Dear Dish-It, My Boyfriend Stopped Calling

Dear Dish-It

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

What would you do if your boyfriend stops calling, but at school he still talks to you and still wants to be your steady?
Your friend, K

Dear K,

You need to love yourself, K! There's a lack of respect goin' on cuz this boy isn't treating you right. I guess it's possible that he's just a bit on the slow side, so if you want to cut him some slack, you need to set him straight by telling him you're not happy with the zero phone time. If he has a good explanation, like maybe he has strict parents and isn't allowed to use the phone or maybe he's scared of your parents, then work it out. But if his story is weak, then you've gotta let him know that he has to get his act together, or else it's time to say bye to this boyfriend and move on to newer and better opportunities.

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. Send all of your questions to deardish@kidzworld.com. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
