Dear Lauren,
I have been good friends
with this girl for a couple years, and we are really close to each other. She
is in a relationship, and it’s her first serious relationship. He doesn’t like
when she has friends, or hangouts with people other than him. How do I tell her
that he is controlling her without risk of losing her as a friend?
Sincerely,
Worried

Dear Worried
Sister,
Every girl goes through that type of
relationship where they only want to be around their significant other. I don’t
think the fact that he is basically controlling her is healthy, or that she
even realizes that she is being controlled. She may be blinded by love. I know
that is so cliché and dumb, but tons of people actually experience that. My
advice would be to talk to her. Don’t be rude and mean about it. Just say that
you don’t approve with how her relationship is going, and that this boy won’t
be there forever like you will be. Maybe she will listen maybe she won’t. Don’t
make her feel like the victim, and always be there for her. She will need it
when they break up.

Dear Lauren,
My brother goes to Tennessee Tech
for college. He and I are really close, and I never know how to handle him
leaving. How do I handle him being gone?
Sincerely,

Dear Lonely
Sister,
I have never been in your situation,
because my brother is younger than me. I have some advice for you that I hope
helps. First tell him that you already miss him, and ask him if he will set-aside
sometime to where you two could skype or talk just the two of you. Another way
is distract yourself. Hang out with friends or a boyfriend as much as possible.
Join a sport that will take a ton of time from your day so you aren’t thinking
about your brother. I hope that helps a little!
Sincerely,
Lauren
