Test Nerves Does She Like Me? Love Triangle Good Marks, Bad Situation

 A    Dear Marnie,

    The other day, I got my exam results and I was overjoyed to find out that I passed with flying colours. But when I rang my friend to arrange a night to celebrate, I found out that she had done really badly. She’s really upset and doesn’t want to go out. It’s really awkward because I did so well, and I’m disappointed we can’t go out and paint the town red. What should I do to make her feel better?

 B    Dear Marnie,

    Last week, this girl invited me out to the cinema.  I was really delighted because I really liked her.  We went out and had a really good time.  But yesterday, I saw her hanging out with her friends and I told her what a good time I’d had.  She made fun of me and said she didn’t know what I was talking about.  I felt really embarrassed, and now I’m really confused because I don’t know if she likes me or not.  What should I do?

C   Dear Marnie,

There’s a boy at our school who my friend and I have always really liked.  The problem is that last week he asked me out, and of course I said yes.  I’m really excited about it, but my friend is really annoyed.  I think she’s jealous.  Now she wants nothing to do with me any more.  What can I do to convince her that she’s still important to me?

 D  Dear Marnie,

   We have to do presentations for a test next week, and I’m really worried about it.  The thing is, I get really nervous when I’m talking in front of people and I know I’m going to make a real mess of it.  The problem is, I’m usually a pretty good student at school, and my dad is going to be furious if I get bad marks.  What should I do?
