Hi Boomer!
My brother gets in fights with me a lot. What should I do?

Friends, C.C.

Dear Boomer,
I got in a fight with my sister, and I tried to avoid that by singing her “Happy Birthday” and not showing her that I didn’t care. But she did not stop being mean. What should I do?

Your friend, B.B.

Dear B.B. & C.C.,
There’s nothing like a brother or sister when it comes to someone who gets on your nerves. Even at a young age, siblings learn how to push your buttons to get you fightin’ mad. If you’re tired of all the drama and conflict, find things you can enjoy together. Don’t be afraid to step away from your brother or sister until you guys cool down.

Keep your cool!
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer Bear,
I’m a 12-year-old kid who’d like to write for Bear Essential News for Kids. I have a great mind, and I love to read and write. Every day I see many amazing things I could write about. If you can help me, please let me know.

Sincerely, P.B.

Hey, P.B.!
There’s only one thing I like better than a kid who writes, and that’s a kid who writes AND has a “nose for news.” You obviously have what it takes! To sign up, click on “Young Reporters” on my Web site, www.BearEssentialNews.com. Follow the buttons until you get to the printable Young Reporters Sign-Up Forms. Send ’em in and you’ll receive your official Young Reporters kit. Summer is the perfect time to get writing for me.

You’ve got the “WRITE” stuff!
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer Bear,
Do you have a PlayStation 3? Have you seen or read “Twilight”? What’s your favorite thing to do in your spare time? What do you care about most in the world? What’s your favorite movie? What helps you to control your anger?

Thank you, Room 28

Whoop, whoop—it’s summer vacation, Room 28!
I’m more of a Wii type of bear, but a couple of my buddies have those fancy PS3s. I love reading, but haven’t gotten around to “Twilight,” yet. It’ll be one of my summer reads. I love hangin’ with my friends the most, and kids are what I’m all about. My favorite flick is “The Bad News Bears.” To control my anger, I just think of things that put a smile on my face.

Have a super & safe summer!
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I want to find out how old you are because most of my friends are always asking me. I also want to ask you what’s your full name? And what is your favorite basketball team? Mine is the L.A. Lakers.

Sincerely, J.V.

Dear J.V.,
My full name is Boomer Bear. I’m 10 and just finished fifth grade at Bear Canyon Elementary! Steve Nash, Shaq and the rest of the Phoenix Suns make up my favorite team. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are facing Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals.
Which team are you gonna root for? I’ll go out on a limb and pick the Magic to win it all.

Hoops, anyone?
Boomer Bear
