Dear Jenny, I’m going to take some important exams next month and I am really worried about them. I can’t eat or sleep well. I keep thinking. I may get better grades, please help me. Mary, 15 Chicago |
Dear Jenny, My little brother refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead. He watches whatever he wants all the time. What can I do? Nina, 14 New York |
Dear Jenny, My dad has got a new job and he works long hours. He often has to work at weekends too, so we spent very little time together. I miss him. What should I do? Jim, 13 Boston |

You should discuss this problem with your parents. Have you talked to your father? Surely, he misses you, too. Tell him how you feel, and perhaps he would spend more time with you. You can also ask your mother to do something fun with you, when your father isn’t home. |
You shouldn’t worry so much if you study hard, you will do well. Try to relax. Fine time works and eats really healthy meals a day. Don’t drink coffee or tea. Oh, you won’t be able to sleep. You’d better drink a glass of hot milk before going to bed. |
