Dear Dr. Jan,

My sister keeps abusing me and threatening me and hitting me. I keep telling my mom and all she does is yell at my sister and say don’t do it again, but she doesn't stop. What should I do to make her stop?

Dear Dr. Jan,

My dad suddenly passed away nine months ago. I am not ready to deal with it, mostly because I do not fully believe that he is gone. I am constantly being pressured into talking about my feelings. How can I tell my peers to leave me alone without being rude?

Dear Dr. Jan,

I don't like being adopted because I'm wondering what my real parents look like. In middle school, people always say, “Your parents gave up on you.” I’m not sure if that's true or not. Did they hate me? Didn't they love me?
