Dear Kim

Dear Kim,

People are always coming over to me and pinching me. What can I do?

Tired of Being Pinched

Dear Tired of Being Pinched,

You should tell them that you don't like it and to knock it off.

Kim

Dear Kim,

Someone came over to me and pulled my hood string and the string came out. He just said, "Oops!" and walked off. That pissed me off.

Pissed off

Dear Pissed off,

If you don't want your string to come out, you should tie knots on both ends of your strings so the knots will stop at the holes. If it happens again, give that person a straight message that you don't like what he did.

Kim

Dear Kim,

I have a crush on someone who is tall, handsome and fun to be with. I want to be more than just a friend. How do I tell him?

Enamored

Dear Enamored,

Talk to him and tell him that you want to be more than just friends. Tell him how you feel.

Kim

Dear Kim,

Someone keeps taking my pencils. when I see my pencil and try to claim it, they deny that they took it. How can I avoid this problem?

Pencilless

Dear Pencilless,

You could avoid this problem by keeping your pencils or pens in your bag or in your pocket. That way they can't swipe them. You can also put your name on them.

Kim

Dear Kim,

Someone is spreading rumors about me that aren't true. How could I make this stop?

BS

Dear BS,

You can't stop it if you don't know who is doing it. Find out who is responsible and give them a straight message you don't like what they are doing.

Kim
