Super Sis
Dear Super Sis,
I am a student of class VIII. I am worried because all my friends have boyfriends except me. I feel completely left out. I don’t even get invited to parties because I am single. I really want to have a soul-mate to comfort me when I am down.

Who told you that it is important to have a boyfriend? This is absolutely a wrong idea and your friends are being unreasonable by not inviting you to their parties. If you feel left out you can find friends who are ‘single’ like you, and arrange parties which are meant for the whole class.
As for having a soul-mate to comfort you, I think a girl can be a better soul-mate for a girl as you can discuss a lot of personal matters with her that you might not want to discuss with a boy, e.g. the growing up problems and the changes you experience in teenlife.
Dear super sis,
I am a 15-year-old girl. My problem is that I cannot categorize myself. When I behave like children my mother says you are grown up, you should not behave like this and when I behave like elders, she says that you are too young to do such things. Tell me, am I grown up or not, and how should I behave?
Z. S.
This is a usual teenage problem. At this age many kids face are in a fix and can’t decide whether they are children or grown ups. In fact, you are neither a child nor a grownup — you are a teenager, somewhere between childhood and adulthood.
You just have to act your age. Don’t behave like children, but don’t behave like grownups as well. You’ll have to learn to tread the middle path. Keep company of people of your age group and let things take their course. Observe how others of your age group are behaving. Don’t get into a rush to grow up, enjoy your life as these years will not come back.
