Staff Reporters Ani and Maggie, I know this sounds so cliched, but I'm completely in love with one of my friends. I know what you're thinking when I say that, this is high school and I don't know what it means to be in love. I don't have a better word for it. It's more than like, I can guarantee that. She's an amazing person to be around and whenever she and I are together we can't stop laughing with each other. I just love seeing her be happy, seeing her smile. The problem is that she considers me an older brother. "Older brothers" don't get attracted to "little sisters." I don't think 22 ) Legal and financial transactions need careful thought. Check them so there aren't any loopholes. You might discover one ambiguity just in the nick of time.

Friends want you to join them but offer excellent advice ear Ani A ni a n d M a g g ie Virgo (August 24-September she realizes how much it hurts me to be around her and know that nothing will happen when I want something to happen so badly. I can’t tell her how much it hurts because I've spent the past couple months trying to prevent rifts in our friendship after the first one almost pushed her away from me. She knows that I have feelings for her, yet she continues to do things that keep me at just the right distance that I know nothing can happen, but always keeps me around. The Romeo She'll Never Know Dear Romeo, From what you've said, it sounds as though your friend knows your feelings and doesn't return them. While it's possible that this could change, it's not advisable to wait around for that to happen. You need to decide if your friendship with her is meaningful enough to maintain even if you have to deal with the pain of her not returning your romantic feelings. If you want to continue the friendship, try branching out to others, too. Talk to people you haven't talked to before and see if you can meet someone new who feels the same way about you as you do about them. If you're willing to risk the friendship over your feelings, try talking to her. It would be hard, but it would help both of you understand the other's point of view better. Even if it doesn't lead to a romance, it could lead to you two knowing what the other needs to make the friendship survive. Let her know what she does that makes the situation hard for you, and she'll likely give you some pointers, too. We wish you the best of luck with whatever decision you make! Ani and Maggie If you have a problem and would like to receive advice from Ani and Maggie, just write a letter and put it in the "Advice Box" at the desk in the library. All letters received will remain anonymous. The, sMervte Suffered if you're tied to your home, perhaps they might have to come to you, instead!

Students share input on health Health & Fitness__________ u continued from page 8 "I used to a few years ago and it got obsessive, so I stopped. I actually eat less when I'm not counting calories," a female senior said. Opinions were mixed about whether students felt pressure to exercise or about their eating habits. Many of those who did feel pressure said it came from peers or the media. "People will judge you based on your appearance and also you will compare yourself to other people with 'the perfect body,"' a female freshman said. Most people reported the pressure being self-inflicted, and many are realizing that this is often the case. "I do [feel pressure], but a lot less pressure than before.
