Dear Queenie,
I need some advice on a matter that I have. You see, I am going away to school but I am leaving my boyfriend behind and I am scared that things are going to be different after that.
I am scared that we might break up and we are very serious. We have been together for 1 year and 2 months now and I love him so much that I don’t know what is going to become of us when I leave.
I am also scared that he might find another girl, because I used to hear that he was cheating, but he told me that they are just friends. I want to believe him but people are always telling me things and sometimes I just can’t make up my mind what to think.
So, Queenie, can you help me please? As soon as possible!—Schoolgirl
Dear Schoolgirl,
Judging from the way your letter was written and the number of mistakes I had to correct before I could publish it, you would do well to spend more time thinking about your schoolwork and less time thinking about your boyfriend and listening to gossip about him.
There is nothing you can do to make your boyfriend stay faithful to you. If he loves you he will stay faithful, and if he doesn’t stay faithful you will know for sure that he doesn’t love you.
Meanwhile, you will probably meet a lot of new friends, both male and female, at your new school, and you may find a new boyfriend there. You would do best to keep your options open and, as I said, concentrate on your schoolwork.
