My older brother is mean to me at school!
Dear Brandon, I was so excited to start at the same school with my older brother. I thought he’d introduce me to his friends and it’d be cool to know upperclassmen right away. At least I thought he’d show me where the math hallway is! But he acts like he doesn’t even see me! If […] Read more

I’m suffering from stage fright!
Hey Brandon, Every year, our school puts on a huge spring production with acting, singing, and dancing. All of my friends told me that I’m super talented, so I tried out and got the lead part.
