AM I GOOD LOOKING?
Whassup Brandon, I know that this might sound like a really strange question, but…am I good looking? My buddy always raves about being better looking than I am and making all the girls swoon over him. And lately, I’ve been wanting to impress this girl, but I’m not really sure if I’ve got it going […] Read more
EVERYONE THINKS I’M WEIRD!!!
Hi Brandon! How do you find friends when everyone thinks you’re WEIRD? I like who I am, but at school, nobody wants to hang out with me. It’s gotten SO BAD that my grades are suffering and I don’t do my best at stuff anymore. To hide how bad I feel, I make puns a […] Read more
MY SISTER IS THE STAR OF EVERYTHING!!
Hey Nikki! I feel like I’m not good enough when compared to my sister. I recently won a poetry contest, but she won a scholarship to study in Germany. I know, I should be happy for her! But instead, I feel envious and pathetic. Everything I do, my sister tops it. Life with her is […] Read more
AM I PRETTY ENOUGH FOR MY CRUSH?
Hi Brandon, I’m having trouble with this guy at school. We used to be good friends. But now, whenever I talk to him he’s really quiet and just blushes, and sometimes I catch him staring at me. How do I know if he likes me or not? And to be honest, he probably doesn’t because […] Read more
I’M TOO SELF-CONSCIOUS TO WEAR SHORTS!
Hi Nikki! I’m REALLY self-conscious of wearing shorts! I can’t wear them in front of people because I’m scared they’ll talk about my fat legs. Even when I’m in PE class, I still don’t like to wear them. I’m fine with skinny jeans but shorts are just scary! This was really hard to write. Please, […] Read more

I’M DEVELOPING TOO EARLY!!!
Today’s letter comes from Kacey, who writes… Nikki, I really need your help!!! I am 11 years old, and I already need a bra (which always itches). Barely anyone else even wears a bra. I also have hair under my armpits and on my legs. I’m pretty sure my period is coming soon. Everybody always […] Read more
I WORRY ALL THE TIME!!!
Hi Brandon! I doubt myself all the time. I doubt that I studied enough for the science test. I doubt whether or not my friends are true friends. I feel like I might let someone down. My school talent show is in a couple of days and my friends and I are dancing, but I […] Read more
I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!
Dear Nikki, I’ve tried EVERYTHING to lose weight, but I just can’t. My sisters can eat 50 hamburgers and still be skinny. I think the reason why I’m not making friends at my new school is because I’m big and awkward. I just want to give up. Every time I go to the doctor, it’s […] Read more
