Dear Liberty,
I have a serious problem. My little sibling keeps stealing my snacks. Every time I buy chips or candy, they magically disappear the next day. When I ask about it, they act innocent like they’ve never even seen food before. I’m tired of hiding my snacks like it’s a secret mission. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Hungry and Betrayed
Dear Hungry and Betrayed,
If I were you, I would lock my bedroom door and hide my snacks in a drawer or in my backpack well, in a place where no one could find or see them. Or you can buy a mini fridge to put your snacks in and buy a padlock to lock your fridge so it can be more safe. There are so many ways to stop them if you don’t want your sibling to steal your snacks. Bring him some snacks too so that there aren’t any problems.
Sincerely,
Liberty
Dear Liberty,
How do I deal with a friendship that is becoming toxic? My friend and I used to be really close, but lately she’s been talking behind my back, acting fake around me in school, and she even created a group chat where she criticized me with other people . It makes me feel hurt, confused and disappointed.
Sincerely,
Toxic Friendship
Dear Toxic Friendship,
I’m sorry you’re going through this. A real friend should support you, not talk badly about you behind your back. What your friend is doing is hurtful, and it makes sense that you feel sad, confused, and disappointed. First remember that this is not your fault. Sometimes people change or act differently around others to fit in but that does not make their behavior okay. You deserve friends who respect you and treat you kindly. Try to take a step back and look at the friendship honestly. Ask yourself, does this friendship still bring you peace and happiness? If the answer is no, it may be time to create some distance. You do not have to stay loyal to someone who keeps hurting you. Try to talk to her calmly and privately if you feel comfortable. Tell her honestly how her actions made you feel. A true friend will listen and try to fix the problem. If she doesn’t stop, let her go, block her, ignore her, and spend more time with people who make you feel happy and accepted. You will make new friends !!!
Sincerely,
Liberty
Dear Liberty,
I want advice about how I can spend less money every time that I am given money. I feel that when I go outside to walk in the parks or in the city center I need to spend on some things that I obviously don’t need. This is because I feel that I have too much money but it is not true.
Sincerely,
I want to spend less money
Dear I want to spend less money,
My recommendation to you is that you have to read the book of Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad and Poor Dad. It is an incredible book because the book teaches where you should and should not invest your money. It also lets people understand the difference between assets and liabilities.
Sincerely,
Liberty
Dear Liberty,
I want advice about staying organized and managing my time better. I have been struggling to finish my homework and projects because I get distracted easily and sometimes forget important assignments. It involves me, my teachers, and my parents because they are worried about my grades and responsibilities. It mostly happens at school when I have many assignments, and at home when I try to study but lose focus. It makes me feel stressed, overwhelmed, and frustrated because I want to do better in school.
Sincerely,
Overwhelmed Student
Dear Overwhelmed Student,
I understand how you feel. School can become stressful when you have many assignments and distractions. You can organize yourself. First write down all your homework and due dates in a planner or on your phone This can help you remember important assignments. Next try to finish homework a little at a time instead of waiting until the last minute. When you study at home, put away distractions like your phone or TV. Find a quiet place where you can focus better. Remember small changes can make a big difference.
Sincerely,
Liberty
