Dear Boomer,
I really like this guy at school, but I don’t know if he likes me. And every time I try to talk to him, I melt. Please help me!!!
—M.T.
Dear M.T.,
It’s just beginning to really heat up, and you’re already melting?
This hombre must be pretty HOT! Seriously, you need to relax and be yourself around this fella. That way you’ll be able to tell if he likes the “real” you.
Stay where it’s cool!

Dear Boomer,
What is your fav dog?
Your friend, G.C.
Hey, G.C.,
Didja check out Bo, the adorable “First Dog” that just moved into the White House? He’s a Portuguese water dog, and he’s the first dog Sasha and Malia have ever had. (See page 5 for the full story.) Bo gets my vote for favorite dog!
Take care,
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. By the way, I’m in fifth grade.
—J.V.
Dear J.V.,
My full name is Boomer Bear. I’m 10 and also in fifth grade! Steve Nash, Shaq and the rest of the Phoenix Suns make up my favorite team. A lot of people expect the Lakers will be playing LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. But I’m not sure that the Lakers will make it that far.
Hoops, anyone?

Hey Boomer,
At my school, there’s this guy who hates me because he thinks that I like him. But I don’t. How do I tell him that I don’t like him?
Friends,
A.C.
Dear A.C.,
Just because you don’t like somebody, doesn’t mean ya gotta tell the person. Unless, of course, you WANT to let him know you don’t like him so that he’ll like you more, which means that you might actually like this guy after all.
Good luck,
Boomer Bear
Hey, Boomer!
My family and I were riding bikes when we saw a snake eating its prey.
We could (only) see the animal’s foot—it was totally “rat”ical!
Your friend, G.B.
Dear G.B.,
Wow, that’s just like one of those nature shows on “Animal Planet.” What kind of snake didja see?
Go wild!

Dear Boomer,
I really like this boy named T.R., and I like him more than any boy I have ever met. But, sometimes I feel like I scare him because I like him too much. But, then sometimes he acts really sweet, and it makes me think that he likes me a lot, too, but he can’t just admit it. What should I do?
Your friend, D.R.M.
Oh my, D.R.M.!
Sounds like you’re head over heels for T.R. Since he shows some interest in you, you might want to take a step back and give him a bit more space so you don’t scare him off. Take a deep breath and try to be yourself!
Best of luck,
Boomer Bear

Dear M.T.,
It hasn’t even reached 100° F around here, and you’re melting? This hombre must be pretty HOT! Seriously, you need to relax and be yourself around this fella. That way you’ll be able to tell if he likes the “real” you.
