Your Question: I know a question like this has already been asked, but I really need some help! I just got my period and I don’t want to tell my mom. I know she’s been in the same position as me – when she was my age – but I know that she’ll make a [...]
Your Question: I don’t have many friends, and one of my friends moved. I only have a few friends at school. I don’t want to go into the lunch room at school and sit all by myself. What should I do, and how do I make more friends. I want to be more confident, outgoing, [...]
Your Question: I have a friend who just starting going out with this girl. We have become very close friends but I recently found out she has been cheating on him this whole time. Should I be honest with my friend I’ve known forever or not tell him because I don’t want to break his [...]
dear Sarah, A guy recently broke up with me without ACTUALLY breaking up with me… it made me feel completely worthless and unwanted. He didn’t even tell me to my face that he didn’t want to see me anymore, he just ignored me completely. I’m pretty sure the reason he did this was because he [...]
I recently did an interview with a very cool journalist, Myrna Haskell, who has a parenting column that runs in 10 different states.

This post is going to make me sound old. But I don’t care. I’m going to write it anyway. Let me set the scene for you: Saturday night on the E train, going from Queens (rock on!) to Manhattan for a house party. Ok, so I’m not that lame but I’m also not done yet. [...]
dear sarah, So I’ve been dating this guy for 6 months and I really liked him at the beginning but now I’m having doubts whether I like him or not due to that he really doesn’t pay attention to me and we really don’t see each other. He claims that I’m the one that doesn’t [...]
This is a question for the ages. Is he your boyfriend if you just hang out? Are you really going out if you don’t actually go anywhere? Here’s my latest “dear sarah” column and I know you can all relate, whether you’re 14 or 34… Your Question: My boyfriend and I have been going out [...]
