I am 26 and I have a new boyfriend. My mum
doesn’t like him at all. She says he is too old for
me (by the way, he is42). Yet, he is the best thing
for me now. He is kind, understanding, and
although he has two children with his first wife, I
get on well together well with them. What should
I do?

I like eating out a lot, but my husband is very
upset about that. He keeps saying that it is too
expensive for us. However, I don’t think so; we
eat especially at McDonald’s or we order pizzas
at home. I hate cooking and, after all, I am not
my husband’s slave. What can I do?

I am 13 and quite tall for my age. There is a boy
in my school who seems to like me a lot. He is in
the 11th grade. Yesterday he gave me a pink
rose and he invited me to go to a party next
weekend. Somewhere in the country. We are
travelling in his friends’ car. Shall I accept?

I have just started judo lessons. I am good and I
want to be even better. The trouble is that one of
my friends has problems in his neighbourhood.
There are guys who bully people, ask for money
or cigarettes, and if you refuse doing so, they
start fighting. He asks me to accompany him and
protect him.
Should I do it?
