Dear C and Dr. B; I’ve been teaching at inner city middle schools for a while now, but what I really want to do is art and music. The songs I write are my passion, and my art is inspired by people, by the real life social, economic and racial issues that are a part […]
Dear C & Dr. B; It feels like there is a storm raging in my head. My entire life sucks. First, there was my mom who decided she was gay, then dumped my dad for an absolute monster of a woman to whom she devoted the rest of her life, while totally neglecting her first […]
Dear C and Dr. B; I’m dissatisfied with my relationship and something has to change, but I keep putting it off because I feel guilty. I am still trying to figure out if this is the right thing. I’m 26 and have been with my boyfriend, Steve, since I was 16. He is a great […]

Dear C and Dr. B; I am a 16-year-old girl and I am painfully in love with Brian, my first real boyfriend. I say painfully because my feelings for him are so strong that sometimes they are like a real physical ache. I do have a life and I am thinking of my future. I […]
