Dear Abby Dear Abby,

My girlfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago. I’m very upset

and I want her back.

A lonely X

Dear lonely X,

You should start first by talking to her. Discuss the reason she broke

up with you. Trying to establish a friendship again should be your

main goal. If she just doesn’t feel the same way you should try to

move on. There’s other fish in the sea!

Abby

Dear Abby,

I really like this guy but he hates me (I’m pretty sure). I still like him

though. I do have a theory. I think that he still thinks that girls have

cooties or he was just trying to show off to his friends. If we were

rated he would be a 10 and I would be a 9. I always write about him,

talk about him, and look at him. He’s in all my classes except P.E.

but I still see him there! I just don’t know what to do! HELP ME

ABBY!!!!!!!!!

Broken Hearted & Confused

Dear Broken Hearted and Confused,

First DO NOT underestimate yourself! Second there are sooo many

other hot dudes in middle school. Don’t get so hung up on him. But,

you should at least try to be his friend first. Every good relationship

starts with a solid friendship. If he is in every class then don’t look at

him so much. Just concentrate on other subjects. Boyfriends and girl-

friends don’t last as long as friends do. Your friends will always be

there for you. If in the end you do not have a boyfriend, at least

you’ve gained a friend.

Sincerely,

Abby

Poet’s Corner This is a poem that a good friend of mine submitted. Enjoy!

I Am Poem…. I am caring and forgiving.

I wonder, when will the world end?..

I see the good in the bad, in people..

I want to help the helpless…

I am caring and forgiving.

I pretend to be a professional dancer….

I feel frightened when I’m alone with no one to talk to….

I worry about not being good enough…

I cry about the relationship I have with my parents….

I am caring and forgiving.

I understand that life isn’t easy, and wasn’t meant to be…

I say that I’m not perfect and don’t want to be….

I dream of being successful….

I try to please everyone….

I hope to be a better parent than mine….

I am caring and forgiving.

Currently, the eighth graders are reciting poems in Mrs. Spencer’s

class. One of these poems is Shel Silverstein’s “No Difference”.

Here is this poem:

Small as a peanut Big as a giant, We're all the same size When we turn off the light Rich as a sultan Poor as a mite Were all worth the same When we turn out the light Red black or orange, Yellow or white (continued on next page)

We all look the same When we turn off the light. So maybe the way To make everything right Is for God to just reach out And turn off the light! Some people may catch on to this poem quickly while others may be left behind and confused. This poem, in my opinion, is an easier poem to interpret. I am here to help those who have a little more trouble. Below are some questions that you can chew on while you read and help you.

a. Why are colors mentioned in the poem? b. Why has the poet used these specific colors? c. How would turning out the light benefit? d. Why does wealth and size matter? e. What do you think of when you think of the word “different”?

By learning to ask yourself these kind of questions you will eventually be able to fluently solve poetry’s mysteries.

Only One Life

You only live your life once...you only live today once…

you only live this hour once…

you only live this minute once…

you only live this second once…

LIVE IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT.

Valengrams

What are “valengrams”? Well, valengrams are a form with

candy attached to it. You had a chance to make someone happy

for Valentine’s Day! Our Central Middle Talented Music and

Theatre students sold them after lunch on last week. Here is

what some of the people had to say about them:

This is what Robert Paxton had to say about it:

“Excited, good. Thank you, you’re nice.”

Brian Johnson had a good review:

“Good. Sweet of her to buy him a gram.”

“Love”

Love is special

Love is kind

Love helps you get through the vines

Love never drowns out until you push it away

So remember

When you say “I love you”

Make sure it is the truth.
