Kid’s Questions: I’m Being Bullied At School
8Dear Rene:
I’m being bullied by six people because one girl doesn’t like me.
Turns out she found out I had a crush on her ex-boyfriend and now everybody’s been sending me messages in a bad way. The thing that sucks is that one of them used to be my best friend. Now she’s gone and I have nowhere to turn. In the meantime I get messages saying things like, “You better watch it when school starts because payback is a b*tch” and I’m scared.
I told my parents and they filed charges but now the More >
Ask The Good Enough Guy: Bride To Be On A Spending Spree!
9Hello Will,
Our daughter is getting married next summer and she’s already planning a BIG wedding. The only problem is that we’re the ones paying for it!
Sandra has a huge guest list and extensive plans culled from all the wedding magazines. I’ve told her father, Andrew, that there’s no way we can afford something so grand but my husband is a bit of a pushover when it comes to our daughter and always gives her what she wants.
We also have two other (younger) daughters and a big mortgage so More >
Ask Rene: Is It Puppy Love Or Much More?
11Dear Rene:
I have a 15-year-old son who thinks he has a 13-year-old girlfriend. As soon as he wakes up in the morning, he’s on the phone with her and then spends all day talking to her. But that’s not the half of it. He’s doing poorly in school, doesn’t ever want to have dinner with his family and many times doesn’t get home until after 9 o’clock at night.
Recently he and I got into a huge fight and his girlfriend’s mother got involved. My own son called me a B*TCH in front of her! I don’t More >
The GEM Debate: Should You Be Fined For Wearing Saggy Pants?
36Okay, I’m gonna just put this out there, I’m as torn over this issue as a pair of ripped up Levi’s.
You see the small town of Hampton, Georgia is going to start fining young men who wear saggy pants with a $50 fee. You know the look, low pants that expose a guy’s underwear. But should such a fashion ‘choice’ result in a fine? Uh-oh… here we go.
First of all, let me say I am not a fan of the look; I see kids walking the streets of Manhattan with their britches past their butts and I just shake More >

The GEM Debate: Should THIS Teacher Still Be Teaching?
28Remember the uproar last year after it was discovered that a Philadelphia area high school teacher had been keeping a blog where she said some not-so-kind things about the administrators, co-workers and students at her school?
Natalie Munroe was suspended from her nearly $55,000 a year job and faced the very real possibility that she could lose her job. So Munroe can count her lucky stars because she’ll be back at the blackboard this fall at the SAME SCHOOL. Good idea or bad?
Munroe is an More >
