Some of my 'friends do themost odd things in their sparetime. Not that Imind theirnutty habits, but they willinsist on trying to get me to,join them in theiradventurous pursuits.For instance, mountainclimbing or pot-holing mightbe enormous fun for somefolk but the mere idea of it isenough to make my hair standon end!Imean to say, my headbegins to spin when Iget fiverungs up a ladder, le t alonehanging on the edge of a cliffseveral thousands of f eet up! Ifeel sick just looking atpictures of people standingastride a precipice withnothing but. air below them.Not that I'm a coward, it justruns in the family - fear ofheights Imean ..Iremember the time agroup of us decided toscramble up a long hill(mountain) inWales ... forfun, would you believe. Well,it didn't look that bad at first.Itwasn't one of those sheer-faced mount;iins ... more of a .gentle slop~ .with slipperyslabs of rock jutting out of theground. A piece of cake,thought I,as Ihurriedeagerly to the top.Then the wind camehowling 'and the rain startedand everybody ran downagain - except me,that is. Iclung to a rock for dear lifeand began to sort through my.pockets for sweets to seewhether Ihad enough rations

Idreaded to think.As it turned out the groupcame back up again andgrabbed me and we all ran tothe bottom together.Now no doubt; you canimagine how Ifelt when one .gusty mate called Roger,sporting flying goggles and an"Airway Code," asked me togo for a spin in a privateaeroplane his dad hadborrowed from a mate!

Iwas stuck: How could Iellhim Iwas scared? I'd neverhear the last of it!' So that'show Iound myself at a smallairfield; getting ready to testmy wings.

Like GlitterBand's Gerry Sheppard."I never think of spookythings when I'm in a well-lit,modern house, but as soon asI get into an olde-worlde-typecottage and somebody startstalking about outa-the-ordinary-type goings on Ifeel a terrible shiver going upmy spine," he told us."Having a vivid imaginationdoesn't help any, either.

But things didn't turnout quite that .way."We started telling eachother' about spooky dreamsI and films we d seen and the

Tonyreally gave us the creeps, Ican tell you," he shivered."Nobody was about, so wewent upstairs to go to bed. Aswe turned the corner of thestairs we heard foot steps. Iran the last few stairs 'cos Ithought it was Pete ... butthere was nobody there!"What was even worse was

Peteit ... and yet five minutesbefore it'd been perfectlysmooth. Ican tell you, thatwas the last time we playedspooky story telling!"TRICKSTERBut despite their teeth-chatterin' experiences theGlitter Band can still see thefunny side of these things."Pete's a right joker,"Tony laughed, "and if he canmake a joke out of somethingthen he will,"He had us biting our nailsone night when we werehaving a get-together. Itwas acold night and the wind waswhistling round the house.Halfway thni the eveningPete told us be was nippingout to make a butty ... so wedidn't think twice about himbeing gone for a while,"We were just listening torecords when we heard thesehorrible wailing noises. Weallwent quiet. , . but the wailingcontinued. We were just-getting ready to push offpretty sharpish when weheard the sound of laughter."Gerry rushed out to findPete rolled up in fits oflaughter. Yup, it was himrnakin' those awful walls!Sounds a pretty mean trickto us. Still, a t least we'll knowwhat to to when we hearwailings outside our officedoor ... throw out a bucket ofice-cold water - 'cos it'll onlybe Jamie trying to give us thecreeps!

You may get the impressionsometimes that I'm theunderprivileged one in thisoffice. Sometimes 1et that .impression myself but there's areason behind the way they treatme. Pure jealousy.It's my fan mail, see'? Mytortoise Lightning isn't the onlyone who likes me. And it'sworrying the girls in the office.. I suspect they're tearing upninety-nine out of every hundredof my fan letters and only givingme one. And as I've had threeletters from Pink fans, thatmeans that three hundred must

I have been written. Threehundred fans? Wow! No wonderthose girls.are envious.I suppose it is just possible thatthey Haven't been tearing up therest o f my letters and the threeI've got are the lot. W ell,maybe ... but even three fanssounds a lot if you say it slowly.T...h..r..e..e. Like that. When Itold my girl Melanie that I hadthree fans she looked at me in acurious way and said, "Why, areyou hot?"1 explained that I was talkingabout people fans, not fan-typefans, but she didn't seem

I particularly impressed. She didremind me that she was a fan ofmine, too, though. Sothat makesfour. Add Lightning and there'sfive. Not bad. And Brigid likes

I me. 'cos she lends me her spoonto stir my coffee.One of'my fans lives inAustralia. Janette, fromBrisbane. She suggested I shouldtry meat pie and sauce - aI typical Australian dish.

14

Obviously, the girl.is worried I'mnot keeping my strength up.Well, Ibought a meat pie butwhen I got home I c ou ldn 't findany sauce. So Ihad to go roundthe other bedsitters trying toborrow some. Only Janettehadn't said what kind of sauce.I ended up with tomato sauce,SOy sauce. HP sauce, Daddie'ssauee, cranberry sauce, mintsauce, Worcester sauce and applesauce. I couldn't taste the piemuch under that lot but I'm sureit did me good. They must betough, those Aussies,I've got a South African fan aswell. It's nice to beinternationally famous. Marilulives in Durban and she likestortoises, which can't be bad.My third fan is Lyn, from far-oU ~ping. She thinks I'm lovelyand there's no answer to that.I've just got to agree.I kind of swagger into theoffice nowadays and collapsecasually into my chair, pausingonly to check for drawing pins onthe seat. I sense a fraction morerespect from the girls: in theoffice. Only a fraction, thougb.When Brigid offers to lend meher spoon I sometimes refusegracefully, just so she won't startf:akingme for panted.

I don't blame the office crowdfor being jealous ofmy enormouspopularity. Maybe they're scaredthey'Il Iese me, worried that I'llbe offered a magazine of myown. It'd be called 'Yellow' ormaybe 'Dark Green', todistinguish it from Pink. And it'dhave a guaranteed readership ofat least three. How could it fail?

Let the tears flow ...But he's made up his mindand nothing you do willchange it.Of course, you want toshout and scream at him why,why. W HY? But he probablydoesn't even know thathimself. Like a clock that'sstopped ticking, he's ceased

to think of you as hi girl-so he's telling you what hefeels in the only way heknows how.It's so hard to acceptthat thin_gsare never going tobe the same again betweenyou, but you must. And aboveall, you must show him thatyou can hold your head uphigh. Yes, it'd be the easiestthing in the world to burstinto tears on his shoulder,praying that he'll say it's

all a mistake and that he'ssorry. But that would be sowrong - he'd only be doingthis 'cos he felt sorry foryou. Whatever. you mustknow you've kept your pridein his eyes.,And later, when he's gone,that's when you can face upto what you're feelinJ!:

AFriend In NeedNow's the time to be withthat friend, that someone whoknows you as well as youknow yourself.

You've gottamake life so busy for yourselfyou won't be able to thinkabout anything but now andevery event as it happens ...And now he isn't around

inside ... so don't beafraid to. Itdoesno good to bottle things upand try to .fight what youfeel. You need to cry and letall that sadness out of yourheart. Then you'll be ready totake a fe w deep breaths, lookout at the sunshine and realisethat it isn't really the end ofthe world.

Carol, Aberdeen

EMBARRASSEDDear Sally, I'm beginning toget depressed about myproblem. Every time olderpeople speak to me or ask meawkward questions Iblushand feel embarrassed.It's the same at school. If Ihave to read anything I getembarrassed. I'm getting tothe point where I don't wantto go to school because of this.None of my friends havethis problem. Please help. I'm13.Dear Carol, Usually,embarrassment of thissort is caused by a lack ofconfidence in yourself.Inwardly you feel you'renot worth very much andhave little to offer - thatother people know somuch more.Also, as you're at anage when you'rechanging, you're notquite sure who you are,and. if anyone in aposition of judgement(like a teacher) callsattention to you in anyway, you feelembarrassea to revealuourseif.You can't forceyourself to be confident- that ius: comes with?lears of experience in theworld when yo.u realisethat we're aU the same,we all have problems andareius: trying to relate toone another. But you canbecome more aware ofyourself and treat eachsituation as it comes.When uou're asked tospeak in class, iust say touourself that you'reability to read is fine -ius: like anyone else's -then .jump.to YOU'I"eetand. plunge right in.It'll take time, but littlebJJlittle you'U find your

can add, ~fhe wants itthis way, -then you haveeveru rig ht to date otherboys!LO VES SCHO OL NO WDear Sally, I'm writing to youconcerning a letter that wasprinted from a girl who saidshe hated the thought ofschool. Sodid I inmy first fewyears. As my mother hadsmall children at home shedidn't mind when I offered tohelp her - and so my firstthree years at comprehensiveschool were broken up by, frequent absences.However, in the fourth yearwhen r started my 'd'~levelcourses, the truth hit me thatunless I stayed at school I'dnot get anywhere.I decided to settle down towork and found that insteadof critical comments aboutlack of homework. I began toreceive praise.Now I'm nearly 16 and I'llbe sitting 'O'~Ievelsin thesummer. I'm quite confidentbecause I worked hard andachieved quite high grades inmy mocks.Now I moan when mumasks me to stay away fromschool, as 1 enjoy itimmensely. I even took up anart 'O'-level course during mydinner-time. My headmasterhas told me to work for', university and I decided thatI shall try.I hope this will help yourreader to understand that shewill only get out of schoolwhat she puts into it.She also said that she didn'tget on with all her teachers.Who does? But some ofare really nice people.

My friends and I areplanning a youth hostellingholiday in August and overbalf our teachers are reallypleased that we are makingefforts to help ourselves.

AU problems have a soLution - of one SOTt oranother. So if you're in a quandrary, write andtell me about it. I'LLdo my best to help ...One teacher is bringing us abook all about youthhostelling; another is going tohelp us plan our route, as heknows the area.So why should the teachersat our school be so different?If your reader is determinedto hate school, then why.should teachers botherthemselves with her? If sheshowed some interest, sowould they. Why not try tomake these years enjoyableones? Irene, Gloueestershire

Dear Irene, Thanks foruour Letter, It's alwaysaooa to receive aresponse such as yours.[ must say though, thatthere are many girls withthis school problem, andit's not as easily solved asyours was. Everyone Ofus is d~f.ferent - strong in.

W h o w as th e first p erso nto have a birthday? W hodecided that th e Queen(greedy) should havetw o? W h o w r ote this? ...

Happy Birthday To M e ...Iremember my birthday lastyear.Iwoke up-and Ihought,'Today is my birthday. Iamone year older. Iam gettingold.Im past it. Soon it'll beall arthritis andrheumatism ... "My mum came in."Good morning, dear," shesaid. "As it's your birthday,I've brought you breakfast inbed. See, I've got yourWinnie-the-Pooh egg-cup andsome little dippy soldiers .v."My mum obviously doesn'tthink I'm getting older. Infact. if she had her way I'dstill be walking about with abulge in my jeans fromwearing nappies,

WhenIgot to workIushedto my desk and found a pile ofenvelopes tucked under mytypewriter.'Ab. I thought, 'they've allsent me cards. How sweet.'Turned out they werecomplaints from readers ,why didn't we putsomething more useful on theback page. like an ad forhydraulic lawn mowersmaybe?WhenIgot home, myIF ."n'1" had arranged aI u.;"." party for me.lt was great. We had amobile disco (that means thegot ants in his pants),lots of food and drink andloads of tasty fellas. Wedanced the night away.The surprise was that Ihadfor it. I've got nice

thing is, as you getdiscover thatjust ain't what theyto be.I remember when I was six

my mum tookme and myfriends to the Swimming bathsfor my birthday treat.Igot there and found thatI'd forgotten my swimsuit andthe only thing they could offerme was a pair of boy's trunks.Iwas terribly embarrassedand walked everywherebackwards.Then, when Iwas seven, meand my buddies went out for apicnic. We lit a fire and hadbangers and beans.Afterwards we playedgames and got prizes. Iwonan enormous humbug whichgot stuck in my throat andgave my mum the excuse tothump me on the back andturn me upside-down.This year my birthday is onJune 14th, as always.Iknow that when Icomeinto work, nobody will jumpup and shout, "HappyBirthday, our Bridge!"Iknow that my mum willgive me a foot deodorant andsome anti-perspirant socks.And I know that my dad willpat me on the head and say,"Hello son, how old are wethis year then?".Iknow all that so this yearI'm not bothering with mybirthday.But. if any -o f you lot shoulddecide to send me cards,flowers, chocolates or

pictures of the Bay CityI Rollers with greasy thumb-prints all over them, Iwon'tmind.

'Dear Sally, Please PusbO ff .. 'Ihave never known anotherperson quite like our DearSally.And i1 I never know anotherperson like Sally, Ishan'tcomplain. Run off into acorner and laugh like a drainmaybe, but complain - nope.Valli says that we are verylucky to have Sally becauseshe is a 'restraininginfluence' .Because, you see, Sally'slike a sort of mum.You know the way yourmum comes in and spoils allthe fun when you're justabout to hit your littlebrother over the head with aripe tomato and see if theseeds will hit the wall six feetaway? Well, Sally's like that.If Kim and Iare danglingJamie by his ankles out of thewindow in order to persuadehim to tell us where he'shidden our jeans which heswiped while we were trying:on some skirts in the

wardrobe, Sally will stop us.She will leave us standingthere in our Marks & Sparkscami-knicks, calf-lengthwoolly socks and stilletos andshe will console Jamie.Never mind about our barelegs which haven't seen thelight of day since August 17th,1973when we both rashlydisplayed our knees to thesunlight out on the rooftops.It's as bad as having myown mum around all the time.And you can't get much worsethan that.
