Dear Queenie,
I’m going to be 14 in a couple of months and up to now I’ve always been happy and healthy, but lately I am just sad and lonesome. I used to be able to talk to my parents about everything but not this.
Queenie, how can I get some help?—Mixed up kid
Dear Kid,
I don’t know whether you are a boy or a girl, but either way it is natural for you to be having mixed-up feelings as your body changes and matures. Tell your parents, your family doctor, your favourite teacher or school counsellor about your feelings and they will give you some reassurance, or help you get professional counselling if they think you need it.
