Aunt Linda’s advice page
Peter I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and laughed. Though I wanted to help her, my friends told me not to. It was awful of them to laugh at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of myself. What should I do in this situation?
Dear Peter,
I believe you’ve learnt an important lesson —— you’ ll regret it if you don’ t do the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you should make up your own mind. You shouldn’t listen to your friend. It was awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.
Julile I have to share a room with my seven-year-old sister, and she’s driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano when I’ m studying, and she always takes my things without telling me. I try to keep the room tidy, but she always makes a mess. I love my sister, but sometimes she’s so annoying! What should I do?
Dear Julie,
You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you’re not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you’ll both learn how to live happily with each other.
