• Feeling Down
  "I play on a sports team and messed up on the semi-finals. We didn't lose, but the leader of our team kept yelling at me. He kind of apologized later after everyone got mad at him but I brushed him off. What should I do so we can go back to normal?"

• Parent Problems
  "Please help me! My dad is obese, and he keeps saying how he'll start his diet soon but never does, and he snacks all the time and when I try to talk to him seriously, he just jokes that he only eats because he's stressed from work, or that he's fine and to stop bugging him! And I ALWAYS see fast food wrappers and drinks in his car! Help me please. I don't want anything to happen to him because he eats so unhealthy! What do I do?"
