Dear Jamillet,
Hey I was wondering if you could give me some advice because I am kind of a thief- I keep stealing money from my parents. If I tell them I will get in trouble. So that’s why I’m writing you a letter. What should I do?
-Money Snatcher
Dear Money Snatcher,
I think you should tell your parents. It’s going to be more painful if you wait rather than just do it now. Even if you mess up, you can change. You will still get in trouble but they will appreciate you doing the right thing.

Dear Jamillet,
So my problem is at school. People are calling me names and when I tell them to stop they just call me worse names. I told them I was going to tell the teacher but they threatened me. I need your help to stop what they’re doing to me. When I see them at school I get scared that they will punch me or go after my friend.

Dear Bullied at School,
I know what you’re going through. When I was younger, people made fun of me too. I told them to think about how they would feel if they were me. I then went to the teacher. If they were threatening you, the teacher can help protect you from their threats. Good luck!

Dear Jamillet,
I need your advice- my mom has been really strict lately. I have tried to talk to her about it but she won’t listen. What should I do?
-Strict Advice
Dear Strict Advice,
You should start by acting better, show her that you can handle more freedom. Kindness and respect get you far in life. Parents are usually strict because they are scared that you can’t handle very much freedom. Then ask when she is sitting down and relaxed and she may ease up a bit.
