I’m in college. I’m deeply in love with a junior. She’s in 1st year. I don’t know how to express my feelings to her.
Rajeev, Hyderabad
Just be brave enough to approach her and express. The age old ritual of a romantic love letter might also do the trick. Whatever way you adopt, I suggest, don’t waste time! Just express. Nothing to lose my dear. Woo her, make her feel special, gift her an orchid, take her out to movies, restaurants and just ‘Bol Daalo’!! Best of luck!!
I have recently discovered that my younger brother is homosexual. My parents are not aware. I’m very nervous.
Name withheld, Delhi
See my friend, don’t get nervous! It’s fine! I understand, that ‘discovering’ this wasn’t a happy feeling but please don’t create any situation that will lead your brother to take any drastic step or make him feel awkward. If he’s really young, there could be a chance that this ‘phase’ will pass. But, if it doesn’t, please be mature enough to make him feel comfortable as this is his ‘preference’ and being ‘homosexual’ is never an offence or crime! Live and let live...
I’m 14 years old. My parents have informed me that they are getting divorced. I have been asked to decide on which parent I choose to stay with. I’m shattered. I can’t imagine this!
Neha, Noida
I’m really sorry to hear that but Neha, they must be getting separated for their reasons. You have to handle yourself with utmost care as you are special. Concentrate on activities that make you feel good - sport, friends, books, movies. Think both from your head and heart and decide on your choice. Living with one doesn’t mean that you will be completely detached from the other. You must spend time with both your parents according to your will. If you think, then you can also opt for a residential school away from your present location. New environment might be best. Convey your decision accordingly. Cheer up girl, life is beautiful and I’m sure, you will be happy always.
My husband can’t satisfy me sexually. I’ve got involved with his cousin who lives with us. I’m enjoying sex but feel scared. What should I do?

Good to hear that you are ‘enjoying’. But yes! This case of cousin living in with you is definitely a reason to worry. I suggest, please be extra careful. Nobody should sense it ever. Temporary joy shouldn’t lead to permanent problems. You have to prioritise your own life and act. Sex is important but not at the cost of your mental peace and long term happiness.
