There’s this new boy in my class, and he’s kind of a dork. But I think he’s really cute, and I have a huge crush on him. I don’t plan on telling anybody because I might get teased. I don’t even want to have a crush on him. I’m always crushing on the nerds. How can I deal with my feelings without telling anyone?

BILL: Repeat after me: “It doesn’t matter what other people think!” OK, got it? Now, go with your feelings. If you can have fun with the “dorky” guy instead of worrying about how you look to others, you’ve found the secret to happiness!

DAVE: Gee, Bill, you just stole my rational answer. While it’s OK to confide in friends you can trust, it’s never wise to go along with the general consensus. If it’s dorks you like, go for ’em.

TELL US NOW! Boys got ya baffled? Ask Bill and Dave what's up. Just click the purple SEND A QUESTION button.
