Hi, My name is Timmy. There is a group of boys at school who keep picking on me because of the way I look. It's getting really annoying now and afraid they might hurt me, what shall o do?

Hi Timmy, This sounds serious, you should tell them that you are better than them because they are just bullies, warn them that if they don't stop you will tell a teacher and if they don't stop tell a teacher. I hope that hopes, if you need any more help write back and I will help if i can. Lots of wishes Angie.

Hi my name is Max. My problem is about a girl. This girl is in my class at school and I really like this girl. But I feel that she will not like me as I look different. I am too shy to ask her out, what shall I do?

This is a problem that I get in my inbox all the time and I will say to you the same I tell all the others. You will never know if this girl likes you until you build up enough courage to ask her out. If she does have any feelings for you, she will like you for who you are and if she has a problem with people who look different, then maybe she is not who you thought she was.

Hello Angie, My name is Mrs Knot. I teach at a secondly school and have recently had a new student who has got Treacher Collins, I don't know weather I should allow the child the choice to do some work that requires talking to the whole class. The child is quite shy and does not talk that much. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Hello Mrs Knot, I understand that you are worried about putting the child in a different situation, but it is at best that you treat the child the same as all of the other students, because excusing the child from doing any work will make him feel different from the rest of the class and that would not be right. I hope this helps, lots of wishes Angie.
