Dear Allie,
My outfit tonight was awesome and nobody noticed. I really wanted people to notice me but nobody did. I think I am going to die. What should I do? I know it’s stupid but I’m struggling with this situation.
Sincerely,
Style struggled senior

Dear Style-Struggled,
To be frank, this is a silly situation, but no matter; it’s still a problem. To be unnoticed is a lonely feeling, even more so when you try your hardest to be recognized. If to be recognized is what you wish, I suggest being a little outrageous. Wear plaid and stripes with polka dots or pants with a skirt. Mix it up, and make it work and make everyone stare.
Yours truly,
Allie

Dear Allie,
My boyfriend, who I’ve been with for a long time now, is a pretty big flirt and it’s really starting to get to me, but my constant nagging about it isn’t getting me anywhere. What do I do about this?
Sincerely,
Garrulous Girlfriend

Dear Garrulous,
Well, if you have talked to him about it and he has continued to be the same, you might not be able to get through to him at all. Try giving a higher consequence instead of getting angry. If you continue to confront him, then get angry and then get over it, he’s not going to learn anything. You also need to look on the other side; he is dating you for a reason, and remember that. You may just have to face the fact he isn’t going to change no matter how hard you try. Good Luck.
Yours truly,
Allie

Dear Allie,
I think I am pregnant. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Overwhelmed

Dear Overwhelmed,
Wow, well this is a sticky situation. I feel the first thing you should do is inform the person who’s contributed to this potential predicament. You should also find out for sure if you really are pregnant, and if you are, decide what you want.
This kind of a problem is more of a personal perspective issue. But before you worry about that, you need to know for sure whether or not you really are pregnant and let the potential father know what’s going on. My thoughts are with you and others in your situation.
Yours truly,
Allie
