  “Teen-zine” is an American magazine of 30 pages; the hottest ten problems are here for discussion. The readers’ questions are usually answered by teens that are remembered from TV  shows or films.

  Danica acted as Winnie Cooper from TV show  THE WONDER YEARS. She was very successful but finally took a decision to try something completely different. She got in touch with the magazine and got a good chance to share her “words of wisdom” with young adults.

  Read some extracts from those problem pages, may be they will be helpful.

  Question: Hi, Danica. I’m Mary from St. Luis. I have this problem with making friends. It started about a year ago when Maggie and I seemed to be real friends. At first she was really nice to me and we shared secrets. It was one day some months later when she called me. She told me things like she hated me and she never wanted to see me again. She also spread bad rumors about me and told everyone my secrets. I’ve never done anything wrong; I was always nice to her. And recently, she did it again to another girl. However since then, I’ve always had trouble finding friends and trusting everyone. What should I do?

  Danica: Well, there are no guarantees in life, and sharing secrets to someone should be done very carefully. There are about 2 people in my life who I will share true secrets with and I have known them for over 10 years. I don’t think that most people are as cruel as this one girl. Since she turned around from another girl, you really can’t take it personally. You just got unlucky. I think it’s great to have a close friend. Just keep it in your mind how long you have really known that person. Try not to give them qualities that they have not shown yet. Again I don’t mean that you should be cynical when making new friends. But in the first few months especially, when you feel like sharing your secrets, be very careful.

  You can also try writing in your diary about your new friends when you are not sure who they are to you. You don’t have to analyze everything they do, but you can just check in with yourself. You can always tear up the page, if you are afraid of what someone else would think. Please, remember, different friends have different things to offer. Some of them will never be those with whom you share secrets. That’s okay too. Just don’t tell them things you don’t want other people to know. Those friends can be a lot of fun with! Here is a cool idea ( I don’t remember who said it ): “People will disappoint you. Love them anyway.”
