Advice Column

 Dear Eagle Eye,
I feel like I am losing all of my friends. I feel like I am a horrible person because it isn’t really affecting me. I’ve found a lot of new friends that are better for me as a person because these friends aren’t trying to pressure me into doing things I don’t want to. What do I do?

Sincerely, Breaking Stereotypes

Dear Breaking Stereotypes,
I know losing friends can be hard no matter who they are and what the circumstances may be, but in my opinion, I don’t think that you should be hanging out with people who are dragging you down with them by wanting you to make the same bad decisions they make. If you feel like these friends are bringing you down and you want a new start, slowly let them go. Don’t be rude; just let the friendships break off on good terms. And enjoy spending time with your new friends!

 Dear Eagle Eye,
My younger brother and I have been fighting a lot. Part of me thinks I should be nicer but then another part of me thinks he deserves it. I’ve been really stressed lately and this doesn’t help. What Should I do?

Sincerely, Big Sister

Dear Big Sister,
 Dealing with family is hard, and dealing with siblings is even harder. Family fights. When your brother calls you names and starts on you—take a step back, breathe, and let it go. If needed, turn and walk away from him. Refrain from calling him names as well. Try to say only nice things to him.

Dear Eagle Eye,
Someone’s locking my locker every day, and I hate it. What can I do?

 Sincerely, Unlocked


 Dear Unlocked,
Whoever is locking your locker may be just looking out for you. There has been a lot of theft in the school these last few years. Try to remember your combination, put it in your phone as a note or a draft or write it down and carry it in a purse or pocket, something that will be with you every day.

Dear Eagle Eye,
Every single day lower classmen walk on the wrong side of the hallway and they always run into me. They need to learn to respect upper classmen and get out of our way!

Sincerely, Right Side of the Hall


Dear Right Side of the Hall,
When this happens to you, kindly explain to the underclassmen to walk on the right side of the hall. Just think of the hallway as a road; always “drive” on the right side.
