B. My brother and I are always fighting about silly things and I always get the blame while Sam gets away with everything. What should I do?

C. A new girl has come to our school. She’s pretty and all my mates say she’s a snob. They’re spreading all kinds of rumours about her and no one will talk to her now. I think that’s unfair. How can I help her?

1. People like to gossip. Most of the time it is harmless, but it can also be hurtful. Break the chain! Don’t spread gossip. Just say to your mates that you are not interested in mean gossip. Don’t believe everything you hear. Introduce yourself, talk to her and form your own opinion.

3. If you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours! You can’t always have it your way. Learn to co-operate.

2. Time management is the answer. Make a weekly planner, and separate the have-tos from the want-tos. Allow some want-tos in your daily timetable.
