StillRose asks: What should I do about my mean teacher? She hates me!
Handsome once had a teacher who just hated little boys. So it wasn’t just him she hated, but still it made his stomach hurt all year!
It’s no fun to be around people who don’t like you, I know. Some people don’t like Continue reading
MyrnaFan1 asks: My parents say they’re going to get a divorce. Is it my fault?
Okay, repeat after me:
No. Not a bit. Not in the least. Not a chance. Not one eensy weensy little bitty bit. Divorce is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER the kid’s fault.
People get married because they Continue reading
BabyJayne asks: What should I do about nightmares?

MoonMan asks: Sometimes I’m sad for no reason. And people get angry at me for it. What should I do?
Wow, me too. I don’t know why it happens. Some people say it’s because of the stars or something, but some days I’m just blue! (and no, that doesn’t mean I’m Continue reading
HarrietteS asks: How should I deal with it if my date wants to do more than I do?

There’s no reason to Continue reading
Gingko asks: What should I do when my parents fight?
Wow, this is scary stuff, isn’t it. There’s really nothing like when your parents fight. Just them being upset is kind of upsetting, isn’t it? I remember once when Handsome Continue reading
SeeGee95 asks: What should I do when my parents are unreasonable?
This is one of the toughest lessons for any young person, or dog, to learn. I thought Handsome was perfect, that he always did what was right. And then one day, he Continue reading
CloBo asks: What’s the best kind of music? What’s bad?
The best kind of music is music you like. There’s no such thing as bad music. It can be so loud it hurts my ears (dogs have very sensitive ears, you probably know), but outside of that, it’s just a question of what you like.
Some dogs like Continue reading
