GIRL RUSTLERS
My friends are stealing girls away
from me faster than I can ask them
out. What should I do? Also, I have
been told by someone close to me
that you are my illegitimate father!

If you're really my kid, then all you
have to do is look them in the eye
and take the girls back.
FLY GEAR
A couple of weeks ago, I went
shopping. I came home with a
bunch of skater clothes. My dad
got pissed. He says I dress like a
guy. He won't let me dress how I
want. I hate it. I got half of my head
shaved and dyed. He's a stress ball
He says he hates all these changes
He's too strict. So I rebel. What do
do to break away from the daddy's
little girl thing? Is it wrong to rebel?

Show him that you're willing to
work together, but insist on your
rights as an individual. Remember,

14 THE
School is Out
With summer finally upon us, it is now time for all
young schoolchildren to flee the drudgery of forced
education and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. But
wait, schools aren't all that bad. Besides skating on
long asphalt playgrounds, cement basketball courts
and occasional banks, there are actually a few things
worth getting from school itself. Forget about the
bitchy teachers, trendy classmates and clueless coun
selors, think ahead, what do you want to do when
you're out of school: Paint, write, draw, play music,
build houses, work on cars, or maybe save the envi-
ronment? Get an edge while you can, it's free while
you're still in school. There's nothing better than
working at a job you enjoy and doing something you
believe in. Of course there will always be idiots to
contend with, but such is life. I
