No Pity

Dear Miss U,

I am a 16 year old girl who recently moved to Perth, Australia from England. We’ve been here for nearly 3 months. It wasn’t a choice I was happy with. I moved with my family and we moved because my parents found better jobs here. Everyone seems to be happy with the move except me…

Direct Communication

Dear Miss U,

So this guy and I aren’t officially dating, but he calls me his internet girlfriend and always jokes about us being together. We used to talk all day every day for a couple months. It has died down to maybe once a week or less…

Words Are Wind

Dear Miss U,

I’m currently in Texas and I moved from California. I have been talking to a guy from California for about 6 months now. We are happy, we both like each other and care for one another. He has gotten out of a 3 year relationship 2 months before we started talking…

Limited Solutions

My partner and I are about 10 hours travel from each other, and only get to see each other once every two months, for 1-2 weeks. I’m finding the relationship increasingly challenging due to the controlling nature of his mom…
