Girl should seek some help to sweeten her tart tongue
DEAR ABBY: I’m 15. My problem is I often mouth off and insult people. When I’m asked to explain why I said what I did, I answer with, ”I don’t know” or a shrug. It’s the truth. It upsets me that I act this way, and I have lost friends because of it. My parents […]
