Dear Liberty…June 2023

Dear Liberty,

I am writing this letter to ask you for help and advice.  I recently found out that I am pregnant and I am in a difficult situation.  I don’t know what to do, and I don’t have anyone else to talk to. I feel like I may have to make a difficult choice, and feel overwhelmed with all the questions and decisions I have to make.  My situation, my family and my health make me feel pressured and tired.  I have worries about my future, about the future of my future baby and about the pressure that I will receive from society, friends and family.  As if that were not enough, the father does not want to take responsibility and suggested that I abort the baby. Of course I flatly refused with respect to that option.  It’s been 3 days since this happened and since then I haven’t been able to hear from that person.  I would like to know what options are available to me in this situation and what are your recommendations.  I am feeling very scared right now.  I need help. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely,

Stuck

Dear Stuck,

We suggest you start preparing yourself emotionally and mentally because you will receive many bad and good opinions and a lot of social and family pressure.  prepare yourself so that you can make good decisions for this new phase of motherhood that you are about to live.

For this, you must first overcome that fear of the opinions of others. If you look around you, you will see that, in the end, all mothers get ahead with raising their baby. Do what comes out of your heart and it was very brave that you told the father that you do not agree with the abortion.  Consult your doctors and do not be afraid to share what you feel with your family and those closest to you.   So if abortion is not the option you want, you can give the baby up for adoption to let the baby have a family that can’t have one and really want to have it. This option lets you have the future that you might want or the future of the baby that you think it’s better for him. I would also advise you to talk like your family and take advice from them as they are an important part of your life.You have to work on your emotional and mental stability as well as on your health so that nothing that people say affects you.

Sincerely,

Liberty

Dear Liberty,

The problem in my life is how can I pass the Regents exams?  For example, it’s hard for me to understand and do the Regents because I can’t write in English and I need to understand some questions from the Regents. Sometimes the tasks are many and there are many questions that make it difficult for me to look in the dictionary. Sometimes the words I’m looking for aren’t in the dictionary. 

Sincerely,

The Regents

Dear The Regents, 

We suggest you make sure to study in advance and create a plan to review all the material. Study thoroughly starting with the papers from the beginning of the school year.

Practice with past exams. You can also buy a Regents practice book or find practice tests online and seek help from your friends, teachers or tutors if there’s anything you don’t understand. Learn more about the regents and all you can do to pass it. We also know that the school offers regents practices on Saturdays, so we recommend you go, to get more information to help you pass the regents, and we will give you some advice: don’t worry so much about learning such fancy words, focus on keywords that help you write an essay with a good body paragraph so you can get a good score and pass your regents.

Also make sure to get enough sleep and eat well before the exam.

Good Luck!

Dear Liberty,

A few months ago, I lost my job. I started to look for a new job for weeks, but I hadn’t any luck.  I became very discouraged and worried about my finances since I had to buy things and support myself.  I had a lot of shame!  Someone hired me but that job took advantage of people but I have to keep that job because I need the money.  What do you think I should do?

Sincerely,

Lost

Dear Lost,

Your situation it’s difficult because when you need money and you are  not good financially, you put yourself in difficult situations. Having to stay somewhere you are  not treated right it’s hard but our advice for you is that you should  keep the job you have now, until you find a better one where you feel comfortable. You gotta get out of your comfort zone. There’s always something better out there, there’s places where they will appreciate you and recognize your skills, because money is not everything and not always going to solve all your problems.

Sincerely, 

Liberty 

Dear Liberty,

My problem is love.  I fell in love with the wrong woman.  I spent a lot of my time with her and then I noticed that she was cheating on me with other guys.  I was so sad and now she wants to get back together with me, but I don’t know what to do.

Sincerely,

Tu Lokito Viejo NYC

Dear Mi Lokito Viejo NYC

We suggest you think about it and first remember how you lost your time with this woman. To be honest as your friend I will just say it, leave her and overcome this situation.Take time to hang out, get to know more people and focus on you and next time that you start dating another person always take your time to really know her. I know it is hard to do but I am sure you are going to find another woman that will appreciate and love you so much. So until then, try to work on yourself, improve yourself and become a better man. You should be focused on your studies, family and distract yourself by doing outside stuff. Like running, going to the park and appreciating the beautiful nature around you to process your emotions and continue your path. You don’t need to continue spending time on a woman who is not worth it.

You got this!
