I don’t seem to be a priority for my boyfriend

Dear T2T: I just started dating a guy and he is my first “real” boyfriend. My problem is that I don’t seem to be a very big priority to him. I know he is busy and stuff, but he chooses to hang out with his friends a lot more than me. We text and stuff, but I would like to have more face to face time with him. I don’t want to seem like a high maintenance complainer, but it just seems like if he is my boyfriend that he would try to see me more. Am I unreasonable or is this just kind of normal? — Help

Be careful what you drink at parties

Dear T2T: Please print this letter as it may help others. My friend was slipped a date-rape drug at a party. She was drinking, but not that much, then suddenly she started acting super drunk and went unconscious. We got her out of there, but nobody would take her to emergency because her dad is well known in town. We kept watching her breathing and heartbeat. She woke up the next day, but she’s really spacey and shaky. I’m still scared for her health. Please warn others: Don’t drink ANYTHING you don’t open yourself at a party! We totally thought this party was okay. To anyone who uses these drugs, you are potential murderers and should go to jail. Have you heard this happening around here lately? — Spread the word

“I would definitely do what I wanted without letting others convince me otherwise. I would follow my dreams.” “I would try to accomplish my dreams, just living each day doing everything I could.” “I would try to help others that were in the same position that I was in and just accomplish as much as I could, making the most of those years.”

Internships can lead to jobs

Finding a job can be a daunting challenge, especially if you don’t have any work experience. But to get a job you need work experience. It’s a nasty catch-22 that can be difficult to conquer. An internship just may be your key to landing a job.

Boyfriend wants nude photographs

Dear T2T: My boyfriend and I will be away from each other for 3 weeks this winter break. He wants me to send him nude pictures of myself over our phones. I trust him to keep them private, but I’m nervous. What do I tell him when he keeps wanting them? We are sexually active so it’s not like something he hasn’t seen. — Little Hesitant
