personal. So send me your problems by email to: [email protected] or you can
ask for my address to send me a letter. Or you can just post it in the comments if you're
brave enough! I'll try and send you my advice within a day or two. Remember that there is
always someone there to help you.

Dear Lucy,
I go to school in America. This guy is really cute in my biology, and I really want to
talk to him, but I find it really hard. I know that he loves animals like I do, and that
he is really interested in Astronomy. But I still can't seem to talk to him. My friends
all say that we would be perfect together, but I can't help feeling like I need to puke
every time I go to talk. What should I do?

Dear Alice,
I have been in your position many times. It can be overwhelming when you really
like someone and you can't seem to talk to them. So I suggest that you think
about your life 10 years down the line. Is he in the picture? Could he be in the
picture? If the answer is no, try to move on. There's no point in trying to start a
relationship if you don't think it will last. If the answer is yes, then I suggest that
you should think about how much fun you could have together. And that he may
be in the same position himself. Or he might be willing to give it a go anyway and
you could end up falling in love. I think you should summon up the courage and
go forth and conquer! Just go over to him and ask if he would be able to help
you with your biology homework or something. If he replies ''No'' in a mean manner,
forget him. He's obviously not a very nice guy and that's not what you want. If ''yes'',
then I wish you all the best. Try and do as much as you can on your own now,
you want him to know that you're independent and dedicated. Good luck, and email
me your results ;D

Dear Lucy,
I feel like I am always tired. I don't even do too much exercise or anything, I just
collapse every time I get home and go to sleep. I don't get into fights at home or
anything like that. I go to sleep early and everything! All my friends get angry
because I fall asleep really early at sleepovers. Please help me, I feel like I am
missing out on all the fun.

Dear Carla,
I used to get this too. You may be stressed but unaware. Do you often think
bad thoughts or get paranoid? If you do this a lot, you may be mentally tired.
Try and drink a lot of cold water, you may be dehydrated too, which can cause
tiredness. Make sure to eat a lot of vegetables (especially green) to help get
a higher iron intake, you may be lacking. In the mornings, try to get up early,
maybe even before school and take a jog around your area. You'll be surprised
by how quickly you wake up and how amazing you feel. Also, if you feel yourself
getting tired, step outside your back door/front door and take a few deep breaths.
Your main problem could be lack of clean oxygen and dehydration. If none of this
advice helps, send me another message. Hope you feel better soon!
