Dear Athena, I am very upset. My sister made a dress and she entered it in a contest. She won first prize! I am really happy for her but I am also feeling a bit upset. She did not give me any credit and I am the one that taught her to sew. I need some advice on the best way to handle this. Sincerely, A Disgruntled Sister
Dear Disgruntled Sister, I understand your annoyance. I have been in a similar position before, and I can feel you. I suggest that you handle the situation like I did and turn her into a spider. I must say, it solves your problems very well. Sincerely, Athena
Dear Athena, I have just started my own business, but I don't know how to deal with all the stress. You are a goddess and run a city. How do you do it so calmly and professionally. Sincerely, Stressed
Dear Stressed, The thing is, I am magical, so it is easy for me. I suggest that you get a co-worker to help you with the jobs to be done. It will take away half the stress! Sincerely, Athena
Dear Athena, I have a friend, and I feel like she is always copying me. When I ask her, she denies it. What do you think I should do? Sincerely, A Non-Copier
Dear Non-Copier, Well, since your friend always denies you, give it up. If she tries to ask the answer to a problem, what you are doing for a project, or she tries to look over your shoulder and at your paper, just deny her or cover your answers with a book. If this doesn't work, talk to a teacher or parent about what you should do next. Sincerely, Athena
Dear Athena, My brothers are mad because my Dad prefers me. I am his favorite daughter and he lets me have all sorts of privileges that he does not give to my brothers. I love my brothers but I also like being "Daddy's Girl". Sincerely, "Daddy's Girl"
Dear "Daddy's Girl", I understand your feelings. I, too, am one of my dad's favorite children. There isn't much that you can do, but you can still sit down and talk to them. Try to reserve some time in your day to spend with them, and maybe ask your dad if he can give a new privilege or two to your brothers so they don't feel left out. Sincerely, Athena
Dear Athena, I love to invent things. My mom says "this is a waste of time" and I should get a real job. I am really good at this and I think I may invent something really useful. Please help!! Sincerely, Tinker Girl
Dear Tinker Girl, I have invented many things in my life, and I know how much fun it is to finally finish a project. I suggest that you sit down with you mom and tell her how much you enjoy this. If you still can't compromise, them maybe offer to get a part-time job, then invent in your free time. Sincerely, Athena
Dear Horse Crazy, A good way to train an animal is with a reward. When you try to teach him a trick, give him a carrot when he does part of it or completes the whole trick. If this doesn't work, then I would call a professional horse trainer and ask them for advice. Sincerely, Athena
Dear Athena, I love birds and I have always wanted to have one for a pet. Do you have any suggestions of they type I should get? Sincerely, A Bird Lover
Dear Bird Lover, I suggest that you choose the bird that will be the best suited for you. It is really a personal preference, so I would do some research. I personally suggest the owl. It is my favorite bird!! Happy bird shopping! Sincerely, Athena
