Dear Boomer,
I am so mad. My friend made me laugh today in class, and we both got in trouble. Worst of all, I got a C in social studies because of her.

Your new friend, L.M.

Dear L.M.,
If your friend is such a bad influence on you in class, you really shouldn’t sit anywhere near her! I have a hunch that you might be partly to blame in all of this, too! After all, it is your grade that we’re talking about.

Your buddy, Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
This year in school, I’m going to sixth grade. And to top that, I just moved here and don’t know anyone! Please help me. I’m scared and nervous and another feeling that isn’t in the dictionary! How can I make friends?

Sincerely, W.V.

Dear W.V.,
Panicking isn’t gonna help. You’re smart and funny, and you are going to be fine! Be yourself, keep your sense of humor and don’t be afraid to try new things at your new school.

Have fun,
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
My parents want to take me on a long trip. I think it will be boring with no friends—just my crazy little sister. What should I do?

from S.V.

Dear S.V.,
Sometimes it’s important just to go with the flow—especially when it comes to family trips. This is a chance to show your folks a little maturity. And next time, maybe you’ll have more of a say in planning the next trip.

Bon voyage! Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I have a kid in my class who’s nice sometimes and mean sometimes, too. What should I do?

Please help, S.R.

Dear S.R.,
While we can’t be good all the time, we can help being mean to other kids. Sometimes it’s just a phase that goes away after a bit. But being regularly mean or aggressive can be a sign of more serious personal problems. Either way, you don’t have to put up with that kind of bad behavior!

Best of luck, Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer Bear,
I’m very scared when report cards come out—I’m not sure if I got good grades or will get in trouble (for bad ones). I can’t get any sleep.

Dear S.A.,
You’re putting an awful lot of pressure on yourself. Your grades are done, so worrying about them isn’t going to help. Just try your best this upcoming quarter.

Yours truly, Boomer Bear
