Dear Teacher Elizabeth,

There is a boy in our class who I


am worried about. He is always
alone. He sits on his own during
lessons. He reads books at lunch
time and does not play with
others. I think he looks sad. He
says he likes to be on his own. I
think this is not true.

What can I do to help him?

Best Suggestion

I could go and sit next to him and ask what is the problem or make him
my friend .
Dear Teacher Elizabeth,

I have a good friend called Anita. We sit


next to each other in class. I have known
her since we were small. Our families are
good friends too. The trouble is that
Anita keeps asking me for money to buy
sweets. Every day. It happens on the way
home after school. I want to be her friend
and give her some money. I often do but it
takes all of my pocket money. Please help.

Best Suggestion

You can inform Anita’s parents and ask them to guide her .

Dear Teacher Elizabeth,

My best friend likes to play football.


We both tried to get into the school
team. I got into the team as the goal
keeper. My friend did not get a place.
He will not speak to me now. What
shall I do?
Best Suggestion

I can ask the coach to let my friend to the team .

Please help me, Teacher


Elizabeth.

There is a girl near where I


live. She is always calling me
names. When we are with
our friends she tells jokes
about me. It makes me feel
hurt. How can I make her
stop?

Best Suggestion

You can try to explain her, how bad you feel when she makes fun of you
and make her understand by giving examples.
