Dear Tina…

Dear Tina,

All my friends are going to beach week after graduation and no one invited me. I’m really confused about this because I always thought I was really popular. No one hates me and I’m always with them anyway. Should I just invite myself or rent my own house? I’m really upset about this.

On My Own Beach

Dear Beach,

I think you may have gotten mixed signals from your friends. Maybe they just assumed you were going and did not mention it to you. Ask them about it and if they are awkward and fumbling then no, it wasn’t a mistake. If that is the case then don’t worry about. You’re going to college soon anyway, where you’ll meet tons of new people.

Dear Tina,

Summer’s coming up and I want to break up with my girlfriend. I think summer is a time to be free and not have any commitments. I talked to her about it, but she doesn’t think it’s a good idea. I really like her but I won’t be here a lot and I don’t want to put myself in a bad situation. What should I do?

Dear Tina,

I have been going out with this guy for a few months now; we have gotten really close. Recently, he has not really been focusing on me or even acknowledging me. His attention seems to be on something or someone else and I am worried. I think he is cheating on me. One of my friends told me they saw him with another girl at the movie theater on Saturday and he told me he had a family reunion. Should I confront him about it or let it be. I really really like him but I do not want to be with someone who obviously does not want to be with me. Help me out please!

Dear Tina…

Dear Tina,

There’s been so much stress in my life, especially now around the holidays. I have to get all my school work done before break, buy presents for all my friends and family and I need to keep my appearance up for my boyfriend. All this stress has caused me to eat in excessive amounts and I’ve gained some weight. I started throwing up after I eat. I think its getting serious because I can’t stop. What should I do? Should I tell my parents or try to get help on my own? I feel alone.

Dear Tina,

Dear Tina,

I’ve been going out with this guy for a really long time. He really does not like my best friend and he asked me to choose between him and her. She has been my friend for a really long time and she’s always been there for me. The problem is that I think I really love him and I’m not sure what to do. How do I decide between him and her without making either one of them sad?
