Dear
      Miss
      X,
     
    

    
     
      My
      boyfriend
      never
      tells
      me
      if
      I
      look
      good
      or
      not.
     
     
      Sometimes
      a
      good
      looking
      girl
      will
      walk
      by
      and
      he’
      Il
     
     
      comment.
      I
      know
      that
      he
      would
      never
      cheat
      or
      any-
     
     
      thing
      but
      its
      nice
      to
      hear
      sometimes
      if
      he
      thinks
      I
     
     
      look
      good.
      Sometimes
      I
      look
      at
      other
      girls
      and
      won-
     
     
      e
      why
      he
      goes
      out
      with
      me.
      He
      just
      says
      I
      wouldn’t
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
     
        
     
     
         
     
     
        
     
     
         
     
     
        
     
     
         
     
     
       
     
     
        
     
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      go
      out
      with
      you
      if
      I
      didn’t
      think
      you
      were
      good
      look-
     
     
      ing.
      |
      just
      wish
      he
      would
      say
      so
      sometimes.
      Need
      to
     
     
      Know.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Need
      to
      Know.
     
    

    
     
      Maybe
      he
      just
      isn’t
      comfortable
      saying
      how
      he
      feels.
     
     
      he
      is
      not
      going
      to
      cheat
      then
      you
      have
      nothing
      to
     
     
      worry
      about.
      Just
      understand
      that
      he
      likes
      you
      and
     
     
      lake
      the
      little
      things
      he
      does
      or
      says
      that
      show
      he
     
     
      does
      care.

      Dear
      Sleepy,
     
    

    
     
      If
      you
      continue
      to
      skip
      classes
      you
      are
      certainly
      going
     
     
      to
      fail
      yourcourses.
      Maybe
      you
      should
      go
      to
      bed
     
     
      earlier.
      If
      this
      is
      not
      the
      problem
      then
      you
      should
      see
     
     
      your
      doctor
      maybe
      your
      blood
      islow.
      You
      should
      do
     
     
      something
      soon
      or
      you
      will
      waste
      a
      year
      of
      education
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      many

      Dear
      Miss
      X;
     
    

    
     
      Last
      week
      I
      went
      to
      a
      party
      ata
      friend’s
      place
      and
     
     
      discovered
      something
      new.
      I
      have
      seen
      naked
      men
     
     
      before,
      but
      on
      this
      night
      after
      I
      drank
      too
      much
      some-
     
     
      thing
      strange
      happened.
      He
      actually
      turned
      me
      on.
     
     
      This
      is
      really
      hard
      for
      me
      because
      this
      is
      the
      first
     
     
      time
      I
      have
      felt
      this
      way
      and
      it’s
      scary.
      I’m
      notsure
     
     
      if
      it
      was
      the
      liquor
      I
      drank
      or
      if
      I
      was
      really
      turned
      on
     
     
      by
      his
      perfect
      body.
      Perhaps
      I
      have
      been
      repressing
     
     
      homosexual
      feelings
      all
      along.
      I’mnotsure
      how
      to
     
     
      deal
      with
      this
      but
      I
      do
      need
      advice
      or
      it
      will
      be
      a
      very
     
     
      long
      year.
