Dear C.E.R.B.,
People keep poking my face. What should I do?
-POKERFACE

Dear POKERFACE,
I suggest you talk to the people that are poking your face. Explain to that individual that you don’t appreciate having your personal space invaded. If that doesn’t work, see an administrator, teacher or councilor.

Dear C.E.R.B.,
My boyfriend doesn’t talk to me a lot. I feel like he is avoiding me. What should I do?
-AVOIDEDGIRL

Dear AVOIDEDGIRL,
I think you and your boyfriend should talk. Just try get together more often to spend some quality time. Going to the mall, out for pizza, to the roller-skating rink or even a walk in the park can be good opportunity to just catch up on your feelings. Talk to him and tell him how you feel. If it is meant to be he will understand. Contact CERB if you need more advice.

Dear C.E.R.B.,
My girlfriend is talking to a lot of other boys. I don’t know if she is over me or just has a lot of GUY friends. Help me, please?
-MYSTERYBOY

Dear MYSTERYBOY,
If you are having those kinds of questions it may be time to have a talk with your girlfriend. She might not be interested in you or she might have a lot of GUY friends. Just have a calm talk with her to work out your feelings. If she is over you then both of you should move on and meet of people. If you both decide to continue dating you should let her go on talking to the other guys and trust her.
