I’M TOO SKINNY / I’M TOO CHUBBY!!!
Hey Readers! So, first of all, let me give you a little behind the scenes. Every week when I’m picking which letter to feature here on the website, I open up the email where the Ask Brandon questions come. And there are a LOT. So many. So I try to pick questions that I think […] Read more

Help! I’m A GIANT!
Hey Brandon! I’m a girl and six feet tall, which makes me a lot taller than most kids my age. I’m really lonely up here and I don’t know what to do. My friends bully me because I’m so tall and often make jokes about me “reaching things” and “being a giraffe!” Plus, no boys […] Read more
I HAVE EPILEPSY!
Hi Brandon, I have epilepsy, and sometimes I get seizures during class. Everyone stares at me and it makes me feel really weird. I don’t think a guy will ever ask me to the dance because of it. All my friends have someone to go with. What do I do? Please respond – it took […] Read more

DO MY FRIENDS SECRETLY HATE ME BECAUSE OF MY WEIGHT?
Dear Nikki, I’m actually kind of embarrassed to ask this, but I’m constantly worrying that my friends secretly hate me because I wear plus sizes.

I’M NOT GOOD AT ANYTHING!!!
Hey Nikki, I’m not good at anything! (Except studying, but anyone can be good at that.) I’ve tried a lot of different things, from art to football. How can I find my inner talent??

THE TRUE MEANING OF “COOL”
Okay. So, remember when I first started going to WCD and wanted to fit in with the CCPs (a.k.a. Cute, Cool and Popular kids)? And, for a split second, MacKenzie actually BRAINWASHED me into wishing I was invited to her birthday party? Well, MacKenzie has made my life a total NIGHTMARE since then! And, what […] Read more
