My sister ran away. What should I do?

My 15-year-old sister ran away. I know where she is, but I’m afraid to tell because I don’t want to get in trouble.

 

Dear Confused,

This is a serious situation. Rather than keep silent, reveal your sister’s whereabouts to a parent, or talk to a school counselor, psychologist, clergyperson, relative or some trusted adult who can help. I realize you don’t want to tattle on your sister, but if she’s in danger, speaking up can make a difference—or even save her life.

if you read the book hoot, you would be amazed! same prob. but you should tell some one or it will get worse. its for the best. your sis could face some bad stuff like illnessis and ick like that. Why did she run away? tell somebody quick though.soon.

Aw im so sorry you should just tell your parents because yoour sister might be in danger and this is the only way you can save her if she is. But dont worry, you wont get in trouble for doing the right thing.

Alright! so, i have this little 8-year-old sister. thing is, she can be really mean sometimes. she shouts, cries and whines about everything and nothing, demands stuff...its really worrying me. it might just be little girl typical behavior, but it might not. i don't want her to grow up this way. what should i do?




Hey girl,

I can understand your wanting to help her grow up well.  I think you should help her set up a system for handling those situations.  Just in general be her big sister and point out how she can better herself.

all of a sudden i have stopped eating. I'm just not hungry and im not getting all the calories i should be getting. this has been going on for two days. I know I am not fat and I'm not anorexic because I know all the harmful effects. the second day i started stumbling a little , probally from low blood sugar. my mom and BF worry that I am anorexic and they think I'll get really sick. I'm just not hungry. What is going on??




Hey Girly! 

If this has only been going on for two days I wouldn't worry too much. It might just be a virus that makes you lose your appetite. However, if it continues I would talk to your doc. Are you taking any medicines? Certain ADD medicines and other prescriptions can also make you lose your appetite. As for your mom and boyfriend, they're just worried about ya! They'll feel better once you visit a doctor.
