I am a full time student studying mental health for Human Services. Since I was a child I have had my share of familial problems and numerous therapists until my teens. I have always liked to help people in some way, shape or form. I once worked with children with special needs for a few years as my nephew has special needs.

I love to read and fill my brain with as much information as possible.

By being an "agony aunt", I hope to bring some advice to others who need it in their time of need as I have also receieved great advice from this wonderful website with lots of helpful, open-minded people of all ages from all over the globe.

Will dwarfism and lack of confidence make me less appealing to boys in middle school?

Q.   So, I know I have a wonderful boyfriend, but I'm going into middle school. Now, I've heard this is where, some boys actually FINALLY like girls. And we're being combined with another school. So MORE BOYS!! Yay. But I have a disease, with dwarfism, ...

A.   17 August 2008: I agree with her. Boys are very immature at that age so don't stress it. When I was your age up until high school, boys picked on me and were put off by me just because I didn't wear make up or dress like a girl--I wore my father's 3x size clothes ... (read in full...)

A.   7 July 2008: The best thing you can do is live your live at this point. Do not make a mistake and wait around for him to dump his girlfriend because that may never happen...or won't happen for a long time. But also do not regret those happy times you shared with ... (read in full...)
