It's a hard life being a teenager, eh? I know, I  am one. Many up's and downs, and a lot of you may have personal problems that you can't talk to anyone else about. But fear not, I am here to help. Send in your teenage angst queries to the address at the bottom of the page. Thanks.

Dear Andrew,

Well well..sorry. Umm..this is a very unusual problem. I'm no psychologist, so i can't help you much. What I do suggest though is that you stop sending me such pointless letters. You've sent me two exactly the same already! Are you some nut? Leave me alone. Next please please..grr..




Dear, Andrew..

Help! I'm addicted to the web and cable TV! Is there anything that I can do that involves getting off my fat ass?

Ah..right. Quite a familiar problem this one. You'll be glad to know that there are cures. Firstly, this is the one i call "standing up and walking about". Getting from the sitting to standing position and moving about is a function carried out by nearly every human being. It can be carried out easily, even with people in your condition.

The other treatment is to get out and exercise. A 30 minute brisk walk a day should do the trick. But, hey..who the hell wants to do that when there's crap to watch on cable tv and when you could be talking about nothing in particular with friends on the internet? heh, heh..

Hope I've helped.

Hi, Agony Andy,
I have a problem, but I can't say what it is.
My Problem is that I can't say what my problem is.
I am caught in a vicious circle of not saying anything.
What can I do?

Well, hello there. Sorry to hear about your unforntunate problem. Er... I really don't know what to say. It's not that I can't. I just don't know what. Maybe I'm not the right person for a job. Try a speech thearapist or a doctor of psychology. Try using sign language to tell your problem to someone if you can't say it. I don't know what else to say except..

Every rose has a thorn
Every night has a dawn
Every cowboy has a sad, sad, song
Every rose has a thorn..

There we are. Hope it all sorts out.

Toodles.

Dear Andrew,
I was at a school fete a few weeks ago and these boys picked on me. They stole all my money and threatened to tell the whole school that I lived in the woods with green, spotted pixies if I didn't streak through the crowds there. I didn't think I could take that embarrassment, so I streaked. Thing is, I'm getting more stick for doing that! Help!

Agony Andrew replies..[thanks, craig.]

*Snigger..* Well, well..you have got yourself into a bit of a pickle, haven't you? There's only one thing I can think of to help your cause. It might seem a bit extreme, but in the end will work out.

Never wear clothes again. People will get used to you living in all your glory and soon won't care what you look like, and you won't care what they think! Great, eh?

Hope that helps!

 

 

Dear Uncle Andrew,
To cut hair or not to cut hair? That is the question. And it is one I'm sure many people have trouble with including myself.
You see the dilemma is - I need my hair cut but am too scared to in case it goes horribly wrong and I am left looking like a plonker for months on end 'til it grows out, and what's worse I could end up with the dreaded "trainee hairdresser". Ahh,  the perils of teenage life. Please help me, I can't sleep at night!

Why, hello there, Scared.  First of all, may I congratulate you, (or more so your parents) on your fantastically original name.  Gosh, and how it suits your problem.  Anyway, I'm guessing you want a solution, hmm?  Rightio.  I've thought long and hard and come to the conclusion that, umm...6 down in today's Times newspaper crossword must be a misprint, because I swear the answer is 'sloth'...

 

Oops.  Terribly sorry!  Your problem.  Well, one possible solution is to visit a novelty fancy dress shop and buy a comedy plastic 'bald' wig.  Stuff it tight on your head and you won't have to get your hair cut.  And the bulge of hair on the top?  That's just 'a cancer growth..'.

Alternatively, you could visit the hairdressers with a large pair of sheers, and threaten the stylist with them.  Explain firmly what might happen to their 'perfect' hair if they so much cut just one hair on your head wrongly.  That should work.

Hmm, and if all the above fails, and you do get a bad hair cut, run away and join the circus for a while where you can make money through humiliation of your looks until it grows back...
