Write Your Advice!

Are you good at making decisions, making up after a fight, or saying just the right thing? If so, then Action needs you! Each issue of Action includes advice from a real teen. Choose a problem from the list below. Then share your advice with us. We’ll feature the best advice in future issues of Action.

What do you do if...

...a friend tells you a secret, but you think your friend’s parents should know?
...the school bully tells you to give him all your money?
...your teacher thinks you cheated on a test, but you didn’t?
...your little sister breaks an expensive lamp and tells your parents you did it?
...you find a wallet at school with money in it and no ID?
...a classmate asks you out on a date, but you don’t want to go?
...your science-project partner leaves you with all the work?
...your two closest friends stop speaking to you and won’t tell you why?
...you’re invited to a sleepover, but you have a lot of homework to do?
...a friend offers you the answers for a big test that is coming up?
