Quickwrite - Wednesday

Dear Listening Ear, I am unsure that the person who I like likes me back. I think that I should just tell him but I think it might ruin the friendship. I feel like I am stuck in a whole and the only way out is to confess my feelings. Please help me get out of this deep whole and give me some wholesome advice. Sincerely, Stuck in the middle

Dear Listening Ear,

My son is playing too much Fortnite and this is leading to being too antisocial to hangout with his friends in real life. What do I do?

Sincerely,

Worried MOM

Quickwrite - Tuesday

Dear Listening Ear, Recently I asked my friend if she wanted to hang out. I’ve known her for a long time and we’re pretty close. She usually doesn’t lie to me, but when I asked her to come over to my house, she told me she was sick and I believed her. Later that day I found out she was hanging out with someone else because of the pictures she posted on Instagram. I wouldn’t have been upset if she told the truth. Should I confront her about it, or mind my own business?

Dear Listening Ear,

My girlfriend and I were shopping yesterday, and I saw her steal a necklace from the store. 
Today she gave the necklace to another friend as a birthday present. Should I tell someone
about my friend stealing?  Should I tell the girl who has the necklace that it’s stolen?

Signed,

Confused in Corning
