Dear Audrey,

So I have never smoked and right now I am really tempted and want to even though it is wrong and bad for me. What should I do?

Dear Dazed and Confused,

I suggest that you don’t. You don’t need it to be happy or to have fun. If you have friends who do and they are the reason for it, it’s best to stay away from it because you know it’s wrong. Don’t do something you know you will regret later

.

Dear Audrey,

My friend is a slut and reveals herself in front of my boyfriend too much, it bugs me! What do I do?

Dear Friend of a Slut,

To me, she doesn’t seem like a friend at all for not respecting you or your relationship. Don’t hold your thoughts and feelings back, tell her something about it.

Signed,

Audrey
