Dear Coonley Cougar,
Sometimes I don’t complete my homework and then I can’t hang out with my friends or watch a movie because my parents say I have to complete school work before I do anything. I've been really stressed out about doing my homework because I don't understand some of the things. I can't talk to my teachers about it because we're online and I don't want the rest of the class to hear me. What do I do?
From Upset Student

Dear Upset Student, 
Sometimes when I don't get an assignment done, I would email my teachers and ask them for a little help. That might be hard to do if you're scared but teachers will be there for you and would want to know if you need help on something. If you aren't comfortable doing that then, maybe you can ask to schedule a meeting with your teacher and ask some questions. I hope that this helped so then you can finish your homework and play with your friends!

​Dear Coonley Cougar,
Lately one of my friends hasn't been the nicest to me, but when I try to talk to her she just leaves. I don’t know what to do because she is a really good friend, but sometimes she can be mean to me.
From Sad Friend 

Dear Sad Friend, 
When friends are mean to me it’s really hard, but you should let them know that you want to be their friend. You just don’t like it when they are mean to you. You should definitely keep trying to talk to them. Most times when people are mean to you, it’s because they have something else going on and may need your help to be there for them as a friend.
