Sizing it Up
Dear Ms. Meniscus, Another student at our school won't stop complaining about the size of his room. I don't mind the rooms and think, with enough talking, he'll feel the same. But I don't have much time before school starts. What should I do? -Mopey in Montreal
Dear Mopey,
Worry about swaying his opinion of room size and you could jeopardize your own schoolwork. This is bad.
Tell him to take it up with the school -- complaining to you will not get his room changed.

Sibling Chivalry
Dear Ms. Meniscus, My little sister is driving me crazy. She wants to follow me everywhere. But I don't want her to. What do I do? - Connor in South Carolina
Dear Connor,
Your sister tags along because she loves you, admires you, and wants to be just like you. But your parents have already told you that.
If that's not enough, think of it this way: be nice to her and you have a willing friend who will help clean your room and fetch you that cool glass of Kool-Aid.
