Please help me!
Q. I really like this guy, but he likes skipping school and smoking. The worst part is he also cuts himself. Friends say he likes me, but he's suspended from school at the moment and it's hard to talk to him because he's meant to be going to a foster home. What should I do?

It sounds to me like this guy needs a good friend who will support him through whatever it is he's going through. If you can't talk to him, try writing him a letter or keeping in contact via SMS. But, Sheyne, it sounds like this guy needs help from the right people, so you should encourage him to talk to the school counsellor, especially if he is harming himself.
